Chapter 956: Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin
Chapter 956: Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin
The black-robed elder's hazy eyes, sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Gray Second Young Master.
The Demon Sect Overlord remained silent, but the evil dragon's might emanating from his body was enough to strike fear into people's hearts.
Bear Elder's aura was slightly weaker, but he was a late-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator, his flesh and blood towering like a bloodthirsty bear demon.
The atmosphere became oppressively tense.
Gray Second Young Master's scalp tingled, knowing the situation was beyond his control, and his life was no longer in his hands. He sighed,
"This is an extremely sinister burial method called the Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin Tomb."
"Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin?" The black-robed elder asked in a deep voice.
Gray Second Young Master nodded, feeling a chill in his heart, "As the name suggests, it involves killing ten thousand people, placing their corpses in a huge coffin, gathering death qi, resentment, and underground Yin qi within the coffin to nurture corpses."
He flicked his fingers, shooting out a sword light, slicing a corpse spirit that pounced towards him into pieces, and then said, "Where did these corpse monsters come from?"
Unfortunately, the black-robed young master intervened, spoiling the plan.
"Elder Xun, please go first." Shen Shouhang bowed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically hired Gray Second Young Master, who carried the Maoshan inheritance, to come to this Solitary Mountain tomb.
Xun Ziyou held a jade lock in his hand.
"It seems so." Shen Shouhang said.
This should also be a Maoshan earth concealment technique.
The Demon Sect Overlord's dignified gaze trembled, and he stepped forward, entering the pitch-black tomb pit.
He turned and instructed, "Two people follow me down, the rest stay here and guard this tomb pit."
This elder's divine sense was extremely powerful, and even Mo Hua felt as if he was falling into a sea of blood, his chest tightening. But in just a moment, the black-robed elder seemed to sense Gray Second Young Master's location.
When it was Shen Qing Sheng's turn, he suddenly shouted as if in panic, "I'm not going down, it's so eerie inside, you want me to die..."
Those tomb raiders were probably not simple either.
This tomb pit was too gloomy, likely hiding great danger.
A figure staggered and fell to the ground.
On the other side, Shen Shouhang's heart also sank. Along the way, he hadn't seen Qing'er's corpse, nor any signs of his shattered protective treasure, indicating that Qing'er had also been taken into this...
Corpses and blood were scattered everywhere.
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, and then his heart suddenly felt a chill. He looked up and saw a large hand in front of him.
"It's indeed... beyond belief..."
At least for Mo Hua, aside from the array formations, the other Maoshan Dao arts he saw were somewhat confusing.
When they reached the pit, Gray Second Young Master still hesitated.
After all, the door was already open, and he was no longer needed.
Fan Jin's heart secretly trembled.
A Shen Family cultivator, following Shen Shouhang's instructions, turned and left to gather more people.
Such a bloody scene, such intense fighting.
"It is..." Gray Second Young Master's voice trembled.
Could Mo Hua, that kid, survive in such a situation?
"Qing'er... you must not die..." Shen Shouhang silently prayed in his heart, his gaze intense as he stepped into the tomb pit.
"I only heard about it when seeking the Dao in Maoshan, from some senior elders, but I've never seen it before..."
Based on his experience, the chances of survival were slim.
"Yes." Gray Second Young Master nodded, "This bronze coffin is actually a seal, sealing the true burial."
Xun Ziyou was a bit surprised but still nodded, "Alright."
The black-robed elder's gaze turned gentle as he looked at Mo Hua.

"Who is buried here?" Xun Ziyou asked.
Based on his observations of Gray Second Young Master, the Maoshan inheritance seemed to be a comprehensive cultivation inheritance specifically targeting corpse ghosts, including unique cultivation methods, Dao arts, talismans, array formations, spirit artifacts, and special secret techniques...
The black-robed elder was startled, then immediately flicked his sleeves, shooting out a blood-colored bone needle that pierced an empty spot several zhang away.
On the jade lock, Mo Hua's life force fluctuated between white and red.
"Let's go.
"The Black Robe Elder spoke."
