Since entering that fragment of the Foreign Realm Foreign Realm, Xiao Ping'an has been under the oversight of the local Great Emperor who has been converted, while he has been searching for some magical places to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.
After all, it was once a fragment of the Foreign Realm that was on par with the Immortal Domain. The aura of the Great Dao here was truly unique, and even a powerful expert at the level of Immortal King Giant felt greatly inspired.
He wasn't in a hurry to go to other fragments of other Foreign Realm or Immortal Domain, but planned to stay here and gain some insights before leaving.
After practicing here for a while, he suddenly had a strange idea.
In the perfect era, those Immortal King could already travel upstream and downstream along the River of Time.
Although interfering in historical events can trigger endless consequences and may backfire.
But what if it came with Bronze Coffin?
Could it be that the Bronze Coffin will bear the consequences, while I remain unharmed?
Once this thought took hold, it burned fiercely in my heart like a flame.
Xiao Ping'an immediately decided to give it a try.
So he embarked on his River of Time, taking the Bronze Coffin with him.
He then traveled upstream along the River of Time.
Since Ye Fan, the Ruthless Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor Wushi in the original text were able to search for the Desolate Heaven Emperor through the River of Time when they were at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
So, theoretically speaking, if Xiao Ping'an were strong enough, he should also be able to follow the River of Time to find the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
They even went River of Time to search for the Heavenly Emperor Chu.
Of course, all of this is just theoretical; there are too many things involved, and things won't go so smoothly in the River of Time.
Since the Red King was at the Immortal King realm, he could travel along the River of Time to kill the young Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Then Xiao Ping'an can naturally travel along the River of Time.
Xiao Ping'an uses Bronze Coffin as a boat to travel against the River of Time.
We are moving rapidly upstream along the River of Time.
It must be said that traveling through the River of Time is indeed a very unique experience.
He witnessed many wonders he had never seen or imagined before along the River of Time.
From the waves of that River of Time, we can also see one after another extraordinary geniuses who were born.
Xiao Ping'an didn't move; he simply observed silently.
He controlled the Bronze Coffin to move forward swiftly, trying to see through the fog ahead.
After sailing through the River of Time for who knows how many years, Xiao Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes shone with an intense light, as if they could tear apart the River of Time.
"Huh? Why is there a strange stone box floating on the River of Time?"
This was the first time Xiao Ping'an had seen the actual object from the River of Time.
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately controlled the Bronze Coffin and swam towards the location of the stone box.
Concealed by Bronze Coffin, Xiao Ping'an walked through the River of Time unnoticed by anyone.
It did not attract the attention of any powerful beings.
As Xiao Ping'an drew closer to the stone box, he was soon surprised to discover that the Shitou box was not floating on the River of Time.
Rather, in another world, his projection manifested on the River of Time.
I don't know where it is, nor what era it is.
After hesitating for a moment, he controlled the Bronze Coffin, tearing through the River of Time and arriving in that era.
Logically speaking, if a powerful being of his level, a Immortal King, were to forcibly descend upon a certain world or era, then the heavens and earth of that era would surely manifest countless astonishing phenomena.
It was as if they were simply announcing to everyone that an extraordinary person had arrived.
However, with the Bronze Coffin concealing it, no unusual phenomena were observed.
He simply descended into that space-time.
Rumble.
The Bronze Coffin emitted a soft green light, dispelling the surrounding Hundun, and Xiao Ping'an saw the scene beyond the Hundun.
Although he had expected it, he was still shocked.
In the depths of that boundless Hundun, there was an astonishing landscape.
Even across countless ages and through the Bronze Coffin, he could still feel an overwhelming killing intent.
They even sensed faint, eerie, and ominous wisps of energy.
"How could the atmosphere here be so terrifying?"
"Could this be the place where a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Emperor fell?"
Xiao Ping'an's expression was solemn.
He was also someone who had cultivated the Source Heaven Technique to its peak, and he was equally interested in this ominous place that exuded a tragic aura.
A complex expression flickered in his eyes, and countless runes danced in the air, clearly indicating that he was constantly making deductions.
This unique terrain and topography is of unknown origin, belonging to no particular world or era.
However, the powerful figure who perished here was undoubtedly incredibly strong.
Xiao Ping'an was confident that, within the Immortal King realm, almost no one could rival him.
However, the incredibly tragic aura before them definitely surpassed the realm of Immortal King.
At the very least, he should be at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
He felt a strong sense of resentment and anger.
He also sensed an eerie and ominous atmosphere here.
All of this made this desolate place appear even more sinister.
It's unclear whether that powerful figure died at the hands of a mysterious and powerful being, or whether he accidentally stumbled into a deadly situation during a pursuit.
He died there, completely and unwillingly.
Perhaps it was because the resentment and obsession of that powerful figure after his death transformed into this perilous place?
Or was this originally the Great Dao of that powerful being, which was then ambushed by a mysterious and powerful figure?
Seeing such a powerful expert die here, Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but sigh at the fragility of life.
Runes flickered in his eyes as he carefully examined the area, concealed by the Bronze Coffin.
He couldn't deduce who that powerful person was or what level of expert they were.
