Nine Heavenly Stairs, A Mysterious Cave Inside Restricted Area!

Time was drifting like a fleeting cloud; another month had passed since Li Changsheng killed the Black Fox.

There was no other movement made by Li Tianji, but he believed that he wouldn't give up trying to eliminate him that easily.

Considering Li Tianji's cautious personality, the next time he sent an assassin for him, he might directly send someone in the Dimension Sundering realm to deal with him.

However, it also meant that Li Tianji wouldn't be able to disturb him for at least a month or two months. It was enough for him to increase his realm by leaps and bounds.

In fact, in just one month, he successfully broke through the Pulse Opening realm and reached the Spirit Gathering realm.

Counting from the first day he entered the Eternal Dungeon, only in three months was he promoted by two major realms from the first level of Body Refining into the Spirit Gathering realm.

With this kind of cultivation speed, Li Changsheng could put all the so-called prodigies in the Eastern Desolate to shame.

Although he was currently still in the Spirit Gathering realm, he would catch up with or even surpass them and claim the first spot as the most brilliant prodigy in the Eastern Desolate.

However, Li Changsheng didn't seem to be satisfied with his progress, regardless of how people thought of his current achievements.

"It seems that I've already hit the bottleneck. No matter how much I burned my lifespan, my profound meridian was stuck at top grade. Should I really wait after 10,000 years of my lifespan to see another significant improvement?"

Standing on the side, the three men didn't even change their expression. They were already used to the belligerent, anger-inducing remarks that occasionally came out of Li Changsheng's mouth.

They were just staying there idly, waiting for Li Changsheng to give them an order or ask them something, as the only way to keep them alive was by sticking closely to him.

Now, even if Li Changsheng didn't want them or shoo them away, they rather lost their face, insisting to keep following Li Changsheng rather than go away and only waiting for their final day to come.

Seeing the three people who had nothing to do, Li Changsheng frowned.

"Don't be idle, you guys. It's better for you to find some other fellow whose lifespan is about to end and report to me. If I'm satisfied, I'll extend your lifespan!"

The eyes of the three people suddenly brightened up upon hearing he would give them another task, but upon hearing the content, their excitement instantly died out.

Song Yuxuang shook his head. "The people who could be imprisoned here are at the very least supreme. When reaching this level, their lifespan is relatively long. Some people can even live for ten thousand years, depending on their cultivation method or bloodline. How can there be so many people whose limit is approaching?"

Li Changsheng had thought about this problem before, but after hearing it coming from other people's mouths, his mood turned slightly sour.

He thought that as long as he could give them a lifespan, he would be able to easily subdue the prisoners and control the Eternal Dungeon. But in reality, it wasn't that simple.

Did he already run out of options to get stronger using his cheat?

Just as he was pondering his situation, Desolate Demon suddenly spoke, rekindling his hope.

"While it's hard to find someone whose life is nearing its end, there are other options you can try. In this Eternal Dungeon, there are many restricted and forbidden areas that even I dare not venture there and explore. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing the words "restricted" and "forbidden" Li Changsheng's black eyes flickered with excitement. If others feared and wished to stay away from the place labeled with those words, Li Changsheng was the exact opposite.

Where there was danger, there was opportunity waiting for them. But what other people considered a danger might not apply to him. So, it would be basically a free meal for him.

"Take me there!" demanded Li Changsheng.

Desolate Demon wasn't offended by Li Changsheng's commanding tone and obediently led the way, with Song Yuxuang and Mo Tiesha following closely from behind.

Their journey took quite a while, and as they traversed the long, winding path, their vision gradually became obstructed by the sudden emergence of fog. The further they advance, the thicker the fog in their surroundings.

If it weren't for them having Desolate Demon as their guide, Li Changsheng felt that they would be easily lost and trapped on this foggy path.

He couldn't help but shudder as he realized once again how treacherous this place could be. He was just lucky enough to be detained in a relatively safer location, if he were settled in this place from the start, even if he had eternal life, he might even try to commit suicide due to despair.

After passing through several layers of fog, they finally arrived at their destination.

The fog had cleared up in this place, so Li Changsheng and his party could look around and carefully observe their surroundings.

Before them lay a vast, empty area that they had never thought would exist below the earth, in an underground dungeon.

At the end of this area, settled a colossal staircase made of huge rocks as its foundation, which looked closer to an artificial structure than a natural one, which made them wonder what kind of being could create something like this.

There were nine steps in total, each of them exuding intense killing intent comparable to or even stronger than that of the Desolate Demon's. Atop the ninth step was a cave hidden in the cloud and mist, a massive rock gate barred its entrance.

Taking the indescribable scene in front of him into sight, Li Changsheng couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes. Even though he was the prince of the Great Desolate Kingdom, he had never heard such a building exist in the Eternal Dungeon.

"What is this place?" Li Changsheng voiced the question in his mind.
