Ying Li's heart was filled with surprise and joy. She knew that the appearance of this crystal and the subtle changes in the Soul Flower might indicate that her realm had reached a new level. If the Soul Flower fully blossomed, she would have the power to change the way of heaven. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and channeled the limited divine power within her to seal away this fleeting realization, waiting to understand Jiang Chen's situation before retreating to further her understanding.

Ying Ni stood up, her movements light yet firm, as if every subtle movement was imbued with unquestionable resolve. She slowly gathered up the array disc from the ground, each movement revealing a secluded tranquility. She slowly walked toward the ancient coffin, each step a silent dialogue with millennia of time. When she stood before the coffin, she paused, her gaze deep into the sleeping general's. Her voice was deep and powerful, as if it pierced the shackles of time, carrying an ancient and mysterious power: "General, they have agreed to release you, but there are conditions."

Jiang Chen's expression, usually impassive, now flickered to a faint smile. His existence had once been a scourge to the human world, his roaming the world met with endless pursuit and hatred. Sealed within this cold, black iron coffin for millennia, the black iron above his head his only companion. He no longer cared about the terms; to escape this endless loneliness, he was willing to pay any price. "I agree to any terms."

Ying Ni heard Jiang Chen's unhesitating response, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within her. She knew that, trapped for so long, his temper had been tempered by time. She began to cast a spell, her hands dancing in the air as if weaving an invisible web. As her gestures shifted, a tiny passage appeared in the center of the coffin, like a portal to another world. Ying Ni carefully removed a crystal and placed it at the entrance.

The crystal slowly slid into Jiang Chen's body. Ying Ni controlled it, allowing it to absorb a trace of Jiang Chen's original power. Jiang Chen felt a powerful energy surge through his body. Although he had no sense of pain, the crystal's invasion still gave him a strange feeling.

At the center of the crystal, a drop of Jiang Chen's primordial power quietly hovered, like the brightest star in the night sky. Ying Li's gaze was fixed on this drop of power, her heartbeat quickening with every breath. She reached out, her fingertips lightly touching the surface of the crystal. An invisible force began to surge under her control. Following her will, the primordial power within the crystal began to tremble, slowly detaching from Jiang Chen's body, like a flower gently falling from a branch, with an indescribable grace and mystery.

Ying Xuan carefully caught the crystal. It warmed slightly in her palm, as if alive. She gazed into the crystal's interior. There, not only was Jiang Chen's primordial power present, but also a drop of Elder Jiang's blood. The presence of both seemed to foreshadow the imminent birth of some mysterious contract. She took a deep breath and began to unleash her unfathomable divine power, activating the laws within the crystal. Under her guidance, they merged like two intertwining rivers.

As Ying Li's divine power continued to flow into it, the crystal began to emit a soft glow, gradually becoming dazzling, as if it could pierce all darkness. Under her power, the Origin Land and the blood drop began to merge, their union unleashing a powerful wave of energy, like the surging waves of the ocean. Finally, when the two completely merged, the crystal erupted with a dazzling light, piercing through the three bodies and soaring into the sky, as if reaching the horizon and illuminating the entire universe.

The sky suddenly became overcast, as if the heavens had sensed the call of this power. A golden thunderbolt descended from the heavens, striking the crystal with unerring precision. Ying Li knew this was the heavens' approval, the sacred seal of the contract between the two parties. Her heart was filled with awe and excitement. She knew that from this moment on, the contract between Jiang Chen and Elder Jiang had been witnessed by heaven and earth, like an ancient oath, transcending time and space, eternal and indestructible.

At the same time, after the heavens unleashed golden thunder, a chilling aura permeated the heavens and earth. A golden lightning-shaped mark suddenly appeared on the foreheads of Jiang Chen and Elder Jiang, as if bestowed upon them by the heavens. Jiang Chen felt a surge of information flood into his mind. Through this mark, he gained insight into the specifics of current society, as if the entire history and present state of the world were unfolding before him. Elder Jiang, on the other hand, felt a surge of power within him. The mark revealed that he could share Jiang Chen's physique, a surge of indescribable excitement within him. They exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with anticipation and awe for their unknown fate.

Seeing the contract signed, Ying Ni began to work on unsealing the coffin. She gazed at the intricate seal, her brow furrowed. The complexity of the seal far exceeded her imagination. She wasn't well-versed in sealing magic. While formations and talismans could be learned by those with talent, mastering sealing required only those with special bloodlines. Ying Ni held her forehead in her hand. She hadn't imagined there was another seal hidden beneath the talisman. It seemed she would need outside help. Thinking quickly, she decided to contact the elders of the Tianji Sect, as they were the only ones who might hold the key to unlocking this ancient seal.

Ying Ni formed hand seals in front of her, creating a curtain of water. She continued to cast spells, until the curtain finally stabilized, shimmering like a mirror. This was the art of transmitting sound over a thousand miles. Unlike ordinary sound transmission, this was like a video call on a cell phone, except that it didn't require a signal. Suddenly, a curtain of water appeared before Tianjizi, who was preaching in the Tianji Sect. This was the art of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, a technique he had only taught to a few people, and in this realm, only Ying Ni could perform it. Tianjizi quickly formed hand seals, and the scene on Ying Ni's side appeared on the curtain of water. He saw Ying Ni gazing at an ancient coffin with a solemn expression.

Tianjizi's gaze, sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Ying Huan. The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, as if even time had stood still. Ying Huan said nothing, simply gently waving her arm, slowly moving a curtain of water apart, revealing the coffin hidden within. Strange runes covered the coffin, gleaming faintly in the sunlight, as bright as stars.

Tianjizi's gaze was instantly drawn to the runes, a flicker of surprise and curiosity in his eyes. He hadn't imagined such an exquisite seal existed in this world. His thoughts drifted to the ancient history of this world. The myths and legends, buried by time, seemed to come alive in this moment. He felt an inexplicable excitement, as if he were about to uncover a great secret.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there." Tianjizi quickly turned and briefly explained the situation to the leader of the Huaguo Tianji Sect. He then took out several spirit stones and expertly set up a small teleportation array. He set the nodes and stepped into the array. There was only a slight sound, and in less than a second, Tianjizi appeared beside Ying Meng, as if he had never left.

Tianjizi acted swiftly and decisively. He immediately took action, using the convenience of the teleportation array to almost instantly cross the distance of space and appear in front of Ying Ni. Ying Ni saw Tianjizi appear so quickly, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
