"Oh, everyone's here! Good morning!"
Yang Zhen greeted them casually, while the Azure Lotus Sect Master and the others looked at him strangely.
Lin Miaoyi stood behind the Fake Old Daoist, looking at Yang Zhen with an icy expression. Her face was extremely strange, and her breathing was intermittent and disordered.
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement; it seemed Lin Miaoyi had been exhausted from being by his side for those two days.
Wait, beside him?
Yang Zhen suddenly understood why Lin Miaoyi looked at him with a biting gaze.
My Sage of Saunter, I'm not a casual person, I was just really too tired at the time.
Since they've gone to such lengths to help the Azure Lotus Sect, we should definitely ask them for some benefits in return.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master forced a smile, walked up to Yang Zhen, and said, "Young friend Yang, you've worked hard. Are you ready?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I'm ready. I wonder how many people the sect leader would like to bring in, so I can make some adjustments."
"Wha... what?" The Azure Lotus Sect Master was taken aback, looking at Yang Zhen with hopeful eyes and asking, "Young friend Yang, do you mean... this sect master can also go in?"
"Of course you can go in, otherwise why would I prepare so much stuff?"
Zhou Tong understood Yang Zhen's words, came to Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen, stared at him, and said, "Boy, I want to go in too. It's settled then, there has to be one spot for me."
Granny Chenggui snorted, glared at Zhou Tong, and forced a smile at Yang Zhen, saying, "Young friend Yang, count me in."
Yang Zhen she didn't kick her; Granny Chenggui's smile was truly terrifying. No wonder this old woman always had a face like a coffin lid.
Yang Zhen quickly agreed, saying that she looked better with a straight face.
After agreeing, Yang Zhen realized that this wasn't something he could decide on his own, since the Holy Land belonged to the Azure Lotus Holy Land.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I'll take two elders in, Elder Jia and Elder Feng, plus Elder Zhou and Granny Chenggui. How about the four of us?"
"Okay!" Yang Zhen nodded. He wished he hadn't made such a fuss. He thought the Azure Lotus Sect Master would mobilize a large force and charge in.
Lin Miaoyi, standing to the side, gritted her teeth and glared at Yang Zhen before saying to the Azure Lotus Sect Master, "Sect Master... this disciple also wishes to go in."
The Fake Old Daoist glared at him and said, "What are you going in for? There might be danger inside. You should stay outside."
Although he spoke with a straight face, everyone could see that the Fake Old Daoist still cherished his disciple Lin Miaoyi very much.
Lin Miaoyi just stared at Yang Zhen, as if to say, "If Yang Zhen can go in, why can't I?"
The Azure Lotus Sect Master gave Lin Miaoyi a deep look, then said with a smile, "Let her go in. It's good to see some things."
As he spoke, the Azure Lotus Sect Master asked Yang Zhen, "Adding Lin Miaoyi along, is that alright?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "No problem."
The Fake Old Daoist stared at Yang Zhen with a suspicious look, then looked at Lin Miaoyi. Perhaps he remembered that Lin Miaoyi had stayed in Yang Zhen's room for two whole days, because his old face turned dark.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes at the Fake Old Daoist priest. "This Sage of Saunter didn't steal your cabbage, why the dark look?"
The Azure Lotus Sect Master was clearly impatient and hurriedly led Yang Zhen back to the sacred site.
The holy land remained as desolate as ever, but hidden within this desolation lay a place of extraordinary complexity.
After Yang Zhen finished setting up the array plate and other arrays, he came to the vicinity of the cave entrance and, under the intense gazes of everyone, stomped heavily on the ground.
"Open Sesame!"
Yang Zhen shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder, and waves of sound rushed towards the cave entrance.
This "open sesame" announcement nearly stunned everyone.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master looked completely bewildered, muttering to himself, "Could it be that our ancestor set up this kind of restriction back then? 'Open Sesame,' what a strange Mnemonic."
Yang Zhen staggered upon hearing this, coughed lightly, and stomped his foot on the ground again.
The Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch certainly wouldn't have uttered such a childish "discovery" statement. However, there were some things that Yang Zhen needed to dispel with the Nine-Character Mantra -Nine-Character Mantra, but he didn't want these people to know that he possessed such a thing. Therefore, he had a sudden inspiration and used the universal "Open Sesame" Mnemonic.
Buzz--!
A deafening roar echoed from the cave entrance, causing the surrounding space to ripple and surge.
The cave entrance, which had been a mess before everyone's eyes, suddenly became magnificent and resplendent, as if a curtain had been drawn back.
Magnificent and resplendent?
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the hole made of pure gold, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
That old geezer really knows how to enjoy life! He built himself a golden tomb to pass away in!
Damn, this is the first time Yang Zhen has ever seen so much gold. He even had the idea of taking all of it to the Blue Planet.
How much would this thing cost?
The others were clearly dazzled by the magnificent sight before them, staring dumbfounded at the cave entrance adorned with countless patterns.
Gold is not very valuable in the Cultivation World; it is just an ordinary material used to inscribe formations.
The only advantage of this material is that it is durable and can remain uncorrupted for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, other materials can also be used to replace gold, but gold looks more prestigious, so many alchemists still prefer to use this material.
"Young friend Yang, may we go in now?" the Azure Lotus Sect Master asked excitedly.
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "It's alright, but there might be danger inside, so it's best to be careful."
The leader of the Azure Lotus Sect laughed heartily and said, "I will know this myself. For now, you all follow behind me, and I will clear the way for you."
When Yang Zhen stepped into the holy land, his head was almost turned into mincemeat. When he came to his senses, he had already arrived in another world.
Seeing the lush mountains, trees and flowers around him, Yang Zhen gasped. It really was a Realm within a Realm!
roar--!
Before anyone could react, a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth. The wind and clouds surged in the sky, and a golden dragon roared and charged toward them.
The terrifying shockwave was earth-shattering, and Yang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately ran backward and was at the bottom in the blink of an eye.
The golden dragon was a real dragon, so lifelike that Yang Zhen could even sense its vitality.
boom!
As the dragon roared, a breath of its energy struck the spot where they were, instantly turning the surrounding environment into ruins.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master and Zhou Tong, among others, wore expressions of shock. Barely maintaining their defenses, they let out a loud shout and charged towards the golden dragon.
Deep in the sky, an enormous coffin floated horizontally, surrounded by bursts of lightning and terrifying Void Power.
Yang Zhen was deeply shocked; he had never seen such a large coffin before.
The ice coffin of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan was only the size of a normal coffin; in terms of coffin size, the Nine Dragons ' coffin was larger.
But compared to the coffin in front of them, Nine Dragons's coffin looked like a child's toy.
Yang Zhen glanced at it briefly; the coffin was a hundred feet in size, its fierce flames billowing beneath the sky.
