Chapter 283: Traces of the Kunlun Immortal
[Sign-In successful. Received the North Sea Great Technique!]
There was a fish in the north sea, its name was Kun. The size of Kun was thousands of miles long. It transformed into a bird, which was named Peng. The back of Peng was thousands of miles long. When it flew in anger, its wings were like clouds that drooped down from the sky.
The North Sea Great Technique was derived from this legend. This technique was extremely terrifying. It was an extreme-level immortal technique.
Just like the Kunlun Sword Technique, it surpa.s.sed the treasure skill and reached the immortal technique level.
Immortal techniques were what Lin Jiufeng lacked now. After he broke through to the peak of the False Immortal Realm, the treasure skills could no longer keep up with the times. Only those techniques that were still evolving and becoming stronger with Lin Jiufeng could possibly catch up.
After signing in to this North Sea Great Technique, it transformed into a stream of light that entered Lin Jiufeng’s mind. It instantly exploded in his mind.
Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness was originally a vast sea. At this moment, a huge roc flitted past. It spread its wings and flew. After circling around the Fusang Tree, it entered the vast sea of spiritual consciousness with a plop and became a fish that swam in it.
“The North Sea Great Technique is indeed unfathomable. It’s a large-scale immortal technique. Signing in such an immortal technique before entering the Eye of the North Sea is also a form of safeguard.” Lin Jiufeng muttered to himself, feeling quite happy. He was now above the vortex, staring at the constantly spinning vortex with a faint gaze.
“What exactly is the secret underneath?” Lin Jiufeng murmured.
After completely mastering the North Sea Great Technique, Lin Jiufeng officially stepped into the huge vortex.
Rumble!
The sound waves created by the vortex were huge. When Lin Jiufeng went down from the edge, he sensed a terrifying suction force that frantically dragged him down.
But Lin Jiufeng was very powerful. He stood in the same spot without being moved. Unlike Orochi, this suction force couldn’t pull Lin Jiufeng down.
This also proved that Lin Jiufeng was way stronger than Orochi.
After getting used to it for a while, Lin Jiufeng began to venture deeper.
He entered the center from the edge of the vortex.
The suction force became stronger, but it still couldn’t do anything to Lin Jiufeng. He walked in this huge vortex and gradually went deeper.
“What’s that?” But as he went deeper, Lin Jiufeng saw a shocking scene.
In the core of this huge vortex, there was a huge black hole. It was like the bottom of a funnel. Endless seawater poured in and rumbled.
But above that black hole, a coffin was floating there, suppressing the void.
The coffin was made of peach wood. It had a terrifying aura, but the aura didn’t spread. It was just suppressing the entrance.
“Whose coffin is this?” Lin Jiufeng slowly approached. Sensing the pressure from the coffin, he frowned.
“The aura of an immortal!” Lin Jiufeng affirmed.
Only a true immortal could make him feel pressure now.
Among those of the False Immortal Realm, Lin Jiufeng dared to say that he was the strongest one.
Standing in front of the coffin, Lin Jiufeng raised his hand, wanting to open it.
He resisted the powerful pressure and reached out to touch the coffin.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure rushed into his spiritual consciousness and directly exploded.
[Immortals are guilty!]
A sorrowful voice spread and reverberated in Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness, causing his entire body to tremble.
“Immortals are guilty?” Lin Jiufeng murmured. He looked at the coffin with a deep gaze.
This tone was filled with indignation and deep regret.
It was as if he had been deceived or discovered a huge secret.
“Who exactly is this person?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. He pushed the coffin forcefully, but it couldn’t be opened.
The coffin remained motionless. It wasn’t something Lin Jiufeng could open with his current strength.
Other than that sorrowful roar, there was no other sound.
Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but give up. There was no other choice. He could only choose to enter the Eye of the North Sea.
But before he left, Lin Jiufeng said to the wooden coffin, “Don’t tell me you’re the Kunlun Immortal?”
Lin Jiufeng suspected this at first sight.
Winged Dragon had said that the Kunlun Immortal had come to the Eye of the North Sea, but there was no news of him since then.
Winged Dragon had also said that the Kunlun Immortal was clearing some obstacles for his descendants.
Moreover, the Eye of the North Sea had a forbidden spell cast on it. False Immortals who had transcended nine lightning tribulations would be trapped and killed if they entered.
Lin Jiufeng was currently a ninth stage False Immortal too, but he was confident of his strength, so he still came.
Whether this peachwood coffin really contained the Kunlun Immortal or not was something uncertain. Lin Jiufeng asked the coffin, but it didn’t respond.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t give up. He pushed the peachwood coffin again.
It didn’t move at all!
