Chapter 750: 689 Chapter: Nice to See You Again
Everything within the Heavenly Prison, although it felt different because of Zhang San’s arrival,
ultimately, it was just that small cell, and everyone was rely idling away, waiting for death.
Many people had long since despaired over these continuously bleak days within the Heavenly Prison.
It was only the arrival of Zhang San that allowed them to see so unusual changes.
But that was all.
As for Zhang San himself, he was very clear about how much ti had passed.
Since he entered the Heavenly Prison, if he counted the ti, it had already been eleven and a half months.
He had no idea what the situation was like on the outside.
Of course, if Zhang San really wanted to know what was happening outside, he could have Baili Niezhen and the others send back outside intelligence to him.
But there was no need.
Because even if he knew, he would not be able to interfere with the outside affairs, and it might distract him as he would know so things that he couldn’t help with.
It would be better to take advantage of this ti to study with his Third Senior Brother, to truly learn about Rune Arrays Formations.
Third Senior Brother’s capability in Rune Array Formation was truly strong.
Even during this nearly one-year period, Zhang San initially built his own Rune Array system based on Third Senior Brother’s knowledge. Later on, together with Third Senior Brother, they developed a combat system suited to the Rune school.
Unfortunately, since both of them were in the Heavenly Prison, they could only theorize and understand, to so extent, what the overall effect of this combat thod would be.
After all, without the refinent and corrections of actual combat, the Combat thod wouldn’t be considered complete.
This morning, Zhang San just had a new idea; if he could condense Rune Arrays in his pupils, wouldn’t he be able to directly activate certain abilities through his eyes to catch others unawares?
So, Zhang San began to condense Rune Arrays in the palm of his hand.
The Rune Array combat system that Zhang San and his Third Senior Brother studied was nad by them as the Triple Combat Talisman.
The first layer involved turning Qi into Gang, because Qi is fluid and easy to utilize, but also easily dissipates. The core idea behind the Triple Combat Talisman is that it doesn’t require any Runes for power, relying solely on Qi. Thus, it’s necessary to transform Qi into the tough Qi Gang suited for one’s use.
The second layer involved turning Gang into Talismans, using Qi Gang to condense into various Runes. Due to the toughness of the Qi Gang, these Runes won’t easily vanish once they appear.
The third layer involved turning Talismans into Formations, using Runes to directly condense Formation around the body. And because of the flexibility of the Qi Gang, one can form Formations of various sizes.
Under the effect of the Triple Combat Talisman, one can rapidly form an amazingly defensive armor around oneself with Rune Arrays, or create weapons with extrely strong offensive power.
One could even form bracers that receive an enormous boost in strength.
As long as the constructed Rune Array is precise and powerful enough, the effects can continuously escalate.
With such enhancent, even a Rune Master with little combat ability could deliver a strike with the topmost power of his current Realm.
Now, Zhang San was exploring new possibilities.
But just at that mont, footsteps ca from the direction of the Heavenly Prison’s entrance.
Many people looked towards the entrance where the footsteps were coming from.
After a year, the people in the prison had even beco able to distinguish which of the four maidservants was approaching Zhang San’s cell by the sound of their footsteps.
Therefore, at this mont, everyone at the bottom level of the Heavenly Prison knew that the person approaching was not one of Zhang San’s maidservants.
It wasn’t even the Holy Monarch.
Then, under the light of two torches at the entrance, a person dressed like a general in armor stepped forward and walked in.
“Zhang San, Kaihuang summons you. Pack up your things and co with .”
Cao Deng had thought that a year’s ti would be a trendous tornt for a favored son of heaven like Zhang San.
In particular, the mont he turned the corner and saw the miserable state of the old man opposite Zhang San’s cell, he imagined how much…
Hmm!? What’s with this rosewood desk and the oil lamp on it, as well as the pile of books?
And why is one of your maids still inside massaging your back?
There’s even a wine jug beside you; I can sll it!
This scene, how is it not right!
But at this mont, echoing through everyone’s mind on the bottom floor of the Heavenly Prison was just the last sentence Cao Deng had just uttered, “Pack your things and co with .”
