Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452: Conspirator’s Warning
"What is this?" Hu Feifei was very curious, leaning in and looking closely from side to side.
"Let me study it first." Ye Feng’s Divine Sense infiltrated it, and after a moment, he unfurled it, projecting a large light screen in mid-air.
This was an image from a long time ago.
At that time, the Immortal Realm was a prosperous era, boasting many Immortal Emperors above the Thirty-third Layer, each very powerful, exuding terrifying Law auras.
But suddenly, a great war erupted!
No one knew the reason for the war.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei only saw the process of this war breaking out; it was a deadly battle among many Immortal Emperors, not fighting over anything, just a battle of life and death.
This made Ye Feng very puzzled.
Wars usually have a trigger, but this war that erupted long ago had no apparent reason or sign.
The battle shattered the Immortal Realm.
Countless lives perished.
After a very long time, some broken fragments of the Immortal Realm fell into the depths of the Starry Sky, becoming the Hundred Great Immortal Domains in the lower realms, while others formed into even smaller Immortal Domains.
Of course, not all Immortal Domains were formed this way; some were formed independently.
After the great war, nearly all the Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses perished, and there were no more Immortal Emperors in the world.
"Hehehe!"
In the images, several mysterious figures appeared suddenly, using special gourds to absorb Laws scattered throughout the Immortal Realm, turning them into crystals and storing them away.
Afterward, the Immortal Realm restored its previous order.
Succeeding cultivators continued to work hard in their cultivation, becoming powerhouses above Immortal Emperors, and yet another era of prosperity arrived.
Then, another world-ending war broke out.
In the subsequent battle images, Ye Feng even saw the figure of Evil Heavenly Venerable.
The battle continued, countless powerhouses died in battle, and their scattered Law fragments were collected by those mysterious figures with gourds, eventually becoming solid Law Crystals.
This was where the images ended.
Ye Feng calculated, saying, "This was at least over a billion years ago, the era in which Evil Heavenly Venerable lived, was one of these recurring tragic times, and Evil Heavenly Venerable was eventually harvested by the mysterious figures as well."
He was very puzzled.
Why did the powerhouses like Evil Heavenly Venerable suddenly erupt into fighting? The images didn’t seem to show them competing over anything, just revealing combat scenes.
"Were they fighting over the Realm Source?"
Ye Feng thought of this point.
For top-ranked Immortal Emperors like Evil Heavenly Venerable, the Realm Source and Law Crystals are the most enticing things, capable of enhancing themselves.
At this moment, new images emerged.
After collecting a large number of Law Crystals, those shadows returned to the Immortal Realm, recombined the Immortal Realm, and established a new era of prosperity, transforming themselves into Heavenly Venerables who enlightened the world.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was dumbfounded.
No wonder Heavenly Emperor Lingtian said there were no true Heavenly Venerables in the Immortal Realm; this was the reason.
Come to think of it, the main bodies of Heavenly Venerables couldn’t exist within the Universe; otherwise, they’d explode it. Those mysterious shadows impersonated Heavenly Venerables to delude the people, absorb the Power of Faith, and promote a new era of prosperity.
Once the prosperous era arrives, they can harvest.
"So, does this mean opening the Three Realms was a mistake?" Ye Feng muttered.
"No, you were not wrong." A voice came from not far away, and Ye Feng looked towards the sound, finding it was Heavenly Emperor Lingtian approaching alone.
Ye Feng asked, "Why?"
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian said, "Do you think if you hadn’t opened the Three Realms, the prosperous era wouldn’t have come? The Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Realms have been stable for more than a million years, already accumulating a lot of energy to meet the conditions for a prosperous era. Even if you did nothing, the prosperous era would still arrive."
Ye Feng sighed, "But by opening the Three Realms, haven’t we accelerated the arrival of the prosperous era?"
Facing Ye Feng, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, looking at the distant azure sky, said slowly:
"How many years have you been cultivating? The arrival of the prosperous era is most advantageous for you, isn’t it? Make good use of these years! You are the only living Invincible Supreme, and once you advance beyond the Ninety Layer Realm, you will have the strength to trip up the ones behind the scenes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized.
Indeed!
It has only been a few years since he took charge of Misty Sect, and after a few more years of diligent cultivation, he might advance beyond the ninetieth layer of the Creation Realm.
By then, he would be virtually invincible within the Universe.
Just then, a gust of wind appeared near Heavenly Emperor Lingtian and Ye Feng, transforming into a short figure holding a staff and wearing a bizarre black robe, who said grimly, "Your discussion seems to have gone too far."
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian looked at the man, not surprised.
Ye Feng scrutinized the person, only to find that the black robe was composed of the Death Law, effectively concealing the person’s true face and identity.
"A conspirator?" Ye Feng tentatively said.
"You could say that." The black-robed figure nodded, "Of course, I prefer calling us ’Breakers’."
"Breakers? You’re unwilling to be harvested by those who impersonate Heavenly Venerables in the Immortal Realm, so you hide in the Starry Sky World thinking you can break the game?" Ye Feng laughed, shrugging.
"What do you think we’re hiding for? To eke out a miserable existence? Heh, you haven’t experienced the misery of that era; you have no idea what we’ve sacrificed just to stay alive. Only by surviving can we wait until the end and successfully break the game," said the black-robed figure.
Ye Feng looked at Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, "Elder, it seems you know this conspirator."
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian nodded, "This is an ancient relic from my era, very powerful, considered a leader among all conspirators."
Ye Feng focused on the black-robed figure, "I’m curious, did the conspirator who attacked me last time die? If not, please tell them I will kill them."
"That person is not in the same camp as me," the black-robed figure shook their head.
This left Ye Feng surprised.
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian explained, "Strictly speaking, I was once a member of the conspirators, and all conspirators are divided into two camps. This one is in the same camp as me."
Ye Feng frowned, "Why are there different camps? Is it because of different goals and ideologies?"
The black-robed figure explained:
"Conspirators were never divided into camps initially; we merely wished to avoid the world-ending wars and survive until becoming top-ranked powerhouses."
"Once our strength is enough, we can break the game, restoring the previous order. However, over time, differences arose."
"This is because, as more cultivators ascend beyond the Thirty-third Layer, it suppresses the Laws of other cultivators, making breakthroughs difficult."
"In this way, some people became dissatisfied."
"Once they sensed someone breaking through to the Thirty-four Layer, they would transform into a shadow to stop them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood.
Some conspirators were indifferent, only wanting to break the game, while others sought to sever the path for future cultivators to fulfill themselves.
Regarding such behavior, Ye Feng expressed understanding but did not agree with it.
"Be careful when someone from your camp breaks through to the Thirty-four Layer, the other camp’s conspirators are not friendly and will act against you," the black-robed figure turned to leave, "Do not delve too deeply into the world-ending wars; knowing too much without sufficient strength is not beneficial."
Watching the black-robed figure, Ye Feng suddenly asked, "Do you know about the Realm Source?"
The black-robed figure paused briefly, turned to look at Ye Feng, and replied, "It’s certainly needed."
"I have a method to create a Realm Source; I wonder if you’re interested." Ye Feng said, hands behind his back, a smile on his lips.
Both the black-robed figure and Heavenly Emperor Lingtian were surprised, looking at Ye Feng, "Let’s hear it."
"I won’t give it for free," Ye Feng said, extending his hand, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together.
This was a sign of asking for compensation.
