In various parts of the Black Continent, black mountains occasionally rise from the ground, reaching heights of several thousand zhang. The black soil needed to bake black bricks is excavated from there.
"Princess, let’s go over there!"
Ye Feng took hold of Hu Feifei’s hand and stepped onto the black land of the Black Continent, imdiately feeling a sense of desolate wilderness rushing at them.
"What a gloomy and eerie place, it’s like countless strong ones have died here, resembling a graveyard." Hu Feifei couldn’t help but frown with disdain.
"This is the mid-level area of the Black Prison. Over ti, countless Immortal Emperors have died here, making it naturally gloomy and eerie." Ye Feng explained.
"Indeed." Hu Feifei nodded.
"Let’s go. First, to the Black Mountain." Ye Feng pointed to a nearby black mountain and set off first.
In the Black Forest, apart from black trees resembling cedars, there were no other species. It was eerily quiet, which was quite frightening.
Rustle rustle!
The two walked on the ground covered with black pine needles, discovering so smaller plants growing, but they were also black cedars, with no other species present at all.
"The biodiversity here is very singular."
Ye Feng stated.
He released a few mice, which quickly ran and jumped around, biting into the pinecones on the ground, eating the seeds inside. But soon, an anomaly occurred.
The mice let out strange squeaks, their stomachs rapidly bloating until they burst. Their bodies quickly decayed, and a small pine tree grew from the spot.
"Even bitten seeds can sprout, and they grow quickly. It’s really strange."
Hu Feifei muttered.
Ye Feng thought for a mont and said, "I understand now. The black cedars here have a special bloodline, enabling them to grow rapidly. If there’s an Ancient Immortal Emperor who has died nearby, their remains would beco nutrients for the pine trees."
Hu Feifei asked, "What’s the use of that?"
Ye Feng didn’t answer imdiately. Instead, he walked around and soon discovered several fallen black cedars nearby that had decayed into ash, appearing like soil.
"I understand now."
He said, "The decayed black cedars can beco black soil, which can then be used to build black castles, imprisoning those foreign Ancient Immortal Emperors."
Thus, Ye Feng finally understood the origin of the black soil.
"Oh, I see now."
Hu Feifei realized, accompanying Ye Feng through the silent woods. After a while, they finally reached the nearest black mountain.
It stood about three thousand zhang tall, resembling a pyramid, with a bare surface and not a single tree.
The two quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.
"The higher you stand, the farther you see."
Ye Feng sighed, looking around and finally spotting so black castles in the lush black forest. They didn’t look very tall, each covering less than a hundred acres, much smaller than the larger castles on the outer layer, imprisoning Immortal Emperors of fifty layers and above.
"Let’s go chat with those people."
Ye Feng, holding Hu Feifei, leaped forward like a great roc spreading its wings, gliding from high up until they soon landed near the closest black castle.
"Sigh, it’s ti to move bricks again."
A voice full of apathy ca from inside the castle.
"If you don’t move bricks, you’ll die, no choice."
"I really don’t want to move bricks!"
Voices continued to be heard.
Soon, while hiding in the forest, Ye Feng saw the large iron gate of the small castle slowly open, and seven pitch-black figures erged, so human, so with distinct features of the Foreign Clan, all Ancient Immortal Emperors of fifty layers and above.
The strongest among them was a fifty-five-layered Immortal Emperor.
"Wow, so much upgrade energy!"
Hu Feifei’s eyes lit up, licking her lips, eager to smash and devour them to enhance her cultivation level.
"Let’s go and stop them."
Ye Feng said.
"Got it." Hu Feifei brandished the Hunyuan Staff, ready to charge alongside Ye Feng, but at that mont, Ye Feng abruptly stopped, holding her back with his hand.
"What’s wrong?" Hu Feifei asked, puzzled.
"Look over there, what is that?" Ye Feng pointed to a black soil mound near the castle, where a humanoid creature, stiffly moving like a robot, was doing sothing.
Hu Feifei looked imdiately.
At first glance, the humanoid creature appeared to be a two-ter-tall black robot. But upon closer inspection, it was evident that its body was composed of countless black soil blocks, each with an edge length of one milliter.
"What on earth is that?"
Hu Feifei was utterly perplexed.
Then, an even stranger thing happened.
The black humanoid creature reached down and scooped up a handful of black soil, stuffing it into its mouth. Before long, it spat out a black brick, one foot long, half a foot wide, and about two inches thick, with a clang as it hit the ground.