But this time, Lin Jiufeng discovered that there was a forbidden spell entangled on the wooden coffin. Every time he used his full strength, he would trigger this forbidden spell, which would then lock the wooden coffin.
“If I don’t solve this forbidden spell, I won’t be able to open this peachwood coffin.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes narrowed.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to solve this forbidden spell with brute force.
He began to look through his inventory to see if there was anything that could undo this forbidden spell.
Over the years, Lin Jiufeng had signed in for many things. These things were all stored in his treasury. Other than giving some to Emperor De to stabilize the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and some to Princess Yulin to cultivate, he had kept the rest. Even if he couldn’t use them for the time being, he might use them in the future.
After searching around, he really found a treasure that he had signed in previously that might be useful.
The Kunlun Divine Stone!
This was a hard and spell-breaking stone.
Lin Jiufeng had signed in on the way to the Nest of 10,000 Dragons after entering the Kunlun Mountains.
At that time, it was really just a stubborn stone. Lin Jiufeng had no use for it at all, so he threw it in the corner of the treasury.
It was only now that Lin Jiufeng remembered and found it after rummaging through his treasury.
“A hard and spell-breaking stone…” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up.
He looked at the forbidden spell on the peachwood coffin.
“Doesn’t this forbidden spell need to be broken?” Lin Jiufeng smiled. He held the Kunlun Divine Stone in his hand and smashed it forcefully towards the coffin.
Boom!
With this smash, the peachwood coffin trembled. The huge fluctuations affected the vortex, and the forbidden spell on the peachwood coffin directly exploded at this moment.
Lightning flashed. The forbidden spell that Lin Jiufeng couldn’t do anything to just now directly exploded under the smash of the Kunlun Divine Stone.
The sound of the explosion even affected the wooden coffin. With a cracking sound, a crack directly appeared in the wooden coffin.
“There’s someone inside!” Lin Jiufeng saw clothes from a corner of the crack. He was surprised and put away the Kunlun Divine Stone. Then, he pushed open the peachwood coffin.
The outcome was greatly unexpected.
The clothes that Lin Jiufeng saw just now were really clothes.
There was no one in the wooden coffin, only a set of clothes.
It was also this set of clothes that suppressed the Eye of the North Sea, emitting the aura of an immortal.
“This is… a cenotaph?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. He carefully moved the clothes. These clothes were very simple. They weren’t immortal artifacts, they could be considered to be at the pseudo-immortal artifact level. But because they were worn by an immortal and were tainted with the aura of an immortal, they were placed here.
“Wait, there are words in this coffin!” Lin Jiufeng saw words on the inner side of the peachwood coffin. These words weren’t contemporary words, but words from the era of the Myriad Races from more than 10,000 years ago.
Lin Jiufeng had long learned it, so he read it out loud.
“The path of an immortal is both real and fake. Don’t choose to ascend into an immortal after transcending the tribulations. This path has been plotted against by someone or some people.”
This was the first line of words that were carved.
Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng became increasingly certain that the previous owner of this peach coffin was the Kunlun Immortal.
Winged Dragon had told Lin Jiufeng that the Kunlun Immortal had said that there was something wrong with becoming an immortal.
“But where’s the Kunlun Immortal? Why did he leave a set of clothes in the wooden coffin?” A question mark appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.
Lin Jiufeng continued to observe the interior of the peachwood coffin. He really discovered another few lines of words.
“The appearance of the Myriad Races was just a mistake. Especially after the Number One Race was suppressed, the potential of the Myriad Races became limited. The Primordial G.o.d Mountain was just a puppet.”
“I’m seriously injured and don’t have much time left. But at least I cleared the obstacles for the people who came later. I killed the G.o.d of Darkness!”
When Lin Jiufeng saw this, he raised his brows. His heart trembled and swayed.
“Isn’t the G.o.d of Darkness the instigator behind the Primordial G.o.d Mountain? It was because of his support that the Primordial G.o.d Mountain was able to rise up. Moreover, this G.o.d had exterminated the Number One Race and suppressed them in the Eye of the North Sea. He was actually killed by the Kunlun Immortal? Unbelievable,” Lin Jiufeng said in surprise.
Lin Jiufeng’s interest in the Kunlun Immortal increased substantially. He searched the peachwood coffin thoroughly, wanting to find more information and understand more about what happened.
In the end, Lin Jiufeng found another sentence.
“I’ve always felt that it’s a pity that I was born too late and didn’t manage to make it in time for the magnificent era. Being a small figure under the great era and sacrificing my life for it is more exciting than being the leader of a lonely era. But before I die, I see the hope of saving this regret. I want to partic.i.p.ate in the war!”
Lin Jiufeng was surprised. What did this mean?
The Kunlun Immortal was very powerful. He was another terrifying existence that rose up after the top powerhouses of the Primordial G.o.d Mountain rose up after the fall of the Number One Race.
