Chapter 1611: Chapter 1611: The Highest Point of Black Prison Peak
"Keep searching carefully."
Ye Feng turned over the ruins, looking for traces here, feeling that there was something very wrong with this castle.
Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor and Hu Feifei were also helping.
However, once the ruins were cleared, everything inside had long disappeared, and the traces on the walls had been deliberately erased, which was suspicious.
"Could this be the castle where the escaped Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor once lived?"
Ye Feng thought of this point.
He quickly took out the black compass for time reversal, soon discovering a series of images.
In the image.
There was an eerie figure, wearing a cloak, whose true appearance couldn’t be seen; it was just vaguely evident that this was a short-statured cultivator.
It was hard to tell if it was male or female.
This person lived in the castle, continuously carving various array patterns on the walls, seemingly deducing something.
Until one day.
This mysterious person blew up the castle, evading the pursuit of the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar, disappearing without a trace.
From then, the image ended.
"It must be this person."
Ye Feng was excited.
He felt that this mysterious person was most likely the Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor who initially escaped from the Black Prison. According to the Spirit Heavenly Immortal’s hint, the person should be hiding in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor said: "The person in the image acted covertly and deliberately erased traces of their existence, making it difficult to track."
"What should we do then?" Hu Feifei asked.
"I don’t know." Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor shook his head, "The person’s techniques are very strong, beyond my comparison; after deliberately erasing the traces, I can’t track them."
"Then we should ask other Recluse Immortal Emperors about the situation of this castle; they might know something, or if not, we’ll climb to the top of Black Prison Peak."
Ye Feng looked up.
He saw that the top of Black Prison Peak was tens of thousands to millions of miles from the ground, with restrictions on the surface, not everyone could climb to the top.
"Let’s go, to ask other Immortal Emperors."
The three continued on their way.
A secluded castle.
An Eighty-eight layered Immortal Emperor lived here, not a prisoner, but a relic who voluntarily came here to avoid the world, accompanied by hundreds of apprentices.
"I am Linglong Immortal Emperor, hiding here since the sixth Origin Era. Back then, I was only an Eighty-one layered Immortal Emperor. After so many years of hard cultivation, I barely broke through to Eighty-eight layered Immortal Emperor. I don’t know if I’ll have the chance in this lifetime to ascend to the legendary Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor."
The elder spoke slowly.
He wore a golden robe, exuded an ethereal demeanor, sitting crossed-legged on a hovering cushion, holding a horsetail whisk, and conversing cheerfully with Ye Feng’s group.
"This is a box of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves."
Ye Feng, skilled at winning hearts, took out a wooden box containing a hundred tea leaves, placing it on the table.
"It’s Enlightenment Tea Leaves!" Linglong Immortal Emperor gasped, "Ye Feng, I’ll definitely tell everything without reservation."
"Do you know who the original owner of this castle was?"
Ye Feng displayed the image.
Linglong Immortal Emperor saw the broken castle and the cloaked person within, his pupils contracted, and said: "That was a prisoner detained in the last Origin Era; upon entering, he was already a Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor, reportedly having slaughtered a great clan outside, then got suppressed."
Ye Feng asked further: "Do you know anything else?"
"This person’s whereabouts are eerie; all past visitors received a cold shoulder. He hid in the castle, occasionally going out to move bricks, but always wore a cloak that isolated divine sense scouting and gloves, concealing his true appearance."
Linglong Immortal Emperor said.
The others became increasingly grim upon hearing.
The escaped Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor’s actions were secretive, adept at counter-surveillance, likely posing a major problem, but hiding so well, making it almost impossible to find him.
"This is tricky."
Ye Feng sighed.
Finding him was exceedingly difficult.
Unless, every time an Ancient Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor is found, using the black compass to scout their past images, otherwise, it’s hard to determine who that person is.
But this approach would offend many.
