80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled

Chapter 343 - Ancient City!

Chapter 343: Ancient City!

Lin Jiufeng was very powerful, not ordinarily powerful.

This was what the white skeleton and the black skeleton thought together.

Then, they quietened down. Their soul flames jumped violently and became active. They were rejoicing that they were saved.

“Why are you guys fighting?” Lin Jiufeng looked at them and asked.

The two skeletons were of similar strength, and their realms were also the same. Their soul flames were both purple, but one was black, and the other was white.

“I can’t stand the white skeleton!” The black skeleton said directly.

“We are all skeletons that were born in this land, and we have never left this place. Because of the competition for territory, when we were weak, we barely managed to join forces and drove away the other skeletons. But now that we are stronger, differences have appeared.” The white skeleton’s spirit fluctuated.

Lin Jiufeng was suddenly enlightened. He said, “So you guys can suffer together, but you can’t share wealth and fortune.”

The white skeleton didn’t speak.

But the black skeleton said, “In reality, we were born to be at odds. The white skeleton belongs to the light, while I belong to the darkness. Previously, it was only because of benefits that we joined forces, but now, I can’t stand it anymore. When I see the white skeleton, I’ll want to fight with it. We’ve fought many times before, but we couldn’t do anything to the other party. This time, I was truly angered from the fight and couldn’t control myself.”

The white skeleton sighed and said, “I reckon that we were mortal enemies in my previous life. Either that or we had killed each other’s father before. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have disliked each other so much after coming to the Death Realm.”

“Don’t you guys remember what happened when you were alive?” Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed as he asked curiously.

“How can I remember? Only the five-colored skeletons can remember what happened when they were alive.” The white skeleton shook its head.

“By the way, don’t tell me that you are a five-colored skeleton that remembers what happened when you were alive and wants to evolve your flesh and blood to live a second life?” The black skeleton asked in surprise.

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and changed his appearance so that the two skeletons could see him clearly.

“I’m a wisp of a remnant soul, different from you guys. I’m not a skeleton. I just condensed my divine soul, so I look like I have a body of flesh and blood,” Lin Jiufeng said.

The black skeleton and the white skeleton watched in surprise.

“A wisp of the remnant soul is very rare in this Death Realm,” the white skeleton exclaimed as it sized up Lin Jiufeng carefully.

“It’s indeed very rare. I remember that when we were just born, a wisp of remnant soul appeared and even defeated the five-colored skeleton, alarming the entire Death Realm. But I don’t know what happened in the end,” the black skeleton added.

The grudges between the two skeletons were temporarily put aside because of Lin Jiufeng. They communicated normally, although they didn’t look at each other.

“You guys just said that when you guys were born, a wisp of remnant soul appeared and defeated the five-colored skeleton. What exactly happened? Also, what realm was the five-colored skeleton at?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.

He had to understand these questions now.

“When we were born, a wisp of remnant soul appeared and defeated a five-colored skeleton. But at that time, we were still little skeletons. We only saw a huge energy fluctuation and then heard this from other skeletons. As for what exactly happened, we don’t know either. We are already more than 10,000 years old now, how can we still remember what happened at that time?” The white skeleton said.

The black skeleton added, “As for the five-colored skeleton, that’s the color produced by the soul of skeletons. In other words, the stronger your cultivation base and realm are, the more resplendent the color of your soul flame.”

“For ordinary skeletons, their soul flames are all white, just that the whiteness is a little different.”

“When your cultivation base becomes stronger and surpasses that of ordinary skeletons, your soul flame will change.”

“This change is divided into red, green, purple, gold, and five-colored.”

“Five-colored is also the most difficult to achieve. When you reach the five-colored realm, all the bones in your body will become five-colored. This is what we call a five-colored skeleton.”

The black skeleton carefully explained Lin Jiufeng’s doubts.

The two skeletons suspected that Lin Jiufeng had just arrived in the Death Realm.

They even suspected that Lin Jiufeng was a five-colored skeleton that remembered something from his previous life.

Lin Jiufeng did remember his previous life, but he wasn’t a five-colored skeleton yet.

According to the change in the color of the soul flames that the black skeleton mentioned, Lin Jiufeng immediately understood.

According to comparison, white-colored soul flame corresponded to the Immortal Realm and everything below it.

And at the Perfected Immortal Realm, it corresponded to the red soul flame.

Mystic Immortals, Ancestral Immortals, and Sovereign Immortals corresponded to green, purple, and gold respectively.

In the end, the Immortal King Realm corresponded to the five-colored skeleton.

Hence, according to the black skeleton, the five-colored skeleton could remember its previous life. In other words, one had to cultivate to the Immortal King Realm in the Death Realm in order to recover the memories of the previous life.

‘I’m quite lucky. I found the memories of my previous life from the beginning.’ Lin Jiufeng self-mocked in his heart.

After all, he hadn’t reached the five-colored skeleton realm yet.

“Where are you two staying?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

He didn’t want to communicate in this place where the battle had just happened. What if he encountered other skeletons?

Now, what Lin Jiufeng needed wasn’t to fight. What he needed to do was to understand the Death Realm and figure out all his doubts.

The black skeleton pointed underground and said, “I live underground, you probably don’t want to go there. Then, you can go to the white skeleton’s residence.”

The white skeleton said indifferently, “I’m fine with anything, you can go to my place too.”

