Chapter 417: Lord General Appointing Platform

The incomparably eerie and terrifying black hole connected to an unknown direction. Lin Jiufeng advanced with the Immortal Slaying Sword.

After advancing for an unknown period of time, he heard a bang. Waves of whimpering entered Lin Jiufeng’s ears, accompanied by dense death energy.

Light yellow clouds passed before his eyes. Lin Jiufeng finally saw light. Although this light was extremely weak, in the incomparably dark black hole where one couldn’t even see their own fingers, this light still gave him hope.

In the very next moment, he clearly felt that his spiritual consciousness could now spread out. Although the range wasn’t big, only about 100 feet.

Just a distance of 100 feet already allowed Lin Jiufeng to see his surroundings clearly.

Through the light of his spiritual consciousness, Lin Jiufeng could see that this seemed to be a huge black hole with no end.

But on both sides of the black hole, there were some small holes that seemed to be able to lead to the outside world. Lin Jiufeng watched constantly along the way, but he didn’t choose to enter those small holes. The Immortal Slaying Sword was still constantly advancing, he couldn’t help but continue forward.

Just like that, this continued for an unknown period of time. Lin Jiufeng didn’t know how many small channels to the outside world he saw. In the end, he also began to become numb.

Right at this moment, the Immortal Slaying Sword suddenly stopped in front of him.

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up as if he saw hope. He quickly leaned forward, reached out, and grabbed the Immortal Slaying Sword that stopped.

Boom!

But in the very next moment, a great sense of crisis appeared in his heart. At the same time, Lin Jiufeng felt a terrifying force suddenly crash into his waist. He was instantly sent flying like riding the clouds, directly crashing into an exit.

This force suddenly approached, and it quickly arrived in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes with a terrifying speed. Lin Jiufeng couldn’t react at all. He didn’t even have the time to use the Immortal Slaying Sword to resist before he was directly sent flying.

Pu!

Lin Jiufeng spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt an intense pain in his organs as if they had been displaced. To him, such an encounter was rare after he became an Immortal King.

‘This isn’t the power of an Immortal King, nor is this a power of someone who has just entered the Immortal Emperor Realm. It’s that kind of terrifying existence that’s far stronger than ordinary Immortal Emperors.’ Lin Jiufeng said to himself in his heart. He was very surprised that such a power suddenly appeared in this incomparably mysterious black hole, catching him off guard.

He directly rolled into one of the countless small exits on both sides of the black hole. He rolled for tens of thousands of feet in this small exit before Lin Jiufeng stopped and looked around. He had arrived in front of a majestic valley.

“Where is this?” Lin Jiufeng observed his surroundings and stood up with difficulty. He held the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand and used it to support his body like a walking stick.

That force just now really hurt him too much. Even now, his organs were still faintly aching, he couldn’t display even a fifth of his strength.

Lin Jiufeng needed to recuperate for a while.

“A mysterious black hole with countless exits. This is just one of them. What secrets does this valley have?” Lin Jiufeng observed his surroundings carefully and discovered that this valley was very unusual.

Because of his injuries, Lin Jiufeng could only use the Immortal Slaying Sword as a walking stick to move forward continuously. He looked at the incomparably majestic valley in the distance. The valley revealed endless mystery in the shadows.

The place where Lin Jiufeng was at wasn’t far from the center of the valley.

He slowly walked over. Along the way, he constantly used the cultivation techniques in his body to heal his injuries. With each step, his injuries healed slightly. The immortal energy in this valley was incomparably dense and even surpassed immortal energy, reaching a higher level.

Lin Jiufeng absorbed this huge amount of energy to repair the injuries in his body, but his eyes were fixed in the distance.

Wu wu wu!

In the valley, there was a vast and mighty wind that blew past. It was very terrifying.

Lin Jiufeng saw many desolate mountains that were split into pieces because of this. At the periphery of the valley, many mountains were directly blown into dust, leaving only dilapidated walls.

As Lin Jiufeng continued to advance, his brows also frowned deeply.

The distant valley was pitch-black. But after approaching, Lin Jiufeng heard the roar of a war soul. It was like a thunderclap that reverberated in the valley as if it caused a tsunami and an earthquake. It was very terrifying, but all of these sounds came from the valley.

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t hear anything from the place where he first came in. He could only hear it when he was close to the valley. The deeper he went, the louder the sound became, and the more terrifying it was.

In the very next moment, what scared Lin Jiufeng, even more, was that the General Appointing Platform that had been silent in his body suddenly awakened.

“There’s an enemy up ahead!”

A weak voice came from the General Appointing Platform as if it was telling Lin Jiufeng something.

“What do you mean?”

“What did you sense? What exactly is in front?”

Lin Jiufeng immediately asked. He stared fixedly at the valley in front of him and the General Appointing Platform that had recovered in his body.

But the General Appointing Platform didn’t answer. Instead, it quickly rushed out of Lin Jiufeng’s body and directly rushed towards the distant valley.

“Wait…”

Lin Jiufeng hurriedly shouted, but he still couldn’t pull the General Appointing Platform back. At this moment, the General Appointing Platform seemed to have been stimulated by something as it directly rushed towards the nameless valley!

