Chapter 147: Enlightenment Ancient Coffin

Yang Zhu pressed down with his hand, imprinting the restriction into the stone fetus; the Dao patterns within began to intertwine with the holy spirit, seeping into its origin.

"If you turn to goodness, that's fine, but if you dare to bring calamity to the world in the future, this restriction can instantly annihilate you." Yang Zhu's gaze was piercing.

Regarding today's affair, please do not disclose it.

The Queen Mother of the West was very dignified; although she wore a smile, she possessed an indisputable dignity, and no one dared to slight this master of Jade Pool.

Understood.

Several Supreme Elders bowed, naturally understanding the meaning of these words.

"Yang Zhu and I share a life‑and‑death bond; naturally I wouldn't spout nonsense." The unscrupulous Daoist laughed brightly, then turned and muttered: "Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare..."

If Yang Zhu were to come carrying three imperial weapons, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to survive; if they were all truly revived, even the earth could be sunk.

As for the Big Black Dog and the Jade Pool Holy Maiden, they would not reveal even a hint.

The stone fetus can continue to be nourished; just pay attention to its instruction.

According to Jade Pool, this stone fetus will take five thousand years to emerge; by then Yang Zhu will already have become an emperor, and a mere holy spirit could not stir any waves.

After strolling around Jade Pool, Yang Zhu then departed with Yue'er and the others.

Next, their destination is one of the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones—Mount of Immortality!

While passing Purple Mountain, Yang Zhu found an excuse to slip away; since Purple Mountain was jointly opened by the holy lands, considerable time has passed, and it's time to return and have a look.

I wonder how that corpse is faring...

Purple Mountain still stands unchanged; merely after the previous turmoil, this demonic mountain has reappeared before the world, becoming another forbidden zone.

Nowadays people keep their distance from Purple Mountain, filled with awe, not daring to approach in the slightest.

Besides sealing terrifying primordial creatures, the most important thing is the legacy of the Wushi Great Emperor inside, even the Wushi Bell is suppressed here; who in the world would dare not to revere it?

Yang Zhu stood afar gazing at Purple Mountain when suddenly a sheet of black mist burst forth, darkly pressing over, a pair of icy eyes flickered within the mist, truly terrifying.

I said don't disturb us, long...

A cold‑looking figure fell like a heavenly thunderbolt, but when the presence in the black mist sensed Yang Zhu's aura, its cold voice hesitated.

Wrong, you are Wushi...

Its voice trembled, with an irrepressible fear; it was almost an instinctive act, turning and fleeing.

In the next instant, the Heavenly Blade swept across the sky, its radiant blade emanating divine light, the bright edge razor‑sharp; a single strike split it in half, exploding into gorgeous blood mist.

Troublesome.

Yang Zhu never gave him a proper look from start to finish; after tossing off a remark, he returned to the interior of Purple Mountain with practiced ease.

Imperial Son.

Upon reaching the vast hall, Gu Tianshu came to Yang Zhu's side and performed a respectful salute.

Any situation?

The Ancient Clan is awakening en masse; they could break out of the divine source at any moment.

Originally Gu Tianshu worried, fearing that if the Ancient Clan emerged humanity could not cope; but after learning of Yang Zhu's existence, he knew he could surely suppress the present age.

Indeed, after just a few months apart, Yang Zhu's cultivation has reached the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, able to contend with great powers; his speed of progress even startled Gu Tianshu.

Yang Zhu nodded, then stepped onto the grand Dao platform; chaotic mist engulfed the place, obscuring everything above. The chaotic qi parted, making a way for him to pass, and soon he reached the platform's center.

There lay a massive stone coffin, tens of zhang tall, surrounded by myriad crystal‑fine threads entwining it, firmly sealing it.

Yang Zhu took the Enlightenment Dao Tea Tree trunk and the Peach Ancient Tree trunk, spent considerable time shaping each into a palm‑sized coffin, simple yet majestic, naturally perfect.

On the coffin's surface were carved various ancient Dao patterns, layer upon layer, nine layers thick; afterward Yang Zhu engraved the entire Scripture of Salvation on the inner wall, capable of suppressing all evil.

From crafting the coffin to finishing the final stroke, Yang Zhu spent seven days, fully focused, daring not to be the slightest bit careless.

Boom!

Yang Zhu lifted the stone coffin with a palm, placing the Great Accomplished Holy Body's corpse into the Enlightenment Dao Tea Tree coffin, using the Wushi Forbidden Scripture to set up ninefold seals.

Thereafter it was sealed inside the Peach Ancient Tree outer coffin, fitting perfectly as a single entity, then another ninefold restriction was applied, completing the task.

Should be fine; from now on I'll call you the Enlightenment Ancient Coffin.

The inner and outer coffins are made of supreme divine materials, with ninefold Wushi restrictions and the Scripture of Salvation placed inside and out, able to suppress everything! Yang Zhu thought a moment, still uneasy, so he further suppressed the Enlightenment Ancient Coffin within the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, making it secure.

He brought out the Great Accomplished Holy Body's corpse for his own use and to study a bit, naturally keeping it close.

Leaving the platform, Yang Zhu saw Gu Tianshu sitting quietly on a nearby open space, standing guard.

I will go to Mount of Immortality for a while; during this time you can study this sword formation.

Before departing, Yang Zhu left the stone plate for him to study and master, perhaps it will be useful later.

Yes, Imperial Son, please be careful." Gu Tianshu received it carefully and bade farewell to Yang Zhu.

In a beautiful mountain valley a few hundred li from Purple Mountain, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden sat upon the Chaos Stone Platform, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, comprehending the natural Dao.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her bright pupils flickering; after tidying the platform she stepped into midair and silently gazed in a direction.

Yue'er, where are Xiaohei and the others?" Yang Zhu asked from afar.

These two rascals, whenever they have time, go looting relics and ancient tombs, not even sparing others' ancestral graves.

They went to Stone Fort, saying Ye Fan is also there, letting you have time to make a trip, as if there's an urgent matter.

Yue'er's voice was soft; aside from Yang Zhu, she had no interest in other matters.

I hope they haven't caused trouble again...

Yang Zhu pondered a moment, deduced the approximate whereabouts of the Big Black Dog, and the two instantly vanished from the spot.

According to his deduction, the Big Black Dog and company have already drifted thousands of li from Stone Fort, continually heading west at a steady pace, seemingly fleeing.

In the mountain ranges thousands of li away, Ye Fan, Li Heishui and others are constantly speeding along, while the Big Black Dog carries a named little girl, following the troop.

Damn, why don't we find a good spot, This Emperor will lay down a Great Emperor Killing Formation and wipe them all out.

The Big Black Dog cursed; originally just strolling around with Duan De, he happened upon Ye Fan and company, and before they could exchange pleasantries, he was told they were being hunted.

Woof? Why didn't you say you were targeted earlier? It dragged This Emperor into trouble as well—indeed, you lot aren't anything good.

Now it's fine, the big black dog can only be forced to join the team, constantly fleeing, he was so angry he cursed all the way, never stopping.

It's not that they lack strength, but those hunting them have quite a background, belonging to an extremely ancient power—the Assassin God Dynasty! (End of chapter)
