Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang smiled and patted Ji Lingxi’s head, saying, “There’s no risk involved, don’t you worry. I’m not Mr. Nian nor am I from the Four Seasons Tower. The heart is different, so the reaction and countermeasure will be different as well. Mr. Nian’s last move will be useless against me.”

Ji Lingxi slapped his hand away furiously and replied, “I’m seriously warning you for the last time. Don’t ever touch my head like this again! You would do well to be wary of my slap if you continue to persist in doing so.”

“Then may I ask how should I touch you so that you don’t slap me?” asked Yun Yang.

“You should…” Ji Lingxi’s answer screeched to an abrupt halt before she turned even more enraged from embarrassment.

“Scram!”

Yun Yang laughed. Taking another glimpse at the blushing beauty, he lingered no further, slipping into the dark passage instantly.

Venerable Lord Frost and company had mentioned that there was a time limit to this passage’s entrance. If one did not exit the path upon the due time, one would be locked inside eternally.

Yun Yang remembered the reminder clearly, but he was here, nonetheless. It was all because…

“One day, if I’ve fallen, I won’t wish for anyone to cultivate with my remains!”

“These bodies were once masterly experts!”

“Out of pure respect to them, I should return these God’s Bones to their rightful owners. I should not let these remains linger in the mortal world to be tainted by others once again!”

Yun Yang was currently speeding through the tunnel at his highest speed but he was genuinely curious. Since he entered the passage, the feeling this realm gave him was a stark contrast against what Mr. Nian and the Venerable Lords had described to him!

It was said that each step would be laden by lead once one entered…

It was said that illusions would haunt anyone who trespassed, and a careless move would cause internal demons to devour and kill the person, destroying his cultivation base as well…

It was said that one’s sight would be hindered once one was inside. The vision was not blinded, rather, all that could be seen was a tattered God’s Grave and a skeleton of God’s Bones before oneself. Everything else was hardly visible. It was either blurry images nearby or total blank farther away.

In spite of this, these hindrances did not exist when Yun Yang entered. Not only was his pace unusually smooth, but his vision and mental state was also utterly clear and vividly detailed.

Could the myth be wrong?

Yun Yang did not notice that Emmie was slowly swaying in his divine sense once he entered the realm. The karmic Qi that he had been collecting for years was slowly spreading and quickly filling the space.

It was the purest energy of justice in this human world. Everywhere he drifted to, the haze avoided him.

There was a wash of light at the far end of the passage. It seemed distant, but Yun Yang’s arrival was only a matter of time. With his current cultivation base, it was only a blink of an eye before Yun Yang sped through the path at his full speed.

Although the young man thought that there was something odd with the current atmosphere, the light on the other end was already right before him. How could he not go on?

As Yun Yang stepped out of the passage, he entered the brightly lit realm.

He was overwhelmed by the dazzling white light immediately, but it was not too blinding as he could still see when he focused his gaze. Glancing around, he realized that there seemed to be no end to the spacious room he stood in, and God’s Bones were scattered around, gleaming with an ivory sheen.

It was apparent that the white gleaming radiance that greeted him came from the massive collection of God’s Bones here!

As the realization struck him, an inexplicable pressure that enveloped the mysterious realm forced itself upon Yun Yang. It felt like it could fall at any time and crush everything within reach into dust, without exception.

Yun Yang dared become careless and mustered the fullest of his strength in case of any untoward incidents. Simultaneously, he exuded his deific consciousness to probe the area around him, only to find tombstones, which was the only other thing besides the God’s Bones. The tombstones were all old and fragmented as well, with nothing legible written upon them.

He could not help being taken aback. The state of the tombstones left no clues or hints. It was impossible to distinguish which God’s Bone belonged to which set of skeletons here. Furthermore, there were more than twelve graves that he could see!

It was not a walk in the park at all to fulfill Yun Yang’s initial wish of returning the God’s Bones to their original owners’ graves.

Thinking about it, Yun Yang could not help chuckling dryly. Putting further thoughts aside, there were far more than two hundred and forty God’s Graves within reach- the tale of the God’s Bones of the Twelve Celestial Beings was simply absurd.

What Yun Yang did not notice was that since he entered the space, the room’s brightness was slowly but surely increasing, like something was slowly being incepted…

Standing in the mysterious realm, Yun Yang was rather stunned. He had imagined many things, including an ambush in the God’s Grave and lethal danger. It was not that he had any ill thoughts; he only wanted to return the God’s Bones. This was probably why he felt that the trip was surprisingly easy. However, despite the lack of danger now, it was equally hopeless to complete his initial wish. A bitter chuckle escaped him.

After some time, Yun Yang retrieved the God’s Bones from his spatial ring and slowly placed them on the ground in front of him. He wished softly, “I have no other intention being here except to return seniors’ remains. I wanted to return them all to their original owners, accomplish the task perfectly, but the reality is the opposite of my wish. This junior is honestly unable to differentiate anything further. Long live seniors’ brave souls, I believe all of you will not blame me for this.”

“I am also a cultivator. Putting myself in your shoes, we bear the most pride in the pack. The stronger a cultivator is, the prouder he will be, and the more he will disallow anyone to humiliate him!”

“Each of you seniors would have commanded the world when you were alive. Even when you lost your senses and cognition after your death, I’m reluctant to see your remains being toyed and wrongly utilized by those with ulterior motives.”

“There’s no other reason for my presence here. This is the empathized dignity of a master! When you were alive, you maintained your dignity, no one dared overstep their boundaries. When you have passed on, we, the later generation, shall preserve it for you.”

“When I heard the tale of God’s Bones, I intended to uphold them. My wish is finally fulfilled today.”

“This is all to my intent.”

“Rest in peace. As your brave souls live on, your God’s Bones are returned. You shall be separated from the world from now on as I wish you peace for the years to come.”

Yun Yang spoke softly for a while before he took a deep bow and moved to leave.

It was his honest wish to return the God’s Bones. Although it was not perfectly accomplished, the trip was not made in vain - his determination had not gone to waste.

Suddenly, there was suddenly a soft, vague voice that spoke out quietly, “Why?”
