Chapter 355: Ye Jian

In the nameless star system, at the nameless outpost, within the Tianyang star field.

Abandoned Prison Star is a planet devoid of any spiritual energy.

The people here are all criminals sent by the cultivation world.

Abandoned Prison Star, Kun Yuan Country, Li Hua Village.

“Grandma, are there really immortals outside?”

A curious three-year-old girl clung to the leg of an elderly woman with white hair.

The elderly woman’s name is Ye Jian. Hundreds of years ago, her family, the Ye family, offended a late stage Great Ascension powerhouse, which nearly resulted in the family’s extermination.

In the end, a mid-stage Great Ascension powerhouse spared the lives of the remaining few members of the Ye family due to a favor owed.

However, these few remaining members of the Ye family were sent to this planet without any spiritual energy, named Abandoned Prison, which prevented the late stage Great Ascension powerhouse from completely wiping them out.

At that time, Ye Jian was just one of the remaining members who had reached the Golden Core stage.

Over the centuries, the Ye family passed down their lineage on Abandoned Prison Star, and Ye Jian has now reached the status of a grandmother.

Most of the other Ye family members who arrived at Abandoned Prison with Ye Jian have already reached the end of their lifespans, but Ye Jian, having arrived at the Golden Core stage, has hundreds of years left to live.

However, she is now also nearing the end of her life; with her early Golden Core stage cultivation level, she has at most another decade or so before her life ends.

As for the hatred towards the Ye family, none of the Ye members who came to Abandoned Prison ever mentioned it to their descendants, as their enemies were simply too powerful.

Additionally, on this life planet without any spiritual energy, their descendants cannot cultivate at all, so mentioning it would be useless.

Even the spirit stones brought from the outside would quickly lose their spiritual energy after a while on Abandoned Prison.

Cultivators who come to Abandoned Prison will gradually lose their true essence and ultimately become ordinary people.

Leaving Abandoned Prison is nearly impossible for the inhabitants.

No one tests spirit roots on Abandoned Prison, and no powerful cultivators come to recruit disciples.

Hearing her great-great-granddaughter’s question about whether there are immortals outside, Ye Jian thought for a moment and replied, “Outside, there may or may not be immortals. Grandma doesn’t really know!”

Ye Jian knows the truth; she is a cultivator herself.

However, in a place like Abandoned Prison, she cannot allow her children to have any hopes of cultivation, as unfulfilled love is too cruel.

“Grandma, you don’t know either? I heard my uncle say there are immortals outside!” the little girl replied in a sweet voice.

“Your uncle…?”

Ye Jian was about to say that her uncle knew nothing when suddenly, a piece of information appeared in her mind.

“Eh?”

As she carefully sensed the information, Ye Jian’s expression quickly changed.

Surprise, disbelief, excitement…

A variety of emotions swiftly crossed Ye Jian’s face.

“This, this, this…”

Ye Jian found it hard to believe.

Just moments ago, a space suddenly appeared in her sea of souls.

This space is a circular area ten meters in diameter, and inside, there is an object resembling jade slips.

As soon as her divine sense touched the jade slips, a message emerged in her mind.

From this message, she learned that the space that had just appeared in her sea of souls is called the system space.

Moreover, she discovered the purpose of this space.

In addition to being used for storage, it can also facilitate communication and trading with some individuals.

As soon as the space took shape, Ye Jian felt her divine sense being pulled into an ethereal page.

On this ethereal page, many people were exchanging soul messages.

Ye Jian’s divine sense scanned some soul message streams, and she instantly understood their meanings.

Soul messages are more intuitive than language and text, allowing beings of different races to communicate.

When Ye Jian saw this ethereal page, she noticed countless soul messages passing before her.

【Ping Sang: Where is this?】

【Jun Zhe: Can anyone see my message?】

【Chu Liya: Does anyone know what is happening?】

【My sea of souls suddenly had a space appear, and what is this group interface, can anyone explain what this is?】

…

Countless streams of information flowed before Ye Jian. She only needed to sense with her divine sense to understand everything almost instantly.

From everyone’s chat messages, Ye Jian discovered that everyone here, like her, had suddenly awakened the system space and ended up in this so-called "close-knit family group."

"Eh?"

At that moment, Ye Jian suddenly noticed that there were over five hundred thousand members in this close-knit family group.

As she focused her divine sense on the number of members, a large block of text suddenly appeared before her.

Although she didn’t recognize the text, her divine sense swept over it, and she could understand its meanings.

She found that the group had a group owner named Li Xiaojun, whose cultivation level was in the Golden Immortal Realm.

There were also several group administrators, with the most powerful one, Yan Qingling, at the mid Celestial Immortal stage.

Other administrators had cultivation levels down to those at the late human immortal barrier.

It displayed everyone’s cultivation levels, but Ye Jian didn’t know if this was something new.

"I wonder if my name is here?" Ye Jian thought to herself.

In the next moment, her name appeared among the group members.

Ye Jian, female, 586 years old, early Golden Core stage…

Seeing her information shocked Ye Jian, as everything was correct.

If all the information in this group is accurate, then could there really be immortals among them?

Next, Ye Jian began to check others’ information.

She discovered that the members’ information was organized by their cultivation levels.

In this group, there were already thousands of people who had become immortals.

In addition, the group contained many Tribulation stage great emperors and numerous powerhouses below the great emperor realm.

Ye Jian sadly realized that among all the members, she had the lowest cultivation level.

She was at the early Golden Core stage, while the person just above her was at the late-stage Nascent Soul.

"So what is this?"

After that, Ye Jian continued to observe and explore this so-called group silently.

Not long after, she gained a lot of useful information from others’ details.

First, this is a large group where over fifty thousand people can communicate.

In addition, everyone can establish their own small groups and invite others to join.

Also, this group allows members to add friends; as long as both agree, they can chat privately.

What excited Ye Jian the most was that this system space also allowed trading, but each person only has ten trading opportunities per year.

“If I could get some spirit stones from here, that would be great,” Ye Jian thought.

At that moment, an administrator named Liu Hongxia sent a message in the group.

【Liu Hongxia: Buying trading opportunities, one opportunity for one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones, or ten thousand superior grade spirit stones. If you want to sell, please contact me…】

Seeing this message made Ye Jian’s heart race uncontrollably.

Without hesitation, she sent a trading request to this person named Liu Hongxia…
