"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang came to a realization.
He had always been curious as to why Lord Wu had stayed in the Red Cloud World for such a long time. So this was the reason.
"Little brat, before you leave, there is one more thing," Lord Wu suddenly said.
Jian Wushuang and Leng Rushuang could not help but look at Lord Wu.
"Master was very powerful when he was alive. He had opened up a huge Divine Kingdom and occupied a vast territory. He had countless people under his command. In such a huge Divine Kingdom, there was no lack of vicious and evil people. In master's Divine Kingdom, there were many evil people. For their own benefits, they would do anything to stir up trouble in the Divine Kingdom."
"Once these evil people were discovered, many of them were killed directly. However, there were also many who were imprisoned. The place where these evil people were imprisoned was called the Eternal Prison of Darkness."
"The Eternal Prison of Darkness has existed for many years. Not long after master opened up his Divine Kingdom, the Eternal Prison of Darkness had always existed. When the Divine Kingdom was still around, there would often be people imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness. In the future, unless there was an incredible performance in the Eternal Prison of Darkness that could attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Red Cloud faction, these prisoners were destined to be imprisoned there for the rest of their lives."
"Over the years, the number of prisoners imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness has long been uncountable."
Jian Wushuang was very puzzled when he heard this.
He did not understand why Lord Wu was suddenly telling him all this.
"The Eternal Prison of Darkness has a total of six levels. The prisoners were imprisoned on different levels according to their strength. Everything was going according to plan. However, after that battle, master fell, the Red Cloud faction was destroyed, and the Divine Kingdom collapsed. Although the Eternal Prison of Darkness was not destroyed directly, its foundation was damaged in that battle. Its power was greatly reduced. Most importantly, there was a flaw in the spirit design of the Eternal Prison of Darkness!"
"Of course, this loophole only exists on the first level and is extremely well hidden. Under normal circumstances, the prisoners imprisoned on the first level of the Eternal Prison of Darkness would not be able to find this loophole and escape from the Eternal Prison of Darkness using this loophole."
"However … Five hundred years ago, I sensed through the Red Cloud Realm that someone had used a flaw in the Eternal Prison of Darkness to create a crack in the first level of the Eternal Prison of Darkness. Even though the Eternal Prison of Darkness' array quickly repaired the crack, during this time, prisoners had escaped from the Eternal Prison of Darkness."
"What?" Jian Wushuang was shocked. "Someone escaped? 500 years ago? "
He did not understand why Lord Wu would suddenly tell him this, but now he understood.
The prisoners imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness had all committed heinous crimes. Although they were not evil by nature, they were certainly not good people. Furthermore, to be imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness by the Red Cloud Lineage, they must be extremely powerful. How could such a prisoner escape?
"How many escaped?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"The Red Cloud Realm and the Eternal Prison of Darkness have a great connection. Now that I am in control of the Red Cloud Realm, I could barely sense the prisoners that escaped from the Eternal Prison of Darkness 500 years ago. There was only one, and it was only on the first level." Lord Wu said.
"Only one? That's better. "Jian Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief.
If dozens or even hundreds of prisoners were to escape from the Eternal Prison of Darkness at once, the entire star field would be in for a disaster.
"Although only one prisoner escaped, don't underestimate it." However, Lord Wu said seriously, "The purpose of the Eternal Prison of Darkness isn't just to imprison prisoners. Instead, it's to pick out some top experts from these prisoners to work for the Red Cloud faction. Therefore, those who are imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness are Rulers at the very least. As for the strongest, there are even Sovereigns."
"What? There are Supremes imprisoned in the Eternal Prison of Darkness? "Jian Wushuang was shocked.
"Yes, there are Supremes imprisoned in the sixth level of the Eternal Prison of Darkness, and there are more than one." Lord Wu smiled. "Of course, although the foundation of the Eternal Prison of Darkness was damaged in the previous battle, its power is still there. Unless the Supremes make a big breakthrough and reach the level of Master when he was alive, they may be able to escape from the Eternal Prison of Darkness. However, the environment in the Eternal Prison of Darkness is very harsh. Under such harsh conditions, it is almost impossible to reach the level of Master when he was at his peak."
"This time, the prisoner that escaped from the Eternal Prison of Darkness was the first level of the Eternal Prison of Darkness. Among the six levels of the Eternal Prison of Darkness, the prisoners on the first level are the weakest. Most of them are either First or Second Stage Sovereigns. However, the Eternal Prison of Darkness has not had any new prisoners for many years. The killing inside is also very intense. To be able to survive such a long period of killing, one must be very powerful."
"I estimate that the prisoner that escaped this time was at least a Sovereign at the peak of Second Stage. He might even have broken through to Third Stage." Lord Wu said.
"At least a Sovereign at the peak of Second Stage. Maybe even Third Stage?" Jian Wushuang's face darkened.
Ever since he understood a bit of the Cosmic Order, his power had increased tremendously. He did not need to worry about a normal Second Stage Sovereign. However, a Sovereign at the peak of Second Stage, or even Third Stage, would pose a great deal of pressure to him.
"Husband, you don't have to worry too much. After all, not all of the prisoners in the Eternal Prison of Darkness are crazy people. Who knows, maybe the prisoner that escaped this time was one of those who did not kill indiscriminately? Furthermore, this Star Field is at the edge of the Universe. Normally, Second Stage Sovereigns would choose to leave this place and explore other parts of the Universe. If this prisoner is so powerful, he would not stay in this Star Field for too long. "Leng Rushuang said.
"Mm, that's true." Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
"I only told you this to give you a heads up. Also, Jian Wushuang, haven't you always wanted to increase your power, but it's hard to find a worthy opponent in this Star Field? Then you have a worthy opponent now. "Lord Wu smiled.
"Worthy opponent? That prisoner? "Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes.
"Of course not just him. There are countless prisoners in the Eternal Prison of Darkness." Lord Wu said.
Jian Wushuang was stunned. Then, he looked at Lord Wu in shock.
"Lord Wu, are you asking me to explore the Eternal Prison of Darkness?"
"Why, are you scared?" Lord Wu looked at Jian Wushuang with interest.
