Chapter 686: 686
The skeletons are so resistant . They must be well-known high-level Supreme Gods . Maybe they were as strong as Supreme God Zi Dian and the others . Their skeletons can’t be destroyed by abstruse fire though . Not bad!, thought Lin Feng, surprised . If he managed to become that strong someday, he’d be happy . He also knew that at such levels, it was much more difficult to become stronger .

“What’s that?” Lin Feng was about to leave when he saw a shiny bright emerald green light flashing on a skeleton . It was difficult to see, one had to be look carefully to see anything . But Lin Feng was in an ocean of red and purple flames, so he noticed different colors even better than outside .
He crouched down and looked at that skeleton . A word was flashing on it, then he noticed sentences .
I am Supreme God Xiao Sa, I became a high-level Supreme God after a thousand years of practice . Now, I am already over twelve thousand years old . I was sick of being lonely and trying to become stronger without any real purpose, so I came into this ocean of flames . But I was the victim of a plot, and I died in here . How sad…
If someday someone finds my body in here, please take it, I can’t thank you enough for that . No need to go and avenge me . As a sign of gratitude, I have a Tao skill, I can transmit it to you, but remember, you may never transmit it to anyone else .
Lin Feng read the emerald green words on the skeleton . He was astonished . This was a cultivator of the top of the Supreme God layer, and he had been the victim of a plot?
“Tao skill of Nature and Freedom . ” Lin Feng took the Tao Skill off the skeleton and read it . He couldn’t understand everything yet, he had to practice and study it . It was an incredible Tao skill after all, it wasn’t possible to understand it in the blink of an eye . This was also Lin Feng’s third Tao skill .
He had obtained two Tao skills from San Zun, the Blood Skill of the Great Tao and the Tao Skill of General Principles . But San Zun’s skills were written in a language Lin Feng understood, Supreme God Xiao Sa’s Tao skill was entirely written in an ancient language which Lin Feng didn’t understand . Lin Feng was extremely happy to have found it though, as it was definitely extraordinary .
After memorizing it, he clasped his hands and bowed before Supreme God Xiao Sa . Even though he didn’t know him, he had just learned an incredible thing from him, and he needed to show respect .
“Master, I will bring your skeleton outside and I will bury you in a nice place . You will be able to rest in peace and forget the humiliations you endured in this ocean of flames,” Lin Feng promised seriously, and put the skeleton into his ring .

“The nine other skeletons must be high-level Supreme Gods, as well . They were probably as strong as Supreme God Xiao Sa . Even though you didn’t leave any notice or letter, I will definitely help you and bury you in places where you can rest in peace . How could anyone humiliate you and let you suffer in the ocean of flames for eternity?” Lin Feng sighed to the other skeletons . He got ready to pick up all the skeletons .
“Thank you, young man,” said a sad voice suddenly . That voice resonated in Lin Feng’s heart . Lin Feng’s expression changed quickly . He stared at the nine skeletons and looked for the one who had just spoken .
“Don’t be surprised . I am dead already . I am just a small thread of spiritual soul, I hoped that someone would find us someday, but we had given up already . A few more years and my last thread of spiritual soul would have disappeared . Luckily, you came . ”
Lin Feng could hear that voice, but he couldn’t see anyone because it was just a thread of spiritual soul, not a broken soul .
“Master, what is your last wish; tell me and I’ll do my best to achieve it . If I fail, please don’t blame me,” replied Lin Feng, glancing around .
“Hehe, smart young man; where are you from? Where is your teacher from?” asked the old man with a laugh .
“I am an independent cultivator, I am not from the Country of Eternity . I come from a lower world and I came here for new opportunities, to broaden my horizons,” Lin Feng answered . He didn’t need to lie to dead people, so he told the old man the whole truth .
When the old man heard Lin Feng, he was stupefied . Then he laughed and said, “Oh, I see, you’re a little friend from the Continent of the Gods .
“No problem, it doesn’t matter anyway . We’re lucky that you showed up .

