The last sealing chain was isolated by Shi Chen, and in the bone cave space, only the jade coffin remained suspended in mid-air.
The precious light is everywhere, emitting a mysterious and ancient aura, and it is suspended quietly.
I originally thought that once the seal was lifted, the person in the jade coffin would wake up and come out, but now everything is as calm as usual.
Shi Chen frowned, his spiritual sense could not reach inside the jade coffin, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious: What's going on? Could it be that the leader of the Five Elements Sect failed to open the jade coffin when he broke the seal formation ten thousand years ago?
"Senior, when you came here ten thousand years ago, did you unlock the sealing formation and open the jade coffin?" Shi Chen asked.
The shadow was no longer affected by the formation and turned into a real spirit. Its body became more solid and an embarrassed look appeared on its face.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "At that time, I forced my way into this cave and saw the jade coffin in the air radiating precious light. I wanted to use my cultivation to forcibly break the sealing formation, but was counterattacked by the formation.
As a last resort, I sacrificed my body to complete the sealing formation, thus escaping the backlash and fatal disaster. However, I was connected to the formation and slowly transformed into a formation spirit. Now I feel that within three to five years, I will truly become the formation spirit of this nine-layer sealing formation.
Shi Chen felt contempt after hearing this. It turned out that the Five Elements Sect's leader's formation skills were inadequate, leading to his fate. However, he also understood that this was not the time to look down on others. The most urgent task was to open the jade coffin and search for the treasure that would regenerate his spiritual roots.
"Oh! The jade coffin is so shining with precious light, maybe it is not an evil thing. Maybe there are spiritual objects inside that can continue the spiritual roots. I wonder if it can be opened." Shi Chen said.
"Now I have no thoughts about this thing. In the past ten thousand years, they have already reincarnated many times. Please do as you please." The shadow looked at the jade coffin in the air and said.
Shi Chen took off into the air and flew towards the jade coffin in mid-air, looking around at the jade coffin in front of him.
A shadow also followed behind him, floating beside the jade coffin and observing.
The entire outer wall of the jade coffin was surrounded by transparent and dim runes. The wall was blurred and the face of the person inside could not be seen clearly. However, from the clothes on both sides of the coffin close to the wall, it was discovered that the person in the coffin should be a woman.
There were six things placed on both sides of the coffin, close to the walls.
On one side was a five-inch long sword, a golden gourd, and a fist-sized sedan chair.
On the other side was a roll of ribbon, a pair of gloves, and a pair of gold rings.
After carefully observing for a moment and feeling that there was no danger, Shi Chen stepped forward and stood in the void facing the jade coffin. He bowed and said, "I came here to seek an item to renew my spiritual roots, and I found you sealed here. I shouldn't desecrate your body, but I am eager to save my friend. I can only open your jade coffin to see if there is anything inside to renew your spiritual roots. If there is, I will borrow one from you. The rest of the treasures will remain untouched. All consequences will be borne by me alone."
After Shi Chen finished speaking, he waited quietly for a moment, but the jade coffin still did not respond. He sighed slightly in his heart, and he had to open the jade coffin again.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the coffin, but before he could do so, he was blocked by the runes outside the jade coffin. His spiritual power was stimulated, and the originally transparent and blurry runes shattered instantly, carrying all the runes outside the jade coffin and dissipating around the jade coffin.
Shi Chen's hand stopped before touching the jade coffin. He watched the void runes surrounding the jade coffin dissipate, and became suspicious. He thought that the mermaid had gone to great lengths to open the jade coffin, and now that the void runes dissipated, it was impossible to restore the jade coffin to its previous sealed state.
This layer of void runes is mainly used to resist the resentful energy transformed from the nine layers of seals, preventing it from corroding the jade coffin.
Shi Chen watched the vanishing void runes, feeling a surge of unease. He knew his actions might lead to unpredictable consequences. But now that things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
He slowly placed his hand on the jade coffin, feeling the mysterious aura emanating from it. The surface of the jade coffin was smooth and cold, as if telling of the vicissitudes of time. Shi Chen tried to use his spiritual power to probe the interior of the jade coffin, but still found nothing.
The shadowy figure beside him also showed a nervous expression. He was well aware of the mystery and danger of the jade coffin. Now that the void rune had dissipated, the situation became even more difficult to control.
The spiritual power circulated as the palm extended slightly.
throat!
The jade coffin lid made a strange sound and opened a crack. The light emitted by the magic weapon shot out from the crack, forming a colorful light in the bone cave.
Then the jade coffin lid slowly opened, and within a few breaths, the entire jade coffin appeared before the two of them.
The jade coffin was ablaze with light, and the six magical instruments shone even brighter. In the middle of the instruments lay a woman with a stunningly beautiful face, like a sleeping fairy.
Shi Chen's gaze stayed on the woman for a moment, then quickly moved to the magic weapons around him.
A small sword, a golden gourd, a miniature sedan chair, a ribbon, gloves and a golden ring are all magic weapons, and there are also jade bottles containing elixirs, or storage magic weapons.
Shi Chen felt depressed for a moment. Without the spiritual objects and elixirs he was looking for, it seemed that all his explorations over the past few years had been a waste of time.
His eyes revealed deep disappointment. He had originally hoped to find a treasure in the jade coffin that could regenerate his spiritual roots, but now he found nothing.
Shi Chen took a deep breath, calming himself. He knew he couldn't act rashly and needed to carefully analyze the potential of each magical weapon. He looked at the woman in the jade coffin again, a wave of doubt welling up in his heart. Who was this woman? Why was she sealed in this jade coffin? What was her relationship to these magical weapons?
The shadowy figure beside him also fell into deep thought. He was also attracted by these magical weapons, but he also understood the dangers.
Unwilling to give up, Shi Chen carefully examined every item in the jade coffin again, even picking up the magic weapons and examining them, trying to find a clue. The small sword was incredibly sharp, the golden gourd was mysterious, the sedan chair was exquisite and luxurious, the silk ribbon was light and soft, the gloves were of extraordinary texture, and the golden ring was dazzling, but there was no spiritual object or elixir he longed for.
Chen sighed softly, feeling helpless. It seemed as if all his years of searching had come to nothing. He didn't know where to go next.
The shadow beside him looked at Shi Chen's loss and felt a little emotional.
"Perhaps this is fate." The shadow said softly, with a complex look in his eyes, as if he was feeling emotional and relieved.
Shi Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps this is just a trick of fate! Senior, this matter is over. I will go to Chiyan Continent to pick up my friend and bring him to Yuanling Continent. Do you want to come with me?"
"Thank you very much for saving me and bringing my son's relics. There is nothing I want here anymore, and it is not a place I want to stay. I'd better return to Yuanling Continent and reincarnate and start over. However, I will not go to Chiyan Continent with you. Once we are outside the island, I will find a way to get to Yuanling Continent myself." The leader of the Five Elements Sect floated slightly, his tone full of gratitude and determination.
"Let's go, senior." Shi Chen said as he waved his hands. The jade coffin lid slowly closed and turned to fly towards the bone cave. His movements were decisive and neat.
