236. Opening the Coffin, Boundless Light!

"Well!"

a long time.

Qi Zixiao sighed inwardly, "So be it, so be it. My image as Saintess has already been completely shattered..."

"With that guy causing trouble during this trip, I'm afraid things will collapse completely."

"In that case, it might be easier and safer to just let go and be yourself."

Having spent quite some time in the modern world, Qi Zixiao found that she could now rattle off a whole set of theories.

For example, wouldn't it be easier to let loose and be yourself?

In fact, Qi Zixiao had no idea what kind of personality she had before, because she had been cultivating in the Purple Mansion Holy Land since she was a child, had never come into contact with outsiders, and had never really understood what she liked.

Anyway, the first thing I do every day when I open my eyes is cultivate.

After spending time in the modern world, Qi Zixiao discovered that she wasn't actually the kind of ' Iceberg Beauty ' she was supposed to be.

If you want to pretend, you can certainly do it, but the problem is it's exhausting!

At that moment, she suddenly began to ponder a question, which was...

What exactly is one's true 'nature'?

Qi Zixiao pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing that if she considered all her actions on Earth, especially those she had done when she first came into contact with Earth, together...

Am I the 'goofball' that people talk about?

Or is it just 'silly'?

Thinking of this kind of thing.

Several black lines appeared on Qi Saintess's forehead...

Is this Saintess a goofball and a silly idiot?

Nonsense!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

but...

She decided to gradually let herself go.

After all, it's tiring to always keep a "stiff" expression.

Of course, "letting go" doesn't mean messing around recklessly; it simply means choosing to do things as you please and according to your own whims most of the time.

This way, it will be much easier and less tiring.

"However, the question now is, when will this coffin be opened?"

Qi Zixiao thought for a moment and then contacted Sister A'Wu.

"Sister A'Wu, how long do you think it will take before this coffin is opened? Or is this coffin the most valuable item in this Burial Ground?"

"It should be inside this coffin, but I don't know when it will be opened."

Sister A'Wu responded through Divine Sense: "However, it shouldn't be too long."

"So, all we can do is wait?"

Qi Zixiao whispered.

But at that very moment, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

"Damn it, Laozi can't take it anymore!"

Nine Dragons Holy Son Zou Hu, stepped forward, cursing and shouting, "Gentlemen, who knows when this coffin will be opened!"

"In my opinion, if we all work together, I refuse to believe we can't open it!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't that be a waste of our precious time?"

"That makes sense!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with a great deal of support, with many people echoing his sentiments.

That's how it should be.

"Let's work together and open this coffin!"

"We've searched almost everywhere else, but haven't found any treasure. It seems the treasure must be inside this coffin. Let's open it as soon as possible so we can find it using our own abilities!"

"Right!"

Many people echoed his sentiments, Zou Hu nodded, then said, "In that case, please join me in making a Holy Son."

"However, let Holy Son make this clear from the start: this is the tomb of my Demon Ancestor. While treasures are meant for the virtuous, you must not disturb the remains of my Demon Ancestor!"

"If anyone commits such a disrespectful act, don't worry, this Holy Son will show no mercy!"

The tomb of Demon Ancestor?!

Many people nodded silently...

It's really not hard to guess.

This place is deep within the Ten Thousand Demons Tomb. To be buried here, and with such a large coffin, what else could it be but a demon?

This size is big enough to bury a mountain!

What kind of corpse would require such a large coffin?

It's not like you're stirring a large vat with a toothpick.

"Gentlemen."

Boom!

Zou Hu soared into the sky, his aura exploding wildly at that moment. His strength was so great that most people turned pale at the sight of him.

Even the Holy Son, upon sensing Zou Hu's aura, had a solemn expression, but only a slight one!

Undeterred, he was the second to soar into the sky, his entire body already adorned with superb special effects—a dazzling array of colors and densely packed with Dao principles—making him even more eye-catching than Zou Hu ...

Immediately afterwards, almost everyone made a move!

Rumble!

Countless secret techniques, magical arts, and magical artifacts launched a terrifying attack on the Giant Coffin. In that instant, it seemed as if even the boundaries between heaven and earth were blurred!

Countless Dao principles roared, and dazzling spells covered the sky and the earth, like a huge, raging wave crashing down on the terrifying coffin from all directions...

"..."

Qi Zixiao was also making a move, but at that moment, she suddenly thought of something.

"Should we light a candle first?"

"When it comes to digging up graves, they're the real professionals, aren't they?"

"And... there seems to be some kind of saying that if you bury a coffin upright, what will happen?!"

"In the movie, it seems to be described as a dragonfly skimming the water."

"There seems to be a saying in the novel that... something is being suppressed?"

Thinking of this, Qi Zixiao raised an eyebrow.

It seems... not so simple.

So, should we light candles or not?

She thought for a moment and said, "Well, I don't have any candles with me right now. In that case, I'll just have to take it one step at a time."