"Once this tomb's formation is set up, the thing sealed within must be a huge secret, and the true coffin must contain something even more terrifying..."
At the same time, in the passageway.
Mo Hua stood in place, not moving, pretending to be unable to avoid it.
"If there's a false coffin, there must be a true one."
Xun Ziyou's eyes slightly narrowed, "Then, let's go in and take a look?"
"You..."
Gray Second Young Master's voice trembled.
These secret techniques might truly be useful.
Gray Second Young Master's face was solemn as he walked towards the massive golden brass casket.
Therefore, using Maoshan Dao Art to melt the bronze casket and open the earth gate, Gray Second Young Master immediately wanted to escape.
The next moment, his throat suddenly hurt, and a piece of white bone pierced through his throat.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground, and Gray Second Young Master's face immediately turned pale. He couldn't move, and said, "Senior, spare my life!"
It seemed that Gray Second Young Master had indeed taken out all his secret techniques.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and the stones cracked and crumbled.
It was Mo Hua's turn, and although Mo Hua actually wanted to go in, he was afraid that his intentions would be too obvious and arouse suspicion. He didn't want to appear uncooperative like Gray Second Young Master and Shen Qing Sheng, so he also looked troubled and stammered, "I don't want to go down..."
Judging from the remaining evil and strange blood qi, these Golden Core late-stage cultivators were probably still powerful demon cultivators...
"Not to mention, in this place where sects stand tall and families pass down their heritage in Qianxue, under the watchful eyes of the Dao Court, someone built such a tomb..."
Mo Hua had no choice but to sigh and close his eyes, jumping into the abyss-like tomb pit.
It was as if a gate to hell had been opened in the mortal world.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and he used white bones as knives, one by one, to decapitate the Golden Core cultivators of the Shen family.
The Black Robe Elder's gaze became increasingly dangerous.
If they still wanted to go to the deeper tomb pit, they couldn't afford to waste too much time on themselves.
Just as the Black Robe Elder turned his head, Gray Second Young Master quickly picked up a jade talisman and stuck it on his forehead.
He wouldn't go to that gloomy underground place.
At this moment, Xun Ziyou and the others all realized it.
This Shen Shouhang had deep thoughts, and Mo Hua couldn't see through him.
Gray Second Young Master's face turned pale, and he shook his head, saying, "The key to the Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin Tomb is in the word 'sealed'."
But just as Gray Second Young Master finished speaking, the Black Robe Elder's eyes shone with brilliance, "You mean, there's a real tomb? Quick, lead us there."
This meant that Mo Hua would also go in? It must be...
If they really encountered something, it would be better to rely on the Taoxuan Gate Sect than to stay with the Shen family.
The remaining Golden Core cultivators dispersed and guarded the surroundings of the tomb pit.
Now that the lock had been melted, the door leading to the deeper tomb had been opened...
At this moment, in front of the golden brass casket, the scene was exceptionally tragic and strange.
"Elder Shen," Xun Ziyou said, "What is this tomb pit?"
Looking at this spectacular and profound Maoshan Dao Art, as well as the pitch-black and gloomy pit entrance that exuded a bone-chilling cold, like the entrance to the Netherworld, Mo Hua took a breath of cool air.
He grabbed at thin air, and blood threads appeared, weaving into a spear that pierced into a piece of ground in the distance.
After Xun Ziyou and the other two entered the dark tomb pit, Shen Shouhang's gaze turned cold, and he coldly smiled, saying in a low voice, "Hell has no gates, yet you insist on breaking in..."
Following these traces, Xun Ziyou didn't take long to find the deepest part of the underground palace and the huge golden brass casket."
"Therefore, this inhumane burial method has long been forbidden in the cultivation world."
But before he could cut off his arm, a bear-like demon cultivator appeared behind him, and with a giant bear-like hand, he grabbed Gray Second Young Master's shoulder.
He originally had the thought of taking Mo Hua captive as well.
Moreover, the Shen family...
Gray Second Young Master knew he had no other choice but to sigh and say, "Alright."
