Through the previous search, Ye Feng finally learned how the Silent Death Emperor left the Black Prison, so he continued to explore the castle.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ye Feng made a new discovery.
It was a jade disk that contained information, but because of a special seal on it, Ye Feng had to use the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Decrypting Eye," spending half an hour to finally successfully decipher it.
A string of information immediately flowed out.
After digesting it, Ye Feng’s face showed surprise.
"The jade disk is a ledger, personally recorded by the Silent Death Emperor. It says that the Silent Death Emperor knew many Ancient Immortal Emperors, helped them, and received their help as well."
"Among these Ancient Immortal Emperors, there is a powerful Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor who lives very close to the core area of the Black Prison. This person once guided the Silent Death Emperor and has quite a mysterious background."
"Before leaving the Black Prison, the Silent Death Emperor sought out this Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor, begging him to leave together, but was refused."
Seeing this, Ye Feng was very surprised.
"Why wouldn’t the Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor known by the Silent Death Emperor want to leave the Black Prison?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but mutter.
The jade disk did not record the reason why that Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor did not leave the Black Prison, nor some later events, because the Silent Death Emperor didn’t have time.
After learning that the Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor would not leave, the Silent Death Emperor could only start a great battle, obtaining hair from the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s clone, and eventually left the place.
This jade disk was left in the castle.
"We have to continue searching."
Ye Feng resumed his work.
Hu Feifei was also helping to search for various clues, but there were no valuable findings later, so she could only come to the castle gate with Ye Feng.
"Sect Leader, have you found anything?"
"A little, not much."
"What should we do then? Didn’t you say we must ascertain who escaped from the Black Prison to know the mastermind hidden in the Universe?"
"That’s right, but the top powerhouses who initially escaped the Black Prison were too cunning, leaving almost no traces, it’s hard to guess!"
Speaking of this, Ye Feng was very helpless.
Hu Feifei poked Ye Feng’s chest with her finger and pointed to the center of the Black Continent, saying, "Sect Leader, the Black Prison Demonic Beast is the ruler of the Black Prison, so maybe it knows something?"
Ye Feng was stunned.
Yes! Perhaps the Black Prison Demonic Beast knows all the secrets of the Black Prison. Can we find it and ask?
But, will it speak?
Ye Feng expressed his concern.
"Sect Leader, how about we go and ask the Black Prison Demonic Beast now? Maybe we can get all the secrets without painstaking investigations."
Hu Feifei suggested.
Ye Feng rubbed his chin and said, "What you say makes sense, but if the Black Prison Demonic Beast doesn’t know the secrets and instead beats us up and drives us out, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?"
Hu Feifei scratched her head, "Seems like it."
Ye Feng further said, "So, we can play it safe, first check all the castles of the Silent Death Emperor, then find that mysterious Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor, and finally look for the Black Prison Demonic Beast."
"Wow, Sect Leader is really smart." Hu Feifei looked admiring, her eyes glowing.
Ye Feng was suddenly embarrassed.
Is this called smart?
Anyone who likes to play it safe would probably choose this way of handling things, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng pulled Hu Feifei and walked toward another castle thousands of miles away.
That was the Silent Death Emperor’s second castle.
On the map provided by Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor, a total of five castles were marked, all properties of the Silent Death Emperor, which must be inspected one by one.
One hour later.
The two arrived at the Silent Death Emperor’s second castle, finding it occupied by several Fifty-eight Layer Immortal Emperors who had a bad attitude when they saw Ye Feng and Hu Feifei.
So, Ye Feng sent them to the Western Heaven.
Hu Feifei took the opportunity to absorb energy, her cultivation level greatly increased, and continued helping Ye Feng search the castle, but found no important clues like the jade disk.
Three days later.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei had scouted the five castles where the Silent Death Emperor once lived, but apart from the jade disk in the first castle, there were no clues in the other castles.
However, the two were not without gains.
The subsequent castles were all occupied by several Ancient Immortal Emperors above the Fifty Layer, and after Ye Feng killed them, Hu Feifei absorbed the energy they transformed into.
As a result, she broke through to the Forty-nine Layer Immortal Emperor.
