Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Null Void Projections, Covert Dragon Coffin

Upon hearing Jun Moxiao’s words, Lei Qinian’s face turned even redder.

He had not expected that a disciple of the Dragon God Sect must possess the Dragon God Bloodline. Otherwise, they would not be able to practice the sect’s ultimate techniques.

”Oh, Senior, I apologize for my imprudence,” Lei Qinian said, hanging his head in dejection as he quickly took a few steps back.

Ye Yun glanced at Jun Moxiao, thinking, This little guy is a bit too outspoken.

The Dragon God Sect... Ye Yun mused. Although it’s true that only disciples with the Dragon God Bloodline can learn the three ultimate techniques, the reality is different. Even a hundred thousand years ago, not all disciples under the Dragon God Sect possessed the Dragon God Bloodline. There were also quite a few ordinary human disciples, or disciples with other Divine Beast bloodlines. Now, a hundred thousand years have passed. The ultimate techniques of the Dragon God Sect, passed down through generations of Sect Masters, are limited to just those three. Therefore, in Jun Moxiao’s mind, the Dragon God Sect could only narrowly accept disciples possessing the Dragon God Bloodline. One can’t blame Jun Moxiao for this.

”Lei Qinian, you can join my Dragon God Sect,” Ye Yun said to Lei Qinian with a smile, giving an affirmative answer.

”Senior, but I... I don’t have the Dragon God Bloodline...” Lei Qinian said helplessly.

”It’s alright. Some of the ultimate techniques of the Dragon God Sect can also be practiced by disciples who don’t possess the Dragon God Bloodline,” Ye Yun said with a laugh.

”Oh!” Lei Qinian responded faintly.

Ye Yun looked at Lei Qinian with a nostalgic expression in his eyes and sighed, ”Your Lei Family originally excelled in lightning-based cultivation techniques, but the version passed down to this day is incomplete.”

”Senior, how do you know that?” Lei Qinian asked in shock.

”Don’t forget, I share an old bond with your Lei Family’s ancestors. Of course, I’m familiar with your Lei Family’s Cultivation Technique,” Ye Yun said with a faint smile. He raised his fingertip and lightly tapped Lei Qinian’s forehead.

The next moment, a complete set of lightning-based cultivation techniques appeared in Lei Qinian’s mind. The Cultivation Technique was the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Sutra, the same lightning-based technique the Lei Family had passed down for tens of thousands of years. However, the new Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Sutra he received was far more complete than the one his father had taught him.

Lei Qinian was greatly shocked, an indescribable emotion filling his heart.

”This Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Sutra, if practiced to profound mastery, is quite powerful,” Ye Yun praised.

”Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this cultivation technique!” Lei Qinian’s eyes reddened as he knelt with a thud.

”Brother Lei, you shouldn’t call him Senior now. You are now part of our Dragon God Sect. Shouldn’t you call him Ancestor?” Jun Moxiao scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile.

Lei Qinian had a sudden realization and immediately kowtowed, ”Lei Qinian pays his respects to the Ancestor!”

”Get up. You are the only one left in the Lei Family now,” Ye Yun said with a sigh.

He took out a green bead and smiled, ”There is a world inside this; you can cultivate in seclusion there. Don’t worry about resources. You can come out once you break through to the Eternal Realm.”

After he finished speaking, a green light enveloped Lei Qinian, who disappeared in an instant.

A sliver of Ye Yun’s Primordial Spirit entered this Miniature World, gave Lei Qinian some cultivation resources, and after a few simple instructions, retreated.

Ye Yun did this partly for personal reasons. The Lei Family is down to this single descendant; he needs to be well protected. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face my old friend. Once Lei Qinian breaks through to the Eternal Realm, there will be no further danger when he emerges. For Lei Qinian, I simply wish for his safety and well-being. As for the three juniors of the Dragon God Sect—Su Wanyi, Luo Li, and Jun Moxiao—they carry the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and thus naturally shoulder heavier responsibilities and pressures. That’s why I will entrust these three with significant responsibilities.

After settling Lei Qinian, Ye Yun’s mood lightened considerably.

He was just about to enter the carriage when he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the void.

At this moment, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon did likewise, gazing up at the sky, seeming to have sensed something as well.

”What did you sense?” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon asked alertly.

”You’ll see in a moment. Someone is using Void Throw,” the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said in a deep voice.

The next moment, as the spatial fluctuations intensified, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and the Big Black Horse, who were both at the Eternal Realm, also felt it.

A faint, spectral image of a coffin appeared in a certain part of the void. The spectral coffin was enormous; from the ground, it looked like a small hill.

”What in the world is this?” Ye Yun chuckled as he looked at the spectral coffin.

A hundred thousand years have passed, he thought. All sorts of malicious entities have begun to appear on the Cangnan Continent, which truly surprises me, the old Ancestor of the Dragon God Sect. Why weren’t there such interesting things a hundred thousand years ago? If there had been, my energy wouldn’t have been spent teasing all sorts of pretty girls.

The spectral coffin, initially faint, gradually solidified. Its surface textures also became remarkably clear and distinct.

This particular coffin was pitch black with various patterns on its surface, but what was most striking were the various dragon-shaped carvings on the coffin’s four faces. Many of the dragon-shaped carvings were lifelike and uniquely styled. These are all different Divine Dragon races, Ye Yun observed.

”This is outrageous! Who would be so bored as to carve dragon designs onto a coffin?” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon cursed. As an Ancient Dragon Clan member, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon was extremely sensitive to such things. To carve the likeness of the noble God Dragon Clan onto a coffin—isn’t this a mockery and a curse upon us?

”Don’t be hasty. These Null Void Projections haven’t finished yet,” Ye Yun said with a faint smile, his expression unchanging.

”Alright, My Lord,” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon agreed, feeling a little uncomfortable. It squinted at the sky, its eyes emitting sharp glints of light. I must see what other tricks are hidden behind this coffin!

”Is this... could this be the Covert Dragon Coffin?” Mu Qing’s expression changed slightly as she looked at the black, ghostly coffin covered in dragon motifs, a look of disbelief on her face.

”What is the history of this Covert Dragon Coffin?” Ye Yun turned his head to look at Mu Qing.

”My Lord, there is a popular verse on the Cangnan Continent: ’Covert Dragon Coffin, Coffin Bearers nigh, Dragon Cave appears, to bury the living,’” Mu Qing said respectfully.

”So it’s the Covert Dragon Coffin,” Big Black Cat exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Mu Qing’s words, apparently also aware of the infamous name.

”How should this verse be interpreted?” Ye Yun asked with a smile.

This verse sounds cryptic and secretive, hinting at some clandestine dealings, he thought.

”My Lord, there’s a mysterious group of Coffin Carriers on the Cangnan Continent. No one knows their origins. Whenever a Dragon Cave is about to appear, they cast Null Void Projections—first the Covert Dragon Coffin, then the Coffin Carriers. Afterwards, within the region where the Dragon Cave is to appear, they carry the Covert Dragon Coffin, traversing the void above for nine days...” Mu Qing explained in a low voice.

Hardly had her words faded when the void fluctuated again, and the spectral images of four masked, white-robed men appeared. After these four white-robed figures materialized, they positioned themselves at the four corners and abruptly lifted the Covert Dragon Coffin.
