Chapter 1607: Chapter 1607: Heavenly Mandate, Dream Butterfly, and Questions

"Yes, after all these years, I can feel that the Immortal Realm has undergone tremendous changes. It’s no longer the old Ancient Immortal Realm but a brand-new world. After experiencing those vicissitudes, there’s nothing familiar left."

The Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor said so.

"Now the Universe seems much smaller than the Origin Era we were in. Many regions are sealed, countless interfaces are separated. It seems to have gone through painful wars."

The Thundercloud Immortal Emperor expressed his view.

"Sigh!" The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor sighed.

As Ancient Immortal Emperors, they have experienced so much that they’ve come to terms with many things. But when they returned to the Universe Starry Sky after so many years, they couldn’t help but be filled with emotions.

"Next, let’s travel through the Universe and learn about the current era!"

The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor suggested.

The Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor glanced around and said, "I sense an Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor-level fellow Daoist in today’s Immortal Realm. This might be the Heavenly Emperor Lingtian."

Before parting ways with Ye Feng, they learned about the general structure of today’s Universe, knowing about top powerhouses like the Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, Heavenly Venerable Lu, as well as matters concerning the Black Prison Demon Sect.

Inside the Daoist Temple.

The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian opened his eyes and found three elders dressed differently in front of him, each with a deep aura, all Eighty-first-layered Immortal Emperors.

"Who are you?"

The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian stood up and asked.

"I am the Green Destiny Immortal Emperor. These two are the Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor and the Thundercloud Immortal Emperor, from the Black Prison." The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor introduced himself, seeing the change on the face of the Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, he shifted his tone, "The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian need not worry; although we come from the Black Prison, we’re not prisoners and are not related to the Black Prison Master you know."

"Oh?" The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian was deeply suspicious.

"We are certainly not evildoers." The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor took out a Jade Pendant, a token from Ye Feng.

"Hmm!"

The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian finally believed halfway and began conversing with the three Ancient Immortal Emperors, ultimately learning that the rumored Black Prison outside was merely a force formed by prisoners who escaped the true Black Prison.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng is currently in the actual Black Prison.

"So, there are so many ancient powerhouses hiding in the Black Prison. If all the prisoners escaped, it would surely cause chaos in the Universe."

The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian expressed his concern.

The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor said, "The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian need not worry; those prisoners are managed by the Black Prison Demonic Beasts and cannot move in and out as freely as we can."

The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian still worried, "But haven’t the Black Prison Master and Silent Death Emperor escaped?"

The Green Destiny Immortal Emperor said, "Sect Master Ye told us that they managed to escape by using the fur of the Black Prison Demonic Beast. However, not many know this news, and even if they did, coming out isn’t that simple."

The Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor added, "Sect Master Ye is currently investigating in the Black Prison. Once he comes out, you can ask him for more detailed information."

"All right." The Heavenly Emperor Lingtian nodded, "The three of you, since fate brought us together, let me guide you as you travel through today’s Universe!"

"Great!"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

With the Immortal Emperor Lingtian, who was familiar with the current Universe, acting as their guide, the Green Destiny Immortal Emperor and the other two were naturally pleased.

In the Ancient Dragon Court, the Endless Remote Lands, the Starry Sky World, and the depths of the Universe, Heavenly Venerable Lu and other Eighty-layered and above Immortal Emperors also sensed the powerful aura of the Green Destiny Immortal Emperor and his companions, uncertain whether the other party was friend or foe.

Only the recently resurrected master of the Black Prison, his face changed drastically and exclaimed, "The secluded Green Destiny Immortal Emperor, Heavenly Cloud Immortal Emperor, and Thundercloud Immortal Emperor of Black Prison Peak have emerged!"

The Silent Death Emperor was shocked upon hearing this, "Sect Master, what should we do?"

The Black Prison Master said in a deep voice, "I haven’t completely recovered and can’t contend with them. It’s best to avoid them for the time being."

With that, the two disappeared.

In the depths of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

In the depths of an ancient grand hall.

The mysterious individual lit an incense stick, inserted it into an incense burner full of gray-black ash, turned around, looked at the Green Destiny Immortal Emperor and his group, and smiled.

"Those Ancient Immortal Emperors secluded on Black Prison Peak have actually emerged; this is indeed unexpected. It seems I must plan ahead."

Saying this, the person disappeared.

...

Black Prison Peak.

Ye Feng and Hu Feifei did not go to find the Ninety-layer Immortal Emperor acquainted with the Silent Death Emperor, but instead searched for the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor in a dense black pine forest.

"How annoying!" Hu Feifei propped her face with the Hunyuan Staff, pouting, "Where on earth is the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor? Can’t find him no matter how hard we look?"

"Don’t be impatient, stay calm."

