Chapter 1458 (Raw 1438): Flying High in the Air

Immortal Venerate Ming Yue and Immortal Venerate Tian Yi stared silently at the pool of blood, in awe of the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady.

At the same time, they felt that this situation was not easy to deal with. The Void Hell Flower and the Extreme Yang True Flame were in a delicate balance. One was extreme Yin and the other was extreme Yang. If the balance was broken, it would result in an explosion.

Given the thousands of flowers on the lake, if an explosion happened, the consequences would be dire.

Furthermore, this was just what appeared on the surface. No one knew whether there were other restrictions on the coffin itself.

"Should we give it a try first?" one of the six disciples behind the Immortal Venerates asked as he stepped forward.

These six were here as something like a deathsworn warrior. Along the way, many of them used their lives to break the restrictions. Otherwise, they would not have broken through so many restrictions so quickly.

From the initial hundred men, only six were left. The rest had died. However, they did not feel any regrets.

If this group of Immortal Cultivators could obtain the method to cultivate as Ghost Immortals, all the Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea would have a form of release.

Since they could not become Celestial Immortals, they would become Ghost Immortals. As long as they could become Immortals, it would be sufficient.

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi shook his head and said, "There's no need. I'll do it myself."

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi, the strongest of the Penglai Sea, had reached the Void Training Stage long ago.

Unfortunately, this was the Martial Epoch. No matter how talented or strong Immortal Venerate Tian Yi was, he would never properly step on the Immortal Path.

After forming hand seals, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi thrust a finger forward.

Boundless Magic Energy gathered at Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's fingertip and shone with dazzling spiritual light. Then, the Magic Energy scattered like the cool breeze.

The Magic Energy drifted to every flower petal of the Void Hell Flowers. Immortal Venerate Tian Yi did not dare to be careless as he slowly raised his hand.

The Void Hell Flowers on the blood lake looked like they were slowly being pulled by something invisible, floating up peacefully and quietly.

Soon, the air was filled with flower petals carrying the Extreme Yang True Flame.

The Void Hell Flower and Extreme Yang True Flame existing in a delicate balance were not damaged at all.

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi did not relax his expression. His right hand slowly rose higher, controlling the Void Hell Flowers' ascent.

"Boom!"

Amid the quiet atmosphere, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's left hand suddenly attacked. A spot of light flashed like lightning erupting out.

Success and defeat depended on this move. All the white flower petals in the air shook, and the many flames flickered. They looked like they would explode at any time.

When the commotion was over, everything came to a stop. The disciples behind carefully looked over.

Only then did they discover that there was an ancient lamp above all the Void Hell Flowers. The ancient lamp gave off a myriad of bright rays of light that pulled all the Void Hell Flowers like tentacles, not letting them descend.

"This ancient lamp of mine can last for an hour. After one hour, the flowers will fall. The consequences will be dire. Hence, we must act fast. We have only one hour," Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said with a grave expression. Fatigue darkened his eyes. Clearly, his earlier actions had drained his mind.

"Go!"

A sense of urgency flooded everyone's mind. With Immortal Venerate Tian Yi at the lead, the group traveled on the water, heading for the coffin in the middle of the blood pool.

While above this lake formed by the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring, no one dared to look down at the lake water.

After a while, the group arrived before the coffin. The heavy coffin did not have any dust on it at all, looking as clean as it was when it was first made.

The four corners of the coffin were pinned down by red nails. Both ends had a talisman pasted on.

"Pa!"

Immortal Venerate Ming Yue stretched out his hand and heavily struck the top of the coffin. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The coffin nails shot out.

The six disciples behind moved very quickly, using various means to catch the coffin nails.

Now that all the coffin nails came out, the only remaining obstruction was the two talismans sealing the coffin. The two Immortal Venerates each stood at an end and studied the talismans carefully to find the perfect way to break the seal.

"Immortal Sealing Talisman!"

After a while, the two Immortal Venerates cried out nearly at the same time, greatly startled. They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. They started to show some hesitation.

The Immortal Sealing Talisman was not a very powerful talisman. However, its history was astonishing.

During the Immortal Epoch, the Immortal Sealing Talisman was normally used for sealing forbidden existences. They were the highest rank of talismans among sealing talismans.

Its name of Immortal Seal did not refer to it being used to seal Immortals. Instead, it was a reference to its strong sealing powers that could even inspire fear in Immortals.

There were very few things that were sealed with the Immortal Sealing Talisman. Furthermore, the refining method of this Immortal Sealing Talisman was extremely difficult, even during the Immortal Epoch.

At this moment, when the two Immortal Venerates saw the Immortal Sealing Talismans, they hesitated as they gazed at the coffin.

