2180: The Coffin

The Coffin

That burst of energy came suddenly and neither of them were prepared. Also, the moment that energy appeared, they could sense that it was much more powerful than it was before.2

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior wanted to go up and protect Sima You Yue, but that energy came too quickly. It seemed to penetrate the both of them immediately.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior managed to use his spirit energy to block it, but it forced him back two steps. Sima You Yue activated her sprit energy as well, but she was not able to be quicker than the spirit energy.

It was over!

She could sense the boundless energy coming from that. Now that she was completely unable to defend herself against it, was she going to be killed by it?

From the time that the energy burst out to the time that it had attacked her, it all happened in the frame of the time it would take lightning to strike. By the time Sima You Yue managed to react, that burst of energy already went through her.

However, it was different than what she expected. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She wasn't pushed back like Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was, either.

It was as if that energy passed her like a cool breeze.

It was a good thing that the energy dissipated after going through her without causing any harm to them.

"Honorable One, are you alright?" Sima You Yue asked when she saw that Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior's position had been moved.

"I'm fine." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, "This energy seems to have no effect on you."

Even he had been pushed two steps back, but Sima You Yue, who was weaker than himself, had not been affected in any way.

"I realised that as well." Sima You Yue siad, "Not only does it have no effect on me, it even feels a little nice."

She thought back to the main doors and pondered about the time that the strange energy had appeared along with her sensation now. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior definitely felt the same way.

"I'm afraid that you have a relationship with this cemetery."

Sima You Yue has secretly made the same conjecture. The timing that this appeared was too coincidental, and this phenomenon had happened as well. Nobody would believe that there was no relationship at all.

"But this cemetery has been around for such a long time. How could it have any relationship with me? You couldn't be saying that this cemetery is mine or that it has been waiting here for me, right?" When she thought of this possibility, Sima You Yue could not help but to purse her lips.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior glanced lightly at her, speechless towards her train of thought. However, he hid his thoughts very well and said, "We'll find out once we head inside."

When they thought about the cemeteries that they had gone to before, they decided to continue forward cautiously to guard against any trap. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was not afraid, but he had to be more careful since she was by his side.

However, the traps that he had prepared himself for never appeared. They managed to walk all the way to the main hall of the cemetery palace.

However, they remained outside the main hall, not anxious to enter it at all.

"The journey here has been too smooth, don't you think?" Sima You Yue asked Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior had gone to many cemeteries before in the past as well, and this was also the first time that he had gone to a cemetery that did not place a single trap.

To be more accurate, he could sense that there were traps in place, but they seemed to have been broken because they did not get activated at all. As such, they could journey through the entire place peacefully.

However, this was just too suspicious!

"Forget it, we're already here. The energy came from here as well, so we had to go in and take a look either way." Sima You Yue took a deep breath and push the main door of the main palace open.

This door was similar to the main door outside. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior could not move it at all, but Sima You Yue could open it easily.

There was nothing inside at all apart from a coffin. Sima You Yue crossed the tall doorstep and entered. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior wanted to go in, but he was blocked outside by some force.

It was not a barrier, so Sima You Yue had no way to let him in. it was as if that force only recognised her alone.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior attacked the energy at the door twice, but all of his spirit energy was absorbed. It did not cause the slightest ripple.

"Honorable One, why don't you just wait outside? I'll go see what is inside that coffin." Sima You Yue said.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior knew as well that there seemed to be no other way. He could only nod and mutter, "Be careful. If there is any danger, you have to retreat outside immediately."

"Alright." Sima You Yue replied as she headed to the coffin. She was not particularly careful in her approach.

Based on what happened earlier, she felt like this place was rather safe even though she didn't know the reason why.

Mm. in any case, this cemetery was not prepared for her.

She walked in front of the coffin. This coffin did not have those simple decorations. In fact, it was extremely plain. It was very different from the appearance of the other cemeteries. However, its material was of very decent quality. Otherwise, it would not have been able to exist for such a long time without decaying.

Regardless, she could not tell how it was made.

The moment she drew close to the coffin, she could sense a familiar energy. It even seemed to be beckoning to her. The waves of energy that bubbled outside seemed to be released from the top of this coffin. She didn't know whether it was from the top of or inside of it.

She stretched out a hand to push the lid of the coffin. This time was not like the others, which were easy to move. Instead, it refused to budge.

However, she was not anxious. It was only to be expected for a coffin placed in a cemetery like this.

She walked around the coffin and examined it. It looked like it was one solid piece, simple yet elegant. She couldn't tell what was special about it.

There had to be some kind of mechanism in this coffin.

She thought about the way she was treated inside this cemetery and felt like it definitely was related to her in some way. Aura? Or was it spirit energy?

Regardless of which type it was, she had to give it a go.

She placed her hand on the coffin and inserted her spirit energy. She initially thought that it would be futile, but she could actually sense the energy on the coffin responding to her!

She could sense when she was almost done inserting the energy, and retrieved her hand. At this time, a white ray of light emanated from the lid of the coffin. The light swirled around the lid and slowly formed a picture.

Sima You Yue stared at it for a long time, feeling like that design was rather familiar. However, it was unknown whether it was because the direction was off or because of something else, but for a moment, she could not figure out where she had seen that before.

Alright. She would never admit that her memory had deteriorated after being asleep for so many years.

She walked to the bottom of the coffin and studied that design intensely. She could not help but slap her forehead.

She was just saying that it was extremely familiar. Wasn't the image that the ray of light was outlining the halberd?

Since she thought about the halberd, she thought about Heaven's Halberd. Although she had other types of halberds in her spirit pagoda, this was the most ancient. Also, it had a relationship with her. Hence, this had to be the one.

Besides, the size of it and appearance was very similar to Heaven's Halberd.

She took out Heaven's Halberd, hesitated for a moment, then placed it into the white light. The moment she placed it down, the white rays of light on the lid of the coffin actually moved around to form a shape. She placed Heaven's Halberd on it, and it happened to fit that shape perfectly.

This scene caused her jaw to drop.

"Clang-"

She didn't know what moved, but the lid of the coffin released a crisp and clear song. Then, Sima You Yue could feel heaven and earth spinning.
