At this time, Qin Di was shocked and frightened, almost having the urge to break into a run. He knew that every moment he stayed here was a great risk. He didn't know when an Empyrean Immortal would come in to inspect. If he was caught by an Empyrean Immortal, then he would be finished!
If he was caught somewhere else, he might be able to use the names of his two masters, Yohime and Shi Kuang, to turn things around. But here, since he saw four coffins, he was already in a dead end. If he was discovered, he was dead for sure!
Who would have thought that there was such a secret under the Yellow Springs Sea? Who would dare to let such a secret leak out?
The living couldn't keep their mouths shut, only the dead could.
Suddenly, Qin Di thought, Outside this small world, there is a rank seven immortal formation membrane. Even Empyrean Immortals can't come in. Will my luck be so bad that I'll be caught as soon as I come in?
Thus, he suppressed his fear and excitement and looked quietly at the coffins.
Up until now, he only saw the coffins, but didn't know what was inside.
Maybe this is just a cenotaph? Maybe there's nothing inside? If there's nothing, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
However, as long as he thought about what the little peach tree said, that there were many high-grade immortal spiritual veins here, he had no choice but to believe that there were skeletons in the coffin. Not complete skeletons, but at least some broken limbs, just like Xing Tian's palm, which formed five of the nine peaks of the Spirited Mountain, plus the Kunlun Mountain behind it! And these gods who left their names on the coffins were not below Xing Tian. If they were released, each of them would have earth-shattering magical powers!
These gods were almost immortal. Even if they died, it was a fake death, or a temporary hibernation. At a certain time, they could be reborn from a drop of blood. If a drop of blood could be reborn, then what about a part of the body? Wouldn't it be easier to revive?
Qin Di thought about it. He really wanted to open the immortal talisman on the coffins, but he was worried that there would be irreversible consequences.
If he didn't do anything right now, just pick up a few pieces of Huang Quan's ghost bones and sneak back to where he came from, he might be able to escape. However, if the coffin was opened and the corpses inside were exposed, then there would be an earth-shattering change that could turn the Underworld upside down! Even though the Netherworld was guarded by Jin Xian, it was hard to say if he could capture them and suppress them again.
Moreover, to Qin Di, these Great Gods might not all be as easy to talk to as Xing Tian. If things went wrong, it would be normal for them to take his life. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Who wouldn't tremble in fear when encountering such a god?
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he still did not dare to open the immortal talisman.
In that case, he chose to turn around and leave.
"We can't stay here for long. Opening the coffin might not be a good thing! Rather than staying here, I might as well hurry down the mountain and dig up a few stalks of immortal grass before leaving! "
A mountain of gold and silver was not as good as a mountain of dirt at home. Sometimes, thinking too much could lead to death.
However, just as he turned around and was about to walk down the mountain, he found that his body suddenly became extremely heavy. He couldn't even lift his feet.
An inexplicable pressure descended, and a strong suction force appeared under his feet. It was as if the gravity had suddenly increased by a hundred times, causing his body to become shorter.
"Ah? How could this be? Could it be that a Divine Immortal came in to check? Or is it the Great God in the coffin exerting his strength? "
Qin Di was terrified. On one hand, he activated the Celestial Demon Body Refining Technique to resist the increase in gravity, and on the other hand, he released the remaining 37,000 ghosts!
These ghosts had no physical bodies, so they were almost unaffected by the gravity. They were not weak, all of them were equivalent to human Void Step cultivators. Although they were trembling in the face of the pressure, they could still move freely.
The many ghosts swarmed him, lifted him up, and hurriedly carried him out!
Seeing that Qin Di was about to be carried down the mountain, he suddenly heard a gentle voice in his ears, "Young man, since you also know the Celestial Demon Body Refining Technique, it means that you are also a descendant of the Ancestral Witch Celestial Race. You have a deep relationship with us. Why don't you stop and help your Ancestor?"
