Chapter 360: Hurrying Up
On the way, the crystal skull sighed and said, “It’s also incredible that Giant City is still here until now. When the King of the Netherworld was at her peak 20,000 years ago, they were already here and are still here now. There aren’t many people who can pass down their legacy in the Death Realm for so many years.”
Black Skeleton said, “Then we have to be careful. Giant City has been passed down for so long, its foundation is deep. Who knows what capabilities it has? We have to be careful.”
White Skeleton also said, “That’s right. We only have one powerhouse now, which is Immortal King Lin. If a conflict really erupts, we will be at a disadvantage.”
The crystal skull said, “Don’t worry. The Giant City back then should be called the Giant Nation now. After so many years, there should be quite a number of branches developed. The one we need to go to now is one of the branches. Find a skeleton that sells information and then buy the information that we want. Then, we will leave immediately. We won’t be discovered.”
The crystal skull also knew its own limitations. It knew that Lin Jiufeng definitely had no chance of winning against Giant City now.
“Alright, just be careful. It should be fine. Don’t be afraid, I’m here. We won’t cause trouble, but we aren’t afraid of trouble either!” Lin Jiufeng said firmly.
“Tell me where Giant City is. I’ll bring you guys there now. We can’t delay any longer. I keep feeling that if we stay in the depths of the Death Realm for too long, something major will happen,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.
Anxiety rose in his heart.
Although he was lucky enough to come back to life in the Death Realm, the mortal realm was still filled with problems. Countless troublesome matters were waiting to be handled by him.
He couldn’t waste too much time in the Death Realm.
If he really delayed until the Seven Races of the Ancient Age ignored the array set up by the King of Recovery and descended completely, that would definitely be a disaster.
At that time, countless people would die in the mortal world.
Bones would fill the land, starved people would be everywhere, rivers of blood would flow, and corpses would be piled up like mountains…
All of these could happen.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng didn’t delay. After the crystal skull pointed in a direction, he immediately brought them along and left.
Boom!
Passing through the mountains and waters, crossing countless mountain ranges, Lin Jiufeng finally saw more than ten huge cities. On the vast plains, they constantly spread and were connected one after another. Finally, he saw the main city sitting on a mountain range, surrounded by 18 large cities.
At first glance, he said affirmatively, “This is a huge array formation. Using the earth veins and the city as the veins of the array formation, it then combined to form a huge killing array!”
He was an array formation master, he was good at array formations.
Especially the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation. It had once integrated into his body, bringing a huge improvement to him. It also improved his understanding of array formations.
He saw through the secrets of the array formation in Giant City at a glance.
Moreover, this wasn’t a defensive array formation. It was a huge killing array. After it was activated, it would kill.
“As I said before, when a city is built, there will definitely be array formations, but most of them are defensive array formations. There are rarely such offensive array formations. From this, the personalities of the skeletons in Giant City can be seen,” the crystal skull said.
“Then, should we still go in now?” Black Skeleton asked.
“Of course. Immortal King Lin will bring us along. This way, the target will be smaller and we won’t be easily discovered,” the crystal skull said.
Lin Jiufeng stored the three of them, the bronze tablet, and the coffin into the spatial space of the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield.
The Sword of the Ancient Battlefield was a magic sword used by those of the five-colored skeleton level. It definitely had a spatial space within it. It wouldn’t be a problem to protect them by keeping them inside this spatial space.
Lin Jiufeng himself executed the Primordial Concealment Technique and silently approached one of the Giant Cities.
This branch of the Giant City was heavily guarded, but it was definitely unable to guard against Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng had the Primordial Concealment Technique, so he wasn’t discovered. He easily entered this Giant City.
[Do you want to Sign-In at the Giant City?]
These words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Lin Jiufeng immediately said, “Sign in!”
Arriving at the Giant City and triggering a sign-in, he naturally had to sign in.
Lin Jiufeng also wanted to know what he could sign in at the Giant City.
[Sign-In successful. Received Triple Tidal of Waves!]
Lin Jiufeng was confused upon hearing this. What the hell was this? He had never even heard of this Triple Tidal of Waves.
Lin Jiufeng had no choice but to start looking through the information.
[This is a magical ancient technique. When executing the Triple Tidal of Waves, it can make your cultivation base and combat power become like a huge wave. The three layers will overlap and erupt with an even stronger power.]
This was the only message.
But Lin Jiufeng already understood.
A happy expression appeared on his face. This Triple Tidal of Waves was used to improve his strength. It was an important enhancement to his strength.
Especially now that he had reached the Immortal King Realm and didn’t have any powerful magic treasures. Although he could also kill enemies of a higher realm, in the depths of the dangerous Death Realm, Lin Jiufeng still wanted to continue becoming stronger.
