Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 751 - 213: Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers! The Anomaly of the Destiny Coffin! (10,000-Word Mega - !)_6
Such a statement left several Taoists dumbfounded. They seriously wondered if there was something wrong with their ears. Had they heard incorrectly?
This broken body was actually the physical form of the Great Immortal? If that was really the case, didn’t it mean that the Great Immortal was... already dead?
Hisss!!!
This was a being who had quelled a locust disaster by his own Power. Although not exactly a true deity, what difference was there in such strength from that of a true deity?
Was such a being actually dead? And his corpse was just presented before them like this?
Endless shock filled the hearts and minds of every Taoist present.
Even the collapse of their Taoist Temple the previous night hadn’t been as shocking as this!
The Observatory Master of the Taoist Temple didn’t doubt the words of the old Envoy, as he knew the Envoy was a very powerful being. It was impossible for the other party to joke with an old Taoist Priest like him at a time like this.
"This... this... this..." The Observatory Master of the Taoist Temple struggled to maintain his composure and the seriousness and astuteness expected of one in his position.
Swallowing hard, he then asked, "What kind of being was it that killed the Great Immortal Locust?"
The old Envoy shook his head, "This old man is not particularly clear."
In truth, he had thought of one possibility, because a name had surfaced in his mind—Fan Wu!
But such a possibility was far too remote.
Previously, encountering the site where Daoist Fan Wu had fought with the Evil God had already been an incredible stroke of luck. Could they now really come across a site where Fan Wu had battled a Great Immortal Locust? Such a coincidence was too contrived, so much so that he suspected there might be some conspiracy at play.
Therefore, the Envoy discarded such a guess.
However, at this moment...
They heard the voice of a young Envoy, filled with astonishment, "My lord! Look over there!!"
The old Envoy and everyone else followed the direction the young Envoy was pointing in.
Then, they saw in the distance a huge crater on the ground, resembling a dried-up lake, with an extremely vast scale.
"It seems to also be a trace left behind by the battle between the Great Immortal Locust and an unknown adversary," the old Envoy’s expression was very solemn. "Such an existence, it’s unclear whether they’re friend or foe; if it’s an enemy, that would be troublesome."
"..."
...
Unaware of this group discussing them, Fan Wu and the others had already continued on their journey.
Fan Wu and his companions had set out this morning at dawn.
Now, it was midday.
"Why does it feel like the Great Yan Dynasty is even more chaotic than the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Yun Jiuqing ranted as she walked. "We’ve only been here for a short while and have already encountered such a formidable character. Could it be because this place is so dangerous that the people of the Great Yan Dynasty are so fierce? After all, in a place like this, if one is not fierce enough, they probably can’t survive!"
Hearing Yun Jiuqing’s rant, Liu Feng followed with a few awkward laughs behind her, not knowing how to respond.
He very much wanted to defend his Dynasty and offer some slight justification.
But the problem was, reality was right in front of them.
Every point Yun Jiuqing ranted about hit the nail on the head. There were no fabrications, no slanders.
This left Liu Feng at a loss for words in his defense.
Now.
They were traveling along an official road in the Great Yan Dynasty, which wasn’t as broad as the ones in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Nevertheless, there were quite a few travelers on the road, mainly merchants and Escort Masters.
These merchants and Escort Masters were very cautious when they happened to encounter Fan Wu and his party.
Fearing that Fan Wu and the others might be robbers.
Of course.
Their main concern was with Fan Wu himself, for who wouldn’t be wary of a man tall and burly enough to stand out in the Great Yan Dynasty, carrying an exaggeratedly large sword on his back?
How could they not be vigilant? Such a figure looked exactly like a bandit coming down from the mountains!
Time.
Passed by.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days had gone by. During this period, Fan Wu and his companions had spent almost all their time on the road. They would only stop in some counties for a few hours to rest before continuing their journey.
After a rest, they continued on their way. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"We’ve reached Guang’an Province," Liu Feng remarked at that moment with a sense of achievement. "It’s been seven or eight days, and it hasn’t been easy!"
"This is Guang’an Province? If we cross Guang’an Province and then another province to eliminate demons, we should be able to reach the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, right?" Yun Jiuqing asked curiously. "And after reaching the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, how many more provinces do we need to cross to get to the Shangwu Dynasty?"
Liu Feng explained, "There is only one province between the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty and the border of the Shangwu Dynasty."
Yun Jiuqing let out a sigh of relief. "That’s good; I thought we would have to traverse several more provinces."
"However..." She was like a person with a multitude of questions. "If the Shangwu Dynasty is so powerful, why is your Imperial City so close to them?"
Liu Feng replied, "Because not only is there a province in between, but there’s also a very wide strait! It’s not so simple for the people of the Shangwu Dynasty to attack the Great Yan Dynasty."
Essentially, a natural chasm separated the two Dynasties.
For the Great Yan Dynasty, this chasm was a natural fortification.
While the group chatted as they walked...
Liu Feng, who was leading the Destiny Coffin, suddenly came to an abrupt stop, and he nearly fell to the ground.
After managing to steady himself, he turned around in utter astonishment. "Why has the coffin stopped moving?"
"What happened?" Xing Fengzi asked.
Liu Feng pointed at the Destiny Coffin. "It... it seems to be having some issues."
"Oh?" Fan Wu also stopped.
All four, along with a bull, turned their attention to the Destiny Coffin.
They saw that the body of the Destiny Coffin
was trembling slightly.
When a small drawer sprang out from the coffin, Fan Wu immediately picked up the piece of parchment that lay inside, unfolding it to see.
On the parchment was a line of blood-red writing—I’m about to ripen.
Fan Wu: "???"
...