It's as if everything has been erased from history.
The River of Time here has long since evaporated, and everything has turned to ashes.
It was as if everything about that powerful figure had been erased from ancient history.
This shows just how powerful the enemies who were chasing him were.
Rumble.
The Bronze Coffin suddenly emitted a faint green light, revealing scenes that had once appeared here.
Just as Xiao Ping'an had predicted.
This perilous place was actually formed after the death of an incomparably powerful Immortal Emperor.
Faced with the even more terrifying and bizarre Immortal Emperor, and their siege, this person did not retreat or flee.
He chose to perish together with his opponent.
The most brutal and devastating battle of all time broke out.
The powerful members of that Weird Race paid a terrible price.
After severely injuring one of the strange Immortal Emperor, the powerful figure perished together with another strange Immortal Emperor.
They were utterly plunged into silence.
Watching the Immortal Emperor fighting a bloody battle, even across countless eras, Xiao Ping'an could still feel the soaring fighting spirit.
His heart was filled with excitement, and it took him a long time to calm down.
I never imagined this place would be the site where Immortal Emperor fell.
I just wonder what's inside that mysterious Shitou box?
Could it be that, like Emperor Bone Brother, after being corrupted by that Dark Weird, a part of his body was severed and preserved in the box?
The Shitou box suddenly began to shimmer, resonating with the light emanating from the Bronze Coffin.
The Shitou box erupted with an incomparably fierce killing intent, like the most powerful attack in the world, seemingly radiating world-destroying flames, as well as an eerie and ominous aura, and even more terrifyingly powerful Dao fluctuations.
Even a Immortal Emperor would likely be shattered by this terrifying fluctuation of the Great Dao.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping'an was hiding inside the Bronze Coffin, so this terrifying ripple of the Great Dao had no effect on him.
He never expected that the seemingly ordinary, ancient and weathered Shitou box would suddenly emit such a terrifying aura.
On the Shitou box, faint lines appeared one after another. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be all so-called extremely inauspicious places, with terrain and topography.
Rumble.
A dazzling light burst forth, and the aura emanating from the Shitou box far exceeded Xiao Ping'an's expectations.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the murderous aura and the fluctuations of the Great Dao all originated from that special terrain and landform.
That Shitou box is merely an imprint of the aura of the Great Dao here, as well as the unique terrain.
After being enhanced by that Shitou box, the terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao truly seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Countless Great Dao Runes appeared in this terrain, like a dazzling rain of light, and flew into the Shitou box.
Then an even greater wave emanated, manifesting more and more Great Dao Runes, but they were all absorbed by the Shitou box.
In a small corner of the Shitou box, a terrifying terrain map appeared.
It was exactly the same as the Jedi there, clearly a complete imprint. A very long time passed before that terrifying aura finally dissipated.
The Shitou box then became ordinary again.
Xiao Ping'an hid inside the Bronze Coffin, quietly watching all of this.
This Shitou box is truly mysterious, exuding an aura of age and history.
It possesses an aura that has endured countless ages and countless cycles of reincarnation, an aura of immortality and eternal life.
It turns out that this Shitou box had always been like a soul, moving on its own.
Subconsciously, I went to search for those desolate places, those places marked with terrifying terrain and landforms.
The Shitou box was originally supposed to fly away.
However, it seems to have a mysterious connection with the Bronze Coffin.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Xiao Ping'an looked at the Shitou box, wondering what Shitou was used for and what was inside.
He was debating whether or not he should grab the Shitou box.
He observed carefully and deduced meticulously, but he couldn't figure out what the Shitou box was used for or where it came from.
I honestly don't remember anything amazing about it; it was just a Shitou box.
Therefore, he really wanted to possess this Shitou box, which appeared to be a weapon of a Immortal Emperor and seemed to be ownerless.
Although the Bronze Coffin is now under his control.
But he knew perfectly well that the Bronze Coffin did not belong to anyone.
It was a coffin personally crafted by that supreme being to seal his own ashes.
Later, they gradually fell into the hands of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and then into the hands of Ye Fan.
This is both an unclaimed object and an object with an owner.
It can't stay in your hands for long.
Therefore, he truly coveted this Shitou box, which appeared to be a weapon of the Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the Shitou box automatically imprinted those extreme terrain features, it seems that it can also evolve automatically.
This is something he greatly admires.
After failing to arrive at a conclusion through his calculations, he gritted his teeth and decided to pull off a big heist.
The Bronze Coffin moved forward on its own under his control.
They safely traversed that dreadful terrain.
Then they moved closer to the Shitou box.
Rumble.
As the Bronze Coffin drew closer, a mysterious and profound aura seemed to flow through the Shitou box.
The Shitou box trembled violently and began to emit an extremely faint yet strange fluctuation.
As Xiao Ping'an had predicted, the Shitou box did indeed possess some spirituality, but it was not a weapon deity.
That hazy, unknowing spirituality—it all stems from instinct.
Seemingly sensing the mysterious aura emanating from the Bronze Coffin, the Shitou box actually flew up on its own, entered the Bronze Coffin, and landed in front of Xiao Ping'an.
