Star Trace Gate

An emerald green jade mirror soared up and hovered in the sky.

An eerie aura filled with antiquity and silence slowly spread across the sky, attracting dark clouds from all directions to gather and cover the entire illusory village.

Dark clouds obscured the scorching sun and the sky. The world, which had just been experiencing the rising sun, suddenly turned from day to eternal night and was shrouded in pitch darkness.

There was no light in the world, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Everyone in this illusory village seemed to have been blinded by someone's hand, and they were both excited and terrified.

"Is...is the door open there?!"

An old man exclaimed in a trembling voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the emerald green jade mirror above the sky suddenly appeared from under the flowing clouds, distorting the void. It looked like a teleportation array, and also like a door in the void connecting this place and somewhere else. It slowly unfolded and emitted a soft white light.

The jade mirror gradually stretched and grew larger, and then looked at the round stagnation, just like a bright moon illuminating the eternal night; it exuded an ancient and majestic aura, shaking the void, connecting the two places.

"Boom!"

The heaven and earth were in turmoil, and the aura emanating from the Jade Realm became more turbulent and intense.

"brush!"

After a while, a picture faintly emerged in the jade mirror that looked like a full moon.

In the full moon, there is a vague cave paradise with lush vegetation and towering trees. In the peace and silence, there is a red copper coffin, emitting a terrifying and overwhelming Taoist pressure.

The bright moon buried the ancient coffin!

This strange vision was so shocking that even the Little Bad King, who could enter Suzaku Academy at will, had never heard of it before.

The metaphor of this vision is indeed too "exaggerated". If it is not a person who has attained enlightenment, who would have the courage to place a coffin on the full moon?

The mirror is like a full moon, and the scarlet copper coffin exudes an earth-shattering pressure, while the world is silent.

……

The four major families, the Qian family.

"brush!"

The head of the Qian family, the oldest of the four families, suddenly stood up from his place of cultivation, looked up at the sky in astonishment, and said softly, "Fatty Li, you are really angry... You actually opened the Illusionary God's Tomb without even saying hello to our three families?!"

Old Qian was very surprised, because he sensed that the place the jade mirror was connected to was the forbidden area here - the Tomb of the False God, where a huge secret that had been accumulated over countless years was buried. Without the joint efforts of the four heads of the family, no one else could open it completely.

But even if the four family heads worked together to open the tomb, they did not dare to go deeper, because there was a very strange "rule" there, which could annihilate all the strongest black energy-level people. It could not be seen or explored.

Therefore, even the four family heads did not know what the deepest part of the illusory divine tomb looked like.

However, the Li family is a very special existence. Because the Li family's inheritance is related to the mysterious void, they can open the tomb alone without notifying the other three families. But at most they can awaken an unknown bronze coffin slightly inside the tomb of the gods.

"Grandpa, this dispute between Li and Yin may affect the success or failure of the next opening of the road out of hometown. Should we rush to the Yin family and...?" After weighing the pros and cons, the grandson of Old Man Qian took the initiative to ask.

"Rules are rules. The Li family didn't break them...others have no right to make irresponsible remarks." Old Qian waved his hand firmly and said, "It's fate. Whatever happens, just watch the fun."

……

Yin Family Pharmacy, second floor.

Ren also felt the terrifying pressure of the bronze coffin's shadow. Curious, he asked Xiaopang, "...You...did you dig up our ancestors?! Just to sell more medicine? Isn't that a bit unfilial?"

Fatty Li sniffed and frowned, saying, "Don't make blind guesses! No one can say for sure what's buried in our Li family's 'Hanging Coffin of Time'. It could be an ancestor, a wisp of Dao rhyme capable of destroying heaven and earth, or a treasure or divine weapon with a vestige of the Dao's spirit... or perhaps an ominous holy spirit, an evil object... In short, anything is possible."

"Fuck, you don't even know what's in your own coffin?" Ren was a little confused.

"It's really too long ago, so long ago that we can't even trace it back..." Fatty Li shook his head slightly. "The depths of the God's Tomb are inaccessible. Countless years have passed, and we don't even know how many coffins like this one have been hanging there..."

"Hanging Coffins of Time?!" Ren Ye muttered this unfamiliar word, feeling even more bewildered and lost. "What the hell is this Xuhuang Village?! Why does this tiny little village give me the feeling...even more unfathomable and difficult to glimpse than the Nine Li Emperor's Tomb?"

He was very confused and asked again, "Xiaopang, you just said... there might be an ancestor buried in this coffin?! Then I want to ask, if it is really... will the ancestor wake up?"

When Fat Li heard this, a look of caution and confusion clearly appeared on his round face.

Ren also sensed his expression and immediately added, "I'm being presumptuous. How can a stray dog ​​like me, like you, dare to ask about your brother Li's family secrets? I didn't make things clear enough...!"

Fatty Li rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You weren't like this before. Why have you been showing such an inferiority complex and vulnerability these past few days?"

"I do feel a little inferior...!" Ren Ye's acting was superb, his expression was very lost, and even his eyes were a little red.

"Oh, forget it, it's okay to tell you about this." Ever since the drugging incident, Fatty Li had already accepted the other party as his friend. So even though he knew that the other party was using his inferiority complex to morally blackmail him, he finally followed his words and replied, "Second uncle said that if there really is an ancestor in the coffin, it will wake up in this life just like you and me. It's just... that it can't live on in this world. The timing is wrong, and it will be destroyed in an instant."

