Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When he heard the news of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming again, Lin Jiufeng's heart surged and he couldn't suppress it.

All this time, what Lin Jiufeng missed the most were those early years.

At that time. the spiritual energy in the world hadn't recovered yet, it was still of the old era. A Martial Sage could be considered to be a top powerhouse then. In such an environment, Lin Jiufeng signed in quietly in the Cold Palace. As for the outside world, there was Emperor Yuan to take care of it.

At that time, he didn't know that the world was so complicated.

At that time, he didn't know that life was so tough.

At that time, he didn't know about the Immortal Court, the God Race, and the Seven Races of the Ancient Age that created them.

At that time, Lin Jiufeng knew very little. He was very happy.

Now that he knew more, his understanding of the world became deeper, he was no longer happy.

Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming left him.

The Human Race was also in grave danger.

He also died and a wisp of his remnant soul wandered into the Death Realm.

All this time, Lin Jiufeng had always felt very guilty towards Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

He had made a promise many years ago to revive Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

He had even mastered the Fate Changing Technique.

But it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to revive them.

Even until Lin Jiufeng died, he still didn't revive Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

In the past, Lin Jiufeng didn't understand why it was so difficult.

But at this moment, he vaguely understood.

After Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming died, they came to the Death Realm. Moreover, unlike the other skeletons, after they appeared, they only used a very short time to reach the purple soul flame level.

Then, they entered the depths of the Death Realm.

It had only been a hundred years since then.

White Skeleton and Black Skeleton were shocked by Lin Jiufeng's appearance.

“Those two skeletons are indeed very heaven-defying. When they were just born in the Death Realm, they already had memories of their previous lives. They quickly rose up and caused a huge commotion in the Death Realm. But what we know is limited,” White Skeleton immediately said.

“The two of us are hiding in the outer area and don't dare to go deep. Naturally, we don't know much information. We only heard some rumors,” Black Skeleton added.

Lin Jiufeng immediately said, “What rumor? Tell me immediately. There's no need to talk about anything else for the time being.”

Now, Lin Jiufeng's heart was on Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

Black Skeleton said, “Some of the skeletons who occupy a lot of lands said in private that Emperor Yuan who appeared first said that he wanted to enter the depths of the Death Realm and revive to live a second life. He wanted to go find his older brother.”

Lin Jiufeng's eyelids drooped, and his hands trembled.

Emperor Yuan wanted to live a second life and look for his older brother.

His older brother was Lin Jiufeng.

White Skeleton didn't notice the subtle changes in Lin Jiufeng's expression. Its soul flame jumped as it said, “It's strange. More than ten years after Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming appeared. He was also determined to enter the depths of the Death Realm and said that he wanted to go find his father.”

“One is looking for his older brother, and the other is looking for his father. I have to say, they are very unique,” Black Skeleton said with emotion.

“Do you know what happened to them after that?” Lin Jiufeng suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and calmed himself down before asking.

It was useless to be anxious. More than a hundred years had passed since then. No one knew where Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming were now.

No matter how anxious Lin Jiufeng was, it was useless. He wouldn't gain any information at all by being anxious.

At the critical moment, he remained calm and collected. Huge waves surged and winds blew in his heart. But his appearance was calm and composed as he responded calmly.

White Skeleton answered, “I don't know. After entering the depths of the Death Realm, news rarely spread.”

“The competition in the depths of the Death Realm is very intense. After many skeletons entered, their soul flames were shattered and their energies were devoured, becoming food for other skeletons. Therefore, very little news can be spread out,” Black Skeleton also spoke up.

Lin Jiufeng's eyes remained calm as he asked, “To enter the depths of the Death Realm, should I just continue down this path?”

The path that Lin Jiufeng pointed at was the path to leave this periphery.

The intersection between heaven and earth was the depths of the Death Realm. It spread for an unknown distance, making one tremble at the sight of it.

“It's very dangerous to enter the depths of the Death Realm,” Black Skeleton said anxiously.

“That's right. There are many terrifying skeletons inside. They are far from what we can match.” White Skeleton also shook its head, not wanting Lin Jiufeng to enter.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the two skeletons and asked softly, “You guys… plan to live in this muddled state for the rest of your lives?”

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton fell silent.

Their soul flames flickered.

Fear and other emotions interweaved in their hearts.

“You guys should have been powerful figures when you were alive, but after you died, you became like this. Staying at the periphery, relying on the thin energy, you guys actually cultivated to the purple soul level. But don't you guys want to recover the memories of your previous lives?”

“You guys are willing to stay here until your soul flames are extinguished?”

Lin Jiufeng asked the two skeletons in succession. The two of them remained silent.

Lin Jiufeng could tell that they were in a dilemma.

Especially Black Skeleton. Its soul flame jumped a few times. It wanted to say something, but it sighed weakly.

White Skeleton had its head lowered all this time. Its soul flame was burning fiercely inside, representing that it was in a dilemma.

“What exactly are you guys afraid of?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

Black Skeleton said bitterly, “I don't know.”

