80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled-Chapter 347: Words Left by Emperor Yuan
Black Skeleton displayed extremely powerful strength. One against six, it directly wiped out the other party.
Then, it devoured all the soul flames to form its own golden soul flame.
It was equivalent to breaking through to the Sovereign Immortal Realm.
He was only one realm away from a five-colored skeleton.
"You guys are both very powerful. If you guys entered the depths of the Death Realm early, I reckon that you guys are already five-colored skeletons by now," Lin Jiufeng looked at Black Skeleton and said.
"It's not too late to go now." Black Skeleton picked up the map given by the red skeleton and handed it to Lin Jiufeng.
"This is a map drawn by a senior after he entered the depths of the Death Realm and was lucky enough to escape. It records his knowledge and routes in the depths of the Death Realm," Black Skeleton said.
Lin Jiufeng took the map and looked at it carefully.
This map was very crudely drawn. It was drawn by a person and was very simple. It marked some of the most dangerous places along the way.
"Entering the depths of the Death Realm from here, we have to pass through the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, cross the Yin River, and enter the Death City. Then, we have to walk out of Death City. Only then can we be considered to have stepped into the depths of the Death Realm," Lin Jiufeng analyzed the contents of the map and said.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton looked over, especially at the Yin River. It was very big on the map. There were many huge waves on it.
"This is the first time I know that there's actually such a huge river in the Death Realm," White Skeleton said in surprise.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Jiufeng put away the map and strode away.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton followed Lin Jiufeng and left without looking back.
As for the castle on the plains, it had been reduced to ruins and bones all over the place. No one cared about it.
Perhaps a new faction would soon change and a new castle would rise. Or perhaps no one would care about this place and the ruins would disappear with the wind.
This was the Death Realm, a blatant law of the forest. There were no rules or principles to speak of at all.
When one became stronger, they could make their own rules.
Crossing the plains, Lin Jiufeng directly entered a vast forest. The forest was filled with strange stones and lush trees. There were simply countless towering trees, so many that the sky couldn't be seen at all.
There were also many bone creatures in the forest. Lin Jiufeng flew in the air with the two skeletons. No one dared to stop them.
The forest was huge and spread for a long distance. There were powerful undead creatures in some places.
Lin Jiufeng didn't disturb them. He just wanted to enter the depths of the Death Realm as soon as possible.
Because of Black Skeleton, there weren't any problems along the way. After all, a golden soul powerhouse was someone that normal skeletons usually didn't want to provoke.
Moreover, Black Skeleton was obviously going to enter the depths of the Death Realm, so it had no conflict with them.
"It's all thanks to Black Skeleton this time. There were several skeletons with golden soul flames that targeted us, but they were chased away by Black Skeleton," Lin Jiufeng said with emotion.
He wasn't afraid of fighting, but it would take up a lot of time. Moreover, this was a meaningless fight.
Hence, it was also a blessing for Black Skeleton to deter them.
"It's nothing much. I was just lucky enough to break through. They don't want to be enemies with me, so it saves us a lot of trouble." Black Skeleton laughed and waved its hand humbly.
But it inadvertently leaned against White Skeleton, emitting a golden light and blazing flames.
White Skeleton said angrily, "I'm about to break through too. What's there to be proud of? You devoured the soul flames of a few skeletons, that's all. You're pulling out the seedlings to help it grow. I'm advancing step by step, unlike you. I will also enter the golden soul flame level in three days."
"Jealous!"
"This is blatant jealousy."
"I'm still too outstanding. I can understand why you're jealous of me now. After all, I'm golden and you're purple. The difference is quite big," Black Skeleton said magnanimously.
White Skeleton was so angry that it couldn't speak. If it weren't for Lin Jiufeng beside it, it would have definitely whipped out a knife and slashed Black Skeleton.
"Alright, we are about to leave this huge forest. According to the map, there should be a huge divine mountain up ahead," Lin Jiufeng looked at the map and said softly.
As for the competition between the two skeletons, he didn't have the leisure to care.
"What does this divine mountain do?" Black Skeleton asked curiously.
"I don't know. I only know that the word 'reincarnation' is written on the divine mountain!" Lin Jiufeng said.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton lowered their heads and looked at the map together.
They carefully observed the crude map.
White Skeleton suddenly said, "I seem to have heard of the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation."
Black Skeleton fell into deep thought.
Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and asked, "What have you heard?"
