Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon didn't understand what Jun Wuxie meant.

There were immortal treasures in the coffin, a fact right before his eyes. As long as he obtained the immortal treasures, how could it not be an opportunity?

However, he was curious as to why this human would say such a thing.

He figured this human wouldn't deceive him.

After all, there was no need for him to do so.

In terms of strength, this human was stronger than him. If he had malicious intentions, he could completely kill him here, but he didn't do that, so why would he bother to deceive him?

Thinking this, the Xuanming Serpent Dragon walked forward with curiosity.

When he arrived in front of the ancient coffin and saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The remains inside the coffin were incredibly lifelike, without the slightest change due to death and the passage of time, and didn't even look like a corpse.

It was a woman, extremely beautiful, as if she were asleep.

Even after dying for who knows how many years, her skin was still like congealed fat, snow-white and smooth, and still retained a rosy glow.

In stark contrast to the woman's remains, which were like a fresh life, were the remains of a man lying next to her.

That skeleton had long lost its flesh and blood, leaving only bones.

The bones of the skeleton were crystal clear like jade, shimmering with luster, and one could still feel traces of immortal energy contained within.

The hand bones of the skeleton passed through the woman's fingers, intertwined, and held tightly together.

From this scene, it could be inferred that the two people in the coffin, even if not husband and wife, should be deeply in love with each other.

However, judging from the man's skeleton, his realm before his death should not have been low, otherwise it would have been impossible to maintain such crystal-clear jade-like bones.

Generally speaking, as long as one reaches the realm of eternal life, under normal circumstances, even after dying for tens of thousands of years, one can still ensure that the physical body does not decay.

Even if it's not as lifelike and rosy-faced as this woman, the physical body will not rot to the point of having no flesh and blood at all.

Careful observation of the inside of the coffin revealed that the man's physical body did not decay naturally.

Otherwise, the decay of flesh and blood would inevitably soak the coffin and leave traces.

However, there were no traces of natural decay of flesh and blood in the coffin at all, and the woman's clothes were not stained in the slightest.

Besides these, what was also noticeable was the woman's mouth.

The woman's red lips were slightly open, and she held a snow-white, crystal-clear jade bead in her mouth.

The pure immortal essence was coming from this jade bead.

"You humans actually have this kind of emotion," the Xuanming Serpent Dragon suddenly said with emotion.

Jun Wuxie gave him a surprised look, "What are you talking about? Humans are the most emotionally rich race.

It's a little strange to hear you, a cold-blooded animal, say this."

"Hey, can you speak properly? What do you mean by cold-blooded animal!

Although I am a serpent, I am different from ordinary serpents, okay?

Our Xuanming Serpent Dragons are born with intelligence.

All creatures in the world that have opened their minds have rich emotions.

Isn't that the reason why you humans have rich emotions?

Don't think that just because you can beat me, you can slander me!"

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon was very indignant, feeling very concerned about being called a cold-blooded animal.

Jun Wuxie wanted to laugh at his appearance.

However, Mo Qingli, who was beside him, had different feelings.

The scene in the coffin and the words of the Xuanming Serpent Dragon were causing some ripples in her heart.

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon said that all creatures with intelligence have rich emotions.

He himself was very concerned about being called a cold-blooded animal.

Looking at herself, as a human, she had severed all emotions and desires.

This path was destined to be incompatible with the people of the world and all the spirits of the world.

Looking at the two remains in the coffin again.

A pair of men and women who deeply loved each other.

What kind of emotion did they have?

The man's realm before his death was obviously not low, and he could have completely preserved his physical body.

But his flesh and blood disappeared, and did not decay naturally.

Obviously, it was very likely that he transformed his own flesh and blood into the final life essence and injected it into the woman's remains before his death, coupled with that immortal treasure bead, which allowed the woman to remain lifelike after dying for tens of thousands of years, and her face remained rosy, just like a sleeping person.

The price for the man to do this was that his remains lost flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton.

They should have been in love.

If it was admiration like she had for Jun Shen, how could they lie beside him and be buried in the same coffin?

If it wasn't love, doing so would be an act of blasphemy and disrespect.

All living beings in the world, love between men and women, always allows one party to be willing to give for the other.

What kind of emotion is love between men and women?

Mo Qingli felt a little curiosity for the first time.

The curiosity stemmed from her inability to understand, feeling very strange, and wanting to explore.

However, she quickly abandoned the thought in her heart.

How could she be curious about love between men and women?

She didn't need to understand this emotion at all.

