Ever since five thousand years ago, the Great Zhou Divine Emperor, whom the world believed had remained secluded within Shenjing and never emerged, had in fact ventured out an unknown number of times without outsiders ever knowing.
His targets were unfamiliar Myriad Transformations Realm cultivators from the outside world,
as well as Myriad Transformations Realm cultivators who were solitary by nature, had little contact with the outside world, or claimed to have entered Death Seclusion!
Every time, he had acted with extreme caution.
Over these five thousand years, he had secretly captured nearly more than thirty Myriad Transformations Dao Venerables and imprisoned them on the ninth level of the Black Prison Heavenly Prison, yet the outside world had not noticed the slightest thing!
When Zhang Qingyuan learned this from the survivors, he could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
Good heavens!
Across all of Qingzhou, even including those from the government offices, there were probably only around a hundred Myriad Transformations Realm cultivators.
Yet the number secretly captured and imprisoned in the Black Prison Heavenly Prison by that Great Zhou Divine Emperor amounted to one-third of all the surviving cultivators in Qingzhou's Cultivation World!
How could anyone not be shaken by this?!
Moreover, according to Dao Venerable Xuan Su and the others,
once imprisoned within the Black Prison Heavenly Prison, all of their magic power would be devoured by that strange prison. They had to endlessly condense more magic power just to maintain their lives amid its ceaseless devouring!
That Heavenly Prison was like a living thing, raising them in captivity!
"What exactly is that Great Zhou Divine Emperor trying to achieve by doing this?"
Even as Zhang Qingyuan raged at the fates of Dao Venerable Xuan Su and Old Ancestor Dan Yang, a question also rose within
