Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 530 -
```
The method to pass through the third formation was even more complex than the previous two. Qinchuan instructed the three individuals until they had practiced dozens of times. Only after Qinchuan saw that they would not make any more mistakes did the group begin to break through the formation.
After safely passing through the third formation, another gate glowing with a brilliant, crystalline divine light emerged ahead, blocking the group's advance.

However, this time, it was not a formation, but a Divine Court Gate induced by flowing light.
Without any hesitation, Qinchuan activated his Divine Sense, and the gate opened.
The group once again passed through the Divine Court Gate and entered a passageway, where the surroundings became gloomy and dark once more.
At both ends of the passageway stood twelve White Jade Pillars, each carved with various lifelike Divine Beasts.
There was an Ancient Divine Dragon, extending its five claws and howling towards the Nine Heavens, as well as a Phoenix, spreading its wings and soaring with life-like realism, and an Ancient Pixiu, roaring with its head raised to the sky.
All the Fierce Beasts carved on the White Jade Pillars seemed so lifelike, as if they were about to come alive.
Ji Huo'er and the others made their way through the passage, and at the end stood two Bronze Fierce Beasts, exuding an intimidating presence without rage.
"This... This place is actually inside some kind of a tomb!"
At that moment, Chi Hai finally realized something was amiss and exclaimed in a low voice.
Ji Huo'er had also seen it clearly by this point; behind those Bronze Fierce Beasts, there were indeed two Crystal Coffins laid out.
"Whose tomb is this? It has such strict guards? Could even gods from the Upper Realm not break in?"
The group arrived in front of the two Crystal Coffins.
The Crystal Coffins were austere in design, with no decorations on the exterior. Through the crystal, one could clearly see the two individuals inside.
In the coffin on the left lay a woman. Though it was unknown how many years she had been dead, her complexion was still rosy, her eyes slightly closed, and her lips red as cinnabar. Her white clothes were purer than snow, her black hair spread out; even without a hint of life, she still possessed a transcendental quality, untouched by the mundanity of the worldly realm.
Her make-up was simple and her demeanor leisurely, yet it did not detract from her exquisite features. The person in the coffin was graceful and divine.
There she lay quietly in the Crystal Coffin, resembling a fallen Immortal, inspiring pity in those who saw her.
"Who is this sister? She's so beautiful!"
Ling Xian'er stood in front of the Crystal Coffin, gazing blankly at the woman inside, and said softly.
It seemed as if she feared disturbing the Immortal's eternal slumber, but also seemed to mourn the fall of such a celestial being.
"Her name is Luo Ling'er."
Qinchuan also felt a touch of sadness, quietly watching the person inside the coffin as he spoke.
Ling Xian'er and the other two also sensed that something was off with Qinchuan.
Ji Huo'er glanced at Qinchuan and asked softly, "She is?"
"She is my wife. I haven't seen her for millions of years."
Qinchuan let out a long sigh, extended his palm, and gently rested it on the Crystal Coffin, as though he wished to penetrate the crystal and touch the woman's cheek inside.
His brief words were deeply shocking to the three individuals.
Trusted by Qinchuan, they naturally knew his background was not ordinary; especially Chi Hai, who knew Qinchuan had been alive for a hundred thousand years.
But the information Qinchuan had now revealed indicated that he had experienced millions of years!
And this person in the coffin was his wife!
The group could see clearly that upon entering this place, Qinchuan's demeanor had drastically changed. When outside, Qinchuan always carried himself with an air of superiority, looking down upon all directions. After entering this place, however, he had reined in his aura.
He now appeared just like an ordinary man, with a hint of sorrow and heaviness, and a touch of wistfulness.
```
Ji Huo'er and the others had finally realized why, in this boundless sea bed, Qinchuan had gone through such great lengths and complications to set up not one but three such terrifying formations.
Qinchuan gazed lovingly at the woman in the coffin. After a long while, he collected his thoughts.
With a flick of his hand, Qinchuan gathered the crystal coffin into the Dao Lotus space.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, each cycle filled with uncertainties, it was many years ago that he had laid Luo Ling'er's corpse in this place.
Now that he had returned from his cultivation in this life, determined to fully resurrect Luo Ling'er, he should keep her body close by.
Having done all this, Qinchuan moved to another crystal coffin close by.
Inside the coffin lay a man of striking appearance, with resolute facial features, who bore a striking resemblance to Qinchuan upon close inspection—about eighty percent similar.
However, the difference was that Qinchuan's face was only that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, slightly immature, while the man in the coffin already had a middle-aged look, more mature and steady.
On the arms and face of this man, one could vaguely see numerous scars, the traces of years of battle.
Ji Huo'er and others felt awe.
"So, this person is the past life of you, big brother!" Ji Huo'er said.
Qinchuan chanted a spell and strenuously pushed open the lid of the crystal coffin, replying, "That's right!"
He didn't tell Ji Huo'er that, to be precise, this corpse was already his first life's.
In those days, Qinchuan had broken into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, eventually finding the Nine Revolutions Method. He cultivated the Shura Secret Techniques, nine lifetimes cultivating an Innate Body, severed himself from his physical body, and buried his and Luo Ling'er's corpses together in this place.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Qinchuan issued another spell, and it seemed that a mysterious breath gently lifted up the man in the coffin.
Under the operation of Qinchuan's spell, the body moved on its own, and finally sat cross-legged in front of Qinchuan.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Ji Huo'er asked, curious.
Qinchuan did not answer her but raised his eyebrows and said.
"Huo'er, Xian'er, lend me a hand!"
Qinchuan sat down in front of this body, two Qiinchuans with very similar appearances now sitting face to face.
"Circulate the divine Qi in the two of you and protect my spiritual platform," Qinchuan said formally.
The two didn't understand what Qinchuan was going to do but followed his plan, activating the immense divine heritage Qi from their sea of consciousness, pouring it into Qinchuan's spiritual platform.
The next moment, a large mouth opened in the center of Qinchuan's forehead, and a golden silhouette emerged from his brow.
This was the reduced state of Qinchuan's Asura Emperor Soul.
"This is… the True Spirit leaving the body!" Chi Hai exclaimed in shock.
True Spirit leaving the body meant that the physical body had died, and the True Spirit would only go to the Reincarnation Land to reincarnate. If the True Spirit shattered, the fragments would be absorbed into the Immortal Burial Site.
"Young Master Qin is actually allowing his True Spirit to leave his body! What is he trying to do?"
As Chi Hai watched in stunned silence, Qinchuan's True Spirit emerged from his forehead and began to flow towards the corpse sitting in front of him.
"Young Master Qin is using his Soul to control this body!"
Although Chi Hai was initially shocked, upon reflection, it was not surprising that Qinchuan, a being from a million years ago, could undertake True Spirit separation.
One must know that throughout the endless history of cultivation, although cultivators could not evade death, countless cultivators had researched the Body Snatching technique.
Although this was not exactly Body Snatching for Qinchuan, the principle behind it was more or less the same.
