Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked softly, "What request?"
"Help me open this coffin. I want to see something inside," the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said calmly, surprising Xiao Chen.
The moment the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said that, Xiao Chen immediately raised his guard. Tear off the Immortal Sealing Talisman?
The two Immortal Venerates wanted to tear off this Immortal Sealing Talisman. Xiao Chen had put in a lot of effort to stop them. Now, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady actually wanted him to tear off the Immortal Sealing Talisman.
Xiao Chen felt flabbergasted. He said in a bad mood, "Heavenly Profound Holy Lady, are you playing with me? Do you know how much effort I put in to prevent the two Immortal Venerates from succeeding? To think that you are saying this now. "
If the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady wanted to see what was in the coffin, then she should not have asked him to stop the two Immortal Venerates. After the two Immortal Venerates tore off the Immortal Sealing Talisman, she could just watch from the side.
Why come up with such a clumsy excuse? There was no need!
"Do you think that a heartless person would have the heart to lie to you?" The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's expression remained calm, not showing any fluctuations, extremely calm.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned. This was like a wake-up call. This sentence was better than any explanation.
Nearly the instant the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said this, she managed to convince Xiao Chen. Not many people in the world could understand the sorrow in her words.
No matter how strong a heartless person was, it was a kind of sorrow.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Logically speaking, he absolutely could not agree to this request. However, along the way, no matter how Xiao Chen changed, his heart had never changed. There was always a naivety and sentimentality in the depths of his heart.
When it came to matters of time, if one always used reason to decide, being meticulous and cautious, how different would a person be from a machine?
This time, Xiao Chen was willing to believe the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. Even if he got cheated, he would not regret it.
The Immortal Sealing Talisman was not easy to tear off. However, with the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady explaining, all Xiao Chen needed to do was listen.
As they communicated, Xiao Chen discovered something very strange. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did not seem to understand the Immortal Sealing Talisman.
It was as if the Immortal Sealing Talisman was not personally made by her. She needed to think for a long time when explaining it.
"Weren't you the one who forged the Celestial Sealing Talisman?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady remained silent for a long time before saying, "No, I once had a Dao companion. He was the one who helped me seal it."
This stunned Xiao Chen for a moment. He had not expected such a ruthless person like the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady to have a Dao companion.
The pinnacle of the Martial Dao was to disperse all of one's cultivation base and turn into an Immortal Cultivator. In the end, one would become a heartless person.
It was hard to imagine that anyone would be willing to fall in love with such a woman.
"Where is he?"
"He should be … dead." The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady thought for a while before saying with some uncertainty, "When I scattered all my Martial Cultivation, he protected me. After he helped me seal the coffin, I do not know his situation."
Actually, it was a pointless question. No one could live from the Primordial Era until now. No one.
Of course, a ruthless person like the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady was definitely not one of them.
After about seven minutes, the two Immortal Sealing Talismans were removed. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen finally used some force and opened the coffin.
No mysterious phenomenon appeared, allowing Xiao Chen to release his bated breath. A corpse lay quietly in the coffin.
The corpse was well preserved, looking the same as when it was alive. It had not rotted or festered, and there was no strange smell.
The corpse looked no different from the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady beside Xiao Chen, just older. The corpse had a head full of white hair, and the crow's feet at the corners of its eyes were obvious. There were also some faint wrinkles on its forehead.
The corpse's eyes were closed, looking like a woman sleeping peacefully. She clutched a painting tightly in her hand.
When Xiao Chen saw the painting in the corpse's hand, his first instinct told him that this was the painting that the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady wanted to see.
The corpse had been dead for more than a million years, but she was still clutching it tightly. Clearly, this item was extremely important.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling curious about what kind of painting it was for it to have such charm.
"Is it this thing?"
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady nodded slightly and said, "Take it out. I just need to take a look."
Xiao Chen did as he was told. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the painting, carefully applying some force. In the end, he discovered that the corpse was clutching it somewhat tightly, so he could not help using more force.
Naturally, a dead person could not compete with Xiao Chen in strength. With just a little more force, the painting struggled free.
"Whoosh!"
However, just at this moment, something strange happened. The corpse's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. A cold light shot out from the corpse's eyes and encased Xiao Chen.
When the cold Qi entered Xiao Chen's body, it immediately froze. Even though the corpse had been dead for more than a million years, the absolute sharpness of this gaze still made one not dare to block it, making one's heart tremble.
After opening the coffin for so long, nothing had happened. It was hard not to let down one's guard. However, when the female corpse suddenly opened her eyes while Xiao Chen was holding the painting, she would have been frightened to death.
What was even more horrifying was yet to come. The instant the female corpse opened her eyes, she soared into the air and tried to grab Xiao Chen's neck with one hand.
An overwhelming killing Qi surged over. In his despair, Xiao Chen's intense desire to live allowed him to break through the suppression of the female corpse's aura and fall back.
In the nick of time, Xiao Chen managed to avoid this fatal blow. Just as the female corpse was about to make a move, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.
Just as the female corpse was about to make a move, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady suddenly appeared and placed a finger on the female corpse's forehead. "Bang!" The female corpse turned into countless specks of dust and scattered.
The moment the female corpse shattered, a strong gust of wind blew, and the scroll was unfurled.
The startled Xiao Chen on the throne glanced at it and could not shift his gaze away.
There was a bright moon hanging high on the exquisite paper. The painter had used his profound skills to paint the moon in a distant and elegant manner.
The entire painting was bathed in gentle moonlight, giving it a sense of beauty.
However, when the moonlight landed on the ground, the scene suddenly changed. The pale-white moonlight looked like frost covering the courtyard.
The osmanthus tree in the courtyard stood amidst the white frost. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady held her sword and stood upright.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady in the painting had an unparalleled beauty and a pure air. She looked valiant and valiant. As she gazed at the moonlight, she revealed an indescribable sorrow.
It was this sorrow that dyed the gentle moonlight on the ground pale, making it as cold as frost.
There were words in the painting: Moonlight like frost, flowing water hurts. Beauty ages quickly; where to seek immortality …
The distant moonlight filled the courtyard. It was like cold frost, exuding a faint sense of sorrow. Who could endure this sorrowful scene? Only that gentle and resilient woman could endure it.
However, time was like water. Once it passed, it would not return. The scars of time would eventually land on this face.
Actually, even flowing water could not block this boundless sorrow. As one looked at the bright moon in the night sky, one could only ask one question: where to seek immortality?
Xiao Chen instantly understood the state in the painting. He understood the sorrow and helplessness hidden in the poem.
He stretched out his hand, and the painting slowly floated back into Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen looked at the person in the painting and then at the heartless Heavenly Profound Holy Lady before him. It had to be said that this made him sigh.
The person in the painting still had sorrow and helplessness. However, the person before him did not have anything.
"Was he the one who drew this painting?"
Xiao Chen asked as he raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady as he held the painting with both hands. Naturally, he was referring to her former Dao companion.
After remaining silent for a long time, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady, who seemed to have freed herself, nodded slightly. "That's right. He drew it. It is also the thing that I am most reluctant to part with in this life. After waiting for one million years, I left behind a remnant thought so that I could see this painting once more. "
"I really like this painting."
"In that case, keep it. Just help me take care of it. Now, I can fulfill my promise to you."
"There's no rush."
Xiao Chen slowly rolled up the painting. Then, he took out a mirror box from the Universe Ring and carefully put it away.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady felt confused. She did not know why Xiao Chen, who had been very anxious, suddenly became so slow.
