In the pitch-dark dungeon, the solemn quietness was accentuated by the deep breathing sounds.
This silence had persisted for a long time.
Until, a disheartened sigh completely shattered it.
Cultivators trapped in individual cells all looked up simultaneously toward where the sound originated.
"Hao Ranzi, my friend, how goes it?"
"Can you lift the prohibition?"
There were voices, but even more were those who looked on eagerly.
Facing these inquiries, Hao Ranzi gave a bitter smile, "Impossible, the Golden Core within me is completely silent; I can't mobilize any Qi Power."
"You are the most profound in cultivation among us, just a step away from Golden Core Great Finalization. If even you can't break the prohibition, then we are mere fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others," stated the Moon God Envoy from the Star Moon Temple.
