A dizzying sensation washed over him, and Yang Zhen was forced to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He roared in fury, "Damn it, break this Sage of Saunter!"
boom--!
Yang Zhen withdrew his hands and slammed his fists heavily into the ground. Instantly, the earth shook and a fierce aura soared into the sky. Amidst the flying waves of earth, the entire hall was turned upside down and transformed into a completely different place.
Amidst the endless dust swirling in all directions, everyone felt as if they were in the midst of a raging storm in a vast ocean, their bodies tumbling and crashing, causing them pain all over.
Yang Zhen also suffered quite a bit from the impact, mainly because she lost her balance and had no point of leverage.
Rocks flew everywhere, air surged, and excruciating pain resounded. It was unknown how much time had passed before the entire hall gradually calmed down.
Yang Zhen jumped up immediately, and was immediately dumbfounded.
Gong Sanhe, Si Ding Chun, and Wen Yuning were all lying on the ground in a sorry state. Death Shadow, like an old clown, clung to a huge coffin like an octopus, muttering curses incessantly.
Seeing that the upheaval had finally stopped, Death Shadow spat out the dirt in his mouth, got up, dusted himself off, and asked, "What happened?"
Gong Sanhe and the other two also got up, staring at the Death Shadow with wide eyes. The Death Shadow was completely bewildered. He looked himself up and down and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was not missing any arms or legs. Just as he was about to speak angrily, his expression suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at his feet.
"Boo bastard!"
At that glance, the Death Shadow leaped three feet high, landing beside Yang Zhen. Pointing at the enormous coffin at its feet, it exclaimed in horror, "What the hell is this thing?"
Before Yang Zhen could speak, Death Shadow let out another cold snort, "Kid, I'll settle the score with you after we get out of here. You actually tricked this old man. Did you know all along that there was a restriction in here?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I realized this place was unusual a long time ago. But you're such a senior, we have to be reasonable, right? Tell me, did I let you in?"
"You gave in!" Death Shadow glared!
Yang Zhen chuckled as he looked at the Death Shadow and said, "A person should speak with their conscience. I was just giving you a suggestion, or perhaps a not-so-appropriate idea, but you're the one who stepped into it."
"You... shameless brat!" Death Shadow stared in disbelief, clearly unable to do anything about Yang Zhen.
Looking back now, Yang Zhen really didn't let him in; it was he who insisted on going in, and before going in, he even spouted a bunch of grand principles.
"Hmph! What's with this coffin? Where did it come from?" The Death Shadow stared blankly at the enormous coffin in the center of the hall, asking with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Thinking about how he had just been carrying such a large coffin, Death Shadow's expression turned somewhat grim.
After confirming that Ding Chun and Wen Yuning were alright, Gong Sanhe came to Yang Zhen's side and said, "Is this the true face of the Heavenly Secret Lock?"
"Who knows?" Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Let's go take a look!"
Another coffin!
This was the second time Yang Zhen had seen a coffin in such a place. The first coffin was inside the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda; it was a transparent coffin, and the stunningly beautiful female saint lay inside.
Now, inside this Heavenly Secret Lock, there's such a huge coffin. Could it be that more than one person lies inside?
This coffin was about three to five times the size of an ordinary coffin. It was covered with mysterious patterns that looked extremely complicated and profound. Just looking at it made one feel drowsy.
As Yang Zhen slowly walked to the coffin, Gong Sanhe suddenly shouted, "You two, don't look at the patterns on the coffin!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Chun and Wen Yuning were immediately startled and hurriedly nodded in agreement, but their curious gazes fell on Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen... was staring intently at the patterns on the coffin.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
The three were of similar age. The other two couldn't even look directly at the patterns, while Yang Zhen was able to stare wide-eyed, studying the details. Such a difference in their cultivation levels?
The Death Shadow also looked over with curiosity, squatting down to touch the patterns on the coffin, but suddenly staggered and cursed, "Damn it, what is this thing? I feel a dizzying sensation!"
Gong Sanhe chuckled and said, "Old man, if you don't understand, step aside, lest you become a burden to us!"
"What?!" Death Shadow roared, pointing at Gong Sanhe, "You dare call me a burden? I... I'll go watch over those two little ones!"
The Death Shadow walked away cursing, while Gong Sanhe shook his head and chuckled, looking at Yang Zhen and asking, "Did you figure anything out?"
Yang Zhen shook his head. These patterns were not the patterns he had ever seen before. They were neither like Yang Zhen Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions, nor like Star Inscriptions, nor even one of the Heaven and Earth True Runes. Instead, they were a completely different pattern, as if it had never appeared in this world before.
No, it's not that it never appeared, but rather that Yang Zhen never noticed it.
Perhaps if Dao Fanatic were here, she would be able to see some of it.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen became even more interested. Although he didn't know what these patterns were, Yang Zhen gradually figured out their function. It turned out to be a way to deceive the heavens!
They deceived everyone!
What grand ambitions!
The Great Saint could set up such a complex scheme must be an extraordinary array master, at the very least, someone whose skill in the Earth Treasury Technique should surpass his.
That's quite interesting.
The Heavenly Secret Lock Heavenly Secrets, which has been used to lock away Will of Heaven and Earth since ancient times, is an existence that can evade the will of heaven and earth. Now, inside the Heavenly Secret Lock, there is a coffin engraved with the pattern of "Crossing the Sea to Deceive the Heavens". The purpose of the person lying in the coffin is obvious.
This is someone who wants to defy fate!
"These patterns are meant to deceive everyone, but I've never seen them before. Senior Gong, have you ever seen such patterns before?"
Yang Zhen turned her head to look at Gong Sanhe with a curious expression.
Upon hearing the phrase "deceive the heavens and cross the sea," Gong Sanhe's expression changed drastically, his face flashing with surprise and uncertainty. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Let me think about it!"
As he spoke, Gong Sanhe closed his eyes, but his hands moved rapidly, making small hand Method Formula, clearly calculating something.
No matter what kind of calculation it was, Yang Zhen got a headache just looking at it. In that short time, he was almost asleep when Gong Sanhe suddenly exclaimed, startling Yang Zhen.
The Death Shadow was even more terrified than Yang Zhen, almost suffering lasting effects. Trembling, it glared at Gong Sanhe and said, "You old man, what are you yelling about?"
Gong Sanhe ignored the Death Shadow, his gaze fixed intently on Yang Zhen, and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be some kind of sacrificial inscription!"
"A eulogy?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "The kind of eulogy on a tombstone?"
Gong Sanhe shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary sacrificial inscription, but a pattern used to refine the soul after death. It should have originated from the Southern Frontier Continent."
" Southern Frontier Continent?" The Death Shadow suddenly cried out, appearing before Gong Sanhe Gong Sanhe a strange expression. He said, "Old man, you're not mistaken, are you? You really came from the Southern Frontier?"
Before Gong Sanhe could speak, Death Shadow muttered to himself with a grave expression, " The Southern Frontier are all a bunch of insidious and evil fellows, and most of them are experts in dealing with insects. Could there be some insects here?"
Upon hearing the word "insect, "Wen Yuning gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale. Even Ding Chun swallowed hard, his eyes darting around as he looked at his surroundings, clearly terrified of the insect mentioned by the Death Shadow.
