Chapter 192 Corpse Immortal in the Coffin, Upper, Middle and Lower Immortal Seeds
As the three of them were immersed in the ancient incantation, a body with claws and hair was indeed hidden inside the stone coffin.

Moreover, the chest and abdomen of this body were trembling, changing with their actions of refining the secret text, and the amplitude was getting larger and larger.

In the pitch black, a pair of ghastly green pupils suddenly opened.

There really was a "Corpse-Dissolving Immortal" inside the stone coffin here!
The moment this thing awakened, Yu Que and the other two also felt the surrounding spiritual energy tremble in unison, startling them from their immersion.

The three of them were stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.

A series of hoarse, dry breathing sounds could be clearly heard coming from the stone coffin.

"Someone? A deity?"

The three of them, Yu Que and his companions, stared at each other in shock, unsure whether to feel fear or joy.

Xie Baiyu was the first to react.

While seizing the time to grab the secret texts around him, the boy shouted:
"The senior in the coffin is none other than a senior immortal from my Huangshan Taoist Palace. Junior Xie Baiyu pays respects to the senior."

Wang Qilin and Yu Que both spoke up, saying, "Junior Wang Qilin greets senior."

One, however, kept a low profile, his eyes darting around.

While Yu Que was pounding with anxiety, he actually chose to interrupt the absorption of the secret text and stop it from entering his family's ancestral temple.

Amidst several shouts, the gurgling sounds from inside the stone coffin only grew louder, but no human voices came out from within.

Only after all the remaining inscriptions on the stone coffin had floated out and been divided up by Xie Baiyu and Wang Qilin did the person inside the coffin finally speak in a hoarse, dry voice:
"A great dream...a thousand years, what year and what dynasty is it tonight?"

Seeing that there was indeed someone in the coffin, and that the person could communicate with them, Xie Baiyu and Wang Qilin relaxed slightly.

"It still retains its intelligence; it is not a demon!"

"It seems highly likely that the immortal has awakened."

The two thought to themselves, then shouted loudly:
"Reporting to the senior, this is the first time that incense has been offered."

The person inside the coffin heard this; their voice was still hoarse, but their speech was a bit more natural than before.

"The incense burns for a single day, but who knows, who knows..."

The other party paused for a few moments, then continued:
"May I ask, in this world, have any new immortals emerged?"

These words stirred the emotions of all three, including Yu Que.

This person first inquired about the era, then about the immortals; it is highly likely that he is indeed a corpse-dissolving immortal who has secluded himself in this place.

The three dared not hide anything and answered one after another:

"Reporting to the immortal, there are no immortals born in the world today. Among us immortals, the highest level of cultivation is only half a step into the primordial spirit realm."

"In recent years, there have been frequent rumors that spiritual energy is about to revive, and perhaps in another hundred years, immortals will be born."

Yu Que, mixed in with the others, also chimed in:
"Reporting to the Immortal, the spiritual energy of this world may have already begun to recover. Is the Immortal awakening now to step out into the mortal realm? Should we immediately report this to the people in the palace?"

The immortal listened to the three people's words and fell silent, not uttering a word for a full quarter of an hour.

Just as the three of them looked at each other, unsure of what to say next, a chilling sensation suddenly gripped their hearts, making them tremble.

Yu Que felt as if he had fallen into the greedy gaze of thousands of ghosts.

Moreover, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance, as if the other party could crush his soul into dust with just a glance.

"What powerful divine sense! Even if this person isn't a Corpse-Dissolving Immortal, he must have reached the level of a half-step Nascent Soul, making him an old monster in the Dao Palace!"

Yu Que was on edge.

He lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists, and although he was even more vigilant, he dared not show any impoliteness.

The expressions on Xie Baiyu and Wang Qilin's faces also changed, but unlike Yu Que, these two, apart from their fear, were actually more surprised.

"That's it! This person must be the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal!"

"No wonder the Dao Palace chose to hold the martial arts exam at the Nine Dragon Waterfall Immortal Garden this time. It turns out that a Corpse-Dissolving Immortal is about to be revived, and they let us in to try our luck."

The two of them were filled with anticipation.

Once they catch the eye of an immortal, their path to immortality will be smooth, and their status in the Dao Palace will be on par with those who have mastered the Qi Refining stage. Even those old guys who are half-step into the Nascent Soul stage will not dare to underestimate them.

Meanwhile, inside the stone coffin, the mummified corpse's chest and abdomen heaved, reflecting the emotions of both Xie Baiyu and Wang Qilin.

