School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 2175 - 2261: Entering Heavenly Pillar Peak
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
After giving some instructions to Ye Yiyi, Su Qingqing, and Zhao Han, Chen Nan bid them farewell and followed Mo Chenzi to Tianzhu Peak.
This Tianzhu Peak is located on the third layer of the Floating Island, and was brought here by the unparalleled power of the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s ancestor. The spiritual vein beneath Tianzhu Peak, after modification, was connected to the eight major peaks of the entire third Floating Island of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
This is why, in the past, the Lord of Corpse Control was able to seal two mighty figures by activating the Sacrifice Body Spell. One must know that even if the Heavenly Corpse King and the Asura King joined forces, the Lord of Corpse Control alone wasn’t strong enough to suppress them, even with the Sacrifice Body Spell. He had utilized the right timing, location, and harmony with people.
The entire upper echelon of the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s power was at his disposal, enabling him to seal all three of them within Tianzhu Peak in an instant.
The Lord of Corpse Control self-sealed out of necessity, leaving the Heavenly Corpse Sect impatiently waiting like ants on a hot pan for over a thousand years.
According to the previous agreement, this thousand years should be sufficient to deplete the power of the Heavenly Corpse King and the Asura King, thus also allowing the Lord of Corpse Control to heal his injuries within Tianzhu Peak.
However, the sealing requires an outsider to open the Dragon-breaking Stone, in order to enter Tianzhu Peak and interact with the prohibitions above.
Only when the sealing is opened can the Lord of Corpse Control regain full strength.
"Chen Nan, this time, the hope of our Heavenly Corpse Sect is entirely on your shoulders. You must be cautious in this matter, those two demons, one is our strongest Heavenly Corpse King, and the other is the Asura King. The Asura Clan is most skilled in combat; their war intent is undying and unyielding."
Mo Chenzi led the way in the front while reminding Chen Nan not to forget this matter of great importance, as it concerns the future rise or fall of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Any mistake would mean that not even killing Chen Nan could resolve the issue.
Chen Nan inwardly smirked, realizing that the Heavenly Corpse Sect had clearly never dealt with the Asura before. He had once fought against an Asura warrior near Star Moon Slope and understood that the war intent of the Asura Clan was not only undying and unyielding. Even in death, their war intent remained potent and terrifying.
Unless they were completely wiped out, the war intent of the Asura Clan was endless.
"Great Elder Mo, please be assured, I understand the principle of being loyal to one’s duties. Once inside Tianzhu Peak, I will undo the sealing even if it costs me my life," Chen Nan’s gaze assumed a serious tone.
Mo Chenzi’s face broke into a bright smile, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. If this kid continued to play tricks, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.
While Chen Nan appeared candid, internally he was contemplating other matters. This endeavor into Tianzhu Peak indeed posed immense risks. Those within the Heavenly Corpse Sect, constantly dealing with corpses and stained by Yin energy, had inadvertently absorbed a sinister energy into their practice, influencing their temperament over time.
Chen Nan was aware that the Eighth Elder had previously tried to trick him into entering Tianzhu Peak. Now that the Great Elder was in a crisis, he couldn’t reveal the truth and had paid a significant price. The true situation inside Tianzhu Peak would only be revealed upon entering.
Nonetheless, he and Su Qingqing had already taken ten Soul Condensing Pills to fortify their strength to beyond peak levels, so Chen Nan had no pressing concerns.
Entering Tianzhu Peak was unavoidable since there was no escape. He could only compromise, and as for the events that might unfold inside, he would deal with them as they came.
The two of them, one leading and one following, soon arrived at the foot of Tianzhu Peak.
There, the other seven elders were already waiting, including that Ziyi Elder they had met before.
Among the eight people, Ziyi Elder had the weakest strength, and Mo Chenzi the strongest. Clearly, among these eight elders, ranking was based on power.
"Tonight is the full moon, and the peak moment of Taiyin convergence is approaching. Everyone, let’s first practice the Eight Star Coffin Lifting Formation to prevent any mishaps later," Mo Chenzi, being meticulous, began rehearsing the formation with the remaining seven elders without concern for Chen Nan.
Hearing this, Chen Nan almost chuckled. The Eight Star Coffin Lifting Formation — was the formation conjured by these eight elders meant to lift a coffin? What kind of coffin required eight Heavenly Position Kings to lift?
Yet, observing the elders’ serious expressions, he stifled his laughter, not daring to let it out.
"Damn it, none of these old guys seem trustworthy. Once inside Tianzhu Peak, I need to carefully observe, careful not to rush in for unclaimed glory," Chen Nan thought, aware he couldn’t withstand the power within Tianzhu Peak with his current strength.
After trying the formation once, and after some time, midnight finally came.
"Quick, form the array!"
At Mo Chenzi’s command, Chen Nan fleetingly wondered if the Dragon-breaking Stone was indeed here.
But before he could dwell on it, Mo Chenzi had already suffused Chen Nan with a force, propelling him toward a towering stone wall, almost like it had been carved with precision.
"Chen Nan, behind you is the Dragon-breaking Stone. When we activate the power, you must go in without any hesitation," Mo Chenzi’s face was painted with sternness. If Chen Nan didn’t comply, he would kill the kid in an instant.
Startled, Chen Nan turned to look, surprised to find the Dragon-breaking Stone connected seamlessly to Tianzhu Peak. Even the rune restrictions seemed integrated with the peak, no wonder the eight elders had to wait for a day when Taiyin converged to open it.
"Boom..."
With a muffled noise, the huge stone wall behind Chen Nan retracted a little, just enough for one person to pass through. As Chen Nan moved, he entered immediately.
As soon as he entered, with a loud sound, the Dragon-breaking Stone fell back into place.
Inside Tianzhu Peak, countless lamps lit up automatically as Chen Nan stepped in. A glance around left him slightly dazed — this mountaintop was clearly a grand palace.
And an opulently decorated palace at that.
At the center of the palace was a huge pool, with a Spirit Spring at its heart, continuously gushing water.
Chen Nan glanced at the Spirit Spring, didn’t linger, and continued walking forward.
Everywhere he walked, he passed numerous coffins of various sizes. The closer to the center, the more terrifying the coffins appeared, emanating a formidable power.
The presence of a certain oppressive force inside Tianzhu Peak made Chen Nan cautious. Walking slowly, his pace was akin to a normal person’s. It took a full quarter of an hour to reach the center.
At the center of Tianzhu Peak lay an enormous coffin, about the size of a house.
Approaching, Chen Nan attempted to push it, but the coffin wouldn’t budge.
Chen Nan sensed an incredibly terrifying presence within that coffin.
