The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 419 - 420 Thunder Dao, Thunder Flow!

When he reappeared, he was already high above the sea island.

He looked down at his feet!

From all directions of the coastline came the song of mermaids.

The sound was clear, melodious, and lingering.

"The sound is by the sea, yet there’s no sign of the mermaids!

*Is it like that Netherworld Ship, existing in two worlds?*

*Or have they disguised themselves as other deep sea demon beasts?"*

His True Profound Immortal Pupil activated, scanning the coastline.

Not finding the mermaids, he then scanned the sea island.

He examined inch by inch, but still found no mermaids.

"Could I have been wrong?"

Yang Yan considered for a moment, his brows furrowing.

The eyeless woman Bai Xue had said she’d seen mermaids.

She mentioned the time was when she attempted suicide deep in the sea!

But she didn’t say whether it was before or after the attempt.

If she saw the mermaid before her suicide, then it involved matters of the eyes and Root Bone.

Now that he had scanned the sea island and found no mermaids,

it was likely Bai Xue saw the mermaid after her suicide, when the mermaid appeared to save her!

And at that time, she could see the mermaids.

But if she could see the mermaids, why did she never seek them out thereafter?

All she got was two tears!

"It must have been after the suicide, the mermaid appeared, and she saw the mermaid!

*But without the Root Bone of the eyes, how would she find the mermaids? And where are they?"*

Yang Yan scanned the coastline, noting the mermaids’ song echoed out.

The sea surface rippled, and there were already some deep sea demon beasts by the coast.

As the song echoed, more deep sea demon beasts surfaced.

Listening to the melodious song, each appeared relaxed.

Some even crawled ashore, lying down beside the coast.

"Did they know today the mermaids would sing, thus came to listen?

Or did they come only after hearing the song?

*Whichever it is, it seems they don’t know where the mermaids are.*

*Otherwise, why would they linger here? They should all be searching for the mermaids."*

Yang Yan noticed among them were powerful deep sea demon beasts, clearly possessing spiritual wisdom.

Having heard the mermaids’ song, they had no reason not to seek them out.

Because, as the legend goes, not only are the mermaids’ tears Divine Medicine for the Human World,

their bodies also contain the immense power of the ocean.

Thus, they are referred to as the "daughters of the sea"!

Consuming them grants the power to control the ocean at will!

Equivalent to awakening an Innate Divine Ability!

Demon beasts with spiritual wisdom had no reason not to seek them out!

"Try another way, if eyes fail to see, perhaps listening can find them!" Yang Yan attempted another method.

He closed his eyes, listening intently to the song, trying to pinpoint its origin.

"It’s no use, the mermaid’s song is everywhere!

Wait, something’s not right!"

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he descended, standing on the sea island.

He picked up a conch shell, placing it by his ear.

In the song, there was also the sound of mermaids.

He clasped the shell with force, crushing it.

Inside was no mermaid, yet the broken shell continued to emit the mermaids’ song until it gradually faded away.

Yang Yan grabbed a handful of sand, putting it to his ear.

Within the sand, there was still a faint murmur of the mermaids’ song.

"I’ve figured it out. The song of the mermaids is contained within the island’s earth, transmitted through its ground.

Thus, the mermaids are within the island!" Yang Yan smiled.

When he said within the island, he didn’t mean hiding in the fishermen’s houses or among the trees.

He meant inside the island itself!

His True Profound Immortal Pupil turned, beams of light radiating out.

His eyes penetrated the surface of the island.

Trees, fine sand, soil, rock layers...

He could see to at least a kilometer below.

At the depth of a kilometer, he saw a deep cave.

Within the cave were tiny glimmers of light.

"The mermaids should be in there!"

With this thought, he didn’t follow the cave deeper.

Instead, he viewed the cave turning toward the sea level.

"That day, when the eyeless woman Bai Xue drowned in the Deep Sea, the mermaid saved her!

This proved the cave must have a path leading to the sea surface."

Moreover, the mermaid would also need food; it certainly wouldn’t stay in the island’s deepest reaches forever.

It would emerge to the sea surface, searching for food.

Hence, there must be one or even multiple paths leading outside!

"Found it!"

Yang Yan traced the cave, finding an exit.

