The Imperial Star Sector was in sight. After Yang Xuan stopped the flying ship, he sent them back.
The nine satellites around the Imperial Star were still rotating quietly, as if they would never change.
When Yang Xuan landed in front of Fang Rongxuan, Fang Rongxuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately stood up and said in confusion, "Tianxuan The Great, what are you …?"
He stared at the coffin in Yang Xuan's hand.
Yang Xuan put down the black wooden coffin and asked directly, "Have you seen Great Empress Qingyao?"
Fang Rongxuan was still confused. He nodded and said, "Where did this come from? Why haven't I seen Great Empress Qingyao?"
"Yes!" Yang Xuan nodded and suddenly opened the coffin lid.
"Do you know the woman in the coffin?"
Fang Rongxuan looked at the black coffin and was shocked and confused. His eyes darted back and forth between the coffin and Yang Xuan, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.
"Great Empress, are you kidding me? This is clearly an empty coffin. Where did this person come from?" Fang Rongxuan was confused.
This time, it was Yang Xuan's turn to be shocked. He looked inside the coffin again. Yes, there was a woman in a white dress with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. There was no expression on her unique face. It was as if she was just sleeping.
"You can't see the person in the coffin?" Yang Xuan was shocked.
Fang Rongxuan looked at the coffin again. Yes, it was empty. He could see the dark bottom.
"Tianxuan The Great, although my cultivation is not good, I am not old yet. How can I not see if there is a person in the coffin?" Fang Rongxuan said in a low voice. He felt that Yang Xuan was looking for an excuse to humiliate him.
Yang Xuan was speechless.
There was clearly a woman in a white dress lying in the coffin, but why couldn't Fang Rongxuan see her?
Was he the only one who could see her?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pulled at the void. All the doors and windows opened, and seven or eight guards flew in from the outside. After landing, they jumped up and unsheathed their weapons, looking at Yang Xuan with shock and vigilance.
Fang Rongxuan naturally knew what was going on. He hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be impudent. This is my esteemed guest."
Only then did the few guards resentfully sheath their blades, cupping their fists towards Yang Xuan unwillingly.
Yang Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to their thoughts and directly said, "Look at what's in the coffin."
They were stunned and looked at the coffin on the ground at the same time. After a long while, they shook their heads and one of them replied, "Sir, it's an empty coffin. There's nothing inside."
As he spoke, Yang Xuan's Divine Telekinesis followed him. He noticed that the man's heart rate did not change at all. Obviously, he was not lying.
This time, Yang Xuan was certain that these people could not see the woman in the coffin.
"You guys can leave first." Fang Rongxuan waved his hand.
After they left, Fang Rongxuan asked, "Great Emperor, what happened?"
Yang Xuan shook his head slightly.
Fang Rongxuan and his guards could not see the woman in the coffin. The strangeness of the situation was beyond his imagination.
He decided that it was best not to tell the truth for now.
"Do you have a portrait of Great Emperor Qingyao here?" Yang Xuan thought for a moment and asked.
Fang Rongxuan didn't know what Yang Xuan meant. He shook his head and said, "I don't have it here, but there are portraits of Great Emperor Qingyao and Great Emperor Yuan Xi in the imperial mausoleum."
"Where is the imperial mausoleum?" Yang Xuan asked.
"North of the Imperial Court Star, there's a snowy mountain that reaches the clouds. The imperial mausoleum is in the middle of the mountain. It's not hard to find," Fang Rongxuan said.
"Goodbye!" Yang Xuan said. He lifted the coffin and disappeared on the spot.
Fang Rongxuan was confused. From the beginning to the end, he did not understand what had happened.
At this moment, Yang Xuan, who was dragging the black wooden coffin, had appeared in the starry sky. He stepped on the void and walked towards the Imperial Court Star with large strides.
It seemed slow, but it was actually fast.
Although it was not as fast as Shrinking Earth into an Inch, it was still impressive. Soon, he landed on the Imperial Court Star.
Although the ruler of the imperial court was not there, the Imperial Court Star was still heavily guarded. Many imperial court guards shuttled back and forth, looking out for any abnormalities.
Yang Xuan, who was dragging the black coffin, realized that he couldn't even make himself invisible. He used his Divine Telekinesis and shocking speed to bypass the imperial court guards and head straight for the imperial mausoleum.
Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't make himself invisible, but that he couldn't make the black coffin invisible.
The imperial mausoleum did not look grand from the outside. Instead, it gave off a simple and unadorned feeling.
Although it was called an imperial mausoleum, it was very different from what Yang Xuan imagined. It was just a place for worship with some memorial tablets.
Yang Xuan did not enter. His Divine Telekinesis flowed in like water. It only took him a few minutes to find what he was looking for.
It was a portrait of a woman in a long white dress. Her long hair reached her waist, and although her face couldn't be considered beautiful, she had a unique temperament that moved people's hearts.
There were also words on the scroll: Great Empress Qingyao.
Yang Xuan was shocked because the woman in the scroll was exactly the same as the woman in the coffin.
Now, he was finally sure that the woman in the coffin was Great Empress Qingyao from 10,000 years ago.
Suddenly, a huge wave of questions surged in his mind. All kinds of questions swarmed in like a tide.
Since Great Empress Qingyao kept her corpse, why did the outside world say that she disappeared with the wind?
Who was it that spread such news?
Why did Great Empress Qingyao enter the black coffin herself so that her corpse would not be damaged after 10,000 years?
The biggest question was, since it was confirmed that Great Empress Qingyao was in the coffin, why was he the only one who could see it?
At that moment, Yang Xuan was full of questions.
In the imperial mausoleum, Great Empress Qingyao seemed to move by herself. She came down from the wall and bypassed the guards. Soon, she flew into Yang Xuan's hands.
Yang Xuan opened the scroll and made a detailed comparison with the woman in the coffin. Once again, he was sure that the two were definitely the same person.
When he looked at the scroll carefully again, Yang Xuan found a line of small characters at the bottom of the scroll.
"Candlelight wine under the moon, dancing in the breeze. Yuanxi painted Qingyao on Zuo Wang Mountain."
A strange look appeared in Yang Xuan's eyes. This painting was actually drawn by Chen Yuanxi in a place called Forgetful Mountain.
Yang Xuan did not know where Zuo Wang Mountain was, but this was not a problem for him. He could ask anyone and he would know.
The question now was why Great Empress Qingyao would go through so much trouble to preserve her body and even use a certain amount of nomological power to prevent her corpse from decaying after 10,000 years.
That's right. What protected Empress Qingyao's body from decaying wasn't any treasure, but a tiny bit of the power of the laws lingering in the black coffin, causing her body to remain forever at the moment of her death.
At that moment, Yang Xuan inexplicably thought of the pyramids and mummies on the Cerulean Planet.
Rumor had it that the ancient Egyptians believed that after a person died, as long as their corpse was intact, the soul of the deceased would return from the Grim Reaper at a certain time and descend upon the world again.
Since the Egyptians made mummies to bring the dead back to life, why would Great Empress Qingyao use the last of her strength to use the nomological power to preserve her corpse?
Yang Xuan had already investigated this strange black wooden coffin.
He found that there were some nomological remnants outside the coffin. After careful consideration, Yang Xuan realized that these nomological powers were used to hide the coffin so that it would not be exposed to the world.
Now, for some reason, the nomological powers were broken and the coffin was exposed from the rock.
This also explained why no one had discovered the coffin left behind by Great Empress Qingyao for 10,000 years.
The question was, why would Great Empress Qingyao do this?
To resurrect?
