If you think about it from a different perspective, Ye Feng's thoughts may not be without reason. Just based on what he saw earlier with the Titan Race's bloodthirsty behavior, he could sense something was off. Those terrifying Ancient Demon Gods, while surprisingly powerful in combat, fought almost entirely through brute force.
Using sheer strength to defeat the enemy, there was no skill involved. Coupled with their savage actions, Ye Feng could almost conclude that they were a race devoid of intelligence. A more vivid analogy would be that they were strong in body but simple-minded; those giants had nothing to offer beyond their innate brute strength.
Based on this point, it could be assessed that they lacked any powers akin to magic and had no intellect to construct something that could be called the Titan's Abyss! After all, from what he observed upon entering the Underground Palace—the vivid murals and the scale of the Underground Palace—
To build such a relic underground required not only extraordinary ability but also considerable intellect! No matter how one looked at it, those Titan Race beings, resembling idiots, could never have accomplished such a marvel!
On this basis, Ye Feng was able to analyze another bold hypothesis: this Underground Palace was not built by the Titan Race. To be precise, even if they contributed to its construction, they could not have been its designers.
Someone must have assisted the Titan Race in creating such a marvel, and in that era, who could have enslaved the Titan Race? What kind of remarkable Divine Being would that be? And what purpose did this Divine Being have in doing so?
What Ye Feng found difficult to comprehend at this moment was precisely this point. He firmly believed that someone else was responsible for trapping him and not some power from the murals!
Being able to analyze things to this extent was beyond what an ordinary youth could achieve. Even the wisest elder from the Eastern Continent might not see through it as clearly under such circumstances. Ye Feng had truly seen through worldly matters in his past life, granting him greater foresight than many others!
However, even if he recognized this foresight, it would be useless if the Divine Being that trapped him refused to reveal itself or let him go!
Ye Feng felt a surge of anger as he sensed the chaotic energy within this Mural World. This energy was precisely what sealed him away. Normally, he would have been delighted because absorbing such energy would undoubtedly lead to significant progress in his cultivation.
But just moments ago, he had already tried. Although he manifested himself in human form within this world's clouds, he could only sense everything around him without being able to engage in deeper communication with this world. In other words, he was like a wisp of air in relation to this world.
And air cannot affect this world in any way; no matter how loudly he shouted, those Titan Race beings on the ground could not hear him. Even if they looked up, they wouldn't see Ye Feng; he was as if he were virtual—he should not exist in this world at all!
This peculiar state made Ye Feng increasingly anxious. He struggled to calm himself down, but it was futile; the more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. An endless restlessness began to spread from his Divine Soul, causing his human form to sway precariously as if ready to explode at any moment!
"Since you don't intend to let me go! Then I'll take matters into my own hands!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and decided not to place his hopes on that elusive existence anymore. He began to concentrate, preparing to exert his Divine Soul Power against the virtual shackles of this world!
According to his deductions, the energy trapping him in this world was minimal—just a small portion; otherwise, he would have long abandoned any thoughts of escape. This small portion was precisely what he needed to break free after a Tian Yi night!
Regardless of anything else, rather than waiting here for death and letting others control his fate, he preferred to find a way himself. In reality, this was also his only option! Just as he intended to do so, a miracle occurred!
A voice echoed in his ears! It jolted him completely!
"Kid, being restless is not good. Over the years, many talented individuals have tried to enter this world but lacked the ability. Yet I recognized your potential and allowed you in; you are foolishly nitpicking and wanting to leave quickly—how stupid!"
The voice revealed no discernible good or bad and couldn't be aged by its tone; all he could tell from its intonation was that this being was either an arrogant fool or a hidden great Divine Being!
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Feng was taken aback. He had prepared himself to shout a couple of times earlier without anyone responding, and now that he wanted to take matters into his own hands, this voice suddenly appeared. No wonder he was annoyed!
However, compared to the previous situation, he was more inclined to believe that the one who made this sound was certainly an extraordinary figure. After all, in such an ancient Underground Palace, who else could communicate with him through Vital Energy but someone significant?
"I wonder who you are, senior, and why you have trapped me?" Ye Feng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. The appearance of this voice confirmed that his earlier suspicions were correct. Regardless of who created this Underground Palace, it at least proved that the mysteries of the Mural World were unrelated to the Titan Race but rather connected to the person who spoke.
"Hehehe, kid, it's too early for you to inquire about me. I didn't expect you to not be scared off by the earlier scene. Just from that point alone, you are still qualified to speak with me!" The arrogant and boastful Echo came again.
