Chapter 1395: Opening the Coffin to See the Person

What the hell?

I am a dignified cultivator; why would I need special abilities?

Xu Que's first reaction was a face full of question marks; he almost wanted to ask the System if it was mentally retarded!

But the next moment, he suddenly reacted: special abilities?

X-ray vision?

Mind reading?

Holy crap, these are things I could use!

"Okay, hurry up and recycle it, give me a special ability, I want X-ray vision!" Xu Que immediately shouted excitedly at the System.

Although a cultivator can use their divine sense to perceive everything, even seeing the Immortal Yuan flowing through the meridians inside an enemy's body.

However, that is a capability even more "X-ray" than an X-ray; it simply doesn't have the blood-pumping thrill of X-ray vision.

People originally just want to see what someone looks like without clothes, but divine sense immediately sees bones and meridians; the two are simply not the same thing at all!

"Ding! Successfully recycled one mutated burial shroud, obtained 1,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence, and one special ability!"

The System prompt rang out, and at the same time, an introduction to that special ability popped up on the interface.

【Special Ability—Clothes Reading Technique】: A capability decomposed from the mutated burial shroud. As long as the host wears any clothing, they can communicate with that clothing and obtain the secrets of its owner (Note: The more intimate the clothing, the more secrets you will know)!

"What???"

After Xu Que finished reading the introduction to this special ability, he stood there instantly stunned, completely confused.

Clothes Reading Technique?

And I have to wear the other person's clothes to communicate with them?

Damn, this special ability is insane. Wearing someone else's clothes and having to talk to them, and I have to choose intimate clothing—do I not have any dignity?

"System, are you messing with me? What the hell is the use of this crappy ability? If I want to know someone's secrets, I can just use torture, or at worst, forcibly extract their soul; how is that not better than this ability!" Xu Que immediately summoned the System to settle the score.

Consuming a broken burial shroud only to get such a useless, crappy ability—he felt like he had lost out.

"Ding! Any item, once recycled, cannot be returned!" the System responded indifferently.

Xu Que's mouth twitched, and he shook his head.

Forget it, the System acting like this isn't a one-day occurrence!

Besides, that broken burial shroud wasn't of any use anyway; exchanging it for an equally useless ability didn't really have any impact.

However, speaking of secrets...

Xu Que swept his gaze toward Er Gouzi. Having known Er Gouzi for so many years, this guy's background and origin had always been mysterious. Even though it had said countless times that it was a descendant of an ancient demonic dragon, it had never been verified to this day.

The key is that this guy would suddenly have its past-life memories restored many times. If he could get its intimate clothing, he might actually be able to obtain some real secrets.

But the problem is, where would this idiot get intimate clothing?

Xu Que looked at Er Gouzi's bare butt and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Damn, kid, why are you looking at this deity's lower body?" Er Gouzi suddenly became vigilant.

"Nothing, next time if you have any fur falling out, remember to collect it; I can make you a piece of Immortal Artifact armor." Xu Que replied indifferently.

Although Er Gouzi didn't have any intimate clothing, the dog fur on its body could be used to make clothes. He would find an opportunity later to shave Er Gouzi's fur, make a piece of clothing to wear, and who knows, he might really be able to obtain many unspeakable secrets.

"Really? This deity's fur can also be made into an Immortal Artifact? As expected, this deity is a treasure from head to toe. But right now, what this deity wants to know most is, what kind of crappy place is this?"

After Er Gouzi acted cocky, it started to dislike this place again.

The entire cave wasn't very spacious. Apart from the small entrance area where they were, there was the sacrificial altar deep in the cave filled with coffins!

The key was that the people lying in those coffins were all Immortal King and Immortal Venerable stage experts, making Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude not dare to make a move rashly for a moment.

"There is honor among thieves; we won't touch these coffins!" Duan Jiude saw Xu Que's gaze lingering on those coffins and immediately spoke up.

This wasn't about honor among thieves; it was really just feeling that they couldn't afford to provoke those Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables.

"I didn't say I was going to touch them, why are you so nervous? You two set up a few Trapping and Killing Arrays here first; I'll go in and take a look myself, I'll be out in a moment!"

Xu Que waved his hand and headed straight toward the sacrificial altar.

No matter what, he had to wake up an Immortal King today before leaving, otherwise those tempting rewards given by the System would really fall through.

"Whoosh!"

With a sound of breaking through the air, Xu Que landed lightly on the sacrificial altar, standing in the middle of the coffins!

His arrival didn't cause any movement. All the coffins were as quiet as before, and the surroundings were silent; only Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were standing outside watching him.

"Heh, wake one up first, get the reward, and run!"

Xu Que's mouth curled slightly, his eyes locked onto a coffin beside him!

From the sensing of his divine sense, it wasn't hard to judge that the person in this coffin was an Immortal King. The other party was in a state of fake-death slumber, almost cutting off their breath, but their cultivation realm hadn't weakened in the slightest.

"Bang!"

Xu Que didn't hesitate, immediately forming hand seals, piercing through the restriction outside the coffin, and instantly shattering the jade-made coffin.

A coffin cast from bronze was also revealed from within the jade coffin.

However, this bit of movement still didn't cause any experts to awaken, and even the bronze coffin that Xu Que had knocked out was very calm.

"Holy crap, I have a bad feeling. Could it be that waking up the person inside is the hardest part?" Xu Que frowned and hurriedly summoned the System to ask.

The System responded confidently: "Ding! Host, rest assured, the difficulty of waking the target is not high. The moment the coffin is opened, the target will definitely awaken!"

"Fine, although I'm not sure what kind of trouble you, this profiteering System, want to cause, I'm determined to get this reward!" Xu Que smiled indifferently, condensed Immortal Yuan in his palm again, and slapped it toward the bronze coffin.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the bronze coffin shook violently, and then the entire coffin lid flew up.

Sure enough, the System didn't lie this time; the difficulty of waking the target was really not high!

Xu Que's effortless palm strike directly opened the bronze coffin.

At the same time, he also saw the person lying in the bronze coffin: a flawless white long dress, wearing a feather crown that looked like it was condensed from cold ice, sparkling and brilliant.

It was actually a woman!

More importantly, the contours of this woman's facial features were vaguely familiar, as if he had seen them before!

"Damn, Xuan Yuan Wanrong? No, this isn't her..." Xu Que was startled at first, but quickly reacted.

Although the woman lying in this bronze coffin looked a bit like Xuan Yuan Wanrong, the overall feeling, including her face, still had some gaps compared to Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

If he wasn't mistaken, this woman should be a descendant related by blood to Xuan Yuan Wanrong!

"Still not right, Xuan Yuan Wanrong seemed to have said that she had always been alone, so who could this woman in the coffin be?"

Xu Que's expression tightened slightly, and he fell into deep thought!
