53: Holy Ancestor, Bingbing?
The Jiaolong's head spanned the sky, its Dragon eyes as vast as stars, and its cold, tyrannical aura was suffocating.
This scene was like a myth; everyone present opened their eyes wide in horror, wanting to see but unable to bear the terrifying mental impact.
Only a few Prodigies with deep Foundations and solid spirits could look closely and see that the female corpse in the purple dress, next to the Dragon horns on the Jiaolong's head, was actually lying in a transparent crystal coffin. The crystal coffin twinkled with countless points of light, each point shimmering like a star, and starlight continuously flowed into various parts of the female corpse's body.
This scene was too terrifying.
In the Holy Sky Pool, thousands of Jiaolong bowed in submission, welcoming their King. Just one Jiaolong head was as large as a star, its terror unfathomable, yet it carried a female corpse on its head, as if she was merely its mount or pet in her lifetime.
“The starry sky crystal coffin, even after death, she still uses the Dragon King as her mount to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Could it be that this female corpse is...” A Prodigy stammered, suddenly unable to bear the terrifying mental pressure, and directly knelt down, his face pale.
At this moment, the identity of the purple-robed female corpse was almost revealed.
“Unworthy descendant Duanmu Wan, greets Shengzu and Lord Dragon King.” Duanmu Wan knelt, her eyes filled with boundless reverence and longing.
Duanmu Saint Ancestor, the founder of the Duanmu Family. Without Shengzu, there would be no Duanmu Family today, and perhaps the Saint Heaven Sect would no longer exist.
Bang, bang, bang...
People in the square knelt down one after another, whether young Prodigies or old powerhouses, all of them knelt, their eyes filled with awe and reverence.
“That seems to be the legendary starry sky crystal coffin, the treasure of the Star Clan, a super clan in the Myriad Worlds. Could the legend be true, that Shengzu, in her later years, tried to live another life, traveling through the Myriad Worlds to find various mysteries of longevity? The Star Clan's treasure seems to have disappeared at that time.” An old Heavenly God, who seemed to know some rumors, spoke with a trembling voice.
Everyone present felt a buzzing in their minds, because the Star Clan is a super powerful clan in the current Myriad Worlds, ranking among the top hundred in the Myriad Worlds.
“According to legend, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Star Clan was far stronger than it is today, simultaneously possessing three or four Emperor Venerables, and could rank among the top ten among all clans. But it seems to have suffered a great catastrophe, countless powerhouses fell, and the clan's treasure, the starry sky crystal coffin, also disappeared. Since then, it has been in continuous decline, and now it is almost about to fall out of the top hundred among all clans. Could it be Shengzu who...” An old man muttered to himself, his mouth suddenly twitching slightly.
Many young male and female Disciples listened as if to a myth, their eyes dazzled and filled with endless longing.
To single-handedly bring down a top ten clan in the Myriad Worlds, and snatch away its clan-protecting treasure, just how powerful was Duanmu Saint Ancestor at her Peak?
“After Shengzu's passing, her body has been in the depths of the Holy Sky Pool, personally guarded by Lord Dragon King. Her sudden appearance now must signify an earth-shattering change. Could it be that Shengzu has truly lived a second life?” An old Heavenly God muttered to himself, his eyes filled with horror.
Rumble, rumble...
Suddenly, the Holy Sky Pool vibrated violently. The massive Jiaolong head slowly lowered itself, its cold, tyrannical eyes gradually submerging into the bottom of the pool. The intense, tyrannical mental impact began to dissipate, until the crystal coffin on the Jiaolong's head was parallel to the height of the square, then it stopped moving.
Everyone in the square was bewildered, not understanding what the Dragon King was doing. But suddenly, their pupils widened, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled violently.
“Sheng... Shengzu... Shengzu, she... sat... sat, sat up...” A female Prodigy stammered, pointing forward. Having already endured the Dragon King's mental impact, her endurance had reached its limit. Seeing this scene now, she fainted directly from fright.
Everyone in the square was terrified. Had Shengzu truly lived a Heaven-Defying second life, or had her body undergone a corpse transformation? If it was the latter, everyone in the square would die, with no chance of survival.
“Shengzu, Shengzu...” Duanmu Wan was stunned, her body stiff. She stared blankly as the body in the starry sky crystal coffin sat upright, stood up, climbed out of the crystal coffin, walked into the square, then scanned around, and suddenly walked towards her.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning exploded in Duanmu Wan's mind.
Could it be that she had gained the approval of Shengzu, which was why the Dragon King carried Shengzu's crystal coffin here? Duanmu Wan's guess was not without basis, after all, currently, only she possessed the pure direct Bloodline of the Duanmu Family.
Duanmu Wan was incredibly excited, her whole body trembling.
But at this moment, Shengzu passed by her without any pause, her steps wobbly, as if she still lacked full control over her body. Yet she continued forward, until she stopped in front of Chu Tian.
“Brother Chu Tian... play with me... I'm so lonely.” Duanmu Saint Ancestor took Chu Tian's hand, seemingly pouting, her voice carrying a sense of childish innocence, like a three or four-year-old girl.
Everyone in the square widened their eyes and opened their mouths. This time, they were completely shocked. Even the old Heavenly Gods were trembling, feeling dizzy and ringing in their ears as if they had misheard. They raised their hands and slapped themselves a few times to try and clear their heads, then spoke to the person next to them, testing if there was something wrong with their hearing.
Then they quickly confirmed that their mental state was good and their hearing was excellent, but this discovery made them feel even more like they were crazy, or had fallen into some kind of illusion.
The Dragon King carried Shengzu's crystal coffin here, then Shengzu climbed out of the crystal coffin and ran to Little Holy Son, asking Little Holy Son to play with her?
This joke was a bit too much.
“Congratulations to the host, for plundering the great Opportunity of Ye Fan, the Son of Luck, and obtaining 20,000 destiny points.” The System's gentle and pleasant voice sounded in Chu Tian's ear.
“Bingbing, be good, okay? Brother still has things to do.” Chu Tian rarely smiled slightly, raising his hand to ruffle Duanmu Saint Ancestor's hair, which was smooth and soft, completely unlike someone who had passed away hundreds of thousands of years ago, incredibly well-preserved.
Through their previous communication, Chu Tian had confirmed that Duanmu Saint Ancestor's current mind was only comparable to that of a three-year-old girl, the age when girls are most clingy and well-behaved.
The name Bingbing was given by Chu Tian during their previous conversation, as Duanmu Saint Ancestor said she didn't have a name yet, and the little snake refused to name her, being as silent as wood.
The 'little snake' that Bingbing referred to was naturally the Dragon King, who was silently guarding outside the square at this moment.
Duanmu Saint Ancestor wore a fringed purple skirt, her little face chubby, bearing some resemblance to Duanmu Wan, and she was even five centimeters shorter than Duanmu Wan, not even as tall as he was at eight years old.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Tian would have found it hard to imagine that this cute and well-behaved little girl was actually the ancestral figure who revitalized the Saint Heaven Sect, saving the entire Sect during its most difficult period, and performing many shocking feats in the Myriad Worlds, such as crippling the Star Clan, which was once ranked among the top ten in the Myriad Worlds, in order to live a second life.
“Then... Bingbing will... sit... next to Brother Chu Tian.” Shengzu nodded, very obediently sitting beside Chu Tian, waiting for him to finish his tasks before playing with her. Having been lonely for countless years, even just quietly sitting beside her brother made her feel very content.
