Chapter 351: Yin River

Being called cowards, Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were so angry that their faces changed.

They were indeed very cowardly, but wasn’t this their nature? It wasn’t like they wanted to be like this.

Now that they were with Lin Jiufeng, they were already doing their best to control it.

This crystal skull had already become like this, yet its mouth was still so poisonous.

White Skeleton wanted to crush the crystal skull.

But after trying for a while, it gave up.

The toughness of the crystal skull far exceeded its imagination. Even if White Skeleton used all its strength, it still wouldn’t be able to crush it.

“Alright, since you have figured us out, you should know what our current goal is. Where is the door of life and death in the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?” Lin Jiufeng asked solemnly.

The longer he stayed in the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, the more dangerous Lin Jiufeng felt.

This kind of danger came from the depths of his heart. There was no reason or evidence. In any case, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Hence, he stared at the crystal skull. If the crystal skull was still stalling for time, he would let the other party know what the anger of a good-natured person was like.

The crystal skull was very decisive. It directly said, “The doors aren’t far ahead. There’s a vast bronze hall. There are two doors standing tall inside. Enter and choose one. After choosing one correctly, you can leave.”

“Is it dangerous?” Black Skeleton stared at the crystal skull.

“No, the doors themselves are the greatest threat, there’s no need to set up other threats. In theory, 50% of the people who choose will get to live, but that’s not the way to calculate the scores. It’s possible that among ten people, all ten people will also die. To each person, it’s a one in two chance. Either they die or they live.” The crystal skull seemed to know that this good-natured man, Lin Jiufeng, was about to become angry. It said everything extremely decisively and logically.

Lin Jiufeng looked at it and scolded in his heart, ‘You’re still pretending to have amnesia in front of me? You know so much, do you look like you have amnesia?’

But the most important thing now was the Doors of Life and Death.

In front of life and death, everything was a small matter.

Lin Jiufeng directly waved his hand and said, “Let’s go to the Doors of Life and Death!”

He took the lead and walked rapidly, constantly advancing towards the depths of the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.

Along the way, small mountains of bones of various heights could be vaguely seen.

Behind him, Black Skeleton carried the bronze tablet while White Skeleton held the crystal skull and followed closely behind.

Soon, Lin Jiufeng saw the bronze palace.

This was a palace that only emperors of the mortal world had. The bronze was suffused with a luster and had a unique texture. Touching it seemed to be touching an exquisite piece of art. A cold and ancient feeling came.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the crystal skull and asked, “Do you know why this bronze palace is here?”

“How would I know? I’m just a crystal skull with amnesia.” The crystal skull immediately rejected answering.

Lin Jiufeng gnashed his teeth in anger. This fellow was pretending to be forgetful again.

“What’s the point of asking these questions? You’ve already come to the bronze palace, why aren’t you going in to take a look at the Doors of Life and Death?” The crystal skull urged Lin Jiufeng. It seemed to be concerned about Lin Jiufeng, but in essence, it just didn’t want Lin Jiufeng to continue asking it.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t ask anymore. In any case, he couldn’t gain any information from the crystal skull. He directly walked to the main door of the bronze palace. What he saw was a half-closed bronze door.

He reached out and pushed, and the door opened.

Then, Lin Jiufeng saw two huge doors standing tall in the center of the bronze palace.

One black and one white!

The same colors as Black Skeleton and White Skeleton.

The two doors slowly rotated, changing their locations. It was impossible to guess which was the door of life and which was the door of death.

Behind Lin Jiufeng, Black Skeleton squeezed in. It looked at the huge black and white doors that were slowly spinning. Its soul flame jumped as it said, “Why is it the same color as us?”

“Could it be…” White Skeleton began to daydream.

“Stop fantasizing. The most common colors of the skeletons in the Death Realm are black and white, these two colors can be found everywhere. Don’t draw connections between this to yourselves. You guys aren’t worthy of being associated with the Doors of Life and Death,” the crystal skull said.

At this moment, White Skeleton really wanted to smash the crystal skull into pieces.

Its mouth was too despicable.

Lin Jiufeng walked forward and looked at the two doors. He observed carefully and was very serious, but he didn’t discover anything.

Other than the two doors having different colors, the other parts of the door were identical. It was impossible to distinguish which door represented life and which door represented death.

Lin Jiufeng was a bold person. He opened both the doors.

