Chapter 994: Black Prison

"You passed the Mirror Garden; to be honest, firstly, it was because Qin Feng's Eye of Truth allowed you to seize the initiative, so you weren't completely ignorant about the garden."

"Secondly, it was thanks to Lin An's photographic memory, which allowed you to accurately find the stragglers."

"Coupled with Qin Feng's judgment, you were able to find the true way out."

"But these are not the most critical points."

"Because the most critical point is that this Mirror Garden was never a life-threatening, dangerous forbidden land."

"And the fundamental reason for your success was not how smart or powerful you are, but that you did not destroy the garden in the first place."

"Otherwise, even if your cultivation had reached the tenth level of Dao Verification, you would not have been able to pass through the Mirror Garden and enter the true ancient ruins."

"But these black buildings are completely different."

"There is murderous intent at every step inside; only those with a firm mind can leave here alive."

"No matter how weak you are, as long as your mind is firm, you can leave alive."

"But no matter how powerful you are, as long as your mind is not firm, you will definitely be trapped in these buildings forever, unable to find release."

"Although I have never been there, I have seen it in intelligence reports."

"In our era, we call it—the Black Prison."

A place that tests only the mind, regardless of cultivation or spiritual power.

For most people, it is an extremely difficult test.

But for some of the weak, it raises their starting point.

Allowing them to stand on the same starting line as other experts can be considered a good thing.

It is just that I don't know to what extent this Black Prison tests the mind.

How are those who are trapped in the Black Prison forever trapped, never to be liberated?

No one dares to absolutely believe that their mind is firm enough not to be affected by external things.

Not even Beigong Yun, who has experienced countless hardships and still remains true to his original intentions.

Nor the Dean of the Mobius Academy, who is single-mindedly devoted to the Mobius Kingdom with a firm goal, can necessarily pat their chest and say so.

"Why does this Black Prison exist? Is it specifically used to imprison people? Or is it specifically used for trials?"

After listening to the Flame King's introduction, such doubts emerged in Qin Feng's heart.

If one were to say this Black Prison is used to imprison people, then as long as one's heart is firm, one can pass the trial and leave this Black Prison.

This imprisonment doesn't seem very reliable.

But if it is specifically used for trials, then the consequences of failing the trial are too severe.

Or perhaps, is this a door? A door used to guard something?

Only those who meet the conditions can pass through this door?

"It is said that there is a huge treasury inside this Black Prison, and there are many desirable heavenly treasures in the treasury."

"Every person who passes the trial can take one item from this treasury."

"However, this is only intelligence existing within the major empires, said by those who have entered this Black Prison."

"Their accounts are consistent, but I haven't been inside, so I cannot absolutely tell you that it is like this."

Logically speaking, since so many people have been inside and obtained treasures, it shouldn't be wrong.

But this place is too strange.

It is as if someone specifically built a treasury and invited people with firm minds from all over the world to enter and take one treasure.

But who would be so selfless as to put so many treasures here and give them away for free?

This is something the Flame King has never understood.

"It is indeed a bit strange."

Qin Feng naturally heard the subtext in the Flame King's words.

Not just Qin Feng, Beigong Yun and Lin An naturally understood as well.

If everyone's account is consistent, this place is either truly someone being charitable to the world, or there is a major problem.

"Also, how long has it been since the first wave of people exploring the west side of the town left the town gate?"

As he spoke, Qin Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked Beigong Yun.

This left him feeling somewhat bewildered for a moment.

But soon, he and Lin An realized why Qin Feng would ask this.

"More than an hour, right?"

That is to say, if those who chose to explore the west side entered these black buildings.

Then, they have been in this Black Prison for at least an hour or so.

But until now, they haven't seen a single person come out.

And the practitioners who rushed into the west side of the town with them have already been inside for more than ten minutes.

Until now, there is still no movement.

"If it doesn't take a very long time to clear the level, then after they obtain the treasures, they will pass through other passages to enter other places."

Qin Feng didn't think these people had been wiped out inside.

"Then what should we do? Should we wait a bit longer, or... go in?"

Waiting has its reasons, and going in also has its reasons.

Lin An looked at the pitch-black buildings, feeling very oppressed, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously.

It wasn't because Lin An was timid.

It was because the higher a person's spiritual talent, the stronger their sensing of this Black Prison.

And the heavier the oppression received from this Black Prison. ===== CHAPTER 996 =====
