Shu Jianyue glanced at the red bottle, and after confirming that there were no problems, she and Chong Jiu left the space.
As soon as they left, the Crimson Divine Fire Pearl in the red bottle secretly peeked out a little, and after confirming that no one else was around, it flew directly towards the Cloud Tree and the Divine Care Vine.
At this moment, Shu Jianyue was unaware of this, as she wasn't constantly paying attention to the movements within the space.
There was hardly anyone inside, and Little Bean was in seclusion, so she naturally didn't need to pay attention to her.
Shu Jianyue and the other person left the space and returned to the main hall where the stone coffin was placed.
When Shu Jianyue saw that the stone coffin was broken, leaving only a jade coffin, she looked at Chong Jiu in surprise, "It can still be opened by brute force?"
“Why not? There’s no need to worry about the contents being damaged.” Chong Jiu said, glancing at the jade coffin before pulling her to the other side.
The passageway on the left is wider than the one on the right, and both sides are decorated with exquisite murals, as if recording someone's life.
After walking through a long corridor, the two entered a room even larger than the main hall.
In the center of the room was another stone coffin, which was smaller than the one outside, but the totem patterns on it were the same.
"Is there any connection between these?" Shu Jianyue asked.
Chong Jiu shook his head, "This should be the main one, and the one outside is the secondary one."
"You mean, the one outside is a burial object?" How come the burial object's stone coffin is bigger than the main coffin?
"It's more like a guardianship than a burial." Chong Jiu looked at the words on the walls on both sides. "This is Tao Ling's self-burial tomb."
Tao Ling is no good thing; just look at what's inside that jade coffin outside.
So rather than saying he buried himself, it's more accurate to say it was another means of survival.
Chong Jiu looked up and said, "The dragon that Yin Yue mentioned should be the divine beast guarding this ancient tomb, and the reason why the Spirit Beast Sect was built here was probably the idea of that dragon."
"We can verify this with Li Yuan once we get out."
Shu Jianyue also looked at the words on both sides. The words on them were very different from the words commonly used here, so she could only barely recognize a few.
"Let's go, there's nothing left to see." Chong Jiu glanced at the stone coffin one last time, then pulled Shu Jianyue away from the main hall.
If someone above the level of a deity falls, they generally die and their spirit dissipates. Although their physical body remains, their soul is completely destroyed.
The phrase "dissipated soul and spirit" refers to the soul and spirit. Unless he left a contingency plan before his death, he would dissipate into the world.
Having already enjoyed the benefits of living as long as heaven and earth, if someone were to want to be reborn with all their skills after their death, wouldn't that cause chaos in the world?
Therefore, these are the rules created by the universe, and the price to pay for avoiding these rules is naturally not small.
Just like Zhuzhao and Youying, if they hadn't made preparations in advance, their demise would have meant their disappearance from the world, and they would never have existed again.
He wondered what price they had paid, and Chong Jiu's eyes darkened as he thought of this.
Looking back again, it seemed that the stone coffin contained not Tao Ling's body, but a wisp of her soul. This was quite a contingency plan.
The reason they're bringing people down now is probably so that they can be reborn through another body.
"Huh!" Shu Jianyue exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the murals on both sides.
The portraits on both sides have changed; they are now completely different types of paintings from before.
Moreover, these words seemed to be guiding them to open the stone coffin, because the painting on it depicted a great treasure inside.
If someone is greedy, they might actually open it.
Chong Jiu glanced at it, then looked back at the stone coffin and said, "Let's go, it's just a little trick."
As soon as they stepped out of the passage, the jade coffin outside began to move, from a slight tremor to a violent one.
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu stood by and watched until the lid of the jade coffin flew toward them.
With a wave of his hand, Chong Jiu caused the jade coffin lid to turn to dust and fall to the ground.
Before the powder in the air had completely dissipated, a person flew out of the jade coffin and flew straight towards them.
Chong Jiu pulled Shu Jianyue aside, and the figure immediately flew out into the passage behind.
Shu Jianyue watched him fly in and never come out again; it was obvious that he was heading towards the stone coffin inside.
"Is that a person?" The figure does resemble one.
Although he flew fast, Shu Jianyue still caught a glimpse of him; that head looked quite strange.
Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "No, it's something that combines a spirit beast and a human."
Shu Jianyue frowned. A fusion of a spirit beast and a human?
Should we leave or...?
Chongjiu looked at the corridor and said, "We need to get rid of this thing, otherwise it will cause trouble for people once it gets out."
It's not just about harming people; if he were to personally go out to find a body for his master, there wouldn't be many in the entire land who could handle it.
Shu Jianyue looked inside. "He went in, could it be to open that stone coffin?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "No, they should have gone in to pay their respects." Opening the stone coffin before finding the body would be tantamount to severing Tao Ling's path to rebirth.
"Yueyue, go into the space later, otherwise I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."
Shu Jianyue didn't want to go in, but considering her current cultivation level, apart from having stronger mental power, she didn't seem to be able to help much, so she nodded.
"I'm going in now. Be careful, and let me know when you're done cleaning up."
"Okay, let's go in." Chong Jiu's eyes remained fixed on the door without ever looking away.
Shu Jianyue glanced at it as well and immediately entered the space.
