Chapter 400 Bronze Coffin
The woodcutter is not a being of this life, but an ancient person who has been preserved since the beginning of time and has witnessed many strange things over the long years.

When Ye Fan and his companions first set foot on the ancient mythical road, they saw each other's ancient images on a star, along with several stone carvings.

Among those stone carvings are an old man riding a dragon soaring into the sky, a divine coffin passing through the air, and an immortal heavenly blade manifesting; each picture holds a great mystery.

And there's something even more astonishing after these few pictures, because this old man had seen nine dragons pulling a coffin across the void, and had also seen a scene on the path to immortality.

Now he has been reborn, but after only a few years in the human world, he accidentally encountered Qi Zhe and could only stand there speechless.

"Is the old man talking about me?"

Faced with the old woodcutter's murmurs, Qi Zhe did not respond much, but simply asked calmly and in a very peaceful manner.

Qi Zhe's calm expression surprised the woodcutter. After a brief moment of thought, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my presumption."

The old woodcutter didn't seem too conflicted. After a brief moment of thought, he started chatting with Qi Zhe, wanting to explore the mysteries of the path to immortality.

Becoming an immortal is an eternal topic in the heavens and earth, not to mention that it has only been ten years since the end of the path to immortality, yet people are still very curious about what happened back then.

As a participant, Qi Zhe personally blasted open the Immortal Gate, and his experiences along the way were unimaginable to ordinary people. To give you a hint, even a quasi-emperor would need many years to digest them.

Qi Zhe shared his knowledge without reservation, and with Shou Xin by his side, they began to talk. Finally, they lingered on a majestic mountain on the Great Star.

The woodcutter was very knowledgeable, having lived through many eras and seen many ancient emperors, the earliest of whom could be traced back to the era of the God Emperor.

He admitted that during such a long period of time, the path to immortality had shown many breaks, and every 100,000 to 200,000 years, an opportunity to become an immortal would appear.

"But most of them have problems; someone is secretly plotting something."

However, the woodcutter then bluntly stated that there were problems with the many breaks in the path to immortality, and that someone was secretly plotting against those on the path.

His expression was quite complicated at this moment, his aged face was solemn, because he knew who that person was, and knew that even if he had ten lives, he couldn't afford to offend him.

"The Immortal Emperor."

Qi Zhe calmly stated the other party's name. The Immortal Emperor's actions were never a secret, especially to him, they were completely transparent.

In the past, Emperor Hengyu had discovered many clues and had used Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold to refine an imperial weapon in the Primordial Ancient Mine in order to lure out the other party.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Emperor never appeared in the world. He only made a move when the Great Emperor Wushi ruled over Purple Mountain, and then confronted him for many years afterward.

"It's him."

The woodcutter nodded upon hearing this. He knew very well that as an emperor, he must know the methods of the Undying Emperor, not to mention the brief appearance of the Heavenly Blade earlier.

He wanted to warn Qi Zhe to be careful of the other party, as he might encounter the Immortal Emperor's underhanded tactics in his later years and must be wary of him.

"It's alright, we can settle this with a battle."

But Qi Zhe didn't care at all. Even if the Undying Emperor had the means to become an immortal, he might not be able to do anything to him now. He would be more than happy to have a battle with him.

The old woodcutter remained silent. He had heard of Qi Zhe's achievements and knew that with Qi Zhe's fighting strength, he would not be afraid even if the Emperor of Immortality were not to be defeated. He was qualified to say such things.

The woodcutter then recounted a strange sight he had witnessed: a bronze coffin being pulled by nine dragon corpses in the starry sky.

"That Nine Dragon Coffin is very mysterious. There are legends about it since ancient times. It was said to have fallen to earth along with the ancient coffin of the gods and has remained intact for millions of years."

At this moment, the old woodcutter looked extremely solemn. Although he could not see the mystery of the Nine Dragon Coffin, he knew that there was a great secret in it, which was related to immortals.

He then added, “In a certain era of ancient times, I had the opportunity to enter a coffin and saw a small coffin inside. I heard some incredibly profound scriptures.” “Those were true immortal scriptures, which cannot exist in the mortal world. Even today, I cannot comprehend them. Every time I recite them, I feel as if I am bathed in immortal light.”

The woodcutter was in awe of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. He felt that it was not left behind by ordinary gods or ancient deities, but by an immortal who had left it in the human world after becoming an immortal.

Therefore, he speculated that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin might be something left behind by the legendary Desolate Emperor, after all, the other party was considered by many ancient venerables to be an immortal.

No one knows how far away that unknowable ancient era is from the present. The chaotic ancient era is separated from the mythological era, and the entire ancient history has been separated.

"Desolate Heaven Emperor"

Qi Zhe remained calm upon hearing this. He had never come into contact with that coffin, simply because it was not meant for him and had never manifested before his eyes.

However, it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious, since Qi Zhe knew who left it behind—not only the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, but even the owner of the bronze coffin.

That was the Three-Life Coffin, which had once buried an unparalleled figure. The third small coffin ascended to the heavens with the Desolate Emperor, leaving only the two coffins.

"boom!!!"

Just as Qi Zhe was pondering, a loud noise came from the depths of this universe, and a huge bronze coffin was dragged out by nine pitch-black dragon corpses.

It was a shocking scene, one that even cultivators found unbelievable: nine dragons pulling an ancient coffin had actually come from nothingness into the mortal world.

"It appeared?!" Qi Zhe was surprised at this moment. The coffin had actually manifested. Was it because of his own thoughts?

Shou Xin, who had been standing silently beside Qi Zhe, was also surprised. His master had already attained the Dao and become an emperor, but he still showed a look of astonishment.

"I don't know why they came here." The old woodcutter also turned his gaze to the outer realm and saw the Nine Dragon Coffin soaring through the sky in the distance. He was shocked for a moment.

"We part today, but we will meet again under the Big Dipper in the future."

At this moment, Qi Zhe got up and left, turning his gaze to Shou Xin and the woodcutter. He was going to find the coffin, even though it was a coincidence, he still wanted to investigate.

"boom!!!"

Qi Zhe soared into the sky, transforming into a ray of immortal light that traversed time and space, landing instantly on the ancient bronze coffin despite the vast distance between them.

The ancient coffin was shrouded in mist and covered with mysterious runes. At this moment, all the runes were flashing and shining, as if they had all come back to life.

At this moment, Qi Zhe's arrival could not affect the progress of the nine dragon corpses. They wandered in the starry sky along their predetermined route, and in an instant, they were in the boundless galaxy.

Standing atop the ancient coffin, Qi Zhe seemed to be surveying the heavens, traversing several ancient lands of life in a very short time, the coffin carrying him on his journey.

The world was in awe. When passing by an ancient star field, Ye Fan, who was stationed there, was also astonished, looking at Qi Zhe standing on the bronze coffin with great surprise.

"The beginning is unknown, and the end is unknown."

At this moment, Qi Zhe sighed. He realized the mystery of this ancient coffin. The most precious thing about this coffin was not the treasures inside, but the path it led down.

This is the path once walked by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. This coffin is constantly reincarnating along the traces he left in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, as if it is tracing back to something.

Qi Zhe did not leave, but sat cross-legged on the bronze coffin. He wanted to see how many steps the coffin had and whether it would reveal anything extraordinary.

"Hey!"

Three years later, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin finally traveled through all the heavens, passing by ancient stars such as Earth, Ziwei, Beidou, and Huosang, before finally plunging into chaos.
