Chapter 436: Chapter 339: Coffin of Hundred Lives_2
Yun Fuxue shook her head, “Consider it a trial, if I cannot withstand even this degree of oppression, how will I ever step into the Divine Emperor’s Realm?”
Li Cheng hesitated slightly but did not force her, and they continued on.
After several more transmissions, the void finally lacked the shadow of stars, and the whole world plunged into darkness and silence, seemingly reaching the edge of the cosmos. The oppression brought by the darkness and silence was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
“The Transmission Array is no more; from here on, we can only rely on ourselves!” Yun Fuxue said.
Li Cheng nodded. Here, the Heaven and Earth Laws were extremely silent. If a battle occurred here, combat power would undoubtedly be greatly suppressed.
After sensing carefully, Li Cheng indeed felt the aura emitted by the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi, like a bright light in the darkness, guiding him forward.
Having identified the direction, Li Cheng, holding Yun Fuxue’s hand, quickened their pace.
A year passed, and Yun Fuxue had already adapted to the endless silence and darkness’s oppression; she let Li Cheng hold her jade hand, a gentle smile on her face.
“The Outer Great Wall is indeed far. If it weren’t for the guidance of the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi, I’m afraid we would have already been lost,” Yun Fuxue said, but her words bore no hint of complaint, as if she enjoyed the journey.
“It should take about another year, Xuer, do you want to rest in the Divine World? You don’t have to undergo such hardship alongside me,” Li Cheng said.
Yun Fuxue shook her head, looking earnestly at Li Cheng’s profile, and smiled, “It’s not hard, Brother Cheng, how about I lead the way for a change?”
Li Cheng chuckled silently, shook his head, and continued onward.
Another year went by and finally, a faintly luminous ribbon of light appeared in the endless void ahead.
The ribbon of light spanned across the void, stretching for countless billions of miles, with no end in sight.
As they drew closer, the two finally discerned what it was – the Outer Great Wall!
In front of the Wall, a continent formed by the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi was taking shape, and powerful auras dispersed across the land.
“We’ve finally arrived. Because of the God Race invasion, Buddhism, Daoism, and even Demon Gods have temporarily united, a rare moment of peace,” Yun Fuxue observed as she sensed the auras on the continent.
Although the peace was fleeting, the fact that these ancient enemies in the Divine Realm had temporarily banded together spoke volumes about the might of the God Race.
They landed on the continent, and the true form of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable appeared, immediately leading them to the heart of the land.
“This continent is evolved from the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi, which has strong restraints against Evil Demons. That’s why those Evil Demon Divine Emperor powerhouses are reluctant to dwell here; they are all stationed over there,” he said.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable pointed into the distance, where one could vaguely see, Divine Palaces standing beside the Great Wall.
Li Cheng glanced over and then averted his gaze, asking, “Brother, has my father gone to the Long River of Time?”
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable looked at Li Cheng, somewhat surprised, as if curious about how Li Cheng had guessed.
Without a word, he led the two to the central Divine Palace, deactivated the Formation, and entered.
Walking into the Divine Palace, the robust fluctuations of Time enveloped them. A crack stood at the center of the hall, through which the Long River of Time could be seen clearly!
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe was sitting cross-legged in front of the crack. The man had frost at his temples, appearing to be in his forties, but his face was handsome without a single flaw, and his dense eyebrows conveyed a full spirit.
He was the Confucius Ancestor of this era. He was sitting with his eyes slightly closed, clearly entering the Long River of Time with his Divine Soul!
But suddenly, the Confucius Ancestor opened his eyes!
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable sighed endlessly, “Confucius Ancestor, have you failed again?”
The Confucius Ancestor rose to his feet. Seeing Li Cheng and Yun Fuxue, a solemn expression on his face immediately transformed into joy, “Good to have you back!”
Li Cheng, looking at his father, who bore some resemblance to him, nodded vigorously, “Father!”
The Confucius Ancestor nodded and turned to the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, he sighed, “I could only travel back to ten billion years ago; any further and a great power barrier prevents passage, impossible to cross!”
“The God Race?” The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable asked.
The Confucius Ancestor nodded, “Perhaps the God Race had anticipated this long ago. I suspect not only ten billion years back, but even further into the past, the God Race powerhouses must have left their strength in the Long River of Time.”
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable frowned, “In the history of our Human Tribe, there has been no shortage of supreme beings. Could it be that they left nothing behind?”
At a realm like that of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable and the Confucius Ancestor, who could easily sense the heavenly secrets, there definitely had been historical beings as powerful as them, so why had they not lent their aid?
