Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 506: Bronze Coffin
In the distance, the Jin Ling Saintess and Yin Yuexuan were together.
It was only after Mo Wentian's figure had vanished into thin air that they cautiously approached, their hearts filled with trepidation.
At that moment, a mix of conflicted emotions was evident on the face of the Jin Ling Saintess as she stepped forward and carefully inquired of Qinchuan,
"May I ask if you know the Immortal of the Thousand Hands?"
"The Immortal of the Thousand Hands?" Qinchuan was taken aback, then pursed his lips and shook his head, "Never heard of them!"
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something, "But this young master does know of a little chap called Qian Shou! Ten thousand years ago, I casually taught him a couple of moves!"
"Indeed, the Immortal of the Thousand Hands was from the Divine Wilderness Continent and stepped into the Divine Realm. It was said that his common name on the Divine Wilderness Continent was Qian Shou!"
The Jin Ling Saintess suddenly became excited, her gaze towards Qinchuan growing even more complex and mysterious, "Could it be... that the Divine Skill of 'Heaven and Earth Swap' used by the Immortal of the Thousand Hands was taught by you?"
Qinchuan looked at the Jin Ling Saintess in surprise, "Oh, you even know the name 'Heaven and Earth Swap.' It seems you have a deep connection with that little chap!"
Qinchuan's Innate Pupils opened, emitting a blazing brilliance.
The next moment, Qinchuan realized.
"So that's how it is!"
Upon hearing a definite answer, the Jin Ling Saintess suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, kneeling.
"Jin Ling pays respects to the great master and ancestor!"
This sudden development shocked not only Ji Huo'er but Yin Yuexuan as well, who was puzzled, "Eh? Why did she suddenly kneel down while talking just fine? Great master? What great master?"
After opening his Innate Pupils, Qinchuan took another careful look at the Jin Ling Saintess. To his astonishment, he discovered that aside from her Golden Pupils, she also carried a wisp of Qi similar to that little chap, Qian Shou.
Qinchuan understood, presumably, after Qian Shou entered the Divine Realm, the Golden Clan took a fancy to him and married him into their family, resulting in the progeny that was Jin Ling.
Qinchuan had once imparted a move-and-a-half to Qian Shou. Although Qinchuan never formally took him as a disciple and Qian Shou never even knew Qinchuan's real name,
Qian Shou had always remembered the favor of being taught and always referred to Qinchuan as his master.
Thus,
It was not strange for the Jin Ling Saintess to address Qinchuan as the great master after recognizing him.
Indeed, Jin Ling Saintess communicated telepathically, "The Immortal of the Thousand Hands is my grandfather. Before he passed away, he told me that he had a master on the Divine Wilderness Continent to whom he was always grateful."
"Get up. I never acknowledged that kid as my disciple; it was just his own wishful thinking! I only passed him that move because he was extraordinarily talented, and I did so casually!" said Qinchuan indifferently.
"Yes, great master!" Jin Ling nodded and stood up.
Qinchuan held his forehead, no longer paying attention to how the Jin Ling Saintess addressed him. He tossed the Life Fruit to the Divine Corpse.
The Divine Corpse held the Life Fruit in its hands, a faint divine light enveloped its body, and then it swallowed the Life Fruit whole.
Qinchuan watched the Divine Corpse with curiosity. He wanted to know why the Divine Corpse was so eager to acquire the Life Fruit and what its intentions were.
Could this corpse truly be seeking resurrection?
Ten breaths.

Twenty breaths.
Thirty breaths.
One hundred breaths passed, and after swallowing the Life Fruit, the Divine Corpse showed not the slightest change!
"..."
Qinchuan was speechless. The Life Fruit, produced by the Divine Tree only once every three hundred thousand years, could heal severe injuries if consumed. With its potency matching the supreme Spirit Pills and Divine Medicines, one should be able to bounce back to life immediately.
Yet, after being ingested by the Divine Corpse, there was not even the slightest reaction.
