The Everlasting Realm

Episodes. 05: River Styx Part II

The underworld, the realm of death, the realm of the River Styx, is the realm visited by dead souls.

Whatever the form of his Soul, they would come to the River Styx to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation in a different form or being. It was also possible that their souls were divided into six parts to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At this moment, Ji Nie Tian was walking in the Styx River Forest in an erratic direction while looking at the surrounding trees.

"These trees are like ordinary trees." Ji Nie Tian muttered, looking an unconvinced look in his eyes, "I thought they were terrible. But even though the tree looks like it is in the real world, the sky is.." Ji Nie Tian looked at the red sky wide, which at the top of his sky, the moon and the sun were aligned.

Ji Nie Tian shook his head and walked back. Walking in the natural forest of the River Styx is not so difficult, because, unexpectedly, it turns out there are not many bushes and twigs and other natural waste. Nor did much of its root creep out, making it easy for it to walk.

Ji Nie Tian continued walking, until he saw a hungry ghost wandering about. He hid behind a tree, waiting for an opportunity to attack him.

If he devoured that ghost soul, his soul would grow stronger. Obviously Ji Nie Tian wanted it, though,

However, while he was waiting, a man came to the ghost and with a long sword in his right hand, he stabbed the ghost.

Tskkk!

A smooth voice hissed in the forest, not big yet still heard by Ji Nie Tian who was still hiding in the bushes.

After the hungry ghost fell, the man ate it. After eating the starving ghost, his originally dim body, began to glow. Finished eating, he turned his head towards Ji Nie Tian, surprising the young man.

Ji Nie Tian's face froze and he retreated backwards. But before he turned around, something pierced his chest, making him sick, making him suffer, making him lose his mind.

Ji Nie Tian took in a deep breath as possible with a pale face.

As he blinked again, the pain disappeared, yet he fell backward with sweat and a pale face that had a question mark-filled expression.

"What happens is easy, you get stabbed, you die, you lose your life and you live again." The man carrying the sword said in a relaxed tone, and walked step by step to Ji Nie Tian.

"No need to confuse it. If you get stabbed by the sword, you die, it's that easy."

Ji Nie Tian fell silent, and slowly rose to stare at the man, yet in the presence of those casual pair of eyes, he was frightened, trembling nervously and retreated slowly.

"You're great to be able to feel the depth of my strength." The man chuckled and said again, this time with a slight bow, "My name is Qing Yufeng, greetings know, young man."

Ji Nie Tian took another step back hearing Qing Yufeng's words. However he shook his head and looked directly into Qing Yufeng's eyes, then saluted, "My name is Ji Nie Tian."

"You're surnamed Ji?" Qing Yufeng twitched then she asked coldly, "It is rare for a talented cultivator with the Ji clan. Is one of your parents the main descendant of a certain Clan?"

Ji Nie Tian shook his head, "My mother is from Kotq Yueye, and my father is from Longshan Village."

"Then you are the Holder of Fate, Son of Heaven," Thinking of this, Qing Yufeng clucked in admiration.

"I don't think so.." Ji Nie Tian muttered softly, "My father is Immortal Ji."

"Immortal Ji?" Qing Yufeng blinked with a doubtful expression, "Are you sure your father is an Immortal? Immortal can fly, can control heaven and earth, can not be killed anything that still has worldly relations, not people who can fly with swords, split giant stones or cast magic………"

"Of course my father was an immortal. My father could kill a hermit, could a hermit just be killed?"

Qing Yufeng looked at Ji Nie Tian suspiciously, yet she shook her head and nodded her head, "Alright, whatever it is." He paused for a moment and said again, "Young man, I will give you my legacy."

"heritage?"

"Yes," Qing Yufeng nodded her head, "I am the heir of the Cloudstream Sword Primal God. Right now, I want to enter the 6 Paths of Reincarnation to reincarnate, but there are still regrets that hold me back. If you become my Heir, I will help you out through the Six Paths of Reincarnation realm and return your soul to your original body."

"REally?!"

Ji Nie Tian was shocked.

"Of course," Qing Yufeng nodded her head. "I can confidently get you out. When you return, the first thing you face is Heaven's first attempted murder. Every time you are promoted to a new realm, you will face enormous tribulations. You must understand that Heaven cannot let something under its control have no destiny, and the great destiny you hold today will disappear. You will also get rejected by heaven when stepping into the main territory of the 9 Heavens."

Ji Nie Tian gulped his saliva and nodded his head.

"I'm ready."

"Alright, then let's go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Qin Yufeng laughed. It's good to see young people have such hot desires.