But no one paid attention to him.
Shen Shouhang frowned, thinking that this was the Shen family's tomb, and the depths might hide the Shen family's secrets. After all, they were outsiders, and it might not be convenient for them to enter.
Gray Second Young Master nodded, his expression as calm as water, and said, "This is a killing formation, and that golden brass casket is a false one, used to nurture ten thousand corpses."
Upon hearing this, the Black Robe Elder understood, and his gaze turned sharp, "This false casket is built so grandly and kills countless people, so the true casket must be even more terrifying."
The bone needle pierced through the air, piercing a vague shadow.
Gray Second Young Master sighed, gritted his teeth, and jumped into the tomb pit.
The jade talisman shattered, and with a flash of light, Gray Second Young Master's entire figure disappeared.
On the ground, there were pits and cracks everywhere, as well as shaking and shattered rocks.
It was Gray Second Young Master, about to escape.
Shen Shouhang's expression turned as calm as water, deep in thought, and finally, he sighed, "Since it's like this, I'll go down with Elder Xun."
"No one is buried here," Shen Shouhang said indifferently.
But unexpectedly, using the Maoshan Substitute Escape Art, they had deceived that Black Robe Elder, and this black-robed youth called Xuan Gongzi had also intervened.
Being watched by this person, his divine perception seemed to be sucked away.
"Then we'll trouble Gray Second Young Master." The Black Robe Elder spoke indifferently.
"Now that the Dao Court is unified, and demons are eliminated to protect the Dao, even some major demon sects would face great difficulties if they wanted to kill ten thousand people for burial..."
But no one cared about him.
The matters of tombs and graves were not something Mo Hua was well-versed in, despite his demon cultivation background.
"My Void Gate Sect's direct lineage is likely inside. I was ordered by the ancestor to bring him back to the sect safely."
Gray Second Young Master remained silent.
Gray Second Young Master forced a smile, "At this point, why bother lying to me, Elder? I only wish to keep my life, nothing more."
"Moreover, this is happening in the Qianxue State Realm. It's truly a 'defying heaven' situation, a grand scheme that ordinary cultivators couldn't possibly set up."
Experience and knowledge were also a form of a cultivator's strength.
Two deep-cultivation Shen family Golden Core cultivators followed him into the tomb pit.
Shen Shouhang shook his head, "I don't know either..."
"Even if more Golden Core cultivators came, they would still likely die without a doubt."
"Elder..." Gray Second Young Master frowned.
In the end, only the Black Robe Elder and the Demon Sect leader remained.
Then, the inscriptions shattered, and the ground collapsed.
He took out a bronze coin sword, three candle stands, some blood ink, and a set of profound Dao Inscription Seal Array tools, including a Yellow Jade Ancient Talisman, and a series of Maoshan tools.
As he performed the Dao technique, something seemed to be triggered by Gray Second Young Master.
"The Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin Tomb breeds that... 'Twin Spirit' flesh corpse statue?" The Black Robe Elder asked.
Xun Ziyou hesitated.
A blood-colored bone needle pierced Gray Second Young Master's arm. Gray Second Young Master gritted his teeth and pulled out the bone needle, intending to sever his arm to escape.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Shouhang silently, his expression indifferent. "Elder Shen, this might not be a simple 'Yin Evil Spirit'..."
His gaze sharpened, "You're from the Maoshan lineage, and you're using secret passages. Don't tell me you can't break the seal."
The treasures of tombs were temporary, but nurturing an array master could lead to long-term tomb raiding.
Beneath the melting golden brass casket, a massive, pitch-black pit entrance was revealed.
"I need some Maoshan secret techniques."
Xun Ziyou was a Void Gate Sect sword cultivator elder.
The chance to escape was within these few breaths. If he couldn't catch Mo Hua, he could only flee himself.
So many powerful demon cultivators.
The Black Robe Elder frowned.
Xun Ziyou's brows furrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.
"How do we break this seal?"
Shen family's group, along with Xun Ziyou, Fan Jin, and Mr. Gu's trio, took steps forward.
