The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

At this moment, Ye Fan is caught in a dilemma!
He didn't want to bring Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, into the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin to explore its secrets!
However, he also did not want to go back on his word. They had indeed been defeated in the battle of the Mythical Battlefield, and he had indeed agreed to several conditions. Now that Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, had made a request, he was making all sorts of excuses. Wouldn't that be going back on his word?

Most importantly, what would be the consequences if he went back on his word? Would Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, be enraged and start a war over this?
But as I said before, the Heavenly Court is not ready to start a war! It is not advisable to escalate the conflict before we are ready to fight!
With this thought in mind, Ye Fan took a deep breath and looked at Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, and said in a deep voice, "Celestial Venerable, it's not that I want to go back on my word, but please allow me to consult with that Empress first!"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Emperor, the Primordial God Emperor, and the others frowned, because they all knew that the Empress was powerful, domineering, and ruthless, and it was almost impossible to get her to give in!

Only Shen Pingkang remained noncommittal. He looked at Ye Fan with a very serious expression and said, "Ye Fan, why go to all this trouble? You're just taking me into the coffin for a quick look. Right now, the Empress is probably watching right here. If she really disagrees, she will naturally come out of the Northern Dipper Ancient Forbidden Land to stop you. There's no need for you to ask for permission!"

Upon hearing his words, the people from the Heavenly Court and the Hall of Longevity couldn't help but have a slight change in expression. After a moment's thought, it was indeed true that when Ye Fan was in the critical moment of his Emperor Tribulation, the Empress was able to send him the Harmony Flower in time to help him truly attain the Dao. This showed that the Empress had indeed been watching over this place all along.

Therefore, if she really disagrees with Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, entering the giant coffin, she will naturally come out of the Northern Dipper Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to stop her!

Ye Fan was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the Big Dipper in the universe, and then nodded and smiled with difficulty: "After all, which empress controls the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin? It would be best to ask for permission before entering the giant coffin!"

Shen Pingkang chuckled lightly, seemingly confident, and nodded, saying, "Then go ahead and ask! I'll say it again, if you want it, that Empress might not refuse!"

The reason he was so confident was not only because of Ye Fan's special relationship with the Empress, but also because the Empress was unlikely to refuse Ye Fan!

Another reason is that the current empress has not yet become an immortal. Her Dao fruit, physical body, and divine soul are separate, and her strength is not at its peak. If a war were to break out, it would probably interrupt her path to immortality!

She might not be willing to interrupt her cultivation and really fight him to the death!
Moreover, inside the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, besides the incomplete Immortal Realm constructed by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the method for constructing the Immortal Realm, there is nothing else. As long as Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, doesn't intend to seize or possess the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, it wouldn't matter if he showed it to him; nothing would be missing.

As for Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, seeing the incomplete Immortal Realm he constructed and obtaining the method to construct an Immortal Realm, so what? Even she herself, over countless millennia, could not construct an Immortal Realm using this method, and she did not believe that Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, could do it!

Because this world and universe is already in the post-ancient era, the Great Dao is not manifest, cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, and there is simply no condition to build an immortal realm!
Therefore, Shen Pingkang believed that the empress would not refuse Ye Fan!

As expected, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then took out the Devouring Demon Jar, muttered a few words to it, and a message emanated from its surface as demonic light flowed: "You decide for yourself!"

Ye Fan stared at the Devouring Demon Jar in silence for a long time. His response was as if the Empress didn't care about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin at all, as if it didn't matter to her if Ye Fan took Shen Pingkang, the Longevity Celestial Venerable, into the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin to find out what was going on!

Moreover, this reply also proves that what Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, said earlier was correct; if he wanted to, the Empress would indeed not refuse!
At this moment, Shen Pingkang had been watching Ye Fan, watching him ask the Devouring Demon Jar for instructions. After waiting for a long time, seeing that Ye Fan remained silent and that the Empress had not come from the Northern Dipper Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to this edge of the universe, he instantly understood something.

He couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Ye Fan, how was it? What did the Empress say?"

Immediately, the people from the Heavenly Court and the Hall of Longevity all turned to look at Ye Fan, eager to know the Empress's response.

The people of Heaven were somewhat nervous. If the Empress refused and Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, continued to pester them, then they should prepare for war! The people of the Hall of Longevity were equally uneasy. What should they do if the Empress refused? Should they try to seize the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?

Ye Fan looked at Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, with a complicated expression, and sighed in a deep voice, "The Celestial Venerable is indeed formidable! You also anticipated the Empress's reaction!"

Upon hearing this, both the people from the Heavenly Court and the Palace of Longevity were stunned. Had the Empress agreed? Had the Empress actually conceded? How could this be?!
Black Emperor, Duan De, and the others found it unbelievable. They exchanged glances and stared wide-eyed!
Shennong, Huangdi, and others frowned in thought, remaining silent.

The Corpse Emperor, the Primordial God Emperor, Laozi, and the others seemed to understand something!
It seems that the empress may not care much about the nine dragons pulling the coffin, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted this way.

So, what exactly is inside this mysterious nine-dragon coffin? Or perhaps there is nothing at all? That's why the empress seemed so indifferent!

The Corpse Emperor, the Primordial God Emperor, and others frowned, their hearts filled with restlessness, eager to enter the giant coffin and find out what was inside!
However, at this moment, Ye Fan glanced at the restless Corpse King and the others, and said in a deep voice, "However, I only agreed to a few conditions from the Heavenly Venerable, but not to them. Therefore, I can only take the Heavenly Venerable into the giant coffin to explore. As for the others, that's not possible!"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse King angrily retorted, "What do you mean? Can't we follow them into the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?"

Ye Fan nodded without hesitation!
The Corpse King, wielding the divine bow, roared in fury: "You're courting death!"

Shennong, Huangdi, and others silently stepped forward to confront the Corpse King, as if they were about to make a move at any moment!
Ye Fan, however, turned his gaze to Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, and asked, "Celestial Venerable, what do you say?"

Upon hearing the question, Shen Pingkang looked at him intently, nodded, and smiled, "Alright! As you say, I will go into the giant coffin with you!"

The Corpse Emperor cried out urgently, "Heavenly Venerable!"

Shen Pingkang gave him a warning look and said coldly, "I will go into the giant coffin to find out what's inside. When I come out, I will tell you fellow Daoists what's inside the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. What? Fellow Daoist Corpse Emperor doesn't believe me?"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse King was startled. Although his expression remained unwilling, he still said, "I dare not! I naturally believe in the Heavenly Venerable!"

Shen Pingkang nodded and said, "That's good! Let's talk about it when I get out!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Fan, saying, "Let's go!"

Ye Fan nodded silently, said nothing more, and turned to head towards the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin behind him!

This time, with Ye Fan by his side, the nine dragons pulling the coffin did not react violently and remained completely calm. In an instant, the two of them stepped onto the body of the coffin. Then, Ye Fan opened the closed coffin again with one hand, and he and Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, instantly entered the coffin!
