Chapter 2218 - 2200: Golden Skeleton
Chapter 2218 - 2200: Golden Skeleton
The White Cat initially wanted to run away, but suddenly saw an elixir in its paw, and its eyes almost bulged out. A Heavenly Grade elixir! How could it not recognize it? It thought to itself, this young person’s spending is too lavish, casually throwing out such an elixir. Back then, even its master didn’t have many!
At this moment, the White Cat was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the elixir in its paw. It couldn’t distinguish whether this was real or fake. It had been in this Dharma Profound Immortal Realm for hundreds of years, and had never encountered a Heavenly Grade elixir, not to mention a first-grade one...
Seeing the White Cat in a daze with such a cute expression, the corners of Lin Feng’s mouth curled into a smile. He didn’t say much and started to examine the white orb in his hand. Somehow, he felt that this white orb was not so simple, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was unusual about it at the moment.
Only a few breaths later, suddenly a flash of insight appeared in Lin Feng’s mind. He injected some of his Gang Qi into the white orb, and instantly saw many peculiar patterns appear on the smooth white orb. There was no doubt; the orb was also sealed.
Seeing this, Lin Feng already had a rough idea in his mind. His Divine Sense was fully activated, and he began to break the sealing method of the orb...
In just the time of a cup of tea, the white orb disappeared, replaced by a map of unknown material. Although it was very old, the markings on the map were clear. The upper left corner was labeled Dharma Profound Immortal Realm, and in the middle of the map, a mountain was labeled Wangshen Mountain. In the middle of Wangshen Mountain, a circle was drawn, highlighting a Burial Ground.
What... What’s going on?
The White Cat watched this scene with its own eyes, almost stupefied. It never imagined this would be the outcome. It had no idea previously that a map was hidden inside the orb. Looking at the map, it was completely dumbfounded!
But suddenly, seeing Lin Feng intensely focused on studying the map, a sly thought arose in the White Cat’s mind. It wanted to escape while Lin Feng was engrossed in studying the map because it truly didn’t want to be a pet. Yet before it could make a move, Lin Feng casually waved his hand, and a golden light shot into the White Cat’s body.
"You can run now. I’ve imprinted a Soul Imprint on you. If I want you dead, a single thought would be enough." Lin Feng, while looking at the map, said as if talking to himself.
The White Cat naturally knew that Lin Feng was speaking to it. In a flash, it dared not move. Tears gushed out as it rolled on the ground crying, "You don’t play fair like this, you’re bullying me, I don’t want to be a pet... I don’t want to be a pet..."
But at this moment, Lin Feng had no mind to bother with the White Cat. He turned his attention to the map in his hand and began to study where exactly this map was indicating. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that he might have been to this place before, but at the moment couldn’t recall clearly.
Seeing that its attempts to act cute and defiant had no effect on Lin Feng, the White Cat realized its miserable fate as a pet had begun. No matter how much it struggled now, it was futile. So, it stopped bothering to struggle, lying on the ground motionless like a dead cat...
In the blink of an eye, about a cup of tea’s time passed, and Lin Feng finally remembered where the map led. He had actually passed by there while playing with the women earlier. However, with the passage of time, that place had undergone changes; the surrounding mountains had grown taller, and the middle Wangshen Mountain had become slightly smaller. Without referencing the surroundings, he couldn’t have recognized the place.
"Go back and play with your mistress." Lin Feng said simply to the White Cat lying on the ground, then with a wave of his hand he swept the White Cat into the Cave Heaven Mansion, afterwards setting off to find Wangshen Mountain...
The White Cat was taken aback, not understanding where Lin Feng had brought it. But just then, seeing a group of women rushing from afar, its cat eyes almost popped out in shock, and without a word, it turned and ran.
Running with all its might, the strength to suckle came out, but it was only at the level of an initial Demon King. How could it escape the chase of so many women? Within no time, it was caught, thereby beginning its journey as another pet...
"Wow, its fur is so soft, way better than cats on Earth!"
"Isn’t that obvious? It’s a Demon Beast, not an ordinary cat!"
"I suddenly thought of a question: it must have a long lifespan, able to be our lifelong companion..."
...
All the women reached out to play with the White Cat, commenting as they did so. The White Cat stopped bothering to struggle, its eyes filled with tears flowing profusely, feeling utterly indignant. But it wasn’t a match for the women, and with Lin Feng’s Soul Imprint on it, even if it wanted to escape or struggle, it was futile!
In the end, with no other options, it could only close its eyes. But upon hearing the women talking about it being with them forever, it couldn’t hold back any longer. Its eyes flipped and it completely fainted...