Were they powerless to act?
Li Cheng was also contemplating this question when suddenly an idea struck him, and he took out the coffin his master had given him, “Before I left, my master gave me this coffin!”
Both people looked at the coffin Li Cheng had taken out and, after a glance, their expressions were filled with surprise.
The Confucius Ancestor gathered his thoughts and a smile appeared on his face, “Wu Ya actually contributed this thing?”
“The Coffin of Hundred Lives! With it as a boat, traveling to a trillion years ago would not be difficult,” Chaos Yuan Great Venerable said.
The Coffin of Hundred Lives?
Li Cheng had not heard of it, but it seemed his father and the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable were well acquainted with it.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, Li Cheng finally asked, “What’s the story behind this Coffin of Hundred Lives?”
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable said, “Your master, I don’t know how many times he has reincarnated, but in the last ten lives he was known as the Nine Star Great Emperor, you should know that, right?”
Li Cheng nodded. He was aware of that, and he even speculated that his master’s prominence wasn’t limited just to these ten lives; surely he had a significant reputation before that as well.
“This Coffin of Hundred Lives is the crucial object for your master’s reincarnations. Your master often goes to the Long River of Time, and it is because of it,” the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable said with a smile.
Taking over the conversation, the Confucius Ancestor said, “Wu Ya must be very clear that if I were to use the Coffin of Hundred Lives as a vessel to travel to such a distant past, the Coffin is very likely to shatter, yet he still brought it. It seems he is ready to no longer reincarnate.”
Li Cheng was somewhat puzzled; what was the purpose of his master’s successive reincarnations? To achieve a form of longevity in disguise?
Ordinary Divine Emperors live for ten billion years, and if one reincarnates every time their life span ends, it would indeed be a form of disguised longevity.
But that process must be far from tranquil and perhaps entails suffering unknown to ordinary people.
From his father’s words, it seemed that perhaps his master could no longer continue to reincarnate in the future.
“How many lifetimes has my master been through? Who was he originally?” Li Cheng asked.
The Confucius Ancestor and the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable exchanged glances, and the Confucius Ancestor said, “The Coffin of Hundred Lives, for a hundred lives. Calculating that, he should be from the epoch where the God Race was driven out, he might even be a participant.”
“But reincarnation doesn’t carry all memories. If he truly has been through a hundred lives, he can at most retain parts of the memories from the last few lives.”
Li Cheng was astounded. Did that mean his master had lived for a trillion years in disguise?
But was there any point in living that way?
Perhaps his master had already become indifferent to it.
Changing the subject, the Confucius Ancestor said, “You’ve been told about the matters of the Secret Land, right? What are your plans?”
The God Race sent tens of thousands of people into the Secret Land, while on this side, only Li Cheng and Yun Fuxue were present. This was because the Confucius Ancestor and the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable felt that Li Cheng alone was enough, and Yun Fuxue was merely accompanying him.
“I don’t have any plans yet, I’ll see when I get in there!” Li Cheng couldn’t give a good answer and had to say so.
The Confucius Ancestor smiled, “Then you decide what to do, I believe you’ll choose the appropriate way to handle it.”
Entering the Secret Land, Li Cheng’s main goal was to search for traces related to the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture; if he could find a way to properly cultivate up to the thirty-third level, that would be more than ideal.
If so, it would be easy to neutralize the threat posed by the God Race, whether it was him or the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, as long as one of them could cultivate a few more levels.
“There’s no time to delay, you should go now, I am also preparing to use the Coffin of Hundred Lives to go to the God Race’s era to find answers,” the Confucius Ancestor said.
Li Cheng nodded, “Father, take care!”
Leaving the Divine Palace, Li Cheng looked at the towering Great Wall not far away, and on the Great Wall, he saw the entrance to the Secret Land.
Yun Fuxue took hold of Li Cheng’s arm, “I’m here with you!”
Li Cheng looked at Yun Fuxue, took her hand, and flew towards the entrance.
The Chaos Yuan Great Venerable stood at the entrance of the Divine Palace watching the two enter the Secret Land, then turned back into the Divine Palace, “Elder, they have gone in.”
The Confucius Ancestor nodded, his gaze moving away from the Long River of Time and looking at the Coffin of Hundred Lives, “Please take my place as protector.”
“Rest assured, Elder, as long as I live, I will not let this Divine Palace suffer the slightest damage.”
As long as the Divine Palace remains unharmed, the Confucius Ancestor will be able to find his way back; otherwise, he might get lost in the Long River of Time.
