Cave Master of Snow Lotus Cave
Zhuowen was extremely cautious as he slowly ventured deeper into the Serene Corpse Forbidden Ground. He was constantly paying attention to his surroundings.
Under Xiao Hei's guidance, Zhuowen passed through mountain after mountain, river after river, and forest after forest. After three days and three nights, he finally stopped at the top of a mountain.
There was a huge plateau in front of the mountain. The top of the plateau was covered in white snow as if it was covered in a layer of white gauze.
At the center of the plateau stood a huge and majestic palace. In front of the palace stood a towering stone tablet.
The surface of the stone tablet was densely engraved with words that Zhuowen could not understand. Furthermore, the words were not still. Instead, they were wriggling like tadpoles. It was an extremely strange sight.
With her previous experience, Zhuo Wenke didn't foolishly stare at the inscriptions on the stone tablet.
He knew that the words on the tablet contained an extremely powerful divine might. If he stared at them, he might be directly affected by the divine might.
Afterwards, Zhuowen looked at the four corners of the plateau. He saw that there were four huge tombs in the four directions of the central palace.
Although the tombs were not as majestic as the central palace, they were much more luxurious and majestic than most of the burial grounds that Zhuowen had visited.
Four huge statues stood in the four tombs. The four statues faced the central palace and knelt on one knee as if they were worshipping the master of the Divine Tomb.
The four tombs were the True Immortal Tombs, and the four statues were the tomb guards of the True Immortal Tombs.
Last time, Zhuowen had said something that he should not have. In the end, one of the tomb guards chased after him, causing Zhuowen to flee in panic. In the end, if it were not for the first Mountain God, Zhuowen would have been in deep trouble.
"Let's search around this plateau. As long as you don't say anything taboo, the Dao-soldiers guarding these four True Immortal tombs won't come out into the world. After all, every time they do, they will use up the energy stored within the True Immortal tombs," Blackie said.
Hearing this, Zhuo Wen nodded. Immediately, he leaped down from the mountain peak and slowly walked along the edge of the plateau.
There were various terrains on the edge of the plateau. There were mountains, plains, hills, forests, valleys, and so on. Zhuowen even saw a large desert.
There was a huge stone tablet in every terrain. Behind the stone tablet was a tomb. The owners of the tombs were no ordinary Saints.
Zhuowen carefully walked past them. He discovered that most of the owners of the tombs were Earth Immortals. Occasionally, there would be tombs of Heavenly Immortals as well. In other words, every tomb was extremely powerful to Zhuowen.
"Tombs of Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals?"
Zhuo Wen's expression was slightly unsightly. Even if such an existence was dead, that strand of pressure was probably not something that Zhuo Wen could contend against at the moment.
Moreover, with the personalities of the tomb owners, it was impossible for them not to set up powerful defensive measures or terrifying traps in their tombs. If Zhuowen accidentally stepped into one of these traps, he would probably be doomed with his current strength.
"Hmm?
That's … "
Zhuo Wen, who was originally walking on the road, suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze fell on the area in front of him, which was covered in ice and snow.
The region spanning several dozen kilometers was covered in ice and snow. Snowflakes drifted through the air, just like the scenery of the northern kingdom.
In this cold and snowy weather, there was a stone stele of ice and snow that was several hundred feet tall. Beside the stone stele stood a lifelike statue of a woman.
The woman was as cold as ice. Her snow white hair hung loosely on her shoulders. Her long skirt touched the ground. Her entire body was filled with a cold and elegant feeling.
"This statue should be the tomb owner's tomb guard. My initial estimation is that it probably possesses a trace of the Dao Might of an Earth Immortal. Moreover, I'm not unfamiliar with the tomb owner of this tomb."
Xiao Hei rubbed his chin and chuckled as he looked at the tomb that stood silently in the ice and snow from afar.
"Oh?
You know him? "Zhuowen asked in surprise.
"Yes, the tomb owner of this tomb is the tomb of the Cave Master of a rather powerful force called the Snow Lotus Cave in the Heavenly Armor Continent thirty thousand years ago."
"If I'm not wrong, this Cave Master ought to be the thirty-seventh Cave Master. He's also the one with the greatest talent and the strongest cultivation among all the previous Cave Masters of the Snow Lotus Cave. He's the only Earth Immortal Saint Stage expert among all the previous Cave Masters of the Snow Lotus Cave."
"However, the Cave Master of the Snow Lotus Cave offended an existence that he shouldn't have offended, so he was pursued all over the world. In the end, he suffered a heavy injury and was on the verge of death. The Snow Lotus Cave paid a great price to bury him in the Nethercorpse Extremity."
"The forces of the Snow Lotus Cave declined later on. In the end, it completely vanished in the river of time during the calamity ten thousand years ago."
Xiao Hei spoke tirelessly. He was extremely familiar with the tomb of the Snow Lotus Cave.
"Speaking of which, the coffin of the Snow Lotus Cave's Cave Master is more suitable for your little lover. However, it's slightly difficult for you to obtain the coffin of the Cave Master with your strength," Xiao Hei continued.