"It's said that in the Death Realm, there's a Divine Mountain of Reincarnation. The skeletons that enter have a chance of seeing their previous lives. Of course, there's also a chance of dying. Some skeletons entered and died, while some skeletons entered and saw their previous lives. Then, they also died," White Skeleton said.
Lin Jiufeng blinked. Why were they all dead?
"In any case, very few people can come out alive, so not many skeletons are willing to go to the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation," Black Skeleton said.
"I didn't expect the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation to appear here, and it's blocking in front of us." White Skeleton said as it walked. Then, it raised its head. The world suddenly opened up and a huge divine mountain came into view.
A large word was carved on the divine mountain—Reincarnation!
The huge divine mountain was majestic. The spiritual energy was vast and mighty. Immortal cranes danced on it, and jade grass covered the ground. It was like a paradise.
It was completely different from the tone of this world. It was as if he was in the mortal world.
But it was only limited to this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation. It wasn't like this anywhere else.
"Must we pass through this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?" Black Skeleton frowned and asked.
Lin Jiufeng took out the map and said, "Yes, because the Yin River is behind this mountain."
"Can't we fly over?" White Skeleton suggested.
"You can give it a try." Lin Jiufeng didn't reject this idea.
White Skeleton immediately flew up, wanting to fly over the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.
But after flying for a while, the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation shot out a terrifying light, causing the void to tremble. It directly formed a huge cage that shrouded down, wanting to imprison White Skeleton.
Lin Jiufeng had been paying attention all this time. Seeing this, he directly drew his sword, raised his brows, and waved it.
A sword light burst out and slashed onto this terrifying light, shattering the cage and allowing White Skeleton to escape.
"How terrifying!" White Skeleton fell down and said with lingering fear.
It felt that it was going to be imprisoned for eternity just now.
This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Its life wasn't in its own control anymore. It was trapped in a cage like a little bird.
If it weren't for Lin Jiufeng's help, it really wouldn't have been able to break free in the short term.
"From the looks of it, we have to enter this Divine of Reincarnation Mountain. We won't be able to fly over," Black Skeleton muttered.
"Then let's go in and take a look. We need to be on guard and watch out for each other. If we help each other, there should be no problem," White Skeleton said. It no longer cared about its grudges with Black Skeleton.
"Alright, let's go in then." Lin Jiufeng nodded. He had no objections. In any case, he had to go in.
"I finally understand why so many people outside are unwilling to enter the depths of the Death Realm. This is too dangerous," Black Skeleton lamented.
"Only skeletons who are very confident in themselves will choose to explore the secrets in the depths of the Death Realm without hesitation," White Skeleton said.
"My only goal in entering the depths of the Death Realm is to find the memories of my previous life and then live a second life. I want to enter the mortal realm to take a look, not stay in the Death Realm forever," Black Skeleton said firmly.
"Me too. After walking out of my comfort zone, I don't have a burden anymore. There's no turning back now. I have to reach the depths of the Death Realm this time. Even if I die, I won't hesitate," White Skeleton said firmly.
Lin Jiufeng ignored the conversation between the two skeletons. A line of words appeared before his eyes.
Very familiar words. It had been a few days since it last appeared.
[Do you wish to Sign-In at the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?]
Lin Jiufeng looked at the two skeletons that were continuing to talk and agreed in his heart.
"Sign in!"
[Sign-In successful. Received a wisp of the Undying Substance!]
A special energy appeared in Lin Jiufeng's palm.
He asked, puzzled, "What exactly is this Undying Substance?"
"Undying Substance is a special substance in the Death Realm. It's very rare and can help you cultivate or recover your life force. Undying Substance is very special."
This explanation made Lin Jiufeng grip the Undying Substance tightly and absorb it into his body. He didn't move for the time being.
He looked at the two skeletons and asked, "Do you guys know of something called Undying Substance in the Death Realm?"
Black Skeleton shook its head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"Me neither." White Skeleton also thought seriously for a while. It had indeed never heard of it.
Lin Jiufeng thought about how they had always stayed in the outer area. They were ill-informed and only knew a little more than Lin Jiufeng.
Hence, it was normal that they didn't know about the Undying Substance.
Lin Jiufeng put aside this question. Since he had obtained the Undying Substance, he would study it properly in the future. The most important thing now was to enter the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation and then walk out to the next place.
"Let's go in." Lin Jiufeng took the lead and walked into the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.
After stepping into the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, Lin Jiufeng felt a breeze that was as warm as spring.
The wind was like the wind from Yangzhou City under the fireworks in March.