To Ye Feng, if this being wasn't truly from a Divine Sect, then it must be suffering from delusions of grandeur! However, at this moment, he was at their mercy and dared not act recklessly. He could only force a strained smile and reply, "Senior, what do you mean? I just want some clarity!"
"Oh? Clarity? Then tell me what you want to understand," the Echo responded somewhat normally this time.
Listening to this, Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Wasn't that a pointless question? You trapped me for no reason and made me witness that disgusting scene; I just want to understand what your mysterious antics are all about!
Of course, while he thought this way, he still respectfully asked, "Could you please inform me why you have kept me here? If it's merely for amusement, I hope you will let me go soon as I have many matters to attend to!"
This statement was flawless and polite in every aspect. If the other party wasn't intentionally making things difficult for him, there would be nothing more to say. Unfortunately, Ye Feng had underestimated the situation. The Titan's Abyss had been sealed for at least ten thousand years.
With such a long time in a Mural World and still having such a voice present, didn't that mean its owner was at least an Old Monster who had lived for over ten thousand years? Such an Old Monster was certainly beyond Ye Feng's ability to assess.
As expected, the Echo once again mocked him without restraint: "Let you go? Why would I do that? Although you have some background, going out would mean certain death for you. If anything happens in this Titan's Abyss, you won't have the ability to protect yourself! Staying here allows me to keep an eye on you!"
Though the words were harsh, they at least indicated that this being did not intend to harm him. With this realization, Ye Feng felt somewhat relieved but then became angry again. This creature was meddling too much; if going out meant death, that was still his choice! He couldn't possibly be trapped here for life just because of its one-sided claims.
The feeling of having his Divine Soul out of body was uncomfortable; it felt like being very hungry yet having no appetite for anything—a very awkward sensation!
After some thought, Ye Feng said again: "Then there's no need for your concern, senior! I still wish to leave quickly; I hope you will lift the confinement!" He understood now that relying on this being to release him would require some verbal finesse!
However, it seemed that the owner of the Echo did not intend to let him go so easily. Upon hearing his words, the Echo arrived instantly!
"You ungrateful thing! Do you think I'm just playing with you? With your abilities—even with that Old Fart in your ring—triggering any mechanism here would lead to your demise!"
At these words, Ye Feng was thrown into chaos! His expression changed as he hadn't expected this being could see through the secret within his ring! Very few could discern Xuan Lao's presence within his ring; those who could were undoubtedly extraordinary powerhouses!
So this meant that this being was also a hidden super powerhouse? Realizing this fact made Ye Feng much more cautious. Facing such a figure left him no room for arrogance. At the same time, he began to resent Xuan Lao—having been seen through like that and yet the Old Fart remained silent!
Of course, he also knew that Xuan Lao was currently in a state of slumber. The so-called complaints were merely fleeting thoughts, and soon he began to ponder who exactly the master of Echo was and what their true intentions for keeping him around might be. Was it really just to save their own life?
But what benefit would that bring to them?
Regardless of his past life or this one, Ye Feng understood one principle: there is no such thing as free kindness; it is either deceit or theft. In this world, no one owes anything to anyone, and no one has the obligation to actively save another's life. Even the kindest person, when faced with such an unknown situation, would inevitably change their heart.
Therefore, Ye Feng did not simply assume that the master of Echo was pure-hearted. After hesitating for a moment, he respectfully asked, "Since you do not wish for me to go out and seek death, could you perhaps answer some of my questions?"
Ye Feng was not unaware that this Underground Palace was fraught with danger. His desire to leave quickly stemmed from concern for his companions and Cheng Ze. After all, they had entered together, and if something went wrong, losing their bodies would be disastrous!
The master of Echo seemed to have anticipated his worries and replied straightforwardly, "There is no need for you to engage in any verbal sparring with me. I can tell you clearly that your companions and your physical body are currently safe, as long as they do not seek trouble themselves!"
Given this person's unfathomable strength, Ye Feng naturally believed him. However, he was also taken aback and said, "From what you say, it seems you can perceive everything within this Underground Palace. If I may be so bold, could you please provide more detailed information?"
Asking about the situation of his companions and his physical body seemed reasonable. However, the master of Echo appeared to be rather eccentric; he replied curtly, "I am not your eyes. You are being too presumptuous. I refuse to answer that question!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh in frustration. At this point, he fully understood that this fellow was undoubtedly an old trickster buried under dust for who knows how many Ten Thousand Years. Speaking in such a tone clearly marked him as a genuine Old Monster!
