Chapter 1111: Prison Reversal of the Immortal Alliance

Chapter 1121

The Immortal Alliance Overturned in Prison

"Perhaps, they could even be converted into followers of the Benevolent True Immortal!"

Observing the countless prisoners around him, screaming in agony under the array's torment, Kou Hong felt a profound empathy and mused thoughtfully.

“However, this is a strictly guarded prison. Achieving this would require careful long-term planning.”

Kou Hong’s eyes flickered. He once again used the same angry shouts to conceal his thoughts.

This time, however, he deliberately made his shouts intermittent and weak.

He appeared to be on the verge of giving up.

For a period, Kou Hong’s outwardly complete submission diverted the guards' attention from him.

Meanwhile, he diligently studied the intricate details of array formations every day, secretly accumulating strength to enhance his power.

He had now realized something.

The mysterious warm current, a gift from the Benevolent True Immortal, which had appeared in his body, was in fact the cultivation base that cultivators yearned for.

Ordinarily, cultivators would accumulate this through arduous practice day and night, forming the driving force for advancing their realms. Yet now, it was flowing endlessly into his body, like an inexhaustible spring.

Consequently, his strength was rapidly increasing at an unimaginable and terrifying pace.

In just half a month, he had already broken through to the Peak Golden Core realm.

This further solidified Kou Hong's belief that the various incredible miracles happening to him were undoubtedly blessings from the Benevolent True Immortal!

One should know that it had taken him over two hundred years to cultivate from a mortal to the Mid-stage Golden Core realm!

Now, breaking through a realm was but an instant.

Originally, Kou Hong believed that the Peak Golden Core realm was his limit. However, what happened next completely shattered his understanding, revealing to him the true power of an Immortal!

It is well known that to break through from the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm, one must assimilate a Cave Heaven from the Profound Yellow World.

As Kou Hong was still in the Dark Prison, he naturally could not fulfill this condition.

However, three days later, something astonishing occurred that left Kou Hong aghast.

As he circulated his spiritual energy and examined his body, he discovered that a faint, illusory image of a Cave Heaven had appeared in his dantian!

Upon closer inspection, Kou Hong confirmed that this illusory Cave Heaven was not a hallucination.

It was genuinely real!

A Cave Heaven was forming within his own body!

He had no doubt that this was yet another blessing from the Benevolent True Immortal.

Kou Hong quickly accepted this fact. A month later, leveraging this nascent Cave Heaven, he officially broke through to the Nascent Soul realm!

The various anomalies caused by his breakthrough were perfectly concealed by the surge of True Immortal power within him.

The guards of the Dark Prison remained unaware.

Kou Hong gazed at his hands, as if in a dream.

The Nascent Soul realm, a stage he had only dared to dream of, had been achieved with such ease.

“Oh, Supreme Benevolent True Immortal, I, Kou Hong, am undeserving of such profound favor.”

“I vow to fulfill your entrustment, even if it means facing myriad deaths.”

From the shadows, Kou Hong looked at the countless towering structures of the Dark Prison around him, his gaze steadily firming.

Even after reaching the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm, Kou Hong’s power continued to grow automatically every day. However, his primary focus had shifted to breaking the arrays and rescuing the prisoners in the Dark Prison.

“Doing this alone would be quite difficult,”

“but where can I find allies within this prison?”

Kou Hong quietly observed his "neighbors," seeking suitable collaborators.

Thus, an unknown period passed.

One day, Li Fan saw the message from Kou Hong and couldn't help but smile faintly.

He merely pretended not to see it and gave no response.

Kou Hong, not giving up, tried a few more times, but eventually had no choice but to reluctantly give up.

“Was my judgment wrong?”

“It shouldn't be.”

Just as Kou Hong found himself in a predicament, a newly arrived prisoner immediately caught his attention.

This person was not a member of the Myriad Realms Alliance; they had been imprisoned for violating Immortal Alliance laws.

Given the crime he committed, it was unlikely he would ever leave this place.

“You vermin always think you can just die and cancel out your sins,”

“but it’s not that easy!”

“I’ll make sure you can’t even beg for death, rotting and despairing in this sunless Dark Prison for the rest of your life!” the Immortal Alliance cultivator responsible for his escort said through gritted teeth.

The prisoner, however, remained silent. Only the disdain and murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at his captor were palpable.

However, under the suppression of the brutal array, these feelings soon turned into cries of agony.

Under extreme suffering, a person’s subconscious utterances are always closest to their true innermost thoughts.

After listening to the new neighbor's words for several days, Kou Hong confirmed that he was indeed a potential collaborator.

One day, after waiting until the man was on the verge of death from torture, Kou Hong quietly permeated the array and transmitted a message.

The other party instantly opened his eyes, trying to pinpoint Kou Hong's location.

It was clearly futile.

After an exchange between the two, Kou Hong learned his name.

Zhang Fu.

His crime wasn't particularly severe; he had simply embezzled one-third of the annual profits of the Pill Hall in Moling Province.

In the past, even if such a matter came to light, one could simply spend some contribution points or pull some strings to mitigate the disaster, and it would pass.

However, unfortunately for him this time, one of his sworn enemies somehow also became aware of the matter.

They reported it directly to the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

The Myriad Immortal Alliance headquarters reacted with unusual swiftness this time.

Before Zhang Fu could even try to pull strings, an envoy from the headquarters arrived. After a brief investigation, the evidence was conclusive, and he was immediately apprehended on the spot.

He was not even subjected to the usual re-examination procedures; he was directly brought to the Dark Prison and suppressed.

Only then did Zhang Fu realize he had likely been set up.

He had initially believed he was doomed forever, but never expected to encounter a turning point.

“Help release criminals from the Dark Prison?”

“That’s a capital offense. Although everyone can reincarnate now, I heard before I came in that the Myriad Immortal Alliance seems to have reached an agreement with the Revered Heavenly Sovereign of Rebirth. Those who commit unforgivable sins within the Immortal Alliance will lose their chance at reincarnation and truly perish!”

“Like those members of the Myriad Realms Alliance from before; it seems to be the case for all of them.”

Unaware of Kou Hong’s body trembling violently nearby, Zhang Fu continued, self-absorbed, “Though imprisoned here, with no chance of ever leaving, it’s still better than truly perishing.”

“Who knows? Perhaps one day, the Myriad Immortal Alliance will issue a grand amnesty.”

Initially, Zhang Fu did not agree. In fact, he secretly entertained the idea of reporting this schemer and earning merit to atone for his sins.

However, what the other party said next made him change his mind.

“Here, even death is a liberation.”

“If you don’t believe me, just look at the people around you.”
