Hundreds of steles were in front of him, and all of them had the same prison engraved on them.
“Boiling Water Prison, what kind of place is it?” Li Qingshan pondered.
“I wonder if Yuhua Sect has any records of this?” Li Qingshan looked at the Library of Yuhua Sect.
The next moment, he arrived at the Library. He spread out his Divine Consciousness and instantly transformed into 100,000 Li Qingshans. They shuttled through the Library and flipped through the books to find information about the Boiling Water Prison.
He had learned that Divine Sense skill in the past ten years.
Multitasking!
Because his Divine Sense was boundless, it could be expanded to 100,000 uses at once.
100,000 Li Qingshans searched the Library for two hours but found nothing. Li Qingshan had no choice but to withdraw his Divine Sense and return to the Repentance Cliff before the Stele Forest.
“I’ve searched through the Library of Yuhua Sect, but there’s no record of the Boiling Water Prison. Could it have been erased by someone?” Li Qingshan was suspicious.
“But why would the records of the Boiling Water Prison be erased?”
“In this world, other than the mastermind who erased some things 3,000 years ago, no one else has that ability.”
“Therefore, the Boiling Water Prison is related to the mastermind whose primordial spirit was slashed by the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar. That’s why he erased it.”
“Yuhua Sect was the number one sect 3,000 years ago. Even if it has deteriorated, there will still be some records.” “But there isn’t one here.”
“I can only find the answer from these steles.”
Li Qingshan pondered. His thoughts and logic collided, and he found some clues.
“I’m going to comprehend all these hundreds of steles to see if there’s any useful information inside.” Li Qingshan began to comprehend them seriously.
Day and night, he spent all his time in the Stele Forest to comprehend.
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Empty-handed Kleptomaniac!]
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Three Thousand Rushing Thunder!]
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Flawed Perfection!]
Li Qingshan carefully comprehended the skills one by one and then hung them in his Root Bone Forest.
All the skills he had comprehended in the past ten years were hanging on Li Qingshan’s root bones like fruits.
Every root bone had a fruit hanging on it.
That was also the embodiment of Li Qingshan’s power.
Although he had comprehended so many skills, Li Qingshan did not see any information about the Boiling Water Prison.
He did not give up and continued to comprehend. He did not believe there wasn’t a single skill related to the Boiling Water Prison among the hundreds of steles.
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended the Asura Purgatory!]
Three days later, a line of words appeared before Li Qingshan.
His spirit jolted, not because of the skill, but because he saw a Stele World in that stele.
Li Qingshan didn’t immediately comprehend the Stele World. Instead, he started to study the Asura Purgatory.
“This Asura Purgatory is a punishment in the Boiling Water Prison. Later, it was comprehended by someone and became his own skill, which was then passed down.”
“This skill can imprison people and torture them, dealing a double blow to their bodies and minds. That’s very terrifying.”
“And this is just one of the punishments in the Boiling Water Prison. How terrifying is the complete Boiling Water Prison?” Li Qingshan guessed.
He looked at the stone stele in front of him solemnly, and then, with a boom, he entered the Stele World.
His world spun, and worlds appeared one after another. They were only a square inch in size, the size of mesons. Finally, the scene stopped at a chaotic fog area. The huge black city walls were solemn, and no one dared to enter.
There were a few words written on the city wall.
Boiling Water Prison!
Li Qingshan was shocked. The Boiling Water Prison was located outside the world, in the Chaos, like a Chaos Beast. That was far beyond his imagination.
The Boiling Water Prison disappeared in the next second, and the world rolled again. The scene changed too quickly, and Li Qingshan could not keep up. Fortunately, the scene stopped on a battlefield.
The sun was setting in the west, and the remnant sun was as red as blood.
The dim sunlight shone down, mixed with a touch of shocking crimson, like the blood flowing from the corpses of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield.
It was desolate and enchanting.
Corpses littered the mountains. There were humans, monsters, and different races…
Li Qingshan looked around and was shocked.
In the distance, corpses piled up into a small mountain. A man was covered in blood. His long hair was dyed red and danced in the wind. He looked into the distance and said softly, “The Human World is finally quiet.”
Li Qingshan looked at him. That man had his back to him, and his aura was as heavy as a mountain.
“Using the fugitives from the Boiling Water Prison to force the Human World experts to unite and fight with them, both sides suffered a crushing defeat and heavy casualties. Then, I used a grand formation to suppress the Human World Great Path. In the future, no cultivator in the Human World will be able to split mountains and seas with a single sword slash.”
“Next, I just need to block the breach of the Boiling Water Prison with 99 formations and arrange for a sect to guard it. I will rule this world in the future. I can peacefully assimilate the Great World Path and become the Lord of this world!”
That person looked at the setting sun and muttered to himself.
Li Qingshan was shocked when he heard that.
The person before him was the mastermind behind the war 3,000 years ago.
In the next moment, the man turned around, and Li Qingshan saw his bloody face.
Li Qingshan saw a faint smile on his face. He was very proud.
His plan had succeeded.
Kacha!
The scene in the Stele World came to an abrupt stop. It shattered layer by layer, forcing Li Qingshan’s consciousness out and returning to his body. “What I saw just now was the great battle 3,000 years ago.”
“That person was the mastermind. He’s also the expert with half of his primordial spirit slashed by the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar.” “I understand everything now.”
“He used the breach in the Boiling Water Prison to release the heinous criminals. That led to the unity of the experts in the Human World.”
The areas that Li Qingshan had been puzzled about in the past were all answered.
Why were the experts of the Human World united?
The Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, the Monster Clan and the Human Race, the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall, the land and the sea. Those forces had been in conflict since ancient times.
Yet, they united to fight against an enemy 3,000 years ago?
Previously, Li Qingshan could not figure it out.
Now, he understood everything.
“The Boiling Water Prison is located outside this world, in the Chaos. It’s very huge, and those imprisoned must be extremely vicious criminals.”
“The mastermind happened to discover a breach in the Boiling Water Prison in this world. Then, he meticulously devised a trap and tricked everyone.”
“Taking advantage of the heavy casualties on both sides, he used an ancient formation to suppress the Great Path, imprisoning the Spiritual Qi, which resulted in the situation in the past 3,000 years.”
“That is really a good method.”
“Fortunately, there was the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar. He was lucky enough to have survived and discovered all of that. He burned himself and gave the mastermind a sword slash, fighting for a chance of survival for this world.”
“As for the breach in the Boiling Water Prison, it’s within the 99 formations.”
Li Qingshan’s gaze was sharp as he looked out of the Repentance Cliff until 45,000 kilometers away.
The Heavenly Path Sect!
Their 99 mountains were the 99 formations!
