Chapter 411 – Dugu Bubai

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A mysterious world, a mysterious valley, and mysterious sword energy.

After Lin Jiufeng stabilized his blood energy, he let out a long breath and felt the pressure.

This wasn’t easy.

After he returned to the mortal realm, his strength skyrocketed. After entering the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, he had never experienced such a powerful pressure.

Even when the three Immortal Emperors of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age attacked the mortal realm, it also wasn’t a problem for Lin Jiufeng.

At that time, he felt the pressure.

But that was all.

Unlike just now, when the sword energy shot out and swept through the sky, the pressure forced him to retreat.

“This definitely far exceeds the three Immortal Emperors of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. There’s actually such a terrifying existence in the mortal realm?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the huge valley with doubt.

His eyes were deep as if he was staring at the abyss. Everything here was filled with a sense of death, and in the huge and deep valley, there was the lingering light of sword energy.

“Did this place once belong to the mortal realm?” Lin Jiufeng asked softly.

Everything here had traces of time. It had been uninhabited for many years, and the surroundings had already been dilapidated. Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry to enter the center of the valley first. He wandered around the pavilions and buildings.

Ta. Ta. Ta.

…

Lin Jiufeng’s footsteps reverberated in the dilapidated buildings.

This once-prosperous building no longer had any human aura. Lin Jiufeng could still see the shadow of the past in these dilapidated buildings.

In a reception hall, there was a long table with more than ten chairs placed on both sides of this table. Lin Jiufeng walked in. He reached out and patted a chair.

Just like that, the chair disappeared with the wind. It had long rotted.

In the past, the chairs and tables had already been weathered by time.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t care about this. His gaze was attracted by a board in the center of the hall.

This signboard hung quietly in the center of the hall. If he didn’t look up, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all. Lin Jiufeng’s heart was greatly shocked when he saw this signboard the moment he entered.

Two words were written on the signboard.

Mountain Shu!

Lin Jiufeng frowned. A memory of the past instantly appeared in his mind.

When the mortal realm encountered a great catastrophe, before the Seven Races of the Ancient Age appeared, the world was once ruled by the Myriad Races. Before the Myriad Races, a God of Darkness appeared. They also left a record of themselves in the history of the world.

Then, Lin Jiufeng heard a legend.

This legend came from the Barbarians, the Barbarians who had once taken in the Human Race.

During the era of the Myriad Races, the Human Race was born weak and had no way of protecting themselves. Therefore, they had to rely on other races and were subordinate to the Barbarians at that time.

But then, the world changed drastically. The Barbarians also began to seal themselves. The only memories they had told Lin Jiufeng were that the Human Race had once been glorious and rose to power.

At that time, the faction that led the rise of the Human Race and shone with glory was called Mountain Shu.

Lin Jiufeng had always remembered this story in his heart. He had once carefully searched for the answer. Unfortunately, regardless of whether it was official history, unofficial history, or biography, the name of the faction known as Mountain Shu had never appeared before.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t know what this Mountain Shu was. Where did they come from? What was their motive? Were they the ancestors of the Human Race? How powerful were they?

These questions troubled Lin Jiufeng, making him puzzled. Even though he searched for the answers through the books, he still gained nothing in the end.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng gradually suppressed the matters regarding Mountain Shu in his heart and didn’t mention them again till now.

Lin Jiufeng came to this mysterious Small World and saw these buildings that had long been abandoned. He saw the word ‘Mountain Shu’ in this council hall.

Memories of the past appeared one after another.

Regarding the mysterious organization, Mountain Shu, how powerful was it exactly? What role did it play in the Human Race 10,000 years ago?

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng, who was standing in the hall, had his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at the signboard of Mountain Shu, a probing look in his eyes.

“As the ancestors of the Human Race, what exactly did you guys protect in the past? Why isn’t there any information about you guys? At that time, the Seven Races of the Ancient Age should have been sealed, but you guys still didn’t leave any information about you guys.” Lin Jiufeng asked softly.

He knew that no one would answer his question, but he had to ask.

The former Mountain Shu was like a meteor that streaked across the sky, existing very briefly. There were no records of it at all.

If he didn’t know of such a situation from the bits and pieces recorded by the Barbarians, Lin Jiufeng probably wouldn’t even know that a powerful faction had appeared in the Human Race 10,000 years ago.

The sword energy left behind by this powerful faction in this small world still made the most powerful Immortal King of the Human Race in the world tremble in fear even after tens of thousands of years.

In the empty hall, the long-rotten tables and chairs, the dusty signboard, and the dusty floor were quiet. No one answered Lin Jiufeng’s question.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t need to come up with an answer here. There was no answer in this empty hall anymore.

He stared deeply at the signboard of Mountain Shu. Then, he turned around and left the hall, heading straight for the huge valley.

The air in the valley still smelled faintly of sword energy.

Yes, the fragrance of sword energy.

Or rather, the fragrance of the Sword Dao.

Although the highly satiated sword energy in the air couldn’t harm Lin Jiufeng, it still had a huge deterrent effect on ordinary Immortal Kings or those below the Immortal King Realm. It could even be said that the path to the valley was a demonic path that would take the lives of everyone who walked in.

‘As the former strongest powerhouse of the Human Race, what exactly happened in Mountain Shu?’ Countless thoughts flashed in Lin Jiufeng’s mind, but they disappeared one after another.

These thoughts were all his own guesses. More than 10,000 years ago, at the end of the era of the Myriad Races, Mountain Shu of the Human Race rose to power. What exactly had this faction done in the long river of history, and what responsibility had it shouldered?

Lin Jiufeng needed to find the answers himself.

He looked at the center of the valley.

The answer was probably in the center.

It was just that the sword energy surrounding this valley gave Lin Jiufeng a headache.

Lin Jiufeng gritted his teeth and directly rushed in.

Right at this moment, a cold sword light suddenly erupted. It slashed towards Lin Jiufeng from the center of the valley. In an instant, the sword light that condensed was like a divine rainbow, resplendent and dazzling.

Lin Jiufeng knew that if he wanted to enter the center of the valley, he had to defeat this sword energy.

Hence, he forcefully activated the Life Force Great Dao Array Formation and the Light of the Homes to protect his body.

At this moment, the candlelight lit up slightly. The light flourished and blocked the sharp sword energy.

Lin Jiufeng walked into the center of the valley under the pressure.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

But in the very next moment, the sword light split into two, two into four, four into eight. At this moment, it transformed into thousands of terrifying sword energies. Each of them was resplendent and terrifying to the point of being demonic.

Lin Jiufeng’s pupils shrank rapidly. He sensed that this power could definitely kill Immortal Kings. Even ordinary Immortal Emperors would die here.

If these sword energies were placed in the outside world, just this power was enough to destroy endless mountains and rivers. It would probably be easy to tear apart this world.

“Exterminate!”

Lin Jiufeng took out the Light of the Homes at this moment. This supreme magic treasure that had grown up with him transformed into a hazy fire of light that instantly covered the heaven and earth of the valley.

Only then did the hundreds and thousands of sword lights completely collapse with a bang and transform into sword energy that evaporated on the spot.

Only then did Lin Jiufeng see the appearance of the center of the valley.

“This is… a sword tomb?”

Lin Jiufeng observed curiously.

A huge tomb appeared before his eyes.

Looking down from the sky, this tomb looked like a longsword that had been stabbed into the ground.

On the tombstone, Lin Jiufeng saw a few words.

“Tomb of the Sword Sage, Dugu Bubai!”