The love between men and women of others, no matter how they never abandon each other in life and death, no matter how unforgettable, that is the matter of others.

She would never come into contact with love between men and women, which would be contrary to the path of Supreme Forgetfulness.

Love between men and women is a poisonous drug for the Dao, and taking it will inevitably damage the foundation of the Dao.

"Human, although I sympathize with them very much, and I am a little moved by the feelings between them.

But this cannot convince me that this is not an opportunity.

The immortal jade in the mouth of this human woman still contains pure immortal energy.

Although it has lost nine out of ten after a long time, as long as I take it out, it can still allow me to break through my current realm and increase my strength!"

"You're right, this immortal jade is indeed an immortal treasure. Absorbing the immortal energy inside can allow you to break through your realm.

Before that, let me ask you a few questions.

Do you usually live on land or in a lake?"

"In the lake. This lake is special, easy to hide.

I am not yet an adult, and have not grown to the minor stage, so I dare not expose myself too much.

This world is not safe. There are often creatures coming and going, and they pose a great threat to me."

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon didn't hide anything. He could feel that this human youth had no malice towards him.

"In that case, since you have been lurking in this lake for so many years, should you have discovered this underwater ancient city long ago?"

"That's right, I did discover it long ago, and I have been here before.

It's just that at that time, this place was in a sealed state and could not be entered."

"Is it that you couldn't enter, or that you didn't sense the immortal energy in the past, so you didn't force the door open."

"This… I didn't sense the immortal energy before. I was worried that forcibly breaking the door would cause abnormal fluctuations and attract those creatures."

"Then think about it, why didn't the immortal energy here overflow for so long in the past, but it overflowed recently?"

"What do you mean by this?"

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon showed a different color.

"Look at this ancient coffin, it doesn't have a lid.

In the past, there was no overflow of immortal energy, indicating that this hall was in an absolute sealed state.

Recently, why did the seal disappear?

If it gradually disappeared over the years, then there should be a process.

That is to say, you, who are lurking in this lake, should have been able to feel some fluctuations of immortal energy long ago, instead of suddenly feeling the fluctuations of energy without any warning."

"Are you saying that someone tampered with it on purpose?

But I am in this lake. If someone comes in and forcibly breaks the seal, how can I not feel it?"

"Normally speaking, you should feel it, but it doesn't mean you can definitely notice it.

The person who came here has a way to make you unable to detect it."

"Is that so?"

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon pondered slightly, then looked at Jun Wuxie, "You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?

If what you said is true, then what is the purpose of the person who did this?"

Jun Wuxie shook his head, "I can't guess his purpose for the time being.

However, if my guess is true, then his purpose is definitely not simple, and he is planning something big.

Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort.

This immortal jade is priceless, but he doesn't take it, using it as bait.

If he can't get a greater return, he definitely won't do this."

"Listening to you say this, I feel a little creepy.

What kind of person is so insidious and despicable? What does he want to do?"

"Don't be impatient, I'll take a closer look."

Jun Wuxie's eyes were fixed on the immortal jade.

Immediately, he used the Dao of Talismans and activated the Pupils of the Dao of Talismans, working on both sides.

Before long, the immortal jade held in the woman's mouth had some reaction.

Faint traces of extremely faint marks appeared within the immortal jade.

"This is…"

The Xuanming Serpent Dragon's expression changed in shock, "It seems to be a tracking mark!"

"This mark not only has a tracking effect.

It is condensed by an extremely mysterious secret method, and it is difficult to be discovered.

Even if you refine this immortal jade, it is difficult to detect its existence.

There are some Dao patterns inside the mark. In addition to the effect of being tracked, it also has other effects.

For example, it will sense certain special things and affect the subconscious mind carried by the mark."

"Brother Yuanchu means that someone set up a trap, wanting to lead the person who comes here to take the immortal jade to a certain place?

Then who is his target, is it us, or the Xuanming Serpent Dragon?

How does he know that we will definitely come here, and how does he know the Xuanming Serpent Dragon?

Unless he discovered the Xuanming Serpent Dragon long ago.

It's just that, if he discovered the Xuanming Serpent Dragon long ago, then why didn't he take action directly?

Since he has the ability to set up methods here that the Xuanming Serpent Dragon cannot detect, it seems that his strength is mostly stronger than the Xuanming Serpent Dragon."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wu Xie was silent for a moment, contemplating before saying, "Perhaps his target isn't fixed.

His target is anyone who can come here and obtain the Immortal Jade."

