Chapter 269 The Moon Goddess, Why Bother with All the Twists and Turns?

Upon seeing the person inside the coffin, Yu Que paused slightly in his actions of opening the coffin.

But then, there was a loud bang!
The lid of the jade coffin was immediately overturned and fell heavily to the side, completely exposing the female corpse inside.

She lay in the jade coffin, her body radiating a chilling aura, which was none other than the purest and most refined Yin energy of the Nine Netherworlds.

The female corpse had delicate, lustrous features and did not look like a dead person at all.

Yu Que looked at the other person and thought he was seeing a living person asleep.

He boldly probed the area with his divine sense, carefully examined it, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There was no sign of life inside the jade coffin; the person inside was clearly a corpse.

However, even if it is a corpse, one should not be careless.

After all, lying in such pure Yin energy, the physical body remains incorruptible and could easily turn into a zombie. At that point, the opponent would be even more troublesome than a living person.

Just as Yu Que was pondering how to prepare the exquisite female corpse in front of him, his gaze suddenly shifted, and he immediately withdrew seven-tenths of his attention from the female corpse and looked to the side.

Inside the jade coffin that had fallen to the ground, there were densely packed characters engraved on it, the characters resembling tadpoles, which were the ancient secret script of the Daoist realm.

Yu Que became interested in this.

He remained vigilant about the female corpse in the coffin, and instead of rushing to deal with the pure Yin energy inside, he flashed to the jade coffin lid and examined the secret inscriptions on it one by one.

This thing is different from ordinary writing. A single character can often have more than ten interpretations, and the shape of the character is mysterious. Not only does the shape itself contain a certain principle, but the immortals imprinted them in their minds. They can also combine and change on their own, giving rise to mysteries.

Back when Yu Que was in the Nine Dragons Waterfall Secret Realm, he experienced firsthand the wonder of the ancient secret texts.

It was from the secret text of the Nine Dragon Waterfall that he obtained the foundational sword technique of the Taiyin Sword Sect.

However, having learned from past mistakes, Yu Que knew there might be pitfalls in the secret text. He did not rashly refine the item into his spiritual platform, but instead used his eyes to understand it, relying on his limited knowledge of the secret text.

After a cursory glance, Yu Que stood before the jade coffin, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the female corpse inside, his expression strange.

"What a coincidence... The person lying in this coffin is actually a descendant of the Taiyin lineage?"

He murmured to himself.

According to the inscription on the coffin lid, this was a tomb hastily constructed by the woman inside the coffin to preserve her life.

Because the immortal mountain was terrifying, she could not guarantee that she would be able to revive in the coffin one day. Therefore, she specially left behind a Taiyin Technique for future generations.

In particular, the woman in the coffin knew that after her death, the vital energy within her body would be drawn away by the sacred mountain, while the malevolent energy would accumulate in the coffin, brewing and settling to form pure malevolent energy.

Through the creation of the sacred mountain and the sedimentation of time, this kind of evil energy can be harvested by others again without any hidden dangers.

Therefore, she hopes that those who will be fortunate enough to enter this place in the future will be those who seek to obtain Yin Sha.

If so, then that person can inherit the Nine Nether Yin Sha she left behind, as well as a Taiyin inheritance.

The woman's only request to the destined person was that his body not be destroyed, and if possible, that he be buried in a place rich in spiritual energy, so that one day his spirit might return and be resurrected in the world.

Yu Que repeatedly chewed on the secret text on the coffin lid.

The events described by the woman in the coffin represent only the superficial meaning of these cryptic texts. To gain more information about her origins and the legacy she left behind, one must refine the cryptic texts on the coffin lid and internalize them.

However, although Yu Que felt a stirring in his heart, he suppressed the impulse.

"Hey, what a coincidence, it's actually the Taiyin lineage."

He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's just a pity that it's not the lineage I inherited."

The Taiyin inheritance left by the woman in the coffin did not originate from the Taiyin Sword Sect, but from the Taiyin Lord, also known as the "Taiyin Dharma Lineage," as spoken of by the immortals of the Daoist Secret Realm!
Before Yu Que obtained the Sword Sect's inheritance, the path he always wanted to take was the Taiyin lineage, which was a mixture of the Yama King's lineage and the Tai Sui King's lineage.

Unfortunately, when he desperately needed this lineage to be passed down, he failed to encounter the so-called Taiyin lineage.

Now that his true qi has become one with his sword qi, he has laid a solid foundation for the Taiyin Sword Sect and has encountered the Taiyin lineage within the immortal tradition.

In the past, it was difficult to answer which of these two Taiyin lineages was superior.