It exuded a mysterious aura that resonated with the aura of the Bronze Coffin, and also emitted a faint glow.
Just as Xiao Ping'an was about to pick it up, another astonishing change suddenly occurred.
A faint, mysterious mist appeared and enveloped the Shitou box.
Then the Shitou box seemed to soften, and its entire shape began to twist and change strangely.
The box, with its sharp edges, gradually became rounder and more translucent.
It eventually transformed into a mysterious and rustic little pottery jar.
It looks like Shitou, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be made of divine jade.
The more Xiao Ping'an looked at this small earthenware jar, the more something seemed off.
"Why does it look a bit like Ash Jar?"
What bad luck!
"Could it really be the bones of that supreme being sealed inside?"
The Ash Jar had a lid, and the aura and divine essence it emitted made Xiao Ping'an feel a tremor throughout his body.
He looked at the jar, which resembled Ash Jar, and a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.
"This jar..."
"Could it be that, like the Bronze Coffin, it was made by that supreme being?"
"Could this be the Ash Jar that Heavenly Emperor Chu obtained during the Sacred Ruins era?"
Xiao Ping'an was shocked.
Looking at the Ash Jar, his hands trembled with a rare surge of emotion.
He picked up the Ash Jar and watched Ash Jar tremble slightly in his hand.
It emitted a supreme, thunderous roar, along with extremely profound Dao fluctuations—a Dao fluctuation that he could not yet comprehend.
His eyes burned with intensity, and countless Great Dao Runes manifested, surrounding the Ash Jar.
It was as if they wanted to see through everything about the Ash Jar, to see through all his secrets.
His cultivation had reached the level of Immortal King Giant, and ordinary things held no secrets for him.
But the more I look at this Ash Jar, the more it seems like an ordinary Ash Jar.
The more you look at it, the more it seems to resemble Ash Jar used in a mortal realm.
However, the more frequent and common the occurrence, the bigger the problem.
Because with Xiao Ping'an's current strength, even if he squeezed the Ash Jar with all his might, he wouldn't be able to leave any mark on Ash Jar.
Thinking about the mysterious resonance he had with the Bronze Coffin, Xiao Ping'an became even more certain that this Ash Jar was most likely the Ash Jar of that supreme being.
If it really is the Ash Jar of that supreme being, then he has struck it rich.
It should be known that the Ash Jar made by that supreme being had contained and sealed his ashes for countless eons.
And the ashes of that supreme being are the source of all pollution in this world.
The causes and effects involved here are far more complex.
If Xiao Ping'an hadn't read the trilogy and felt a connection with the Bronze Coffin, leading him to the origin of the Ash Jar, absolutely no one in the world could have deduced its Ash Jar and origin.
Even in the Sacred Ruins era, the Desolate Heaven Emperor and that Weird Progenitor were still clueless about the origin of this Ash Jar, unsure of its source.
Xiao Ping'an never expected that his impulsive journey through River of Time with the Bronze Coffin would lead him to find an incomparably precious Ash Jar.
This thing can prevent deductions, serve as a life-saving weapon, and also be used as an incredibly powerful offensive weapon.
It's so useful!
Looking at the Ash Jar he held in his hands, he was both surprised and delighted.
The Weird Progenitor of that Eerie Plateau reached the realm of Sacrificial Dao by relying on the Weird Substance in the Ash Jar.
It seems that this Ash Jar also has a strong restraining effect on those Weird Substance.
I recall that he once carried ten Weird Primordial Substance through endless years.
It should also be imbued with some kind of aura and the essence of the Great Dao.
Perhaps some Primordial Substance remain.
This Ash Jar is of a quality many, thousands of times better than the coffins of those Weird Progenitor.
Even the coffins of those Weird Progenitor were made of top-tier materials that are extremely rare throughout history.
But it was only crafted by a powerful cultivator specializing in Sacrificial Dao.
This Ash Jar, however, was personally crafted by that supreme being.
In terms of level alone, they are already far inferior.
Knowing that this thing was specifically designed to suppress Weird Primordial Substance, Xiao Ping'an wondered how he could make good use of it.
If one can suppress their primordial spirit through this thing and keep it clear, I wonder if they could use Primordial Substance and become a powerful Sacrificial Dao.
Although he is only at the Immortal King realm now, once his strength increases in the future, he will be qualified to try.
Thinking about these things now is still a bit much.
However, this did not stop Xiao Ping'an from making wild associations.
This Ash Jar seems to still emit a faint, ominous aura of memories. Could it be that there are still remnants of Weird Primordial Substance Ash Jar?
Xiao Ping'an didn't dare to open the Ash Jar. He looked at the lid, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately didn't open it.
His current strength is insufficient; if it truly is Weird Primordial Substance, his current power might not be enough to withstand it.
Then he began to silently sense the aura of the Great Dao emanating from the Ash Jar, as well as that strange divine charm of the Great Dao.
The supreme divine essence of the Great Dao was flowing through him. Although Xiao Ping'an couldn't understand it yet, he could feel the mysterious power and sacredness of the Great Dao.
If one can grasp even a little of this, it will surely benefit them for life.
He carefully examined the Ash Jar, trying to uncover all its secrets.
