112: Ancient burial ground, using corpses to prove the truth

Creak…

Jiang Qingchen hesitated for a long time before gently pushing open the lid of the nether bronze coffin. A chill emanated from within the bronze coffin, causing the surrounding temperature to drop.

“Hmph!!!”

Ye Fojian stood beside the bronze coffin. He instinctively looked inside, and the scene within instantly made his eyes widen. He covered his mouth with his hand and retreated a few steps!

The person inside… was shriveled like a mummy!

Jiang Qingchen’s heart trembled as he slowly extended his palm and gently caressed Mu Wanjun’s aged face. An indescribable sense of oppression left him speechless.

His other hand rested on the side of the bronze coffin, his fingers occasionally tracing its surface.

“I don’t know what Revered Master promised you all to make you willingly enter into marriage contracts, one after another!”

“After Revered Master disappeared, one after another, you jumped out to break off the engagement. Only you, like a fool, kept that ridiculous promise. At first, I thought you were just trying to win the promise Revered Master made to you!”

“I had no choice but to divorce you. Who told you to try and drug me, almost turning raw rice into cooked rice!”

“Well, even after divorcing you, you still clung to me. I told you not to fall in love, but you wouldn't listen, and in the end, you ended up with a shattered Dao Heart!”

“Now, why must you appear again, getting entangled in Karma, and ending up in such a state!”

Jiang Qingchen spoke as if chatting with an Old friend he hadn’t seen in many years, reminiscing about their shared past.

Beside him.

Divine Appearance Child remained silent, his eyes flickering. Listening to Jiang Qingchen’s words, he seemed to have realized something, and a sense of disbelief immediately washed over him.

Could this man in front of him be the protagonist of that incident back then—Immortal Seeking Sect’s useless Disciple, Jiang Qingchen!

On the other side, Ye Fojian seemed to have heard some earth-shattering gossip, and his curious heart began to stir again.

The person in the coffin, was she Revered Master’s former fiancée?

And listening to Revered Master, there was more than one fiancée?

What if… one of them regretted it and suddenly got back together?

What about Qu Zhiyin?

Ye Fojian suddenly felt his brain wasn’t big enough; the relationships were so complicated!

But he still hoped that Revered Master and Qu Zhiyin would be together.

Jiang Qingchen was unaware of his thoughts.

At this moment, he was communicating with System Maid.

He asked, “System Maid, how is it? Is there still hope?”

System Maid responded, “Her entire body’s Qi and blood are withered, and her Lifespan is exhausted. She must have used some secret technique. Her vitality is gone. It’s truly difficult to revive her!”

“However, a trace of her true spirit remains. To revive her, one would have to achieve Dao through a corpse, but that is also very difficult.”

“Achieve Dao through a corpse? How is that done?” Jiang Qingchen asked, puzzled.

As long as there was a glimmer of possibility, he wouldn’t give up.

System Maid explained, “Just as that Divine Appearance Child said earlier, bury her in the Taigu Burial Ground, absorb the Yin and cold Qi from the burial earth, gather the essence of the sun and moon, and Cultivate as a corpse!”

“This process will be very long, possibly tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, or even several epochs.”

“And success is not guaranteed. It requires the cooperation of the Corpse God Flower to allow the corpse to gain sentience before it can Cultivate as a corpse. The Corpse God Flower does not exist in this era; throughout the myriad realms of the heavens, only a few will ever appear!”

Taigu Burial Ground, Corpse God Flower!

Jiang Qingchen murmured softly. Since there was a way, there was hope. As for the time, he didn’t care.

“System Maid, can the Corpse God Flower not appear as a reward?” Jiang Qingchen suddenly asked.

System Maid replied very definitively, “No.”

“Sigh, alright!”

Jiang Qingchen was helpless.

Since it couldn’t, then he would just have to go find it!

He came back to his senses, slowly closed the nether bronze coffin, then met Divine Appearance Child’s gaze and said coldly, “I will help out in the Nether Sea when the time comes, but for certain reasons, I cannot always act, so many times you will have to rely on yourselves!”

The mastermind had not yet appeared. He didn’t think these few forbidden zones would have the strength to Seal the entire Xuan Yun Continent.

They were perhaps just the vanguard, and behind them, there must be even more terrifying existences, as well as some fallen ones on the Xuan Yun Continent.

He needed to draw them out step by step. Directly destroying the Nether Sea might make these people afraid to show themselves!

“Don’t worry, my Taichu Holy Land is not made of paper; it still has some heritage. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have survived until now through the dark turmoil of the past few epochs!”