Zhuowen smiled bitterly. Most of the dead people buried in the outer area of the Divine Tomb were Earthly Immortals and Heavenly Immortals. These were terrifying existences that could summon the wind and summon the rain when they were alive. Even if they were dead, the trace of pressure that leaked out from them was not something that Zhuowen could endure.
"However, this Dragon Lord has a method that can temporarily lure the Cave Master of the Snow Lotus Cave away. At that time, you only need to obtain the coffin inside," Xiao Hei suddenly said.
"What method?" Zhuowen's eyes flickered with a bright light.
"Follow me to a place first. When we arrive, I'll tell you the specific method in detail."
Xiao Hei kept Zhuowen in suspense. Then, he jumped down from Zhuowen's shoulder and flew in another direction.
After a while, Xiao Hei arrived at a pitch-black swamp. The swamp was surrounded by a dense black forest.
Black bubbles kept rising from the surface of the swamp, which was filled with a dense Death Qi.
Looking at the swamp, Zhuowen was puzzled. He did not know why Xiao Hei brought him here. Could it be that there was something mysterious about this place?
Xiao Hei's small eyes revealed a dignified expression. He turned into a puff of black smoke and flew above the swamp. Then, he let out a shrill cry and dived into the depths of the swamp like a swimming fish.
Although Zhuowen had many doubts in his heart, he did not voice them out directly. Instead, he waited silently. He knew that Xiao Hei naturally had his reasons for doing so.
Moreover, Zhuowen faintly felt that Xiao Hei probably had his own motives for encouraging him to enter the Serene Corpse Extremis. Other than helping him find a suitable coffin for Mu Chenxue, he probably had his own motives.
As for what his motives were, it was likely related to the black swamp in front of him.
Zhuowen did not have to wait for long. Magnificent waves began to surge from the surface of the black swamp in front of him.
Pillars of water soared into the sky and sprinkled down from the sky, forming layers of black rain that fell on the ground.
Amidst the endless black rain, something seemed to be trying to break out from the depths of the swamp.
Zhuowen looked over and was stunned to see a giant coffin slowly emerging from the swamp.
This giant coffin was only the tip of the iceberg, but Zhuowen was deeply shocked by it. This coffin was simply too big.
Even the small part of it that was exposed above the water surface was like a small mountain. The impression it gave to Zhuowen was that it was enormous.
Whoosh!
Endless waves surged up from the swamp. As the giant coffin continued to rise, the surface of the swamp became even more turbulent.
When the giant coffin completely appeared in front of Zhuowen's eyes, Zhuowen's heart trembled. This giant coffin was simply too big. At a glance, there seemed to be no end to it.
Zhuowen estimated that this giant coffin was at least several dozen feet in size. It was like a giant mountain lying in the air.
On top of the giant coffin, Xiao Hei stretched out its little paw and gently stroked the patterns on the surface of the coffin. A complicated look appeared in its eyes, as if it was recalling something.
"How many years has it been? I didn't expect this ancient coffin to still be here!" Xiao Hei muttered to itself.
At this moment, Zhuowen began to carefully examine the giant coffin that was floating in front of him. The four sides of the giant coffin were clearly defined, and each side was fastened with chains.
On the surface of the giant coffin, there were various patterns engraved. However, upon closer inspection, these patterns were actually a giant dragon totem with its wings spread out. Moreover, this giant dragon totem was extremely similar to Xiao Hei's original body.
"Xiao Hei once said that its physical body was almost destroyed ten thousand years ago. Out of desperation, it buried itself in the Nether Corpse Forbidden Ground in hopes of prolonging its life. However, due to its severe injuries, Xiao Hei eventually gave up on its physical body and its soul left the Nether Corpse Forbidden Ground …"
At this point, Zhuowen's eyes shone with a sharp light. He had a vague idea of what this giant coffin was.
"Kid, you're right. This giant coffin is called the Abyss Dragon Coffin. When this Lord Dragon's aura was still present, this Lord Dragon wantonly plundered the resources of the Central Plains to create this giant coffin. This Lord Dragon's body is also buried in this giant coffin," Xiao Hei said with a look of reminiscence.
"Plundered?"
Zhuowen's eyes twitched. It seemed that Xiao Hei was a ruthless person back then. Even when it was injured, it still plundered the Central Plains without restraint. Moreover, it seemed that it was only natural for it to do so. The Abyss Dragon Holy Dragon was probably very powerful back then. Even if it plundered, no one dared to oppose it.
"It's already been several thousand years. I wonder what happened to this Lord Dragon's body?" Xiao Hei asked with a complicated gaze.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Zhuowen also rushed to the side of the giant coffin with a curious look. Then, he gently pushed the lid of the coffin with his right hand as if he wanted to open it.
"Kid, this Lord Dragon Coffin was personally sealed by this Lord Dragon. You won't be able to open it," Xiao Hei said with a frown.
However, just as Xiao Hei finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound. The seemingly airtight lid of the coffin actually slowly opened a crack.
"Eh …"
Black lines appeared on Xiao Hei's face when he saw this …
