Chapter 1790: Chapter 1449: Imprisonment of Various Immortals in the Deep Net_2

“This light ring is designed to prevent any unforeseen incidents. If we are completely annihilated, the light ring will take care of recovering everything we left behind.”

Upon hearing this, everyone had a subtle change in their expressions.

“With you leading, Qian Laoda, and the World Ending Black Arrow as such a powerful tool, along with us being within the Dao Network, fighting on home ground, how could we possibly be completely annihilated?” Jiang Yuming frowned and asked, a bit incredulous.

Qian Ruochang’s perpetual faint smile suddenly disappeared: “Hunter and prey, roles switch swiftly in the blink of an eye.”

“Though our chances of winning are high, our opponent is still an [Immortal].”

“Moreover, a True Immortal who has survived since the ancient catastrophes and the hunts of Immortal Hunt…”

Qian Ruochang coldly glanced at Jiang Yuming.

Jiang Yuming couldn’t help but lower his head and repeatedly said, “I am taught, I am taught.”

“Your understanding of the Immortals is still too limited. Next, I will take you to truly understand a True Immortal.”

“And also, to find a suitable bait.”

The light and shadows around everyone rapidly changed.

At this speed, they could have crossed the Sea of the Northern Stars several times. But for some reason, they continued forward with no end in sight.

The original vitality and brightness once again became dim.

However, it didn’t disappear but seemed to float above everyone’s heads, surrounding them like stars, hanging overhead.

They were delving deeper into an unknown realm.

“The place we are heading to is where the [Deep Net] lies. It is also where the Sea of the Northern Stars imprisons the Various Immortals.”

“The so-called Deep Net is the deep core of the Dao Network.” Qian Ruochang’s introduction to the [Deep Net] was brief and seemingly unwilling to elaborate.

“The Deep Net is top secret; ordinary people do not know its existence, let alone have the fortune to enter it.”

“Even I couldn’t casually enter or exit if it weren’t for this mission to hunt the True Immortal.”

As they descended, countless tiny points of light incessantly flickered on Qian Ruochang and the newly promoted immortal hunters.

It seemed to be verifying everyone’s identity.

When the vital stars overhead completely vanished, only then did their movement halt.

It was as if they had arrived in a dark Great Void, surrounded by nothingness.

In front of Qian Ruochang, countless symbols seemed to surge simultaneously.

A thread of silk suddenly illuminated the darkness.

On either side of the thread, there were distributed frame after frame.

They seemed like cages, and yet like a world.

The boundaries of the frames were extraordinarily thick, swearing to completely isolate what was imprisoned inside from the outside world.

And within these frames…

Were imprisoned individuals!

Or more accurately, Immortals!

Some of them were in a state of slumber.

Some were awake, with indifferent, murderous gazes, constantly and vigilantly scanning their surroundings, attempting to find a way to escape and break free in the void.

And there were those in utter madness, endlessly casting Immortal Techniques, bombarding everything in the world, even though in their cage, besides themselves, there is nothing else.

All these imprisoned True Immortals had one thing in common.

They were all pierced with threads of various colors, extending from their bodies and connecting to the outside.

Yet, these threads didn’t reach the cage’s “boundary,” but rather vanished directly into the void midway.

It was evident that the imprisoned True Immortals couldn’t see these threads on themselves, only Li Fan and his fellow observers could see them clearly.

“So these… are the Immortals?”

After the initial shock, everyone’s awe toward the Immortals completely dissipated.

After all, when anyone sees True Immortals, existing only in legends and imagination, in this real state before them, attitudes are bound to shift dramatically.

“Behind the Immortal Cage, you naturally cannot feel the terror of the True Immortals.”

“If I were to put you in there to experience it, you would then know what the [Might of the True Immortal] truly means.” Qian Ruochang saw the disdain growing in everyone’s hearts and said with a cold laugh.

Then his gaze swept over everyone, as if genuinely considering choosing someone.

Everyone was horrified and straightened up, not daring to reveal any hint of abnormality in their expressions.

They then solemnly observed the situation.

“Qian Laoda, these True Immortals must have been imprisoned for a long time. Why do they all still look so vigorous and healthy?”

“Not at all showing the decadence and weakness of long-term imprisonment?”

In the silent environment, someone suddenly asked.

Qian Ruochang looked towards the questioner “Ma Tiande” and nodded in approval: “I didn’t expect you to so quickly recognize the core of the problem.”

“You are quite remarkable!”

“It’s not because we continued to provide them with energy supplies after imprisoning them, but because as True Immortals, their own energy is inherently inexhaustible!” Qian Ruochang announced emphatically.

It was evident that not everyone was aware of the infinite nature of the True Immortal power.

Upon hearing this, the majority of the people were astounded.

“Infinite? How is that possible?”

Clearly, the concept of infinity starkly contradicted everything they had learned and known their entire lives.

“The Infinite Immortal Spirit Power of the True Immortals originates from an unfathomable region known as the [Infinite Sea].”

“Even existing beyond the Tao, hence even the core power of the Dao Network cannot sever the connection between the True Immortals and the Infinite Sea.”

“The ability to freely harness the power of the Infinite Sea–that is what truly makes the True Immortals terrifying.”

Qian Ruochang pointed to a man sitting cross-legged with eyes closed in one of the frames.

“This Immortal was among the first batch we captured. He has been imprisoned for nearly fifty thousand years.”

“Yet he remains steadfast and has not shown the slightest flaw. Although the cages are in the Dao Jue Site, making cultivation and realm advancement impossible, this Immortal, relying solely on inner insight, has silently enhanced his strength over the years. At present, it’s unknown to what extent he has reached.” Qian Ruochang sighed slightly.

His tone carried helplessness as well as admiration.

“Why don’t we just kill them all!” Jin Changyue, who had been mostly silent, suddenly spoke up, revealing undisguised killing intent and desire.

“Hehe…” Qian Ruochang did not answer, only giving a laugh of obscure meaning.

Li Fan noticed that when Qian Ruochang laughed, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the various colored threads inserted in the True Immortals’ bodies.

Reflecting on the four Nameless True Immortals used as the Life Stakes, Li Fan pondered: “Perhaps the establishment and stability of the Dao Network might be inextricably linked to these imprisoned True Immortals.”
