When Black Skeleton and White Skeleton heard Lin Jiufeng’s words, they were so excited that they couldn’t control themselves. They immediately nodded in agreement.
“We brothers were brought out by Immortal Emperor Lin in the first place. We’ve seen this resplendent mortal realm and also witnessed the despicable nature of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. We naturally follow Immortal Emperor Lin’s lead. I will definitely participate this time,” Black Skeleton said excitedly.
“A man born into this world shouldn’t live an ignoble life. We should live a glorious life. The Seven Races of the Ancient Age have always oppressed the mortal realm. Now, we can fight back. Even though only a few of us are weak, as long as we hurt the other party, we will be considered to have succeeded.” White Skeleton’s voice was loud and sonorous. It was very excited.
“Very good. If the two of you help me, I will be more confident.” Lin Jiufeng nodded in satisfaction. He looked gently at the two skeletons from the Death Realm. Their origins were unknown, and their identities were unknown, but they were indeed of great help to Lin Jiufeng along the way.
Bringing them along now would definitely play a huge role when they entered the Spell Realm and turned the world upside down.
“Then, Immortal Emperor Lin, when are we leaving?” Black Skeleton asked anxiously.
“There’s no hurry. Although I have the two of you to help me, we still need more people for this trip.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head, indicating for Black Skeleton not to be too anxious.
“More people?” White Skeleton looked at Lin Jiufeng curiously.
“There are already very few people in this mortal realm who can reach the peak of the Immortal King Realm. The only people who are known to be at the Immortal Emperor Realm are the four City Lords from the Death Realm. Although there are some other hidden powerhouses that aren’t weak, they need to guard the mortal realm.” Black Skeleton analyzed carefully.
“I wonder who Immortal Emperor Lin wants to invite to enter the Spell Realm together and do something big?” White Skeleton humbly asked.
“There are quite few powerhouses in the mortal realm, so I plan to invite a few ancient divine weapons to help out on this trip. Each of them has the strength of an Immortal Emperor, and some of them are even at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm. If they are willing to follow me into the Spell Realm, then we will deal a heavy blow to the Seven Races of the Ancient Age on this trip.” Lin Jiufeng looked into the distance. Although there was an endless distance under the moonlight, he still felt the divine weapons that rushed into the mortal realm from the Weapon Armory Valley.
“Immortal Emperor-level divine weapons?” Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were surprised.
There were only a handful of Immortal Emperors in this mortal realm.
They didn’t expect Lin Jiufeng to actually know of some Immortal Emperor-level divine weapons.
“Come with me. They have just entered the mortal realm. I need to persuade them.” Under the night sky, Lin Jiufeng advanced in a direction. He wanted to persuade a powerful magic treasure from the Weapon Armory Valley.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton advanced with Lin Jiufeng, full of questions.
The world was vast and the moonlight was magnificent.
Late at night, the entire world fell into absolute silence.
Even in some forests, the poisonous ferocious beasts had passed the hunting period and were all resting quietly.
Right at this moment, a resplendent sword light streaked across the sky and landed on one of the mountains.
After this sword energy descended, a virtual girl appeared. She held a real longsword in her hand and stood in the air. She looked at this emerald mountain and fell into deep thought.
This young girl was the virtual body condensed from the Spatial Slashing Sword.
The real sword in her hand was her true body.
“How many tens of thousands of years have passed? The world has changed. The most powerful swordsman in the world once lived here. Everyone in the world yearned for this place and came here one after another. But now, this place has been covered by forests and has become a paradise for wild beasts.” The Spatial Slashing Sword’s expression was lonely as she sighed.
Tens of thousands of years ago, she was a magic treasure of the mortal realm. But after her master died, she was seriously injured and fell into the Weapon Armory Valley. Then, she slowly developed her own consciousness and became an awakened magic treasure.
Until now.
The previous Spatial Slashing Sword only had vague memories of her master’s deeds. After all, she had once suffered serious damage.
It was also until now that as she became stronger and stronger, the damaged parts of her body gradually recovered and she remembered some things about her master.
This was also the reason why she didn’t want to stay in the Weapon Armory Valley and wanted to return to the mortal realm.
The virtual girl held the real sword and walked between the mountains and rivers, measuring the former land with her feet.
Her expression carried a trace of sadness, the corners of her eyes carried some tears. She was like an abandoned child searching for her loved ones.
“When Master forged me, he spent his entire life searching for the top materials in the world and spent a thousand years to forge me. I was created by him single-handedly, but I didn’t manage to withstand that pressure at the last moment, causing him to be defeated and die. I still exist now, but he disappeared from the world. Be it in the past or in the future, I can’t find a trace of him.” The Spatial Slashing Sword shed tears as she walked on the land that she had once lived in. She was muttering to herself, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She wanted to find her master.