Boom!!

But after the General Appointing Platform rushed over, it collided with the outer area of the valley. A violent ball of golden light blocked its path.

Lin Jiufeng quickly rushed over to take a look. At this moment, the General Appointing Platform had actually awakened by itself. It frantically absorbed all the energy in the surroundings of the valley, then transformed into a ferocious strike that directly suppressed down.

Boom!

The General Appointing Platform displayed a majestic power at this moment. It directly crushed and shattered the ball of golden light. Then, it rushed into the mysterious valley in front of it forcefully.

Lin Jiufeng immediately followed the General Appointing Platform and directly entered this mysterious valley.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Right at this moment, shocking sword lights came from the air. They were incomparably terrifying, directly piercing through the sky and the earth. Accompanied by endless killing intent, they swept over, causing the expression of Lin Jiufeng, who was at the peak of the Immortal King Realm, to change drastically as he quickly retreated.

“Don’t harm my master!”

The General Appointing Platform directly shone brightly, condensing thick chains that directly swept through the air, shattering these huge sword energies one by one.

‘This is already a battle at the Immortal Emperor Realm. The General Appointing Platform has always been quiet. Why has it suddenly become so powerful at this moment?’ Lin Jiufeng was dumbfounded. If the General Appointing Platform had displayed such powerful strength in the past, he wouldn’t have experienced those complicated situations.

After the General Appointing Platform shouted and shattered the sword energies, no other sword energies swept over from the mysterious valley.

The Platform slowly descended and stopped in front of Lin Jiufeng.

“What exactly happened to you?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform and asked.

In the past, the General Appointing Platform was just a powerful magic treasure. It didn’t have much autonomous consciousness. Among all of Lin Jiufeng’s magic treasures, there was only the Light of the Homes which had its own consciousness. From the beginning, it had already given birth to its own consciousness and was constantly evolving. From the beginning to the end, the General Appointing Platform didn’t display the ability of a truly intelligent magic treasure. Therefore, at this moment, when the General Appointing Platform suddenly displayed true intelligence, Lin Jiufeng was really surprised!

“I don’t know either,” the General Appointing Platform replied in puzzlement.

“You don’t know either?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform and reached out to stroke it. The feeling of spiritual connection from before was still there. The General Appointing Platform was still his magic treasure, but he didn’t know what changes had happened inside, giving it this incomparably mature intelligence.

“Previously, I was in a deep sleep until Master approached this mysterious valley just now. I was suddenly awakened. This place is very familiar. I have probably stayed here for a long time in the past. There are my enemies here.” The General Appointing Platform recalled carefully.

“This is a place that you once stayed for a long time?” Lin Jiufeng looked at this mysterious valley. There was a trace of thought in his eyes as he asked, “Then, do you still remember everything that happened back then?”

Before Lin Jiufeng obtained the General Appointing Platform, what exactly was it for? Where did it come from? Who built it? What kind of glory had it once had? Lin Jiufeng didn’t know these things.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng was also very curious now. What exactly was the relationship between this valley and the General Appointing Platform?

“I don’t remember. I’ve been in a deep sleep for too long, and I’ve forgotten too many things. I should have been incomparably familiar with this place in the past. After I got close, my memory is slowly recovering. Master, let’s explore this place together,” the General Appointing Platform said softly.

“Alright, then let’s explore together.” Lin Jiufeng nodded in agreement.

Da da da!

In the dark valley.

Lin Jiufeng’s footsteps reverberated. Other than that, the huge valley was silent.

It was as if the roar of the ancient soul that Lin Jiufeng heard outside didn’t exist.

As Lin Jiufeng continued to walk forward, the General Appointing Platform circled around him.

The size of this valley far exceeded Lin Jiufeng’s imagination. There was actually a mountain standing tall in the valley.

Countless weapons were inserted into the mountain peak.

“I didn’t see anyone along the way, but I saw countless weapons.”

“These former weapons were definitely powerful, but under the corrosion of time, these weapons have already lost their former sharpness. They are rotten and fragile, unable to withstand a single blow.” Lin Jiufeng picked up a halberd by his foot and stretched out his finger to tap it. With a soft bang, the halberd directly shattered into dust.

“They were once treasures of the Immortal King Realm and above here,” the General Appointing Platform looked around and said slowly.

“They were all weapons at the Immortal King Realm and above?” Lin Jiufeng was very surprised as he looked around.

Roar!

Suddenly, an ancient ferocious beast pounced out from the darkness ahead. It silently pounced towards Lin Jiufeng.

This ancient ferocious beast was extremely huge, like a Black Tortoise, but it had one more head than the Black Tortoise. Moreover, there were uneven marks on its body. Its huge claws were the size of a millstone. They slapped over rapidly and fiercely, causing Lin Jiufeng to frown. The Immortal Slaying Sword quickly blocked in front of him.

Boom!

The claws of the behemoth collided with the Immortal Slaying Sword, directly erupting with a string of terrifying sparks, illuminating the dark valley.

