"How did you acquire this Immortal Body?" Xianxian Ke asked, managing her emotions.
Upon hearing this, the three of us were naturally very surprised and found it hard to believe! However, Lime had no reason to lie, and he was not the type of person to do so. Therefore, when this astonishing secret came from his mouth, my first reaction was shock, followed by disbelief. But disbelief does not mean I didn't believe him; it was sheer astonishment!
"It all started in the year 2000..." Lime showed little change in expression, as if he were recounting not his own story but casually narrating an ordinary event.
Lime spoke at length, as if he wanted to spill out everything from this life, the previous life, and even the life before that without holding back. Despite the surprise and strangeness of it all, we did not interrupt him, and I felt my emotions shift with every word he spoke.
Please note that what follows is entirely true.
In 2000, Lime was twenty-four years old and still an archaeologist. However, due to an unexpected incident, he found himself transported to the Qin Dynasty! Yes, you read that right. Lime woke up not only to find himself in the Qin Dynasty but also fortuitously located in the imperial palace! When Qin Wang Ying Zheng saw his strange attire and extraordinary demeanor, and considering his bizarre method of entering the palace, he suspected him to be a spy from another country and intended to execute him.
But who was Lime? Well-versed in history, he deceived Qin Wang by claiming he was a reincarnated immortal whose powers had yet to awaken. He said he could only predict fate for now but could help find materials and even concoct an elixir for immortality.
No one can resist the temptation of eternal life, especially someone like Qin Shi Huang who was famously obsessed with it. It must be said that Lime skillfully grasped Qin Shi Huang's psychology and exploited it.
Qin Shi Huang was naturally skeptical; however, his desire for immortality was incredibly strong. Thus, for a long time afterward, Lime was forced to stay in the palace.
It wasn't until Lime accurately predicted several events that had yet to occur that Qin Shi Huang truly began to trust him and even rely on him because Qin Wang believed he was indeed a reincarnated immortal. But did the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree really exist? Lime didn't know; he only knew that at that moment he had to gain Qin Wang's trust. Only then could he survive and investigate why he had "traveled" back to the Qin Dynasty.
So, he promised Qin Shi Huang that he would definitely concoct the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree; even a dead person could be revived, but it would take a considerable amount of time.
Qin Shi Huang would naturally ask Lime why it would take such a long time.
Lime had already made plans in his heart, so he told Qin Wang that the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree was the Heaven-Defying Elixir. Mortals are ultimately mortals, and if one wishes to change their fate and seek immortality, they must require something from beyond the mortal realm. Only by transcending mortal things can one successfully refine a heavenly elixir.
However, the world we inhabit is still the mortal realm, so to find the materials for refining the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree, one must go to places that transcend the mortal world, namely the places closest to heaven and closest to hell.
Heaven is the Immortal Realm!
Hell is, then, the Underworld!
Only elixirs found in these two locations can produce the most effective heavenly elixirs, and only such elixirs can bring the dead back to life, restoring flesh to their bones!
Thus, Lime assured Qin Shi Huang not to worry about time; he had already calculated that Emperor Star was attempting to break free from the constraints of Reincarnation within six realms. Moreover, within a hundred years, heaven and earth would change color, and Emperor Star would surely succeed in transcending!
Qin Shi Huang was naturally very excited and happy, even venerating Lime as a celestial being!
Lime busily traveled around, raiding tombs to gather resources for Qin Shi Huang while searching for the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree. Wealth and status grew continuously, advancing rapidly! After all, being young and impetuous, Lime gradually became somewhat complacent.
Until one day, everything began to change with the arrival of certain individuals.
The events started when a couple approached Qin Shi Huang. As an archaeologist, Lime was well aware of certain matters regarding Qin Shi Huang; ancient texts recorded that he had met extraterrestrials, which was true! Because this couple was indeed extraterrestrials!
And then… there was no further development because…
Just as Lime was speaking at this point, that faint white light suddenly vanished, and the world returned to darkness once again, including Consciousness…
I was awakened by pain. As I opened my eyes, everything around me was still dark, and I felt heavy ice blocks pressing down on me. I didn't move; instead, I quietly contemplated. Although I wasn't sure if this was a dream or something else, the memories in my mind remained vivid. Recalling what Lime had left unsaid, I felt an ominous premonition. If this wasn't a dream, I needed to quickly find those three and check on them!