It was an inconspicuous hole among the island’s rubble.

"Without these True Profound Immortal Eyes, who could see kilometers below the ground?

To discover the mermaids’ dwelling place!

And the legend was wrong, mermaids don’t sing by the shore!

This misled the village chief and Bai Xue, making them mistake my deduction!"

Although it didn’t match his initial speculation of using the Root Bone of the eyes to see the mermaids by the sea,

the outcome wasn’t much different!

His steps moved, heading towards the sea.

But before reaching the rubble area, he was stopped by a powerful deep sea demon beast.

This deep sea demon beast fixed its eyes on him, baring its terrifying fangs.

"Why challenge me instead of listening to the song?"

Crackle!

Brilliant Thunder emerged from him, instantly engulfing the deep sea demon beast blocking his way.

The beast’s physique and strength were completely consumed by him.

Yang Yan didn’t pause, stepping into the rubble area.

As soon as he entered, the mermaids’ song changed.

All previously docile, listening deep sea demon beasts charged toward him.

*"She sensed the threat, or perhaps she has ways of seeing the outside!*

*Only then did she use her song to awaken all the deep sea demon beasts."*

After all, the "daughter of the sea" was not an ordinary being!

"In that case, let me give a little demonstration of the change I’ve comprehended in Thunder Dao to control the Emperor Body!"

No sooner had he spoken than his body transformed into a lightning arc, darting through the attacking deep sea demon beasts in a blink.

Once he stood still, all the deep sea demon beasts behind him stopped in their tracks.

The wind blew, causing all the deep sea demon beasts’ bodies to ripple before they gently dispersed.

All those behind him were no longer tangible, only mere shadows.

With a breeze, they vanished!

The real entities, in an instant, were killed by Yang Yan and consumed.

"Thunder Dao, Thunder Flow!"

This was the Dao Skill Yang Yan exhibited by understanding Dao Heavenly Thunder in Thunder Dao and employing his Red Flame Thunderflow Emperor Body.

Of course!

This was but the simplest Dao Skill!

Thunder Dao was profound, still unentered by him. Once it was, it’d become even more terrifying!

Yang Yan arrived at the cave entrance, where the mermaids’ song abruptly stopped.

"Is this out of fear of me?"

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Yang Yan’s body turned into an electric arc, pouring into the narrow cave.

A kilometer took but a brief moment.

When he stood firm again, he was in a dimly lit cave.

Drip, drip!

The sound of water droplets falling on stones echoed in his ears!

Yang Yan’s gaze settled on the source of light.

It was a massive white shell, crystalline and large enough to fit several people.

The shell’s mouth was sealed, its interior shrouded in white mist, obscuring the exact scene within.

Yet with his True Profound Immortal Pupil, Yang Yan could easily see through the shell and pierce the white mist.

"Within the shell houses a Secret Realm!"

Inside the shell was a Secret Realm the size of a palace.

A bed, vanity, and several rooms were inside.

In the middle of the palace, there was a smooth Big Pearl.

"Mermaid?"

Scanning room by room, Yang Yan spotted the silhouette of a mermaid on a bed in one of the rooms.

She lay there, a quilt covering her head, her body trembling.

This mermaid was not large. Her upper body was humanoid, the lower half a silver fish tail.

She appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen, with light gold hair, very beautiful.

"Come out, and let’s talk," Yang Yan said.

Hearing his voice, the mermaid seemed even more terrified.

"No, you’re not a good person. You’ll eat me!"

Eat her?

"I don’t eat people!"

"Your aura is terrifying, I don’t believe you."

After speaking, the mermaid began to sing again.

The shell emitted a blinding white light, and two phantasmal figures appeared before him.

One was a scholarly young man dressed in azure, holding a bamboo scroll.

The other was an adult woman whose features closely resembled the mermaid in the shell.

"My daughter doesn’t like you. Please leave!" the woman’s ghostly image stated coldly upon appearing.

"Or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"Hey, Luoyun!"

Beside him, the scholarly youth with the bamboo scroll wore an affable expression.

He raised a hand, stopping the woman’s aggressive stance.

"I quite like this young man!"

"Huh?" the woman’s ghostly image glanced sideways, her gaze sharp.