Ye Feng and Linglong Immortal Emperor chatted for a long time, learning that there were many Recluse Immortal Emperors hidden in Black Prison Peak who weren’t prisoners, hence decided to visit each in turn.
"Ye Feng, take care!"
Linglong Immortal Emperor sent Ye Feng and his group to the castle gate, waving goodbye.
On the mountain road.
Ye Feng found another Eighty-three layered Immortal Emperor, this person was not a prisoner, but one who had been hiding here since the eighth Origin Era to avoid the world.
"One hundred pieces of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves!"
This Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up at the sight of wealth, promptly receiving Ye Feng and his group warmly, revealing the secrets he knew.
"The cloaked person you mentioned often goes to one place; there, you might discover something."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng swiftly departed.
On the halfway of Black Prison Peak.
Here was an abandoned soil excavation area, appearing like a super-sized sinkhole due to the massive extraction of black soil, with numerous black bricks piled around.
"Where could there be clues?"
Hu Feifei looked around, picking up a black brick casually, discovering a special mark on its surface, resembling a cat paw print.
"This seems problematic."
Ye Feng took out the black compass, reversing the black brick’s history, finally uncovering useful clues.
In the image.
The cloaked person was digging here, but the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar approached, seemingly trying to devour this mysterious cloaked individual, terrifying the person into fleeing.
The Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar pursued swiftly.
Its claw happened to step on a black brick, leaving this mark, soon catching up with the cloaked person, tearing off a piece of black cloth from the person, exposing the well-concealed skin.
The person was covered in fur.
Appearing like a monkey.
The fur color was black mixed with red.
This was the most crucial information Ye Feng had obtained, his eyes filled with surprise.
The Black Prison Demonic Beast avatar chased the short-statured figure, gradually disappearing on Black Prison Peak.
From then, the image ended.
"Is it a monkey with red-black fur? This person seems notably short; it really might not be human but a monkey."
Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor speculated.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei agreed deeply.
"However, this cloaked person is truly formidable, surviving under the pursuit of Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar, showing extraordinary skill."
Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel.
"Sect Leader, where to next?" Hu Feifei handed Ye Feng the black brick with the cat paw print.
Ye Feng pointed to the top of Black Prison Peak.
"To there!"
Now, they were drawing closer to the truth; asking other Ancient Immortal Emperors would probably yield no useful information. Instead of wasting Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves consulting them, they might as well directly seek the Black Prison Demonic Beast.
The road to the peak was long.
Even with Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, and Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor’s formidable strength, under restrictive oppression, it took them three days to reach a point where any direction was downhill, indicating they were at the highest point of Black Prison Peak.
Commonly known as: the peak.
"Where’s the Black Prison Demonic Beast?"
Hu Feifei looked around, only discovering a regular black peak top buffeted by raging wind, devoid of any so-called Black Prison Demonic Beast.
"Look there."
Ye Feng pointed to the sky, where a huge ancient tree hovered with a beast that resembled a mix of black panther and black cat lying atop.
It was agile, its gaze fierce.
An aura of regal dominance suddenly radiated.
"It’s the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s main body."
Ye Feng concluded.
[Name: Black Prison Demonic Beast]
[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor]
[Introduction: A conglomerate of evil thoughts, born from endless darkness, possessing innate oppression field against those with evil thoughts, feeding on evil thoughts]
[Identity: Black Prison Overseer]
[Remark: Progenitor of malevolent thoughts]
This was the basic information Ye Feng obtained through the Eye of Insight, and at that moment, the Black Prison Demonic Beast looked back.
Eyes met, silent confrontation.
"So terrifying!" Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor stared at the Black Prison Demonic Beast, feeling a chilling cold seep through him, as though trapped in a bleak dark space, involuntarily shivering.
"Roar!"
The Black Prison Demonic Beast jumped off the ancient tree, landing on the peak silently, like a ghost in the night, making one’s heart pound.
It lowered its head, gazing at Ye Feng and the others.
[Goodnight!]