"But it is still an ancient demon. We have only ever heard of humans suppressing things, never of ancient demons suppressing things."

"It can't be that a great demon used its own corpse to suppress a person for tens of thousands of years, can it?"

Rumble!!!

A terrifying offensive swept across the land, triggering thunderclaps.

As these attacks struck the coffin, an even more terrifying demonic sound instantly filled the air, extremely frightening and horrifying.

It can cause hallucinations and visions at any time.

This forced everyone to divide their attention between resisting the illusions and attacking, thus weakening their offensive considerably.

Even so, by this moment, nearly 100,000 people have gathered here!

Apart from Lu Ming and a few other "small accounts", the rest were all at least at the Nascent Soul Realm or above, and were disciples of "major sects" or even "holy lands".

Although the Holy Land Disciple live in relatively peaceful environments and therefore lack combat experience, they also have their own advantages.

That is, powerful skills and awesome equipment!

With everyone's combined efforts, in just a short while, the huge coffin began to shake violently. Then, the coffin lid, which seemed to be welded to the surface, also developed a slight gap with the coffin itself.

The gap isn't large.

But everyone present was a cultivator, so how could they not see clearly?

"There's movement!"

When that crack appeared, everyone was overjoyed!

"A gap has appeared!"

"Quickly, let's give it a push, just a little more effort, and we can open it up completely!"

The atmosphere became even more lively.

Most people were going crazy over it, after all, the coffin was gradually opening, and the treasure was about to appear...

However, Qi Zixiao had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

As she made her move, she couldn't help but say to her teammates, including Dan Chengzi, Shen Divine Calculator, Fan Jianqiang, and Chen Cheng, "Don't stray too far from me later."

"I always felt that something was not quite right."

As soon as she spoke, Fan Jianqiang immediately shrank back. "Something's not right?"

"Then... why don't we leave first? Since Her Your Highness Saintess feels there's a problem, why should we take the risk?"

"..."

Nobody paid him any attention.

The guy looked left and right, and finding that no one was paying attention to him, he sighed and stopped muttering.

However, they still followed Qi Zixiao's advice and got a little closer to Qi Zixiao.

Boom!

Another loud bang, and finally, the entire coffin trembled, and then... whoosh!

The coffin lid opened, and in an instant, boundless light burst forth!

"It's open!!!"

The coffin was a thousand feet long. Even if only a crack was opened, it was already quite large, enough for dozens of people to walk in side by side.

At that moment, everyone became excited and stopped fighting.

Some of the bolder ones, who were confident in their own defensive capabilities, even rushed out at this moment, trying to get into the coffin before everyone else!

However...

Buzz!

Suddenly.

The boundless light that was originally gushing out from the coffin suddenly contracted and began to frantically 'rewind'!

Moreover, it is backtracking at an even faster speed than when it came!

"Not good!"

Everyone was shocked, but it was too late!

At this moment, all people and objects illuminated by the boundless light felt an immense attraction, and then, uncontrollably, they flew rapidly toward the opened crevice!

"This is?!"

The Divine Calculator looked surprised and uncertain. He used all his strength, but still couldn't control his body.

"Aaaaaah! I'm going to die! This is a crisis!"

Fan Jianqiang was screaming and yelling, as if he were about to die at any moment...

The other cultivators were also in a panic, and at this moment, they used all their means!

However... it was no use!

Whoosh!

Whether they were Golden Core stage cultivators or Void Refinement stage Holy Son and Saintess, none could resist this suction force and were rapidly flying towards the coffin!

"Sister A'Wu?!"

Qi Zixiao's expression was serious. She too was unable to resist the suction force, but she firmly believed that if she activated the Sky Gazing Mirror, she could definitely resist it.

"No need to resist..."

Sister A'Wu responded, "I will protect you and help you enter."

"Within this coffin... I sensed a familiar aura. If possible, I must obtain it!"

A familiar scent?!

Qi Zixiao's expression hardened.

What was that? She didn't know.

However, anything that Sister A'Wu finds familiar must be extraordinary!

Besides, Sister A'Wu emphasized that she should try her best to get her hands on that thing!

"Don't resist, come inside with me!"

Resistance?!

At this moment, almost all the cultivators were resisting, but Qi Zixiao, reminded by Sister A'Wu, told the rest of the team not to resist, and even... accelerated and rushed forward!

In an instant, they moved with incredible speed, rushing ahead of everyone else.

Seeing this, the Holy Son followed suit and went after him!

As the Purple Mansion Holy Son and Saintess of the Purple Mansion accelerated, many bold and powerful cultivators naturally did not hesitate any longer and also sped up!

It was only a moment...

Boom!!

The boundless light that had been emanating from it disappeared, and the enormous coffin closed again, sealing itself perfectly!

However, the terrain in this area has undergone tremendous changes.

What was originally just a cliff has now become a giant pit...

Everything that the immeasurable light touched was taken away!