Qin Di was shocked, and he hurriedly shook his head, "Senior, I am not a descendant of the Ancestral Witch Celestial Race. I am just an ordinary person! I cultivated the Celestial Demon Body Refining Technique by chance, and I received guidance from Lord Xing Tian. I am afraid I can't help you. This matter is too big, and it will bring me disaster. "
The gentle voice continued to sound in his ears, "Young man, don't be afraid. It is very quiet here, and no one will come in. Don't be in a hurry to leave. The person who sealed us has already left for millions of years. This place is relatively closed, and no one has come in for many years. At least in the past million years, you are the only one who has entered. Why don't you stop and have a chat before leaving? "
When Qin Di heard that, he felt that the other party did not have any ill intentions. Therefore, he felt a little more at ease, and he got the ghosts to stop.
He asked in a deep voice, "May I know which Divine Lord you are?"
The gentle voice answered, "I am Wood God Goumang. I see that not only do you have the Celestial Demon Body Refining Technique, you also have rich wood aura. You seem to have cultivated in the martial arts of the Qing Emperor, am I right? "
Qin Di said, "That's right. I have indeed cultivated in the Azure Dragon Art, Divine Wood Art, Earth Bearing Art, and other wood-elemental cultivation techniques. Divine Lord Goumang, may I ask why you are in the coffin? "
"Ahem, about that … I'm a little ashamed to speak of it … The four of us are Ancestral Magi, and we belong to the Celestial lineage. Our cultivation paths are different from that of immortals and fiends, and we have conflicting ideologies. Therefore, we refused to help either side in the great war between immortals and fiends. I can't remember which year it was, but there was another great war. The four of us came to mediate, but not only did we fail, we were attacked by the combined forces of the immortals and fiends. The bones outside were left behind by the cultivators we killed. "
Qin Di was alarmed when he heard that. "Ah? If the four of you joined forces to fight the enemy, how powerful would that be!? Even if everyone from the immortals and fiends joined forces, they wouldn't be able to do a thing to you! "
"Ahem … In the beginning, we were not unprepared. We first ate the Celestial Thearch's meticulously prepared immortal pills and drank the Fiend Thearch's specially added demonic wine. Later, the medicinal effects took effect, and we were unable to use even ten percent of our strength. In the end, we were surrounded by the combined forces of immortals and fiends, and perished!"
Qin Di felt his body tingle as he sighed. "I never expected the conflict between immortals, fiends, and gods to be so intense. I thought we could be on good terms with both sides!"
"Young man, I advise you to be careful! The cultivation technique you cultivate in is so complicated. If it were to be exposed in the immortal world, you would end up like us … Ahem … You would first be dismembered by five horses, and then your corpse would be scattered across many planes, sealed and suppressed. In these four immortal coffins, there are only four of our heads … "
"Ah? Four heads? "
Qin Di was horrified! For the first time, he deeply felt that the path of cultivation had become bumpy! If he had known it would be so cruel, he would have just focused on one! Why did it have to be so complicated? Although he was powerful this way, he did not dare to show it in front of others. It was fine in the Primordial World, where the emperor was far away, and no one could do anything about it. But if he went to the immortal world, it would be extremely troublesome.
Because of this, he felt that he should also release the four great gods! Only by letting them stand at the front and constantly cause trouble for the Celestial Court, could he, the future 'minor god', fish in troubled waters.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Godly Lord Goumang, you are the number one minister under the Qing Emperor! No matter how I think about it, I can't understand why someone would dare to make things difficult for you. "
The gentle voice sighed. "It's not just me. You didn't see it. There's also Fire God Zhu Rong, the number one minister under the Red Emperor; Jinshen Sushou, the number one advisor under the White Emperor; and Water God Gonggong, the number one general under the Black Emperor. All four of us are left with four heads. We have been trapped in the deepest depths of the Netherworld for millions of years! "
Qin Di frowned. The more he thought about it, the more incredulous he found it. There were too many contradictions, so he asked, "Godly Lord, how could this be? Didn't you say that in the cycle of the five virtues, the Green, Red, Yellow, White, and Black Emperors each ruled the world for a period of time? Since the Five Emperors are still around, how could you be harmed? Could it be that the Five Emperors attacked you? "
"This is a little complicated. Let me think about how to explain it."
