Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603: The Crucial Escape List

In the castle.

Ye Feng pushed open a large door and entered the room where the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor once resided, discovering that inside there were only a bed made of black bricks, a long table, a square stool, and a cabinet.

Besides this, there was nothing else.

He began to search, only to find a pile of dust inside the cabinet, like some items that had been left for too long, turned into weathered fragments without any research value.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ye Feng found a secret compartment on the wall around the bed. Upon opening it, he saw inside a broken ring made of black earth, looking as if it had been shattered, with mysterious patterns engraved on its surface.

"What is this?"

[Name: Identity Ring]

[Grade: None]

[Description: A black earth ring engraved with the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s identity information, but since it’s only a semi-finished product, it doesn’t contain much information.]

[Remark: Symbol of Identity]

Seeing this, Ye Feng fell into contemplation.

He remembered that after he annihilated the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, he had opened the opponent’s Storage Space, yet found nothing like an Identity Ring.

"Alas, I really was foolish!"

Ye Feng slapped his forehead, "The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, Silent Death Emperor, and the Black Prison Master were all killed once by the Spirit Heavenly Immortal. Now, they’ve only been resurrected by a mysterious figure, so it’s normal not to have an Identity Ring."

Saying this, he examined the broken Identity Ring.

When breaking through the fiftieth layer of the Creation Realm, the Spirit Heavenly Immortal had taught Ye Feng some Secret Techniques that could trace back in time and seek certain truths.

Thus, he began to cast spells.

As a beam of law light scanned the surface of the Identity Ring, it immediately refracted radiant light to the surrounding walls, forming a continuous visual display.

In the pictures, there was a dark castle.

Dozens of Ancient Immortal Emperors sat inside, but apart from the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, the others were unfamiliar, with no Silent Death Emperor, and no legendary Black Prison Master.

These were just a group of Ancient Immortal Emperors above the fiftieth level, with not even a sixtieth-layered Immortal Emperor among them.

"Where is this castle located?"

Ye Feng watched the scene, pondering deeply.

At that moment, he noticed that the top structure of this castle was different from others; there was a pointed high tower here, seemingly specially remodeled.

"This is a clue."

After viewing the images refracted by the Identity Ring, Ye Feng put it away and continued to search around, finding traces of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s activity in other rooms, but they held little value.

Half a day later.

"Sect Leader, this castle doesn’t seem to hold any important clues, not even many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Hu Feifei’s voice rang out.

"I understand, next, you and I will go to the next destination, there should be clues there."

Ye Feng responded.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two left this castle and headed towards a Black Mountain thousands of miles away, moving at a decent speed.

"Sect Leader, where are we going?"

"Just follow the direction indicated by the Black Compass." Ye Feng looked at the compass in his palm, which was placed on top of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s Identity Ring underneath, thus it could track constructions related to it.

One hour later.

Ye Feng and Hu Feifei arrived at a slightly larger seven-story castle, with a pointed tower at the top, making this castle over ten meters taller than others.

"Who goes there?"

Before the two could push the door open and enter, they heard a booming voice, and immediately, three figures quickly drew back the large iron door, surrounding Ye Feng and Hu Feifei.

Ye Feng examined the newcomers.

The leader was a graceful and noble woman, holding a fine sword, exuding the cultivation level of a fifty-nine-layered Immortal Emperor.

The other two were men, dressed in black robes, with a cultivation level of fifty-five-layered Immortal Emperor, their eyes chilly.

"We came to have a look." Ye Feng said calmly, "Of course, if you disagree, I’ll break your Divine Souls and shatter your paths."

All three of these in front were criminals, permissible to kill.

"Such arrogance!"

The three Immortal Emperors laughed in anger, attacking simultaneously, with brilliant Law Swords slashing down, yet Ye Feng simply waved his sleeve and dissolved them all, causing their expressions to change drastically.

"This is a master."

"Perhaps, are they here to seize the castle?"

"Very likely."

The three Ancient Immortal Emperors spoke one after another.

The castle they lived in was ancient and contained special Formations left by predecessors, capable of accelerating cultivation speed, making it a treasured feng shui spot.

Staying here for a long time can improve cultivation level.

Therefore, occasionally other ancient immortal emperors come to seize residency rights of the castle, they are used to it.

"Seize the castle? Sort of!"

Ye Feng swung his fists, performing his self-created supreme divine arts "Chaos Divine Fist," unleashing a barrage of fist shadows that simultaneously struck the three immortal emperors.