She wanted to return to that battle.
She felt that the current her could definitely do better than back then. She would definitely be able to withstand the final strike back then and bear this huge responsibility for her master.
But time waited for no one.
Even though she was currently at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm and could pry into a corner of the long river of fate to search for the past and the future, there was no trace of her master in the vast river of time.
This made the Spatial Slashing Sword sad.
She was once helpless. Now, she was powerful, but the past was in the past.
Walking through the mountains and rivers, the Spatial Slashing Sword finally stopped.
This place was still the same place, but the mountains, rivers, and rivers were already different.
It was equivalent to being under the same blue sky and having the bearing of different times and spaces. The Spatial Slashing Sword chased after the past here, but it couldn’t find any memories of the past.
Things had changed.
In the end, the Spatial Slashing Sword stood at the edge of a river. She looked at the reflection of the moon in the clear river and fell into deep thought.
Tears hung on her face. Carrying with them the cold morning light, they dripped into the water, creating ripples that spread out. A figure actually condensed in the lake water.
It was a person holding a sword with his back facing all living things.
Just looking at the back of this swordsman was enough to amaze everyone.
The Spatial Slashing Sword watched in a daze.
The tears in her eyes had already dried up, but the pain in her heart was indescribable.
“Is this your master?” A clear voice sounded behind the Spatial Slashing Sword, causing her phantom to tremble. She quickly turned her head, her eyes turning from guilt, pain, and confusion to a biting killing intent.
Clang!!!
In an instant, millions of water droplets were sent flying from the river. They quickly condensed into tens of thousands of swords that pointed at Lin Jiufeng.
The Spatial Slashing Sword’s incomparably powerful killing intent firmly locked onto Lin Jiufeng.
Even though she had already recognized Lin Jiufeng, even though she knew that she wasn’t a match for him…
But at this moment, she still carried her terrifying killing intent. She transformed all her guilt towards her master into killing intent that locked onto Lin Jiufeng.
Because Lin Jiufeng knew the most important secret in her heart.
A secret that no one had ever known.
Lin Jiufeng calmly placed his hands behind his back. He looked at the Spatial Slashing Sword that was like a lion that had its territory violated and asked, “Your master was once very powerful, wasn’t he?”
The Spatial Slashing Sword’s beautiful face revealed a coldness that was like the ice in an extremely cold place. She said, “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t think that just because you are powerful, you can casually pry into the privacy of others. You brought us into the mortal realm with your own motive. I don’t care what you are plotting, but don’t place your gaze on me.”
At this moment, the Spatial Slashing Sword was like a porcupine with its hair standing on end, curling itself tightly together, making it impossible for others to bite it.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t mind. Instead, he smiled gently and said, “I definitely know more secrets about this mortal realm than you. I can’t guarantee that your master will definitely still be alive, but I can guarantee that your master has a chance of living in this world.”
The expression of the Spatial Slashing Sword was still cold, but her pupils were shrinking violently.
Clearly, Lin Jiufeng’s words affected her mentality.
“Do you know what you are talking about?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked coldly.
“Of course. I’m 100% responsible for what I said.” Lin Jiufeng nodded firmly. Then, ignoring the killing intent, he walked over and stood side by side with the Spatial Slashing Sword. He looked at the back of the swordsman that was gradually dissipating in the lake water and then looked at the Spatial Slashing Sword.
“Have you heard of a place?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“What place?” The Spatial Slashing Sword still looked at Lin Jiufeng coldly.
The only change was that the killing intent that she had used all her strength to lock onto Lin Jiufeng had already silently disappeared.
“The Wasteland of the mortal realm!” Lin Jiufeng said.
The Spatial Slashing Sword was stunned. She carefully recalled this place. From the moment she was born with her memories until now, she searched through all the information she had received.
But she didn’t find it.
This was the first time she heard of the mortal realm Wasteland.
“What is this place?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked coldly.
“Is this the attitude of seeking guidance from others?” Lin Jiufeng glanced at the Spatial Slashing Sword and said calmly. He placed his hands behind his back and stood by the lake without any defense.
The Spatial Slashing Sword condensed all the killing intent that had disappeared just now and locked onto Lin Jiufeng.
But Lin Jiufeng remained as still as a mountain. He just stood there, smiling as he watched the Spatial Slashing Sword.
“What exactly do you want?”
“If you have any schemes, just tell me directly. I don’t have the mood to play tricks with you,” the Spatial Slashing Sword said impatiently.
“I don’t want to do anything, nor do I have any thoughts. I just want to tell you that when asking others for guidance, be more sincere and say the word please with a smile.” Lin Jiufeng gradually grasped the rhythm of their conversation. He even began to tease the Spatial Slashing Sword.
