Chapter 1622: Chapter 1622: The Outer Realm Foes’ Conspiracy

In the depths of the universe.

This is an ancient Immortal Realm.

Ye Feng appeared out of thin air, landing in front of a dilapidated temple, picking up a fragment of a molten Immortal Weapon, sensing an unusual aura from it.

"Something is not right here."

Ye Feng formed a seal with his hands, tracing back the past scenes of this area, quickly reaching a conclusion.

In the scene.

This Ancient Life Star was not yet deserted, industries flourished, and countless cultivators existed.

In the eastern part of the Ancient Star, there was a temple.

This place worshiped a Great Immortal.

He wore only shorts, revealing incredibly strong muscles, his whole body a light blue, with skin like the texture of sharkskin, wielding a trident, under his command were a hundred thousand navy soldiers, responsible for maintaining the order of this star.

He was revered as... Sea Great Immortal.

This star governed by the Sea Great Immortal developed peacefully for thousands of years until one day, an anomaly occurred.

A group of ape-men with red and black fur appeared.

The weakest among them were Quasi-Saints, and the leader reached the Heavenly Immortal Level, possessing immense power.

Sea Great Immortal led his troops in resistance.

The outcome of this battle was clear.

The hundred thousand navy soldiers of the Ancient Star were slaughtered by this terrifying group of red and black furred ape-men, and Sea Great Immortal, ultimately outnumbered, was torn to pieces.

His weapon was also shattered.

The temple thus became desolate.

With this, the scene ended.

Based on the details in the scene, Ye Feng searched the Ancient Star for half an hour and finally discovered the purpose of the ape-men’s attack near the temple.

Nearby, there was an ancient well.

Below the well were secret passages leading to the core area of the Ancient Star, where in the magma ocean, a special fire lotus was nurtured, which had already been taken away.

"They killed the entire Ancient Star just for a fire lotus, so what is the effect of this fire lotus?"

Ye Feng pondered.

He delved into the depths underground, standing above the scorching magma ocean, discovering a small pool containing viscous golden magma, within which lay a withered plant stem, as if a flower had been plucked from it.

As Ye Feng touched this object, it immediately turned into ash, disappearing.

There was a faint emission of a special aura.

"Void Fire Lotus?"

Ye Feng was taken aback.

The fire lotus that had been plucked was remarkably similar to the Void Fire Lotus used to cure Qiao Jiaxi back then, though not exactly the same, but of the same lineage of Spiritual Medicine, possessing similar special inherited bloodlines.

"This type of fire lotus differs from the Void Fire Lotus, not meant for healing but capable of crafting special void gemstones used to open space passageways."

"So, I understand now!"

"These Outer Domain ape-men seek treasures capable of opening void passageways, thus unlocking the gate between the Twin Universes and the Outer Realm, letting the long-waiting Outer Domain ape-men enter, slaughtering the cosmos."

Ye Feng speculated.

He had seen the past scenes of that broken universe, knowing there would be Outer Domain ape-men invading the universe, slaughtering beings, and devouring cultivation levels for growth.

"However, there’s an issue here!"

"Outer Domain ape-men have already entered our Twin Universe, so why do they need to open the universe gateway? Logically, isn’t it already open?"

"Could it be that only an advance party has arrived?"

Ye Feng took out the Black Compass, using its formation to track, and finally discovered a strand of interwoven red and black monkey hair in the magma layer.

The aura on it was very familiar.

"It’s the same aura as that of the simian prisoner who escaped the Black Prison, one over the Ninety Layer."

"Oh, I understand."

"The ape-man army that annihilated this Ancient Star was merely an avatar of that prisoner."

"This indicates there is likely only one ape-man infiltrator in the universe, and this individual seeks special fire lotuses like the Void Fire Lotus to open the universe gateway."

"However, how did this person enter the Twin Universe? This is indeed a question worth pondering."

Ye Feng thought deeply.

Following the clues from the Ancient Star, he continued to traverse the depths of the universe, finally discovering new signs after half a day, arriving at a broken star system.

This star system was originally very beautiful.

Many beings lived within it.

However, according to Ye Feng’s deduction, countless years ago, this beautiful and prosperous star system was shattered by a group of ape-men, with all its inhabitants perishing.

In the scenes of the past.

It was observable that in many planets of this star system, special magma surfaced, merging in the starry sky to form a unique dark golden metallic substance, incredibly heavy, which the ape-men collectively carried away, disappearing from sight.

Ye Feng hurriedly searched here.

One hour later.

He discovered a fingernail-sized fragment of a broken meteorite on the surface of a barren star, the same material as the heavy dark golden metal in the scene.