After scanning the three of them with his divine sense, he discovered that they were all from the Heavenly Temple and immediately understood that what they had just said was true.

"Heh, three heavens, temple road seed."

Is the spiritual energy of this world finally about to experience a great revival?

The scarlet green light in the corpse's eyes intensified, and it whispered in a secret language, "Become an immortal, become an immortal!"

bang bang bang!
The object was excited, and even the stone coffin shook because of its excitement.

Finally, after a while.

The corpse-dissolving immortal inside the coffin finally ceased his excitement.

His eyes flickered, and following Xie Baiyu and the others' assumptions, he acknowledged the identity of an "immortal," and whispered:
"Not bad, not bad. In ancient times, I guarded the Yin and protected the Yang, hiding in the Taiyin to refine my form for thousands of years. My immortal body underwent a transformation, and I was utterly bored."

Now is the time when spiritual energy is reviving, to rebuild immortal bodies, to cultivate secret techniques again, and to protect my Dao Palace through this calamity.

After a brief exchange, the creature abruptly changed the subject and sighed:
"Alas, you have arrived too early. Although spiritual energy has begun to emerge in the world, it has not yet reached its full potential, so I cannot go out with you."

The other party's voice was mysterious and subtle, and when it reached the ears of the three people on the stone pillar, it made their hearts pound and they felt a great sense of loss.

Even Yu Que, who had been on guard for some time, felt a sense of bad luck: "If this immortal could come out of seclusion, we would definitely be able to become his disciples directly."

"What a blessing it is to have a celestial master."

However, as a surge of emotions welled up, the ancestral temple in Yu Que's spiritual platform trembled slightly, and suddenly suppressed the spiritual inscriptions that were floating up in the temple one by one.

The moment the spirits landed, Yu Que's eyes cleared slightly. He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of horror was about to rise up.

Fortunately, he managed to regain his composure, though his body trembled slightly.

"Bewitching! The old man in the coffin speaks with a bewitching power."

In an instant, Yu Que's vigilance reached its peak.

Having learned from past mistakes, he immediately dismissed the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal in the coffin as being no different from the Corpse-Dissolving Old Ghost.

And next.

Things unfolded exactly as he had feared. Wang and Xie shouted:

"The great era of contention is approaching, and the Dao Palace cannot be without an immortal to oversee it. Senior, the fact that the palace sent its disciples here for training is probably in order to invite you out."

"Please, senior, have mercy and, for the sake of the Dao Palace, allow us to leave seclusion with you."

Yu Que, mixed in with the crowd, also chimed in, shouting, "The spiritual energy has just recovered, it is the perfect time for immortals to emerge from seclusion and seize the initiative for our Huangshan Dao Palace!"

Hearing the cries of the three, the Stone Coffin Corpse Immortal's gaze within the coffin flickered even more.

This thing sighed and said:
"Foolish children, why are you doing this? If I were to leave the pass at will, I would find that shallow waters cannot sustain a dragon, and I would surely die of thirst once I stepped out."

The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal smiled bitterly: "If the spiritual energy of this world were not so depleted, we immortals would have already achieved immortality, so why would we be trapped in this living death tomb? You may leave now, leave now, do not disturb me."

"Fairy!"

Several exclamations rang out as Wang and Xie realized that the immense divine sense surrounding them was receding like a tide, and their sense of loss deepened.

Immediately, both of them knelt on the stone pillar, kowtowed towards the stone coffin, and banged their heads against it loudly.

"Immortal, please do not leave. We beg you to have mercy on us disciples of the Dao Palace."

Although they were bewitched and single-mindedly wanted to become disciples of that immortal and inherit his teachings, they were not unintelligent and spoke eloquently, always claiming it was for the sake of the Dao Palace.

Yu Que landed to the side. He noticed that the Corpse Immortal's divine sense had receded, and his whole body immediately relaxed. Listening to the two examinees' words, which seemed to be trying to find joy in their suffering, he couldn't help but smile.

However, he still managed to put on a flawless show of politeness. Although he didn't kowtow, he prostrated himself and begged the other party to stay.

"If the immortals do not leave their seclusion, we have no face to leave this place."

Seemingly seeing that the three people's pleas were truly pitiful and sincere, the Stone Coffin Corpse Immortal's tone finally softened.

The other party sighed, "Well, it is fate after all. What you three juniors said makes sense. With the emergence of numerous Heavenly Temples in the world, a great era of contention is approaching. If the Dao Palace has no protection, it will ultimately be unstable."