“The strength of a peak Immortal King!” With this exchange, Lin Jiufeng determined the strength of this huge beast.

But before Lin Jiufeng could continue his attack, this ancient ferocious beast actually disintegrated on its own. Like steam, it quickly evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

“What’s going on?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform and asked.

“These are all formed from the souls of the divine weapons that died in battle here. They are very unstable. After colliding a few times, they will automatically disintegrate.” The General Appointing Platform stared carefully at the disintegrated ancient behemoth and gave the answer. Its memory recovered a little. This made it look solemnly into the depths of the valley. At the end of the countless mountains, its enemies were waiting for him.

“Didn’t they say that it’s very difficult for weapons or magic treasures to give birth to their own intelligence? Why are there so many here?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“It’s very difficult for weapons or magic treasures to give birth to their own intelligence. This concept is something that was only proposed in these few eras. In the past, weapons and magic treasures were the same as living creatures. They could both give birth to their own intelligence. Especially magic treasures or weapons at the Immortal King Realm and above, they would be injected with their own intelligence. This is also the reason why there are so many weapons that were once at the Immortal King Realm and above in this huge valley.” The General Appointing Platform explained carefully.

“I see. Different eras will actually have different changes. From the looks of it, the ancient era is even more glorious than now. Then, what era were you born in?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the General Appointing Platform and asked.

“I really don’t know when I was born. A portion of my memory seems to have been cut off, but another portion seems to have been sealed. What I recall now is still intermittent. When I find the real answer, I will tell Master.” The General Appointing Platform replied to Lin Jiufeng.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you. Let’s continue forward now.” Lin Jiufeng turned around and continued forward. He continuously crossed the mountain peak along the valley and advanced another ten-plus kilometers.

Right at this moment, a sword light shot out from the tall mountain peak beside him. The cold air was oppressive. It suddenly erupted in front of Lin Jiufeng and directly spread out, slashing towards Lin Jiufeng like a rainstorm. It generated countless resplendent lights and divine radiance that captured one’s eyes.

This sword energy was filled with a mysterious power that was impossible to display at the Immortal King Realm. This was definitely a terrifying power at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Moreover, it was no longer filled with power to destroy the world but was like a trickle of water that directly slashed over.

Lin Jiufeng’s skin turned slightly cold. A sense of crisis burst out. If it was an attack at the Immortal King Realm, he wouldn’t have to care at all. But this already involved an attack of the Immortal Emperor Realm level. He had to be very focused in order to not be injured.

Seeing this, the General Appointing Platform directly rushed over. It bloomed with a resplendent light and transformed into a barrier to block this storm-like attack.

But in the very next moment, these sword lights split into two, two into four, four into eight. Almost instantly, they transformed into millions of sword lights, each of them resplendent and terrifying to the point of being almost freakish.

“Suppress!”

At this moment, the General Appointing Platform stimulated a powerful fighting spirit. After it came out of Lin Jiufeng’s body, it had been absorbing the huge energy in the valley. At this moment, it supported a terrifying light that covered the world and instantly blocked the attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The tens of thousands of sword lights directly collided with this light curtain and completely dissipated with a bang.

But Lin Jiufeng instantly saw a figure standing behind the sword light.

“There’s someone inside that mountain,” Lin Jiufeng directly shouted.

The General Appointing Platform didn’t hesitate to instantly charge into the mountain. With a bang, it found the person that Lin Jiufeng mentioned.

Although it looked like a person, it was actually a sword, a sword in the shape of a human face.

“Weapon Spirit?” Lin Jiufeng caught up and said in surprise.

“You guys are outsiders?” The longsword in the shape of a human face asked. It wasn’t afraid. Instead, it looked at the General Appointing Platform and Lin Jiufeng calmly.

“What is this place?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked. It wasn’t easy for him to encounter an intelligent magic treasure. It wasn’t like before where it instantly condensed and also instantly dissipated. Therefore, he had to use this chance to ask clearly.

“You guys dare to barge in without knowing what this place is? Aren’t you guys too bold?” The human-faced sword sneered.

“Speak, otherwise, I will crush you on the spot.” The General Appointing Platform simply and directly suppressed down, bending the longsword in the shape of a human face. As long as the General Appointing Platform exerted a little more force, the longsword in the shape of a human face would shatter.

Simple and violent.

Lin Jiufeng looked at this without saying anything. He also agreed with this method.

“Lord General Appointing Platform, please stop!” The human-faced sword begged for mercy on the spot and said with a respectful tone.

Lin Jiufeng was directly stunned. This sword that was in the shape of a human face wasn’t weak, it had the strength of an Immortal Emperor. However, it actually addressed the General Appointing Platform as Lord.

“Why are you calling me Lord?” The General Appointing Platform was also confused.

“Because you were once one of the masters of this valley. I was once a Combat General under you. Don’t you remember?” The human-faced sword asked.

Lin Jiufeng and the General Appointing Platform fell silent.

Lin Jiufeng was surprised by the former status of the General Appointing Platform.

As for the General Appointing Platform itself, it was reminiscing.