“Young man, the other skeletons were like brothers to me . We were all like brothers . ”
“My name is Song Zhen Tang . Two hundred thousand years ago, people called me Great Honorable and Venerable Song . I was the leader of Song Country . Young man, how is Song Country doing nowadays?”
Lin Feng was stupefied; he didn’t know what to say, so he just replied, “Master, Song Country doesn’t exist in the Country of Eternity!”
“Hehe, it must have been destroyed a long time ago, then!” When the old man heard that, he was surprised and disappointed . He had already expected that answer though, he just wanted to make sure .
“Anyway, my eight friends and I were all high-level Supreme Gods . I am Great Honorable and Venerable Song, they’re Honorable and Venerable Song I, Honorable and Venerable Song II, Honorable and Venerable Song III, …, Honorable and Venerable Song IX . We came here to try and become stronger, but we failed and died .
“We’re not happy, but there’s nothing we can do because we are dead already, a tiny thread of spiritual soul can’t do anything .
“Kneel down, young man,” said the old man gravely . Lin Feng shuddered; he didn’t want to kneel down, but then he remembered a tiny little thread of spiritual soul was talking to him, a poor old man…
Lin Feng didn’t entirely kneel down, he just put one knee on the ground . The old man was surprised, but then he laughed quietly .
“Little boy, we’re going to transmit everything to you . I hope you’ll study hard and break through to high-level Supreme God, then you’ll be able to avenge us .
“Song Country has been wiped off the map by someone, try and investigate; if you find out who did it, then avenge us . Thank you .

“All our transmissions are in our feet, you can release pure Qi to inspect them .
“I see that you have a particular type of body, a primal chaos body . You’re lucky; it’s a gift from heaven to us, the Songs . Thanks to your primal chaos body, with our transmissions, you’ll get twice the result with half the effort . Good luck, young man!” said the old man . His voice was already much weaker . He continued talking, but after a little while, Lin Feng couldn’t hear anything anymore .
Lin Feng remained silent for a long time, before standing up and putting the skeletons in his ring . He should have been happy, he had just obtained ten Tao skills, and he would become extremely strong thanks to them, but now Lin Feng felt even more under pressure .
Lin Feng even found the old man a bit sly . He had made him kneel down to transmit those skills to him, then he started enumerating conditions . At first there was no reason to refuse, but at the moment when Lin Feng had reasons to refuse a few things, the voice had disappeared, so he had no choice but to consider it a promise . He had to do what the old man had asked him, otherwise he’d feel guilty .
It didn’t matter, though . Lin Feng smiled wryly . Since he had obtained their transmissions, why not do a few things for them . Song Country?
Lin Feng had never heard of Song Country, but he would do his best to find the ones who had destroyed it .
After putting the skeletons in his ring, he decided to leave . He couldn’t pick up all the skeletons, there were easily ten million skeletons there…
———–
The longer Lin Feng spent in the ocean of flames, the more dangerous it got . He could sense that his abstruse moss was weakening with time . He had to leave before it completely disappeared .
Lin Feng flew up . As he flew up, he hoped the ocean of flames wasn’t endless . He didn’t think the Supreme Gods who had died in there had come through Qi Yang Tai, either . Therefore, Lin Feng was convinced there was another entrance, he just didn’t know where .
The ocean of flames was really wide . Lin Feng guessed that it was as big as the Country of Eternity, but underground? Lin Feng didn’t exclude the possibility .
Lin Feng continued flying . The flames where he was at were still purple, and he was in even more pain .
——–
Half an hour later, Lin Feng decided to retrace his steps, he couldn’t continue in that direction, the purple flames had slowly started penetrating into his body . If Lin Feng hadn’t had a primal chaos body, he would have burned to ash and died already .
I have to leave, thought Lin Feng . He didn’t like doing things in a rush, but this time he had no choice .
——-
Two hours later, Lin Feng arrived at the entrance of Qi Yang Tai . He could see the flashing white lights, and a few minutes later, he was back in the hundred-meter-wide small space .
Lin Feng quickly pushed the button to close the entry to the ocean of flames . Quickly, the temperature dropped from tens of thousands of degrees to thousands of degrees .
Lin Feng had the impression he had been dreaming .