Qingli still doesn't understand what kind of psychology and purpose lies behind this person's actions.

He indiscriminately schemes, luring people here. What does he want to do?

We came here for training, and there shouldn't be such a person among the disciples of the top-tier Dao lineages.

I have carefully observed the disciples of each Dao lineage and don't think any of them possess such abilities.

Besides, the timing doesn't match up.

If someone is deliberately setting up a scheme, then they must have arrived in the Forgotten Land before us.

But before that, the Forgotten Land was in a semi-sealed state, and only the higher-ups of the major Dao lineages could enter."

"Of course, he arrived here before us and arranged everything in advance.

The change in the environment here is likely related to that person.

If that's the case, then he probably colluded with the creatures of the Ghost Witch Clan.

Otherwise, how could the Forgotten Land have lost the aura of the Ghost Witch power?

Currently, although we don't know his true purpose, it's certain that his plot is significant.

I'm afraid it will bring considerable disaster to those who enter the Forgotten Land this time…"

After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he continued to use the Primordial Rune Dao, spending a full half hour carefully peeling off the mark inside the Immortal Jade.

After the mark was peeled off, Mo Qingli finally saw what it was and couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is… a part of the Rune Dao talisman. That person is well-versed in the art of Rune Dao, and…"

She wanted to say that it seemed to be the Primordial Rune Dao, the same Rune Dao that Lord Jun was cultivating!

However, because the Xuanming Flood Dragon was nearby, she didn't say the rest of her words.

"That's right. I didn't expect to meet a fellow practitioner.

His Rune Dao realm is much higher than mine."

Jun Wu Xie incorporated the mark into the Universe Heaven Piercer, suppressing it within the Rune Dao Universe Sea.

This way, that person would not be able to sense the situation through the mark.

"You have already peeled off the mark. Now, this Immortal Jade can be taken out and used.

I don't have your means to peel off the mark.

Since you peeled it off, then the Immortal Jade belongs to you. I won't compete with you. This time, I submit!"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon said.

"You can't beat me anyway, so what's the point of not submitting?"

Mo Qingli's cold and clear words caused the Xuanming Flood Dragon to choke on the spot, feeling like it was about to faint.

"Humph!"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon snorted unhappily.

Being unable to defeat this young man whose realm was much lower than its own was a knot in its heart, making it very depressed and aggrieved.

With its bloodline, it prided itself on being invincible in the same realm, rarely meeting an opponent.

As a result, it was actually reversed-defeated by a human with a lower realm, and it was still a physical collision, making it a little doubtful about life.

"Let's not take this Immortal Jade and let it stay in her mouth."

Jun Wu Xie looked at the woman's remains in the coffin and the bones beside her, sighing softly.

Immediately, he reached out and grabbed, and the collapsed and broken stone objects in the hall flew over one after another.

Under his methods, those stone objects quickly merged and were refined into a coffin lid.

"Human, you actually gave up the Immortal Jade?

With your realm, you need this kind of resource, it can allow you to break through many realms!

You actually gave it up like that?"

"Although the Immortal Jade is precious, there are things to take and things not to take."

Jun Wu Xie covered the coffin lid and applied layers of seals using the Rune Dao.

"I can't quite understand your choice…"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon said, expressing its inability to understand.

"How did this world come to be? Why did this city sink into the lake?

What exactly happened back then?

The creatures you spoke of that pose a threat to you come from a universe called the Ghost Witch Realm.

They are extremely evil and have great ambitions.

This world was once the battleground between the Mixed Origin World and the creatures of the Ghost Witch Clan.

This city must have suffered as a result.

The person in the coffin was also a hero who fought against the creatures of the Ghost Witch Clan.

Regardless of this aspect or the emotions the man in the coffin paid for the woman, we should not destroy it.

It's just an Immortal Jade."

The Xuanming Flood Dragon looked at Jun Wu Xie for a long time, then said, "I understand, I submit to you! You human are worth befriending!

I want to go with you!"

"You go with us?"

Mo Qingli spoke before Jun Wu Xie could.

She didn't like having unfamiliar creatures following her and Lord Jun.

"I want to find out who set up this scheme with you and see what he wants to do!

He actually schemed against me, it's not that easy, I will make him pay the price!"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon was very angry.

It had wasted so much time here, only to learn that someone was setting up a scheme here. Wasn't it being played around in circles?

If it weren't for this young human, it would definitely have been fooled in the end, and who knows what serious consequences it would have brought.
