Lin Feng was standing in front of the coffin again. His mood was much different than before. Before, he was standing in front of the coffin because he wanted to see what was happening outside. However, this time, Lin Feng was standing in front of the coffin because he wanted to open it and see what was inside.
"Don't hesitate, open it." There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in Old Man Zu Ti's tone as he spoke.
Lin Feng nodded and put his left hand on the coffin. It was the second ancestor's blood-red coffin. Lin Feng used a little bit of strength and the sound of metal rubbing against stone spread in the air. The lid of the coffin slightly moved.
Lin Feng increased the strength of his hands. In a flash, the lid of the coffin was pushed open. In the blink of an eye, all the stone slabs that were tied to the coffin fell down and broke into pieces on the ground.
After the coffin was opened, an exquisite bronze coffin was revealed. There were jade dragon inscriptions carved on the coffin. It was sparkling with a golden light. Of course, it was gigantic. It was six or seven meters long and ten meters tall. Lin Feng could see the coffin in front of him.
Lin Feng was clenching Zu Ti's sword. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately react. No matter what it was, he had to kill it. That was Lin Feng's decision.
Lin Feng stretched out Zu Ti's sword and slowly moved closer to the coffin. Finally, he put the tip of the sword on top of the coffin and abruptly used his strength. The coffin, which weighed a few thousand kilograms, fell to the ground with a rumbling sound. Dust rose in the air as the coffin fell.
Lin Feng jumped into the air above the coffin and looked inside. His facial expression drastically changed. He was astonished.
Old Man Zu Ti saw the situation inside the coffin from the Zu Ti Sword and was shocked. The coffin was wrapped in a dark red flame. The flame burned slowly, roasting the inside of the coffin until it was bright red. If someone were to put it in their hands, they would immediately be charred.
Of course, the temperature inside the coffin didn't affect the temperature outside. The outside of the coffin was warm, it didn't have any heat. After opening the coffin, one couldn't feel the heat inside.
But in fact, inside the coffin was a huge entrance to the Sea of Fire. The flames were rising but not higher than the coffin. Therefore, people outside couldn't see what was inside.
Lin Feng was astonished. Inside the coffin wasn't the second ancestor's corpse, it wasn't a secret passage, it was a passage to the Sea of Fire?
Moreover, this should be the first passageway that had appeared so far. The other passageways that led to the Earth-Piercing Sea of Fire all had balconies, but this passageway did not.
Lin Feng was astonished. Zu Ti was also astonished. Then, he moved his sword towards the coffin, which was even bigger than the one in the Great Ancestor's coffin. he swung his sword and cut the coffin in half, revealing the golden coffin inside.
He looked down and saw that the walls of the coffin had been pushed open, revealing the situation inside. Just as he had guessed, it was still a passageway that led to a sea of fire. Vigorous flames were burning inside, but he could not feel any heat from the outside. However, the temperature inside the coffin was tens of thousands of degrees.
Lin Feng landed on the ground and waved his left hand. Zu Ti's sword flew back into his hand. Lin Feng was surprised. There were two coffins, the first ancestor's and the second ancestor's coffins, how could they be passages to the Sea of Fire?
What was hidden inside? What was the relationship between the Sea of Fire and the Tian Dao Garden? Why did the first ancestor's and the second ancestor's coffins lead to the Sea of Fire?
The Sea of Fire!
Lin Feng's heart was becoming more and more important. He couldn't forget about the Sea of Fire. According to what the scattered Zun cultivators had said, in the near future, there would be a crisis and the Sea of Fire was definitely one of those crises.
"It's hard to imagine that there's a Sea of Fire inside?"
Lin Ou emerged from the Space Ring, his face filled with shock. However, he was not the only one. Chen Cheng, Shangguan Liyue, and Shi Siming all emerged as well, unable to contain their shock and anxiety.
It was the ancestor's inheritance, it was the ancestor's coffin and tomb, how could it suddenly become a passage to the Sea of Fire? What secrets were hidden inside?
"Is the Sea of Fire going to erupt again?" Chen Cheng's expression was extremely gloomy, but there was a trace of paleness in his gloominess. Among the four of them, he was the only one who feared the Earth Penetrating Sea of Fire the most. No one else knew the power of the Earth Penetrating Sea of Fire, only he knew.
