Ye Qiu saw the golden coffin charging straight at him. He knew he was no match for it, but he still chose to fight back.
Ye Qiu instantly activated the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Art while summoning his ten great cave heavens and hundreds of dragon qi strands. Brilliant light immediately burst from his body.
The next moment, he tried to summon the four Qiankun cauldrins, only to suddenly discover that all four lay motionless inside his Qiankun pouch, as if they had lost all connection with him.
Even the Xuanyuan Sword refused to respond.
At this point, Ye Qiu’s entire body was locked in place. He could only watch helplessly as the golden coffin bore down on him.
“It’s over. This coffin is going to take me.”
“Who would have thought that after a lifetime of brilliance, I would end up like this?”
“I’m not willing…”
BOOM!
The next second, Ye Qiu was enveloped by that terrifying pressure. He felt as though he was about to be crushed to pieces.
“Sister Lin, see you in the next life…”
In utter despair, Ye Qiu closed his eyes.
However, after a while, Ye Qiu realised the pressure had vanished. Only then did he open his eyes and find himself completely unharmed.
“I’m not dead?”
“What’s going on?”
Ye Qiu was stunned. He looked around and saw that the surroundings remained unchanged, except the golden coffin had disappeared.
“Where did that coffin go?”
Ye Qiu felt puzzled. After carefully scanning the area, he could not detect the slightest trace of the golden coffin in the air. It was as if the golden coffin had never existed.
“Little fox…”
Ye Qiu had barely spoken when the little white fox cut him off.
“Ye Changsheng, let me say it again. I am not a little fox. I am a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox!”
“Fine, I don’t care what breed you are. Tell me, did you see that golden coffin?”
The little white fox nodded. “I saw it.”
“Where did it go?” Ye Qiu asked quickly.
The little white fox replied, “If you want to know, you have to promise me one thing…”
SLAP!
Before the little white fox could finish, Ye Qiu delivered a hard smack to its backside.
“Oh~ that feels good.” The little white fox looked utterly satisfied.
Pervert.
Ye Qiu cursed inwardly and said, “Hurry up and tell me.”
The little white fox answered, “I saw the golden coffin burrow into your right eye.”
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Ye Qiu found it hard to believe. Putting aside the enormous size of the golden coffin, even if it really had entered his eye, he should have felt something.
The little white fox said, “If you don’t believe me, check for yourself.”
Ye Qiu closed his eyes. The next second, he was shocked to discover that the golden coffin really was hidden deep inside his right eye.
Only now, the coffin had shrunk to an extremely tiny size, like a speck of dust.
Shock soon gave way to joy.
“Could it be that this golden coffin has acknowledged me as its master? Have I obtained the supreme opportunity of Immortality Mountain?”
With that thought, Ye Qiu decided to test it. He focused his mind and silently commanded, “Come out.”
He wanted to summon the golden coffin.
Yet the golden coffin did not move at all. There was no reaction.
“What’s going on?”
Ye Qiu called again, “Come out!”
Still nothing. No matter what Ye Qiu tried, the golden coffin gave no response.
“Damn it. If I can’t use it, why did it go into my eye?”
Ye Qiu grew irritated.
At that moment, the little white fox spoke up. “Ye Changsheng, congratulations on obtaining a supreme opportunity.”
“Congratulations my foot.” Ye Qiu snapped angrily.
“What’s wrong? Who upset you? Why do you look so unhappy?” the little white fox asked, puzzled.
Ye Qiu explained, “Just as you said, it really is inside my right eye, but it won’t obey me. No matter what I do, it doesn’t react at all.”
“You’re upset just because of that?” The little white fox laughed. “Ye Changsheng, don’t be depressed.”
“The reason it isn’t responding is that you haven’t gained its full recognition yet.”
Ye Qiu asked, “If I haven’t gained its full recognition, why is it staying in my right eye?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it wants to test you!” the little white fox said. “However, the fact it’s willing to follow you means you’ve already earned part of its approval.”
“Ye Changsheng, although you haven’t gained any real benefit yet, with this coffin on you, from now on you can do whatever you want in the cultivation world.”
“Of course, your current cultivation is too weak, so it’s best not to reveal the coffin’s existence.”
“As the old saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty.”
“If others learn that the coffin is with you, even Saint-level experts would be unable to resist trying to seize it.”
Hearing the little white fox’s words, Ye Qiu asked, “Little fox, how do you know so much about the golden coffin?”
“What exactly is its origin?”
“Tell me quickly.”
The little white fox said mysteriously, “Ye Changsheng, don’t be impatient. When the time is right, you will naturally come to know everything.”
Ye Qiu shouted, “Bloody hell, stop keeping me in suspense. Are you asking for a beating?”
The little white fox immediately raised its backside and said excitedly, “Hit me quickly! I beg you!”
Ye Qiu was speechless.
He truly could not understand why this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox enjoyed being abused.
The little white fox giggled and continued, “Ye Changsheng, seriously, I’m even tempted to rob you right now.”
“You have four Qiankun cauldrins and one Xuanyuan Sword. Although the Xuanyuan Sword has no sword spirit, it is still the number one divine sword of ancient times.”
“Now you’ve also obtained the golden coffin. Tsk tsk tsk, you’re practically a walking treasure vault!”
Huh?
Astonishment flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
Earlier, when he fought Wuhua, he had summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and shrouded it in golden light so outsiders could not see its true appearance. Even Wuhua had not recognised the sword’s origin.
Yet unexpectedly, the little white fox not only recognised the Xuanyuan Sword but also knew it lacked a sword spirit.
Moreover, how did it know those four cauldrins were Qiankun cauldrins?
If a transcendent expert recognised divine artefacts, Ye Qiu would not be surprised, but the little white fox’s current cultivation was lower than his own. How had it identified them?
Seeing the look on Ye Qiu’s face, the little white fox said, “Ye Changsheng, are you wondering how I recognise the Xuanyuan Sword and the Qiankun cauldrins?”
“Exactly.” Ye Qiu asked, “How do you know?”
The little white fox smiled and replied, “Because this… person is the all-knowing gossip master of the cultivation world, widely experienced and knowledgeable about everything.”
THUNK!
Ye Qiu flicked the little white fox hard on the forehead and said with a dark expression, “Will you die if you don’t brag?”
“Hmph, Ye Changsheng, you hit me again.” The little white fox pouted unhappily and muttered, “I was going to tell you something, but now I’ve decided not to.”
Ye Qiu said, “Do you think I want to hear it?”
“You don’t want to hear it? Not even if it concerns the Qiankun cauldrins?” the little white fox huffed. “Since you don’t want to hear it, I’ll tell you anyway.”
“Ye Changsheng, I know the whereabouts of the fifth Qiankun cauldron!”
