Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 200: The West Dowager’s Coffin

A group of floating spirits kept moving forward. They were beating gongs and drums and crying softly. At the back, eight spirits were carrying a stone coffin while they kept moving forward. Wei Huo and the others were right in front of them.

It was such a coincidence that Wei Huo and the others were also dragging a coffin forward. The other party was carrying a coffin as well and walking toward them. If this continued, they would bump into each other.

The two parties were moving in opposite directions, but there was only one path under their feet. One side had to avoid the other.

Here came the question: Which side should do it?

If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they would definitely retreat without hesitation. At the same time, they would also think about it. A living person carrying a coffin was partaking in the burial of a dead person. What would it mean if a dead person carried a coffin?

However, it was impossible for Wei Huo to avoid them. They had three Legendary and Epic-ranked creatures. They were not ordinary people. They all walked their own path. How could they give in to any situation?

The rocs were pulling their coffin, and the dead were carrying their coffin. The two parties were about to collide.

The undead kept emitting an aura of death. The aura of death soared into the sky and almost assumed a solid form. Wei Huo’s Legendary-level force appeared, and his domain intertwined with it. His powerful Qi and blood kept colliding with the aura of death.

However, at that moment, a bell sound came from the center of the silent city. It was extremely loud and it instantly swept across the entire city. The countless dead people who were carrying the coffin disappeared instantly, and the stone coffin turned into bubbles and disappeared completely.

Wei Huo and the others were surprised. The bell had rung, and the spirit bodies had disappeared. What had happened?

They continued moving forward, wanting to see what was in the center of the city.

The city was very weird. 500 years had not left many traces on it. There was a special force protecting it.

Chen Xuanyue’s expression was solemn as she said, “It might be a Legendary weapon or a quasi-Mythical weapon.”

Although she was only a peak Legendary, Chen Xuanyue was knowledgeable. She made a guess when she heard the bell.

Wei Huo said, “Let’s see what it is.”

The group of them walked in the direction of the bell sound. Soon, they arrived in the center of the city. Then, they saw an extremely tall building. Unfortunately, half of the building had collapsed.

The reason the building had collapsed was because a huge stone coffin had smashed into one side of it. Half of the building had collapsed, but a corner of the stone coffin was still exposed. Various red runes were written on it. Under the dim sky, it seemed like it was still emitting a bewitching light.

“What is this?” one of the rocs asked.

They were all confused. They had heard the bell sound coming from there, but they had not seen a bell yet. Instead, they had seen a huge stone coffin.

The stone coffin was really big. It had destroyed half of the nearly 70-story building. The right half was still intact, but the left half was shattered. Most of the stone coffin had entered the building, leaving only a corner outside. That corner was facing the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

The roc took a guess. “Could it be a stone coffin that flew down from the peak of Kunlun Mountain?”

Wei Huo shook his head. “If such a huge stone coffin really fell from such a high place, it would have produced terrifying kinetic energy according to the law of free fall. It would not have just destroyed a building.”

Chen Xuanyue was speechless.

The two rocs were speechless.

Can you use words that we understand? Who can understand when you are talking about free fall?

The importance of nine years of compulsory education and high school knowledge was self-evident. It seemed like it was of no use in real life, but once one embarked on the journey of cultivation and climbed the Immortal Ladder, the importance of this knowledge would become obvious.

It’s impressive to see others controlling water and fire. There’s no hurry. I know how to electrolyze water, light hydrogen, and oxygen. It’s impressive to see that others know about the Thunder God Skill. There’s no hurry. I know the electromagnetic resonance method. It’s cool to see other people’s flying swords taking heads from thousands of miles away. There’s no hurry. When I build a drone, I’ll still chase after the enemy.

Wei Huo and the others walked into the building, planning to observe the huge coffin from a close distance. However, the moment they walked in, they saw a group of spirit bodies. They were exactly the same as the group they had encountered previously. They were holding drums and gongs while crying softly. At the back, eight spirit bodies were carrying a stone coffin.

The spirit bodies that had just dissipated had appeared again. However, they did not move forward this time. A spirit was kneeling on the ground and talking.

Wei Huo walked over as Chen Xuanyue hid in his pocket in fear.

Wei Huo could not help but ask, “You’re all the same. What are you afraid of?”

Chen Xuanyue stammered, “What do you mean we are all the same? They are ghosts; what have they got to do with my spirit body?”

Wei Huo: “…”

Chen Xuanyue suddenly said confidently, “You don’t understand this part, do you? There are still many commendable things about what our ancestors left behind. We can’t deny everything. The soul is a very magical thing. It’s not as simple as you think.”

Wei Huo moved closer to the kneeling spirit and listened attentively. Unfortunately, he did not speak this language. The translation system also failed, and no one knew what it was talking about.

Only Chen Xuanyue had a look of disbelief on her face. “Is the West Dowager in the coffin?”

Wei Huo was shocked. “Are you talking about the mother of the West Emperor of the Jade-Lake Immortal Realm of Kunlun Mountain?” he asked.

Chen Xuanyue nodded. “I heard the spirit body say that they want to carry the Dowager down the mountain and bury her in her hometown.”

The spirit body suddenly stood up and shouted in another language. This time, the translation system returned to normal.

Wei Huo heard it say, “Time’s up. Please carry the coffin.”

The group of spirit bodies started moving. They followed the spirit body in front and moved forward. However, as Wei Huo’s Blood Qi was too strong, it blocked a blurry spirit body. The spirit body was still moving forward, but it was just moving on the spot. Wei Huo’s powerful Blood Qi blocked it, and the other spirit bodies left the building and gradually disappeared.

Chen Xuanyue was a little afraid. “Do you have any morals? Why are you blocking it?”

The spirit was still in the same spot. Wei Huo observed it closely and realized that it was a little blurry. He could not see its appearance clearly, but he could vaguely tell that it was humanoid.

Wei Huo was blocking it, so it could only stay where it was. After watching it for a long time, one would think that it was performing a moonwalk, one far more impressive than Michael Jackson’s. What was even more impressive was that its shoulders were not moving at all. It was just walking by moving its feet, but its body was not moving.

Chen Xuanyue was speechless.

This was too boring. He was forcing a spirit body to perform a moonwalk without moving its shoulders.

A moment later, the spirit body stopped in its tracks.

Chen Xuanyue and the rocs were speechless. Was it angry?

Wei Huo said, “They will come back anyway.”

As expected, just as Wei Huo finished his sentence, a bell sound was heard from the stone coffin. The bell sound was loud and clear. A moment later, the spirit bodies and the stone coffin that had just left teleported back.
