Chapter 373: Sky-Stealing Change
Lin Jiufeng set his sights on the descendant of that King Lord, planning to take a gamble.
But the other party hadn’t come yet. Lin Jiufeng needed to continue waiting.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton heard about the relations.h.i.+p between the Seven Races of the Ancient Age and the Human Realm too.
“I really didn’t expect that there was actually such a huge faction controlling the changes of the era behind the mortal realm,” Black Skeleton sighed and said.
“The Seven Races of the Ancient Age… why does it sound so familiar to me?” White Skeleton mumbled.
“Do you also feel a sense of familiarity?” Black Skeleton asked in surprise.
“That’s right, do you have this feeling too?” White Skeleton asked in surprise.
“I do, but I don’t know where this sense of familiarity started from. It’s as if I heard something that I hate very much. It makes me feel uneasy all over, and I feel a sense of disgust from the depths of my soul flame.” Black Skeleton explained in detail.
“Me too, I just feel very uncomfortable. This so-called Seven Races of the Ancient Age sounds very disgusting,” White Skeleton agreed.
“The two of you seem to have a conflict with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age,” Lin Jiufeng heard the conversation of the two skeletons and said.
“I don’t know. We don’t have any memories about the past,” Black Skeleton and White Skeleton said together.
“It seems that your memories of when you were alive also had a considerable conflict with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. You will know after you recover this portion of your memories,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“After experiencing this series of events, I feel that I’m about to break through,” Black Skeleton said.
“Me too. The Five-Colored Skeleton Realm isn’t far from me. In just a month, I will break through,” White Skeleton said solemnly.
Although Black Skeleton and White Skeleton had always been kept in the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield, they didn’t idle. They had always been working hard to improve themselves.
From the golden soul flame to the five-colored skeleton, their efforts were reaping the fruits.
“Then, when you guys break through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm and awaken your memories, you will know everything.” Lin Jiufeng also looked forward to the moment when the two skeletons broke through.
He had a feeling that the black and white skeletons weren’t that simple. Their actions were very different from the other skeletons in the Death Realm.
He would know of their ident.i.ties after they broke through.
The most important thing now was to plan for that King Lord’s descendant.
The descendant hadn’t arrived yet, so Lin Jiufeng continued to hide in the Immortal Palace City. There were many immortals in this city, and there were also a few at the Immortal King Realm, but Lin Jiufeng had never seen a single powerhouse of the crystal skeleton level.
Perhaps they were in the core area of the Immortal Palace City, or perhaps they had yet to appear.
But for Lin Jiufeng, this was also a good thing. He didn’t have the risk of being exposed.
“Immortal King Lin, what method do you want to use to scheme against that King Lord’s descendant?” Black Skeleton asked.
“Replace him!” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.
“How to replace it?” White Skeleton asked.
Lin Jiufeng frowned. This was indeed a problem.
Even if he were to replace the other party, there would also be a risk of being exposed. After all, he wouldn’t be able to imitate the other party 100%.
“Immortal King Lin, we have a cultivation technique here that comes from the Death Realm. Do you want to cultivate it?” White Skeleton asked.
“What cultivation technique?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Sky-Stealing Change!” Black Skeleton said solemnly.
“What’s the use of this cultivation technique?” Lin Jiufeng asked seriously.
“The simplest thing about this cultivation technique is to possess someone’s body, but it’s not simple possession. Instead, it’s to enter the other party’s body and control the other party’s thoughts and cultivation base. All of his actions seem to be very reasonable. Even if the person closest to him comes to check, he won’t discover any clues because you didn’t kill him. You only controlled the target, that’s all,” White Skeleton explained.
“Yes, this [Sky-Stealing Change] is to tamper with the other party’s soul. As long as the target isn’t careful, he will be controlled. Then, he will still be him. It’s just that his thoughts and actions have to be approved by you, Immortal King Lin,” Black Skeleton added.
“Where did you guys get such a strange cultivation technique from?” Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.
“When the two of us were born in the Death Realm, this cultivation technique also appeared in our minds,” Black Skeleton said.
“The two of us control half of it separately. Together, we possess the complete [Sky-Stealing Change]. But we had a grudge against each other in the past and didn’t like each other. Since we were born, this cultivation technique has never been combined, so we didn’t cultivate it. We can take it out and give it to you now,” White Skeleton said.
“That’s right. The enmity between us has long been wiped out. For the races of the mortal realm and for the sake of resisting the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, we are willing to hand the [Sky-Stealing Change] to you to let you cultivate and then control the descendant of that King Lord. In this way, we can infiltrate the enemy and act according to the situation,” Black Skeleton said.
