Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 718: Ancient King's Coffin



In their hiding place, Xiao Kong'qi was furious when he learned of Wang Zhi's presence in that realm, and he was eager to come out and attack him. However, Xiao Diqiu repeatedly warned her not to move, particularly because their enemies were outnumbering them, making it impossible for the two of them to fight them, and the situation would become even more chaotic if they were being discovered by them.

With both hands clenched, Xiao Kong'qi released a heavy sigh. "That traitor! I should have killed him when he challenged me back then! I spared him and gave him a chance to become stronger, but he actually joined the dark race and betrayed us."

"Everything happened a long time ago, and we can no longer change the facts." Xiao Diqiu spoke with a slight shake of her head. "Honestly, I still find it hard to believe that Lu Shen also decided to join them, especially since Feng Xian'er saved her when her family was massacred by that evil guy, and she brought her to the Five Divine Heavens to teach her cultivation." "The hearts of all living creatures are unpredictable, and greed often blinds us." Sheng Hongfei and the others nodded in agreement with Bai Lanhua. "In the past, Lu Shen was indeed a noble woman, especially before Long Wang appointed her as one of the immortals. She made significant contributions to our holy temple, saving many lives, but regrettably, power and greed corrupted her heart and blinded her eyes. She even joined forces with the other immortals to slaughter our brothers and sisters, and none of us suspected her before it was too late."

Sheng Hongfei's expression turned gloomy because Bai Lanhua mentioned their past brother and sister, but he then patted her shoulder. "Forget it; you don't need to remember what happened back then, and I'm sure all of them have reincarnated now. One day in the future, we will meet them again, and we will take revenge on that damn woman together."

"Yeah." Bai Lanhua then spoke to the two spirit women. "I want you two to bring us into the Tianyi Realm, and we will enter seclusion there, especially since the situation in this realm is no longer safe."

Xiao Diqiu immediately brought them into the Tinyi Realm, except for Chang Tian, especially since Xiao Shijian had indeed ordered her like that.

Chang Tian himself did not think much of it, especially since he was not in their inner circle, even though his ancestor was one of Long Wang's loyal followers. "What are you going to do now, Senior? Aren't you going back with them?"

"Nothing." Xiao Kong'qi answered with a shake of her head. "I will stay here to monitor the movements of those bastards, as instructed by my eldest sister."

.

Lu Shen and Wang Zhi had arrived at Xifeng City, and they immediately asked the townspeople about Sheng Hongfei, who told them that he should be at the small temple. Unfortunately, they were too late because he had already left in a hurry, and none of them knew where he had gone, but they also told the two that he had a female disciple named Xia Quxian, including her sudden appearance.

Lu Shen and Wang Zhi immediately checked the entire western area of the Beidao Island in search of Sheng Hongfei and Xia Quxian, but their senses failed to find either of them, especially since Xiao Kong'qi and Xiao Diqiu were no less powerful than them.

"Who do you think the little girl is? Those people said she came from the lower realm, but it is impossible for her to go to this realm with her cultivation still in the ten mortal realms." Wang Zhi then looked towards the temple. "Moreover, her appearance coincided with the appearance of those foreigners, so I think she has some sort of connection with them."

In response, Lu Shen shook her head at Wang Zhi. "That little girl cultivation does not allow her to cross realms, but we all know that people from the middle realms can easily go to the lower realms. Although her appearance coincided with that of the foreigners, she may not necessarily have any connection with them. Compared to her, I am more interested in Sheng Hongfei's identity, especially since we know that all of Sheng Xifeng's descendants are in the upper realms, and he forbade them from returning to this realm. Moreover, not all of his descendants managed to learn his medical skills, and only a few of them did."

"Do you think that Sheng Hongfei is Sheng Xifeng's reincarnation?" Lu Shen nodded at Wang Zhi, making him fall into deep thought for a long time. "Back then, we killed almost of all of Sheng Dian's disciples before we attacked Long Wang, and only a few of them managed to survive because they were in the golden palace at that time. However, we eventually managed to kill them, including him. A thousand years have passed since then, so he should have indeed been reincarnated, and he might indeed be his reincarnation, especially with his medical abilities and cultivation."

"That's right." Lu Shen immediately looked towards the Ancient King Island. "Since we can't find Sheng Hongfei and that little girl, it would be better if we catch up with Zu Zhoushi and report Sheng Hongfei's matter to Tian Shiwang."

