103: Fragments of the Nine Heavens Goddess’ personality?

“Is there something behind this pillar?” Chen Tianming walked towards the pillar.

But soon, he found himself blocked by an invisible energy field about ten meters away.

It felt like hitting a huge, extremely resilient transparent film that bounced him back.

Chen Tianming thought for a moment, not casually destroying it, but instead walked around the area.

Eventually, he discovered that there was such an energy force field around these pillars, preventing anyone from approaching.

He glanced at Qi Lin, who was tied by vines in the air nearby.

It was pointless to guess on his own; it would be more efficient to ask the person directly.

With that thought, he casually conjured a water ball and threw it directly at Qi Lin's face.

“Ah!” The icy sensation instantly woke Qi Lin.

“What are you ‘ah-ing’ about?! I ask you, what’s the situation with this palace?”

After Qi Lin woke up, he was stunned by the scene before him!

What was happening? He… was tied up by vines?

Recalling the flashing electric light in Chen Tianming's hand before he fainted, he widened his eyes and asked in shock, “You have superpowers?”

With electricity flickering at his fingertips, Chen Tianming said indifferently, “This is called an ability.”

“If you don't want to answer my question, I'll repeat the previous process three to five times for you.”

Qi Lin immediately shivered!

“I, I haven't said I won't answer yet…” Having lost all his luck, he no longer had his usual arrogance and confidence, and his personality reverted to that of an ordinary person.

“But, if I tell you, will you let me go?”

At this moment, Qi Lin's mindset had also changed. Facing the powerful Chen Tianming, he only had the desire to survive, with no trace of confidence or thought of resistance.

Chen Tianming said without hesitation, “Yes.”

Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain, “This palace was passed down by our Qi family. It is said that hundreds of years ago, our Qi family ancestors discovered a tomb…”

After Qi Lin's explanation, Chen Tianming finally understood the situation here.

It turned out that the person in the crystal coffin was not the Qi family ancestor.

Qi Lin also didn't know who the person in the crystal coffin was, or why she hadn't changed at all for so many years.

They only knew that the stones on the ground here were very beneficial for cultivation.

As for the pendant in Qi Lin's hand, it was found in front of the tomb.

After generations of attempts, they discovered that if some people's blood dripped onto it, it could activate the pendant, allowing them to pass through that wall and enter the palace.

Regarding the crack in the palace, Qi Lin only knew that it was caused by an earthquake hundreds of years ago.

After Chen Tianming understood all the information, Qi Lin quickly said, “I've told you everything I know, so…”

“Wait, you said you'd let me go!”

Before Qi Lin could finish speaking, he saw Chen Tianming conjure a grayish-white longsword out of thin air.

He had seen this type of weapon before!

A look of horror immediately appeared on his face!

Chen Tianming's lips curved slightly upwards as he said, “I lied to you.”

Swish!

【Congratulations to the host for killing the protagonist Qi Lin. Devil's Value +2000】

After dealing with the protagonist's corpse, he took the other party's pendant in his hand and directly collected all the spirit stones in the palace.

“This pendant should require the holder to meet certain conditions to activate, but since Qi Lin can use it, I should be fine too.”

It wasn't Chen Tianming being arrogant; he now had his talents in martial arts, abilities, and Cultivator paths all maxed out.

No matter what kind of blood this pendant needed to activate, he was confident that he wouldn't be any worse than Qi Lin!

Thinking of this, he directly squeezed a drop of fresh blood and dripped it onto the pendant.

The next moment, the pendant indeed emitted a blue glow!

“As expected!” Chen Tianming's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know the principle, as long as it worked, he could slowly explore it later.

Just then, a crisp cracking sound suddenly echoed!

The sound wasn't loud, but in this extremely silent palace, it was quite noticeable!

Chen Tianming sharply turned his head to look in the direction of the crystal coffin!

That cracking sound just now came from there!

He walked to the crystal coffin and saw that the transparent crystal surface already had a clear crack!

Just then, Chen Tianming noticed that the Immortal Lady inside, whom he had already considered a corpse, had her eyebrows subtly twitch!

As if she was about to wake up!

Chen Tianming instantly felt the chilling sensation of a ghost story coming to life!

His eyelid twitched!

“The person inside isn't dead?”

He knew from Qi Lin that this was someone who had been lying in the coffin for hundreds, even thousands of years!

Who could live for a thousand years?

Even at the peak of martial artists, the Land Immortal realm, one could probably only live for three or four hundred years, right?

And they couldn't even live without eating, drinking, and using the restroom, while maintaining eternal youth!

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Tianming's mind.

“Could it be… this is really an Immortal?”

If it was a powerful Cultivator, everything seemed to make sense.

The surrounding spirit stones were her food, and now that he had taken the spirit stones, the spiritual energy was decreasing, so she was waking up?

“But hundreds of years ago, the spiritual energy recovery should still have been in a very rudimentary stage.”

“There shouldn't have been conditions for someone to cultivate to such a degree…”

Thinking of this, Chen Tianming's train of thought broke off again.

He just had a vague feeling that it should be related to the crack in the stone pillar.

Looking at the Immortal Lady who was slowly waking up, Chen Tianming thought for a moment.

Should he return the spirit stones?

No, it was impossible to return them. How about…

Chen Tianming's eyes darted, and with a Grit your teeth, he directly lifted the coffin with a loud crack!

Looking at the still-sleeping Immortal Lady, this was the first time in who knew how many years that her figure was completely exposed to the air.

Just then, a system prompt suddenly popped up in front of Chen Tianming's eyes!

【Ding! Female Lead detected!】

【Name: Wan Yue (Female Lead)】

【Special: Due to unknown reasons, Nine Heavens Goddess descended a personality fragment. The personality fragment is equivalent to a part of Nine Heavens Goddess, but it does not have corresponding memories…】

Chen Tianming stared blankly at the impressive panel description, standing rooted to the spot, with only one thought in his mind: Holy crap!

“A personality fragment of a being above an Immortal Emperor!”

For a moment, Chen Tianming felt as if he had returned to the initial bewilderment and shock he felt when he first transmigrated to this world!