......
So this is the place!
Lin Feng looked around at the surroundings and confirmed that the not-so-tall peak before him was Wangshen Mountain. Yet, something about it seemed eerie to him, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint the issue. He hadn’t felt anything when he passed by earlier, but now that he was carefully examining it, he discovered the problem.
Circling around Wangshen Mountain, Lin Feng suddenly noticed there was a special prohibition surrounding it. While there was nothing unusual outside, the Divine Sense could not penetrate the mountain’s interior. This confirmed that this was indeed Wangshen Mountain as shown on the map, only the geological changes over time had made it difficult for him to determine before.
Having confirmed the location, a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng’s lips. He had encountered unknown lands countless times, but this was his first time facing a Burial Ground. He was eager to see what the legendary remains of a powerhouse would look like.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng found a place to sit down, his Gang Qi rising from him like threads and probing into the soil below. At the same time, his Divine Sense was pushed to its limits, searching for a way to break the prohibition.
About an hour later, Lin Feng frowned. He had investigated, and the prohibition beneath was not as simple as he thought. It was a layer resembling a spatial barrier—a situation he was encountering for the first time.
His Divine Sense swept around hundreds of miles without detecting human presence. Instantly, he circulated the Gang Qi on his body to the extreme. In front of Lin Feng, a super drill made of Gang Qi appeared and started drilling according to his arrangement.
Amidst billowing dust and rumbling sounds, within just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he reached the area of the prohibition. Looking at the semi-transparent prohibition, he placed his hand upon it, closed his eyes, and sensed the Space Power on the prohibition...
A day later, a slight smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. In the next moment, a faint white glow appeared on his hand, and then it fused with the semi-transparent prohibition. Just like that, Lin Feng walked inside.
However, once inside, Lin Feng discovered it wasn’t any kind of cave but a peculiar space resembling a void. In this space, there was nothing except for a golden skeleton floating there. The faint golden light illuminated the entire space in a pale gold hue. This golden hue was not glaring; instead, it was comfortable to the eyes, yet it emitted an indescribable aura of pressure that left Lin Feng in awe.
He had never imagined bones could turn golden. Previously, he had only heard of the golden body of the Buddhist ancestors, as depicted in movies. Yet he had never seen it in person. What puzzled him was that the aura emitted from this golden skeleton was not the kind he associated with Buddhism, which left him momentarily stunned.
However, realizing this was the remains of a Supreme Powerhouse, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully before the remains.
"Junior Lin Feng, having fortuitously obtained the map to this place, I come to pay respects to the style of my predecessor. If there is any offense, I beg for your forgiveness."
Lin Feng’s words were very courteous and devoid of any pretense. He truly respected the Supreme Powerhouse before him, even though it was now just a skeleton. This was respect for the powerful, and not a single thought of disrespect crossed his mind.
Just as Lin Feng finished speaking, the gold light of the golden skeleton suddenly intensified. Shortly after, the light gathered above the golden skeleton, rapidly forming the appearance of a middle-aged man, who smiled at Lin Feng.
"Not bad, very not bad. I, Lingtian Sword Monarch, have waited hundreds of years and finally encountered such an outstanding young person like you. This is truly gratifying," the middle-aged man said with a smile as he looked at Lin Feng.
Seeing the apparition, Lin Feng realized this was the Divine Soul the other had stored within the remains. Immediately, he respectfully replied to the middle-aged man, "Predecessor has praised me too much. Lin cannot accept such a compliment."
"Young man, no need for modesty. To achieve your level at your age, the title of genius is well-deserved. Even in my youth, I was far from matching your accomplishments at your age," the middle-aged man responded with a wave of his hand. Then, looking at Lin Feng, he added, "Young man, I don’t have much time. Your arrival here is a result of fate. If you have any questions, I can help clear some up for you, sparing you unnecessary detours in the future."
"Predecessor, to which era of powerhouses do you belong?" Lin Feng asked the middle-aged man his first question.
"Your question is difficult for me to answer. I can only say that in my era, there were countless powerhouses, and many were at the Heavenly Immortal Realm Peak like me," the middle-aged man responded helplessly to Lin Feng’s first question. Indeed, he didn’t know what the current era would call his era.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s response, Lin Feng realized his question was indeed abrupt, and an embarrassed look flashed across his face. After a brief moment of thought, he asked the middle-aged man, "Since you are a powerhouse at the Heavenly Immortal Realm Peak, do you know what realm is beyond the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
