In truth, when Xia Pingan summoned the assassin for the first time, Xia Pingan had also summoned the Boy Fortune God. He had the Boy Fortune God search this strange space to see if there was any way to leave.
As Xia Pingan searched for the Realm Pearl, he also maintained a high degree of vigilance towards this strange environment.
The Boy Fortune God was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. But this time, the Boy Fortune God was extremely cautious in this place, not daring to approach the God Eroding Miasma at all. This made Xia Pingan know that the God Eroding Miasma could threaten the Boy Fortune God.
There was indeed no exit here, nor was there a passage to the chaotic flow of space. As the Boy Fortune God flew closer, he discovered that the stars in the sky were not stars at all. Instead, they were balls of pale white ghostly fire. These ghostly fire flickered, and within these ghostly fire, there were illusions of twisted faces that corresponded to the floating corpses. It was like souls that could not be purified were trapped here.
And behind these ghostly fire was an invisible and dark wall. Even the Boy Fortune God could not pass through it.
In the blink of an eye, the Boy Fortune God arrived in front of the mountain-like coffin. He flew around the coffin, but he was also unable to find the entrance.
The woman saw Xia Pingan move his hand and take out the soul calming banner. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm calming the souls …" Xia Pingan was busy with the corpses. He sighed and waved the soul calming banner. He began to chant, "The heart of the heavens is benevolent, the body melts with metal. Mixed together, repeatedly rising and falling. Also has the nature of the ancestor, deep and serene fortune. Obtain wood to extract gold, gold to remove wood, no longer invade. Transform into a wandering soul, deep in one's heart. Obscure time, difficult to find traces. Appear from nothingness, penetrate past and present. Calm the soul from the soul, the soul from the soul, the god from the ghost, the kingdom of heaven … "
Following the wave of the Soul Pacifying Banner, rays of light shot out from the banner and shone directly on the floating corpses. The pale white ghost fire that filled the sky was like eyes that had closed in peace. It gradually extinguished and closed, turning into specks of golden light that melted into the darkness of the horizon.
When Xia Pingan finished his soul calming ritual, the 'stars' in the sky had all disappeared. In this strange space, besides the floating corpses and the mountain-like coffin, there was nothing else.
"I didn't know that you would care about the people who died here." The woman seemed to know Xia Pingan for the first time.
Xia Pingan spread out his hands, "I was forced to be an evil person …"
"Hmph, don't be so sarcastic. Who told you to come out from the secret realm of the Sky Motion Sect …" Shu Longxi snorted, seeming to be a little interested in Xia Pingan. "Let's get to know each other. I'm Shu Longxi. What's your name?"
"My surname is Mei. You can call me Mei Zheng …" Xia Pingan said as he flew towards the huge coffin. "It seems that there really is no other way out. We can only see how to enter the coffin!"
Shu Longxi nodded and followed Xia Pingan towards the mountain-like huge coffin.
After a short while, the two of them arrived above the huge coffin. Looking down from above, the top of the huge coffin was simply like a smooth and flat land. It was too big. Moreover, every part of the coffin was completely integrated. There was not a single gap to be found.
Flying above the coffin, Xia Pingan felt like a mosquito flying on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
The two of them flew around the coffin for a while, but couldn't find a way to enter it. Xia Pingan directly landed on the top of the coffin.
"Bang … Bang …" Xia Pingan stepped on the coffin under his feet. The coffin only made two soft sounds. The sound didn't spread far and could only be heard under his feet. The texture of the coffin was neither gold nor wood. It was dull and heavy, and had the temperament of the earth.
"Get out of the way …" Xia Pingan's face turned serious. He took out the Seven Stars Swordwhip and turned it into a huge sword. Holding the sword with both hands, he fiercely chopped towards the coffin under his feet.
"Boom …" A ball of black light exploded where the huge sword chopped down. Xia Pingan only felt his wrist tremble. A huge force that was almost the same as the force he used to chop the coffin was transmitted from the sword. It directly shook his entire body and sent him flying dozens of meters high. His shoulders were somewhat numb.
Xia Pingan landed and looked at the place where the huge sword chopped down. There wasn't even a shallow mark on the huge coffin. It was still smooth and heavy.
"Damn!"
Xia Pingan sucked in a breath of cold air. He had used a top-grade soul weapon just now, and his strength wasn't weak. That sword just now could cut through gold and iron like tofu. Even if the alloy in front of him was the size of a house, Xia Pingan was confident that he could cut through it. But that attack didn't even leave a hair-sized mark.
This almost meant that all physical attacks were ineffective against this coffin that might contain the corpse of a god.
If metal couldn't subdue wood, then he would try fire …
With a thought, Xia Pingan summoned the Heaven Burning Vermilion Bird.
