Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: The Black Prison Convicts’ Suspicion

"It’s quite difficult!"

A Divine Origin Realm genius slightly frowned at the content of the written exam in front of them.

The forty million geniuses participating in the assessment ranged from the lowest, Divine Origin Realm, to the highest, Quasi-Saint, so there were only questions for Divine Origin, Void Break, and Quasi-Saint levels.

According to one’s cultivation level, one receives the corresponding exam.𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Begin answering the questions!"

Gong Qingqiu shouted.

The time for the written exam was only six hours. None of the geniuses dared to delay; they immediately reviewed the questions and wisely chose the ones they understood best to answer.

Atop Misty Peak.

Ye Feng sat at the edge of the cliff, overseeing the entire scene.

This was just an avatar.

But even the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor nearby didn’t know that this wasn’t Ye Feng’s real body.

In various parts of Shenzhou.

Many Black Prison convicts used the Heavenly Eye to see Ye Feng sitting at the edge of the cliff, and they reported back.

"Ye Feng is currently supervising the exam."

"Heh, ever since he lost Xia Yao’s help, he’s either wandering around Shenzhou or fishing and eating meat in the Misty Sect, showing no ambition."

"He must have been scared stupid by us."

"Haha!"

The Black Prison convicts communicated smugly.

Then, they discovered some convicts could not be contacted, roughly estimating thousands in number.

"Why can’t I reach the Celestial Summit Immortal Emperor?"

"I can’t reach him either."

"I can’t contact the Hundred Steps Immortal Emperor."

"Are they in secluded cultivation?"

"Possibly."

The Black Prison convicts noticed something amiss, went to the residences of these missing convicts, and found that all those Immortal Emperors had disappeared without a trace, even their subordinates were clueless.

It was as if they had vanished from the world!

"Why are so many people suddenly missing?"

"Could it be Ye Feng made a move? Impossible, he’s been under our surveillance all this time without any opportunity to act."

"Was it Xia Yao and Huo Lingjiao?"

"Not them. Our informants in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom are watching them, and it’s said these two women are bathing in the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool and haven’t left."

"So, those people disappeared into thin air; they probably went to explore the Universe, rather than having died."

"That must be it."

The Black Prison convicts communicated with each other through sound transmission.

As Immortal Emperors, a single secluded cultivation could last a thousand or even ten thousand years; occasionally vanishing for a time isn’t unusual.

...

In a Great Thousand World.

Ye Feng’s true body remained invisible, using the Evil Thought Coin and "Absolute Void" to control more than a dozen Thirty-Five Layered Immortal Emperor level convicts.

Poof!

They were instantly killed, perishing without leaving a trace.

The intense malicious thoughts, physical bodies, and law energies were all devoured by the Evil Thought Coin, ultimately absorbed by the Malice Crystal and Ye Feng, leaving nothing to waste.

"Another fifteen!"

Ye Feng sneered, leaving silently.

With the power of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, he could come and go without trace, kill without a sign, and with the amplification from the small Universe’s power, even a Ninety Layered Immortal Emperor would have difficulty finding traces of him at the scene.

"The Black Prison convicts aren’t fools; they surely suspect me, but there’s no evidence."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

He only needed to kill another ten thousand Black Prison convicts to gather the remaining five Evil Thought Fruits, which would mean reducing the existing convicts by one-tenth.

This number is not insignificant.

However, since the deceased were only lower than Forty Layered Immortal Emperors, it was impossible to alarm the high-ranking convicts with cultivations exceeding Seventy Layered Immortals in the Black Prison.

...

Misty Sect, Sect Main Plaza.

After six hours of grueling work, the written exam finally ended. The forty million geniuses rested for an hour and then began the martial arts examination.

A sheet of paper lay on the table.

Within it contained a Sumeru Space. As the geniuses touched the paper, their whole bodies were sucked into it, while the exterior of the paper revealed the scenes inside, visible to all.

Within the examination space.

The geniuses found that in front of them was a figure almost identical to themselves, possessing the same cultivation level and combat power.

Even the secret techniques they mastered were known by the other.

Boom!

The geniuses swiftly fought the figures. The Sumeru Space contained an Artifact Spirit that graded them based on their performance, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

Crash!

One genius only managed to hold out for half an hour before being blasted out by the Sumeru Space figure, receiving just over three hundred points, ranking last.

"Sigh, I’ve probably failed again."

This genius was downcast.

"I’ll be back!" Another genius was also blasted out of the examination space but was not discouraged. Instead, they clenched their fist, filled with fighting spirit.

"Ah!"

Another was blasted out of the examination space.

As time went on, even the top geniuses were defeated by the incarnations with identical cultivation levels and combat power.

Only a few managed to fight to a draw.

As for defeating the opponent, none.

One hour later.

Boom!

The last genius exited the examination space, marking the end of both the written and martial arts examinations.

High above.

A giant screen was calculating the scores. As the written and martial arts scores were tallied, the top ten thousand geniuses became Quasi-Disciples of the Misty Sect.

"I’m ranked ten thousandth, haha, I’ve made it, I’m going to join the Misty Sect!"

A young man cried tears of joy.

Although there’s a third round of assessments later, those are only for ranking, determining the order of the ten thousand disciples among the tenth generation.

For this young man, that wasn’t important.

"My son passed the exam!"

"Haha, my daughter ranked three hundredth. From today, she’s a disciple of the Misty Sect. By the end of this year, she’ll at least break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, becoming the highest cultivator in our family."

"The third young master made it!"

"Our family is saved!"

As the list of the top ten thousand was announced, some rejoiced, some worried, and some, learning that a rival family’s young master or mistress had passed the assessment, hurried to their family’s residence with lavish gifts to apologize.

One hour later.

The ten thousand disciples of the tenth generation got ready to go, starting to ascend the stone steps of Misty Peak. Some sauntered slowly, indifferent to ranking, while others rushed forward, hoping to become the top of the tenth generation.

...

Half-Side of the Immortal Realm Universe.

Rip!

Several Thirty-Eight Layered Immortal Emperors perished without a trace.

Not far away.

Ye Feng remained invisible, absorbing the malicious thoughts and energies emanating from the fallen convicts, his eyes filled with indifference.

Moments later.

He looked towards the direction of the Misty Sect.

"Very well, the new tenth generation disciples are freshly out. In a few hours, they should all be able to reach the top of Misty Peak; then, it won’t be too late for me to go back."

Ye Feng murmured.

...

Millions of miles away.

A Seventy Layered Immortal Emperor sat on a throne, listening to the report from a Fifty Layered Immortal Emperor, his eyebrows full of astonishment and worry.

"You mean dozens of under-forty-layered Immortal Emperors under my command have mysteriously disappeared?"

"Yes."

"Have you found the cause?"

"Not yet."

"Could it be Ye Feng made a move?"

This Seventy Layered Immortal Emperor speculated.