[Name: Void Meteorite Iron]

[Grade: Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor Level]

[Introduction: A post-celestial metal with a very strong bearing capacity, which can be used to create the base of the Shattered Gate]

[Note: Refining Materials]

"Shattered Gate! What the heck is this?"

Ye Feng froze on the spot.

Helplessly, he could only remember the name and then continuously sweep his Divine Sense around, preparing to find information related to the Shattered Gate.

However, half a day later.

Ye Feng still couldn’t find any information about the Shattered Gate, so he returned to the Misty Sect, where he found the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor standing barefoot on the grass, catching butterflies.

"Shattered Gate?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng mention this name, the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor first fell into silence, pondering for a long time before suddenly slapping her forehead and saying, "I know it now."

Saying this, she pulled out an ancient book.

Ye Feng quickly flipped through it and found that it described the Shattered Gate as a top-grade Immortal Emperor Weapon specifically used to break through the void barriers.

"Could it be that the ape-man prisoner intends to use the Shattered Gate to open the universe barrier?"

Ye Feng couldn’t help but speculate.

He continued to read the book.

"The Shattered Gate can only be used within the universe and cannot open cosmic-grade barriers, but it can absorb the universe’s power to forcibly break through various barriers within the universe."

Seeing this sentence, Ye Feng’s pupils contracted.

Beside him, the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor furrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked Ye Feng, "Why did you suddenly ask about the Shattered Gate, could it be that you have made some discovery?"

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and described what he had discovered outside: the broken temple on the Ancient Star, the Void Meteorite Iron in the deserted star system, and the ape-man’s various campaigns.

Upon hearing this, the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor fell into deep thought.

Ye Feng waited by her side.

"If my guess isn’t wrong, the prisoner who escaped from the Black Prison with a cultivation level above the ninety layers of the Immortal Emperor tier is likely trying to forge the Shattered Gate to forcibly break out of the Black Prison."

The Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor said.

"Really?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, "But, why would that person want to break the Black Prison?"

The Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor said, "There are too many prisoners held in the Black Prison; if it is broken, they will definitely escape and wreak havoc, causing chaos throughout the universe."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng speculated, "If the universe falls into chaos, it will inevitably trigger a great war. I remember there was a rumor that once a large-scale war breaks out in the universe, countless strong individuals will perish, causing cosmic imbalance."

Thinking of this, he understood everything.

"Once the universe becomes imbalanced, the universe barriers will weaken and can be breached by the Shattered Gate, allowing those strong individuals from the Outer Realm who have been dormant for many years to invade."

"And this is the goal."

Ye Feng finally grasped the truth.

"It’s quite possible." The Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor nodded and asked, "What do you plan to do next? Attempt to capture that person in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom?"

"I have this intention." Ye Feng nodded, "However, I feel that my scouting isn’t comprehensive enough; I need to continue investigating deeper into the universe to find more reliable clues and conduct a comprehensive analysis."

He has the Myriad Spirits Treasure Vase that can suppress the ape-man with a cultivation level above ninety layers hiding in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

But there’s a problem here.

This ninety-layered ape-man is currently the only known Outer Realm infiltrator. What if he has accomplices? What then?

"If I suppress this ape-man, causing his hidden accomplices to escape, that would be bad."

Ye Feng said to himself.

He decided to continue scouting the universe to confirm whether the infiltrator is the only one.

If there’s only one, he can proceed with the capture directly.

If there are accomplices, he will need to uncover all their identities and backgrounds before taking them out entirely.

Deep in the starry sky.

Ye Feng arrived here.

Based on information from the Ancient Star where Sea Great Immortal resides, and the special meteor fragments in the shattered star system, he continued tracking in the starry sky and discovered the third battlefield.

That is the fringe of the Immortal Realm.

Here lies a special Immortal Pulse, which breeds a special alloy that was initially overseen and developed by a certain family in the Immortal Realm. However, one day, they were suddenly attacked by a group of wild monkeys who stole all the alloy.

This family was also wiped out.

Ye Feng arrived at the Immortal Pulse ruins, picked up a bean-sized piece of colorful alloy, and discovered that this item could be one of the raw materials for the Shattered Gate.

Several days later.

Ye Feng discovered several similar Immortal Pulses and found fragments of special alloys, confirming that these were all materials used to forge the Shattered Gate.

"Based on the current intelligence analysis, this ape-man probably has already collected all the materials."

Ye Feng whispered to himself.

However, after thinking it over, he still felt something was missing.

Why is this ape-man hiding in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom?

To confirm this matter, Ye Feng continued to meticulously investigate similar clues across the universe, occasionally consulting the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor, and finally confirmed one thing.

Forging the Shattered Gate requires special energy.

And this energy can only be satisfied by the Divine Pool Water from the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

"I see!"

Ye Feng finally understood why the ape-man was hiding in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom; it was to obtain the water from the Divine Pool.
