Chapter 1647: Chapter 1517: Opening the Coffin!

With the illumination of the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, Ye Fan carefully noted down the symbols that resembled ancient texts, then engraved them onto the ground, and began to study them meticulously.

Seeing that Ye Fan actually discovered text on the coffin, the crowd gathered around with great interest, looking at the symbols he had engraved on the ground, each attempting to decipher them in their hearts.

This was something that looked neither like text nor symbols. Although it resembled both to some degree, it didn’t fully align with either.

After a long while, Feng Kuang rubbed his Taiyang point and said, "I can’t decipher it. What the hell is this thing?"

Following his abandonment, others gradually gave up too, as they truly couldn’t understand what it was, and nothing they tried made sense, and the meaning couldn’t be connected.

Ye Fan was also trying to decipher it arduously in his heart. Compared to the others, he had a significant advantage, which was that he had obtained the Dragon Seeking Formulas, providing him with a broad reference point.

On Earth, the evolution of text has completely changed over three thousand years. Here, changes spanned tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, so the evolution of text surely followed certain patterns.

With remarkably high comprehension, Ye Fan, using the history of various text evolution on Earth and the comparison with his Dragon Seeking Formulas, managed to decipher it after an hour.

It was indeed a text, but the distance from the first generation Earth Master to now was too far. Even though the text evolution on the Tianxuan Continent was slow, there was a significant difference.

This Dragon Seeking Formulas probably wasn’t left by the first generation Earth Master. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a large disparity in the evolution of text.

According to the text’s record, the person in the coffin was indeed the first generation Earth Master, but he was not the creator of the Dragon Seeking Formulas.

The Dragon Seeking Formulas existed even before the first generation Earth Master, although at that time, it hadn’t been compiled into a book but was a secret technique passed down.

After receiving the Dragon Seeking Skill, the first generation Earth Master completed many things not originally in the book through his research and practice.

In particular, his expertise in Array Patterns was profound, having once used an ultimate killing array to slaughter over ten thousand human-shaped creatures outside the Primordial Ancient Mine.

However—

In that battle, he also suffered fatal injuries. Knowing his life was short, and to prevent the human-shaped creatures from damaging his body, he chose to delve into the Forbidden Zone.

Here, the first generation Earth Master discovered a defiant place like the Jiu Long Nest and eventually used a supreme Dragon Seeking Skill to subdue nine transformed earth dragons to draw his coffin.

Moreover, the flowers, birds, fish, insects, strange birds, and mutant beasts on the coffin are actually Array Patterns that must be activated by the Dragon Seeking Technique. Inside the coffin lies the Dragon Seeking Supplement he made in his later years, but it can only be inherited by someone from the Earth Master lineage.

The contents of the Dragon Seeking Supplement possess sky-shattering divine power. If performed, its power is no less than a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heavenly strong person and can even contend with a Great Emperor.

"Was the first generation Earth Master so powerful?"

Upon acquiring this knowledge, Ye Fan was utterly astonished!

He knew the Earth Master lineage was strong, capable of using Earth Vein Dragon Qi and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within Spirit Stones to fight. But he had never imagined they could be this formidable—it was simply unimaginable.

What kind of person is the Great Emperor?

They are the top combat power in this world, imposingly reigning supreme, demanding even Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heavenly strong people to bow before achieving Proving Dao.

However—

The Earth Master, at his cultivation peak, could contend with the Great Emperor, practically an alternative path to Dao, how could he not be shocked?!

"What? You actually deciphered those, neither-text-nor-symbol, weird things? What did it say?"

Learning that Ye Fan had deciphered what they hadn’t understood even after beating their heads, everyone was stunned.

"You can decipher that kind of text? Don’t joke!" Huai Gu exclaimed skeptically, scornfully.

In his view, although that kind of text closely resembled ancient texts, its meaning was completely different. Even he couldn’t decipher it; what made Ye Fan able to?

This was impossible!

Ye Fan ignored Huai Gu and went straight to the coffin, his hands moving, casting streams of mystic light from his hands that merged onto the coffin.

With his movements, the engravings on the coffin gradually brightened, as if mercury were flowing through them, exuding a vast primordial aura.

This is a secret technique revealed in the opening of the Dragon Seeking Formulas called the Dragon Seeking Technique, the key to activating the entire Dragon Seeking Formulas, akin to a key.

With one hundred and eight strands of mystic light cast onto the coffin, the engravings seemed to come alive, and the coffin emitted a dazzling light!

At this moment, everyone knew Ye Fan truly deciphered those texts; otherwise, the scene before them could not have occurred. Was the coffin about to open?

"Crack!"

While Kai Gu and Liu Da and his companions were in doubt, the coffin made a crisp sound, the light suddenly brightening, dazzling to the point of blinding everyone.

After the crowd adapted to the intense light, they suddenly discovered the coffin had opened a gap.