After all, Lin Jiufeng was still quite a distance away from the goal of suppressing the Death Realm with a flip of his palm like the King of the Netherworld.
With this Triple Tidal of Waves, Lin Jiufeng could definitely erupt with a huge amount of power.
After learning the Triple Tidal of Waves, Lin Jiufeng finally had the time to size up this Giant City.
Unlike ordinary cities, the buildings in this city were all very tall. After all, the skeletons in the city were mostly eight to ten meters tall. It was normal for the buildings to be taller.
Giant City was no different from a city in the mortal world. It was filled with very lively scenes.
The only difference was that they were all skeletons.
Looking around, various colored soul flames were stored in the skulls of the skeletons. They chatted and discussed something. It looked very different from the mortal realm.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t ask about openly. He used his mental strength to control a red soul flame skeleton. Then, he walked to an alley with it. In a corner, Lin Jiufeng asked it, “Is there a skeleton selling information in the Giant City?”
The controlled skeleton said in a daze, “There’s a skeleton selling information. You just need to take out enough soul flames to exchange for information.”
“Who’s selling it?” Lin Jiufeng continued to ask.
“The officials of the Giant City have it, and there are also those selling it in private in the black market. The price is slightly cheaper, but the accuracy of the news isn’t as accurate as the ones sold by the officials,” the skeleton said.
“Where’s the black market?” Lin Jiufeng continued to ask. He also observed the surroundings and didn’t find anything abnormal.
“I will draw the route to the black market for you. You just have to look for that one. Remember, knock on the door three times gently, three times hurriedly, and three times dully. Say that there isn’t enough news, and ask the owner to provide some support. This is the secret signal. Don’t make a mistake when you go there.” The controlled skeleton said honestly and even carefully advised Lin Jiufeng not to make a mistake.
Lin Jiufeng remembered these in his heart. He looked at the map route drawn by this skeleton and was very satisfied.
“Now, walk out and do what you usually do. Forget all of this,” Lin Jiufeng ordered it.
This skeleton walked out of the alley in a daze. About 100 meters later, it jolted and looked around. It touched its skull and the soul flame jumped. It directly left.
Lin Jiufeng held the map and went to look for the black market.
The streets and alleys in the Giant City were all incomparably huge. Those eight-meter tall skeletons didn’t notice Lin Jiufeng at all.
The Primordial Concealment Technique was just that powerful.
Finally, when Lin Jiufeng was a little speechless from turning here and there according to the map, he found the location on the map.
This was a black house with a tightly shut door as if there was no one inside.
“I don’t have any more soul flames.” Lin Jiufeng stood in front of the door and suddenly thought of an awkward matter.
“Let’s use the old method to bewitch this skeleton,” the crystal skull suggested to Lin Jiufeng.
“Will it be useful against a skeleton from the black market?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“There’s definitely no problem. They aren’t powerful, they just know a lot and belong to some organization. It’s not like they will place a five-colored skeleton here to sell information,” the crystal skull said.
Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng could only follow.
Fortunately, they only came to ask about the situation in the depths of the Death Realm and wouldn’t hurt this skeleton that sold information.
In front of the door, Lin Jiufeng followed the skeleton’s instructions. He knocked on the door three times gently, three times hurriedly, and three times dully.
Sure enough, there was movement inside the door.
Lin Jiufeng immediately said, “We don’t have enough information. Please provide some support.”
Creak!
The door was slowly pulled open. A skeleton opened the door.
This was a golden soul fire skeleton. Just as it opened the door and looked at Lin Jiufeng, it met his eyes.
Boom!
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were extremely aggressive. He instantly locked onto this skeleton soul, then comforted it and hypnotized it.
“I gave you a lot of soul flames, you have to answer my questions obediently!”
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng implanted this thought into its soul flame.
Even a golden-level soul flame couldn’t withstand this move of Lin Jiufeng. It really thought that Lin Jiufeng had given it a lot of soul flames. It said obediently, “Guest, please come in.”
Lin Jiufeng walked in and the skeleton immediately closed the door.
Candles burned in the dim room, illuminating the house and dispelling the darkness.
It was only then that Lin Jiufeng noticed that there were many scrolls in the house that recorded different news.
“Guest, what do you want to ask?” The golden soul flame skeleton asked.
Immortal King Lin released the crystal skull and the two skeletons from the spatial space. He let the crystal skull ask, and he listened at the side.
He had just come to the depths of the Death Realm and knew nothing about this place. He didn’t know what to ask either. It was better to be a bystander.
It was better to leave the matter of obtaining information to the crystal skull.
It definitely had a lot of questions.
