759: Flaming Coffin, the work of the Holy Master

Holy Master Chunyang and the Golden Crow Ancient Holy Son stepped onto the flaming Divine Bridge and arrived at the plaza.

"Greetings, Holy Master Chunyang!"

Everyone present bowed in salute.

The Holy Masters of the various Holy Lands were all peerless experts, possessing breathtaking talent and monstrous combat power; no one dared to underestimate them in the slightest.

"Hmm!"

Holy Master Chunyang nodded calmly at the crowd.

He placed the flaming coffin on the ground. "I have invited everyone here today solely to open this coffin."

"..."

Everyone's gaze fell upon the flaming coffin. Since even the Pure Yang Holy Land found it difficult to open, it was certainly no simple matter.

Xie Weilou stared at the flaming coffin, sensing several terrifying auras of Restrictions.

These Restriction auras definitely surpassed the ninth grade. Several Restrictions combined to form a Grand Array, and it even carried a wisp of spatial Dao Principles.

The person who set up this Restriction Grand Array had unfathomable methods and had also mastered spatial Dao Principles.

Holy Master Chunyang said, "Whoever among you can open this coffin will receive an ancient Pill Furnace, a root of the sun god tree, and a drop of sun god liquid!"

"Hiss! A root of the sun god tree? A drop of sun god liquid?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

These two items were both peerless divine objects with Heaven-Defying effects. Obtaining them would surely yield supreme benefits.

Holy Master Chunyang looked at the crowd. "If anyone is interested, you may come up and try."

"How about letting this old man try first?"

An old man in gray robes with white hair clasped his hands and bowed to Holy Master Chunyang.

"This Senior is a Great Master of the Formation path from the Eastern Wasteland, Zhang Tiancheng."

"The path of Formations is mysterious and unpredictable. Above the ninth grade are the four levels: Profound, Earth, Heaven, and Dao. Breakthroughs for a Formation Master are extremely difficult. I hear Senior Zhang has already stepped into the Heaven-Grade and is a Heaven Master."

"There seem to be Formations and Restrictions on this coffin. The Pure Yang Holy Land has invited many formidable Formation Masters and Restriction Masters this time, hoping they can crack those Formations and Restrictions."

The crowd looked at the old man, their eyes revealing a trace of awe.

The path of Formations is different from the path of Martial Arts. In Martial Arts, one can use resources to continuously accumulate, rise, and break through.

A Formation Master's Breakthrough can only rely on comprehension, so the difficulty of breaking through is immense.

Generally speaking, those who can reach the ninth grade are already quite exceptional existences.

Those who can enter the Profound Realm and become Profound Masters have even more extraordinary status and are existences that every major power strives to recruit.

Earth Masters are a level higher, with esteemed status. Within major powers, the status of an Earth Master is definitely not inferior to those core Elders.

As for Heaven Masters, they are extremely rare; they can control the trends of Heaven and Earth and turn decay into magic.

Looking across the entire Pure Yang Holy Land, one cannot find a single Heaven Master.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please!"

Holy Master Chunyang nodded at Zhang Tiancheng.

Zhang Tiancheng moved and appeared in front of the flaming coffin.

He reached out and touched the coffin lid, his gaze hardening as he hurriedly asked, "Holy Master, have you tried using Pure Yang True Fire to burn away these Restrictions?"

Pure Yang True Fire is considered a powerful divine fire; burning away ordinary Restrictions would certainly pose no problem at all.

Holy Master Chunyang shook his head. "Tried it, it's useless!"

Pure Yang True Fire is unable to burn away these Formations and Restrictions.

The Formations and Restrictions on the coffin carry spatial power, and Pure Yang True Fire can do nothing to them at all.

The sun god tree does have peerless Divine Might, but unfortunately, he dare not use the sun god tree to break the Formations or Restrictions.

That is an supreme emperor artifact, and with his cultivation, it is difficult to completely control it.

It is no problem for him to use the sun god tree to kill enemies; he only needs to activate it, and it can instantly annihilate a large area like withered weeds.

But to have him use the sun god tree to crack Formations and Restrictions, that is something he truly cannot do.

He cannot perfectly control the power of the sun god tree; if he is not careful, he reckons this coffin would be reduced to ashes.

Zhang Tiancheng said gravely, "The person who set up these Formations and Restrictions has definitely surpassed a Dao Master... Forgive this old man for being powerless. Even if my Master came, I suspect he would have no way either."

His Legacy came from a Dao Master, and he has seen the Formations and Restrictions of a Dao Master, but none were as terrifying as those on this coffin.

"Surpassed a Dao Master? Could it be..."

Holy Master Chunyang's pupils also constricted.

To surpass a Dao Master, that would be a Saint Master!

In these last one hundred thousand years, the Eastern Wasteland has not yet given birth to a single Saint Master, so when people mention the levels above the ninth grade of the Formation path, they only refer to the four realms: Profound, Earth, Heaven, and Dao.

Zhang Tiancheng's Master stepped into the ranks of Dao Masters three thousand years ago and had the most promise of becoming a Saint Master.

But three thousand years have passed, and the other party is still stuck in the ranks of Dao Masters, unable to make the slightest Breakthrough.

Zhang Tiancheng said gravely, "This is definitely the work of a Saint Master. To break the Formations and Restrictions on it, there are only four methods. The first is for a Saint Master to act; the second is to break it with peerless power, which requires perfect control of an supreme emperor artifact, otherwise, if one is not careful, this coffin will be reduced to ashes."

"The third is to find the Vermilion Bird's companion fire, the Nanming Li Fire. The Nanming Li Fire can burn everything, and can even burn away spatial power; I imagine it could break the Formations and Restrictions on it."

"The fourth is to go find someone from the Lin Clan. The Imperial Lin Clan, with two Emperors in one family, has mastered spatial Divine Abilities. If they are willing to take action, there would be some hope."

Holy Master Chunyang frowned slightly. "The first two are basically impossible. As for the third, we have searched for the Nanming Li Fire in the Vermilion Bird Tomb but did not find it..."

Previously, when the Nanming Li Fire appeared, it was rumored that the Longevity Saintess and others went to pursue it, and the Nanming Li Fire entered the Vermilion Bird Tomb.

In the end, only the Longevity Saintess remained alive; the other three were all wiped out.

This could not help but make people suspect whether the Nanming Li Fire had fallen into the hands of the Longevity Saintess.

"..."

The Longevity Saintess glanced slightly at Xie Weilou.

She could be certain that the Nanming Li Fire had been taken away by Xie Weilou.

Previously, when at the Vermilion Bird Sea, this guy, in order to deal with Di Xiao, used a terrifying three-colored other shore flower flame, which contained a wisp of the Nanming Li Fire's aura.

Zhang Tiancheng said, "If the Nanming Li Fire cannot be found, then we can only go and invite people from the Lin Clan."

Holy Master Chunyang pondered. "In the short term, I am afraid we cannot invite anyone from the Lin Clan."

The Imperial Lin Clan resides in Qingzhou. That mysterious Young Clan Leader entered the Legacy grounds some time ago.

Now, the entire Lin Clan has closed its Secret Realm, not wanting anyone to disturb them, seemingly worried that outsiders might affect that Young Clan Leader.

"Then there is no way; we can only wait."

Zhang Tiancheng sighed.

He looked at the others around him again. "Of course, if anyone present has the ability, you may also come up and try."

"..."

Everyone smiled bitterly; even a Heaven Master could not do it, so naturally, they had no way either.

"How about letting me try?"

Just at this moment, a calm voice rang out.

"Hmm?"

Everyone looked over; the person who spoke was none other than Xie Weilou.
