Carrying the food box, Chu Mo kept walking down the tunnel, barely lit by the faint glow of Night Pearls embedded on the walls on both sides.

Meanwhile, heat was constantly being emitted from the heavenly mirror on his chest, reminding Chu Mo that a treasure, no less impressive, was hidden in this place. Chu Mo found it a bit strange, as one would expect the Lingyue Sect, after so many years, to know whether there was a treasure here.

Especially since the spirit energy here was entirely different from other places, he found it hard to believe that they were completely unaware of it.

At this point, Chu Mo remembered something else. The menial workers he had previously heard speaking about the Black Prison had done so in tones that suggested intense fear.

At the time, Chu Mo had assumed that this was merely a prison cell in which all those trapped eventually faced execution. However, he now realized that their fear of the Black Prison was not because of this, but because of the Black Prison itself!

Could it be that this prison hidden within the mountain held some kind of secret?

Pondering over this, Chu Mo continued to venture deeper.

The further he went, the more Chu Mo felt that this prison indeed concealed some mystery!

Even without the prompt from the heavenly mirror, Chu Mo could sense something unusual about this place. After all, he had the extraordinary knowledge of the Fengshui Divine Art.

The passage in this place looked old, with never a hint of dampness, and not a speck of moss on the walls.

At this moment, on Chu Mo's Five-Colored Dao Platform in his elixir field, the area belonging to the essence of the Five Elements Fire suddenly became restless. Simultaneously, Samadhi Real Fire inside the Chaos Furnace hidden within the heavenly mirror, surprisingly relayed a message to Chu Mo through the heavenly mirror.

It wanted something!

Even when the Essence of Five Elements Fire had divided itself to give a part to Chu Mo, Samadhi Real Fire had not reacted at all. Of course, perhaps that was because the Essence of Five Elements was the origin of fire, and Samadhi Real Fire did not dare to react.

But now, it was not just the Samadhi Real Fire expressing a very intense and clear intent. The fire zone in the Five-Colored Dao Platform also started to become restless simultaneously.

What was going on?

Chu Mo pondered as he continued deeper and deeper into the prison.

Even Chu Mo was a little surprised. Although he didn't walk quickly, he definitely wasn't considered slow. From the moment he entered the cave, it had been nearly the time for one incense stick to burn, but he still hadn't reached the end of the Black Prison!

"This must be over ten miles deep, isn't it?" Chu Mo thought, somewhat astonished.

At this point, several prison cells suddenly appeared up ahead.

"Have I arrived?" Chu Mo thought as he looked into these cells.

There were four cells in total, with the front two completely empty, with no one in them.

However, there were, surprisingly, prisoners in the two cells in the back.

Chu Mo immediately identified that neither of these people was Fang Lan!

"There are other people in the Black Prison?" An astonished Chu Mo thought, recalling the menial worker saying that the Black Prison had been unused for many years, which meant these two people had been imprisoned here for many years, hadn't they?

Both men in the two cells had no reactions to Chu Mo's appearance. They did not respond at all, seemingly dead.

If it weren't for the faint vibrations coming from their bodies, Chu Mo would have thought them to be corpses.

Both men were as thin as skeletons; if one didn't look carefully, they'd think that there were two skeletons wrapped in a layer of skin lying there.

Using the heavenly mirror, Chu Mo looked at the two men. When he looked at the first one, he was taken aback!

"A peak Primordial Infant?"

"What? This starved-looking man who is barely alive... he's a peak Primordial Infant powerhouse? How is that possible?"

The Spirit Realm doesn't have anyone beyond the Primordial Infant stage. Once you step into the Spirit Refining realm, you must ascend to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, a peak Primordial Infant in the Spirit Realm is already the top existence in this world.

Surely, even such figures were not without weaknesses, nor were they truly invincible. But it wasn't just anyone who could overpower and suppress them.

Unless... they were ambushed!

To suppress a peak Primordial Infant powerhead on, it would require at least two or three cultivators of the same realm, and that might just be possible. They would also need to prevent the besieged person from self-detonating.

The self-detonation of a Primordial Infant cultivator was no joke, particularly a peak Primordial Infant cultivator. It would essentially destroy a part of Heaven and Earth!

Of course, unless absolutely unavoidable, few would take this path. After all, after detonation, the soul would scatter, completely erasing oneself from existence. But as he looked at the barely-alive, skeletal man in the cell, Chu Mo thought: if they knew they would end up like this, nine out of ten cultivators would choose to detonate and completely end their lives. They might as well take the enemy down with them!

So, after seeing the old man's condition, Chu Mo was deeply shocked and directly guessed that he might have been ambushed.

At this point, Chu Mo looked at the other old man.

Yet another peak Primordial Infant cultivator!

Inside the depths of the Black Prison, there were two peak Primordial Infant cultivators locked up!

Chu Mo's shock, as you might imagine, was profound.

Perhaps because Chu Mo stayed in his place for a bit longer, one of the men suddenly croaked out in a hoarse voice: "Kid... it's your first time coming here?"

Chu Mo nodded, and then considering the man probably couldn't see him, he said, "Yes."

"Are you a disciple of the Lingyue Sect?" The old man asked again.

Chu Mo thought a moment, and then said, "And if I am? What's it to you?"

"Nobody except Lingyue Sect disciples should be able to enter this place... if it weren't for the smell of the food in your box, I wouldn't have bothered with you." The old man said quite a few words in one breath, seeming a bit weary and coughing afterward.

At this moment, a derisive voice came from the cell on the other side: "Xiao Wanjun, you're practically dead and you still want to eat?"

"Li Fangzhong, what's it to you?" The old man retorted with a cold laugh.

"Kid, give me the food from your box, and I'll teach you a divine ability!" Li Fangzhong on the other side said solemnly, his voice betraying a hint of longing for the food.

"Li Fangzhong, do you have no shame? Purporting to know 'divine ability,' if you knew a divine ability, would you have been locked up here?" Xiao Wanjun ridiculed with a cold laugh.

"Hmph! To Spirit Realm cultivators, my skills are indeed divine abilities! What you gonna do, bite me?" Li Fangzhong fired back.

"..." Chu Mo was speechless. He had originally thought that these two peak Primordial Infant cultivators might have been together, how else could they both get locked up here? But it now seemed that these two... they didn't get along.

"Enough, stop arguing. We're two living fossils who've been arguing for a lifetime, and in the end, Feng Buchang benefits. He has locked us up here for hundreds of years, but he himself ascended and enjoyed his life in the Immortal Realm long ago. Why should we fight over a bit of ordinary food... is it worth it?" Xiao Wanjun gasped for breath after speaking so much at once, looking extremely tired.

However, Chu Mo just stood there in shock. He felt like he had infiltrated the Black Prison quietly, and had stumbled upon a shocking secret about the Lingyue Sect!