The sunlight was like that during the noon of winter. The warmest sunlight shone on a person's body. It was soft and comfortable.
Compared to the death energy in the outside world, Lin Jiufeng seemed to have arrived in the Jiangnan area.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton followed him in.
They felt the wind blowing past their souls and the sunlight warming their divine souls. Their entire skeleton bodies felt like it was floating.
"So comfortable." White Skeleton's voice became soft.
Black Skeleton's mentality was relatively firm. It looked around and asked curiously, "Why is the difference between this place and the Death Realm so huge?"
In the distance, there were also immortal cranes eating leisurely. They spread their wings and flew. The willow trees drooped down, and the birds sang. It was as if they were in the mortal world.
Lin Jiufeng observed his surroundings and said solemnly, "Perhaps this place is related to the mortal realm."
It was obvious that the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation didn't look like a simple place in the Death Realm. It was like the territory of the mortal world, but it accidentally came to the Death Realm.
Of course, this was Lin Jiufeng's guess. It might not be accurate, so he needed to find evidence.
Lin Jiufeng walked in the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation. He walked along the back of the divine mountain and welcomed the breeze as he walked to the center of the mountain.
Here, the mountain seemed to have grown a face.
There were two holes that were like eyes. A mountain range stood beneath them. It wasn't a lot, just like a nose. Under the nose was a huge pit in the shape of a mouth.
"Is this the mountain spirit of the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"Not necessarily, but it's obvious that there must be a secret in these holes," Black Skeleton followed behind Lin Jiufeng and said.
"Let's go in and take a look and investigate," White Skeleton said.
"Alright, the two of you follow me. Be on guard. This place isn't as wonderful as we think it is," Lin Jiufeng said solemnly. He seemed to have discovered something. He felt that this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation wasn't as comfortable and warm as it looked.
Walking along the mountain range that was like a nose, they arrived at the holes that represented eyes.
Looking down, this was a bottomless cave that connected to the entire Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.
In the dark cave, there was a cold wind roaring angrily beneath. It was unfathomable and sounded very terrifying.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were so scared that their soul flames shrank by a size.
The timidity in their bones appeared once again.
"Let's go down and take a look." Lin Jiufeng was fearless. He began to walk down the dark cave.
This wasn't difficult for Lin Jiufeng.
But when he went down, a huge cold wind rushed out of the dark cave, turning into a human face that rushed over.
Lin Jiufeng frowned. He transformed his finger into a sword and slashed directly.
The angry face of the cold wind was split into two and scattered.
"This wind made of Yin energy is about to become sentient," Black Skeleton said.
"You are a golden soul flame, you should be braver," Lin Jiufeng said without looking back, continuing to advance.
Black Skeleton coughed and straightened its skeleton body. It followed Lin Jiufeng's footsteps and suppressed its fear.
White Skeleton walked at the back. It was also slowly adapting to its fear.
"Say, why are we born with this kind of fear? Why are we afraid whenever we see something new and don't dare to go out?" White Skeleton asked depressedly.
Black Skeleton sighed. This was also its weakness, a weakness that was difficult to treat.
"Stop chatting, I saw a stone tablet in front!" Lin Jiufeng walked in front. Around a corner, he discovered a spacious hall.
Bones were everywhere, like a graveyard. These bones were all sorts of colors. The most strange thing was that Lin Jiufeng saw the bones of a five-colored skeleton.
It was a hand bone with five colors. It was very conspicuous.
This meant that a five-colored skeleton had once been killed here.
Or perhaps, it was injured here and lost an arm.
Lin Jiufeng swept his gaze and stared at a stone tablet.
This stone tablet stood in a corner of this hall. It was made of bronze and was trapped by chains. There were many words carved on it.
But… with the passing of time, it was completely covered with dust.
"This stone tablet is bound by such thick chains. What does it mean?" Black Skeleton came in and said in surprise when it saw the chains that were even thicker than its entire body.
"The material of this chain is also quite good. It's a type of special divine stone that's forged into a chain. Even golden soul flames won't be able to cut it easily," White Skeleton stroked the chain that was covered in dust and said in surprise.
"There are words on this." Black Skeleton reached out and brushed away some dust.
A line of words appeared.
[If I become Emperor Yuan in the future, I will repay with the blooming of peach blossoms!]
When Lin Jiufeng saw this line, his eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at it.
These were the words left behind by Emperor Yuan.
Back then, Emperor Yuan also came here.
And he even left his words on this bronze tablet.