White Skeleton's soul flame let out a wry smile. “We just don't know what we're afraid of, that's why we're so afraid. We're like this every time. When we want to take a step forward, the fear in our hearts and the fear that comes from our bones will make us give up on the idea.”

Black Skeleton said powerlessly, “In the entire Death Realm, you can't find another skeleton who's more cowardly than us. The periphery is a disgrace in the eyes of others, but we've lived here for more than 10,000 years.”

“Alright then. The two of you can continue living your own lives. I'm going to the depths of the Death Realm to look for Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and find a way to live a second life. I'm going to look for the secrets in the depths of the Death Realm.” Lin Jiufeng stopped asking them. Each person had their own choice. He would respect their choices.

But he didn't plan to stay, nor did he want to ask anything else. They didn't know much.

After Lin Jiufeng learned of the news about Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming, he couldn't wait anymore.

He stepped out of the ancient city.

“Wait…” Black Skeleton suddenly said.

White Skeleton looked at Black Skeleton. Its soul flame flickered, clearly in a dilemma.

But it didn't interrupt Black Skeleton.

It seemed to be looking forward to something.

Lin Jiufeng stopped in his tracks and looked at Black Skeleton silently.

He wanted to see what Black Skeleton wanted to do.

Being stared at by Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton, Black Skeleton said solemnly, “When you attacked previously, didn't you say that you wanted the two of us to listen to you for three days?”

Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, “Yes, I did.”

“Then, we have to keep our promise and be worthy of ourselves. We can't go back on our words, we have to listen to whatever you say. We will definitely do whatever you ask us to,” Black Skeleton said solemnly.

White Skeleton's soul flame instantly burned fiercely.

It looked at Lin Jiufeng and said firmly, “That's right. Although we are skeletons, we also know that we have to keep our word. We can't break our promise.”

Lin Jiufeng smiled happily. He understood now. They needed an excuse to convince their fear.

Lin Jiufeng needed to provide this excuse to them.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton looked at Lin Jiufeng expectantly.

They were waiting for Lin Jiufeng's orders.

They would obey!

They could convince themselves that this was an act of keeping their promise.

They chose to deceive the fear in their bodies.

Lin Jiufeng smiled. It was like a breeze blowing on his face and a bright moon landing in his arms as if a light was radiating from his body. He said, “I order you guys to advance with me!”

Black Skeleton sighed. “I have no choice then. I have to listen to everything you say. This isn't something that I want to do, but as a skeleton, the most important thing is to be honest.”

White Skeleton also nodded. “That's right. Being skeletons, if we aren't honest, then we might as well die. Therefore, we have no choice but to accompany him for two days. Two days later, we will complete our promise.”

Two days later, it was unknown how much deeper they would already be in. It wouldn't be easy for them to return then.

The relationship between Black Skeleton and White Skeleton was originally that of a life and death struggle.

But now, the two skeletons seemed to be lifelong friends, lamenting on the greatness of their respective skeleton personalities.

Then, they followed Lin Jiufeng out of the ancient city.

“You don't want this ancient city anymore?” Lin Jiufeng asked White Skeleton.

“I don't want it anymore. Actually, many times, I also wonder what exactly I'm afraid of. It's been more than 10,000 years, why don't I dare to take a step forward?”

“If I dared to take that step, I would have long become a five-colored skeleton. Even among the five-colored skeletons, I would be a very powerful existence.”

“I've been asking myself, what exactly am I afraid of?”

“I can't describe it, but I'm just afraid.”

“Therefore, we have to thank you, Great Emperor Jiufeng, for giving us the courage to step out of the land that we have lived in for more than 10,000 years.”

White Skeleton said sincerely.

Black Skeleton was the same. It thanked Lin Jiufeng too.

“There's no need to thank me. I'm just pulling you guys with me. If we die, we die together,” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and said very cruel words.

Black Skeleton smiled and said, “As I said, I will listen to whatever you say. Then, if we encounter danger, let's face it together. To be honest, I also want to know what's in the depths of the Death Realm.”

“Also, I want to know what kind of person I was when I was alive.”

“I must be a very talented and amazing person then.” Black Skeleton began to daydream.

“You must definitely have been a sloppy person in your previous life,” White Skeleton added.

“Hmph…” Black Skeleton couldn't be bothered to look at White Skeleton.

It followed Lin Jiufeng out of its comfort zone and began to walk towards the intersection of heaven and earth.

Behind it was the White Skeleton. Its footsteps were firm as it followed Lin Jiufeng.

As for Lin Jiufeng, he advanced forward and traveled very quickly.

No matter how far away it was, he had to find news about Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

It was only about a hundred years since there was news of them, it wasn't very far ago.

“There's a big secret in this Death Realm, I must find it,” Lin Jiufeng said firmly.

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng and the two skeletons were like three meteors under the night sky, moving rapidly. Their bodies transformed into a beam of light that cut through the bone ground. The distance of tens of miles seemed to be very near.

They were going to the depths of the Death Realm.