But just as he took a few steps, he heard a creaking sound. Sensing something amiss, he turned around and saw a terrifying sight.
Gray Second Young Master broke out in cold sweat.
"The Shen family is large, with many clan members. This is a backup, and I took the initiative to cultivate it. I don't think I need to report to the Void Gate Sect, do I?" Shen Shouhang glanced at Xun Ziyou and spoke indifferently.
Mo Hua was also secretly observing.
"You mean... the Ten Thousand Corpse Sealed Coffin is actually a 'seal'? And the flesh corpse statue is just a guardian of the seal?"
Although no real death omen appeared, Xun Ziyou's mood was still anxious and uneasy.
Such a dangerous, sinister, and chaotic affair was definitely something Mo Hua would be involved in.
The Black Robe Elder's turbid gaze fell on the silent Demon Sect leader, and he said with a heavy tone, "Third Prince, my Great Wilderness clan's..."
Xun Ziyou followed Shen Shouhang's gaze and looked at the ground, at the sinister tomb. "This group of tomb raiders killed a corpse monster here, broke a seal, melted the brass casket, and then... entered this pit?"
Occasionally, Corpse Fiends appeared, the ground shook, and strong spirit power and evil energy fluctuations were felt.
"No burial?" Xun Ziyou frowned, "Such a grand tomb, yet no burial?"
"Fake, puppet?"
The Black Robe Elder looked around, pondered for a moment, and asked Gray Second Young Master, "Is the entrance to the true casket beneath this brass casket?"
People like Mo Hua were always involved.
Shen Shouhang's expression turned grave.
Gray Second Young Master had no choice but to stop.
With a glance from the Black Robe Elder, the Bear Demon Cultivator finally ceased.
Suddenly, a blood-colored sword light slashed towards them.
Normally, he would have dodged from a distance, but now that Mo Hua was inside, he had to take this risky journey.
Gray Second Young Master made a quick decision. Seeing his plan failed, he no longer dwelled on Mo Hua and instead, he pinched a technique, stomped the ground, and his entire body sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
All the Shen family's Golden Core cultivators seemed to be under a spell, allowing themselves to be slaughtered.
The messenger cultivator was terrified and wanted to flee, but suddenly, a blood-colored figure appeared before him, revealing a well-mannered yet sinister face.
However, Mo Hua guessed that some of the 'rituals' were redundant, meant to mislead others and prevent the true inheritance from being stolen.
The massive golden brass casket began to melt, and golden liquid flowed on the ground, outlining a huge inscription.
Xun Ziyou spoke firmly, even invoking the ancestor.
Before the Black Robe Elder, he dared not be perfunctory.
After that, everyone remained silent and continued forward, walking through the passageway. They navigated the forked path a few times before entering the rightmost path, leading to the underground palace.
Mo Hua watched as Uncle Ash set up his altar, using the Dao Inscription Seal Array, Yellow Jade Ancient Talisman, and walking the Eight Trigram Steps, performing a series of mysterious rituals with great seriousness.
Xun Ziyou nodded, his eyes filled with sword intent, and stepped into the pitch-black pit.
The Black Robe Elder stopped and warned, "This is the last time."
However, it was undeniable that Uncle Ash's Maoshan Dao Art was indeed effective.
After that, the rest of the group jumped into the pit one by one.
A chilling fear emerged from the depths of Mo Hua's heart.
Shen Shouhang's eyelids twitched, and he coldly said, "The underground is filled with Yin evil spirits, and they've nested in this place."
The simple, bright yellow brass casket had nurtured such a terrifyingly large Corpse Demon Statue.
Facing this bloody scene, Shen Qing Sheng, who had never seen such a sight before, immediately covered his mouth and nose, unable to stop himself from vomiting.
...
"Thank you for your efforts," the Black Robe Elder said, using his eyes to observe the eerie pit.
Uncle Ash cursed inwardly.
Mo Hua and the others had left too many traces as they walked ahead.
