At the Life and Death Platform.
This was not the first time Duan Lingtian had heard of this place.
Before he entered the Thousand Chains Prison, he knew there was a place in the Thousand Chains Prison where he could comprehend the law of death. Later on, he learned the place was called the Life and Death Platform.
Now that the old man mentioned it again, he began to yearn for the Life and Death Platform.
"The prodigious disciples who applied to become wardens of the Thousand Chains Prison didn't do it for the Celestial Crystals. They were more interested in the opportunity to comprehend the law of death on the Life and Death Platform," the old man said.
The old man said, "Every warden can enter the Life and Death Platform for a year to comprehend the Law of Death after a year of duty."
If you want to enter the Life and Death Platform to comprehend the law of death, you'll have to stay on duty for another year.
"Of course, you can also choose to be on duty for many years at a time and then climb the Life or Death Platform for many years … This is because the time you can climb the Life or Death Platform is linked to the time you are on duty. You can climb the Life or Death Platform for as long as you are on duty.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile, "Of course, you don't have to do this. You can enter the Life and Death Platform whenever you want because of Warden Xu.
Moreover, you can enter the Life and Death Platform as long as you want. "
A hint of envy could be seen in the old man's eyes when he finished speaking.
Although he did not specialize in the Law of Death and rarely went to the Life or Death Platform, it was not easy for him to ascend the Life or Death Platform even if he had comprehended the Law of Death. He also needed to contribute to the Thousand Chains Prison.
"This is because the Hall Master of the Life and Death Pavilion is Warden Xu. The elders in the Life and Death Pavilion are also Warden Xu's subordinates. Warden Xu has long ordered that any junior brothers and sisters who want to enter the Life and Death Platform are free to do so without any restrictions.
In the Heavenly Pool Palace, I'm afraid only Lord Xu Lang's subordinates are allowed to enter the Life and Death Pavilion. "
The old man continued to speak.
"Not only is Eldest Senior Sister the Warden of the Thousand Chains Prison, but she's also the Hall Master of the Life and Death Pavilion?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly realized that his understanding of the Eldest Senior Sister was only the tip of the iceberg. What he knew now was something he didn't know in the past.
"How many wardens are there in the Thousand Chains Prison?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously as he followed behind the old man.
"There are three wardens in the Thousand Chains Prison. They are in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, the Life and Death Hall, and the Purgatory Hall."
The old man said.
"Purgatory Palace?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled. He now knew what the Internal Affairs Hall and the Life and Death Hall were. The Internal Affairs Hall was where the internal affairs of the Thousand Chains Prison were handled, while the Life and Death Hall was where the prisoners were executed and stored.
"The Purgatory Hall is also known as the Punishment Hall. Its function is to punish those who are imprisoned. Naturally, it's not a death sentence. If it's a death sentence, the prisoners will be sent to the Life and Death Hall. "
The old man paused for a moment before he looked at Duan Lingtian and reminded him, "Duan Lingtian, the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall has a good relationship with Head Warden Xu. However, the Hall Master of the Purgatory Hall doesn't have a good relationship with Head Warden Xu. If you encounter him, try to avoid him so that he won't make things difficult for you.
After all, Head Warden Xu isn't here right now. If Head Warden Xu is here, he'll restrain himself. "
The old man's expression turned slightly solemn when he spoke.
"How strong is he?"
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently as he narrowed his eyes.
"He's close to a titled Celestial Emperor."
The old man replied.
"Close to a titled Celestial Emperor?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. How could such a person dare to oppose his Eldest Senior Sister?
"Elder Xie, do you know how strong my Eldest Senior Sister is?"
Duan Lingtian asked instinctively.
"She seems to be close to a titled Celestial Emperor as well?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian realized that the people in the Thousand Chains Prison did not seem to know the true strength of his Eldest Senior Sister.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt it was normal.
As her junior brothers and sisters, it was only natural for them to know her strength better than anyone else.
"Elder Xie, the Hall Master of the Purgatory Palace you're talking about is the Head Warden of the Thousand Chains Prison. If he takes the initiative to make things difficult for me and I don't want to dodge, I should be able to retaliate if he attacks, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as his eyes glinted.
"Hm?"
The old man did not expect Duan Lingtian to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment before he looked at Duan Lingtian in confusion. "Duan Lingtian, are you confident you can defeat the Hall Master of the Thousand Chains Prison?
After all, his strength is close to a titled Celestial Emperor … In the Heavenly Pool Palace, I've never heard of anyone who's weaker than a titled Celestial Emperor being able to defeat him. At most, they're evenly matched with him. "
The old man said.