“Alright, pa.s.s it to me. While the descendant of this King Lord hasn’t arrived yet, I will work hard in cultivating this technique and master it as soon as possible. Then, I will infiltrate the interior of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age and search for more evidence.” Lin Jiufeng nodded. He wasn’t a sloppy person. Since he had decided, he would begin his preparations immediately.
The black and white skeleton began to teach Lin Jiufeng the [Sky-Stealing Change] cultivation technique.
Lin Jiufeng listened attentively. Then, he practiced this cultivation technique and quickly adapted and learned it.
He was now at the Immortal King Realm, and he was at the second heaven of the Immortal King Realm. It was easy for him to cultivate a cultivation technique.
In addition, the current Lin Jiufeng was still a spiritual body. Cultivating this so-called soul-related mystic technique was even easier.
In a short moment, Lin Jiufeng began to execute [Sky-Stealing Change].
Moreover, Lin Jiufeng even took out the soul flames of the three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court and gave one to the two skeletons to share.
“If the two of you share the soul flame of one crystal skeleton, both of you should be able to break through to become five-colored skeletons and awaken your memories,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“Thank you, Immortal King Lin!” The two skeletons were overjoyed. They didn’t decline. Only by breaking through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm would they have a chance to help Lin Jiufeng. The golden soul flame level was too weak now.
Moreover, if they could break through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm before the King Lord’s descendant arrived, this would also increase Lin Jiufeng’s trump card.
Don’t underestimate a five-colored skeleton, which was also an Immortal King.
Although an Immortal King couldn’t change the situation of the battle, to a certain extent, an Immortal King could still play a huge role.
As for Lin Jiufeng himself, he swallowed the soul flames of the other two crystal skeletons and quickly fell into cultivation.
The soul flames of the two crystal skeletons really contained too much energy. To a cultivator at the second heaven of the Immortal King Realm, it was a great supplement.
Lin Jiufeng cultivated the [Sky-Stealing Change] technique while increasing his combat strength and realm.
Time pa.s.sed minute by minute.
When night fell and the moon hung high in the sky, Lin Jiufeng stopped cultivating.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue cultivating, but the descendant of that King Lord had already arrived.
Rumble!
In the distance, a thunderous sound came. Lin Jiufeng was in the Immortal Palace City. He looked up and saw nine huge dragons pulling a huge palace and quickly arriving in front of the Immortal Palace City.
The nine dragons were very mighty and had extraordinary auras. The lowest was at the Mystic Immortal Realm, and the one in the center was actually at the Sovereign Immortal Realm.
But it was still a mount that had to pull a palace for others.
Around this palace were burly guards in armor. Each of them had extraordinary strength. The most powerful guards were actually two Immortal Kings.
This extremely n.o.ble aura that was exuded made people couldn’t help but kneel down in fear.
Dragons pulling the palace.
Immortal Kings as guards.
Even if Lin Jiufeng didn’t see the person in the palace, he could guess that this was the descendant of the King Lord.
“Have the two of you broken through?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
But no one answered him.
Lin Jiufeng lowered his head to take a look. In the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield, the two skeletons were surrounded by energy that formed a ball around them.
They were currently breaking through to the Immortal King Realm.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t disturb them. Instead, he stood up and retracted his aura.
Sensing the surging power in his body, the corner of Lin Jiufeng’s mouth curled up. He thought in his heart, ‘The soul flames of the two crystal skeletons instantly provided me with energy for three heavens, allowing me to break through to the fifth heaven from the second heaven of the Immortal King Realm. My strength has undergone a world-shaking change.’
‘Together with the Life Force Great Dao Array Formation and the Immortal Slaying Sword, my strength is already very powerful, but facing the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, it’s still not enough. I have to observe how powerful this King Lord’s descendant is. As long as his combat strength doesn’t exceed mine, I will begin the [Sky-Stealing Change] plan!’ Lin Jiufeng observed calmly.
Outside the Immortal Palace City, the descendant of the King Lord came and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the city.
Everyone was overjoyed and excited. They cheered.
Lin Jiufeng saw this and knew that among the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, the Lord Kings’ prestige was very high.
‘Has the strength of a King Lord surpa.s.sed the level of a crystal skeleton?’ Lin Jiufeng became suspicious.
And in the center of the Immortal Palace City, four Immortal Kings flew out. They were all at the fifth heaven of the Immortal King Realm and above. They came to the door and shouted, “Welcome, Lord Envoy, to the Immortal Palace City!”
The palace that was being pulled by the nine dragons stopped. A proud and cold voice sounded from inside. “Are the people from the Immortal Palace City ready?”
“Lord Envoy, the young people of the Immortal Palace City are all prepared. Their att.i.tude is positive and they are eager to fight. Please review them, Lord Envoy!” An Immortal King replied.
