In the Spirit Race, the Sacred Spirits were the rulers of everything. Their status was second only to the Longevity Tree, but there was one place that was extremely special. That was the Sacred Mountain and its pallbearers.
In order to become a pallbearer, one had to have the purest bloodline and a mind free of distracting thoughts.
Ye Tianze and Zhu Que were not free of distracting thoughts. As they lined up for the trial, their minds were filled with thoughts of how to escape.
However, they discovered that the reason why these people's eyes were burning red was because they were obsessed with being pallbearers.
After the Spirit Race died, only a small number of them were allowed to enter the Sacred Mountain. These people had all made outstanding contributions to the Spirit Race or were peerless experts.
Most Spirit Race members were born from willow trees. When they died, they would be buried under willow trees. Only a small number of them would be able to enjoy true death.
Yes, for the Spirit Race, death was a kind of enjoyment. It was a process of life reaching the pinnacle. For example, the Six Great Races all dreamed of eternal life.
This was the Spirit Race's reverence for death!
The status of pallbearers was second only to the Longevity Tree. It was almost on par with the Sacred Spirits. This was because pallbearers could be buried on the Sacred Mountain after they died.
Such a precious spot naturally attracted countless Spirit Race members. If they couldn't become peerless experts, the only way to be buried on the Sacred Mountain was to become a pallbearer.
As they lined up, Ye Tianze and Zhu Que were the two outliers. Their appearance and stature were completely out of the ordinary among the Spirit Race. They were equivalent to human dwarves.
The other Spirit Race members looked at them strangely, as if to say, "These two are so crude, but they want to become pallbearers?"
Unfortunately, it was forbidden to make a ruckus or fight at the foot of the Sacred Mountain. Otherwise, they would definitely be asked to leave. Moreover, any Spirit Race member had the qualifications to become a pallbearer. As such, they couldn't do anything to Ye Tianze and Zhu Que.
Ye Tianze, on the other hand, was the kind of person who didn't like the look of others and didn't want others to show off in front of him.
Ye Tianze was particularly annoyed by the arrogance of the Astrals. They always thought that they were superior to others.
"You triangular eyes, what are you looking at? Did I allow you to look?"
"What are you staring at, you big nostrils? Do you want to eat me?"
"You pointy ears … What are you looking at? Do I look like this? Have I eaten your spirit fruits and drank your spirit liquid?"
As a result, Ye Tianze's dissatisfied voice rang out from the silent crowd. The Spirit Race people all stared at him in shock. They obviously hadn't expected that this eccentric would dare to make a ruckus at the foot of the Sacred Mountain.
Zhu Que, who was standing at the side, was clutching her stomach. She was laughing so hard that she was about to cry. Of course, she knew what Ye Tianze was trying to do.
Not too far away, Supreme Myriad Spirit's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Before coming here, he had warned them not to cause any trouble.
Now that they had caused such a big commotion, he was naturally worried. However, he couldn't do anything to Ye Tianze. He couldn't let these two guys burn themselves in front of so many Spirit Race people, could he?
"That's right, we didn't eat your spirit fruits or drink your spirit liquid. What right do you have to look down on us? All life is equal at the foot of the Sacred Mountain. We look like this, but aren't we still here to compete with you for the right to be pallbearers?" Zhu Que also chimed in.
Ye Tianze was sure that if it weren't for the rules, these Spirit Race experts would have slapped them to death already.
However, the Spirit Race's patience was not as strong as their desire to be buried at the Sacred Mountain. Therefore, before the official pallbearers could teach them a lesson, some Spirit Race people couldn't sit still anymore.
This was a pair of exceptionally good-looking men and women. Both of them were very young, not even a hundred years old.
And in the Spirit Race, a hundred years old was considered an adult.
The Spirit Race woman immediately stood up and rebuked, "Two lowly bloodline scum, how dare you behave so atrociously at the foot of the Sacred Mountain. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your family's elders, let you …"
Before she could finish, Ye Tianze walked over and tore open his clothes, baring his chest and back. "Come, hit me, hit me."
The Spirit Race woman was so angry that she reached for the sword at her waist, but the Spirit Race man stopped her and whispered, "Junior Sister, don't be rash. We are going to be pallbearers. We will be buried at the Sacred Mountain together. Don't be bewitched by these two scum. They are destined to be buried under the Tree of Life and become nutrients."
Hearing this, the woman resentfully withdrew her hand. In the distance, Supreme Myriad Spirit breathed a sigh of relief, but he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wanted nothing more than to activate their bloodlines and burn them to ashes.
"Bastard couple!" Zhu Que suddenly said.
The two Spirit Race men immediately turned and glared at Zhu Que. The man said, "Little bastard, what did you say?"
"Bastard couple!" Zhu Que continued.
"Hmph!"
The man immediately drew his sword and stabbed at the Vermilion Bird. However, before his sword could land, it was blocked by the woman.
"Senior Brother, our goal is to become pallbearers. Quickly put your sword away." The woman calmed down.
"But …" The man was furious, but he still put his sword away.
"A pair of adulterous men and women. You want to become Coffin Bearers? Dream on! Real Coffin Bearers don't have any sexual desires. You two must have done many dirty things!" Vermilion Bird sneered.
Even Ye Tianze, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. However, he secretly gave her a thumbs up. Indeed, when it came to insulting others, a woman's mouth was much sharper. How heart-wrenching.
This time, both the man and the woman were furious. The blue in their eyes completely disappeared, replaced by raging fury.
They almost immediately drew their swords and stabbed at Ye Tianze and Zhu Que.
Clang clang!
Sparks flew everywhere. Two black-robed men stood in front of the man and the woman. They raised their hands and snatched the swords from their hands. With a casual squeeze, they turned the swords to dust.
That heavy power made Ye Tianze and the Vermillion Bird's hair stand on end. This was definitely a master who was almost on par with the Vermillion Bird at her peak.
"Lord Guards." The Spirit Race man and woman immediately knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
Only now did they realize that they had been tricked by Ye Tianze and Zhu Que. But they didn't dare to explain.
"Don't you know that fighting is forbidden at the foot of the Sacred Mountain?" One of the pallbearers asked.
"We were ridiculed by these two bastards. We were so angry that we used our weapons. Lord Guards, please forgive us this once." The man was almost begging.
The instigators, Zhu Que and Ye Tianze, felt a little sad. They couldn't understand the Spirit Race's fanatical worship.
"We are from … the Sacred Spirit City. We were recommended by the High Priest. Lord Guards, please forgive us." The woman quickly explained her background.
"Don't do it again!" After the pallbearers finished speaking, they disappeared without a trace.
The two of them rose to their feet. Cold sweat had long since soaked their clothes. However, Ye Tianze and the Vermilion Bird knew that the reason they were so terrified was not because they were afraid of death.
