59: Chapter 59, Fifth Prison: I've been punished; I've actually been controlled by someone else.

You look around in confusion as a group of old men surround you.

They are looking at you with burning eyes.

Wait, no, why are you bunch of old men looking at me with such burning eyes???

Especially that old man on the second floor looking down at you; his gaze is the most intense.

It looks like he is the leader of this group.

Your Divine Sense probes over in an instant.

Blocked?

Your Divine Sense vanishes the moment it touches that old man on the second floor.

You narrow your eyes involuntarily; either the other party used a special method, or their cultivation is higher than yours.

Lorne waves the magic staff in his hand, and the book above your head instantly closes its pages and flies to the side of that old man.

Peak Martial Saint!

Although you cannot directly probe the other party with your Divine Sense, the moment they use Qi... you don't actually know if what they are using is Qi; you feel it isn't, but let's just call it that for now.

The moment they use Qi, you sense their cultivation: Peak Martial Saint.

You breathe a sigh of relief; at least to you, there is no threat.

"Respected Hero!" Lorne flies in front of you. "Oh, the Goddess's guidance has brought you to our Falun Kingdom. You will eventually become the sun, dispelling the darkness of the Demon Race and saving our Falun Kingdom!"

You didn't understand a word the old man said; as for what Hero or what kingdom, you didn't pay much attention.

The only thing you cared about was that the moment this old man flew down from the second floor, he used magic power to lift himself up.

Generally, this is a common flying technique used by Innate Martial Artists. Of course, there are also Innate Martial Artists who place Qi on their weapons and then stand on them to perform so-called weapon-flight.

The most common form is sword-flight.

However, once they reach the Martial Saint level, they won't do this anymore. Martial Saint powerhouses can rely on their own Physical Body to fly and no longer need Qi assistance.

And just now, this old man clearly used something like Qi to fly.

You observed this.

You guess that this old man's Physical Body probably doesn't even have the strength of an Innate Martial Artist.

What kind of Cultivation system is this?

You feel very strange; does the other party not strengthen their own Physical Body with Qi while they Cultivate?

"Hero, please follow me; all your questions will be answered," Lorne says.

Over the next day, under the guidance of this old man, you gained a preliminary understanding of this world's worldview.

As for why you know the other party's language, you can't explain it clearly, but you cannot read the script.

You learned that this planet is called the Purple-Yellow Star.

It is different from your planet; it is not divided into seven continents, but is composed of one huge Central Continent and over a hundred scattered continents distributed around it.

The area of the Central Continent accounts for ninety percent of the total land area of the planet.

From south to north, the Central Continent is divided and called the Southern Continent, the Central Continent, and the Northern Continent.

And the place you are currently in is a kingdom located in the Northern Continent, near the Central Continent: the Falun Kingdom.

You seem to have been taken as a Hero by the higher-ups of the Falun Kingdom.

As for the reason why they summoned a Hero, it is also very simple.

The northernmost part of the Northern Continent is controlled by the Demon Race. Among the Demon Race, there is a Devil King. The Devil King led the Demon Race to defeat the human nations on the Northern Continent and has now reached the Falun Kingdom.

The Falun Kingdom is about to be destroyed.

The nations of the Central Continent mostly listen to an organization called the Mage Association. The Mage Association mobilized basically all the nations on the Central Continent to form a defensive line to resist the Demon Race.

And it just so happens that this defensive line is behind the Falun Kingdom, which means the Demon Race army must first destroy the Falun Kingdom before they can touch this defensive line formed by the nations of the Central Continent.

This should be intentional, after all, the relationship between the nations of the Northern Continent and the Mage Association has never been very good.

"Hero, please have a good rest. Tomorrow, His Majesty the King will summon you."

The old man in front of you says this to you. You know his name is Lorne, and he is the Chief Mage of the Falun Kingdom.

This world's Cultivation system is very strange. These mages Cultivate magic power, but even though they have magic power at the Martial Saint level, their Physical Body strength is still the same as an ordinary person's.

For a Martial Artist, if you Cultivate to the Martial Saint level, you could stand there and let an ordinary person hit you for a lifetime, and it would be impossible to take any substantial damage.

But these mages are different; as long as they are approached, even an ordinary person with no cultivation holding a small knife could kill this Martial Saint-level mage.

"Fine!" You look at Lorne and sneer.

Lorne ignores you, just closes the door, and leaves.

The rules of this world are very strange. Taking Lorne as an example, he is a mage with Martial Saint cultivation; although his Physical Body is trash, his magic power is real. However, he has no way to launch magic attacks against humans.

According to their explanation: "This is the Goddess's blessing!"

All magic attacks disappear the moment they touch a human.

You look at the magic circle on the door.

You are imprisoned; it is indeed so, there is a magic circle on your neck.

Hearing Lorne say this is the Goddess's magic circle.

You don't know what this Goddess thing is, but because of the existence of this magic circle, you are to some extent restrained by that old guy Lorne.

Because of this magic circle, you also have no way to use Qi to attack humans.

You actually tried to attack Lorne with Qi, but the Qi vanished the moment it touched that old guy, and your Martial Arts Myth-level Physical Body strength turned into Mortal strength when attacking.

Although it was Mortal strength, you still managed to punch that old guy until his face was covered in a nosebleed, but you were quickly pulled away by a group of knights. You, a Martial Arts Myth, actually got pulled away by a group of Mortal knights.

Truly, a tiger caught in the shallows is bullied by dogs.

But fortunately, this Goddess isn't too disgusting; when defending, you can still display your Martial Arts Myth cultivation.

At least for now, no matter what you do, they cannot kill you.

After all, a mage's cultivation is mainly reflected in their magic power, and since you are also a human, mage attacks disappear the moment they touch you.

As for letting those knights kill you, you express that with your Martial Arts Myth-level Physical Body strength, you could stand here and let every knight in the kingdom hack at you for three days and three nights; if you lose even a layer of skin, you lose.

"What a strange world." You touch the magic circle on your neck. That old guy Lorne used a gem to control you; you judge that as long as you crush that gem, you should be able to dispel this magic circle.

"Sigh." You let out a sigh and wolf down the food Lorne sent.

Two pieces of bread, a bowl of thick soup, and a large piece of meat with bone; to be honest, the taste is average.

You look up at the starry sky and feel a bit of longing for your loved ones.

The next day.

The door is opened, and that old guy Lorne looks at you with squinted eyes.

Although Lorne's tone is very respectful, you can see the disdain in his eyes.

"Hero, His Majesty the King requests your presence!"