Ye Feng gently patted Hu Feifei’s head, "The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor can understand the past and present and excels in divination. If he’s willing to meet us, he might appear at this very moment."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A strong wind blew through the dense forest in front, lifting up a large area of dead branches and leaves, mixing the air with a lot of black soil powder, turning it a light black.

"What’s that!"

Hu Feifei stared intently and discovered a strange figure in the black wind and shouted.

"It’s the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor."

Ye Feng held back Hu Feifei, pointing to the phantom silhouette within the black wind, faintly resembling a butterfly, maintaining the wind in an eternal state.

"Junior Ye Feng, pays respect to the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor."

Ye Feng clasped his hands.

"What do you want to know?" The voice of the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor emerged from the black wind.

"The list of those top criminals who escaped from Black Prison Peak." Ye Feng said.

"I fear getting entangled in karma and cannot tell you."

The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor refused.

"Are you afraid of the retaliation from that Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor hiding in the shadows?" Ye Feng asked.

"Yes." The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor responded.

"The other party is a Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor, so it’s normal for you to fear retaliation. Do you know the identity and origin of the Black Prison Master? This person is merely an Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor and poses no threat to you."

Ye Feng asked again.

"Black Prison Master?" The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor fell silent for a moment, in the midst of deduction, "Oh, you’re talking about the one who created the Black Prison outside, the Immortal Emperors inside Black Prison Peak know him by the name Little Blackie."

"Little Blackie?" Ye Feng was stunned.

"Little Blackie is a black venomous wasp that transformed into a human, but since his true form is a black wasp, those who know him naturally call him Little Blackie."

The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor explained.

"Where is the castle where that person resides?" Ye Feng asked, preparing to investigate.

"Follow me."

The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor swiftly flew ahead leading the way, and in less than an hour, the three arrived at a long-abandoned small castle, with the ground overgrown with small black pines.

"Anything else you wish to ask?"

The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor inquired.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to know which of those Ancient Immortal Emperors in Black Prison Peak are here to live in seclusion, and which are imprisoned villains."

"Good and evil, you must discern for yourself."

The Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor finished speaking, his figure gradually fading until it completely vanished, as if he had never appeared.

In front of the castle.

Reflecting on the words of the Heaven’s Mandate Immortal Emperor before he left, Ye Feng suddenly laughed, "Indeed, good and evil should be distinguished by myself, not by what others say, one must have their own opinions."

Saying this, he took out the Black Compass.

With this device replaying past scenes of others, he could distinguish whether the other party was good or evil, without needing to follow others’ judgments.

"Let’s go, to Little Blackie’s castle."

Ye Feng pushed open the heavy iron gate and, with Hu Feifei, entered the castle filled with a foul stench, where they searched for half a day and obtained many clues.

By using the Black Compass to rewind scenes from the past years, Ye Feng finally discovered how the Black Prison Master escaped.

In the scene.

It was a time long, long ago.

The Black Prison Master was directing his subordinates to move bricks, constructing a castle to confine prisoners.

At that moment, the Black Prison Master unearthed a stone tablet, learning a method to leave the Black Prison using the fur of a Black Prison Demonic Beast. Overjoyed and astonished, he quickly worked out a plan.

Shortly after, he successfully broke free.

The whole process was swift, everything seemed to come naturally, making Ye Feng’s expression turn unusual.

"For people who have already left the Black Prison, unless they’re incredibly bored, they wouldn’t possibly return to the Black Continent to bury a stone tablet engraved with the escape method here."

"So, boldly guessing, it should be the work of that Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor orchestrating from behind the scenes, intending to let the prisoners from the Black Prison escape. But why?"

Ye Feng fell into deep thought.

Now, having clarified the true identity and escape process of the Black Prison Master, what’s left is the Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor known to Silent Death Emperor.

"Being a Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor as well, that person should know something, right?"

Thinking so, Ye Feng led Hu Feifei out of the castle, heading towards the destination guided by the map of the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor.

Half a day later.

Halfway up Black Prison Peak.

Here, ten thousand miles high above the ground, the howling winds kept even black pines from growing, with sand and stones flying everywhere, an ordinary Immortal Emperor couldn’t possibly survive.

"The living conditions are too harsh!"

Ye Feng couldn’t help but complain.

"Sect Leader, I see the castle." Hu Feifei pointed to a nearby platform, where a small three-story castle stood, occupying less than half an acre. It was uncertain whether anyone lived there.

"Indeed, it’s a castle."

Ye Feng, seizing Hu Feifei, accelerated forward, finally reaching the destination, discovering this castle to be ancient and weathered, its doors tightly shut, protected by a special force.

Thud thud thud!

Ye Feng forcefully knocked on the gate.

"Who are you?"

A woman’s voice sounded from behind the door.

"Huh?" Ye Feng and Hu Feifei exchanged glances, surprised to find that the ninety-layered Immortal Emperor known to Silent Death Emperor was actually a woman, leaving them astonished.
