I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2311
Chapter 2311: Chapter 2310: Text Prison, Imprisoning the Myriad Clans
Compared to Gongsun Hong, this Xu Xian is obviously much calmer.
He understands the principle of having to bow one’s head when under the eaves.
And Gongsun Hong is obviously spoiled, completely unaware of fear.
Thus, the three of them began organizing books and gathering information in the Historiography Hall.
However, the three of them could not leave the Hall, making it nearly impossible to gather information.
One day, Gongsun Hong approached Shangguan Ya.
In her eyes, Shangguan Ya seemed like a girl unaware of the world, only knowing how to read, thus easily deceived.
She smiled and said, “Hello, let’s get acquainted. My name is Gongsun Hong.”
“I know,” Shangguan Ya responded with her name.
Asked, “Is there something you need, Gongsun?”
“Nothing, just a casual chat. I think there’s not much fun in this Historiography Hall,” Gongsun Hong laughed.
“Classmate Shangguan, I heard that our Hall didn’t have a teacher before.”
“When did this new teacher arrive?”
“You mean Teacher Xu? He just arrived recently,” Shangguan Ya replied.
“But Teacher Xu is quite nice, he usually stays in the inner chamber.”
“Oh, do you know Teacher Xu? Do you know what he did before?” Gongsun Hong asked again.
“I don’t know him. I’m only interested in books, and I don’t know all of the teachers here,” Shangguan Ya replied.
“Have you been to the inner chamber?” Gongsun Hong asked.
“What is it like inside, and why aren’t we allowed in?”
“I’ve been there. The inner chamber doesn’t have books, maybe it’s a place for Teacher Xu to rest and cultivate,” Shangguan Ya said.
She couldn’t understand the Talisman Seals inside.
Since there were no books inside, Shangguan Ya did not pay it much attention.
“By the way, if I don’t want to stay in the Historiography Hall, can I transfer to other places?” Gongsun Hong asked again.
“It used to be possible, but lately the Academy has been busy, probably won’t have time for you.
Besides, if you want to transfer, you need to complete a year first,” Shangguan Ya said.
Gongsun Hong secretly gritted her teeth, ultimately forced to let it go.
This phase of life continued for another week.
……
At the moment inside the inner chamber.
Xu Zimei was already in a very special state.
He seemed to have merged with the Talisman Seals on the chamber walls.
Those Seals activated one by one, turning into tadpole-like characters, swirling around Xu Zimei.
After a bout of contemplation, Xu Zimei found out that these characters were not from the Nine Domains World.
Though the Nine Domains had myriad clans, each with different scripts, generally Xu Zimei could understand them at a glance.
It could be said, comprehending one law makes all laws clear.
Many characters shared the same roots, Xu Zimei could learn them at first glance.
But these tadpole-like characters didn’t seem to belong to this world.
Xu Zimei believed the secret of the Thousand Calamities Doomsday and the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm was contained within these characters.
But he didn’t understand the characters, he must find a way to comprehend them.
Xu Zimei slowly stood up.
The aura around him gradually subsided, absorbed into his being.
And the animated characters also began disappearing one by one.
In the room, the Talisman Seals returned to their usual state.
Xu Zimei walked out of the inner chamber, sunlight falling inside the Historiography Hall, casting small spots on the floor.
The three newcomers saw Xu Zimei, promptly starting to seriously organize books.
Shangguan Ya continued as usual, seated at her usual spot, perusing books.
The sea of books is endless, these books may well be enough for her lifetime.
“Do you know anyone researching languages within the Academy?” Xu Zimei asked.
“The Academy has a Text Prison,” Shangguan Ya said.
“It’s said to incarcerate people from myriad clans, dedicated to studying their languages and lifestyles.”
“Text Prison!” Xu Zimei squinted slightly.
Said, “Was this created by the Thousand Calamities Doomsday?”
“I don’t know, I’ve only heard about it, never been there myself,” Shangguan Ya said.
Having gotten the information from Shangguan Ya, Xu Zimei didn’t linger, first finding Mighty Mountain Ghost.
He briefly inquired about the Text Prison.
As Xu Zimei had suspected, the Text Prison was indeed created by the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.
For a time, the Thousand Calamities Doomsday valued the Text Prison greatly.
Even personally captured people from myriad clans to research.
As for the specifics, even the Nine Mountain Ghosts didn’t know.
They couldn’t understand the purpose of studying characters.
Xu Zimei expressed a desire to visit the Text Prison.
The Text Prison was located at the deepest part of Ghost God Academy, also in the rear mountain.
The whole underground of the rear mountain was excavated to incarcerate people from myriad clans.
Reportedly, at its peak, it housed tens of thousands, now only a few hundred remain.
Xu Zimei understood that the Thousand Calamities Doomsday must have also seen the characters transformed from the Talisman Seals, attempting to find similar characters among the myriad clans.
But Xu Zimei felt this was incorrect.
He saw more clearly than the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.
These characters definitely didn’t belong to the Nine Domains World.
……
But regardless, Xu Zimei was prepared to take a look.
Came to the rear mountain, the entrance here was sealed, a seal personally set by the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.
Without the Thousand Calamities Doomsday’s permission, not even the Nine Mountain Ghosts could freely enter or exit.
Xu Zimei stood at the doorway, eyeing the seal, lowered his palm, forcibly suppressing the seal.
At the entrance, there was a crystal door weighing several tons.
Xu Zimei stepped across the seal, placed his hands on the crystal door, and pushed hard, the several-ton door fell directly to the ground.
The environment inside was very dark.
The moment the door was pushed open, various roars came from within.
Inside were rows of prison cells.
Each cell independently held a member of a clan.
Including the Flame Clan, Frost Clan, Giants, Immortal Race, Demon Race…
These races tortured over a long time, now already hopeless about life.
Some were numb, others had committed suicide.
When seeing Xu Zimei, some very violent races continually struck against the crystal door, trying to attack Xu Zimei.
Every cell door was made of crystal.
This crystal was a very special material, unless one had extraordinary strength, it couldn’t open.
The crystal door had no key, entirely reliant on formidable strength to forcibly open.
Xu Zimei didn’t bother with the prison cells on either side, instead walked down the middle road.
After walking several hundred meters, Xu Zimei saw ahead a table and a bookshelf.
The bookshelf was densely packed with records.
It detailed the languages of myriad clans.
Estimated to be recorded by the Thousand Calamities Doomsday, what truly attracted Xu Zimei was still the notebook placed on the table.