Bam!

They shattered in response, perishing instantly.

"Sect Leader, give it to me!"

Hu Feifei rushed up, inhaling forcefully, absorbing the energy of the three ancient immortal emperors into her body, refining it into upgrade energy, and quickly breaking through the forty-eight-layered immortal emperor level.

Ye Feng did not prevent it.

With Hu Feifei’s cultivation level increasing, his small universe also benefits from energy augmentation; moreover, with the system’s amplification effect, this is much stronger than if he directly absorbs it.

"Let’s go, let’s search inside the castle."

Ye Feng took the lead to step inside.

After a thorough search, he discovered a secret chamber within the spire at the top of the castle, housing numerous identity rings.

Utilizing secret techniques for analysis, Ye Feng quickly obtained the desired information.

"Finally found the list!"

"This castle is the place where Black Dragon Immortal Emperor and other ancient immortal emperors conspired a plan to escape. Besides Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, Yan Kun, Gold, Silver, and Bronze three immortal emperors have also been here for meetings multiple times."

"There are as many as three hundred and sixty people involved in this plan, including some ancient immortal emperors of the sixty-layered and seventy-layered level."

After obtaining the information, Ye Feng softly told it to Hu Feifei beside him.

"But there are only dozens of ancient immortal emperors from the Black Prison Demon Sect, while those involved in the plan number in the hundreds, which is quite strange!" Hu Feifei remarked in bewilderment.

"Two possibilities," Ye Feng said, "One, they couldn’t escape. Two, they did escape but were later killed by the Spirit Heavenly Immortal, and have not yet been resurrected by the top-tier masterminds behind it."

"Oh, indeed," Hu Feifei nodded in agreement.

Ye Feng organized the information and compiled a list including Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, Yan Kun, Murong Xue, Gold, Silver, and Bronze three immortal emperors among over three hundred others.

"Over thirty ancient immortal emperors from the list, including Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, have already been slain by us, and over three hundred remain as a significant threat."

That was Ye Feng’s assessment.

The two continued their search here, taking all valuable items with them, and moved on.

This time, they set off to the castle of Silent Death Emperor.

Through research, Ye Feng discovered that Silent Death Emperor was not among the same group that escaped with Black Dragon Immortal Emperor; when Silent Death Emperor fled the Black Prison, Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, Murong Xue, Gold, Silver, and Bronze three immortal emperors had already left.

Half a day later.

Ye Feng and Hu Feifei arrived at a vast and ancient-looking black castle, discovering it uninhabited, the environment serene, with a large formation guarding its surface.

And this was indeed the castle of Silent Death Emperor.

"No wonder it is a place for a seventy-layered immortal emperor to reside; the environment is much better than other areas, and it seems the whole castle is inhabited by just him."

Ye Feng broke through the formation and entered the castle.

Here, he found many ancient books left by Silent Death Emperor, as well as various recipes and diagrams written while researching the method to escape.

"Huh!"

"There seem to be traces of other inhabitants having existed here, possibly another seventy-layered immortal emperor."

Ye Feng stroked his chin, forming seals with both hands.

Buzz!

Numerous light particles surged around, materializing into a long-lost scene in midair.

In the scene.

Silent Death Emperor and an unfamiliar seventy-layered immortal emperor lived in this castle, ruling over hundreds of ancient immortal emperors around, power there unparalleled.

Even in the Black Prison, the two lived a luxurious life.

Until one day, the Black Prison Demonic Beast devoured his inmate right in front of Silent Death Emperor, inspiring him to ardently research a way to leave.

Finally, he succeeded!

Silent Death Emperor knew the hair fallen from the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar could be burnt into ink to draw talismans, ensuring cultivators could leave the Black Prison.

In order to leave, Silent Death Emperor waged war on the Black Continent, leading to the death of over a thousand ancient immortal emperors above fifty-layered, with numerous malevolent thoughts emerging, forming an Evil Thought Fruit, attracting the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s avatar.

It devoured the Evil Thought Fruit, causing its hair to fall.

Afterward, Silent Death Emperor used the hair to make talisman papers, leaving effortlessly.

Having seen these scenes, Ye Feng was secretly amazed.

"What a Silent Death Emperor, to leave the Black Prison, he even waged war, sending his hundreds of ancient immortal emperors to their deaths, truly ruthless."

"However, come to think of it, anyone imprisoned in the Black Prison is ruthless!"

Ye Feng whispered, continuing his search.