“Alright, then the selection of 3,000 warriors shall begin tomorrow. They shall come back with me and prepare to partic.i.p.ate in the War of Extermination!” The King Lord’s descendant said in satisfaction.
“Lord Envoy, please enter the Immortal Palace City to rest for a night. Food, wine, and beauties are all prepared,” the most powerful seventh heaven Immortal King said loudly.
“Alright, but there’s no need for food, wine, and beautiful women. These external things will only corrupt the will of cultivators. Indulging in enjoyment will make one lose their will, and playing with women will make one lose their life. Remove them all and arrange a secret chamber for me. I need to enter seclusion!” The King Lord’s descendant said coldly.
As his words fell, a young man walked out of the huge floating palace.
This young man was dressed gorgeously. His face was shrouded in divine light, turning into a round moon that shrouded the back of his head. It made him look extremely n.o.ble.
Lin Jiufeng could tell that this descendant of the King Lord wasn’t weak. He had just broken through to the Immortal King Realm and was at the first heaven of the Immortal King Realm. Looking at his age, he was definitely no older than 300 years old.
‘He cultivated to the Immortal King Realm in 300 years. He has both talent and hard work. His willpower is also very strong. He rejected good food, good wine, and beautiful women. He’s a person who only wants to become stronger,’ Lin Jiufeng thought.
Under Lin Jiufeng’s gaze, a group of powerhouses escorted the young man and descended into the Immortal Palace City like stars surrounding the moon.
Then, they entered the largest palace in the city.
Lin Jiufeng immediately followed. He had been using the Primordial Concealment Technique all this time, but no one discovered him.
Even when Lin Jiufeng pa.s.sed by them, they also couldn’t sense him.
‘There’s no one at the crystal skeleton level here, it saves me a lot of effort,’ Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart.
Hiding in the dark, Lin Jiufeng saw that seventh heaven Immortal King say, “Lord Envoy, there’s a dimensional s.p.a.ce in this palace. It’s very hidden and safe. If you want to enter seclusion, this place is suitable.”
The King Lord’s descendant nodded and said, “Not bad. You guys can go back and prepare for the selection tomorrow. The Immortal Palace City has always been a small city. The reason why there are 3,000 spots for this city this time is that you guys have always been filial and diligent. I fought for these spots for you guys.”
“The battle of exterminating the mortal realm is a chance to obtain military achievements. You guys must choose outstanding young people in order to live up to these 3,000 spots. Whether the Immortal Palace City can rise up next time will depend on these 3,000 people,” the King Lord’s descendant said.
“Lord Envoy is right. Thank you for your help, Lord Envoy. I will immediately make preparations. We will definitely satisfy you.” The seventh heaven Immortal King immediately thanked him and left happily.
“You guys guard the surroundings. Don’t let anyone disturb me!” The King Lord’s descendant said to the guards beside him.
“Yes, Young Master!” The guards lowered their heads and replied.
Only then did the King Lord’s descendant enter the dimensional s.p.a.ce in satisfaction.
As the dimensional s.p.a.ce was closing, Lin Jiufeng seized the opportunity. With his current cultivation base, his body transformed into nothingness and he silently entered the dimensional s.p.a.ce.
In this dimensional s.p.a.ce was a majestic palace.
Inside, it was simply an independent small world. There were mountains and rivers everywhere, and there were even many palaces and buildings sitting in the beautiful mountain scenery.
This was simply a sanctuary-like land and a wonderland.
The King Lord’s descendant was very satisfied with this environment. He found a place and meditated cross-legged, beginning to cultivate.
Lin Jiufeng was about to make a move, but suddenly, the King Lord’s descendant spoke.
“Tomorrow, 3,000 people will be chosen to partic.i.p.ate in the War of Extermination. Then, it will be the Seven Races Convention. At that time, we will discuss the subsequent matters. Those people from the previous era who have yet to die have also been included in the plan to be exterminated this time. If I can kill one of them, I will definitely make Father look at me in a different light. At that time, I will have a chance of letting him help me break through from the Immortal King Realm and enter the Immortal Emperor Realm.” This King Lord’s descendant looked forward to the war.
Lin Jiufeng who was hiding in the dark raised his brows.
After the Immortal King Realm was the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The Immortal Emperor Realm was equivalent to the Crystal Skeleton Realm.
‘As expected, a King Lord is an existence stronger than an Immortal Emperor. My guess is correct.’ Lin Jiufeng’s heart was very heavy.
The combat power of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age was too terrifying.
‘I have to infiltrate the interior of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age in order to find a solution!’ Lin Jiufeng placed his gaze on the King Lord’s descendant in front of him.
[Sky-Stealing Change] technique, activated!
Lin Jiufeng reached out his hand to the other party.
