How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 249: Searching for Remnants Thousands of Miles Away
Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Searching for Remnants Thousands of Miles Away
All her actions, all her words, supported this adjustment...
She is an Awakener of the Elf Race!
The Narans Family is a family of Elf bloodline!
Whether Elf or Spirit Clan, in movies and TV shows, they rarely have antagonistic roles; they mostly appear very positive.
If the TV law of "beauty equals justice" holds, she appears very "just".
Her appearance at Criss Manor that day was hard to explain initially, but her brief explanation was flawless.
She just used the Nine Headed Snake for their relationship.
It was a cooperation-based effort to obtain the Blood Coffin Key.
The person inside the Blood Coffin is called Princess Qian Ling.
She guarded the stronghold for the Human Clan, was severely injured, and passively became a remnant...
A very tragic story.
And it’s verified by the ancient sheepskin.
According to Lin’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, there are no signs of forgery on it.
So, it appears that this Awakener of the Elf Clan is indeed trustworthy, and even her ancestor buried in the Blood Coffin can be trusted—the Spirit Clan princess who guarded the border town for the Human Clan naturally carries a just aura.
She also offered an irresistible condition to Lin Xiaosu...
Don’t get it wrong, this condition wasn’t for Lin Xiaosu to play that night’s tricks with her. Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan have fresh abalone every day; they aren’t that hungry...
The condition is: the Narans Family could become his hidden card in Luoba State.
Lin Xiaosu naturally knew how valuable this hidden card would be in the heart of the Nine Headed Snake’s base.
However, everything is just what she says!
There’s no flaw in her words...
But just because there are no flaws, does it mean she must be trusted?
Not necessarily...
However, none of this hinders their actions.
The Blood Coffin must be found!
But whether to open it or not is a matter of personal decision!
Blood Coffin, remnant plan...
This is really a new term that suddenly popped up...
Previously, Lin Xiaosu only knew that demons lurked overseas, the natives were uneasy, and the Ancient Wilderness was about to break the boundary. He never thought there were scattered Blood Coffins with an ancient grand plan buried in the mountains and underground rocks...
Suddenly!
Lin Xiaosu’s heart trembled greatly!
He thought of something!
Last time in the Southern Border, he got a piece of jade from Miss Zhou from the Zhou Family, that cold-faced lady, Zhou Qin.
The Zhou Family had him appraise this jade.
With his Primordial Spirit, he saw strong death aura inside.
He warned the Zhou Family that this jade should not be opened!
Zhou Qin didn’t believe it and opened the jade anyway, almost dying...
From this cracked jade, he found a micro coffin.
The coffin had strong death aura but also absolute vitality!
Sealing a living creature in jade was unheard of.
But combined with this suddenly revealed remnant plan...
Could this micro coffin also be a remnant?
If so, it would completely make sense.
The ancient remnant plan buried remnants everywhere.
With the changes of the earth’s crust, vicissitudes of life, volcanic eruptions, magma wrapping, high temperature and pressure or low pressure, jade was formed...
Time can create all kinds of wonders!
Lin Xiaosu spread out his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit and entered the Secret Realm.
The micro coffin floated eerily in the void.
The death aura emanated from the coffin itself.
Upon closer inspection, it indeed seemed to be seeping blood, but not fresh blood. Instead, it was black with a hint of dark red...
A bright red coffin is called a Blood Coffin.
Who said a dark red one isn’t called a Blood Coffin?
As the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit slowly approached, the silver fish became increasingly uneasy, seemingly sensing danger.
Suddenly, a powerful force pulled, and the Heavenly Dao Silver Fish was about to lose control.
Lin Xiaosu was greatly shocked, focused all his consciousness, and firmly held onto the Heavenly Dao Silver Fish.
He finally stabilized it, pulling the Heavenly Dao Silver Fish out of the coffin’s vortex...
He broke out in a cold sweat...
Losing control of the Heavenly Dao Silver Fish was an experience he had never encountered.
Luckily, he managed to stop it.
This was probably what Hua Miaoyi mentioned: the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit was not something a cultivator gained through their own cultivation; it came by chance and has flaws. The biggest flaw is that the control over the body is greatly reduced. If not careful, it might run away!
Now he experienced it!
One experiment, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Xiaosu didn’t dare to try again...
But his belief was further solidified...
Perhaps this Blood Coffin is indeed a remnant.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so terrifying.
Each remnant is a great ancient power; whether it’s a blessing or a curse is completely unknown...
What about the one on himself?
What could it bring him?
Lin Xiaosu remained uncertain...
Perhaps he would need to wait until his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit became stronger before he could investigate closely...
The high-speed rail journey took just five hours.
Boarded in the morning, arrived under the setting sun.
Honghe Valley of Chuannan Province.
Catherine wasn’t familiar with Daxia Country’s geography, but based on the spatial coordinates from the ring, Lin Xiaosu compared it with the map of Daxia to get this answer.
The answer was correct.
After disembarking the high-speed rail, Catherine relocated the area; it was just a hundred miles away.
After confirming the location, Lin Xiaosu checked the map again, his heart slightly stirred...
