"Does this martial arts master have some kind of peculiar fetish? Why does he like sleeping in a coffin?"

Jiang Wangzu frowned as he gazed at the bronze coffin floating in the distance.

"Silly boy, he's using a secret technique to stop his lifespan by sealing himself in a special meteorite copper coffin, which can delay the time when his life ends."

"Generally, in the ancestral land, only the terrestrial immortals who are nearing the end of their lifespan and are very old will take this opportunity to prolong their lives."

"One reason is to live a little longer."

"Secondly, let's see if any great fortune will appear in the future to extend their lives and allow them to return to their peak."

"These three are planning to use their remaining time to contribute to the sect. If a powerful enemy attacks in the future, these old guys will have to come out and fight them to the death."

"No one can ignore the wrath of a terrestrial immortal whose lifespan is nearing its end and who has no scruples."

Gu Shentong stared intently at the bronze coffin, his gaze grave as he spoke in a deep voice.

"But I reckon the old guy in the coffin is just afraid of dying!"

Wu Chongxiao revealed the secret in a single sentence.

He leaped into the air and descended from the sky, stomping heavily on the bronze coffin. The immense force drove the bronze coffin into the ground.

Boom!

The bronze coffin lid was flung open, and the immense force sent Wu Chongxiao flying.

Wu Chongxiao spun rapidly in mid-air to dissipate the force before landing steadily on the ground.

"Are the younger generation these days so impolite?"

"You trespassed into my secret realm, killed my disciples, and even tried to kill me and seize this realm for yourself?"

An old man suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Wangzu and the others.

This person had thin features, bright eyes, sparse white hair and beard, a hunched figure, and wore a dark red-trimmed, black robe with gold and silver thread embroidery.

"This is... the hairstyle and clothing of the Qin Dynasty. Is this guy from the Qin Dynasty?"

Emperor Tianyi looked the old man up and down and said with some surprise.

The Qin Dynasty is over two thousand years old. If this old man is from the Qin Dynasty, then he must have lived for over two thousand years.

Even if a terrestrial immortal stops their lifespan by draining their blood, can they live for two thousand years?

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Shentong.

"Can!"

"If handled properly, living to be two thousand years old is not a problem, even three to five thousand years old is not an issue."

"There was once a first-rank terrestrial immortal in our ancestral land. He had reached the peak of the terrestrial immortal realm. In his later years, he worried that if he died, his disciples and descendants would be purged by a great enemy."

"He stopped bleeding and entered a state of suspended animation, feigning death, but publicly declared that he had passed away. As a result, a great enemy attacked, and he awoke from his slumber, rose from his coffin, and slaughtered all the invaders!"

"He used the same tactic seven or eight times, outlasting all his major enemies, but he's still alive!"

"At least when I left the ancestral land, he wasn't dead yet."

"And that was more than three thousand years after he first announced his death."

Ancient supernatural powers spoke as if they were giving a personal account.

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this; he was just a nobody!

"Are you all from our ancestral homeland?"

"Hehehe!"

"I've been hiding for over two thousand years, but I never expected you would find me after all."

"This is the secret realm of the First Emperor, the First Dragon. I will forever guard this place on behalf of the First Dragon. You villains of this ancestral land shall all be executed here!"

Upon hearing Gu Shentong's words, the old man from the Qin Dynasty's pupils constricted slightly, and he immediately flew into a rage.

"I think I know who you are!"

"Xu Fu, a cultivator from the pre-Qin period, was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also proficient in alchemy. He was a master who combined the skills of a sorcerer and a martial artist."

"Back then, you were ordered by the First Emperor to lead three thousand boys and girls out to sea to find the elixir of immortality, but you never returned. It is likely that you found this ancient secret realm and secretly hid there."

"Do you live up to the trust the First Emperor placed in you?"

Jiang Wangzu looked at the old man from the Qin Dynasty in front of him and couldn't help but speak.

"Hehehe."

"More than two thousand years have passed, and I never imagined that anyone in this world would still remember my name!"

"Kid, you're wrong."

"Back then, I was ordered by the First Emperor to take a large number of martial arts manuals, various supplies, cultivation resources, rare and precious materials, as well as three thousand outstanding boys and girls across the ocean, all to find the ancient secret realms of our ancestral lands that were left overseas."

"We traveled across the ocean, drifting on the sea, searching for countless islands. More than 80% of the three thousand boys and girls died or were injured, and finally we arrived at this island in the Eastern Ocean."

"Following the instructions of the local indigenous people, we came to this secret place. We were overjoyed back then, after so many years of searching, we finally found the answer."

"After we killed the so-called native gods here and completely occupied this secret realm, I immediately set off with my men, intending to report the location of this ancient secret realm to the First Emperor."

"But when we returned to the mainland, we found that the Qin Dynasty had been completely destroyed. A representative of our ancestral land, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, destroyed the Qin Dynasty."

"Although I was already a grandmaster of martial arts at that time, I was still far inferior to Xiang Yu, the invincible King of Chu who was the enemy of everyone. Therefore, I could not avenge the First Emperor."

"So I could only return to this secret realm and cultivate in seclusion. After I reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, I wanted to leave this secret realm, find the descendants of the First Emperor, and restore the glory of the Qin Dynasty. But I found that I couldn't get out!"

"I've been trapped in this cage for over two thousand years!"

Xu Fu spoke with grief and indignation.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Jiang Wangzu couldn't help but think to himself, "The legend has misled me!"

Xu Fu was also a very loyal minister.

"Is Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, the spokesperson for his ancestral homeland?"

What was the purpose of the First Emperor's search for ancient, mysterious realms overseas?

Jiang Wangzu asked, somewhat surprised.

"The First Emperor sought out overseas secret realms to cultivate top-tier experts, so that they could invade the ancestral lands and elevate the entire nation to immortality!"

"However, the people of the ancestral land used a strange poison to kill the First Emperor, whose martial arts cultivation was unparalleled, and then supported the remnants of the Chu Kingdom. Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, became the representative of the ancestral land, helping him to unify the world and forever suppress the abandoned land."

"But later I heard that Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, was unwilling to be a puppet of the ancestral land. After he had become powerful enough, he turned the tables and killed a group of masters from the ancestral land. In the end, he died at the hands of Emperor Gaozu of Han."

Xu Fu glanced at Jiang Wangzu, and then recounted the whole story in detail.

No one expected that the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han Contention were both linked to their ancestral homeland.

Even Jiang Wangzu hadn't expected that the history of a parallel world, a fantasy world, had gone so mad.

However, it wasn't that he couldn't accept it, after all, he was now a being with unparalleled martial prowess, comparable to a god among mortals.

Why can't he accept that history is a bit erratic now?

"The Qin Dynasty has been gone for more than two thousand years, and the Han Dynasty is long gone from us."

"All that is gone!"

"Now it's time to talk about our situation."

"We need the resources of this secret realm to hone our spirit and energy to the extreme, and then wait for the ancestral land to open so we can storm it."

"If you wish to stop me, then let us fight. If you are willing to relinquish control of this secret realm, then you may continue to slumber here until you die!"

"What does Senior Xu Fu think?"

Jiang Wangzu looked at the legendary figure Xu Fu before him, giving him the opportunity to make a choice.
