Chapter 423 - 421: Female Corpse

Chapter 423: Chapter 421: Female Corpse

「Two days later.」

The terrifying Array Restriction shrouding the cavity of the Dead Volcano was finally breached by Wei Yuting, who opened a passage.

Qiu Kunsheng and his party were able to descend into it.

Following the cold, powerful aura,

they eventually arrived before a cave inside the cavity.

The cave appeared to be a space carved out of the rock wall with a blade or sword.

Inside, simple living amenities like a stone table, stone chairs, and stone stools were all present.

On the dust-covered stone table,

lay a tea set also caked in dust.

It was clear

that this place had been sealed for a very long time.

However, Qiu Kunsheng and the others paid no mind to these details. Their gazes were fixed intently ahead, at the end of the cave, on a black coffin of unknown material floating vertically in mid-air!

The Black Coffin was densely covered with unknown, tadpole-like runes.

At the same time,

it was like a block of ten-thousand-year-old ice.

An endless, chilling aura poured out from the Black Coffin, filling the area and seeping into the void.

It had transformed the entire Secret Realm Ruins into something akin to the underworld!

Even from a distance of several hundred yards,

Wei Yuting couldn’t help but feel a bone-chilling fear!

"The ultimate treasure of the Corpse Refining Sect is a Black Coffin?"

Wei Yuting’s expression was a little strange.

’But then again,’

’the Corpse Refining Sect is one of the Demonic Sects.’

’It’s not so surprising that their ultimate treasure is a Black Coffin.’

"Fairy Wei, are there any Arrays nearby?"

The space ahead was empty,

but Qiu Kunsheng clearly didn’t dare to step forward rashly. His gaze shifted to Wei Yuting, fearing a terrifying Killing Array might suddenly appear in the void before them.

Wei Yuting gathered her Heart Spirit.

She didn’t answer.

Instead, she took out an Array Plate. Activating the power within it, a clear light rippled out like a wave on water, sweeping through the empty space before them.

Nothing happened.

Wei Yuting gently shook her head.

"There are no Arrays set up here."

"Is that so..."

Qiu Kunsheng pondered for a moment, an eager glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at the Black Coffin.

"You lot, go scout ahead."

Qiu Kunsheng ordered the few Disciples following closely behind him.

Terror filled the Disciples’ eyes. They clearly didn’t want to be cannon fodder, but after opening their mouths and seeing Qiu Kunsheng’s icy gaze, they dared not say a word.

They could only walk forward, trembling with fear.

After some time,

the men had explored nearly the entire room.

They found nothing dangerous.

"Sect Leader, we found nothing!"

Qiu Kunsheng paid them no mind.

He took a single step, leaping several dozen yards to land a few yards away from the Black Coffin.

The temperature here had dropped dramatically.

The astonishing aura leaking from the floating Black Coffin was incredibly daunting.

All eyes were fixed on Qiu Kunsheng.

Qiu Kunsheng didn’t dare to be careless.

With a wave of his hand,

a burly figure that looked as if it were cast from silver appeared before him.

This was the Lifebound Silver Armored Corpse he had refined!

"Go, open the Black Coffin!"

At Qiu Kunsheng’s command, the Silver Armored Corpse moved to the Black Coffin, raised its rigid hands, and placed them on the coffin’s edge.

Everyone around held their breath.

The air was so still you could hear a pin drop.

BANG!

The Silver Armored Corpse put its strength into it,

and the lid of the Black Coffin was flung open with a loud thud, revealing its contents.

Inside the Black Coffin,

lay the figure of a woman.

She wore a moon-white dress, its fabric shimmering like frost. Her face was as smooth and lustrous as jade, giving one the impression of a Fairy who had descended to the mortal world!

However,

upon seeing the woman in the coffin, Wei Yuting felt the hair on her arms stand on end.

Because,

that figure was cold, completely devoid of any Vitality!

Not a single fluctuation of a Divine Soul could be felt!

This was a female corpse!

A female corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years, yet remained perfectly lifelike!

An utterly freezing chill emanated from her body,

and it seemed as if space itself was freezing over!

’According to Qiu Kunsheng, this is the ultimate treasure that has allowed their Corpse Refining Sect to be passed down for two thousand years.’

’Could it be that the ultimate legacy treasure of the Corpse Refining Sect is this female corpse?’

Watching the group from the Corpse Refining Sect, especially their leader, Sect Leader Qiu Kunsheng, stare at the female corpse with a fanatical expression, Wei Yuting felt a sense of unease.

At the same time,

while everyone’s attention was on the female corpse,

she began to retreat, her steps light and traceless.

But at this moment,

no one noticed her movements.

"The Sect’s ultimate treasure!"

"This is the legendary ultimate treasure of the Sect!"

Qiu Kunsheng stared intently at the female corpse in the coffin, his eyes filled with fanaticism, his Heart Spirit trembling with excitement.

He couldn’t be blamed for his reaction.

It was simply because this female corpse was too important.

Her existence was the very origin of their Corpse Refining Sect,

and the foundation upon which their Corpse Refining Sect’s path to the Dao was built!

According to the Sect’s records,

two thousand years ago,

the founder of their Corpse Refining Sect had been nothing but an ordinary Junior Loose Cultivator at the Qi Introduction Realm.

During an adventure, he accidentally unearthed this mysterious, lifelike female corpse.

Later,

through the Corpse Refining Technique,

the founder achieved sympathetic resonance with the mysterious female corpse for his Cultivation,

and eventually progressed step by step from the Qi Introduction Realm all the way to the Divine Travel Realm!

He even went on to found the Corpse Refining Sect!

Its significance was undoubtedly immense.

Moreover,

this mysterious female corpse was not just the item that led the Corpse Refining Sect’s founder to the Dao!

In every subsequent generation of the Corpse Refining Sect’s Disciples, there were some who managed to reach the Divine Travel Realm.

It was all because of the existence of this female corpse!

One could say

it was no exaggeration to claim she was the very foundation of the Corpse Refining Sect’s legacy!

And the reason Qiu Kunsheng was so excited

was naturally because this female corpse would be of immense benefit to his own path of the Dao!

With this mysterious female corpse,

it might not be impossible for him to glimpse the Divine Travel Realm in the future!

Qiu Kunsheng stepped forward, his face flushed with excitement,

wanting to observe her from a closer distance.

However,

at that very moment,

something unexpected happened!

PFFT!

With a muffled sound,

ahead,

Qiu Kunsheng’s Silver Armored Corpse was pierced through by a jade-white hand, as if its body were made of paper.

Qiu Kunsheng’s body suddenly stiffened, frozen in place.

And the scene unfolding before his eyes

sent a chill shooting up from the soles of his feet, making his very blood run cold.

He saw

that the mysterious female corpse in the Black Coffin

had, at some unknown point, opened her eyes.

On her lifelike, cold face, her two eyeballs were pitch-black, as if they were portals connected to an endless Dark Abyss!

At this moment,

it wasn’t just Qiu Kunsheng;

everyone present stared wide-eyed, a chill rising in their hearts.

A two-thousand-year-old ancient corpse...

had come back to life?!

In that instant,

everyone held their breath, unable to move so much as a finger!

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!
