Chapter 56 - 56: Boiling Water Prison
Following Li Qingshan’s sword slash, the cultivators in the Human World were all working hard to improve themselves.
Following the 3,000-mile purple energy triggered by Little Nine, announcing that a Saint had descended into the Human World, many people broke through to the Saint Plane one after another.
In just a month, Saints were everywhere in the Human World.
How many geniuses were born in the world in 3,000 years?
Those geniuses had already reached the Human World Pass Plane in just 100 years. And they could not advance an inch in their remaining days, but they were still alive.
Now that Li Qingshan had broken the formation with his sword slash, the geniuses had stepped into the Saint Plane one by one, extending their lives and returning to their peak.
Therefore, Saints bloomed everywhere.
Among them, the Heavenly Path Sect, the biggest sect in the world, benefited a lot.
Those Patriarchs who had forcefully broken through or were lying in their coffins waiting for death cultivated crazily to cross the Human World Pass and enter the Saint Plane.
The Heavenly Path Sect’s foundation, which had accumulated for 3,000 years, was suddenly revealed.
99 mountains of the Heavenly Path Sect towered over the Central Plains.
In the Patriarchs’ Forbidden Land, there were many graves of geniuses. Those who had once waited for death were now breaking through and climbing out of their coffins.
Hei Shuitian, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Path Sect, was waiting there. He couldn’t hide the joy on his face when he saw the Patriarchs, who only existed in the records, standing up from their graves.
Thump!
Another Patriarch broke through. His aura surged as he opened his coffin and walked out. His expression was a little dull.
“The 40th Patriarch!” Hei Shuitian counted excitedly.
In the past month, the Heavenly Path Sect already had 40 Saints crawling out from the Patriarchs’ Forbidden Land alone.
That was not counting the current generation of Heavenly Path Sect’s Patriarchs.
It was no wonder that the Heavenly Path Sect was so overbearing. They had the confidence to be overbearing.
After the 40th Patriarch climbed out of his grave, his mind was a little stiff. He looked around, and his expression slowly recovered.
He looked at Hei Shuitian and saw that he was wearing the uniform of the Heavenly Path Sect Leader. He asked, “Which generation of Sect Leader are you?”
“Patriarch, I am the 27th generation Sect Leader.” Hei Shuitian replied immediately with a respectful attitude. He was only at the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable Plane and had yet to enter the Human World Pass. With the current dense Spiritual Qi, he was still far from breaking through to the Saint Plane.
“27th generation. I didn’t expect so much time to have passed.” The 40th recovered Patriarch murmured.
“Patriarch, which generation are you from?” Hei Shuitian asked carefully.
“I am from Bai Yulan’s generation.” The Patriarch replied.
Hei Shuitian replied in surprise, “The 2nd generation Sect Leader of the Heavenly Path Sect is called Bai Yulan. And you’re from that era? That would have been at least 2,900 years ago.”
“Senior, what’s your name?” Hei Shuitian asked excitedly. The older a person was, the more experience they had. They would advance by leaps and bounds once they broke through the Human World Pass.
“Bai Yulan!” The 40th Patriarch looked at Hei Shuitian with a playful expression.
Hei Shuitian was stunned. He took a deep breath and quickly knelt down. He shouted, “Greetings, Great Ancestor! I am your descendant!”
Bai Yulan waved his hand, gesturing for Hei Shuitian to stand up. He stretched his rusty limbs and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. He asked, “What’s the situation outside?”
“Don’t worry, Great Ancestor. No one in the world is our match now. The
Heavenly Path Sect is undoubtedly number one.” Hei Shuitian said proudly.
Bai Yulan shook his head. “That’s not what I’m asking. The breach in the Boiling Water Prison has been blocked, right?”
“What is the Boiling Water Prison?” Hei Shuitian was confused.
“Why do people nowadays not even know about the Boiling Water Prison?” Bai Yulan frowned.
Hei Shuitian smiled awkwardly and said, “Great Ancestor, I’ve read a lot of books, at least 5,000 books in the Heavenly Path Sect. But this is my first time hearing of the Boiling Water Prison.”
“Looks like someone erased that past,” Bai Yulan said in surprise.
“Patriarch, what is this Boiling Water Prison?” Hei Shuitian asked curiously.
“You’ll know in the future. Arrange a quiet room for me. I’ve been sealed in a coffin for more than 2,000 years. I need to get to know this world again.” Bai Yulan instructed.
Hei Shuitian immediately made the arrangements.
On the Repentance Cliff, Li Qingshan continued to wipe the steles.
This stele was very old. Vines climbed and wrapped around it. If not for the exposed corner, Li Qingshan would not have noticed it.
Li Qingshan removed the vines and slowly repaired the damaged areas. He cleaned the moss, dust, and stains on them with a meticulous expression.
Li Qingshan stood up after cleaning up the mess and looked at the line of words that appeared in front of him.
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Shadow Evasion Technique!]
Li Qingshan immediately checked the Shadow Evasion Technique. How powerful would it be?
“The Shadow Evasion Technique requires one to comprehend the Great Path of Shadows. When one walks in the shadows, others won’t be able to sense his aura. When one cultivates it to the peak, he will become the Lord of Shadows, controlling the power of shadows to devour his enemies.”
Li Qingshan was surprised to see that the skill was not simple.
Hiding in the shadows, even someone a plane higher than Li Qingshan wouldn’t be able to detect him as long as he didn’t give himself away.
That was a skill very suitable for Five Ghosts.
They had a killing nature to begin with, and they had evolved from the bodies of ghosts, belonging to a special life form. Cultivating that skill would be a great reinforcement.
Li Qingshan was looking at the stele. What was carved on the stele was something he had never seen before.
A prison!
Li Qingshan had been wiping the steles for 15 years.
In the past 15 years, he had seen countless steles, swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, etc. However, he had never seen a stele that depicted a prison.
“Is this prison related to the Shadow Evasion Technique?” Li Qingshan murmured.
Could it be that one would be cultivating the Shadow Evasion Technique in prison?
Li Qingshan shook his head in amusement as he couldn’t comprehend.
However, in the next second, he saw the stele beside it. It was also wrapped in vines and covered in moss.
Li Qingshan hesitated momentarily, then reached out to wipe it clean. As expected, he saw another prison.
It was the same as the stele earlier.
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Boiling Water Prison Activation Method!]
A line of words appeared in front of Li Qingshan.
Boiling Water Prison? What is this place?” Li Qingshan’s expression was serious. He had never heard of that before.
“This Boiling Water Prison Activation Method does not have any offensive properties. It is only targeted at the Boiling Water Prison.” Li Qingshan carefully studied the Boiling Water Prison Activation Method.
“Then are all the steles around related to the Boiling Water Prison too?” Li Qingshan guessed and had some doubts.
If he suspected something, he would make a move.
Li Qingshan decisively wiped the hundreds of steles around him.
This time, he didn’t comprehend them. He carefully cleaned them up and then looked across.
As expected, a prison was carved on each stele.
“Boiling Water Prison…” Li Qingshan chewed on the name with a solemn expression..