"I'm just asking."
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
"If he attacks you, you can naturally retaliate. However, the moment you retaliate, he will punish you with the crime of insubordination … Although he won't kill you, he can capture you and bring you to the Purgatory Palace to punish you."
The old man shook his head.
"What if he's not a match for me?"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed even further, narrowing into slits as he continued asking.
"Up until now, there hasn't been such a situation in the Thousand Chains Prison. However, if he's not a match for you, he won't dare to provoke you. As long as you don't kill him, the Heavenly Pool Palace won't punish you, "the old man said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"That's good."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Elder Xie, let's go to the Thousand Chains Prison now."
To Duan Lingtian, the Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Hall and the Life or Death Platform were not as important as the prison.
Why did he and Huan 'er join the Heavenly Pool Palace?
It was all to save Huan 'er's parents.
Currently, he was certain Huan 'er's father was imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison. However, he was not certain about her mother's whereabouts.
Although Huan 'er had her mother's Soul Pearl, her mother did not have Huan' er's Soul Pearl. Therefore, no matter how hard she tried to contact her mother, her mother would not be able to respond to her.
Naturally, that was if her mother could receive her message.
"Elder Xie, can we use Soul Pearls to communicate in and out of the Thousand Chains Prison?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Of course not."
The old man shook his head. "There's a Formation in the Thousand Chains Prison that restricts Soul Pearls from transmitting messages. Let alone the Thousand Chains Prison, even the Thousand Chains Prison restricts Soul Pearls from transmitting messages.
"This is also done to prevent the people imprisoned in the prison from communicating with the people outside and even plotting to escape."
Huan 'er nodded.
"Huan 'er, it seems like your mother didn't receive your Voice Transmission earlier."
Duan Lingtian sent a Voice Transmission to Huan 'er after listening to the old man's words.
Previously, when he, Huan 'er, and the Zhuge siblings from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had returned to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, Huan' er had obtained her mother's Soul Pearl from the Zhang Clan's Clan Leader.
He knew Huan 'er would often use the Soul Pearl to send messages to her mother even if her mother could not respond.
"Of course, that's only if your mother is imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Thank you, elder."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the old man before he asked, "I heard from one of my senior brothers that there's a person imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven's Heavenly Sword Mountain. He said he broke off his engagement with the Heavenly Pool Palace? "
"Are you talking about the prodigy from the Heavenly Sword Mountain? It's a pity he's gone. "
The old man shook his head and said, "That prodigy could've become a son-in-law of the Heavenly Pool Palace. Unfortunately, it's said that he had a mistress and broke off his engagement with the Heavenly Pool Palace.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Sword Mountain was tactful enough to send him here. At that time, the Palace Master was prepared to go to the Heavenly Sword Mountain to demand an explanation. "
The old man said.
"Is he still imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"That's right."
The old man nodded. "If you're interested in him, I'll bring you to meet him when we enter the Thousand Chains Prison. As expected of a prodigy from the Heavenly Sword Mountain. After cultivating diligently in the Thousand Chains Prison, his cultivation base is close to that of a titled Celestial Emperor.
Previously, when the Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion challenged him to a duel, he was not at a disadvantage at all. "
The old man sighed.
"Good! I'm curious as to what kind of person would refuse to marry the Palace Master's daughter. "
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up. Huan 'er's eyes were filled with excitement as well. She was finally going to meet her biological father.
"Thank you, elder."
Duan Lingtian asked again, "Do you know what kind of woman caused the prodigy from the Heavenly Sword Mountain to refuse the Palace Master's daughter?"
"Yes. That woman is imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison as well. "
The old man nodded. "That woman isn't human. She's a Celestial Beast … I think she's a Phantom Fox.
"In order to punish them, the Palace Master ordered them to look at each other through the prison, but they were not allowed to meet … Moreover, every once in a while, they would torture the woman once in a while, so that the prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Mountain would suffer psychological torture."
"That woman is usually in a comatose state and rarely wakes up. After all, once she wakes up, she'll be tortured again. "
The old man sighed. "Speaking of which, she's a woman with a hard life. She didn't do anything wrong. However, she has to suffer because she fell in love with a man she shouldn't have. "
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian's expression changed slightly. Huan 'er trembled involuntarily as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hm?"
The old man was taken aback by Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er's reaction. However, he did not suspect anything. He looked at Huan' er and said with a smile, "It seems like you're a sentimental person as well. However, that woman is really pitiful."
