Chapter 317: The Giant Prison

"Brother, it's all ready!" Inside the Cloud Realm, Ruoxi said to Lingyun with a smile on her face.

"So fast?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow. One had to know that Ruoxi had always been extremely picky; the fact that she had found a suitable world from the vast River of Time and Space in just a few days of Kung Fu made him somewhat suspicious.

"Hehe, that's because of some reasons!" Ruoxi stuck her tongue out at Lingyun. "Besides, in this, there was also a part of your help, Brother!"

"A part of my help?" Lingyun asked with some confusion in his tone, "What does that mean?"

"As for that, you'll know when the time comes, Brother!" Ruoxi teased Lingyun a little.

"Forget it if you won't say; I'll know sooner or later anyway," Lingyun said. "Then let's set off."

Above the River of Time and Space, the Void twisted, and Lingyun's figure appeared upon the River of Time and Space. Lingyun's body was covered in a thin layer of World Power. With the cover of this power, those bored World Consciousnesses would be unable to find him within a short period of time.

"Hmm? Ruoxi, why do I feel like there are quite a few fewer worlds in this frozen region?" Lingyun looked at the massive cluster of worlds before him and couldn't help but frown.

"With so many worlds, naturally, we can't rely on you alone to solve it, Brother. It must be that people from the Traveler Alliance have taken action." Ruoxi's figure appeared beside Lingyun.

"Traveler Alliance? Since when did such an organization appear in this world?" Lingyun asked with a puzzled look.

"Brother, you still remember the time when the Reincarnation Space was destroyed by the joint efforts of many World Consciousnesses, right?" Ruoxi said.

"How could I not remember? I was the one who delivered the final blow to that Big Egg!" Lingyun curled his lips, recalling the scene where he was tricked by a certain World Consciousness. "But to be honest, if it hadn't been for it courting death back then by challenging those few bored World Consciousnesses, it might have been able to grow into an existence of the same level as them. After all, that guy was an aggregate of World Creation Power."

"After the Reincarnation Space collapsed, the reincarnators within the space were also scattered into the River of Time and Space. Among these reincarnators, there were always some who thought themselves extraordinary and acted as they pleased, causing no small amount of trouble for various worlds, and thus they were besieged and killed by many World Guardians," Ruoxi said. "Later, the six strongest among the reincarnators stood up and held a negotiation with the top-tier World Consciousnesses. No one knows the process of the negotiation, but after it, these six people established the Traveler Alliance to manage the reincarnators and travelers of various worlds."

"Uh, what does this have to do with the current situation?" Lingyun asked with a curious look.

"In a sense, travelers are also people; they need to live, and living inevitably involves the need for various supplies. Within the Traveler Alliance, there is a giant stone wall jointly refined by World Consciousnesses. Many World Consciousnesses can issue missions in the Traveler Alliance through this stone wall. Travelers can obtain corresponding rewards by executing these missions," Ruoxi explained.

"Hmm? Then how do you know about this?" Lingyun asked with some curiosity.

"Every World Consciousness automatically connects to this stone wall after awakening," Ruoxi said.

"You mean the World Consciousnesses solved the power of the Underworld King of the end within them by issuing missions to travelers?" Lingyun asked.

"That's right, but these are all B-Grade or higher missions. Those without sufficient strength and tools to restrain the Underworld Power are not allowed to accept such missions," Ruoxi said. "With the people of the Traveler Alliance around, most of these worlds don't need to worry."

"That works too. So, where is the world you mentioned?" Lingyun asked.

"Right here!" Ruoxi took a small Light Ball out from her bosom. "Oh right, Brother, take this thing with you."

Looking at the blood-red light in Ruoxi's hand, Lingyun couldn't help but frown slightly: "Isn't this the thing you extracted from Naishi's residual power?"

"Yes, it's best to use this power when going to that world. Besides, you can complete it, Brother. After my reinforcement, it has huge potential!"

"So it's asking me to complete the bloodline within this. But why didn't you do it yourself?" Lingyun toyed with the blood-colored light in his hand and asked with some curiosity.

"Completing the power of a bloodline is not such an easy thing. Only an existence like you, Brother, can easily do such a thing!" Ruoxi curled her lips and said.

"Is that so?" Lingyun muttered, then crushed the Space-Time Coordinate in his hand. His figure instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared above the River of Time and Space.

With a "hum," a ripple of space suddenly surged in a pitch-black and gloomy area. A man's figure slowly appeared from the Void.

"What kind of place is this?" Lingyun looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but frown.

Lingyun was currently in an ancient-looking passage, with torches on both sides of the passage. However, in the current situation, it only served to further highlight the gloom and terror of this place.

Lingyun moved his mind, and his Divine Sense instantly swept out. Before long, a giant door appeared in the reflection of his mind. However, various patterns were carved onto this door, and the patterns revealed a powerful aura, locking the entire door tight.

Under the detection of his Divine Sense, Lingyun quickly had a rough impression of the place he was in. This place should be a huge prison, and in the various areas partitioned off, one powerful figure after another existed. And the place where he was now was roughly one-fifth of the way from the center of the prison.

"This place looks somewhat familiar. Moreover, this prison also gives me a familiar feeling. But I don't remember ever building a prison like this myself!" Lingyun muttered to himself while walking toward the center of the prison.

In that place, there was an extremely obscure fluctuation of power, and judging from its location, it should be something like the hub of this prison.

The further he walked toward the center, the more powerful Lingyun felt those imprisoned people were. Some of them even made him feel threatened, indicating that these people's strength was likely not below his own. However, none of these people were good; Lingyun could feel deep malice and massive karmic debt from them. If these guys here were let out, he didn't know what kind of chaos it would cause.

"I wonder who it was that actually built such a powerful prison to imprison these experts. But I find it strange: since they could build such a powerful prison, why not just kill all these guys directly? Doing things once and for all is the best approach, right? Or is it that the person who set up this prison did so for some unknown purpose, preparing for some ulterior motives of their own in the future?"

Walking in the empty passage, Lingyun couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. After all, he hadn't seen such things before, and he had even seen things done more ruthlessly than this.

Just as Lingyun was brainstorming, he had already arrived in front of the central hall of this prison.