Calling it a gap, it was actually wide enough to allow a person to enter. A rich fragrance of an Immortal Elixir wafted out from within the coffin.

"Immortal Elixir?"

"Immortal Medicine?"

"My..."

After a brief shock, everyone went crazy, immediately engaging in a fierce battle, vying to look inside the coffin, hoping to gain a head start and acquire the Immortal Elixir.

Everyone knew that even a Great Emperor would be tempted by an Immortal Elixir, let alone them?

If they could obtain an Immortal Elixir, even if they couldn’t Prove Dao and become a Great Emperor in the future, they could live a second life.

Under such immense temptation, the inherent flaws of human nature were fully exposed. Huai Gu, as if driven insane, struck out directly, causing those around him to vomit blood and retreat, while he darted like lightning to the coffin and peered inside.

However—

At that glance, he was immediately stunned. The coffin was empty; there was no Immortal Elixir, only a cloud of hazy Chaos Energy. Even the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye couldn’t discern what was inside.

At this moment, Ye Fan muttered a few strange syllables in a low voice. Immediately, a beam of Golden Light shot out from the coffin, as fast as lightning, seemingly breaking through the constraints of space, traversing the void, and directly entering Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Fan only felt a momentary blackness before his vision cleared. At this point, a page of a Golden Book had appeared in his sea of consciousness, floating above it.

On this page of the Golden Book, the most prominent words were "Dragon Seeking Supplement". It seems this was the Dragon Seeking Supplement made by the first Earth Master in his later years.

The Golden Light flew out, and the Chaos Energy dissipated, yet no trace of a corpse was found inside, as if the person had indeed undergone Transformation.

Even if they had truly undergone Transformation, they should have left behind some aura of Transformation, but within the entire coffin, aside from the initial aura of the Immortal Elixir, there was no lingering aura of Transformation.

"Could it be that the person in the coffin wasn’t dead at all, but attained the Immortal Elixir, lived a second life, and then left here, leaving only the coffin behind?"

Many speculated, but the truth of the matter, no one could say for certain.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Ye Fan.

In this adventure, Ye Fan gained the most benefits—not only did he obtain dozens of drops of Dragon Essence, but he also acquired a page of a Golden Book.

No need to guess; everyone could imagine that the page of the Golden Book, solemnly placed in the coffin, must contain incredible records, perhaps even Supreme Secret Skills and Cultivation Techniques. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Apart from Hu Fei, Shi Ye, and Wenren Jing sincerely being happy for Ye Fan’s gains, Huai Gu and another survivor among the young cultivators, including the rogue cultivator—who was their guide on this adventure, Liu Da and his companions—felt envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Ye Fan’s achievements.

Is this young man’s luck just too good?

In their view, along the way, they had all narrowly escaped death. Many died on the journey, and until now, they had gained nothing, whereas Ye Fan had already obtained Dragon Essence and a Golden Book.

Without a doubt, the Golden Book must be some sort of inheritance, and whoever had themselves buried in the Forbidden Zone, how could their heritage be mundane?

However—

Even if they harbored immense envy, jealousy, and hatred, this was not a time to kill and rob.

Firstly, Ye Fan’s side had four people; they only had three. Even if they succeeded, it would come at a great cost.

More importantly, they still needed to rely on Ye Fan to find a way out of this Forbidden Zone of Life, otherwise, they would be trapped here and become mere skeletons.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, and only Hu Fei, Shi Ye, and Wenren Jing came up to congratulate Ye Fan, sincerely happy for his fortune.

"Congratulations, young brother. Among us, what you have gained is likely the most abundant." Liu Da and his companions walked over and extended a hand to Ye Fan.

"Just luck!"

Ye Fan calmly shook hands. Although he was cautious of Liu Da and his companions, he felt somewhat reassured, as people like them were often very loyal. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have thrived in Du City.

His main suspicion focused on Huai Gu, who looked unremarkable and ordinary yet was composed, seasoned, and deeply hidden.

"You’re the Emperor’s son from the Gu Family, aren’t you? What’s your real name?"

When Huai Gu came over to offer congratulations, Ye Fan got straight to the point, directly pointing out Huai Gu’s identity, catching him completely off guard.

"How did you know my true identity?"

Huai Gu blurted out, realizing only after he spoke that he had slipped up, but it was too late.

With those words, he tacitly admitted his identity, shocking everyone.

Of course, Hu Fei and the others were acting. Ye Fan had previously shared his suspicions with them, so they weren’t too surprised.

Liu Da and his companions and the other surviving young cultivator were completely stunned!

Emperor’s son!

That was the Great Emperor’s child!

Who could have imagined that among their companions was the child of a Great Emperor?

This news was earth-shattering!

"Indeed, I am the Great Emperor’s child. I have only emerged into the world less than half a month ago. I find it puzzling; how did you know my identity?"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Huai Gu no longer concealed it, but looked curiously at Ye Fan, while his eyes glinted with calculation.
