Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1538: Lies and Truths

"It’s actually above the Immortal Realm..."

Upon hearing the words of the Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor, The Nineteenth Ancestor was not only shocked but even more thrilled.

Immortal corpses of the Immortal Realm have already been an unimaginable luxury for them, but the thought of immortal corpses above the Immortal Realm is simply unthinkable.

"These immortal corpses above the Immortal Realm have an aura too powerful. Only after I fuse with the first immortal corpse can I slowly study them..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor sighed.

Haste makes waste, and he was already quite content with collecting so many immortal corpses this time.

Seeing the Emperor Ancestor taking it so seriously, The Nineteenth Ancestor’s excitement somewhat diminished.

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor looked deep into the pool and shouted, "Everyone, let’s retrieve the second golden coffin!"

"Okay!"

The Nineteenth Ancestors all agreed.

Large bronze chains plunged once more into the golden liquid, starting the retrieval of the second golden coffin.

"Another Immortal Monarch Boundary, a few higher realms than the previous one..."

Ye Yun smiled lightly on the Celestial Boat.

This Three Immortals Sea is truly a marvel, hiding so many immortal corpses.

It seems the Immortal Realm has significant ambitions.

The beings of the Ancient Realm, limited by their knowledge, have always acted subserviently towards the Immortal Realm.

But Ye Yun is different.

To him, the Immortal Realm burying immortals in great pomp at Three Immortals Sea must have another agenda.

Crack, crack, crack...

Heavy sounds echoed as, several Time Units later, the second golden coffin was also brought up.

Despite using their Puppet Bodies, both the Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor and The Nineteenth Ancestor were exhausted and panting; this second golden coffin was even heavier than the first.

"Emperor Ancestor, it really can’t be opened. If we open it, those of us with this cultivation will likely die on the spot..."

The Big-headed Boy shakes his head, a wry smile on his face.

"Not only might you die, I might not survive either..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor laughed loudly.

His intense gaze lingered on the second golden coffin for a while before reluctantly looking away.

"Everyone, I’ve lived through nine eras and am this old now. I always say I seek only longevity, not immortality, but honestly, that’s not true..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor suddenly sighed, his expression forlorn.

The Nineteenth Ancestors looked surprised.

The elderly lady leaning on a dragon-headed cane asked, "Emperor Ancestor, what do you mean by this?"

"Who wouldn’t want to go to the Immortal Realm? But for beings like us, already unwelcomed in the Ancient Realm, if we were to go to the Immortal Realm, starting from scratch would mean survival chances are almost nonexistent, so I dare not go to the Immortal Realm, and am thus a coward..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor smiled bitterly.

"Emperor Ancestor, you are already invincible in the Ancient Realm, there’s no need to go to the Immortal Realm, enjoying life here is much better..."

The Big-headed Boy laughed indifferently.

"Yes, I think Emperor Ancestor staying in the Ancient Realm is quite good, really no need to go to the Immortal Realm..."

The alluring beauty echoed with a smile.

"You don’t understand, everything changes in the Immortal Realm, I can pursue higher cultivation levels rather than stagnating in the Ancient Realm..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor shook his head.

He once again looked at this golden coffin and smiled, "These golden coffins have opened the gates of the Immortal Realm for me! Once I fuse with them, I’ll become a different kind of immortal, and a powerful one, so even in the Immortal Realm, I can stand my ground. Later you can follow, and we’ll establish a Corpse Emperor Gate in the Immortal Realm..."

The Nineteenth Ancestors were all amazed by this.

The elderly lady murmured to herself, "Emperor Ancestor, your plan is truly grand..."

"I really hope that day comes!"

The Big-headed Boy clenched his fists, eyes filled with anticipation.

"Well, first time in so many years talking frankly with you juniors, now there’s still the third golden coffin, let’s bring it up first and talk later..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor laughed.

The Nineteenth Ancestors regained their senses and proceeded to drive the Bronze Ancient Coffin, stretched out large bronze chains, sinking into the pool’s bottom to bind the golden coffin embedded there.

"Rise!"

Everyone shouted, working together to pull the golden coffin.

Originally thinking this golden coffin would be incredibly heavy, yet when pulling it up, they found its weight wasn’t much different from the second coffin.

And so, after several Time Units, they pulled this golden coffin up over the pool.

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor stood before this third golden coffin, hesitation etched on his face, unsure if he should open it.

The Nineteenth Ancestors hid far away.

The first golden coffin had left them too many psychological shadows.

"Emperor Ancestor, open it and take a look."

The alluring beauty suggested.

"Yes, a coffin embedded at the pool’s bottom shouldn’t have such terrifying immortal aura, I’d like to see if there’s a head inside the coffin!"

The Big-headed Boy laughed.

"Alright."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor, hearing the words of The Nineteenth Ancestors, suddenly made up his mind.

Honestly, he was also extremely curious about this coffin.

Squeak, squeak...

The Nine Calamities Emperor Ancestor slowly pushed open the coffin lid, and not the expected shocking immortal aura erupted, which made him exhale deeply in relief.

Within the coffin lid, was emptiness, nothing at all.

"Strange, why is there nothing?"

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor was dumbfounded.

The Nineteenth Ancestors, bolder now, immediately came over, looking at the empty coffin bottom, and couldn’t help but face each other in disbelief.

"How come there’s no head?"

The elderly lady was incredulous.

"This doesn’t make sense, both prior coffins had limbs and torso, where has the head gone?"

The alluring beauty frowned.

"Could it be in the second golden coffin?" The Big-headed Boy’s eyes lit up, voicing a startling thought.

"Impossible!"

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor shook his hand, dismissing The Big-headed Boy’s idea.

"Thirteenth Ancestor, go into the coffin and have a look, see if there’s any mystery to uncover..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor suddenly said.

Thirteenth Ancestor, being The Bigheaded Boy, his face turned pale on hearing this, reluctantly, he said, "Emperor Ancestor, can’t we have someone else do it?"

"What are you afraid of? I’m standing right next to you, won’t let you suffer..."

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor glared, his expression full of authority.

"Alright."

The Big-headed Boy jumped into the golden coffin.

This golden coffin was several times larger than a normal one, his small body appeared miniature upon entering.

The Big-headed Boy looked around, but discovered no mysteries, then raised his head abruptly, noticing there were still a third of the coffin lid covered, with a tangle of black hair hanging down.

"My God, there’s a ghost!"

The Big-headed Boy screamed.

"There’s no damn ghost, we’ve all died before, when have we been afraid of ghosts!"

The Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor stared at The Big-headed Boy with displeasure, his face revealing delight, quickly asking, "Thirteenth Ancestor, what did you find?"

"I found a black sphere, covered with strands of black hair, dangling down from the coffin lid..."

The Big-headed Boy looked at the coffin lid, originally a God-Emperor Realm powerhouse, now suddenly feeling an inexplicable dread.

"Cackle..."

A faint laughter suddenly emanated from that tangle of black hair.

The laughter was extremely eerie.
