Capítulo 1462: Chapter 48: Secrets of the Netherworld
“Who are you? Why hide in the shadows?” Lin Feng spoke as if facing a great enemy, his expression grave.
“I have never hidden!” The voice sounded again, and this ti Lin Feng could clearly hear it coming from sowhere.
He looked to the left and saw a human head erge from the rock wall.
Crack, crack.
Then.
A sound like bones grinding against each other erged.
A figure, emaciated like wood and resembling a Fierce Ghost, stepped out from the rock wall.
His body seed to rge with the rock wall.
Now leaving the wall, he seed a bit unaccustod, his body slightly swaying as if he might fall at any mont.
But Lin Feng dared not underestimate such a mysterious being.
For he did not know how many thousands of years this being had lived.
“Who are you?” Lin Feng asked.
“The one who guards the Blue Stone Coffin,” the figure, dry as a Fierce Ghost, responded.
Then he added, “For so many years, no one has been able to reach here, I almost hate to kill you, but this is the Forbidden Land, and you must die.”
“Boom…”
A terrifying aura emanated from this figure that resembled a Fierce Ghost.
Lin Feng had never felt such a terrifying aura before; it was truly powerful. In front of this being, he felt as small as an ant.
“Not good…” Poison Ancestor’s expression changed drastically, just as powerless against this Stone Coffin Guardian.
“Your fate is to be buried here, to sleep eternally!” The Stone Coffin Guardian struck, slashing toward Lin Feng and the others with a power that enveloped Lin Feng in a thick aura of death.
“Buzz.”
At this critical mont, a golden light shot out from Little Yaoyao’s body.
The golden light shone on the Stone Coffin Guardian.
The Stone Coffin Guardian exclaid in surprise, “This is… the Bloodline Power of Emperor Taiyin, you are Emperor Taiyin’s daughter.”
The Stone Coffin Guardian withdrew his attack, his ancient and weary eyes looking at Little Yaoyao in Lin Feng’s arms.
The Stone Coffin Guardian’s appearance was frightening, and Little Yaoyao was clearly scared, burying her head in Lin Feng’s chest, not daring to look at him.
Seeing the Stone Coffin Guardian halt, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “That’s right… Little Yaoyao is Emperor Taiyin’s daughter. Could it be that you, senior, know Emperor Taiyin?”
The Stone Coffin Guardian replied, “Through the endless ages, guarding the Blue Stone Coffin, waiting for the Great Emperor destined to pass, this is my fate!”
Lin Feng’s mind was shaken—the Stone Coffin Guardian’s words contained so much.
Endless ages, this indicated the Stone Coffin Guardian had lived a trendously long ti, perhaps even forgetting how many years he had been alive.
And his fate was to guard the Blue Stone Coffin—previously, Poison Ancestor said the Blue Stone Coffin was the coffin for burying a Great Emperor.
So, this mysterious guardian of the Blue Stone Coffin, had he witnessed more than one Great Emperor?
Personally buried more than one Great Emperor?
Did he even bury Little Yaoyao’s father, Emperor Taiyin?
Yet Lin Feng suddenly had a very strange thought.
Looking at the Stone Coffin Guardian, who seed neither human nor ghost, Lin Feng felt that the “fate” he spoke of seed a bit like a kind of curse.
Lin Feng said, “I once t a cursed Cultivator who turned into a fire crow, unable to ever leave the Cursed Cave Mansion. Senior, have you been cursed too, guarding this Blue Stone Coffin through the ages?”
“Yes, I am cursed, and this is my fate,” the Stone Coffin Guardian sighed.
Lin Feng asked, “Senior… what cursed you?”
At this mont, Lin Feng thought of the cursed Heavenly Master Lineage.
The Heavenly Master Lineage, unable to see each other.
Upon seeing each other, calamity would befall them.
This too was a curse.
Of course, whether there were other curses within the Heavenly Master Lineage, Lin Feng was not clear for now.
…
“What cursed ? Let think…” the Stone Coffin Guardian murmured.
“Ah!”

Suddenly, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, ripping through the air as if unbearable to hear.
“I can’t rember, I really can’t rember. Every ti I try, I am overco with unimaginable pain.”
The Stone Coffin Guardian clutched his head, screaming in agony.
Poison Ancestor said, “It seems his mory has been erased.”
“The cursed fire crow seed to have its mory wiped too…”
Lin Feng frowned, pondering the matter.
This was too bizarre.
The curse… what kind of power was it?
Why.
In this world.
Were so many strong individuals cursed, losing all their mories?
And then.
Granted endless lifespan.
But this lifespan.
Was spent endlessly repeating one task.
…
“There are many things I can’t rember clearly,” the Stone Coffin Guardian finally sighed.
Lin Feng said, “Perhaps it’s better not to rember, this way the pain won’t be too great.”
“Perhaps…” the Stone Coffin Guardian muttered to himself.
Lin Feng asked, “Did Emperor Taiyin fall here?”
“Emperor Taiyin was the last Great Emperor I encountered. He ca here, his life nearly over. I told him to lie in the Stone Coffin, that was his destiny—to disperse into ashes, the best fate, avoiding enslavent after death. Self-extinguished Great Emperors cannot escape being enslaved,” said the Stone Coffin Guardian.
Lin Feng was terrified.
The news from the Stone Coffin Guardian was too frightening.
Fallen Great Emperors would be enslaved?
Could it be the souls of the Great Emperors were enslaved?
Poison Ancestor and Wang Chongming were also stunned, clearly shocked by the news as well.
Since the war among Primordial Life.
Great Emperors were the world’s strongest beings.
Who could enslave a Great Emperor’s soul?
“Enslaved Great Emperors? What’s going on?” Lin Feng asked.
The Stone Coffin Guardian replied, “After a Great Emperor dies, their soul remains. Ghost soldiers will take the Great Emperor’s soul to the Netherworld…”
“Netherworld?” Lin Feng felt chills run down his spine.
He asked, “Does the Netherworld truly exist? Where is it?”
The Stone Coffin Guardian said, “Primordial Life first divided the world into the Three Realms and Six Paths, these Three Realms and Six Paths stand above the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and the Netherworld is one of the Three Realms.”
“But the Netherworld is Ethereal, only those who co from the Netherworld know how to reach it, others have no way to go there. It is the realm of Dead Spirits, the paradise of the dead.”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, trying to absorb the Stone Coffin Guardian’s words.
The Undying Realm, Jiuzhou Continent, Exile Great World—all these should be within the Three Thousand Great Worlds, right?
And above the Three Thousand Great Worlds were the Three Realms—Immortal Realm, Netherworld, Mystical Chaos Realm.
The Six Paths refer to Hell Path, Hunger Ghost Path, Beast Path, Human Dao, Asura Path, Heavenly Dao.
The Three Realms are part of the real world.
While the Six Paths are the Order of Heaven and Earth.
But they’re Order of Heaven and Earth above the Three Thousand Worlds.
For instance, all Heavenly Dao laws now are an evolution of the “Heavenly Dao”—one of the Six Paths.
Lin Feng said, “So Emperor Taiyin lay in the Stone Coffin to achieve his transformation, didn’t he?”
“No… Emperor Taiyin did not enter the Stone Coffin.” The Stone Coffin Guardian said.
Lin Feng’s face changed slightly. “Did not enter the Stone Coffin? If Emperor Taiyin transford outside the coffin, that ans Emperor Taiyin’s soul would be seized by the Netherworld’s ghost soldiers and enslaved by those unknown horrifying beings within the Netherworld?”
