Urban Undying Lord-Chapter 1596 - 1615: The Woman in the Coffin

The void is soundless, shifting without a trace!

The Undying Heavenly Lord traverses through space, while Ye Xuan follows behind using the Power of Space-Time combined with the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation, the two crossing endless distances one after the other.

Yet Ye Xuan remains cautious, pushing the Power of Space-Time and Heavenly Tribulation Transformation to their limits to ensure he isn’t detected by the Undying Heavenly Lord.

Moreover, Ye Xuan dares not follow too closely, although he knows the Undying Heavenly Lord cannot locate him, the eternal supreme remains eternally supreme, and following too closely would surely alert the Undying Heavenly Lord.

As they pierce through space, distances meaningless, Ye Xuan carefully follows, able to only vaguely see the figure of the Undying Heavenly Lord, with a distance of millions of miles between them.

Finally!

Half a day later.

A lush mountain range emerges, the entire form of the Undying Heavenly Lord transforms into a wisp of black smoke, entering the mountains and vanishing completely from Ye Xuan’s sight.

"This is the place!"

Mere moments later, Ye Xuan mysteriously appears, gazing at the vibrant mountain range with a touch of confusion in his eyes.

Located at the far east of the Central Domain, the spiritual energy of this mountain range is exceedingly ordinary. Could the Undying Heavenly Lord have buried his beloved within these mountains?

No matter!

Ye Xuan has no time for these trivial questions, and his entire being shoots toward the unknown mountains.

...

Verdant mountains and clear waters, ancient trees towering high, upon entering the mountain range, Ye Xuan immediately senses something amiss.

From the outside, the mountains appear ordinary, but deep within, Ye Xuan realizes it’s an unparalleled absolute formation.

A mere ordinary person entering would simply return the way they came, while a cultivator might find themselves trapped within these bounds.

And this is merely the outermost layer. As Ye Xuan delves deeper, a vast amount of white mist begins to rise, shrouding his surroundings in obscurity.

"What an unparalleled absolute formation!"

Ye Xuan, regarded as a grandmaster of arrays, though he never cultivated the Star Origin Technique, has passed the Chaos Trial, making him adept with array formation restrictions.

However, this grand formation baffles Ye Xuan with its overwhelming might, for this is the handiwork of the Undying Heavenly Lord himself, with supreme energies omnipresent, even with Ye Xuan’s understanding of array restrictions, breaking it proves exceedingly difficult.

For anyone else stepping here, venturing deep within would be impossible; even entering would trigger deadly mechanisms, ensuring one’s demise with soul scattering as their fate.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan possesses the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation, a forbidden escape technique that allows him to move unhindered within the formation.

At this moment, Ye Xuan silently appreciates how invaluable the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation is; without it, tracking the Undying Heavenly Lord here would have led to death by his hands.

Swoosh!

Ye Xuan transforms into a blue mist, speeding towards the depths, now convinced that the rumors Cang Huaimie mentioned must be true, otherwise, the Undying Heavenly Lord wouldn’t have established such a terrifying grand formation here.

...

Deep within the mountains, a valley!

Fiery leaves sway in the breeze, as clusters of fiery small trees root in the soil, with their fiery branches bearing crimson fruits exuding spiritual energy, intoxicating to the senses.

"Hmmm?"

"Fire Spirit Fruit?"

Upon entering, Ye Xuan furrows his brows slightly, recognizing the fruits on these trees.

Yet what puzzles him is, Fire Spirit Trees are the most ordinary kind of spirit tree, their fruits quite average, perhaps enhancing cultivation for lower-level cultivators, but of little other use.

Ye Xuan wonders, why did the Undying Heavenly Lord plant so many Fire Spirit Trees?

Before Ye Xuan can delve deeper into the thought, a deep, somber voice emerges from the valley. Though faint, Ye Xuan is certain it belongs to the Undying Heavenly Lord.

Ye Xuan sets aside thoughts of the Fire Spirit Trees, masking his presence completely, carefully proceeding into the valley.

Within the valley!

Dense Fire Spirit Tree Forest, a Crystal Coffin placed centrally, a noble-looking woman lies within, eyes closed.

Her face is not stunning, often regarded as average, yet her expression remains serene, as though she were merely asleep.

The Undying Heavenly Lord, donned in black, stands quietly before the Crystal Coffin, exuding none of his prior supreme might, appearing as any ordinary man.

Sadness, solitude, with a tinge of melancholy!

At this moment, the Undying Heavenly Lord appears transformed, his eyes gentle and sorrowful, silently gazing upon the woman in the coffin, lacking the previous decisive mercilessness.

"Xiao Ran, I’m back."

Softly stroking the Crystal Coffin, the Undying Heavenly Lord speaks with a voice so gentle, fearing to disturb her slumber, his sorrow deepening.

At this time.

Ye Xuan stands only a hundred feet from the Undying Heavenly Lord, a precarious distance. Though the Undying Heavenly Lord may not detect Ye Xuan, he would certainly sense another presence.

This is supreme spiritual sense; it cannot find Ye Xuan’s trace but knows an outsider is here.

However, immersed in sadness, the Undying Heavenly Lord’s spiritual sense diminishes, and Ye Xuan maximizes the Heavenly Tribulation Transformation, ensuring he remains hidden.

"So, this old scoundrel has a softer side."

This scene brings inner murmurs to Ye Xuan, for no matter how wicked, how bathed in blood one becomes, within their heart lies a sanctuary.

Evidently, the woman in the coffin is the sanctuary of the Undying Heavenly Lord, his life’s beloved.

"Xiao Ran, now it’s already the Tenth Epoch, just wait a little longer, when the Twelfth Epoch comes, I can break the reincarnation curse and truly transcend, then we can reunite."

"Once, I sought out those three old bastards, never fearing them in terms of cultivation, only because these three can utilize the three great rivers."

"I thought reversing the three great rivers could truly resurrect you, but those stubborn old guys insisted the Chaotic Universe’s will is unalterable, leading to a fierce struggle, and in the end..." murmured the Undying Heavenly Lord.

"I sought the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, even seized that Mysterious Ancient Scripture and other mysterious weapons, yet through several epochs, I gained nothing, only for a lowly thief to steal them."

"But I let him steal it intentionally because the one directing him is the old scoundrel, the Lord of Chaos..."

The Undying Heavenly Lord continues speaking softly to the woman in the coffin, smiling at times, grieving at others, recounting their cherished past together.

Ye Xuan, eavesdropping in the shadows, finally gains substantial insight into the Undying Heavenly Lord’s past.