“No way.” The black skeleton directly shook its head.

But Lin Jiufeng immediately pressed down on its skull, forcefully pressing down, making it nod.

“It agreed. Lead the way,” Lin Jiufeng said to the white skeleton.

As for the black skeleton’s opinion, Lin Jiufeng ignored it.

The black skeleton felt aggrieved and wanted to curse.

But sensing the terrifying energy fluctuation in Lin Jiufeng’s palm, it noticed that the energy was right beside its soul flame. These factors made the black skeleton choose to shut up, not daring to anger Lin Jiufeng.

Hence, the white skeleton and the black skeleton came to the same conclusion.

Lin Jiufeng might be stronger than they thought.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

Hence, it was better to obey.

“I’ll bring you guys there. It’s right ahead, a city filled with light!” The white skeleton let out a hearty laugh and led the way.

“By the way, may I know your name?” The white skeleton asked.

“My name is… Great Emperor Jiufeng!” Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and said his title.

“My name is White, and his name is Black. It’s very easy to remember,” the white skeleton said.

The black skeleton struggled to get up and said in dissatisfaction, “I can introduce my own name! Moreover, my name isn’t Black anymore. My name now is Child of the Night. You can call me The Most Loyal Child of the Night.”

Lin Jiufeng looked at it and said casually, “Alright, Black Skeleton.”

The black skeleton’s soul flame seemed to be in a dilemma, wanting to correct Lin Jiufeng.

But Lin Jiufeng ignored it and said directly, “You can lead the way now, White Skeleton.”

“My name is White…” The white skeleton silently added.

“It’s the same. White Skeleton sounds better. Lead the way.” Lin Jiufeng was still indifferent. He didn’t care about their names.

No matter how fancy their names were, Lin Jiufeng would still call them White Skeleton and Black Skeleton.

White Skeleton and Black Skeleton felt terrible.

They seemed to have the same problem. They were very conflicted about being called this name.

They wanted to correct Lin Jiufeng, but Lin Jiufeng didn’t give them a chance. It made them feel uncomfortable.

White Skeleton led the way. After walking for a while, they crossed seven mountains and crossed thousands of miles before arriving at its residence.

To Lin Jiufeng, this was indeed nothing much.

But now, it was already dark.

Just like in the real world, it turned dark very quickly.

At night, a round moon hung in the sky. Under White Skeleton’s lead, Lin Jiufeng crossed the last mountain. The pure white moonlight was flowing like water. The entire huge mountain was tainted with a milky-white halo that curled gently like thin smoke. It was faint and hazy, harmonious and serene.

Together, the night and the white light were a perfect match.

Black Skeleton didn’t raise any opposing views.

It admired this scene.

But White Skeleton ignored this scene and moved quickly.

“After crossing this mountain, we will reach the place where I live, an ancient city where the sun never sets,” White Skeleton said.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and asked Black Skeleton, “Why is it called the ancient city where the sun never sets?”

Black Skeleton said disdainfully, “It’s to use the light to illuminate every place in the ancient city. Not a trace of darkness or blemish is allowed. Moreover, the ancient city must be clean. It must be cleaned three times a day to maintain its cleanliness. Those that can’t achieve these standards are all treated as heretics who must be driven out of the ancient city.”

These were all fatal to the careless and carefree Black Skeleton.

It really couldn’t figure out why there were skeletons living here and letting so many strange rules of the white skeleton control them.

Lin Jiufeng flipped over the mountain and saw the ancient city that Black Skeleton mentioned. A city with no shadows.

In the dark night, it was really dazzling. Many dark corners were lit up. And it was very clean.

The walls of the ancient city seemed to have become mirrors.

It was incompatible with the surroundings that were filled with dust and death energy.

“This is my ancient city. Welcome, Great Emperor Jiufeng.” White Skeleton invited Lin Jiufeng in.

Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart, “This is an extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.”

“Don’t you find it troublesome to live like this?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“No, I think it’s good to live like this. It’s clean, neat, bright, and without darkness. Isn’t it great?” White Skeleton said.

“I’m not like some skeletons who live in caves and can sleep with worms. The dirty one is themselves.” White Skeleton was talking about Black Skeleton.

Black Skeleton immediately wanted to retort.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng immediately coughed and said, “Let’s go in. Find a room to talk. I have many questions for you guys.”

White Skeleton immediately led the way, ignoring Black Skeleton.

Since it had gained some advantage, it shouldn’t continue to provoke Black Skeleton. White Skeleton knew of this logic.

Black Skeleton snorted coldly. “Pretentious!”

Lin Jiufeng pretended not to hear it. He followed White Skeleton to a hall in the ancient city.

The hall was also very clean. There were skeletons cleaning it every day.

This ancient city wasn’t much different from the ancient cities in the mortal world. The skeletons also needed to live. Since they couldn’t find the memories of their previous lives, they treated this life as their only life. These skeletons therefore began to live under the protection of White Skeleton in this ancient city.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, what do you want to ask?” White Skeleton invited Lin Jiufeng to sit down and chose to stand as it asked curiously.

Beside it, Black Skeleton was also standing.

“I want to know information about the Death Realm,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.

He needed to understand this so-called Death Realm.

For some reason, Lin Jiufeng felt that there were too many secrets in the Death Realm.
