Chapter 386: Chapter 38 The Strange Ancient Stone Coffin

Mad Demon was terrifying, but Lin Feng had finally managed to escape its pursuit. He was sincerely grateful for the appearance of the people from Sky Gazing Sect; otherwise, it was quite possible he would have become a lost soul under its claws.

As he ventured deeper, he noticed that the number of forks in the path had started to decrease. Many of them converged before leading further into the depths.

"There’s an ancient cave mansion deep inside, rumored to contain a stone coffin that might house a divine spirit. Many have gone to see it."

Upon hearing such news, Lin Feng felt extremely shocked.

Whoosh.

Lin Feng also swiftly made his way toward the depths and finally arrived at the deepest part of Divine Spirit Mountain—a massive cave capable of accommodating thousands of people.

By the time Lin Feng got there, the place was already filled with many strong competitors. Now everyone was looking toward the depths of the cave.

The most powerful among them naturally occupied the central positions, while many cultivators were scattered around the periphery, all covetously waiting for an opportunity.

Fate’s treasures in heaven and earth are a rather peculiar thing; it’s not necessarily true that the strongest will claim them. Often, that’s not the case.

Heavenly treasures are predestined for those with fate.

Even those of insufficient power can obtain them if fated.

Furthermore, the ancient powerhouses who left these treasures and inheritances often prepared contingencies to ensure that the predestined could safely obtain them.

This was why every time an ancient cave mansion or inheritance appeared, regardless of their strength, so many flocked to the scene.

Within this cave mansion, there was certainly a gathering of the mighty. Among the younger generation, Lin Feng saw "Jin Yichen," "Hu Meixian," "Hua Xiruo," "Qin Mubai," and many other formidable figures. There were also five or six top-tier young elites, with an aura not much weaker than that of Jin Yichen and the others, who could also vie with significant figures for supremacy, but Lin Feng did not recognize them.

Of course, there were also powerhouses from Ancient Sacred Lands and Ancient Dynasties. They represented the pinnacle of combat power.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

A deep, roaring voice echoed as the Mad Demon flew into the cave from outside.

"It’s that Mad Demon, quick, get out of the way."

Seeing the Mad Demon’s arrival, many were dreadfully shouting, quickly finding places to hide.

Clearly, many had seen this Mad Demon before and knew of its horror. Upon seeing it again, their hearts filled only with fright and terror.

This time, the Mad Demon did not embark on a slaughter. It stood inside the cave, looking at the stone coffin, and let out a chilling laugh. Many people felt shivers down their spine when they heard the Mad Demon’s eerie laughter, but fortunately, this time the Mad Demon did not continue to attack everyone, providing a slight sense of relief.

"This is Divine Spirit Mountain, and since it’s called Divine Spirit Mountain, it should be a place where divine spirits are buried. A stone coffin has appeared; could it be that a divine spirit lies buried within it?"

Someone said so, looking at the stone coffin with a gaze burning with immense fervor. Perhaps the divine spirit’s legacy was interred within the stone coffin.

The stone coffin was very special. No one knew what material it was crafted from, and it was fixed in place with eighty-one stone nails, lying solitary at the center of the cave, with many strong competitors observing it.

Lin Feng knitted his brows, feeling that the stone coffin was no simple matter. There were faint markings on it, but he could vaguely see that they were intricate array patterns intertwined together, dense and covering the entire coffin, with the eighty-one stone nails together sealing the coffin.

"If it truly contains the remains of a divine spirit, then it’s unimaginable, surely harboring earth-shattering secrets!"

So someone else said.

"Great misfortune, great misfortune..." Lin Feng heard a muttering voice and turned his head to see the Wuliang Taoist.

Lin Feng’s heart stirred, wondering if this Taoist really had any abilities or was merely a charlatan?

"Taoist, what fate we have," Lin Feng approached.

The Wuliang Taoist jumped in fright and, seeing Lin Feng, rolled his eyes and said, "Why is it you again? No matter where Taoist Master I go, I bump into you. Tell me honestly, are you following me? Do you have some sinister intentions towards me?"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel speechless; this Taoist actually dared to say such words? It was clearly I, the young master, who, wherever I went, this Taoist ghostly appeared, and now he had the audacity to turn it around.

Lin Feng didn’t intend to argue with the Wuliang Taoist about these things and asked, "Taoist, what did you mean by ’great misfortune’ just now?"

Wuliang Taoist shook his head and said, "You must have heard wrong."

Then, Wuliang Taoist backed out of the cave and watched from the entrance, seemingly ready to slip away at the slightest sign of trouble.

...

At that moment, a powerful figure finally spoke up; he was the Vice Sect Hierarch of an Ancient Sect.

"Divine Heaven Sect," an ancient force that had inherited its legacy for over a hundred thousand years, was extraordinarily powerful.

The Vice Sect Hierarch of Divine Heaven Sect was named "Shen Xuanming," with a Cultivation at the level of Public Participation Creation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how about we join forces to open the coffin?" proposed Shen Xuanming, having already made up his mind.

"Then let’s open the coffin."

Many of the elite figures from the Great Forces nodded in agreement.

A total of fifteen people approached the stone coffin.

"These were the elite figures from those ancient forces; the rest had no right to stand beside them."

Someone said this, implying that not everyone had the privilege to step forward at this moment.

Those who were opening the coffin might be the first to obtain the treasures within. Only these ancient forces’ elite figures had such a privilege.

"Boom..."

They reached the stone coffin and exuded a powerful aura. The fifteen top figures began to remove the Stone Nails sealing the stone coffin.

Their presence was incredibly fearsome, especially when the aura from all fifteen elites combined; it permeated the air, making many feel suffocated. Those with weaker Cultivation amongst the cultivators were almost pressured to kneel.

"How terrifying, all of them are supreme fighters." Lin Feng squinted his eyes.

Of course, there were also strong figures who did not take action, such as the younger generation of heavenly talents, for instance, Mad Demon, and some who deliberately concealed their strength.

The Stone Nails were being pulled out one after another.

The stone coffin started to loosen.

Many eyes tensely watched the scene unfold, waiting for the stone coffin to be opened.

"All sixty-four Stone Nails have been pulled out, the stone coffin is about to be opened."

"What in the world is inside? Is it really a deceased Ancient Divine Spirit?"

"Is the Taoist inheritance of the Ancient Divine Spirit inside?"

Many were discussing animatedly, showing great excitement.

"Look, what’s that?"

Suddenly, someone cried out in terror, pointing at the stone coffin.

All eyes turned to look.

"What’s that?" Lin Feng was shocked; he felt his scalp tingle.

From the ancient stone coffin, a crimson blood began to flow out.

That blood emanated an astonishing energy and Divine Power.

It seemed to be the rumored Divine Demon Blood.

"Oh my God, how could the ancient stone coffin be leaking blood? This is really too bizarre."

Seeing this, many felt a tingling on their scalps.
