178 The Mysterious Crystal Coffin

A question popped up in everyone’s heart. What kind of person could seal such a powerful black mist?

Although the secret realm had disappeared, it had left behind many doubts for everyone.

“But then again, this secret realm is related to Penglai. Why would such a thing appear?”

Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something. He couldn’t say it before, but now he should have the right.

“This secret realm was affected by the falling meteorite. Does it seem like there were other objects in the meteorite?”

Everyone was shocked to hear Ye Xuan’s words.

It must be known that this secret was only known to the core figures of the Seven Great Sects. They were either sect masters or grand elders, so how did Ye Xuan know about it?

Of course, Ye Xuan couldn’t tell them that he was there and saw the meteorite fall with his own eyes.

“At that time, I happened to be nearby, so I was attracted here. After I saw you, I left. What happened after that was just my guess.”

These words seemed very reasonable, but no one believed them. They felt that Ye Xuan was becoming more and more mysterious. He even knew such a secret.

The grand elders of the Yaochi Holy Land, the Heaven Sect, and the Infinity Sect looked at each other, hesitating whether they should say it or not.

If they didn’t say anything, they would have been greatly indebted to Ye Xuan. Not only had he saved their disciples, but he had also saved Jingdu from a catastrophe. This would make them seem a little stingy, not to mention that they wanted to rope in Ye Xuan.

The elder of the Infinity Sect was the first to speak. “Since we haven’t made any progress, we might as well tell our little friend, Ye Xuan. Who knows, he might have some discoveries.”

“My little friend, if you want to know, then come with us.”

Ye Xuan was also curious as to what it was that made them so mysterious.

The place where the meteorite had fallen had already been designated as a forbidden area. Not only was there a restriction set up by the seven sect masters and the grand elder, but there were also disciples patrolling day and night. Even a mosquito could not fly in.

Ye Xuan followed behind the grand elders. After seeing the defensive power of this place, he couldn’t help but rejoice that he didn’t rashly break in before.

As the light of the array flickered, the previous scenery also changed. Without the disguise, Ye Xuan looked at the thing in front of him with a dumbfounded expression, revealing a shocked expression that he rarely made.

He finally understood why they were like that earlier.

This was because it was a huge coffin!

It was unknown what material the coffin was made of. It was like crystal, and its entire body was enshrouded in mist. It was impossible to see what was inside.

If it wasn’t for its shape, it would be hard to imagine that this was a “coffin”. Divine light flickered all over its body, and it was truly incomparably peculiar. It was more like a supreme treasure.

Ye Xuan tried to get closer, but he didn’t notice the sudden change in everyone’s expressions.

“Our little friend, be careful–”

The others wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Ye Xuan was already half a step into the range of the divine light.

He turned around and saw everyone’s jaw drop in shock. He couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

“What’s wrong with you guys?”

Ye Xuan’s entire body was shrouded in divine light, and nothing special happened, which made them seem like they were making a mountain out of a molehill.

One of the grand elders asked carefully, “Are you alright?”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “What could happen to me?”

The others were even more incredulous. “That’s impossible. Why didn’t anything happen?”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at their expressions. Only then did he realize that other than himself, who was close to the crystal coffin, the others kept their distance.

Before he could figure out what was going on, one of the grand elders saw that Ye Xuan was safe and sound, so he also mustered his courage and lifted his foot to approach, mumbling to himself.

“When we first came in, we were…”

Before he could finish his words, he had just touched the divine light, and a huge pressure was released.

It was as if there was an invisible hand in the air that suddenly slapped him away, and he directly flew more than ten meters away.

“Bang!”

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard. The grand elder climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, and his mouth was almost big enough to stuff an egg.

Ye Xuan finally knew why they were like this when they saw him approaching the crystal coffin. Everyone’s expression was like they had seen a ghost.

The invisible force still existed, but it did not affect Ye Xuan.

Why was this happening?

The others couldn’t help but smile bitterly. They looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Now you know the reason.”

“You can’t even get close?”

Ye Xuan was shocked. He tried to walk back and forth a few more times, but he didn’t find anything like the previous situation. On the other hand, as long as anyone got close, they would be sent flying by an inexplicable force.

Each time, the strength became stronger.

In the end, no one dared to try it rashly. The grand elder almost had a bloody nose and a swollen face. If word got out, he would be laughed at. “I’ve really seen a ghost.”

They looked at Ye Xuan with even more surprise and amazement. Now, only Ye Xuan could get close to the crystal coffin.

“Perhaps this is the will of the heavens.”

The grand elders looked even more reverent. After all, they couldn’t even step into the crystal coffin’s range even if they worked together, but Ye Xuan could do it easily.

“Little friend, you should take a closer look.”

Ye Xuan approached the coffin and tried to push it. It was slightly cold to the touch, but the crystal coffin seemed to be rooted to the ground and didn’t move at all.

“We’ve tried all kinds of methods before, but we couldn’t open the crystal coffin, nor could we move it.”

Earlier, Ye Xuan was wondering why the people of the Seven Great Sects didn’t take this thing away. Instead, they left it where it was. Wouldn’t it be more suspicious?

So that was the reason. No wonder this place was turned into a forbidden area and was strictly guarded.

“We’re guessing that the person buried in this coffin must have an extraordinary identity.”
