My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Chapter 320: River Lethe Mansion, the Third Generation Emissary!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

River Lethe was mysterious and strange.

Its information had always been a secret throughout the years. Very few were willing to talk about it, and even fewer were willing to step into it…

Whoosh!

Rowing an old boat, Feng Changqing sailed unhurriedly in River Lethe. At the same time, he paid close attention to the movements around him.

Although he was the emissary of River Lethe and could freely enter and exit River Lethe, he still encountered many dangers. River Lethe was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Time passed slowly.

Buzz!

After God knows how long, when Feng Changqing arrived at the center of River Lethe, a strange fog suddenly appeared on the black river surface.

At the same time, some strange and indescribable voice seemed to echo in Feng Changqing’s ears, guiding him to an unknown place.

He had a feeling that if he followed that voice, he would be able to obtain an unprecedented fortune. And so, he recalled his previous experience and carefully searched for the source of the sound, getting closer and closer.

After a long time, when the strange fog on River Lethe had dissipated, Feng Changqing found himself in an unfamiliar area.

On the dark river, an ancient and mysterious archway appeared. At a glance, it looked like a door.

Whoosh!

Under the push of some kind of force, the small boat under Feng Changqing’s feet drifted with the current and slowly entered the archway.

Boom!

The moment he entered the archway, something that shocked Feng Changqing happened.

The black river surface ahead suddenly collapsed. Then, under the pull of some kind of mighty force, a passage was opened up and the small boat under his feet drifted in.

Whoosh!

After passing through the cold darkness, an ancient and mysterious mansion was reflected in Feng Changqing’s eyes.

In front of the mansion stood a mottled stone tablet with a few scarlet words on it.

“Lethe Underwater Mansion?”

Looking at those words, Feng Changqing muttered softly.

“What is this place? 1 didn’t expect that there would be such a mysterious place in this cold and desolate River Lethe. It looks like this place is used to worship God… Could it be the underwater mansion of River Lethe’s River God?”

Suddenly, Feng Changqing seemed to have thought of something, and his heart trembled.

The River God of River Lethe was a God that had been passed down in the Tianfeng tribe for a long time. Although they did not worship Him, He had always been highly respected.

The River God possessed a lofty status in the Tianfeng tribe. Since ancient times, He had been revered by people.

Feng Changqing had heard of the River God of River Lethe, but he had never really taken His existence to heart.

However, seeing this mysterious Lethe Underwater Mansion now somewhat subverted his understanding.

Whoosh!

Just as he was sizing up the Lethe Underwater Mansion, the small boat under his feet entered the mansion under the push of the river water.

After he entered the Lethe Underwater Mansion, Feng Changqing was surprised to find that this was indeed a temple dedicated to the River God.

At the end of the hall was an altar. The statue that was worshipped on the altar was shockingly 80% similar to the River God of the Tianfeng tribe, but even more ancient and majestic.

Other than that, after Feng Changqing’s careful examination, he found a mysterious corpse in a corner of the altar.

The other party stood with a sword in his hand, his face exuding a mighty aura. He seemed to be the guardian of the Lethe Underwater Mansion.

“Ha! Could this corpse have been a Demigod when he was alive?”

Feeling the powerful aura emitted from the corpse and the faint divine light contained in its bones, Feng Changqing could not help but be shocked. But immediately after, he revealed a look of ecstasy.

A Demigod!

To him, Demigods were extremely powerful existences. After all, it was already very difficult to find a Divine Wheel realm corpse.

But now, there was a corpse that seemed to have been a Demigod. If he could trade it with Emissary Dongfang, he would surely be able to obtain great power.

Thinking of this, Feng Changqing carefully sized up the Lethe Underwater Mansion before rowing the small boat under his feet toward the corpse.

After arriving in front of the corpse and confirming that there was no danger, he carefully extended his hand.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Whoosh!

Just as Feng Changqing’s hands touched the corpse, the corpse’s originally closed eyes flew open.

“All!”

This sudden change scared Feng Changqing out of his wits. He fell heavily to the ground.

“Kid, are you after my corpse?”

An eerie voice sounded from behind him, scaring Feng Changqing so much that all the hair on his body stood on end.

He turned his body with difficulty only to see an illusory figure floating in midair, staring straight at him…

“You… Who are you?”

Feng Changqing gulped, his heart filled with fear. He had no idea what kind of strange existence he had encountered.

In the face of Feng Changqing’s fear and terror, the illusory figure smiled faintly and then approached him, frightening him so much that he retreated immediately.

“Kid, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”

To appease Feng Changqing, the phantom revealed a kind smile, but this didn’t make the former lower his guard.

Seeing this, the phantom did not take it to heart and simply landed next to the corpse.

“Kid, this is the legendary Lethe Underwater Mansion. Being able to come here is both your fortune and misfortune. Let me introduce myself. 1 am Feng Jitian, the third-generation emissary of River Lethe from the Tianfeng tribe.”

Feng Jitian? The third-generation emissary of River Lethe?

Hearing this, Feng Changqing could not help but widen his eyes.

“Since you are the third-generation emissary of River Lethe, then you must have already lived for a very long time, right?” He asked carefully.

In response, Feng Jitian nodded.

“I’ve been here for more than thirty thousand years. Over the years, the Tianfeng tribe has produced many emissaries of River Lethe, but only a handful of them have been able to come to the Lethe Underwater Mansion. Moreover, none of them were recognized by the Lethe Altar and become the true emissary of River Lethe. If you hadn’t come, my obsession would’ve vanished in three days at most, disappearing from this world. It seems that all of this is predestined by the heavens. You are to inherit my legacy and become the next emissary of River Lethe…” Feng Jitian sighed.

Then, his eyes revealed a relaxed smile.

The true emissary of River Lethe?

Hearing Feng Jitian’s words, Feng Changqing was very confused. He had never known that the emissaries of River Lethe were differentiated into true or fake.

“What is a true Emissary of River Lethe?”

After a moment of silence, Feng Changqing asked curiously.

Hearing this, Feng Jitian revealed a mysterious smile, which seemed to also be a sigh that carried a hint of lamentation.

“The so-called true emissary of River Lethe is the person who controls the Lethe Altar and has the authority to patrol the entire River Lethe. The emissary of River Lethe from the Tianfeng tribe is just a facade. Being the true emissary of River Lethe can change your fate, but at the same time, it can also limit you. It can make you stronger, but it can also lead you to destruction. Its existence might not be tolerated in this world…” Feng Jitian said self-mockingly.

Under Feng Changqing’s surprised gaze, he raised his hand and pointed. With that, a strange and mysterious ancient altar appeared..