In reality, the crystal skull really couldn’t hold it in anymore. As soon as it came out, it asked, “Is there still any news about the King of the Netherworld in the depths of the Death Realm?”
Lin Jiufeng felt that the crystal skull was abusing its power for personal gain. It was concerned about the news of the King of the Netherworld, but didn’t she already leave the depths of the Death Realm?
“There’s no news of the King of the Netherworld. The King of the Netherworld only appeared for a short while. After she appeared 20,000 years ago and then disappeared, she never appeared again. Some people said that she had found the Well of Heaven Ascension, and some people said that she had died in the depths of the Death Realm. But this news has been from 20,000 years ago. There’s no news at all now, and no one will talk about her,” the golden soul flame skeleton replied.
Very obviously, the crystal skull’s mood instantly fell.
The King of the Netherworld that it was constantly thinking of was really like a flower that bloomed fleetingly and never appeared again.
Seeing the crystal skull like this, Lin Jiufeng’s eyes suddenly rolled as he asked, “Was there a skeleton beside the King of the Netherworld in the past? How is it doing now?”
The soul flame of the crystal skull was greatly shocked as it looked at Lin Jiufeng.
Why was Immortal King Lin suddenly asking about its news?
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were instantly interested. Even their soul flames were jumping excitedly.
“There is such a skeleton. Some people say that it’s a pet raised by the King of the Netherworld, and some people say that it’s an admirer of the King of the Netherworld. It abandoned everything to follow the King of the Netherworld. It was remembered by everyone not because it’s very powerful, but just because it’s a skeleton following beside the King of the Netherworld,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
“A pet? What nonsense…” The crystal skull mumbled, very dissatisfied with this legend. It was the King of the Netherworld’s benefactor, okay?
“Shut up and listen to it.” Lin Jiufeng interrupted the crystal skull’s muttering.
“The last time that skeleton appeared was 20,000 years ago. After the King of the Netherworld disappeared, everyone said that she found the Well of Heaven Ascension and left the Death Realm. The only person left who knew about the Well of Heaven Ascension was that skeleton, so it was hunted down by the major factions in the depths of the Death Realm.”
“In the end, it died. It would rather die than tell them the whereabouts of the Well of Heaven Ascension. Its bones have been burned until now,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the crystal skull. This fellow was telling the truth and didn’t continue lying.
“Alright, don’t ask these ancient questions anymore. I’ll ask some of the current ones,” the crystal skull said.
Lin Jiufeng stopped talking and let the crystal skull continue asking.
“What major events happened in the depths of the Death Realm recently?” The crystal skull asked.
“The biggest thing is that a bone dragon broke into the depths of the Death Realm and also injured several five-colored skeletons of Giant City. It continued to move deeper into the Death Realm,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed. He knew about the bone dragon.
In the Yin River, it was also because of the might of the bone dragon that Lin Jiufeng was able to obtain so many soul flames and broke through to the Immortal King Realm.
At that time, the bone dragon had already broken into the depths of the Death Realm. Unexpectedly, it also had a conflict with the Giant City.
“Why did the bone dragon enter the depths of the Death Realm?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Because of the Well of Heaven Ascension,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
“Has the Well of Heaven Ascension been discovered?” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up.
“There’s news from some top factions, but we didn’t manage to obtain it. But since the bone dragon rushed in from the outside, the Well of Heaven Ascension must have appeared. Right now, the depths of the Death Realm are preparing for this matter. The situation now is a very tense one. Five-colored skeletons are killed every day,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
“What are the actions of the Giant Race?” The crystal skull asked.
“The Giant Race has already organized a group of five-colored skeletons and entered the core area deep in the Death Realm to search for the Well of Heaven Ascension. Now, the people of the various large factions have all gone there. Some lone five-colored skeletons have also gone there. Even crystal skeletons have appeared,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
“Do you have their routes?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“There’s no need for a route. Just set off from Giant City and continue to go deep into the Death Realm. From there, you can discover them. They haven’t gone far. But you have to be fast because they’ve already gone for a day,” the golden soul flame skeleton said.
“Alright, thank you. Forget about today’s matter, forget about us, and continue living your own life.” Lin Jiufeng decisively hypnotized the golden soul flame skeleton. Then, he quickly left the Giant City with the crystal skull and the two skeletons.
He had to make the best use of his time and catch up to the Giant City’s group.
“You want to let the five-colored skeletons of the Giant Race pave the way, while you hide behind and enjoy the fruits of their labor?” The crystal skull guessed Lin Jiufeng’s thoughts.
“Of course. This is an excellent opportunity. I have the Primordial Concealment Technique, they won’t be able to discover me. Following them will save me a lot of trouble.” Lin Jiufeng admitted. This was what he planned to do.