"The upgrade energy Hu Feifei needs seems to be less than mine, for the same realm, I need much more energy than her, it’s really frustrating."
Ye Feng felt helpless in his heart.
This is the disadvantage of the small universe within the body.
After increasing the cultivation level, combat power skyrockets, but the required cultivation resources are too many, each has its pros and cons.
"Sect Leader, I’ve broken through!"
With Hu Feifei’s advancement to the Forty-nine Layer Immortal Emperor, she was so happy that she hugged Ye Feng and kissed him endlessly on the face.
"I also broke through."
Ye Feng grinned, looking crafty.
Through the accumulation over this period, he smoothly advanced to the Fifty-second Layer of the Creation Realm, and with a casual blow, he could let a Sixty Layer Immortal Emperor perish.
The combat power was even more amazing when fully unleashed.
"We have already finished exploring the Silent Death Emperor’s castle, although we didn’t find new clues, it’s still a good thing that both your and my cultivation levels have improved. Next, let’s fight our way to that Ninety Layer Ancient Immortal Emperor’s castle and have a chat with him."
"Alright!"
This pair of top powerhouses, who were Undying and Indestructible, once again embarked on the journey through the Black Continent.
...
Deep in the Universe Starry Sky.
The Silent Death Emperor arrived here and found the star system before him was full of life, so he prepared to enter and unleash slaughter to improve his cultivation level.
But, a sudden change occurred!
The entire star system suddenly withered, and all the life forms within, whether Immortal Venerables or mortals, instantly crumbled into dust, with their life force converging towards the supermassive black hole at the center of the star system, brewing new life.
Boom!
Terror filled the air as law fluctuations exploded, the black hole entire shattered into countless rays of light, and when the light dimmed, a strange silhouette appeared at the center of the star system.
He stood there, far more terrifying than the black hole.
Feeling the familiar aura of the other party, the Silent Death Emperor cried with tears and snot, hastily saying, "Master of the Black Prison, you have finally been reborn!"
As he spoke, he rushed over.
"Don’t come closer!"
That person uttered in a cold voice, "This emperor has just resurrected and cannot move yet and needs to recuperate here for a while, make sure you protect me, understand?"
"Yes." The Silent Death Emperor hurriedly nodded.
...
Shenzhou Continent, Ancient Dragon Court.
Heavenly Venerable Lu suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards the depths of the Universe, with a heavy expression on his brows.
"An Immortal Emperor above Eightieth-layered, could it be the legendary Black Prison Master?"
His brows were already furrowed into the shape of a character.
The leaders of the Harmony faction and Main Battle faction among conspirators, Necromancy Monarch, Venerable Shalu, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, Lei Wudao’s Protector, and other Immortal Emperors above Eightieth-layered all sensed the aura from the Black Prison Master and had serious expressions.
Endless Remote Lands.
Lei Wudao learned of the Black Prison Master’s rebirth, hurriedly looking at the Protector beside him, asking, "That one has actually lived again, won’t we become enemies with this person because of what we did to Silent Death Emperor before?"
The Protector said, "Becoming enemies is inevitable, but rest assured, I can handle it."
"That’s good then."
Lei Wudao nodded, no longer worried.
...
Black Continent.
From the time Ye Feng and Hu Feifei entered this place, over a month had passed. Through the slaughter during this period, they finally reached the core area of the Black Continent.
Looking up.
They saw a supermassive mountain standing in front, whose height was unknown, reaching dozens of thousands of miles, making Ye Feng and Hu Feifei utterly insignificant, not even comparable to ants or bacteria.
"Such a massive mountain," Hu Feifei exclaimed in amazement.
"This is the core area of the Black Continent. The Immortal Emperors above the Eightieth-layered mostly reside below the mountainside. Let’s go, climb the mountain."
Ye Feng set off first.
Hu Feifei immediately followed.
During this period, they didn’t travel straight here, but deliberately took a detour to pass by the castles on the route, killing the Ancient Immortal Emperors residing in them.
Now, Hu Feifei has advanced to the Fifty Layer Immortal Emperor, Ye Feng reached the peak of the Fifty-third Layer of the Creation Realm, poised to break through to the next realm.
Their strength is becoming ever more powerful.