What if something ominous was sealed inside? Once they tore off the talismans, the results would be unpredictable.

Instead of the method to cultivate as a Ghost Immortal, they might end up losing their lives here. That way, they would not only make a great loss but would even bring on a huge disaster.

"Tian Yi, what should we do?!"

Immortal Venerate Ming Yue looked at Immortal Venerate Tian Yi and asked him to decide. At this point, things already surpassed their expectations. He could only let Immortal Venerate Tian Yi make the decision.

Give up? Or Gamble?

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi felt conflicted. Along the way, the initial hundred-strong team had sacrificed itself for the sake of breaking the restrictions, leaving only eight.

The specially refined Ghost ship also used up a thousand years of the Penglai Sea's time.

All these were done for the sake of entering the Mirage Immortal Palace first. Everything had gone smoothly. They would not be satisfied with stopping now, at the final step.

"Open!" Immortal Venerate Tian Yi stopped hesitating and decided.

"Has the thought of the Treasure Master cheating us crossed your mind? Perhaps the method of cultivating as a Ghost Immortal is not in there," Immortal Venerate Ming Yue asked suddenly just as Immortal Venerate Tian Yi was about to tear off the Immortal Sealing Talisman.

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi shook his head and replied, "He didn't. The Treasure Master used an Oath Stone. If he had lied, he would have been killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. The two of us are quickly approaching our limits. If we do not become Immortals, we will die. More importantly, the three million Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea require a hope!"

"Pu ci!"

Right then, water splashed up from the scarlet lake. A head popped out. This person was Xiao Chen, who had swum all the way here while holding his breath.

After surfacing, Xiao Chen immediately saw the two Immortal Venerates and six Great Multiplication Stage cultivators surrounding the black coffin.

Snatch my coffin over. You cannot let them tear off the Immortal Sealing Talismans! The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's voice rang out beside Xiao Chen's ear. He squinted and saw that there was indeed a talisman at each end of the coffin.

Without delay, Xiao Chen leaped out of the water like a fish and headed for the coffin.

"Block him!"

The sudden appearance of Xiao Chen startled the two Immortal Venerates. Then, they quickly issued an order. The six Immortal Cultivators extended their hands and sent out their Magic Treasures to press down on Xiao Chen.

The first one was a flying sword. Such Magic Treasures possessed sharp attacks and the fastest speed.

It looked like a simple small sword, but it could easily split mountains and seas.

"Void Breaking Stance!"

Xiao Chen held Pride and executed the Flawless Saber Technique. As he hacked with the saber, he materialized a boundless Saber Might. "Dang!" He knocked the flying sword high in the air.

The rebound numbed Xiao Chen's arm, impeding the movement of his right hand.

"My Spirit Light Sword!" Seeing the Magic Treasure getting sent flying and losing all Spiritual Energy shocked the Immortal Cultivator who owned it.

After the flying sword came a four-legged cauldron, a resplendent pearl, an electric web, and a couple of other Magic Treasures. The five of them arrived together.

The cultivations of these six Immortal Cultivators were not low, all of them Great Multiplication Stage cultivators. Their Magic Treasures had been tempered time and time again, frequently nourished by their Qi and blood. They were all their life Magic Treasures.

When they worked together, even a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor would have to dodge the attack.

However, when facing Immortal Cultivators, once one retreated, getting back close would be extremely difficult.

"Heaven Swallowing Stance!"

Fighting spirit blazed in Xiao Chen's eyes. The weapon in his hand changed out to the Seven Deadly Sins' Gluttony. He executed the seventh move of the Flawless Saber Technique—the Heaven Swallowing Stance.

This move possessed a boundless might, representing Xiao Chen's ambition with the Flawless Saber Technique—to swallow the heavens. This Saber Technique could swallow any Martial Technique, burying them in the vast Flawless Dao.

A saber light chopped out, and Xiao Chen's body shone with boundless light. Every beam of light represented a mystery of the Flawless Saber Technique.

The light gathered into a sea of Dao. Together with the saber light Xiao Chen brandished, the sea turned into a huge mouth that could swallow the heavens. In an instant, it swallowed all the Magic Treasures flying over.

"How can this be?!"

The five Immortal Cultivators immediately got cut off from their Magic Treasures, the loss disconcerting them.

"Scatter!"

Xiao Chen could not care about the six Immortal Cultivators too much, charging straight through. When he got close, he flung his sleeve out and swept them away.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. The two Immortal Venerates had used their various means and nearly torn off the Immortal Sealing Talismans already.

They would be done in the time it took for a spark to fly. Xiao Chen did not have much time to think. So he flew over and kicked, sending the coffin high in the air and spinning.
