Chapter 2033: Possession? Legacy?

"Let me give it a try..."

Someone couldn't resist and flew toward that heavenly coffin.

Big Mouth Fish and the others didn't stop him.

After flying over, that fellow didn't say another word, directly extracting a strand of essence blood from his own body and tossing it onto the coffin.

He felt the coffin was a blood-refined object, so it should be refinable through blood.

But the coffin still had no reaction whatsoever.

Someone sneered, "Others have been here for half an incense stick's time; do you think they haven't tried the blood-refining method?"

Yeah...

He Pingsheng agreed wholeheartedly with those words in his heart.

Big Mouth Fish and them had been here for half an incense stick's time, yet hadn't taken the coffin; they must have tried every usable method.

That guy who tried to refine the coffin with blood instantly turned beet red.

Right at this moment, a surge of law suddenly emanated from atop the coffin.

The coffin floating upright in the void abruptly rotated, turning horizontal before the crowd.

Then with a creak, the coffin lid opened.

No earth-shattering commotion, no crazy dao-law storm.

It simply, plainly opened.

Yet just this plain, simple opening scared everyone into retreating one after another at the sudden movement.

When everyone's gazes returned to the coffin, they discovered it was empty inside.

Nothing at all.

Phew...

Many people let out a breath of relief.

But the next moment, wisps of mist gathered, coalescing into a handsome young man.

The man's gaze swept across them; countless hearts turned cold.

Someone said, "A soul!"

Someone shrieked, "This is Heavenly Coffin Daoist's remnant soul!"

Some just shrieked without speaking.

Naturally, most of these shrieks were female voices; they'd been frightened out of their wits by this sudden eeriness.

"Correct!" The man condensed from the remnant soul glanced at the crowd and said, "This seat is Heavenly Coffin Daoist, merely a remnant soul!"

"Holy shit..." Gao Ming trembled slightly, retreating behind He Pingsheng and muttering softly, "This isn't going to possess us, is it?"

"Possession?" Seemingly hearing Gao Ming's voice, the remnant soul smiled faintly, a face of utter disdain, and said, "What manner of person is this Heavenly Coffin Daoist? Would I wait you billions upon billions of years just to possess?"

"If it were possession, I'd have possessed who knows how many heavenly talents back then!"

At these words, everyone let out a breath of relief.

Heavenly Coffin Daoist's gaze swept over the crowd again, a faint smile on his face, saying, "Good, good... Today's Divine Realm also produces heroes in droves!"

"I fear the Divine Realm's most supreme geniuses have all come into this old man's tomb, haven't they?"

"Good, good..."

"This old man's legacy can finally continue!"

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly landed on He Pingsheng, then his hand moved; the open heavenly coffin snapped shut with a clack, then shrank to palm-size and floated right before He Pingsheng.

"Young man..." Heavenly Coffin Daoist's remnant soul looked at He Pingsheng and said, "This old man's entire legacy is recorded on the heavenly coffin; now I pass it to you — do you want it?"

Swish...

Countless gazes turned toward He Pingsheng.

Many people harbored doubts: Why him?

He Pingsheng gave a bitter smile and said, "This junior also wants it, but if this junior takes it, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it..."

"So, this junior will decline!"

If it were each by their own fortune, He Pingsheng could still secretly take it and flee.

But now it's different!

Now everyone's staring at me!

I get the coffin, then everyone bombards me together — what do I do?

When countless people bombard together, all kinds of laws intertwine; at that time Void Swift Movement definitely won't work.

I do have three life-saving trump cards: demon blood prevents sneak attacks, Life-Death Dao Tablet allows perfect rebirth, Teleportation Divine Talisman can also teleport away.

But the problem is, I can't activate this Teleportation Divine Talisman.

Demon blood can block one strike, but here there are a hundred strikes, a thousand strikes.

What to do?

Life-Death Dao Tablet indeed lets me perfectly resurrect, but perfect resurrection means all your items come with you upon rebirth.

But I haven't refined the heavenly coffin, so it doesn't belong to me yet; I'd bring away jack shit.

By the time I perfectly resurrect, the heavenly coffin would still be left in this abyss; wouldn't I have busied myself for nothing?

"Good... good... good..." The remnant soul stared at He Pingsheng, nodding, and said, "With great profit placed before you, you still maintain this disposition; your future achievements are boundless!"

"Never mind, you're right; even if I gave it to you, you couldn't hold onto it!"

"Then this old man will just pick someone who can hold onto it?"

The remnant soul turned its head, looking at Yu Yingxian: "Old friend, I'll give it to you..."

"You should be able to hold onto it, right?"

Fish Yingxian sneered: "You talk too much, hand it over!"

"Ah..." The remnant soul waved his hand, throwing the heavenly coffin in front of He Pingsheng back to Fish Yingxian.

Then, the remnant soul vanished directly!

But before he disappeared, he sent a message to He Pingsheng: "Do not be frightened, there will be another opportunity later!"

While He Pingsheng was still pondering what "there will be another opportunity later" meant, hundreds of streams of light came crashing down on Fish Yingxian's head.

Damn...

Hiss hiss hiss...

He Pingsheng's scalp went numb!

Here it comes...

What are we going to do now, Big-Mouth Fish?

As it turned out, this guy just gave a cold smile, and his body shot out!

At some point, a crimson divine spear appeared in his hand, and with a puff, he slew a cultivator.

And those attacks did not land on him.

Puff puff puff...

In a single breath, he slew over a dozen people!

Big-Mouth Fish stopped, wiped the corner of his mouth: "Let me see who else wants to die, come on and keep fighting me..."

The entire abyss was instantly filled with an unusual tranquility.

Some were shocked, some frightened, some fled with their heads in their arms, but without exception, no one dared to lay a hand on Big-Mouth Fish anymore.

Boom boom boom...

At this moment, the cave mouth above the abyss, covered by a formation, suddenly opened.

The formation above was also pulled away, revealing a gray sky at the cave mouth.

The vital energy between heaven and earth also cleared for a moment.

Fish Yingxian said: "Old man, I'm leaving!"

Whoosh...

He was the first to dart out of the abyss.

The bright lights in the abyss also went out one by one.

Countless people flew out from the abyss.

He Pingsheng, however, did not rush.

Not because of the remnant soul's words just now, but because he faintly felt that something deep underground in this abyss was still throbbing.

That throbbing resonated mysteriously with the Hongmeng purple qi within his body, each inhalation and exhalation seeming to fall into a rhythm.

So he did not leave.

Not only He Pingsheng stayed behind, but also Gu Changsheng.

Another was a woman in blue Daoist robes, beautiful in appearance, and a white-faced youth in dark brown Daoist robes!

Four people in total!

He Pingsheng's pupils narrowed slightly: This Gu Changsheng is a Hongmeng Dao Body, so he also felt this underground response?

Then this woman and this white-faced youth... could they also be Hongmeng Dao Bodies?

In He Pingsheng's understanding, the Hongmeng Dao Body, a special physique cultivated postnatally, cannot be considered rare.

Basically speaking, in those great clans and sects, as long as Hongmeng purple qi remains, they can cultivate a Hongmeng Dao Body.