The "Xuan Gongzi" stood within two zhang of Mo Hua, seemingly always keeping an eye on Mo Hua's movements. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, he drew his sword, creating a trail of blood light and striking towards Uncle Ash's palm.
Among Shen Xiu Yan's Golden Core cultivators, one of them suddenly shed their clothes, revealing a human-like figure that was neither human nor ghost, with a pale, demon-like body.
The more Uncle Ash thought about it, the more he felt a chilling fear.
Before leaving, Uncle Ash even considered taking Mo Hua with him.
"Uncle Ash? He wants to capture me?"
There must be something wrong with this Shen family tomb.
The Black Robe Elder frowned, "The Maoshan Substitute Escape Talisman?"
A
T
Xun Ziyou smirked.
"A whole ten thousand living people, this is not a small number... After these people die and pile up, their resentment becomes terrifyingly strong."
Xun Ziyou didn't need to think about it.
The huge casket was like a "door lock".
Like this, the group returned to the depths of the underground palace.
After walking for a while, Xun Ziyou looked at the passageway and sensed something strange. He asked Shen Shouhang, "Elder Shen, is this the Shen family tomb?"
Xun Ziyou's heart raced, and he couldn't help but lower his head again, looking at the Jade Lock, finding it hard to believe.
The Black Robe Elder's expression softened slightly, "Uncle Ash, rest assured. We will keep our word. After the task is completed, the heritage treasure in the tomb will be divided equally between us."
"Wealth and honor come with risk," the Black Robe Elder said, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning, "This is what you yourself said."
"The door to the tomb has been opened," Uncle Ash wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief, bowing to the Black Robe Elder.
He was also quite interested in "Maoshan Dao Art".
Mo Hua could almost see with his naked eyes a thin layer of mist slowly dissipating, revealing a trail of karmic cause and effect, filling the surroundings with a dark, fresh blood-like aura.
"Send more people to deliver the message and gather more people to completely seal this pit."
Master Gu followed behind him.
Even if he couldn't understand everything clearly now, it was still worth broadening his horizons and gaining some knowledge.
In this day and age, talents were the real treasures.
Before them was a deep pit, and within the pit stood a huge, magnificent bright yellow brass casket.
Uncle Ash covered his arms, feeling resigned, and walked towards the dark pit sealed by the bright yellow brass casket.
Moreover, the Maoshan procedures were quite effective in protection.
Some karmic cause and effect were turning, detaching, and completely breaking down...
"Yes, Elder," Shen Xiu Yan's Golden Core cultivator bowed.
He wanted to continue attacking and capture Mo Hua, but Xuan Gongzi had already taken a step forward, blocking Mo Hua's path.
Xun Ziyou didn't respond but his gaze intensified, "Since there's no corpse buried here..."
After that, Uncle Ash led the way, "Everyone, follow me."
The sound of cracking bones echoed.
What terrifying thing was actually buried in this tomb, something beyond the capabilities of a regular Golden Core cultivator like him?
His consciousness gradually scattered, and his body slowly collapsed to the ground, ending his life.
It was likely that several late-stage Golden Core cultivators had exhausted all their means to fight against the tide of corpses, resulting in such a devastating impact.
The ground was filled with the mangled limbs and blurred flesh of Corpse Demons, emitting a putrid stench.
"The false coffin is the true coffin's seal, meant to seal everything and prevent others from knowing."
Shen Shouhang's face turned extremely unsightly, especially when he saw the defeated Corpse Demons, the melted brass casket, and the exposed huge pit.
"Remove the seal of the false coffin and lead us to the real tomb," the Black Robe Elder insisted.
The Pale Human Demon killed him and then struck down the remaining "puppet"-like Shen family Golden Core cultivators, slaughtering them all. He then dipped his brush in their blood and drew a crimson evil array on the ground.
The evil array enveloped the bright yellow brass casket and the pit beneath it.
After completing this, the Pale Human Demon walked to the edge of the pit, his features deformed and his voice strange, "Everyone's here, so... let's all die inside..."
It grinned viciously and then leaped into the pitch-black pit.