That place, according to the map’s marking, was somewhere he had once visited: Lao Mountain!
Lao Mountain, mysterious and unpredictable.
His first mission with Qianlong was to Lao Mountain.
After that, another matter drew his attention back to Lao Mountain.
It was that Purple magic Stone.
This Purple magic Stone was obtained from Lao Mountain.
He didn’t know the exact location, but Lao Mountain itself was a place with extremely chaotic spatial orientation...
Some say Lao Mountain is the entrance to the Demon World!
Demon World...
Demon is a self-defined term. Depending on one’s standpoint, the definition of demon varies.
He couldn’t determine what this demon referred to.
Maybe it’s the Ancient Wilderness, maybe the Earth’s core, maybe an ancient Daoist place, but could it be... a coffin?
On the way to Lao Mountain by taxi, Catherine was very nervous.
To ease her nerves, she held Lin Xiaosu’s hand.
Lin Xiaosu, being a rejuvenation child, actually found it quite comfortable to hold hands, especially in the cold season where holding hands brought warmth...
Upon reaching Lao Mountain, they stayed for a night.
That night they stayed in a resort hotel in the scenic area of Lao Mountain. According to Catherine, they could share a room.
If Lin Xiaosu had that intention, she probably wouldn’t oppose fulfilling her promise.
To use her body to smooth the upcoming exploration path was not a big hurdle for her.
But Lin Xiaosu was serious at this moment and booked two rooms.
He was different from Catherine.
Fundamentally different.
Unclear enemies wouldn’t lead to intimacy first.
Happy and carefree feast on the bed, turn around for life and death struggle; did she think he was a jerk? (Readers spray tea on their screens: Meh, can you say you’re not?!)
Handsome brother Lin still has some principles...
The next day!
The weather was clear!
They entered Lao Mountain!
After entering Lao Mountain, Catherine realized that the weather didn’t matter at all.
Ten miles into the mountain, the weather changed three times.
Sunny, foggy, cloudy, then sunny again, as if a mischievous child was playing with the seasonal clock, showing random changes...
Luckily, the ring in their hands was reliable.
The distance indicated was shortening.
Twenty kilometers!
Ten kilometers!
Five thousand meters...
Suddenly, a deep pool appeared ahead.
The water was emerald green, an unnaturally enchanting green.
In the deep mountains, green water is much more frightening than yellow water!
Green water may look beautiful, but this beauty conceals immeasurable danger. The depth may be utterly unimaginable, producing the green hue.
With his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, Lin Xiaosu observed this pool and marveled at its unfathomable depth.
Ordinary eyes could see three feet beneath, while his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye could see around ten meters.
Ten meters deep, and he still couldn’t see the bottom.
Using his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit, he saw big fish underwater.
There were even creatures that didn’t quite look like fish, swimming rapidly.
These were of no concern to him.
His attention lay on the Blood Coffin five thousand meters ahead...
The ring indicated their destination was five thousand meters away...
"The indicated place is that valley!" said Catherine.
"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu replied, "Shall we go around or directly across?"
A deep pool blocked their way forward.
They could go around, but with no common people around, perhaps there’s no need.
"Let’s go across!" said Catherine.
"Alright!" Lin Xiaosu lightly tapped his foot, leaping into the air, over the twenty-meter-wide pool, landing on the treetop.
Catherine praised, "Nice movement technique!"
She stepped into the void...
Just as she was about to step into the air, a tree branch grew horizontally, she accurately landed on it, and then stepped again as the branch continued to grow.
Over the 20-meter water expanse, she walked in the void, while the branches of an old tree on the shore followed her, ensuring each step she took landed on a branch.
Once over, the tree Lin Xiaosu had landed on extended a snake-like branch, Catherine stepped on it, and the lengthy branch behind her gradually shortened.
Soon, the trees on both sides returned to normal.
Lin Xiaosu’s gaze flickered: "This magical technique truly transcends the ordinary!"
Catherine gently smiled: "The Elf Race has lived in the forest for generations, and flora of all kinds are our friends."
"Let’s go!"
With a swift wind under their feet, it seemed like they were riding the wind.
The ring’s spectrum shortened.
It appeared increasingly urgent.
Under a cliff ahead, a valley emerged in their sight.
This valley seemed untouched by humans for ages.
The grass was bizarrely green.
The water was bizarrely green.
Amid the greenery, white bones were faintly visible.
Not human bones, but the bones of wild beasts.
Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath, his expression changing slightly: "The valley is dense with death aura."
"No worries!... I have a special protective shield that can isolate all death aura." Catherine took out two masks.
These masks were identical.
She put on one, handing the other to Lin Xiaosu.
Lin Xiaosu smiled gently, taking the mask.
"Put it on!" Catherine also smiled brightly, as the mask covered her delicate face.
Lin Xiaosu lightly reached out, helping her adjust it, and said, "You really are very considerate."
Catherine giggled, "You men of Daxia are indeed gentle. After this, I might truly want to build a better relationship with you."
"I believe you will! Certainly!" Lin Xiaosu smiled as he put on his mask.