The Spatial Slashing Sword trembled in anger, wanting to directly draw the sword and kill Lin Jiufeng.
It was just that she couldn’t defeat Lin Jiufeng.
Otherwise, she would definitely cut Lin Jiufeng into 18 pieces now.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng’s smile was very annoying in her eyes.
But she had no solution against Lin Jiufeng.
Seeing Lin Jiufeng’s cheeky appearance, the Spatial Slashing Sword took a deep breath. Then, she changed her cold face and forcefully squeezed out a smile. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Please tell me, what kind of place is the Wasteland of the mortal realm?”
“Alright, stop smiling. When you smile, you look like you’re crying. You look so ugly.” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and teased the Spatial Slashing Sword. Then, seeing her rapid change in expression and even the urge to draw the sword, he immediately changed the subject.
“The mortal realm is the main world. Every time the Seven Races of the Ancient Age undergo a great purge, a new world seed will be scattered. It will be born in this world, and the old world will shed,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“So the Wasteland of the mortal realm is also an old world that was once shed?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked with a cold expression.
“No.”
“The Wasteland of the mortal realm is different from those shed worlds. It and the mortal realm are a complete main body. A long, long time ago, it was no different from the mortal realm. It was even the main mortal realm.”
“But after that, the Wasteland was cut out and war after war broke out. The successive wars destroyed everything in that world, that’s why it’s called the Wasteland.” Lin Jiufeng explained in detail to the Spatial Slashing Sword.
“The successive battles didn’t destroy the Wasteland?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked curiously.
“The main world can’t be destroyed and exploded. Although the land of the Wasteland has been destroyed, it’s still a part of the mortal realm after all. Therefore, no matter how chaotic and unbearable the Wasteland becomes, even though no living creature can be born there, the Great Dao is in chaos, the nomological powers are in disorder, and so on, it won’t be destroyed and explode.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
“The Wasteland is the name after it was destroyed by war. Then, what was its original name?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked.
Lin Jiufeng smiled slightly and thought to himself, ‘Fortunately, I asked King De Lin in the Seven Races of the Ancient Age previously and he explained these to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to answer her now.’
What Lin Jiufeng was telling the Spatial Slashing Sword now was what he learned from King De Lin back then.
Back then, Lin Jiufeng, who acted as De Lin II, gained the trust of King De Lin and learned these ancient secrets.
Now, he used these ancient secrets to lure the Spatial Slashing Sword.
“The original name of the Wasteland was the Mountain Sea Realm.”
“The most terrifying group of people in the mortal realm was once born in the Mountain Sea Realm. Those people are still alive now. They continue to hide in the Wasteland and build the Wasteland to become their base camp. Your master might have died in battle, or he might have left the mortal realm and entered the Wasteland,” Lin Jiufeng said slowly.
The eyes of the Spatial Slashing Sword instantly lit up. Like a resplendent gemstone, removing the filth and flickering in the world.
“Then, why can’t I find him in the River of Time, whether it is the past or the future?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked curiously.
“You are only at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm. If your master broke through to a higher realm, how could you possibly find him?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
The Spatial Slashing Sword stopped talking.
Lin Jiufeng’s words were entirely his own guess, there was no evidence.
But she was still willing to believe it.
Because as long as she believed these words, she still had a trace of hope of seeing her former master.
If she didn’t believe these words, there was only one outcome. Her master had already died in battle and would never appear in this world again.
“You came to look for me and said so much, giving me a little hope. What exactly is your motive?” The Spatial Slashing Sword composed herself and recovered her composure. She looked at Lin Jiufeng and went straight to the point.
She didn’t believe that Lin Jiufeng would come to look for her for no reason.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t hide anything. He said generously, “I want to invite you to a place to make a scene and turn the world upside down.”
“Where?” The Spatial Slashing Sword asked.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t answer. Instead, he reached out and pointed at the moon in the sky.
The Spatial Slashing Sword raised her head and looked at the bright moon. Her expression changed.
“We might die!” The Spatial Slashing Sword said solemnly.
“In life, who can not die?” Lin Jiufeng said indifferently.
“We are born and live freely in this world. If we die, so be it. The mountains of the world are the same, it doesn’t matter where we’re buried. Are you afraid of death?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the Spatial Slashing Sword provocatively.
“Before I die, I will definitely stab a few holes in your body.” The Spatial Slashing Sword snorted coldly.
Lin Jiufeng laughed out loud. Then, he turned around and left. As he walked, he said, “Come with me to persuade the Black Tortoise and the Primal Chaos War Spear.. With the two of them, plus you, me, and the two skeletons to provide support, I want the Seven Races of the Ancient Age to have a taste of the horror of the mortal realm of this era!”