The coffin fell into silence. After a while, a sharp voice rang out. "What's there to think about? Since ancient times, the Celestial Court has lasted for countless generations. The cycle of the five virtues is just one of the historical periods. Before that, there were other Celestial Emperors, and after that, there were even more generations! Every time there was a change of Celestial Emperors, many immortals would fall. Even the five old Celestial Emperors were oppressed and restricted, and had to live in seclusion! Some even said that the five Celestial Emperors had disappeared! At least, before my accident, no one had seen the White Emperor for a hundred thousand years! "
Qin Di turned to the coffin where the voice came from and asked, "May I ask which Godly Lord you are?"
The sharp voice answered, "I'm Ru Shou! Why are you asking so many questions at such a young age? Knowing too much isn't a good thing for you! Young people should forge ahead, do what they want to do, and strike when it's time to strike! If you are always overcautious, what great things can you achieve? "
Qin Di didn't dare to retort. He could only nod and say, "Godly Lord Ru Shou, what you said makes sense."
Then, a bell-like voice said, "Young man, I smell the scent of many fire seeds on you. Could it be that you have cultivated fire cultivation techniques too? But from what I see, you seem to have taken many detours! Why don't you help me? I'm Fire God Zhu Rong! Help me remove the immortal talisman seal outside, and I'll fuse all the immortal fires on you into a divine fire. How about that? "
Qin Di was surprised, but he refused to take a step forward. He said, "How can there be such a difference between immortal fire and divine fire? What's the difference between the two? To be honest with Godly Lord Zhu Rong, I've already mastered the Fire Sacrifice Technique. It's not that I can't raise the grade of the fire, but I'm afraid that if the grade of the immortal fire is too high, it'll fly up to the sky! "
"Humph, the Fire Sacrifice Technique that you've mastered is only a portion of my many inheritances. Only immortal fires will have such a situation. Immortal fires are pure Yang and have no Yin. Their temperament is slightly uplifted, and they like to ascend. If they transform into divine fire, they'll be at ease and there won't be so much trouble. "
Qin Di was facing the famous Fire God of the Heavenly realm. He knew that Fire God's words carried weight and he wouldn't speak carelessly. He already believed it, but he still stood there, unwilling to move.
Then, he heard Goumang's gentle voice say, "Young man, you cultivate both the demonic path and the five elements. You've also learned the Godfiend Body Tempering Dharmic formulation from Xingtian. You have a deep relationship with our Ancestral Magus Celestial race, and your potential is rather good. Furthermore, you should be a fated person since you were able to barge into this realm. How about this, since you've helped us, I won't mistreat you. I'll bestow the Wood God's inheritance to you. How about that? "
Qin Di was pleasantly surprised. Before he could speak, he heard Ru Shou's sharp voice, "Hold on, I have the Gold God's inheritance here. This kid can be my disciple!"
Upon hearing that, Qin Di's heart thumped!
He didn't know if accepting these inheritances was a good thing or a bad thing, but since he was a disciple of two immortals, Shi Kuang and Yohime, he couldn't give up on the path of dual cultivation. It was almost destined. Since that was the case, why not take this path further?
"Hmph! Who cares about demons, ghosts, immortals, Buddhas, and gods! As long as I'm strong, who dares to oppose me! "
Just as he was thinking, he heard Zhu Rong's booming voice say, "Although the divine techniques of my Zhu Rong family still have inheritances in the heavens and earth, after so many years, they might be incomplete. If we continue to be trapped here, the entire Zhu Rong family might be extinct in a few million years! Young man, even if you don't dare to remove the immortal talisman outside, I still want to hand the Fire God's inheritance to you! Help me bring it out and hand it over to the Zhu Rong family. How about that? "
Although Qin Di was tempted, he was still deliberating. This was a major matter after all. He couldn't act hastily or it would be too late for regret!
There was still one coffin left. No sound came out. It was unknown if Gonggong was asleep or unwilling to speak.
Qin Di had no choice but to ask, "Divine Lord Gonggong, what's your take on this?"
He was also afraid that the three gods would not harm him personally after he released them. Instead, they would use Gonggong's hand to destroy him with a puff of air!
However, there was no sound from the coffin even after a long while.
Following that, he heard Goumang's gentle voice say, "There's no need to ask him. Ever since he slammed into Mt. Buzhou, he hasn't spoken a word! Don't worry, the three of us can guarantee that he won't harm you! "