However, having traveled overseas and witnessed the ancient methods practiced by the immortal cultivators, he had already formed his own judgment.

Yu Que thought to himself:

"If we were to say who is most suitable for the current Dharma-ending Age, it would undoubtedly be the lineage of immortals."

However, when it comes to whose foundation is stronger, whose future is brighter, and whose lineage makes it easier to achieve immortality, it is undoubtedly the ancient cultivation tradition.

However, although he had already made this judgment in his mind, believing that the ancient cultivation lineage would have an advantage when spiritual energy was reviving, it did not mean that he would therefore join the ancient cultivation lineage.

What Yu Que really wants is to use the Taiyin Sword Technique as a foundation, and combine the lineages of the King of Hell and the Grand Duke of Jupiter, integrating the three lineages into one, to forge a broad road that belongs to him alone!

If one can secure one's livelihood by using ancient cultivation methods and immortal techniques to protect one's path and achieve longevity, that would undoubtedly be the best option.

As his thoughts raced, Yu Que stared at the secret inscription on the coffin lid, his eyes darting around.

Suddenly, he snorted coldly and decisively made his move. Clusters of crowfire landed on the cover, scorching and melting it.

This place is a sacred mountain, and he inexplicably encountered a successor of the Taiyin Dharma lineage, and the inheritance of another Taiyin Dharma lineage was right before his eyes... All of this was undoubtedly too coincidental and carried risks.

Yu Que is not lacking in inheritance now. Rather than falling into some kind of scheme, it is better to make a decisive move and "buy the box and return the pearl"!
With a hissing sound, wisps of pure spiritual energy instantly emanated from the coffin lid.

Nourished by the spiritual energy of the jade coffin, the Earth Raven Fire grew even more ferocious, eagerly attempting to spread towards the female corpse beside it.

The lack did not stop it.

This fire was already essentially his natal fire, and what it desired was exactly what he wanted.

But at that moment, something unusual happened on the lid of the coffin that was trapped in the crow's fire.

The tadpole-shaped runes began to move rapidly, jumping around in the flames like flies, and eventually formed a ferocious and hideous face.

Yu Que's eyelids twitched, and when he looked up, he found that the face bore a resemblance to the female corpse in the coffin.

Ahhhhh!
A piercing scream that could send shivers down one's spine emanated from the face of the secret inscription, shaking the entire dilapidated pagoda.

The remaining formations around them were also buzzing and shaking incessantly.

At that moment, the exquisite female corpse in the coffin suddenly opened her eyelids, revealing pure white pupils, and strangely straightened up from the coffin, looking towards where Yu Que was.

"Good heavens, is this a zombie coming back to life?!"

Yu Que looked tense and quickly retreated, with the four guardian deities surrounding him. The Earth Raven True Fire, which had burned the secret text with an unusual intensity, also worked even harder, howling as it swept towards the female corpse in the coffin, trying to burn her to death.

The piercing screams grew even louder!
The secret-text face immediately shot out, hovering above the jade coffin to block the erosion of the crow fire, and then poured downwards, drilling into the skull of the exquisite female corpse.

The woman's face twitched, her eyes rolled upwards repeatedly, and finally, two tiny pupils appeared in her eyes.

She turned her head, staring at Yu Que with a strange look, and spoke in a monotonous voice:
"I am the Fairy of Taiyin, the chief disciple of Taiyin Palace."

"Future generations, preserve my body, and I can help you ascend to immortality, escape the immortal mountain, and achieve eternal life!"

As Yu Que listened to the female corpse speak, he showed no emotion whatsoever; instead, his brows furrowed even more.

Such a scene is exactly the same as the underground tomb and the Nine Dragon Waterfall secret realm he had experienced. It must be the work of evil spirits, causing unease for the dead.

"Luckily, I didn't try to refine the secret inscription on the coffin lid, otherwise, it might have crawled into my skull and plotted something."

Yu Que's eyes were ruthless. Without hesitation, he took out the Fiend Pearl, used the fiend energy within it to enhance the Ravenfire, and had the ghost soldiers form an array to amplify the ghost energy.

"Owl!" A bird's cry suddenly echoed throughout the pagoda.

The crowfire took shape and expanded, swallowing the female corpse, coffin and all, whole in one gulp, and intensified its firepower to refine it.

Faced with this situation, the female corpse's face twitched even more, and the two pupils in her eyes trembled continuously. Finally, she stared intently at Yu Que, and a hint of liveliness appeared in her expression.

The female corpse stood in the fire, her voice hoarse as she spoke to Yu Que:
"For those who are destined, I have cultivated the Taiyin Jade Fairy Technique, and my primordial yin is still intact. After death, my body will be filled with life, and my yin energy will be even purer, which is why I am able to be reborn with essence and evil."

