Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 376 - 314: Go to greet the Demon Suppression Envoy in person

Chapter 376: 314: Go to greet the Demon Suppression Envoy in person

"What’s happening?"

The Heroic Pass is long and winding, and on the northern city wall covered with white frost, above the nine gateways, a streak of light shoots up into the sky, blocking the path of the Sky Shrieking Falcon.

The Pass Military Officer, clad in Green Armor, sees the three fully red flags behind the incoming Orderly Officer, indicating an urgent dispatch, and his expression turns stern.

"Eight Hundred Miles Urgent to Tianxiong Pass."

"There’s urgent military intelligence!"

"Order to meet with the Nine Colonels!"

Meanwhile, over two thousand meters underground at General Mountain, Chen Yuan enters a strange Golden Fire Domain. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Inside, the domain is filled with an apocalyptic aura that could annihilate everything.

Splendid Fire Feathers burst into brilliant flames above his head, warding off the terrifying flames.

At this moment, Chen Yuan witnesses a shocking scene—amidst the Golden Fire, a crumbling stone platform several acres wide and roughly hundreds of meters tall stands erect, floating and swaying within the Fire Domain.

The stone bricks of these platforms are as pure as Red Fire Crystals, consisting of piece after piece of the Red Fire Crystal. This stone platform made up of countless Red Fire Crystals is slowly collapsing, with fragments soaring upwards, whistling towards greater heights.

What causes Chen Yuan’s pupils to contract is, floating dozens of meters above the gradually collapsing stone platform, a gigantic Scarlet Gold colored coffin.

This coffin shines as brightly as fire, over a hundred meters long, emitting a powerful spiritual energy and a vast imposing pressure. Its lid has been flipped open, as if something has escaped from inside—it’s completely empty.

He can hardly imagine what was once buried inside!

The coffin and the outer casing are separate, and what remains here is only the casing that wrapped around the coffin—the actual coffin itself has vanished without a trace.

Then, Chen Yuan’s gaze shifts to a small, strikingly red branch, only three feet in size, protruding from the side of the huge coffin.

On the branch, there are two small leaves that are identical to the Wutong Leaf on Chen Yuan’s head, only much smaller, about the size of half a palm.

This sight dramatically stirs Chen Yuan’s thoughts and overturns all his previous speculations!

Clearly, the Luck Spirit Root manifested on the outside was not naturally occurring, but rather...

Light flickers in Chen Yuan’s eyes as he stares at the casing. The Fire Essence on the casing is so concentrated it’s astonishing—If he’s not mistaken, this case is made entirely from the hollowed-out trunk of a Spirit Root.

And the coffin inside is self-explanatory!

Hence, he forms a bold speculation.

With the restarting of Luck in Shu, this casing formed from the trunk of the Luck Spirit Root is reborn. The coffin inside sprouts first, breaking free from the case, which resulted in the celestial phenomena just now.

And what’s left of the casing remains here.

How abstract!

But Chen Yuan feels his guess is very much on point.

Now he’s only curious about what kind of existence was buried so lavishly under General Mountain.

Then, he notices lines and engravings on the entire casing, resembling certain patterns, hidden beneath the brilliant Spirit Light emitted by the casing itself.

The Dharma Eye between his brows shines with Divine Light as he quickly scans all sides of the casing, imprinting the patterns with his Dharma Eye. Sequentially, golden patterns flow through his eyes.

The first pattern describes a few people leaving a place resembling Cloud Palace, with three big characters written above it, full of a mysterious beauty that he does not recognize.

The second pattern shows these people in a fierce battle with Demons. Among them are Demon insignias familiar to Chen Yuan, such as Feiyi, Heavenly Dog, and Gu Diao—precisely ten Demons. Chen Yuan immediately realizes these represent the Ten Evils.

The third pattern tells of one person among them who falls in battle within this mountain. His companions go to a certain mountain range to slay a Fire Phoenix and retrieve a piece of Parasol Divine Wood, which they use to craft a coffin and bury the fallen within this mountain.

The fourth pattern depicts snow falling from the sky as a person sits up from within the coffin.

At this moment, the person in the pattern seems to be making eye contact with him, giving him a spine-chilling sensation, as if he was looking at himself!

Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpens, the golden light in his eyes dissipates, but soon returns. His mind regains calmness, yet his heart still surges uncontrollably.

He can’t help but think of a possibility.

Could these people be the Heaven and Earth Great Divine Ability Users who sealed the Ten Fierce Clan back then?

And was this place once a battlefield, hence dubbed General Mountain? However, that era passed over fifteen hundred years ago, with little mention in local chronicles, all but dust in the wind.

The one buried in the coffin is one of the fallen warriors!

And the meaning of the fourth pattern is intriguing—the dead man wakes up on a snowy day...

Chen Yuan realizes this, and after the fact, his pupils constrict. The snowy day is when the seal of Ten Thousand Mountains began to unravel, and Luck is reshaped, which is now.

A person from over a thousand years ago is resurrected, and it seems their companions designed it purposefully. And there are rumors that the Fire Phoenix can undergo Nirvana.

Chen Yuan’s thoughts scatter, finding the contents astonishing. The coffin has flown away—could the person inside have really come back to life after over a thousand years?

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan decides not to worry about it for now. Better to take everything with him first.

It makes no sense to enter a treasure mountain and come back empty-handed.

His eyes flashing with insight, Chen Yuan reaches out without a second word and tears through the air.

Suddenly, a massive black fissure of fifty to sixty yards appears in the sky above the stone platform. Immediately after, the entire Golden Fire Domain roils violently, whipping up a huge vortex.

The golden magma, with a temperature terrifying enough to obliterate the flesh of Martial Vault inhabitants, would be a major weapon if used against enemies, especially multiple ones!