When those seven Ancient Immortal Emperors reached the soil mound, there were already over a hundred black bricks there.
"Sigh, another day of hard labor."
"When will this life co to an end? Had I known this, I wouldn’t have desired immortality. Constantly repeating the act of moving bricks, I’ve almost forgotten how to cultivate."
"How could I not be!"
The several ancient Immortal Emperors picked up the black bricks and stepped into the forest path, not knowing where they were heading.
"Sect Leader, should we follow?"
"Hmm."
The two of them concealed their auras and followed these ancient Immortal Emperors, arriving at a clearing dozens of miles away, where they found countless black bricks piled up.
In the center of the clearing, a building was under construction.
Three fifty-three-layered ancient Immortal Emperors worked tirelessly day and night, stacking the black bricks to gradually construct a brand-new small castle, which would serve as a new prison.
Including the seven carrying bricks, there were a total of ten Immortal Emperors.
"Puh! So they’re building a prison."
Hu Feifei covered her mouth and chuckled.
Ye Feng looked at the piled-up black bricks and noticed that their surfaces were etched with special formations by humanoid black creatures, making the bricks incredibly durable, even high-level Immortal Emperors found them hard to destroy.
"This kind of construction is not bad, it should be copied to build the new structures of Misty Sect."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
Buildings made from similar materials would be more effective than any Sect Protection Array, even if dozens of layered ancient Immortal Emperors attacked, they wouldn’t be able to breach it.
So, Ye Feng stood there observing.
An hour later.
He had already grasped the essence of this formation and how to create similar black soil materials, feeling satisfied, he took Hu Feifei and walked over.
"Newcors are here."
"And there’s a beautiful fairy, huh, how co a forty-seven-layered Immortal Emperor can also arrive at the Black Continent?"
The present ancient Immortal Emperors, upon seeing Ye Feng and Hu Feifei appear, initially rejoiced, then, realizing Hu Feifei was only a forty-seven-layered Immortal Emperor, they couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Boy, what are your nas?"
An ancient Immortal Emperor put down the black bricks in his hands, gathered the others, and approached, all exuding powerful auras, enveloping Ye Feng and Hu Feifei.
"Misty Sect’s Sect Master, Ye Feng."
"Protector of Misty Sect, Hu Feifei."
The two introduced themselves one after the other.
"Heh, this is the first ti we’ve seen newcors introduce their origins, but since you’re detained in the Black Prison like us, your previous identities are lost."
The strongest fifty-five-layered Immortal Emperor said.
"Little beauty, I’m tired, co over and give a back rub, shoulder massage." A fifty-layered Immortal Emperor stared at Hu Feifei, licking his lips.
The other Immortal Emperors laughed lecherously, their eyes sparkling.
After so many years of brick moving here, it was rare to see a supre-grade fairy like Hu Feifei, and just a glance at her piqued their interest.
"Back rub and shoulder massage? Sure!"
Hu Feifei giggled charmingly, walked behind the fifty-layered Immortal Emperor who spoke, and then swung the Hunyuan Staff with all her might.
Bang!
This ancient Immortal Emperor was torn apart, his screams echoing endlessly, shocking the surrounding ancient Immortal Emperors.
"Is this a forty-seven-layered Immortal Emperor?"
"How can she be so terrifying?"
The remaining Immortal Emperors snapped back to reality, imdiately picked up black bricks, and attempted to hurl them at Hu Feifei.
"Did I allow you to move?"
Ye Feng suddenly spoke, raising his fist, instantly unleashing tens of thousands of fist shadows, blasting this group of ancient Immortal Emperors into pieces, then released Dao Fire Incineration, causing them to scream incessantly, unable to regroup.
"Spare us, sir!"
"We know we were wrong."
The ten ancient Immortal Emperors on site pleaded for rcy.
"I’ll ask you a question; if you can’t answer it, you won’t have another chance to move bricks." Ye Feng’s voice was cold, his expression fierce.
"Please ask, sir."
These Immortal Emperors imdiately cooperated.
Ye Feng asked, "You’ve been in the Black Prison for so many years, do you know of anyone managing to escape, and who knows the list of escapees?"
"What, soone successfully escaped?"
"I didn’t know that."
Several of the ancient Immortal Emperors were dumbfounded.
The highest-cultivation fifty-five-layered Immortal Emperor dared not hide anything, loudly said, "I know! There were several escape incidents back then, and I even knew so of those people."
"You know?" Ye Feng scrutinized the fifty-five-layered Immortal Emperor, "What’s your na?"
[Good night!]