Ren was also shocked by this answer. "Is this just bullshit, or is it really true?! If there really were cultivators who could sleep for such a long time, wouldn't the world be full of immortals? Then why would we all just sleep together?"

He was a little skeptical in his heart, but Xiaopang's expression was very firm, so he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

However, there was one thing he was sure of, that he would find a way to visit the God's Tomb no matter what, because when the bronze coffin appeared just now, he felt a very familiar breath.

According to Xiaopang and the storyteller, he also walked out of the Tomb of the Gods, which means... that familiar breath might be the way he came from.

Oh, Xiaopang just said that if there really was an ancestor buried in the coffin, it would be the same as him and me... What does that mean? Could it be that Xiaopang also walked out of the tomb of the gods?

Damn it, shouldn't this kind of treatment only be reserved for the protagonist? How could he be treated this way, and even better off than me?

He can't be a player, right?

The major events that happened today undoubtedly revealed many secrets of Xuwang Village. These unfamiliar information mixed together also made Ren Ye's thoughts very active.

He wrote them down one by one and analyzed them fiercely.

……

In the tea room, Yin Hong, the head of the Yin family, was looking at the "bronze coffin on the full moon" with his hands behind his back, feeling helpless and desolate.

In recent years, people in the village have been saying that the Li family's opportunities and heritage in the God's Tomb had long been exhausted over the endless years.

Every time the road out of hometown is opened, it represents conquest and survival. In order to protect Xuwang Village and themselves, the four major families will awaken the "Hanging Coffin of Time" in the tomb of the gods in desperate situations.

Therefore, after this long period of consumption, many people believed that the Li family's foundation had been exhausted.

But today... Li Taishan used the jade mirror to shake the void, causing the vision of the bright moon burying the ancient coffin to emerge in the world. This was not only a move to suppress his Yin family, but also to tell everyone in Xuwang Village that your speculation is ridiculous, and the Li family is still an unshakable existence here.

Yin Hong looked at the bright moon in the eternal night, and a hint of helplessness and determination appeared on his old face.

If it were a child at home, he might not have imagined the scene at this moment, let alone foreseen the difficulties the Yin family was facing at this moment...

But who is Yin Hong?

He was once a wild dog and even an insignificant ant.

After being surrounded by the intruders, the villages here have become increasingly withered and dead places, and the opportunities of each village are on the verge of extinction. If future generations want to find the road, they must leave their hometown and fight their way out.

In order to prevent their descendants from living like wild dogs and to avoid being resigned ants, the elders of the Yin family had to fight for those rare opportunities in various villages.

It's cruel here, but also extremely fair. As long as you are willing to move forward, as long as you are better than others at anything, you will always be able to succeed.

Countless enlightenment temples will open for you; countless beautiful women will take off their clothes in front of you seductively and charmingly; countless people who once looked down on you and bullied you will be frightened and terrified when you are promoted to a higher level.

The secret inheritance, secret techniques, and treasures accumulated in the village for who knows how many years can also be seen and obtained by the lowly wild dogs.

It is in such an extreme environment that every generation of the Yin family will fight to leave their hometown and strive for opportunities to go further.

Whenever the elders of the Yin family left their hometown, they would leave behind a few talented young descendants. If they all perished, the descendants would have to recuperate, secretly breed, and train their offspring, accumulating strength for the next battle...

This went on repeatedly, and as the great waves washed away the sands, most people left and never came back, but a very small number returned with a full load, and they added houses, concubines, and children. After who knows how many years had passed, they gradually gave birth to masters of the dark energy.

After several migrations, the young Yin Hongcai followed the elders of his clan to Xuwang Village.

They have no background here and have to start from scratch. Their people are selfish to outsiders but very tolerant and united to their own people.

Finally, after generations of hard work and struggle, they finally got the opportunity to turn things around.

When Yin Hong was 26 years old, he was chosen to leave his hometown. After fighting for more than 20 years, he miraculously returned and obtained the recipe for repairing the sky in a secret place outside the village.

From then on, the Yin family started its road to rise, with wealth gathering from all directions and a large population.

But today, they have to face the conflict of interests with the Li family.

This is a battle of life and death, and naturally it will decide life and death. However, the arrival of this day is not a surprise to Yin Hong. Instead, it is a scene he has imagined countless times in his mind.

Therefore, it was not beyond Li Taishan's expectations that he would trigger the "Hanging Coffin of Time" phenomenon today.

The efforts and accumulation of generations of the Yin family were integrated and ultimately carried forward by Yin Hong. How could such a man, who carried on the past and led the family to glory, not imagine that the rumors about the decline of the Li family might just be unfounded speculation?

Li Jia's exposure of his true strength was the worst outcome he had anticipated, but he really had no choice.

In a jungle hunting ground, if you want to successfully drive out a tiger and take over its territory, a bloody battle must take place. This is inevitable. Even if it is a tiger father and a tiger son, there will definitely be a winner.

The Zhao family is by no means a life-saving straw. Sharing the elixir formula and benefits is nothing more than turning a stray dog ​​into a domestic dog with someone to take care of it.