When Lin Feng heard Chen Cheng, he knew that he wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say.
"Master Chen Cheng, what do you mean?" asked Lin Feng. He didn't want Chen Cheng to be hesitant.
Chen Cheng looked at Lin Feng and then at the other three people. In the end, he said in a deep voice, "The Sea of Fire has erupted before."
"What do you mean?" Lin Feng looked at Chen Cheng in a strange way. He didn't know what Chen Cheng was talking about when he said he wanted to explode.
"It means that the Sea of Fire almost engulfed the entire Eternal Kingdom, but in the end, a mysterious group of people took care of it. Nobody knows where those mysterious people are now."
"Therefore, when I saw the passageway leading to the Sea of Fire, I thought of that scene in the past. It was a terrifying scene. Countless people screamed miserably, hoping that someone would save them from the sea of fire. But at that time, no one could protect themselves, so who was willing to save them?"
"That was 400,000 years ago. Eight hundred million people and godly spirits were burned to death. Many strong cultivators were either injured or killed."
"I was in charge of the Heavenly Dao Court, and a few elders died back then. They were all very strong. If they were still alive today, they would have broken through to the Godly Emperor Realm and become the Highest Elder."
Chen Cheng explained everything in detail. When Lin Feng heard it, apart from being astonished, he didn't know anything else.
400,000 years ago, the Sea of Fire had erupted once. It had almost engulfed the entire Eternal Kingdom, but in the end, it hadn't been engulfed, which meant that there had been a way to stop it.
Chen Cheng didn't want to talk about that disgusting and bloody incident in the past. So many people had been burned to death.
But Lin Feng still looked at the passage in front of him. Back then, the Sea of Fire had erupted with terrifying energy, and it had even engulfed the entire continent. But these two passages were obviously at least 400,000 years old. They had existed even before the death of the Great Ancestor and the Second Ancestor.
It had probably been less than a million years since then. If there was already a sea of fire at that time, then what was it used for?
Lin Feng was confused and surprised. More and more questions were popping up in his head. He couldn't get rid of them. In the end, he decided not to think about them anymore.
No matter what the Sea of Fire was, at least humans had absolute power in the world. If they wanted to fight against the Sea of Fire, they had to work hard.
No matter how many families were drowned in the sea of fire, or how many people were refined, as long as one's own strength was strong enough, one would be able to survive.
Lin Feng picked up the lid of the coffin from the ground and put it back on top of the coffin. The temperature of the entire palace dropped even more.
At first, he thought it had something to do with the Great Ancestor's inheritance, but who would have thought that it was actually a passage to the Sea of Fire?
What did the Great Ancestor and the Second Ancestor want to do?
It couldn't be that the Great Ancestor and the Second Ancestor's bodies had fallen into the Sea of Fire, right? If that was the case, there was no need to look for them. The bodies of Godly Zun cultivators would be burnt to a crisp in the Sea of Fire, leaving only their bones behind. It would be difficult to see what they looked like.
Lin Feng didn't care about that anymore. This time, he didn't need to stay here anymore.
"Let's go!" Said Lin Feng in a deep voice. Then, he put away Zu Ti's sword. Zu Ti followed the sword back into his spatial ring.
This time, Lin Feng didn't sound like he was discussing. Instead, he sounded like he had made a decision.
The four of them could only nod. Apart from the ancient texts in the hall that hadn't been translated, there were no more secrets in the Great Ancestor's tomb.
They could only leave …
The front of the stone tablet was already filled with people. Dao Cheng Zi, Dao Fu Zi, and even Dao Xuan Zi had rushed back from the Thunder Sect. Lin Feng had accepted the Great Ancestor's inheritance, which was a big deal. As the Supreme Elder, he couldn't be careless.
Ancestor Kong, Divinity Zi Dao, Dao Ling, and the other Protectors were also standing at the side, looking at the entrance of the stone tablet. They were nervous and excited. They wanted to know if Lin Feng would win or fail.
However, according to Ancestor Kong's experience, Lin Feng had probably passed the test and entered the Great Ancestor's tomb. It had already been twenty-four hours. If he failed, he would come out in ten hours at most.
They continued to wait for Lin Feng to appear.
