Chapter 322 - 321 Burying the Coffin

Chapter 322: Chapter 321 Burying the Coffin

As soon as they stepped into the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land, a hundred prodigies fell.

Exactly one hundred people.

Someone even took the time to verify it, including prodigies from top forces.

A disciple of Hua Qiuchen’s could not escape fate either.

This scared them all out of their wits, and they wanted to withdraw from the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land.

But for some reason, when they tried to leave, they found that the exit had vanished!

There was simply no way out!

"We’re doomed!"

At that moment, they were all thoroughly panicked.

It was too dangerous a place, impossible to leave once you entered!

"What was that ’inheritance of memory’? It was clearly a trap meant to harm us!" Hua Qiuchen’s face was extremely ugly.

Yun Chen and Yun Tong’s faces were pale at this moment too.

Just now, they had witnessed the deaths of over a hundred prodigies, who died without even struggling, in an extremely bizarre manner.

There were fewer than seven hundred of them in total, and now a hundred were dead. If the same situation recurred, it would only take six more times to wipe them all out!

"It’s all the fault of Ye Xuan from the Emperor Immortal Sect. If it weren’t for him, why would we have come in here!?"

Some people’s eyes were filled with venomous resentment, cursing Ye Xuan.

That statement immediately won the agreement of many.

"Right, if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have rushed in here so blindly, and naturally, we wouldn’t be trapped now!"

For a time, many people were blaming Ye Xuan.

They had been waiting outside the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land for a long time, precisely because they did not enter this place earlier, fearing the terrible dangers within.

Now it seemed that the dangers here were indeed terrifying.

They were completely trapped in this place.

Who else could be blamed if not Ye Xuan?

Even Yun Chen and others, who originally had no such inclinations, were now somewhat starting to place blame.

Would they have followed in if Ye Xuan hadn’t charged in directly?

But now, there was no turning back.

Of course, Ye Xuan was not here at the moment; if he were, no one present would dare to say such things.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan had led Zhou Youwei, Xia Yichen, and the Blood Robed Youth to a certain graveyard.

Upon arriving, Zhou Bingyi, Xia Yichen, and the Blood Robed Youth were all shocked.

Coffins everywhere!

There were wooden coffins, bronze coffins, and even golden coffins!

All sorts of coffins lay on the ground.

Most of the coffins had their lids on.

Only a few coffins were open.

"Where did all these coffins come from?" the Blood Robed Youth couldn’t help asking.

Zhou Youwei and Xia Yichen also cast curious glances at Ye Xuan.

"This place was formed naturally; each type of coffin contains different opportunities, but there might also be dangers lurking within," Ye Xuan assessed the multitude of coffins carefully, choosing with vigilance.

"Formed naturally by heaven and earth?" Everyone was surprised.

These coffins could actually be formed naturally by heaven and earth?

"You’re not planning to bury us with these coffins, are you?" Xia Yichen suddenly remembered something Ye Xuan said earlier and asked subconsciously.

"Of course," responded Ye Xuan matter-of-factly.

Xia Yichen’s mouth twitched uncontrollably; this guy really intended to bury them?

"Go lie down in that coffin," Ye Xuan said, pointing to a coffin that looked like rotting wood, addressing the Blood Robed Youth.

The Blood Robed Youth froze in place, full of disbelief.

Damn it, is he really going to bury us?

"What are you waiting for?" Ye Xuan gave the Blood Robed Youth a sharp glance.

The Blood Robed Youth looked towards Xia Yichen, "Saint Heir..."

Xia Yichen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go."

In the end, he chose to trust Ye Xuan.

At least after entering the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land with Ye Xuan, they had not died, which meant that what Ye Xuan said was entirely correct.

Now, they had no choice but to trust Ye Xuan.

"Okay," the Blood Robed Youth replied, his face resigned to fate, walking towards the rotting wood-like coffin.

"Don’t hurry in, perform the ritual of three prostrations and nine bows first," Ye Xuan instructed.

"......" The Blood Robed Youth was once again at a loss for words.

Was this the equivalent of bowing in advance for his own funeral?

The Blood Robed Youth grumbled inwardly.

But he still did as Ye Xuan said, carrying out the ritual of three prostrations and nine bows, then dutifully lying down in the coffin.

