Even before you step inside, you can feel a powerful pressure coming towards you, making you feel an urge to bow down and worship.
Zu An gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to kneel down. What a joke! As a transmigrator with a strong backbone, he would never kneel to heaven or earth, let alone such a broken sword.
At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world. With my keyboard, there is heaven. There are three million keyboard immortals under heaven, and they must all bow before me. I am the keyboard emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world. Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to say they are undefeated? Come forth, keyboard!
Zuan silently repeated these words to himself to encourage himself. Whether it was psychological or not, he found that the pressure on him was getting lighter and lighter, until it could be completely ignored.
"Huh? You were actually able to withstand the pressure of the Tai'a sword?" Mi Li's surprised voice came from beside him.
"Tai'a Sword?" Zu'an was taken aback. Why did this name sound so familiar? It seemed to be one of the ten most famous swords in history.
“Indeed, the Tai’a Sword is a sword of might, existing since the beginning of time. It is formless and traceless, but its sword energy has long existed between heaven and earth, waiting only for the right moment to condense. Only when the right time, the right place, and the right people are in harmony can this sword be made. Later, two master swordsmiths of our Chu Kingdom successfully forged this sword by chance. A certain Chu king once used this sword to destroy the army of Jin…” Mi Li’s voice was full of longing and reverence for her ancestors. “It’s just a pity that the Chu Kingdom was later destroyed by the Qin Kingdom, and this sword fell into the hands of Ying Zheng. In the end, it became something to suppress me. The world is so ironic.”
As Zu'an gazed at the sword in the air, he thought to himself that this sword was definitely different from the one in history. It didn't feel like a sword from the mortal world; it was more like a divine sword described in myths or novels.
He did not immediately draw his sword, but said, “Your Majesty, there is a question that has been bothering me. What if I release you, but you break your promise to save my wife, or even turn around and kill us? After all, with your cultivation level, we have no way to control you.”
“You have no choice. Zhang Han is already heading towards the altar. If you don’t rescue me, your wife will die soon,” Mi Li said coldly.
Zuan sneered, "That's right, I'm anxious to save my wife, but you're probably even more anxious than I am right now, aren't you? How long have you been sealed here? A thousand years? Two thousand years? Or tens of thousands of years? If you miss this opportunity, how long will it be before you can find someone to break this seal and save you again?"
Mi Li fell silent, clearly her emotions were not as calm as she had always appeared: "Indeed, this opportunity is indeed rare. So what do you want in return for your trust?"
Zu An was now in a dilemma. He didn't know what could be used to restrain the other party. Thinking of the plots in those novels from his previous life, he tentatively said, "How about we make a master-servant contract? You acknowledge me as your master, and naturally you can't hurt me in the future."
"Hahaha~" A burst of unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the stone chamber, followed by Mi Li's cold voice, "What do you think you are, daring to ask me to acknowledge you as my master? Even Ying Zheng couldn't make me submit back then, let alone a mere brat like you. You think you're worthy?"
Zu An's face darkened: "Don't hit someone in the face, it hurts their self-esteem. You asked me to come up with a solution, and now you're getting angry. So what do you suggest?"
Mi Li thought for a moment and replied, "How about this, you take a piece of paper and we'll make a contract, agreeing on our respective obligations and rights. You rescue me, and I'll help you rescue your wife, while also guaranteeing not to harm you. You should know the power of contracts in this world; even I cannot break them."
Zuan, realizing that this wasn't the first time he'd heard about oaths and contracts that couldn't be broken since coming to this world, nodded and said, "Okay! But where am I going to find paper now?"
"Fool, do you really need paper? Can't you just use your clothes to write on? As for ink, you have plenty of wounds, just dab some blood on them." Mi Li sneered.
Zu An inwardly grumbled, "This old woman is truly capricious. If it weren't for your seniority, I would..."
Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what he could do to this guy who was far more powerful than himself.
After quickly writing the contract, Zuan suddenly frowned: "This only has my handprint, but not yours."
"Bring it here, I'll just put my fingerprint on it," Mi Li's voice came.
"Where are you?" Zuan looked around, but the woman's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint her location.
"You don't believe me when I say you're an idiot? Isn't the crystal coffin in front of you a perfect example?" Mi Li said in a tone of exasperation at her lack of ambition.
Zuan: "..."
I'm so angry at this old woman that I'm completely confused!
He walked dejectedly toward the crystal coffin, pondering to himself, "This woman has been suppressed here for at least several thousand years. How does she eat, drink, and relieve herself? No, she should have died long ago. She's probably a dried-up corpse by now."
I don't watch ghost stories or horror movies from my past life, so I hope the scene in the coffin later isn't too scary...
However, when he walked to the crystal coffin, he was stunned, because lying in the crystal coffin was not a frightening mummified corpse, but a woman, a woman who was much more beautiful than he had imagined.

The opening line of this chapter, "He really doesn't treat himself like an outsider," was provided by a member of the book club called "Emotional Control Champion Zu'an." I happened to see it while stalking the screen and decided to use it.