This man, did he truly just leave from the bottom layer of the Heavenly Prison?
Zhang San took out a set of keys from his person and then from inside the cell, he unlocked his own cell door.
Cao Deng tried to turn his head away, so as not to see this scene and to prevent his emotions from being affected.
After Zhang San ca out, a maidservant beside him used a Storage Ring to collect all of Zhang San’s belongings.
After all, Zhang San was supposed to hand over his Storage Ring, but the maidservants, now serving as prison guards, were allowed to use Storage Rings.
Zhang San bowed with hands clasped together in salute to all the cells at the bottom layer of the Heavenly Prison, especially toward the location of his third senior brother at the very back.
“This past year, I, Zhang San, am grateful for everyone’s care. I dare not forget your kindness. Should there co a day when I find the opportunity, I will surely figure out a way to get everyone out of the Heavenly Prison. Of course, I also hope that when that ti cos, everyone would stand on the sa side as .”
As Zhang San spoke, he bowed deeply.
At that mont, everyone on the bottom layer of the Heavenly Prison stood up.
After all, Zhang San had provided them with a year’s worth of food and drink.
Everyone was in the Heavenly Prison, and almost all of them were certain they would never get out in this lifeti.
Such an association was far from worthless; soone who could leave without looking down on you and still becoming acquainted with you demonstrated a breadth of spirit and generosity.
Therefore, everyone also stood up, bowed with hands clasped in salute to Zhang San, bowing deeply.
Afterward, Zhang San followed Cao Deng and left the bottom layer of the Heavenly Prison.
Just before leaving, Zhang San suddenly asked, “Right, does Kaihuang plan to see imdiately or should I go ho first and wait for a notice before seeing him?”
“He will see you right away. Once we leave the Heavenly Prison, I’ll take you to him,” Cao Deng replied.
Zhang San nodded in understanding, then said, “Wait a mont.”
With that, Zhang San took out a set of tattered clothes from his Gluttonous Bag and changed into them. He then made his hair look ssier.
Cao Deng was stunned.
“Zhang San, what are you doing now?”
“After all, I have been in prison for a year; I should look miserable, right? Otherwise, Kaihuang would be disappointed to see ,” Zhang San explained.
After leaving, soone brought a horse over to Zhang San.
Zhang San instructed the maidservants by his side to leave two people behind to continue serving as prison guards in the Heavenly Prison and to keep bringing food and drink to the cellmates on the bottom layer.
Then, Zhang San mounted the horse and followed Cao Deng straight towards the city outskirts.
“Is Kaihuang outside the city?”
“After the death of Empress Dugu, Kaihuang chose the place where they had first t—it has extrely beautiful scenery. Kaihuang has built a mausoleum there for Empress Dugu. This ti, he plans to go and pay his respects,” Cao Deng replied.
Soon, the two of them caught up with the royal procession heading towards the southwest, near Kaihuang’s carriage at the center.
The ministers riding nearby, upon seeing Zhang San’s return, all had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
Especially Minister of Rites Jiang Huaiyuan, although the investigation concerning Zhang San had initially co to nothing, that was only because Zhang San had been imprisoned.
And now Zhang San had co back.
The others were sowhat resigned, simply marveling at how fortunate this young man was to have survived.
But Jiang Huaiyuan was truly starting to sweat profusely.
This guy actually ca back!
Even the Holy Monarch’s third disciple, who was involved back then, still visited the Heavenly Prison; this junior disciple, clearly young, was so tough to deal with!
When Kaihuang heard that Zhang San had arrived, he lifted the carriage curtain and glanced out at Zhang San.
Seeing Zhang San’s ragged clothing, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Zhang San has co. Get on the carriage and join Us,” Kaihuang said.
“As you command.”
Zhang San, having said that, dismounted from the horse, jumped onto the carriage, then turned back to look at the Crown Prince, who was sending him off from behind, and gave a slight smile.
And the Crown Prince, watching Zhang San who had been imprisoned in the deepest level of the Heavenly Prison and yet could still return, also smiled.