"Master Xian, Brother Feng, where are you?" Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard Wang Yi's shout. However, the voice seemed faint as it reached me, indicating that they were still quite far away.
Without further thought, I shouted back, "I'm here!" As I spoke, I began to push the ice blocks off of me, clearing them one by one. However, there were simply too many ice blocks above me, and since I was the one who had been "buried," I felt powerless at that moment.
Reluctantly, I had to enter The Dead. As soon as I did, Jiang Feng walked up with concern and asked, "What happened? We've been calling you for a long time with no response! Didn't you hear us?"
I shook my head and asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?" Why else would they be looking for me?
Jiang Feng nodded and then shook his head again. He looked at me and said, "For a moment, we suddenly felt a very strange wave of energy, so we tried to contact you to see if you needed help. The result..."
"The result is that we called for a long time and you didn't respond!" Guo Fan chimed in. After that, he added, "Is Sun Cheng okay?"
No response?
Could it have been at that moment? Was it really not a dream? I remembered being unable to check The Dead during that mysterious space; I couldn't even enter Consciousness. It seemed very likely they were referring to that period!
As for the spatial fluctuations, perhaps they were caused by the airflow and vibrations from the Big Bang or maybe from entering that strange and bizarre space. As for which it was, I couldn't tell at the moment. In any case, "I need your help!" I said to those remaining in The Dead.
"If you need anything, just say it. Those of us here are already like grasshoppers on the same rope with you," Jiang Feng smiled and then looked at He Cheng and the others, saying, "Right?"
"Yes, although we're still in a cooperative relationship, allow me to call you Boss Feng," He Cheng said sincerely while looking at me; there was no hint of joking in his expression.
I quickly waved my hand. "Brother He is too polite. Didn't we already say we're just collaborators? Of course, we're also friends, so there's no need to be so formal!"
He Cheng smiled, "At that time, seeing you all so young and vigorous, we older folks naturally felt a bit proud and unwilling to be outdone, especially by you younger ones, which is why we spoke that way. But now, you are the founder of The League of Shadows, and that cannot be wrong. Moreover, we have witnessed your intelligence and strength, so I believe that joining The League of Shadows and entering this unique Spirit Department makes us very fortunate! Calling you Boss Feng is indeed appropriate."
"Hehe, The League of Shadows was created by me, Xianxian, and Lime together. Of course, what we really need is people like you with strength; we merely took the lead."
"That's enough." He Cheng's mature and resolute face revealed a sincere smile, his eyes sparkling with an unusual brilliance. "Although our small exploration team has ventured to many places and considers ourselves to have seen many strange and bizarre things, hehe, in this short time spent with you, the events and sights we've encountered surpass the wonders of our previous adventures. We believe that by following you, we will witness even more incredible things!"
Just after He Cheng finished speaking, someone burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I never expected this! After living for so many years, we only realize when we're about to die that what we thought was magical and bizarre in this world is actually just trivial matters. Just in the Ice World we're currently in, any strange occurrence pales in comparison!"
"Boss Feng, from now on, I'll rely on you," Guo Fan said excitedly as he looked at me. "You have no idea! Ever since I entered this place, I feel like my body is becoming more solid. In the past, I always felt like I could lose my soul at any moment. But now, I think even if someone bombarded me with cannons, they might not be able to kill me! Hahaha, this place is truly amazing; I've decided this is my other home!"
"Indeed, this place is truly exceptional. Staying here not only strengthens our souls but also enhances our own power," Jiang Feng analyzed seriously.
Hearing this made me overjoyed as I laughed and said, "I'm glad you all like it; you're always welcome here!" Indeed, The Dead is the best refuge for wandering souls; otherwise, that Ghost Woman wouldn't have taken such a liking to it and refused to leave. Thinking of this, I realized I hadn't seen that little one for quite some time. With so many people around here, it hadn't come out to join the fun; it must be hiding on Hell's Gate napping!
"By the way, you just mentioned needing our help. Is there something major going on?" Liu Quan asked timely.
"Yes." I nodded and briefly explained the situation of being trapped under the ice.
"This is no problem; it's just ice! Watch how we clear it away. It's ridiculous; who dares to mess with our Boss Feng? They must be tired of living!"