Back then, he had just entered the Immortal Realm and was even threatened by the people of the Primordial G.o.d Mountain. But later on, he actually killed the backer of the Primordial G.o.d Mountain and dragged his injured body to go fight somewhere else.
Where did he go?
This was the problem.
But after Lin Jiufeng searched through the peachwood coffin thoroughly, there was still no answer.
In the end, the Kunlun Immortal actually built a tomb for himself in advance and left. Did he know that he would never return after leaving?
“The Myriad Races, the G.o.d Race, and even the Human Race of this world are all deeper than I thought. Beneath the exterior of this calm world are countless undercurrents, like a bottomless sea.” Lin Jiufeng said to himself. He was telling himself that although the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was suppressing the world on the surface and he was invincible on the surface, he still had to work tirelessly in private to discover the truth of this world.
“I don’t know where the Kunlun Immortal went, but this cenotaph can be considered to be an explanation to the Kunlun Mountains.” Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and directly put away the peachwood coffin. He wanted to bring it back to show it to Winged Dragon.
This was what he had promised the Nest of 10,000 Dragons and Winged Dragon. He had to fulfill it.
As for taking the peachwood coffin away, would anything happen to the Eye of the North Sea?
Since Lin Jiufeng was here, the problem of the Eye of the North Sea had to be resolved for good.
“There are countless changes in this world, but now that I’m the number one powerhouse on the surface and the so-called Great Emperor Jiufeng, I have the responsibility to protect this world.” Lin Jiufeng clenched his fists. After putting away the peachwood coffin, he directly dropped into the bottomless black hole.
The water of the sea was also constantly cras.h.i.+ng down. This was much more magnificent than a waterfall.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t know how long he flew for. There was only the rumbling of the seawater in his ears. Lin Jiufeng only saw the light after a long time.
Boom!
The light was beneath his feet, but it was locked by a forbidden spell. The water from the sea smashed down, but it was directly rebounded and entered the deeper parts of the sea.
Without hesitation, Lin Jiufeng took out the Kunlun Divine Stone.
A hard and spell-breaking stone.
Previously, he thought that the Kunlun Divine Stone was useless, but from the looks of it, it was even more useful than some immortal artifacts.
Boom!
The Kunlun Divine Stone directly smashed open the forbidden spell. Lin Jiufeng directly fell down, together with the surging seawater.
After a short time, the forbidden spell repaired itself. The water of the sea was blocked from entering again.
Lin Jiufeng arrived at the sea.
Yes, it was still a sea.
The difference was that in this sea, there were countless corpses floating and sinking. There were some complete bodies, but most of them were shattered corpses.
Lin Jiufeng discovered the huge skeleton of a mammoth. It was unscathed. Under the impact of the sea waves, it was still stable and emitted a heavy aura.
This mammoth was at least a False Immortal that had pa.s.sed nine lightning tribulations. It might even be an immortal. This was because, after an unknown period of time, its corpse still had such a stable aura.
Not only was there a mammoth, but there was also the skeleton of a True Dragon. It was also well-preserved. Other than that, there were also some human corpses. They were all well-preserved.
Looking at the sunlight above his head, Lin Jiufeng muttered to himself, “This is a Small World, independent from the outside world.”
He flew up from the sea of bones and looked around. This small world wasn’t big, there was only an island with the sea surrounding it. The sea was filled with bones.
This should be called the Sea of Bones.
The island spanned hundreds of kilometers like a curved blade. The forest was dense. Lin Jiufeng came to the beach and looked around carefully.
There was no one there.
He spread his divine sense and instantly surrounded the island that was hundreds of miles long. He slowly investigated.
Broken walls were everywhere.
There were traces of fighting everywhere.
A huge battle had once happened here.
“Could this be the place where the Kunlun Immortal and the G.o.d of Darkness fought?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He discovered many corpses.
These corpses didn’t decay. After more than 10,000 years, the corpses that still existed now belonged to those that had at least undergone seven or eight tribulations. This was very terrifying.
Lin Jiufeng walked to a corpse and discovered that there were spiritual words that still existed in this corpse.
He listened carefully and his expression became strange.
“Kunlun Immortal, you lunatic! You will f*cking die a terrible death!!”
This strand of spirit was very persistent. It cursed the Kunlun Immortal. As a result, even until now, it hadn’t been wiped out. One could imagine how much he hated the Kunlun Immortal back then.
“It seems that this was done by the Kunlun Immortal. These corpses are of different shapes. They should be from the Number One Race?” Lin Jiufeng guessed.
He continued to explore.
But then, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
Corpses were everywhere here, and the sea was filled with bones. However, they didn’t belong to the Number One Race.
They came from another faction…
