Han Sen didn't have a good idea of what to do. If the two armies were fighting, and Phyllostachys Longipes was in danger, Han Sen would fight and help.
But right now, Phyllostachys Longipes was being held captive by Sky Palace, and they weren't fighting the Very High. Han Sen couldn't help even if he wanted to.
"This is going to be difficult. The Very High don't really want Phyllostachys Longipes to join the Very High. They just want him to be used by the Very High for a while. They also want to provide him with a lot of resources. If this were anyone else, they'd be happy to oblige. I don't know why Phyllostachys Longipes doesn't want to go," Thousand Feather Crane said with a sigh.
Han Sen could understand what Phyllostachys Longipes was thinking, but he hadn't seen him in person. He wasn't sure if that was the case.
The next day, Han Sen asked the tenth elder, Yun Changkong, to see Phyllostachys Longipes.
Yun Changkong was the father of Yun Suyi and Yun Suyi. He was also Thousand Feather Crane's teacher. He had a good relationship with Han Sen, so he didn't reject Han Sen's request.
"Can you talk to Phyllostachys Longipes? Going to the Very High won't hurt him," Yun Changkong said to Han Sen.
Han Sen agreed, and Yun Changkong asked someone to take Han Sen to the prison.
Han Sen thought Sky Palace was just putting on a show, but when he entered the prison, things weren't as simple as he thought.
Twelve Suppress Demon Locks pierced Phyllostachys Longipes's body. They locked him up on the Suppress Demon Stone. Seeing Phyllostachys Longipes covered in blood and with his shoulder blades pierced, Han Sen was shocked.
"You've come."
Phyllostachys Longipes was chained to the Demon Suppressing Stone with his limbs spread wide open. Surprisingly, he was still able to laugh, but his expression didn't look too good.
The twelve Suppress Demon Locks had twelve different powers. They were water, fire, thunder, and electricity. They attacked Phyllostachys Longipes's body every day and every night. Even a deified elite couldn't last very long in there.
It wasn't to say that it would take one's life, but that kind of torment day and night was even more terrifying than that.
"Is there a need to be so ruthless?" Han Sen looked at Phyllostachys Longipes and couldn't help but feel resentful.
Phyllostachys Longipes was a student of the leader of Sky Palace. He was a direct descendant of Sky Palace, and yet he was being treated like this. It was quite disappointing.
"You can't blame anyone else. This is my own problem," Phyllostachys Longipes said with a chuckle.
Han Sen opened a bottle of wine he had brought with him. He put it in front of Phyllostachys Longipes and gave him a few sips. After he swallowed, he asked, "Why don't you go to the Very High?"
Phyllostachys Longipes wiped the wine from his lips and said, "Going to the Very High would be very beneficial for me. If I don't go, I might not become deified in ten or twenty years. But if I go to the Very High, I might become deified in three years."
"If you understand that, why don't you go?" Han Sen asked, looking at Phyllostachys Longipes. He knew that Phyllostachys Longipes had his reasons.
Phyllostachys Longipes looked at Han Sen, but he didn't answer Han Sen's question. Instead, he asked, "Do you like to run around naked?"
"Well … I don't think so …" Han Sen didn't know what Phyllostachys Longipes was getting at, so he gave a random answer.
Phyllostachys Longipes laughed and said, "I don't like it, either. So, no matter how much the Very High offer me, or what punishment I have to endure, I won't go to the Very High."
"What do you mean?
Are the Very High a race that likes to run around naked? Do you have to take off your clothes if you want to go to them? "Han Sen imagined Li Keer and Exquisite taking off their clothes, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Of course, Han Sen was just imagining things. He knew that the Very High didn't have such a fetish.
"The Very High's Very High Sense allows you to feel everything.
If you are chosen by them, they can use you as a medium to feel the universe.
They will be able to feel your seven senses.
They will be able to feel whether your food is salty, sweet, sour, or spicy.
They will be able to feel whether you are hot or cold when you are bathing.
They will be able to feel your emotions, your emotions, your likes and dislikes, and even how you feel when you are in bed with a woman … If it was you, would you go?" Phyllostachys Longipes looked at Han Sen as he spoke.
"Cough … Cough … Are the Very High that sick?" Han Sen's eyes opened wide.
"I am just stating the facts. Of course, they might not be interested in what woman you are having sex with, but once they connect with you, unless they remove the connection, their senses will always be there. Even if they don't want to, they will have to accept it," Phyllostachys Longipes said.
"Are you sure this is the case?" Han Sen asked seriously.
Phyllostachys Longipes laughed and said, "If there is a race in the universe that knows the Very High the best, it would be us, the Sky. Although there is no proof, Sky Palace has worked for the Very High for many generations. There is an 80% to 90% chance that this is true."
"If that is the case, then no matter how much you are offered, you shouldn't go," Han Sen said with a nod.
Han Sen picked up the bottle and gave Phyllostachys Longipes a few more sips. Then he asked, "But if you don't go, will the Very High let you go?"
"I don't know," Phyllostachys Longipes said, shaking his head.
Han Sen didn't ask any more questions. He chatted with Phyllostachys Longipes for a while. After he finished the bottle, he left the prison.
As Han Sen walked, he thought to himself, "The Very High could have chosen anyone, but they chose Phyllostachys Longipes. What can I do to help Phyllostachys Longipes?"
As soon as he left the forbidden island, he saw a man sitting on the back of a white crane. The man was smiling at him.
"Uncle Yu!" Han Sen was shocked. He saw that the man was Yu Shan-shin.
Yu Shan-shin had gone to the Dragons to save Han Sen. So, when Han Sen saw Yu Shan-shin, he bowed like a student.
Yu Shan-shin smiled and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, why don't we take a walk?"
"Uncle Yu, are you here for Phyllostachys Longipes?" Han Sen followed. He flew next to Yu Shan-shin.
"No, I'm here for you." Yu Shan-shin's answer surprised Han Sen.
Before Han Sen could speak, Yu Shan-shin went on to say, "Sky Palace has an agreement with the Very High. If the Very High choose someone, someone has to go. If Phyllostachys Longipes doesn't want to go, then we have to find someone to replace Phyllostachys Longipes."
"Uncle Yu, are you talking about me?" Han Sen asked with a wry smile.
"Aside from Phyllostachys Longipes, I'm afraid the only person in this generation who can move the Very High is you," Yu Shan-shin said with a smile.
"I can't, either." Han Sen quickly shook his head. Phyllostachys Longipes didn't like to run around naked, and neither did he.
Yu Shan-shin seemed to have expected Han Sen to react this way. He coldly said, "About the Very High, you must have learned a lot from Phyllostachys Longipes. That's why I chose this time to find you. I don't want to waste time talking to you."
"Uncle Yu, you don't have to try to convince me. I'm the same as Phyllostachys Longipes. I'd rather suffer in prison than go to the Very High." Han Sen shook his head.
