"Where am I?"
In the darkness, Yang Yan opened his eyes.
Looking around, he found himself surrounded by pitch black. Upon realizing that he couldn't even see his fingers when he stretched out his hand, Yang Yan frowned slightly.
He tried raising his hands but found that he couldn't lift them at all.
His arms were as heavy as a mountain, suppressing him.
They were too heavy!
There seemed to be some invisible pressure restraining him.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? Perhaps, sleep paralysis?" Yang Yan thought.
With that in mind, he closed his eyes again.
Then, he reopened them. This time, although it was still fuzzy, he could see a little more clearly.
He seemed to be able to see the outside through the darkness!
The black sky was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it looked extremely mysterious.
Suddenly, a face appeared in front of him.
The owner of the face was devastatingly beautiful, like a fairy.
As she stared at him, their eyes met.
Her face was cold and indifferent, and her beauty was breathtaking.
There was a white sword hanging above the girl's head.
The long sword emitted a gentle light that enveloped her.
The light was not static, but constantly fluctuating.
"The Emperor's coffin has been opened!" Leng Biyue said coldly.
She was the holy maiden of the Fairy Sect and one of the candidates for the next sect leader.
"Is this the Emperor of Sword Path who is said to be able to cross worlds with one sword?" Leng Biyue spoke again.
Her beautiful eyes blinked and sparkled.
She looked at the emperor's corpse from above.
"His body is perfect, like a flawless sword!"
"The inner energy within him is profound and shocking!"
The Emperor of Sword Path?
Yang Yan was puzzled!
Wasn't he on earth?
And wait!
He seemed to be in a coffin!
"Am I a corpse now?"
He was shocked as images appeared one after another. He recalled the things that happened on Earth.
"I'm dead!"
"No!"
"I'm still alive, but I've become a corpse!"
He had indeed died on earth, but he had reincarnated here!
He had reincarnated into a corpse!
Moreover, this corpse was not ordinary. It was the corpse of a great emperor!
The Emperor of Sword Path!
"Emperor of Sword Path, his physique is like an innate sword body!"
"What a formidable body, like a divine sword!"
Leng Biyue's frozen face revealed a relaxed and smiling expression.
"He was once the 17th on the Echelon list, and he became an Emperor who was known for reversing the flow of time. His corpse has lasted for 100000 years!"
A hundred thousand years!
Yet the corpse did not rot and still maintained its complete form!
The Emperor's might and the aura of Sword Path the corpse emitted were almost tangible!
If she brought it back, she could refine it into an unrivaled weapon.
It will add a powerful force to their Fairy Sect, allowing them to build a solid foundation for dealing with the Dark Age!
As the most capable Holy Maiden of the Fairy sect, Leng Biyue was always thinking for the Fairy Sect.
BOOM!
Just as Leng Biyue was speaking, an earth-shattering sound rang out.
The longsword above her head trembled, and the power it produced fluctuated her body.
Her body suddenly leaned forward and her hands pressed on the coffin.
"Pfft!"
Leng Biyue couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the surface of the emperor's corpse.
Another powerful force hit him!
The coffin that contained Yang Yan's corpse had shattered, but his corpse was still standing!
A sword!
A sword would rather break than bend!
Even if the sword had become a corpse, its will would still be the same!
"Leng Biyue, the Emperor's corpse doesn't belong to you. You can get lost now!" A threatening voice came from behind.
Leng Biyue stood up with difficulty and turned around.
There was more than one person!
A group of figures stood there, all of them wearing dark brown robes.
The long robe was like ink, soaking everything around it.
"Blackwater sect!"
These people's cultivation wasn't high, and the highest cultivation was one level lower than hers.
She had no fear of these people!
However, there was a transparent figure standing above them.
Thousands of waves surged out of his body!
He was holding a huge seal in his hand!
The might of the seal was like a mountain, one that could shake the four seas!
"The Heaven Upheaval Seal! It's made by a Saint with a little Emperor metal!" Leng Biyue thought.
As for the clone projection!
Those who could cast the projection were at least in the fourth realm.
That was one level higher than her Five Treasures of the Path Palace!
"How did you know about this place?" Leng Biyue questioned.
She was the first to find the tomb of the Emperor of Sword Path.
It had taken her a lot of time and effort!
Before she entered the tomb, she had even carved out layers of formation patterns to cover up the entrance.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for the others to discover it.
"We're the ones who let you discover this tomb!!!" The projected clone in the sky said.
It was a trap!
It was a trap that had been set up long ago.
Leng Biyue suddenly understood.
No wonder her whole journey to the tomb of the great emperor was so smooth.
"At first, I was wondering why there was no obstruction before opening the tomb of the Emperor."
"Now, I've thought it through!"
Someone had lured her here on purpose and used the divine sword above her head to tear apart the Emperor's pressure.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the people of the Blackwater Sect to enter the tomb with the Heaven Upheaval Seal refined by a Saint.
"Fortunately, it was only a projection."
"If not, I would be dead from that attack earlier!"
"However, it'll be hard for me to take the body of the Emperor of Sword Path away."
"No matter what, I have to give it a try."
"I can still escape safely with the Fairy Divine Sword."
The divine sword above Leng Biyue's head bloomed with light. She waved her hand.
Streams of divine origin essence flowed down from her fingertips and into the coffin.
The members of the Blackwater Sect behind her all shouted.
"You're looking for death!"
"You still want to seal the emperor's corpse with the divine origin and take it away? You're really not afraid of death!"
"Send her to hell!"
They attacked at the same time, sending a powerful attack toward Leng Biyue.
Leng Biyue didn't care about what was going on behind her. She knew well of the strength of the sword above her head.
This divine sword had been forged by the Fairy Sect's ancestor, an Emperor-to-be.
The power contained in the Fairy Divine Sword could defend her against the attacks.
She would be fine for the time being.
"Huh? This is bad!" Her expression turned serious.
Everything was fine behind her, but what was changing was in front of her.
This Emperor's corpse...
The divine origin essence that was flowing down and the blood that she had just spat out started to merge into the Emperor's body.
"Is the Emperor of Sword Path still alive?" Thinking of this, she turned pale with fright.
Yang Yan, who was inside the emperor's corpse, was now shrouded in light.
"Congratulations to the host for absorbing the power of the divine origin and reactivating the sea of bitterness!"
"Congratulations to the host for absorbing the bloodline of the Emperor-to-be's direct descendant, turning the Holy spring into a Golden Spring, and producing new blood in the meridians!"
The bitter sea!
The first level of cultivation!
"The system has arrived!" Yang Yan was pleasantly surprised.
He had thought that he was going to be a corpse for the rest of his life!
Whoosh!
Yang Yan looked into his body and found that in the root of his body, where his essence and spirit were stored, the dry sea of bitterness was gushing out golden profound energy.
The profound energy was like spring water, filling up the dry bitter sea instantly.
At the same time, blood gushed into his empty meridians.
It made his body more substantial!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully entering the Divine Spring Realm!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Emperor-level cultivation technique, the Celestial Emperor Reincarnation Fist!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a divine-level sword technique, Sword God technique!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a chance to strengthen your root bone!"
The Golden profound energy coursed through his entire body, and fresh blood flowed through his soul. Yang Yan felt as if he had been revived.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The void shattered, and a powerful and terrifying force spread from his body.