The moment the Heaven Burning Vermilion Bird was summoned, it let out a clear cry. The temperature of the entire space seemed to rise. In a flash of light, the Heaven Burning Vermilion Bird spread its wings and swooped down from the sky like a flaming meteor. It heavily slammed into the place where Xia Pingan's huge sword had chopped down, releasing the highest temperature possible. Under the raging flames, the surrounding air twisted. This temperature was enough to melt gold and iron.
A moment later, the Heaven Burning Vermilion Bird turned into a rain of fire and dissipated. Xia Pingan returned to the place where the Heaven Burning Vermilion Bird had landed. The color and shape of that place hadn't changed at all. It was still smooth, black, and heavy. Xia Pingan touched it with his hand. Even the temperature was the same as before.
"If the Primal Chaos Heavenly Star of the God Realm could be destroyed so easily, then we probably wouldn't be able to see this coffin now. Those corpses must have tried all sorts of methods to open this place when they were alive, but none of them succeeded. Among those corpses, there was no lack of summoners and insectoids above the Ethereal Opening Realm …" Shu Longxi had been watching from the side. Only now did she take the initiative to speak.
"Where is the God Realm?" Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat and he asked directly.
"This is the secret of the various large sects and families. You want to get information from me? Don't take me for a fool!" Shu Longxi said vigilantly.
"Alright, you're not a fool. You're very smart, very smart …"
Shu Longxi felt that Xia Pingan didn't seem to be praising her, but she couldn't find fault with his words. She could only glare at him fiercely. "You can go elsewhere and ask about the God Realm. Let's see who will tell you!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!" Xia Pingan smacked his lips and looked around. "Didn't you say there were corpse bugs? It doesn't seem like there are. Could those corpse bugs be dead?"
"The God Eroding Miasma is still active, which means those corpse bugs aren't dead yet. There must be corpse bugs here …" Shu Longxi's beautiful brows furrowed as she looked around. "Unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless it's not time for the corpse bugs to appear yet …"
"When will the corpse bugs appear?"
"I don't know. I've read the notes of the elders in my family. The appearance of corpse bugs has a pattern. Most corpse bugs will appear at night!"
"There's no difference between day and night here!"
"But the secret realm here corresponds to the outside world. If we can't find a way to leave before the corpse bugs appear, I'm afraid the two of us will become the same as those corpses. You've really screwed me over this time …" Shu Longxi bitterly smiled.
"I don't want to die here. Let's look around. There must be a way to leave this place …" Xia Pingan said. He pulled himself together and flew up. He searched around the mountain-like giant coffin. He knocked here and touched there as if he was an archeologist. Child of Fortune wasn't idle either. He also scurried around this space, looking for a way to leave this place.
Shu Longxi wasn't idle either. With a wave of her hand, she summoned thousands of colorful butterflies. Those colorful butterflies spread out like clouds and flew around this space and the giant coffin, looking for a chance to leave this place.
… …
For the next seven or eight hours, Xia Pingan used all kinds of methods but still couldn't find a way to leave this place. As time went by, Xia Pingan also found that the faintly discernible red fog around the corpses began to gather.
As the red fog began to gather, Child of Fortune felt afraid for the first time. He ran to Xia Pingan's side and went into the secret mandala, unwilling to come out.
Shu Longxi also nervously looked at the changes in the fog.
"Let me try this …" Xia Pingan held on to the slightest hope. He cut his wrist and sprinkled his blood on the coffin. He sprinkled his blood on the giant "Pian" word on the coffin.
Unfortunately, the coffin didn't change at all.
… …
The red mist kept shrinking. Suddenly, the red mist shook, and a two-meter-long red insect drilled out of the red mist. Half of its body stood up, and it was rotating, as if it was investigating the surrounding situation …
It wasn't just one, but more and more insects drilled out from the void behind the red fog.
Densely packed!
"Corpse … Insects …" Shu Longxi's voice was trembling and there was a trace of sobbing. "You big bad guy, I'm really going to die because of you this time …"
Looking at those things, Xia Pingan's scalp went numb. Because those corpse insects looked like maggots that had been magnified many times! Red maggots! Those corpse insects didn't have heads, eyes, nose, or ears. Their bodies also looked soft. They wriggled and floated in the void, crawling towards him and Shu Longxi.
Without waiting for those corpse insects to crawl over, Xia Pingan made his move. He waved his hand and the Burning Sky Vermillion Bird was summoned once again. It spread its wings like a meteor and flew towards those corpse insects.
In just an instant, more than ten corpse insects were burned to ashes by the Burning Sky Vermillion Bird's flames.
This … didn't seem difficult to deal with …
Xia Pingan was stunned for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, Xia Pingan's pupils fiercely shrank …
Those ashes that were burned to ashes by the Burning Sky Vermillion Bird once again gathered in the air and turned into a cocoon. In the blink of an eye, the cocoon broke and corpse insects crawled out, unharmed …
