CHAPTER 1109: CHAPTER 1109: THE MYSTERIOUS COFFIN

"Uh, my Heavenly Tribulation is in ten days?"

On Tianlan Star, within the headquarters of the Heavenly Court Gang.

Xu Nian suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Just now, he suddenly sensed the Heavenly Tribulation.

His Heavenly Tribulation would descend in ten days.

This surprised him greatly, as most people’s Heavenly Tribulation usually comes several months or even years in advance.

But for him, it was only ten days early.

In other words, he only had ten days left to prepare for the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ever since the battle at the realm’s entrance, Xu Nian had returned to Tianlan Star with Murong Xue.

The original headquarters of the Tianxing Sect had now become the base for the Heavenly Court Gang.

The Heavenly Court Gang replaced the Tianxing Sect, becoming the number one sect on Tianlan Star.

Moreover, this battle fought by Xu Nian established the authority of the Heavenly Court Gang.

No more sects dared to cause trouble for the Heavenly Court Gang, after all, even the Four Great Sects suffered a loss.

As for Murong Xue, she followed him because she wanted to see Tianhen Continent, and Xu Nian had promised to accompany her.

Furthermore, with the women Xu Nian had saved, it could be said that the women related to Xu Nian were all gathered together.

Thus, the atmosphere within the entire Heavenly Court Gang was quite awkward.

Xuanyuan Qingling, unsure whether to avoid the awkwardness or truly busy, was constantly managing the affairs of the Heavenly Court Gang.

Zhao Yanyun and Leng Yanran both chose to retreat and cultivate.

Xu Xin, being Xu Nian’s sister, also felt very awkward, so she chose to retreat too.

After learning the date of his Tribulation Crossing, there was not a single person to share it with.

This left him speechless.

"Master!"

However, just when Xu Nian thought there was no one to talk to, a golden head popped out from his back.

"Uh, King Yanluo?" Xu Nian was taken aback; wasn’t this golden head the very skeleton he once saved?

Unexpectedly, it had silently appeared here without him noticing at all.

The key part was that this fellow could actually talk now.

By now, King Yanluo’s entire body had turned golden, still in skeletal form.

But in its eye sockets, there were no longer two flames, but a pair of moist big eyes.

Xu Nian also noticed that King Yanluo’s strength had increased significantly.

It seemed to have reached the Middle Stage Earth Immortal level.

How could it become so powerful in just a few short years?

"Master, you have finally returned, I’ve been looking for you for a long time." King Yanluo looked longingly at Xu Nian, its big eyes blinking adorably.

"King Yanluo, how did you cultivate? How come your strength has increased so much?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

He had been cultivating for so long, but had only reached the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.

This King Yanluo suddenly ascended to such a high realm, which meant it had encountered significant fortuitous events.

"After you fled that day, master, I went underground. I wanted to find you, but I couldn’t sense any of your aura, so I could only wait on Tianlan Star for your return." Little Yan spoke.

It was still just as small, like a child in their teens.

"And then?" Xu Nian continued to ask.

"Later, I discovered a large tomb underground. The tomb contained a coffin, and there were many skeletons around it, each very powerful. The weakest seemed to be in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, so I devoured those skeletons." Little Yan said.

Xu Nian was stunned.

Was this King Yanluo trespassing into the tomb of some strong being?

This luck was extraordinary.

"And after that?" Xu Nian continued to ask.

"After that, I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself stronger, so I wanted to avenge you and find you, but I realized our initial enemies were already dead, and I could sense your aura, so I rushed in." Little Yan said.

Xu Nian’s mouth twitched.

So, King Yanluo had been sleeping through the years.

Sleeps and wakes up as a Middle Stage Earth Immortal?

"Didn’t you experience a Tribulation Crossing?" Xu Nian suddenly realized the issue and quickly asked.

"Tribulation Crossing? No!" King Yanluo shook its head, looking utterly clueless.

Xu Nian was astonished; how could it become a Middle Stage Earth Immortal without a Tribulation Crossing?

"Boy, what’s so strange about it? It’s essentially a dead thing and shouldn’t exist in this world. However, its luck isn’t shallow, and it’s starting to reform its physical body. Its Heavenly Tribulation likely won’t descend until its body is completely reformed," the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

Xu Nian suddenly understood.

So, that’s what it was.

However, King Yanluo’s future Heavenly Tribulation would undoubtedly be fierce.

Because, essentially, it’s a dead entity, not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

"By the way, Little Yan, you mentioned you found a coffin. Do you know who the person inside it is?" Xu Nian suddenly thought of something and asked.

"No idea; the person inside the coffin is terrifying. I dare not go near." King Yanluo shook its head, showing a fearful expression.

"Terrifying? With your current strength, you still feel scared?" Xu Nian asked, frowning.

"Yes, very terrifying." King Yanluo nodded said.

Xu Nian frowned slightly, his eyes showing a contemplative look.

The corpse that could still terrify King Yanluo might have been exceptionally strong in life.

"Master, the person in that coffin seems not dead. It’s more like they’re asleep; their strength is very formidable, unlike anything encountered before," King Yanluo spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was even more surprised.

Not dead, then why are they in the coffin?

"Can you take me to see it?" Curious, Xu Nian quickly asked King Yanluo.

"Master, you’d better not go; that person is very dangerous." King Yanluo warned again.

"Don’t worry, I won’t necessarily touch the coffin; I’ll only look from afar, it won’t be a problem," Xu Nian reassured.

King Yanluo hesitated for a long time before saying, "Alright, but master, make sure not to get close to the coffin."

Xu Nian nodded.

His curiosity about the person inside the coffin grew stronger.

If it could make King Yanluo so fearful, it implied formidable strength.

"I’ll go with you too!"

At that moment, Murong Xue entered.

Apparently, Murong Xue had overheard their conversation.

Xu Nian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright!"

Therefore, Xu Nian said farewell to Xuanyuan Qingling and left the Heavenly Court Gang.

Leng Yanran and the others were still in retreat, so Xu Nian understandably didn’t have the chance to inform them.

Just like that, Xu Nian and Murong Xue, led by King Yanluo, flew towards the north.

Eventually, based on King Yanluo’s information, Xu Nian determined the location of the coffin should be in the Extreme North Ice Field of the Extreme North.