Having such a Strong One help was naturally a blessing. Divine Appearance Child looked at Jiang Qingchen with a complex expression; some things perhaps had an answer at this moment.

Although he didn’t know what had happened to Jiang Qingchen during these two hundred years that made him so powerful.

But for him, this was also a good thing. Perhaps all of this was within Han Qianfan’s calculations!

Just as he was about to ask more questions, the Great Dao suddenly let out continuous wails, making people unable to help but shed tears!

Another Saint had fallen!

Divine Appearance Child suddenly looked at the distant anomaly, his face changing.

“Your Excellency, I still have matters, so I will take my leave first. I entrust Mu Xian’er to you!”

He was somewhat worried that something had happened to the people of the Holy Land. After quickly retrieving the nether bronze coffin, he cupped his hands to Jiang Qingchen and then turned to leave.

“Revered Master, what exactly happened!” Ye Fojian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his face filled with sorrow.

Jiang Qingchen pondered for a moment and explained, “It should be that the Taichu Sacred Ground’s Sage and the Nether Sea’s Saint are fighting. Someone has fallen, but it’s unknown whose side it is!”

“Then will Revered Master go help?” Ye Fojian suddenly understood.

“With that Old Man just now, I don’t need to act!” Jiang Qingchen shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and then said, “Alright, let’s go back to the Sect. Don’t keep the guests waiting!”

Ye Fojian naturally knew who Jiang Qingchen was referring to as guests and respectfully replied.

“Yes, Revered Master!”

…

Soon after, Divine Appearance Child crossed the Void Realm and quickly arrived at the battle location.

He saw that the Saint King of Taichu Holy Land had just slain the last Saint of the Ancient Underworld Clan.

All five Saints of the Ancient Underworld Clan had now fallen.

“How are things!”

Divine Appearance Child landed beside the Saint King, his gaze fixed on the green poisonous domain not far ahead.

The Saint King, seeing Shenxiang Old Ancestor, rejoiced and quickly explained.

“Shenxiang Old Ancestor, several of the opponents’ Saints have been slain by me. However, Taihua’s situation is not very good. He is enveloped by that poisonous domain, and none of us can break through it!”

Those poisonous gases could devour their spiritual power, which was extremely strange, leaving them helpless for a time, only able to worry from the sidelines!

“Hmm, I’ll go take a look!”

Divine Appearance Child approached the poisonous domain. The other Saints, seeing this, bowed in greeting.

“Greetings, Shenxiang Old Ancestor!”

“No need for formalities,” Divine Appearance Child waved his hand, signaling them to stop, then carefully observed the poisonous gases.

He extended his Divine Thought. When the Divine Thought entered the poisonous domain, the poisonous gases suddenly surged and scattered wildly, actually beginning to corrode Divine Appearance Child’s Divine Thought, attaching themselves to it, which was extremely strange.

Divine Appearance Child frowned slightly, instantly releasing a vast energy to push back the poisonous gases.

These poisonous gases could actually attach themselves to Divine Thought. If one wasn’t careful, retracting Divine Thought could very likely lead to these poisonous gases entering the body!

“Old Ancestor, how is it? Is there a solution?”

The Saint King inquired.

Although it was somewhat tricky, it wasn’t impossible for Divine Appearance Child. He nodded gravely and said.

“You all step back a bit. I’ll give it a try!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Everyone retreated.

Divine Appearance Child brought out a green gourd. In an instant, a massive suction force was released from the gourd, rapidly drawing in the poisonous gases, which visibly diminished.

Before long.

All the poisonous gases were completely absorbed, and a figure, corroded and covered in blood and flesh, appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Taihua!”

The Saint King, seeing this scene, rushed forward in horror.

“Stop, don’t touch him!” Divine Appearance Child, seeing this, immediately spoke to stop him, blocking the Saint King’s path, and explained, “His body is now full of highly toxic substances. Anyone who touches him will die!”

“Taihua used his last strength to Seal his heartpulse, so he’ll be fine for now. We need to get him back quickly and then figure out how to remove the poison from his body!”

Saying this, he turned his gaze to a burly Saint nearby and instructed, “Qingzhen, among the few outside, you are the fastest. Immediately go to the Dan Dao Institute to invite Dan Sheng, and then go to the Poison Cave to invite the Poison Saint as well!”

“Yes!” Saint Qingzhen nodded in response and turned to leave.

“Let’s go back!”

Divine Appearance Child enveloped Taihua’s body and led everyone back to Taichu Holy Land!
