Tianjizi sat cross-legged in the center of the ancient tomb, a faint golden glow seemingly surrounding him. As his blood flowed, the veins of the seal on the coffin gradually became visible. His hands danced, forming hand seals, the mysteries of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams flowing through his fingertips. With each calculation, a layer of mysterious runes emerged from the seal, like an ancient incantation echoing through the air. These runes shimmered with a strange light, reflecting the golden glow surrounding Tianjizi, creating an enigmatic scene.

Time flowed by like flowing water. Ying Ni sat in a corner of the tomb, her eyes never leaving Tianjizi. She watched him, motionless for five days, maintaining the same posture, and a surge of respect welled up in her heart. Tianjizi's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and each of his breaths seemed heavy and rhythmic, as if each inhalation and exhalation contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Finally, under Ying Ni's gaze, Tianjizi paused. He calmed the surging Qi and blood within him, slowly sitting down to regulate his breathing. Then, he pulled a Qi and Blood Pill from his bosom and swallowed it without hesitation. This deduction had drained too much of his Qi and Blood, and he needed to recover quickly. The Qi and Blood Pill quickly melted within him, transforming into a warm current that nourished his internal organs and brought a sense of comfort.

Ying Ni stepped forward and whispered, "Is it done?" Tianjizi nodded slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "I understand, but we may not be able to break it with our combined strength." He knew his body hadn't yet recovered to peak condition, and Ying Ni's strength was limited by the suppression of the Heavenly Dao. The combined strength of the two seemed insufficient to break the ancient seal. The seal's immense power, like an unbridgeable chasm between heaven and earth, plunged them into deep thought.

Ying Ni fell into deep thought. The contract had been signed. If they couldn't break the seal, wouldn't their efforts be in vain? As her thoughts turned, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her: a mysterious object that might break the seal. A flicker of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. That mysterious object might be the key to breaking the seal. Ying Ni's heart was filled with anticipation and determination.

Ying Ni harnessed the powerful power of her contract, and with a light and graceful gesture, she traversed the boundaries of time and space, successfully arriving at the inner chambers of the Jiuzhou Pawn Shop. With a subtle shift of her mind, the cabinets, once shrouded in a mysterious mist, gradually began to reveal their true appearance. Before her eyes, as if a veil had been gently lifted, the secrets hidden within the mist gradually emerged clearly. With a gentle wave of her arm, a screen shimmered in golden light appeared before her, flashing with detailed information about the items stored in the cabinets. Ying Ni's eyes scanned the screen rapidly, flipping through the pages until a certain one brought a satisfied smile to her face.

"The Vajra Pestle, a treasure from ancient times for breaking formations," she whispered to herself, the legendary origins of this treasure surfacing in her mind. It had once been pawned at the Jiuzhou Pawn Shop by a powerful Buddhist, and now, finally, she had discovered and reclaimed it. Ying Ni reached out and tapped the screen, and the Vajra Pestle magically appeared in her hand. Her mind, guided by the power of the contract, returned to her body. She felt a heaviness in her hand. The Vajra Pestle exuded an ancient and powerful aura, as if telling of its glorious past.

"Jizi, you'll be responsible for finding the key to this seal. I'll use the Vajra Pestle to break it." Ying Ni turned to Tianjizi, her voice brimming with undeniable resolve and confidence. Tianjizi, observing the Vajra Pestle in Ying Ni's hand, immediately understood her intention. He stood up and carefully searched the coffin, finally locating the weakest point in the seal. "It's right here. However, be careful not to use too much force."

Ying Ni stared at the formation's core, pointed out by Tianjizi. She took a deep breath, raised her vajra pestle, and slowly poured her divine power into it. Her eyes gleamed with unwavering determination and immense strength. Then, wielding the vajra, she fiercely smashed down on the formation's core. With a deafening roar, the sealed core was successfully shattered. Light shone forth, and the entire space seemed to tremble.

As the seal broke, a powerful, sinister force surged from the coffin, as if a messenger of darkness were announcing the end of some ancient taboo. With a resounding thud, like a sigh from heaven and earth, the lid of Jiang Chen's coffin was mercilessly ripped open by this force. A massive figure slowly rose from the coffin, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber, carrying with it an unparalleled majesty and power. The release of this power caused the surrounding air to freeze, and a chilling wind blew, as if even time had stood still.

Jiang Chen recognized Ying Ni's identity immediately. He walked heavily before her and bowed deeply. This bow was a gesture of gratitude for her release from the seal and a reverence for fate. However, Ying Ni immediately retreated, knowing her status and power were too great to bear such a gift. "No, I can't handle it," she said with a hint of fear and humility. Ying Ni's humility was not due to timidity, but rather a deep understanding that everything she did was merely a matter of fate, not personal merit.

Jiang Chen didn't force it. He understood Ying Ni's concerns, so he changed his tone and said, "Then thank the God of Life." His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate any barrier and reach the heart. Tianjizi was nearby. He had come via a teleportation array, but this array had a time limit, and he had to return within that time. Ying Ni pulled a soul flower from her bosom and handed it to Tianjizi, "Here, your reward." This flower was a treasure she had obtained in the secret realm. Back in Xuanming Continent, she hadn't dared to show it to anyone. After returning to Blue Star, the flower was no longer useful to her. This soul flower would not only help Tianjizi improve his cultivation, but also allow him to go further on the path of cultivation.

Tianjizi accepted the Spirit Flower, a satisfied smile on his face. He knew the flower's value, and Ying Ni's generosity. He nodded and turned to leave. The light of the teleportation array began to flicker, signaling his departure. "All right, you guys. I'll be leaving now." His figure gradually dissipated in the teleportation light, leaving behind a silent space. Tianjizi's departure seemed to take away all the noise, leaving only Ying Ni and Jiang Chen.
