Chapter 1011 Prisoner's Mark
While Zhong Qing was thinking, he also raised his head and looked at the sky outside the palace.
At this distance, he could clearly see that in the milky white sky, there were two suns hanging in the east and west.
Yes, there were indeed two.
One of them was the sun they saw when they just walked out of the Nine Heavens, hanging in the corner of the western sky, and it seemed a little inconspicuous at this time.
The other one was actually not the sun, but the black hole where the Nine Heavens were located and they walked out.
It was just because the halo around was too bright, standing on this prisoner star, it looked like a huge and amazing sun that occupied half of the sky, but was a little dim.
If you didn't know where you were, this scene would be called a spectacle.
But it was also thanks to the people of the Xuqi Immortal District that they thought of putting the prisoner star here.
This is indeed a natural cage.
The planet next to the black hole is numbing to think about.
Even if there is no ban, it is almost impossible for anyone to escape from here.
It is even more unimaginable that the Nine Heavens, the fairyland where they came from, is actually inside the black hole?
Zhong Qing still can't figure out how the Nine Heavens exist in this black hole of Xuyuan.
The Ten Thousand Races at that time were really brave enough to escape to the black hole. No one would believe it if they told others.
No wonder they needed the protection of the Nine Heavens Supreme Immortal Artifact. Otherwise, let alone whether they could stop the invasion of the enemy, it would be a problem to survive in the black hole.
And what was the catastrophe that could force the Ten Thousand Races of the Immortal Dao, who had such unimaginable means, to hide in the black hole?
"Brother, what are you daydreaming about?"
Ao Jiutian's voice pulled Zhong Qing back from his thoughts, and he realized that he had been thinking too far.
He came back to his senses and saw that Ao Jiutian and Feng Qingxian were both full of wisdom, and they were almost cross-eyed.
Obviously, Xie Pengfei's words made them confused.
This is not surprising. They have been in the Nine Heavens since they were born. They don’t know what the real starry sky outside looks like, so naturally they don’t understand these concepts.
While Xie Pengfei was explaining, he was confused.
How come this immortal in front of him doesn’t even understand some common sense that three-year-old children know?
Besides, how can someone who knows nothing cross the dead and dark void and find this place?
He saw Zhong Qing just looking up at the black hole of Xuyuan in the sky.
After a while of confusion, he suddenly froze as if he thought of something.
Could it be...
Before he could continue thinking, Zhong Qing asked again.
"The scope of Xuqi Immortal Area is not small. What is the situation now? What ethnic forces are there? What strong people are there? What about outside Xuqi Immortal Area? Are there other immortal areas?"
"This..." Xie Pengfei came back to his senses and immediately looked embarrassed.
"The starry sky is so big that there is naturally more than one Xuqi Immortal Area, but I grew up in this Xuyuan Tian Area and have never left here. I have only heard about things outside."
"With my status... I really don't know what you are asking, Immortal."
Zhong Qing didn't expect to get everything out of this little steward. He just smiled faintly when he heard it: "In that case, just tell me what you know, such as what does the mortal star mean?"
Xie Pengfei explained some more.
In the Xuqi Immortal Area, there are a large number of lives living, and the big stars with rich spiritual energy are called life stars.
The ones without people or with extremely rare lives and thin spiritual energy are desolate stars.
Furthermore, those full of dead air, without even a little spiritual energy, floating in the dark starry sky for various reasons are called dark stars.
And the life stars are divided into different levels.
The ones where most mortal races live are called mortal stars, which occupy the majority of the life stars.
A very small number of large stars with extremely rich spiritual energy and spiritual sources are called immortal stars.
Most of the beings above the immortal level gather on them, as if they are independent immortal worlds, and the name of immortal stars is derived from this.
Most of the prisoner stars in the Xuyuan area only hold prisoners from the mortal world, and there are almost no immortals.
At this point, Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "You said before that you grew up in the Xuyuan area since you were a child. Are you also a prisoner?"
Xie Pengfei smiled bitterly, turned his head, and showed Zhong Qing a strange silver mark on the back of his neck.
"Sir, I am not a prisoner, but I am a prisoner."
"This is the mark of a prisoner."
"My grandfather was exiled here, and I am the third generation. All those who were exiled here or born here are prisoners."
"We bleed the blood of sinners and are born with the mark of prisoners."
"But fortunately, unlike the exiled prisoners, we have no guilt. As long as we work hard to accumulate merits, we will have the opportunity to remove the prisoner mark and leave this place."
At this point, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face: "Originally, I climbed to this position and served the prison master for thousands of years. As long as I accumulate merits for another 800 years, I can be free... I am afraid there is no such opportunity now."
At this point, he shuddered all over and waved his hand, saying: "Of course, I have no intention of blaming you, Sir."
"In short, on the entire Prisoner Star, whether it is prisoners or prison guards, most of them are prisoners. Only a few high-level ones... um, those who were just killed by the three sirs were sent from the outside fairyland."
Zhong Qing looked at the prisoner mark and squinted his eyes. For some reason, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
He asked, "Is there anything special about this prisoner mark besides indicating the identity?"
Xie Pengfei sighed and said, "Since it is a prisoner mark, it is naturally used to imprison people here."
"Since you came from outside, you must know that time passes countless times slower in this Xuyuan area than in the outside world."
"This is all because of the mysterious power of the Xuyuan."
"Only the power of the True Immortal can break away from the power of the Xuyuan and not be affected by it."
Zhong Qing nodded silently. What is the power of the Xuyuan? In fact, it is the gravity of the black hole that distorts time.
And the existence of the True Immortal level, according to what he heard from Hong Yuchen, Yu Weichen and others before, has condensed the origin rules and has jumped out of the rules of heaven and earth to a certain extent, so its own time will not be distorted by the gravity of the black hole.
"And this prisoner mark is actually the mark of the immortal, which can make the prisoner's body unaffected by the power of the Void Abyss."
Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Xie Pengfei smiled bitterly and said, "Normally, it is, but here, being unaffected is not a good thing."
"The prisoner mark only affects the body, not the spiritual will, which is equivalent to slowing down the consciousness but not the body. Once entering the void, one's own lifespan and strength will pass away at a speed many times faster than the outside world."
"Even if it is a great emperor, whose lifespan is hundreds of thousands of years, entering the Void Abyss with the prisoner mark, it won't take long for him to run out of strength and lifespan and die."
"And the prisoner star itself has been refined by immortals and is not affected by the power of the Void Abyss."
"In other words, if you carry the prisoner mark, you can only live on the prisoner star for the rest of your life and can never get away!"
