Ye Qiu didn't take the little rabbit's sycophantic flattery to heart, but he didn't stop the little rabbit from following him either.
A man and a rabbit descended the black staircase deep underground.
After about five minutes, Ye Qiu noticed that his field of vision had widened.
Ahead, an ancient altar appeared.
Around the altar stood four bronze statues of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.
In the very center, a bronze coffin lies horizontally.
Four black iron chains were fastened to the four corners of the ancient coffin, connecting it to the statues of the four divine beasts.
"Hiss, could the person buried in this bronze coffin be the one in the tomb?"
The little rabbit gasped.
It sensed that the altar was constantly emanating a strange power, as if it wanted to devour souls.
Even Ye Qiu felt the same way.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and was about to walk closer to take a look when a huge figure suddenly descended from the sky.
It was a huge white python, its entire body covered with white scales, with two horns faintly emerging from its head. Its aura was unfathomable and incredibly powerful.
"The white python that wants to transform into a dragon?"
Ye Qiu was puzzled and his expression became serious.
At the same time, Ye Qiu looked up at the sky and was immediately shocked at first glance.
Above them, a sea of black lightning stretched out.
The Thunder Sea transformed into a vortex, or a black hole, releasing an unparalleled aura of ruthless slaughter.
At that moment, Ye Qiu also realized that the truly terrifying thing was not the altar, but the vortex of thunder.
"Young master, please ascend the altar and speak with my master."
The white python spoke in human language.
Then, the white python glanced at the little wild rabbit behind Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu nodded and walked towards the altar.
But in that instant, the white python suddenly flashed and swallowed the little rabbit whole.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
The leaves changed color in autumn.
"It's just a little demon rabbit, not even enough to fill your stomach, don't worry about it, young master, please go up to the altar."
The white python remained completely calm.
Ye Qiu suddenly stopped, looking very uncomfortable, with a murderous glint in his eyes.
This white python is no good; it's making me go to the altar, so it probably won't be anything good.
“I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. If your master wants to speak to me, he can just say so, and I will not go up to the altar.”
Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Is it because I just swallowed a rabbit that you became wary of me and thought I had ill intentions?"
"Haha, if that's the case, then you're being far too cautious, young master. My master has taken a liking to your talent and wishes to offer you some guidance. If you wish to give up, you are welcome to leave now."
The white python laughed.
"Okay, goodbye."
Ye Qiu turned and left without hesitation.
He increasingly felt that this place was eerie, unlike the feeling he had of the Holy King's Palace.
Ye Qiu felt completely unsafe staying in this place.
Seeing that Ye Qiu was really going to leave, the massive white python immediately turned its head to look at the bronze coffin.
With a loud rumble, the bronze coffin lid flew off.
This commotion caught Ye Qiu's attention.
Ye Qiu turned around and saw a semi-transparent figure standing up from the coffin.
The figure was dressed in pure white, with long hair dancing wildly. Judging from his appearance, he was a young man of unparalleled elegance.
"Young man, my battle pet doesn't know the rules and is eating a rabbit in front of you. It's really unseemly. Please forgive me."
The stunningly beautiful figure spoke softly, her voice ethereal, as if it were ringing right before one's eyes, or as if it were coming from the heavens.
Moreover, this figure clearly has no physical body, but one can still feel a strong aura of transcendence, as if a celestial being has descended to earth, yet one feels no threat whatsoever, and is as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Your battle pet is indeed too cruel," Ye Qiu said without hesitation. "For a moment just now, I wanted to kill it."
Upon hearing this, the white python's pupils contracted, and just as it was about to retaliate, the figure in the coffin gently waved its hand, and a white light struck the white python.
puff.
The white python was chopped and coughed up blood, then fainted on the spot.
“Now that’s settled, I’ve given you a little punishment. Are you satisfied?” He stared at Ye Qiu.
"Why did you invite me down?"
“It’s very simple,” the figure in the coffin said. “You have extraordinary talent, while I am trapped in this tomb and need your help.”
How can I help you?
"You need to reach the Divine Seal Realm first, and I will help you improve your cultivation. Do you see the sea of lightning above? I can help you control the power of lightning," the figure in the coffin said solemnly.
"I don't really trust you," Ye Qiu said truthfully.
"You may not believe me, which is only natural, but once you see this, you should be able to believe me."
The figure in the coffin raised its hand, revealing an ancient book.