The world behind the door was undoubtedly also in black and white.

He couldn’t see through it, nor could he guess it.

Black Skeleton asked in distress, “What should we do in this situation?”

“Must we really just make a wild guess and hope for the best? Isn’t it a little irresponsible to rely on blind guesses and place your life on something like luck?” White Skeleton said.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t speak. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk, but a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In before the Doors of Life and Death?]

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Doors of Life and Death. He was overjoyed. He had just encountered trouble when the opportunity to sign in came.

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed in his heart.

“Sign-In successful. Received a wisp of the Undying Substance!”

Lin Jiufeng’s happy mood instantly disappeared.

He had signed in for the Undying Substance once before, but he still didn’t understand its use.

Now, he gained another wisp of the Undying Substance.

Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly. Signing in this time wouldn’t help him at all with regards to leaving the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.

Could it be that these Doors of Life and Death really relied on luck?

Lin Jiufeng frowned.

As for the Black Skeleton and White Skeleton, they had long circled around the Doors of Life and Death. They observed extremely carefully, afraid that they would miss a detail.

“Stop going in circles, it’s making me dizzy. The Doors of Life and Death is just a matter of luck. Can’t you guys just choose one?” The crystal skull said helplessly.

It was held in the white skeleton’s hand and kept spinning in circles. It couldn’t take it anymore.

When Lin Jiufeng heard its complaints, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“White skeleton, bring the crystal skull here,” Lin Jiufeng shouted.

White Skeleton immediately took the crystal skull over and looked at Lin Jiufeng. “What are you planning to do?”

Lin Jiufeng smiled amiably and said, “I’m of course hoping that Senior Crystal Skull can guide us.”

The crystal skull directly said, “I’m an old fellow who has lost my memory and only has a skull left. How can I have the ability to guide you?”

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “You have the ability to. Which of these two doors is life and which is death?”

“I don’t know!” The crystal skull said decisively.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton looked at Lin Jiufeng. The two of them simultaneously felt that it was impossible for the crystal skull to know.

No matter how they looked at it, these were two identical doors, except for the color. How could the crystal skull know?

But Lin Jiufeng took the crystal skull and chuckled. He said, “Since you don’t want to tell me, it’s okay. I’ll directly throw you into the black door.”

He did as he said!

As his words fell, Lin Jiufeng directly threw the crystal skull in his hand. It drew a trajectory and directly flew towards the black door.

This scene shocked the two skeletons.

It also made the crystal skull curse loudly.

“You********** I curse that when you have a son, he won’t have a butt hole, I fu*******.”

The crystal skull cursed very loudly. It was really shocked by Lin Jiufeng.

It didn’t expect Lin Jiufeng to directly throw it into the black door.

This made its plan fail completely. It had no choice but to use all its energy that was transmitted to it by the two skeletons and forcefully changed its direction.

Thump!

The crystal skull instantly collided with the white door.

Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng shouted, “Follow it. The white door is the way out. We mustn’t miss the opportunity.”

Without hesitation, he directly threw himself into the white door.

The two skeletons were also delighted. They directly jumped in too.

Black Skeleton even jumped into the white door with the bronze tablet.

…

The world was overturned.

In the white door, Lin Jiufeng didn’t see anything. It was a vast expanse of whiteness, very dazzling, making him close his eyes.

But he kept feeling that the moment before he closed his eyes, he saw a person wearing a mask.

The mask was made of metal, but it had been shattered. However, the shattered pieces didn’t fall off.

Such a scene entered Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

But under the stimulation of the white light, Lin Jiufeng’s eyes hurt. He was a little unsure if what he saw was real.

After all, most of the time, what the eyes saw could be deceiving.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Just as Lin Jiufeng was thinking of this and being confused, he sensed a heavy pull of falling.

He fell from the white world and fell into a river.

It was as if he had fallen from the Ancient Immortal Court to the mortal realm.

Lin Jiufeng’s entire body was drenched. He stabilized his body in the water and directly leaped out of the water. What he saw was the sky of the Death Realm. The death energy that filled the air was much richer than before. Black Skeleton, White Skeleton, and the crystal skull weren’t far away.

There was also the bronze tablet.

But the bronze tablet kept sinking. Black Skeleton was pulling it and struggling with all its might. It kept spinning, wanting to drag the bronze tablet to the shore.

