"Marshal Tianpeng seems not to have heard what I just said."

Facing Jiang Chengye, the Queen Mother of the West's expression grew even colder. "The Heavenly Emperor has long since perished; how could he possibly descend?"

"Your Majesty is joking. If the Heavenly Realm does not perish, how can the Heavenly Emperor fall?"

Jiang Chengye said calmly.

"you……"

The Queen Mother of the West frowned at first, then seemed to realize something, and her expression changed. "So this is what you were planning!"

"You spent ten years of painstaking effort planning in the Heavenly Realm, even using the Heavenly Book as bait to lure us in. That's quite a scheme. But have you ever considered whether you really have the ability to control the situation?"

The Queen Mother of the West seemed to have completely figured something out, and coldly questioned him.

Everyone else present, except for Shen Qian and others who had already clarified part of the truth, looked bewildered upon hearing this, completely unable to understand what the Queen Mother of the West was saying.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to condescend, then I will do it in your stead."

Jiang Chengye, however, did not care about the Queen Mother of the West's attitude at all, and simply said indifferently.

"Please, Heavenly Emperor!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chengye let out a loud shout that shook the heavens.

"Please, Heavenly Emperor!"

"Please, Heavenly Emperor..."

As Jiang Chengye shouted, countless shouts also came from outside Yaochi Palace.

That soaring momentum came from the countless heavenly soldiers and generals surrounding the Jade Pool Palace, all shouting in unison.

Only then did the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Erlang Shen suddenly realize that Jiang Chengye could actually command all the heavenly soldiers, a discovery that made their expressions solemn.

But the next moment, they lost all interest in speculating.

Because suddenly, large clouds and mist drifted in from the horizon.

When the clouds and mist cleared, an incredibly vast procession appeared before everyone's eyes.

A celestial general, covered in seven-colored armor and with a cold expression, led the way, followed by sixteen golden-armored celestial generals, and then countless bronze-armored celestial soldiers.

On that day, the heavenly soldiers were arranged on both sides, and a huge creature with a body length of over 10,000 meters also revealed its magnificence.

Upon meeting again, Shen Qian was still awestruck by this ancient creature, a species only found in Chinese legends.

Its appearance alone represents the pinnacle of human aesthetic appreciation for monsters.

"roar!"

The dragon roared as it roamed above the Jade Pool Palace, its tail dragging a huge, seven-colored chariot that came to a stop in mid-air.

Everyone tensed up.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said that the Heavenly Emperor was not dead, but the Queen Mother of the West personally denied it. At this moment, Jiang Chengye directly brought out the Heavenly Emperor's ceremonial retinue that had once patrolled the Heavenly Realm.

Opinions varied, but now it seemed the moment of truth had finally arrived.

Whoosh!

Just then, the colorful curtain covering the carriage fluttered, captivating everyone's attention.

The Queen Mother of the West also suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on the carriage, as if trying to confirm something.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, the huge curtain covering the carriage was completely blown away by a gust of wind, revealing the scene inside the carriage.

"That is..."

"What the hell?"

When everyone saw what was inside the car, they were all astonished.

On the exceptionally wide carriage, there was no supreme figure as one might have imagined, but instead, an enormous stone coffin floated silently.

The stone coffin is about 100 meters long, and its surface is rough and unrefined, as if it has been corroded by the long years and has long lost its luster.

"Why is it a coffin?"

"Where is the Heavenly Emperor we were promised?"

"Or is it that the remains of the Heavenly Emperor are lying inside?"

In that instant, at least a hundred streams of spiritual energy extended from the Yaochi Palace, wanting to know what was inside the stone coffin.

Qu Bai and the others also tried, but after a moment they all looked at Shen Qian beside them.

After a few breaths, Shen Qian opened his eyes and shook his head to signal.

"Not even you?"

Qu Bai and the others, having returned empty-handed, placed their hopes on Shen Qian. But if even Shen Qian couldn't see through the stone coffin, then they had no way of knowing what was inside.

"Hahaha……"

Just then, a burst of wild laughter rang out. Everyone turned around in surprise, only to find that the person who laughed was Wang Shuo.

Are you all idiots?

Wang Shuo laughed wildly, "This stone coffin is clear evidence of the Heavenly Emperor's fall!"

"That dragon was raised by the Heavenly Emperor for many years and only ever obeyed his orders. The sixteen golden-armored heavenly generals and one of the Nine Luminaries Divine Generals were the Heavenly Emperor's personal guards, and no one could command them without the Heavenly Emperor's permission..."

"Since they are guarding this stone coffin, it can only mean that the stone coffin must contain the remains of the Heavenly Emperor or a cenotaph!"

"Assuming the Heavenly Emperor is still alive, how could an emperor possibly be confined to a coffin?"

Everyone was taken aback. They had to admit that what Wang Shuo said actually made a lot of sense.

"The Heavenly Emperor has long since disappeared and has never returned to the Heavenly Realm. This stone coffin is at most a cenotaph."

The Queen Mother of the West then spoke coldly, which corroborated Wang Shuo's statement.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"Whether it's real or fake, we'll know once we open the coffin."

Jiang Chengye's expression remained unchanged throughout, he simply said calmly.

"Open the coffin?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Tianlong is at the Golden Immortal realm, not to mention the Nine Luminaries Divine General who is always by his side. Since Marshal Tianpeng has this ability, he can give it a try."

The Queen Mother of the West mocked.

"According to the Heavenly Court's system, Heavenly Immortals are equivalent to kings and marquises, and Golden Immortals are even stronger than ordinary Heavenly Immortals, roughly equivalent to those who have been granted the title of Marquis among kings and marquises."

Qu Bai leaned closer to Chen Qian and whispered an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qian glanced at the divine dragon hovering and flying beside the stone coffin, his expression turning solemn.
