The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

Shen Pingkang, this Celestial Venerable of Immortality, has indeed revealed his true intentions in the end!

Although the mysterious Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin may not necessarily contain the remains of an immortal, no one is not curious about it and wants to explore its origins, especially someone like Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, who lived from the mythological era.

Ye Fan's heart sank. He looked at Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, and fell silent instantly!

Duan De, Shennong, Huangdi and the others exchanged glances and instantly became alert and on guard, as if they were ready to fight at any moment to protect the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin!

The Corpse Emperor, the Primordial God Emperor, Laozi, and others were also momentarily astonished when they looked at Shen Pingkang, the Longevity Celestial Venerable. But then they all felt that it was reasonable and justified, and no one wanted to miss the secrets of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

Immediately, the Corpse Emperor laughed and said, "As expected, the Heavenly Venerable is also curious about this Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. Indeed, since the mythological era, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin has appeared in the universe from time to time. Back then, many people chased after the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, wanting to enter the giant coffin to find out what was inside. But unfortunately, they either couldn't catch up or were blocked outside by the nine dragons pulling the coffin, and were unable to enter the giant coffin at all. No one knows what is inside this giant coffin!"

Since the age of mythology, countless celestial venerables and ancient emperors have been curious about the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, but ultimately no one has been able to enter the giant coffin! Not even an emperor!
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes flashed, and he instantly recalled the woodcutter he had encountered on the Emperor's Road. The woodcutter had left behind several paintings in the cave, the last of which depicted nine dragons pulling a coffin into the sky, soaring and traversing the cosmos.

Clearly, the old woodcutter was no ordinary man. He had witnessed the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Across the Sky, and might even have chased after them. Just as the Corpse Emperor said, since the age of mythology, many celestial venerables and ancient emperors had been curious and chased after the mysterious Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and the old woodcutter was perhaps just one of them.

At this moment, the Primordial God Emperor nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes! I have heard of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in ancient times. Some say that an immortal is buried in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, while others say that an unparalleled emperor is buried inside. When an emperor passes away in his later years, he should be like the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, entering the ancient coffin of the gods and being exiled to the cosmos!"

"It's a pity that I never saw the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin while I was alive, so naturally I never had the chance to enter the giant coffin and find out what's inside!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Heavenly Court became even more solemn. Even the Primordial God Emperor, who was relatively friendly to them, had expressed such a stance, indicating that this conflict was inevitable.

Ye Fan glanced at the impatient Corpse Emperor, then at the curious Primordial God Emperor, Zhang Bairen, Huang Ya'er, Huo Qizi, and others, as well as the eager Overlord, Dragon Girl, Golden Heavenly Girl, and others. His heart grew even heavier. It seemed that conflict surrounding the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was indeed inevitable.

Moreover, now that Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, is using the conditions he promised to coerce him into fulfilling his promise, how can he refuse?

However, he was extremely reluctant to lead the people of the Hall of Longevity into the giant coffin to find out what was going on. Although he did not know what secrets the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin held, he would not forget the Taoist sayings he heard from the giant coffin with the help of the Bodhi Seed when he first rode in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin!
Now, upon closer examination, those Daoist inscriptions are all extraordinary, some even containing the character for "Emperor." This demonstrates that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is indeed remarkable. The fact that the people from the Hall of Longevity entered the giant coffin and discovered these Daoist inscriptions was not what they had expected!
As Ye Fan hesitated and pondered, his eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, he shook his head and refused, saying, "Celestial Venerable! I cannot do it! This Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is not mine. It is controlled by that Empress. It belongs to someone else. How can I bring the Celestial Venerable into it?"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Emperor was startled, and the Primordial God Emperor also showed hesitation. Clearly, Ye Fan's mention of that Empress was indeed something to be wary of, since that Empress was indeed not easy to provoke, and the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was indeed under her control!

Everyone present knew the empress's temperament; she was extremely ruthless and domineering. Anyone who dared to covet her things had a death wish!

Duan De, Hei Huang, and the others were instantly shocked. Indeed, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin now belonged to that Empress. How could Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Venerable, and the others dare to act against it? Did they really want to start a war with that Empress? Hei Huang, Duan De, and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but recall when the Emperor's Tomb of the Yao Guang Holy Land was revealed. The ancient races entered it, wanting to seize the treasures, but almost all of them died there because they coveted something that did not belong to them.

Thinking of this, Duan De couldn't help but tremble, because he had dug up the Empress's former dojo and obtained the lid of the Devouring Demon Jar. If it were up to the Empress's personality, he would probably be dead long ago!

Therefore, it's best not to covet what belongs to that empress, otherwise you should be prepared to go to war with her!

And at this very moment, it is the same. She controls the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, so anyone who covets the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin must get past her!
Thinking of this, the Corpse Emperor, the Primordial God Emperor, and the others couldn't help but look at Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, wanting to see his decision: would he give up or persist, even at the cost of provoking the Empress and fighting her?

Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, remained unmoved, only looking at Ye Fan, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Fan, you can! As long as you want, you can take me into the giant coffin to explore. The Empress will not stop you!"

He paused, then looked at the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron above Ye Fan's head, and chuckled again, "Such a precious item as the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, that Empress just gave it away like that!"

"She gave you the Immortal Treasure Map that originally belonged to her!"

"She even sought out the Dao-Merging Flower, which is a rare sight even once in millions of years, to prepare for your path to enlightenment!"

"So, Ye Fan, you only asked her to take me into the giant coffin to explore, how could she possibly disagree?"

"I'm not trying to possess or seize this Nine Dragons Coffin; I just want to go inside the giant coffin and explore what's inside!"

"Does this mean, Ye Fan, you're not going to keep your promise and are going to break it for your own gain?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly, but he was speechless!

Even he felt that if he wanted to take Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, into the giant coffin to explore, the Empress might not refuse!
After all, he could freely enter and exit the desolate forbidden land, pick sacred fruits, obtain the source root of all things' mother energy in the Emperor's Tomb of the Yao Guang Sacred Land, and harvest the Immortal Treasure Map and the True Dragon Immortal Elixir in the Emperor's Coffin of the Myriad Dragon Nest. The Harmony Flower was also given to him by that Empress, helping him to truly attain the Dao!

Therefore, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, is right. If Ye Fan wants to, the Empress probably won't stop him!

But did he want to? Ye Fan didn't!