Sensing Qinchuan's gaze,
The Divine Corpse suddenly moved again. Its emaciated body climbed swiftly along the Divine Tree, heading straight towards the sky.
"Eh!"
"He's signaling for me to follow!"
A thought crossed Qinchuan's mind, and he immediately activated his movement technique, trailing behind the Divine Corpse from afar.
This Divine Tree was incredibly massive. As everyone ascended along the trunk, the view unfolded like a cliff where the end could not be seen in all directions.
On the main trunk of the Divine Tree, there were mountains of rugged stones as well as horizontally growing branches, appearing like a forest of trees, on which dwelled Fierce Beasts and birds. It was no different from its own separate world.
The group followed the Divine Corpse upward, surrounded by swirling mists.
Finally, the Divine Corpse stopped at a huge branch that extended outward.
The Divine Tree had countless branches, and no one could clearly count how many there were; even Qinchuan, who had entered this world countless times, realized he had never been to this place before.
"Let's go, there seems to be a strong aura at the end of this branch, let's check it out!"
Having led them here, Qinchuan also sensed an unusual aura at the end of this branch.
...
Concealing their own auras, Qinchuan and his companions leaped outward along the branch for thousands of miles and finally reached its very end.
"Is that——"
"A Bronze Stone Coffin!"
The group was astonished.
At the end of the branch of the Divine Tree, there lay a massive Bronze Stone Coffin.
The Bronze Stone Coffin was a hundred zhang tall and a thousand zhang long, its surface covered with a layer of green rust, showing the mottled signs of age and the traces of time.
The surface of the Bronze Stone Coffin was covered with intricate and complex runes, emitting a mysterious and divine radiance.
Qinchuan spoke solemnly, "It's these mysterious inscriptions again!"
These mysterious inscriptions were extremely ancient; he had seen them before on the stele in the Demon Forest, and on the bronze doors of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.
Now, they appeared on this Bronze Stone Coffin.
Clearly, there was a significant connection between them all.
"Perhaps, the Crystal Core of this world is inside this Bronze Stone Coffin!"
Qinchuan thought to himself.
Immediately after, Qinchuan placed one hand on the Bronze Coffin lid, his Dao Magic surged, trying to push open the coffin.
"Hm?"
"It can't be opened?"
Qinchuan found that the Bronze Stone Coffin was tightly sealed; no matter how hard he tried, the Bronze Coffin wouldn't budge.
The Divine Corpse also came over in a wobbly manner, bracing the coffin lid to assist Qinchuan.
Seeing this, Ji Huo'er, the Jin Ling Saintess, and the other three also floated forward and extended their dazzling Divine Power from their arms, striking the coffin.
However, no matter how hard everyone tried, the coffin remained securely in place with no sign of opening.
The group joined forces, yet the coffin stood firm, as if it was all one piece, utterly immovable.
After a long while, Qinchuan chose to give up.
"It seems I can only take you with me for now, and find a way to open it later!"
Although he suspected that there was something unusual about this Bronze Stone Coffin, possibly even housing the Crystal Core of this world, they were still some distance away from the summit of the Divine Tree.
The world's Crystal Core could be even more likely to be at the summit of the Divine Tree.
Not wanting to waste too much time here, Qinchuan was eager to make his way to the summit of the Divine Tree quickly.
Since he could not open the coffin, he planned to take it with him and store it in the Dao Lotus space.
This coffin, though massive, was nothing to the vast and boundless space of the Dao Lotus.
Qinchuan activated the Dao Lotus.
But the next moment, an unexpected change occurred.
The coffin seemed to sense the powerful pull from the Dao Lotus, and suddenly, the coffin began to move.
Afterward, the coffin started to tremble lightly, and its size began to grow larger.
As it grew larger, its trembling became more intense.
In the end.
The Bronze Stone Coffin thundered into motion, shooting off directly.
It tore through the void, fleeing into the distance.
