"After all these years, I'm finally out of this damned coffin." The skeleton suddenly sat up, its mouth opening and closing, making the exact same sound as before.
"So it was you who was behind this." The Demon Emperor was both shocked and furious.
The skeleton didn't answer; instead, it opened its arms as if breathing, revealing an expression of enjoyment—who knows how one could read an expression on a skeleton.
"Finally, I can breathe the air of freedom; it smells so sweet."
Wu Liang couldn't help but mutter, "In your current state, can you even smell anything?"
The skeleton sighed, "I really can't smell it anymore, but I can imagine it."
Everyone: "..."
"Why are you in such a ghastly state?" The Demon Emperor stared coldly at it. The other party's aura was far too weak. Not to mention him, even the weakest Wu Liang could easily kill it.
"What else could it be? It has been lying here for countless years, so naturally its flesh and blood have all turned to dust." The skeleton seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with itself.

"On the Great Wilderness Cloud-Rain Mountain, there is a red stone with a goldenrain tree growing on it. It bears an elixir of immortality, which can make a person immortal if eaten."
"Is this what you call immortality? You look like a ghost now!" the Demon Emperor roared.
"At the time, I only hastily ate half an unripe fruit, and my cultivation level was not high enough to exert the true effect of the elixir of immortality," the skeleton said, clutching its throat. "Even so, it allowed me to live through a long period of time and live until now."
"Where is the Great Wilderness Cloud-Rain Mountain you mentioned?" The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with fervor.