"All right."

.

Meanwhile, Shui Xian and Xian Feng had finished checking the residences of Kong Que, Ru Feng, and Xiong Yang. Unfortunately, they could no longer find the darkness in their residences, and they were increasingly convinced of Xiao Hei's return, especially since she was the only person in the universe who could absorb it.

After that, the two went to look for Han Yuanji in his residence, as he was the leader of Donghai City. However, his residence was completely empty; not even his subordinates were

there.

"It seems that Fei Long was right that that idiot has sided with those foreigners."

Xian Feng nodded in agreement before looking towards the Ancient King Island. "We don't need to care about a weakling like him, and we'd better catch up with Zu Zhoushi now, especially since Lu Shen and Wang Zhi have finished inspecting Xifeng City." "All right, let's go there."

In a few seconds, they had arrived behind Zu Zhoushi, who was watching the fierce battle below them with a condescending smile. Upon hearing the results of their investigation in the two cities, he immediately reported it to Tian Shiwang. He then guided them to land in front of the largest tomb on the island before they entered it.

Inside, they could see the dense darkness filling the entire inner area of the tomb, and they were relieved to see that Xiao Hei had not absorbed the darkness. Additionally, they could see countless workers continuing to dig there, especially since the Qi veins in the realm were buried deep underground, so they had to dig it out before it could spread the darkness throughout the area in that realm.

Zu Zhoushi then approached the only coffin inside the tomb, which contained the corpse of the ancient king of the Azure Mystic Realm. He then tried to open the coffin, but it wouldn't budge, even though he had used quite a lot of his strength.

Lu Shen, Wang Zhi, Shui Xian, and Xian Feng immediately helped Zu Zhoushi, but their efforts were still in vain, and the coffin lid remained motionless.

"What if we destroy it?"

"You are such an idiot!" Zu Zhoushi cursed at Shui Xian. "In the past, Tian Shiwang and I tried to destroy this coffin, but we suffered injuries due to the backlash of the formation array that

covers it."

"Formation array?" Shui Xian bent forward and tried to touch the formation array that Zu Zhoushi meant. "Why can't I see or touch anything?"

After hearing that, Zu Zhoushi and the other three helplessly patted their foreheads, especially since Shui Xian was too much of an idiot in their eyes. The four of them immediately retreated backwards, but Lu Shen swiftly picked up a stone and threw it at then/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

coffin.

A transparent barrier suddenly materialized around the coffin, unleashing a powerful shock wave that sent Shui Xian flying backwards.

However, Shu Xian immediately stabilized herself and asked her friend with a shout. "Shit! Why did you do that, Lu Shen? I would have suffered serious injuries if the counterattack had

been stronger."

"Because you're an idiot!" Lu Shen's nonchalant answer caused Shui Xian to fold her forehad. "The corpse inside the coffin belongs to the ancient king of this realm, and he is more than just a mortal. According to history, he lived far in the past, and he has a lot of knowledge, such as medical, formation array, and so on. Still, according to history, his strength when he was alive was not inferior to Long Wang, and no one could invade this realm when he was still

alive."

"Unfortunately, his strength is inversely proportional to his mortal body, and his strength is slowly eroding his body, leading to his death." Shui Xian immediately turned to Xian Feng in surprise. "You don't have to be confused by that; he is truly a mortal and cannot cultivate, and his strength is his innate blessing. In fact, he is the only mortal who can live for more than a thousand years, and no other mortal can live that long after him. He's been dead for a long time, but I heard that his strength still lingers in his corpse, even though it's not a hundred

percent."

"So, you and Tian Shiwang are trying to open this coffin to get the remains of his power?"

"Yeah." Zu Zhoushi answered Shui Xian with a nod. "No one knows the name of this ancient king, but rumors say that we will become truly powerful if we manage to absorb his remaining strength, even if it's only one percent, so countless people have tried to get it. Even Long Wang was tempted to obtain it, but he failed to open the coffin, leaving all the stories about him shrouded in mystery. Anyway, forget about this coffin, because we will never be able to open it, and that guy is getting impatient. That's why it would be better if we helped these slaves speed up the excavation so the darkness could envelop this realm as soon as

possible."

Lu Shen and the others nodded in agreement with Zu Zhoushi, and they began to use their respective abilities to speed up the excavation.