After that they walked side by side towards the North………

………

"Because you are my heir, then you are also my first and only disciple, therefore I will tell you a few things."

While walking in front of Ji Nie Tian, Qin Yufeng slowly spoke;

"My inheritance is very deep and has some small followers in the Broad Eternal Dao Border and I want you to protect it and guard it like your family. There are some major enemies, such as the White Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace, so when you meet them, I want you to kill or smash or run away as fast as possible."

"Old stuff, don't think too much, just beat them up. Only with that, you will understand it with your own perspective. The last one is, our legacy is directly connected to the incident of the Destruction of the Six Realms and the Age of Buddha's Proof, as well as the Primal Ice Age."

"In that deep?"

"Yes," Qin Yufeng nodded. "My inheritance, the Cloudstream Sword Technique, is one of the sword techniques that once split the moon and sun. When held by the Hermit, the hermit could split the half-eternal being into two halves. The Cloudstream Progenitor or it could be called the Moon Cloud Immortal Emperor was one of the candidates for the Primal God."

"Primal God?"

"His Majesty's Eternal Land is a very complicated realm. It was divided in two, the Immortal King Level and the Immortal Emperor Level. Only those capable of becoming Immortal Emperors could lead the World. If there was more than one Immortal Emperor, then they would have to lead the world together and they were forbidden by the Heavenly Dao to kill each other. But when an Immortal Emperor becomes a Primal God, they are forbidden to interfere in any matter of that world and they will be pulled from the world to some mysterious place."

"Is that Heaven?" Ji Nie Tian had heard this from his father, so he asked directly, hoping to get a different answer.

"I don't know."

Qin Yufeng replied to Ji Nie Tian with the same answer as her Father, so she was somewhat disappointed.

"Look, that's a line of dead people,"

Summoning Ji Nie Tian, Qin Yufeng pointed towards the endless ranks of the humans.

"They........ are they lined up to wait their turn?"

"really. Indeed, if the Six Realms had not fallen, the ranks would not have been this long and only those with the greatest sin would have entered the ranks, but now.." Think of this, Qin Yufeng shook her head.

"What are the Six Realms? Why are they always called?" Hearing the six Realms being called again, Ji Nie Tian finally asked.

Qin Yufeng looked at Ji Nie Tian, touched his chin and replied, "All I can say now is; the Six Realms is the name of an Eternal Era where there are only Six Realms. It was the most prosperous Era and was called every Ancient Record made since time immemorial. Gods, Humans and Demons coexist, Heaven in its most loving moments. But his love changed………"

Ji Nie Tian wrinkled. "What happened to the Six Realms?"

"Nobody knows. But I know one fact for sure... there was only one heaven, yet now Heaven is many, and each of them defies every risen Immortal. Forget about this, our focus now is on how we enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Wait.........we?" Ji Nie Tian was shocked.

"of course! You're going in!" Qin Yufeng exclaimed.

Ji Nie Tian looked at Qin Yufeng with a strange look then told, "I won't reincarnate."

"Who asked you to come? We'll go inside together, and I'll be the only one reincarnated. I will get you out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation when your soul is sent." Qin Yufeng stopped talking for a moment, looked at the surroundings and said again, "We're going to break through."

"Eh?"

Before Ji Nie Tian said again, Qin Yufeng withdrew Ji Nie Tian's hand and threw the youngster into the sky like a rocket.

When Ji Nie Tian was at his highest point, Qin Yufeng jumped following, caught Ji Nie Tian's hand again and threw him back to the mainland.

But before Ji Nie Tian arrived on the ground, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared. He had Six arms, about 50 feet tall, his eyes were red and shone brighter than the Moon.

"Brawlers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The six-armed creature then swung its hand, about to throw Ji Nie Tian's body back to its origin, but before he could dodge, a sword shot into the arm

The dusss!!!!

The arm was cut off and fell, shaking the world and the sky rumbled.

"Hhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Feeling ill, the six-armed creature roared. But he did not stop and continued to shout as one of his hands sped towards Ji Nie Tian again.

"Brawlers!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But then again, before the Six-armed Being attacked, a sword shot out again and pierced his chest.

"Gahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

He roared again before falling.

"It's still very easy as always." Then, Qin Yufeng darted beside Ji Nie Tian and pulled his collar to get down.

They landed without a sound.

After that, Qin Yufeng no longer moved. His head looked up as his eyes shone with fighting spirit.

A moment later, the sky rumbled and clouds billowed. Slowly the clouds formed a human face.

Instantly, Ji Nie Tian's skin paled.

Who'sis that?