If you receive my assistance, Yin and Yang will be harmonized, you will be able to condense the true evil of the Nine Netherworlds, and establish the foundation for immortality...

I too can help you ascend to the celestial position of Taiyin, and reside in the Taiyin Moon Palace!

Yu Que's eyelids twitched several times.

It must be said that the other party's mention of "Taiyin Jade Fairy Maiden Skill", "True Evil", and "Taiyin Toad Palace" immediately piqued his great interest.

In particular, the "Taiyin Toad Palace" was something he knew that could be called the immortal garden secret realm created by the legendary Taiyin Lord, which contained countless spiritual objects and magical treasures.

Even in years when spiritual energy has not revived, it is said that obtaining it can lead to immortality!

However, the next moment, Yu Que's eyes cleared, and his decisiveness was evident in his expression.

He uttered only one word:

"burn!"

turbulent!

The raging Earth Raven True Fire closed in, engulfing the jade coffin and the Moon Fairy, and scorching them fiercely.

The long, ink-black hair behind the Taiyin Fairy's head suddenly became scorched, her robes turned to dust, and her delicate features became cracked and withered.

In an instant, she transformed from a beautiful, aloof corpse into a charred, hideous one.

A piercing scream escaped from the female corpse's mouth once more.

She reached out her claw-like hand and grabbed at Yu Que, her eyes filled with hatred and fear.

"Save me, save me...I...I'm willing to be your slave..."

Regardless of the woman's true identity or her pleas,

Even if she were the Taiyin Lord herself, she had already died once, her soul was incomplete, her protective energy was gone, and she could not use her evil energy. Yu Que would not hesitate for a moment longer.

Thus, she fell into the raging fire of the earth crows, leaving the female corpse with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth, only death awaiting her.

Whoohoo!
Yu Que stood in front of the female corpse, staring intently at her, watching her transform from a charred corpse into a skeleton, and then from a skeleton into ashes, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The scene was now silent; the screams had ceased, and only the ashes left by the female corpse covered the entire jade coffin.

Yu Que then looked at the jade coffin with surprise.

He examined it carefully and found that although the jade coffin itself had melted, it still maintained the general shape of a coffin, only the runes and inscriptions on it were all distorted and chaotic.

He examined the jade coffin lid again and found that it had been burned the longest, and only the surface had melted, with no signs of collapse.

Yu Que couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"What kind of spiritual material is this? It hasn't been completely destroyed by the earth fire even after burning for nearly three hours!"

He couldn't help but step forward, showing no concern for the ashes in the coffin, and directly reached out to touch and tap the coffin lid.

With his still limited knowledge, Yu Que could only discern that the spiritual energy inside the coffin was still abundant and carried a chill, which could prevent the body from decaying and the soul from dying out, making it an excellent material for nourishing corpses and souls.

Such materials would be rare and precious, not to mention in this degenerate age, even in times of abundant spiritual energy.

After all, just considering the spiritual energy it contains, even an immortal would notice it.

As Yu Que leaned against the jade coffin, he came to his senses and immediately fell into even deeper thought.

His expression shifted constantly, a mixture of joy, anticipation, and deep hesitation and apprehension.

At this moment, Yu Que was no longer thinking about the female corpse, but about himself.

He was considering whether his family should use this jade coffin to directly establish their foundation and condense evil energy in the immortal mountain, instead of merely merging with the three evil spirits!

"According to my master, the reason why the immortals must return to the mountain to establish their foundation is twofold: firstly, because there are masters and elders within the sect to protect them; and secondly, because there is abundant spiritual energy within the mountain sect. Moreover, after offering sacrifices to the mountains and rivers, the immortals receive the blessing of the nation's fortune."

Yu Que's eyes shone brightly as he thought to himself:

"Now, in this sacred mountain, there is spiritual energy everywhere, seemingly endless. In addition, with this jade coffin in front of me, I have no worries about spiritual energy."

Once I establish my foundation here and truly possess the power of foundation-building magic, it will undoubtedly make it easier for me to obtain greater benefits here and give me a greater chance of making a safe retreat!

The more he pondered, the more restless he became.

Especially this jade coffin in front of us, which was able to preserve the body of a woman from who knows how many years ago, its ability to soothe the soul is absolutely top-notch.

Even the most advanced foundation-building medicines in Huangshan Taoist Palace are probably not as effective as this.

His thoughts churned, and Yu Que finally managed to choke back a sob.

He stared intently at the jade coffin, his mind already made up.

Good things don't need to be delayed; building a solid foundation quickly is the key!