"Don’t close your eyes; maintain this for seven days, and then you can come out," Ye Xuan reminded. "Remember, if you close your eyes, you won’t be able to open them again."

The Blood Robed Youth, who had been about to close his eyes, suddenly startled and said solemnly, "I understand."

Ultimately, it was Ye Xuan himself who put the lid on the coffin, then promptly had Xia Yichen dig a hole beside it to bury the coffin.

"He won’t suffocate to death, will he?" Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but ask.

Xia Yichen also looked at Ye Xuan with some concern, "Ye Xuan, you better not harm us."

Ye Xuan offered a faint smile, "Don’t worry, after seven days, he will definitely run to me and take me for an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yichen felt somewhat reassured.

"Go to that coffin," Ye Xuan then pointed at a black wooden coffin not far away and said.

"Can I... not go?" Xia Yichen asked awkwardly.

"It’s possible, but you will surely die," Ye Xuan said cheerfully.

Before Ye Xuan’s words had hit the ground, Xia Yichen scurried to the black wooden coffin, performed the ritual of three prostrations and nine bows, then obediently lay down inside, not daring to close his eyes.

"Ye Xuan, will this place look the same after seven days?" Xia Yichen asked.

"After you wake up in seven days, you’ll be back at the Ghost Tomb," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

In the midst of conversation, Ye Xuan covered the coffin lid to prevent Xia Yichen from chatting too much.

After covering it, Ye Xuan buried Xia Yichen as well.

Having done all this, Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei felt Ye Xuan’s gaze, a trace of shyness and irritation surfaced in her beautiful eyes, she whispered softly, "Husband, you are not going to bury me too, are you?"

"Of course," Ye Xuan revealed a grin, "but not here."

"Tian Lu, let’s go!" In Zhou Youwei’s exclamations, Ye Xuan held her and galloped away on Tian Lu.

After they left.

The rotten wooden coffin that had been used to bury the Blood Robed Youth reappeared at the very same spot.

And the place where it had been buried returned to its previous state.

Not long after.

The black wooden coffin containing Xia Yichen also re-emerged.

And the burial spot reverted back to its prior condition.

The most eerie aspect was that the lids of both coffins were open.

If someone were to look inside, they would discover they were both empty.

The Blood Robed Youth and Xia Yichen, who were supposed to be inside, had vanished into thin air.

Regrettably, nobody knew about all this.

The only person in the know was Ye Xuan.

This was the Law of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, which Ye Xuan had long since fully grasped.

Just like the preceding thunderous boom, known as Yama Soul Collection.

It served as a metaphor for King Yan coming to claim lives.

All these peculiarities, within the confines of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, were not strange at all.

Because the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was one of the most terrifying Forbidden Lands in the world.

Even though this part of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was just a small fraction of the actual Heavenly Pond Graveyard, it still retained all of the same Laws.

Ye Xuan, leading Zhou Youwei and following Emperor Soul’s guidance, headed towards an exceptionally auspicious location.

There, there was a Star Divine Coffin.

It was also the only Star Divine Coffin in this place.

"Youwei, remember, you must not close your eyes. After seven days, you will come out and at that point, you should have achieved Perfect Nine Cave Heaven."

After making Zhou Youwei lie in the Star Divine Coffin, Ye Xuan repeatedly cautioned.

"Husband, you take care," Zhou Youwei nodded and said, still somewhat nervous.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, slowly closed the lid of the Star Divine Coffin, and then buried it.

After doing all this, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and called out, "Tian Lu, have you found the Divine Sun Sword?"

Tian Lu blinked his eyes and responded in a childlike voice, "Found it."

"Let’s go!" Ye Xuan’s eyes shone slightly and he leaped onto Tian Lu.

Boom!

Just then, another peal of thunder rolled.

Yama Soul Collection!

Ye Xuan paid it no mind.

He knew that after this boom of thunder, another hundred people would die.

As for who died, nobody knew.

All in all, beneath the Yama Soul Collection, no one could withstand it.

Even a great Emperor, if they couldn’t find the key, had only one path to death.

This, was why the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was known as one of the most terrifying Forbidden Lands in the world.

The Laws of this Forbidden Land were beyond resistance.

But if one did find the key, it would be like a fish in water.

Just like...

Ye Xuan.

Throughout the ages, Ye Xuan had traversed countless Forbidden Lands, unraveling many of them, seeking opportunities within.

This time was no exception.