Then, he held the object in his hand, pretending to ponder, and didn't speak again, as if he was considering something.

Wang and Xie were overjoyed: "Thank you for your mercy, Immortal! The Huangshan Taoist Temple is saved!"

These two were burning with passion and intended to use words to first elevate the immortal.

Upon hearing this, Yu Que also joined in, fanning the flames with his shouts:
"Without the immortals, the Dao Palace remains obscure! We beg the immortals to come down from the mountain!"

At this moment, the immortal in the stone coffin seemed to have finally figured things out, and leisurely said:

"No, it is impossible to leave the pass."

The expressions on the faces of the three people changed again.

Before the three could cry out again, the stone coffin corpse-dissolving immortal called out to them, his voice laced with laughter:

“You are all from the Heavenly Temple, and should be the true disciples of my Dao Palace.”

Such matters of helping the needy and rescuing the Bright Dao Palace should be undertaken by all of you together. Do you desire this other wondrous method of mine?”

These words stunned Yu Que and the other two, but they were overjoyed, especially Wang and Xie.

Although they would like to invite the immortal out and become his disciples, if that is not possible, it would be even better to obtain his inheritance.

"The Taiyin Refining Form Technique engraved on the coffin is too profound and unfathomable. It is a method for cultivating the primordial spirit. It is good, but how can it compare to the personal instruction of an immortal?" the two thought to themselves.

Yu Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just an inheritance, yet it still doesn't want to go out with us. It seems that even if this thing has some schemes, it shouldn't be too blatant."

His eyes flickered as he glanced at the two men to his left and right, thinking to himself, "There are three of us here, so the risk will be shared. And these two might just end up taking on the majority of the risk."

So he continued to follow the crowd, neither grabbing nor retreating, but following behind the two men in worship at a moderate pace.

"Thank you for bestowing this magic, Immortal!"

Amidst the shouts, the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal within the stone coffin spoke:
"good!

Here in this place, there are three levels of secret techniques passed down, which can help you to be immune to water and fire, unharmed by weapons, and free from all demonic obstacles.

"Once you obtain this, your path to immortality will be clear, and you will surely be able to assist the Dao Palace and bring peace to the nation."

Wang and Xie quickly kowtowed and said:
"This disciple begs the immortal to impart to me a superior secret technique."

Corpse Dissection Immortal shook his head and said:

"My secret methods are all taught to you through the path of enlightenment, which will deplete my remaining spiritual energy. You can only choose one path each."

“This…” Wang and Xie looked at each other, their eyes filled with hostility.

Just then, the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal suddenly chuckled:
"Now that you have received my teachings, you are all my registered disciples. From now on, you must help each other and never harm our harmony."

I already have a method for distribution.”

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Yu Que and the other two discovered that the runes in the ancestral temple were all responding.

They immediately heard the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal speak:
"This method of 'Taiyin Refining Form' is profound and mysterious. I carved it on my coffin to await those with the right destiny. Now you have each received a portion. Although you cannot comprehend it yet, the quantity you have determines your level."

Upon hearing this, Xie Baiyu was overjoyed, while Wang Qilin looked embarrassed.

Yu Que followed closely behind. He estimated the number of secret texts in his ancestral temple and realized that he must belong to the lower level of the three levels of inheritance.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel fortunate or disappointed.

Before the three could think further, a shout came from inside the stone coffin:
"Xie Baiyu, is it? Come forward. I have a spiritual seed that can be planted in the ancestral temple to help you ward off all evil spirits, absorb incense, and suppress ghosts and gods."

The day your immortal seed flourishes will be the day you become an immortal.

Xie Baiyu was overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed to the stone coffin and saw a pure white spiritual light fly out of the stone coffin and land on his head.

Before it could resist, the secret inscriptions in its ancestral temple flickered, welcoming the "immortal seed" into the temple and allowing it to take root.

“Wang Qilin stepped forward. I have a flesh and blood immortal seed that can be nurtured in your body to help you prolong your life, resist poisons and evil spirits, and regenerate severed limbs.”

When the immortal seed grows strong, that will be the time when your physical body will achieve enlightenment.

Wang Qilin was overjoyed, realizing that this inheritance was perfect for him, and quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.

When it was Yu Que's turn, a shout came from the stone coffin again:
“Yu Que, step forward. I have an external elixir seed that can be nurtured in a magic artifact to help you refine a celestial treasure, ensure your safety and well-being, and aid in attacking and killing.”

The day the immortal seed matures will be the day your immortal treasure is forged.

Yu Que also looked delighted and bowed to express his gratitude.
