Chapter 102: The History of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race all had their own shortcomings
And they were able to supplement the weaknesses of each other with their strengths.
This was why they were able to form a group in the previous era.
But every group or team would eventually fall apart.
When the previous era came to an end, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race also came to an end.
After each of them left in a fit of anger, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, went to participate in the construction of the demon’s den beneath the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s Cold Palace.
The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, went overseas and set up a large array formation on a small island to completely seal himself.
The others had their own places to go. In any case, they weren’t together anymore.
This was also why in this era, the locations where the Seven Great Sages appeared have been all different and distant from each other.
“Since you guys have already gone your own separate ways, why are you still pleading on his behalf?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.
“Our relationships were nurtured over an entire era. We supported each other when we were weak and we’ve experienced a lot together along the way. He once risked his life to save me too. Even if he won’t listen to me, I can’t just watch as Demon King Jiao dies,” said the Heaven Raising Bull.
A relationship that was nurtured over an entire era.
His few simple words contained countless years of companionship, laughter, and fooling around together.
Demon King Pingtian was a sentimental person, which was why he begged Lin Jiufeng to spare Demon King Jiao’s life.
“I spared Demon King Jiao. You owe me a favor for that,” Lin Jiufeng said.
Demon King Pingtian nodded and replied, “You’re right. I owe you a favor. If you have any needs in the future, just tell me. As long as it’s something that I can do, I will definitely do it. If it’s something that I can’t do, I will do my best to ask the other brothers for help.”
His words were sincere.
Demon King Pingtian also knew that the reason why Demon King Jiao was still alive was because of Lin Jiufeng giving him face.
But to be honest, his face wasn’t worth much.
When he spoke, he wasn’t confident at all.
After all, his relationship with Lin Jiufeng was that of a boxer and a punching bag.
Lin Jiufeng had been suppressing the demon’s den for ten whole years, and only today did he talk so much with Lin Jiufeng.
In the past, not a word between them was exchanged.
It wasn’t until Lin Jiufeng beat and severely injured him that Demon King Pingtian’s relationship with Lin Jiufeng became ‘closer’.
The type of special relationship between the attacker and the person being attacked.
Hence, when Lin Jiufeng agreed, Demon King Pingtian truly was surprised.
Then, he felt very grateful.
At the very least, Lin Jiufeng spared Demon King Jiao’s life for his sake.
Thus, he made a solemn promise.
If Lin Jiufeng needed his help in the future, Lin Jiufeng just had to ask.
If he couldn’t do it, then he would go look for his brothers for help.
“Why wait for the future when you can help me out now?” Lin Jiufeng interrupted Demon King Pingtian’s thoughts and said directly.
Demon King Pingtian was stunned.
He looked at Lin Jiufeng and blinked his huge eyes.
Then, he said solemnly, “Please give me your order. I will definitely do what I can.”
Lin Jiufeng looked at his serious look and said with a smile, “There’s no need to be so serious. What I want you to do is not so troublesome. I just want to ask you a few questions.”
Demon King Pingtian was dumbfounded.
He was already prepared to go all out to complete Lin Jiufeng’s request.
For example, clearing out the troubles in the world for the Yuhua God Dynasty?
Working for the Yuhua God Dynasty for decades?
Although it was hard for him to accept this kind of request, a gentleman would never go back on his word. As long as Lin Jiufeng said it, he would definitely do his best to complete it.
But who would have thought that Lin Jiufeng only wanted him to answer a few questions?
Demon King Pingtian asked, “What do you want to ask?”
“Are you one of the original builders of the demon’s den?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Yes, I participated in the construction of that demon’s den.” Demon King Pingtian nodded.
“Why was that place chosen for the demon’s den?” Lin Jiufeng continued to ask.
“Because that place is a Land of Extreme Negative Energy. It can gather the spiritual energy of the world and it won’t let it dissipate so easily. It can also maintain the spiritual energy in the air for a very long time,” Demon King Pingtian replied.
“Was that area already like that when it was discovered in the previous era?” Lin Jiufeng asked with a rather pensive look.
“Yes.” Demon King Pingtian replied almost immediately.
Lin Jiufeng frowned.
Not long after entering the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng had already discovered the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
In the beginning, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was still very weak.
It only nurtured the spirit of Imperial Consort Jia and turned her into a malicious spirit.
But that malicious spirit had no offensive power at all.
At that time, Lin Jiufeng was puzzled as to why the might of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was so weak.
As time passed, he discovered the ruins of the Chasing Corpse Sect and was finally able to somehow resolve a few of his questions in regards to the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
But at the same time, the Chasing Corpse Sect discovered that it was a Land of Extreme Negative Energy. That was exactly the reason why they built their former sect on the land where the current Cold Palace stood.
But they weren’t the people who created the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
Then, Lin Jiufeng discovered the Demon Lord’s palace.
He thought that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was made by the Demon Lord.
But who knew that the Demon Lord had only used the Land of Extreme Negative Energy to suppress the demon’s den?
Then he discovered the 3,000 plus demons in the Devil’s Den.
He thought that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was created by them.
But hearing the words of Demon King Pingtian, it seemed that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy existed here before they came.
Thousands of years had passed since then, but the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was still around and thriving. With the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was also recovering along with it.
Lin Jiufeng wanted to know who created the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace.
But after going through it layer by layer, it turned out that the people he suspected were not the masters of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
Even the demon’s den that Lin Jiufeng thought highly of had been a latecomer to the party.
Moreover, during the previous era, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy already existed before they found it.
“How did you guys discover the Land of Extreme Negative Energy back then?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
The events of the previous era touched upon Lin Jiufeng’s blind spot in knowledge.
He could only ask Demon King Pingtian about it.
“In the previous era, a lot of us knew about that place. It wasn’t just us. In fact, a shocking battle once took place in that Land of Extreme Negative Energy.” Demon King Pingtian recalled.
A man and a bull stood by the Wei River beneath the misty rain.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone in the world, they actually began to chat.
Lin Jiufeng wanted to deeply investigate the mystery behind the birth of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
They completely disregarded the people around them as they chatted about the things that they were interested in.
“A shocking battle happened?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“That’s right…”
“There were too many people who wanted the Land of Extreme Negative Energy back then, including those from the Daoist sects, Buddhist sects, and the sects overseas…”
“All of them wanted the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. The battle was very intense, and countless people died. The Land of Extreme Negative Energy was baptized in a river of blood back then.” Demon King Pingtian lamented as he recalled the past.
“You said that you would release every demon from the demon’s den when the time comes. Once you’ve done that, you will discover that there are many corpses buried in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Each of them was once peerless and magnificent figures of the past,” Demon King Pingtian said to Lin Jiufeng.
“Their corpses are still intact after thousands of years?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
“In that war, many major forces were implicated…”
“They were all top sects, and they were also the symbol of that era’s glory. Every single one of them was stronger than you are now. It’s not out of the ordinary that their bodies are still intact despite them—being dead for thousands of years by now.”
“Moreover, they are also buried in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, including the Sect Leader of Kunlun, the King of the monster race, and the unaffiliated cultivators overseas. When you have the opportunity, you should go and dig them up,” Demon King Pingtian said.
Lin Jiufeng said in disdain, “Would I dig up corpses?”
“I don’t have such a strange hobby!” Lin Jiufeng firmly stated.
