Chongjiu glanced at the lightning tribulation in the sky again and estimated that there were only a dozen or so lightning tribulations left, and it would be over soon.

They had to leave as soon as she finished; the other two had already arrived.

The formation can hold them off for a while, but it can't hold them off for too long.

His formation is excellent, but it's not unbreakable. Moreover, he used ordinary spirit stones, so its effectiveness is limited.

"Go faster, time is running out," Chongjiu reminded the Golden Rat.

The gold-touching rat immediately sped up and soon reached the edge of the formation.

Then Chongjiu told him how to avoid the formation and move the jade coffin out.

After much hardship, the Golden Rat obtained the jade coffin. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and took a stone coffin from his storage ring, placing it where the jade coffin had been.

His actions made Zhong Jiu raise his eyebrows in pride.

A very clever move.

The gold-touching rat dragged out the jade coffin and placed it in front of Chong Jiu, looking at him with a smug expression.

Chongjiu asked Chaotian to give the Golden Rat a few spirit fruits as a reward, and then he looked at the jade coffin. He both hoped that Bai Jue was inside and didn't.

I hope it's Bai Jue, because at least we found him.

The reason for not wanting it is that, lying in the jade coffin, one's life or death is uncertain.

At this moment, Shu Jianyue also successfully broke through to the Profound Immortal Realm, and her cultivation level remained at the first level of the Profound Immortal Realm.

Shu Jianyue was satisfied. For her, as long as she broke through to the Profound Immortal Realm, that was enough. If she was a few levels short, she could just eat more spiritual fruits.

Opening his eyes, he got up and saw Chong Jiu and the other two standing in front of a jade coffin. He walked over in confusion and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Yu Chuan followed, burping, and looked at the jade coffin. He blinked and asked, "Where did you guys go tomb raiding?"

Chong Jiu glanced at him, too lazy to even acknowledge him, and answered Shu Jianyue's question, "It was taken out from under this tree by the Golden Rat. I suspect that it might be a white jade."

"But whether Bai Jue is alive or dead inside is unknown."

"What?" Shu Jianyue immediately took it seriously and looked at the jade coffin carefully.

"You suspect they've trapped Bai Jue here, which is why Hong Lang hasn't been able to find him?"

How did you make that connection?

Chong Jiu nodded. "That tree still has some vitality, which means that the main root was not dug up too long ago."

"I don't know the exact timeline, but roughly it matches the time when Bai Jue disappeared."

Shu Jianyue looked at him, paused for a moment, and then said, "So, it's too much of a coincidence."

If it really is Bai Jue inside, then this coincidence is too much of a coincidence.

"These array patterns are very complex; it would probably be difficult to open them."

Only by opening it can we determine whether the person inside is alive or dead.

Chong Jiu put the jade coffin away. "Let's leave here first. Those two people have been guarding outside the formation. They'll come in sooner or later."

Shu Jianyue saw it; she had used her spiritual power after overcoming her tribulation, so naturally she saw it.

Shu Jianyue glanced around and pointed in the opposite direction, saying, "We'll leave from that direction without dispelling the formation. This will hold them off for a while and confuse them."

Chong Jiu nodded, put his arm around her, gestured for the other three to follow, and then flew off in that direction.

Gong Yufu stared at the array in front of him, his brows furrowed ever since he arrived.

"We didn't find the person who broke through last time, so we definitely can't miss this one."

Zhong Yuxi shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. This formation is not something that ordinary people can break."

"If the person who set up this formation is breaking through, it is very likely that they are not the person we are looking for."

"We can't draw conclusions without seeing it." Gong Yufu is eager to return to Shenzhou. He sent a message back about the Supreme Temple, but hasn't received a reply yet, which worries him.

Zhong Yuxi glanced at him, her palm remaining on the array.

Sensing a slight fluctuation in the formation, he immediately channeled his spiritual power, drilling into the formation's barriers like a cone.

Upon seeing this, Gong Yufu immediately went forward to help him, but after a while there was still no reaction.

"Did you discover something just now?"

Zhong Yuxi nodded, "I sensed a slight fluctuation in the formation just now."

"What?" Gong Yufu immediately stopped and flew to the left, shouting, "Go to the right, the people inside must have left through the formation."

Zhong Yuxi only realized what was happening then and immediately flew to the right.

When the two reunited after circling the formation, Zhong Yuxi couldn't help but show a frustrated expression.

"I was so slow to realize that the fluctuations in the formation were caused by the people inside leaving."

Gong Yufu didn't speak, but looked in the direction Shu Jianyue and the others had left. "Do you think they left in this direction?"

Zhong Yuxi looked in the direction he was looking and shook her head, saying, "I don't know. The formation is still there, but we can't be sure if the people inside are still there."

Gong Yufu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go after them. You stay here and keep watch. Notify me immediately if there's any news."

Zhong Yuxi nodded, "Go ahead."

Gong Yufu immediately chased after the place where Shu Jianyue and the others had left.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't catch up with them who had already gone far away.

Back at the Supreme Temple, Chong Jiu took out the jade coffin again and examined the array patterns on it.

No matter how complex or different the array patterns are, they all share the same principle. Once you understand the pattern, solving it is only a matter of time.

Shu Jianyue watched with him; her skill level wasn't as high as Chong Jiu's, but it wasn't bad either.

The two didn't figure it out until the moon was high in the sky. They slowly untied the formation and then opened the jade coffin.

Seeing the person lying inside, Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Is this Bai Jue?"

The reason for asking this question is that the person lying inside is very beautiful, as beautiful as a woman.

Chong Jiu nodded. "He is Bai Jue."

Seeing that Bai Jue was still alive, Chong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a message to Hong Lang and Rong Jin, telling them not to search any further.

"Bai Jue is a woman?" Shu Jianyue's eyes widened in surprise.

Bai Jue's eyelashes fluttered.

Chong Jiu looked at him, his eyebrows twitching, and shook his head, saying, "No."

Shu Jianyue examined Bai Jue in the jade coffin. She looked too much like a woman, and the clothes didn't look like men's clothes either.

"So he likes being a woman?" Otherwise, why would he wear this kind of clothing?

Bai Jue's forehead twitched.

Chong Jiu laughed, not answering her question, but he also noticed Bai Jue's problem.

He is conscious, but his mind is sealed, so he can't open his eyes or speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shu Jianyue looked at Bai Jue and said, "She's really beautiful."

"This is almost on par with Yan Xi."

Chong Jiu looked up at her and said, "You are even more beautiful."

Shu Jianyue's face flushed slightly. That wasn't what she meant at all. "Don't be so frivolous. Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is there some other problem?"

Chong Jiu nodded, "You go out for a moment, I'll check and help him break the seal."

Shu Jianyue glanced at him, nodded, and entered the space.
