The fresh blood, which looked like it was condensed from red mist, dripped onto the spirit vine. The leaves of the spirit vine clanked, and the entire underground palace shook. The twisted branches began to loosen, and the coffin was slowly placed on the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan's expression did not change. He stepped forward and slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin. Immediately, dao ripples spread out.
"What a powerful fluctuation. Looks like I've still underestimated Chi Song Zi. His cultivation level was at least above the Self Release Realm when he was alive, which is equivalent to the Great Saint Realm in this world." Feeling this fluctuation, Ye Xuan paused and could not help but feel a little surprised.
Unfortunately, this was the only thing left in the coffin. It was because Chi Song Zi had already transformed into the dao, his blood and bones no longer remaining. Only a humanoid imprint remained at the bottom of the coffin, proving that he had once existed in this world.
Next to the human-shaped mark, Ye Xuan also saw the origins of the seven sword intents that were emitted from the stone room. They were the seven Sacred Weapons that Chi Song Zi had refined. However, just like Chi Song Zi, when Chi Song Zi transformed into Tao, they also lost all their marks and turned into dust along with Chi Song Zi.
"Even the Self Release realm can live for hundreds of thousands of years in the chaotic ancient times, but here, they can only live for a few thousand years. Without transcending the grand dao, they are still ants!" Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Then he thought about himself and became even more determined.
The coffin wasn't completely empty. At the bottom of the coffin, above the human-shaped mark, there was a jade box. Even though Chi Song 'zi and his Sacred Weapon had been reduced to dust, the jade box was still intact.
This was something Chi Song Zi had intentionally left behind. Otherwise, when a Great Sage became dao, there wouldn't be anything left in the coffin. The marks of the grand dao would erase everything.
One could imagine that even before becoming dao, Chi Song Zi didn't want to destroy this item. He valued it more than his own life.
"Living for the sake of becoming an immortal … This is not your fault, but the entire world, the entire grand dao …" Ye Xuan picked up the jade box and opened it. Sure enough, it was an incomplete map of Kunlun. Looking at the coffin imprint left behind by Chi Song Zi, Ye Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Suddenly, the Daomization Seal left by Chi Song Zi in the coffin emitted specks of golden light particles that formed a blurry figure. Ye Xuan seemed to hear a sigh coming from the void. Then, the golden specks of light suddenly spread out and circled around the coffin. They seemed to have turned into butterflies that danced in the air. Then, they spread towards the entire void.
"This is …" Facing this sudden change, Ye Xuan was startled at first. Then, his expression changed greatly. His aura spread out, causing the void to tremble. He circulated his dao and used his divine sense to protect his body.
However, the golden rain was still the same, as if it did not belong to this world. It was not affected by the laws of the world. and was not affected by his divine sense.
"There are no energy waves or life imprints. Even divine sense can't affect them." Looking at the golden particles of light spreading into the void, Ye Xuan frowned. For a moment, he couldn't understand what kind of existence the golden particles of light produced by the imprint were.
The golden particles of light did not seem to exist in this void. After spreading into the void, they directly penetrated the underground tomb and flew toward the ground.
This change surprised Ye Xuan. He didn't know why such a change was happening. After looking at the empty coffin, he moved his mind and chased after the golden particles of light.
The marks in the underground tomb could not stop these golden particles of light. They turned into a waterfall, like a golden rainbow, and flew out of the ground and into the sky.
"Wow, what is that? A golden rainbow?"
"So beautiful!"
Even though it was daytime, it could not hide the traces of the golden waterfall. They were as dazzling as gold and stretched across the void. Even ordinary people could see them clearly, and they all cried out in surprise.
Bang! ~ ~ ~
Suddenly, the golden waterfall burst open and turned into a golden rain of light. It fell on the entire ground. Some fell into the rocks, some into the plants, and some even fell into the crowd and were absorbed by some lucky people.
"Ah, why does my body feel so much lighter?"
"Heavens, the injuries I suffered the day before yesterday are all healed now!"
"Unbelievable! My, my myopia is also healed!"
"A miracle, this is a miracle!"
"The gods have shown their divinity!"
"Bodhisattva Lord Buddha has shown his divinity!"
… …
The golden particles of light were absorbed by the crowd, and some of the people who had been injured were instantly healed. The old people seemed to have returned to their youths, and the youths seemed to have become full of life. They all cried out in surprise, and some of the people with faith even knelt to the sky and worshipped.
Ye Xuan flew into the sky, but he did not forget to hide himself. He had been following behind the waterfall. Seeing everything that happened after the waterfall of golden light particles broke and turned into a light rain, he immediately understood what these golden light particles were.
If he wasn't wrong, these golden particles of light should be the lingering will of Chi Song 'zi after his lifespan came to an end and transformed into the Dao.
Chi Song 'zi lived for the sake of becoming an immortal. Even before his death, he asked the heavens in his heart if immortals existed in this world and if there really were cultivators that could live forever in this world.
This strand of lingering will had always been lingering at the place where he transformed into the Dao. If no one noticed it, then perhaps it would be obliterated by the passage of time.
Perhaps Ye Xuan's sentiments before his coffin had resonated with the lingering will of Chi Song 'zi, causing this strand of lingering will to be freed. In the end, it transformed into a ray of light and used the last bit of his cultivation to save the world.
This was a true cultivator of the Dao. He lived for the sake of becoming an immortal. Even though he left with regret in the end, his lingering will had been eliminated, and it could be considered as a form of transcendence.
"Fellow Daoist, have a safe journey!" Even though he knew that Chi Song 'zi had truly transformed into the Dao, he still bowed toward the sky and seemed to be filled with Chi Song' zi's desire to save the world.
At this moment, the commotion here finally attracted the attention of the cultivators in the mortal world. Numerous rays of light shot up from the ground and tore through the sky on magic treasures.
Even though Ye Xuan had concealed his figure earlier, it was only a layer of light. It only isolated the eyes of the people in the mortal world, but it was no obstruction to the cultivators.
"Who are you? Which sect are you from? Could it be that you don't know the rule that cultivators are not allowed to show their divinity in the mortal world? "The newcomers wore black uniforms, and they directly reprimanded Ye Xuan when they saw him.