Lin Jiufeng wanted to fly up, but he discovered that the river water was very, very heavy.

He could swim, but he couldn’t fly anymore.

The two skeletons also discovered this. They didn’t panic. One carried the bronze tablet, and the other carried the crystal skull as they swam to the shore with all their might.

Lin Jiufeng followed closely behind. Like a white fish jumping in the waves, he was very proficient with moving in the water. Soon, he arrived at the shore.

“Pooh!” The crystal skull suddenly spat out a mouthful of water at Lin Jiufeng, expressing its anger.

Lin Jiufeng ignored it. This shameless old skull should be dealt with through such methods.

“I misjudged you. You aren’t a good person, you are a bad person, a very, very bad person. You completely don’t know how to respect the old and love the young,” the crystal skull said angrily.

Lin Jiufeng laughed out loud. His mood became better. He finally left the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation and could advance towards the depths of the Death Realm again.

He said to the crystal skull, “You didn’t make a mistake. I’m still a good person, but you’re a bad old man. You clearly knew which door represented life, but you didn’t tell us. I saved everyone this time. Otherwise, at least one or two of us would have died from this.”

“That’s right. You clearly knew which door was the correct one, but you didn’t tell us and let us try our luck. Why are you so evil?” White Skeleton said unhappily.

“We saved you, we are your benefactors, but you treat us like this. If it weren’t for Great Emperor Jiufeng being smart, we wouldn’t know who would have died.” Black Skeleton was even angrier. It wanted to pick up the bronze tablet and directly smash the crystal skull to death.

“How would I know? I just made a wild guess. When he threw me into the black door, I felt my soul trembling, so without hesitation, I used my last bit of strength and threw myself into the white door.” The crystal skull immediately cried out in injustice.

“I wasn’t planning on deceiving you guys. If I deceived you guys to death, how can I survive alone? I’m just a skull now, I don’t have the invincible strength of the past anymore.” The crystal skull cried, complained, and acted pitifully.

Only then did Black Skeleton not kill it.

But he didn’t have a good expression either. He snorted coldly and looked at Lin Jiufeng.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, what do you think we should do with this cunning fellow?” Black Skeleton asked Lin Jiufeng.

White Skeleton also looked at Lin Jiufeng.

The two of them were truly convinced of Lin Jiufeng’s ability. Following behind Lin Jiufeng, they felt an indescribable sense of security.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the crystal skull and asked, “If you want to continue following us, tell us the secret you are seeking in the depths of the Death Realm. Otherwise, don’t think about following us anymore. I will throw you into the river and part ways with you here. In any case, we don’t owe you anything.”

“We did save you, but you have already returned this favor to us in the Doors of Life and Death just now. Now, we don’t owe each other anything. If you still don’t tell the truth, I will throw you down and let you fend for yourself,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

The two skeletons didn’t speak, but it was obvious that they were 100% supportive of Lin Jiufeng’s decision.

“I just want to enter the depths of the Death Realm and find my body.” The crystal skull was silent for a while before revealing its motive.

“Which part of the Death Realm is your corpse in?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I really don’t know. My memories are all recovering very slowly. I stayed in the Divine of Reincarnation Mountain for a long time before I recovered that portion of my memories. I lost my body and a lot of my memories,” the crystal skull said sincerely.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t comment and just looked at it silently.

“I just know that my body is in a Death City deep in the Death Realm. That Death City is relatively far, so I need you guys to bring me along,” the crystal skull said very sincerely.

“I swear now that once I awaken any memories, I will tell you all. I promise not to hide it.” The crystal skull swore.

“Alright, I will believe you for the time being. I hope you will do as you say. Don’t be like before. If we die, you won’t be able to go deep into the Death Realm either. Please understand this relationship.” Lin Jiufeng spoke. He chose to believe this explanation for the time being, but he would also observe the crystal skull at all times.

“Alright, we are one now. You are so smart, I really didn’t misjudge you. You are a smart and good person.” The crystal skull immediately bootlicked Lin Jiufeng.

“That’s enough. Previously, you said that you misjudged me. Now, you’re saying that I’m a smart and good person. I don’t believe you. Tell me, what’s wrong with this river? Where are we now?” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and observed the surroundings before asking.

“This is the Yin River, don’t you guys know about it?” The crystal skull asked curiously.

“This… Is this the Yin River?” Black Skeleton stood up and asked in surprise.
