Chapter 358: 9 Birds Pulling the Coffin
"This is the place, I feel... there’s great terror within this sun."
Xuanyu trembled as he spoke.
Qin Chuan looked at this sun and couldn’t help but think of the setting sun in the Twilight World.
That was the setting sun, and this one, it seems to be the Rising Sun.
"Could there be a great tomb inside this too?" Qin Chuan speculated, flying towards the vast ocean.
"Young Master Zhang Linxiang, we cannot go any further!" Xuanyu reminded with a pale face.
In fact, he didn’t want to remind Qin Chuan, because if Qin Chuan died, he would be free.
But Qin Chuan was bringing him along, and if they encountered an irresistible danger inside, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
"Are you scared?"
Qin Chuan turned back and asked.
"N-no."
Xuanyu nodded, then quickly shook his head, appearing a bit flustered.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Stay here and don’t move, I’ll go in and take a look."
"Alright!"
Xuanyu agreed readily.
Thus, Qin Chuan flew towards the Rising Sun floating in the ocean.
After flying for a while.
He found that this sun, like the setting sun in the Twilight World, didn’t change in size no matter how far he flew.
In other words.
If he kept flying forward, he might never reach it, similar to how one cannot grasp the moon reflected in water.
"However, this won’t trouble me."
Qin Chuan’s lips curled up.
Didn’t he purchase the Dignity Insurance? As such, the system would surely maintain his dignity and not let him lose face!
"Buzz!"
He took a deep breath, his body rapidly expanded, towering as high as the sky, emitting dazzling light.
He stood on the sea like a radiant giant, his flowing robes visible from a great distance.
"Such dazzling light!"
"Who is that?"
"What a powerful presence!"
In this world, many people undergoing trials saw Qin Chuan and were all amazed.
The aura Qin Chuan emitted wasn’t that extraordinary, but that presence certainly drew attention.
That feeling was as if a short person, mere five feet tall, walked out exuding an aura of six feet!
And at this moment, Qin Chuan looked down at the red sun and said majestically, "I command you, open!!"
The voice was immense.
Understandably so.
As if his words were a divine decree, undeniable!
However.
After his words, there was no movement between heaven and earth, for it was merely empty talk, who would heed him?
On ordinary days, such behavior would be self-humiliating, but now... the system had his back.
After all, so many people were watching!
"Ding! You forced yourself into a pretentious act and are about to fall into awkwardness. Due to the Dignity Insurance, the system will save your face."
The system’s voice sounded.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, a thunderous sound echoed between heaven and earth, as if splitting the sky apart.
Then, the red sun suddenly trembled violently, and it slowly floated up from the ocean.
"Splash!"
As it rose, the entire ocean surged with massive waves, and all the seawater began to boil.
The rising sun, its path immensely bright!
The life-brimming light of the Rising Sun illuminated the entire world, allowing all living beings in this world to witness this event.
Whether native inhabitants of this world or powerful beings from the Nine Skies Realm, they were all visibly shocked.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
Soon, the radiance on the surface of the Rising Sun surged, gradually forming a long heavenly path extending towards Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan, with an unchanging expression, stepped onto the heavenly path, leisurely walking towards the interior of the Rising Sun.
"He, he went in!"
"How is it possible! The Rising Sun over the ocean is the ancestral resting place, no one has ever been able to touch it!"
"Who on earth is he, to enter in such a manner, as if forcefully entering?"
"Could it be... the legendary titan?"
The native inhabitants of this world, each with a horrified look, shivered.
In the distance, Qin Zi, who was battling with a powerful adversary, also saw this scene.
Instantly, Qin Zi’s blood surged with excitement.
This is his father!
Seeing his father exhibit such unparalleled style gave him a strong sense of pride, making him fight even harder.
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan, along that narrow and long heavenly path, walked to the very depths of the Rising Sun.
"Pop!"
As usual, he shattered a thin membrane, entering a warm, humid, and vibrant world.
This was atop the sun.
Looking around, it was a scarlet expanse.
And in the center of the sun stood a massive golden Divine Tree, presumably the legendary Fusang Tree.
On the tree perched nine large golden birds, which emitted the fiery power of the sun, like nine suns.
Upon closer inspection, chains bound these birds, seemingly weightless, hovering in the air, with all chains converging at one place—a coffin!
Nine birds pulling a coffin!
This reminded Qin Chuan of the Crystal Coffin in the Twilight World, though that coffin was empty; who knows about this one.
"Let’s take a look."
Qin Chuan, assured by his insurance, feared nothing and flew directly over.
"Caw! Caw!"
The birds, seemingly Golden Crows, awoke, and as they opened their eyes, the entire world became scorching.
Moreover, as they spread their wings, rings of golden suns swept over like destructive tides.
So strong!!
Even Heavenly Gods of the Ninth Heaven would be pulverized under this Power of Destruction.
However, at the moment when these flames arrived, a transparent barrier appeared on Qin Chuan’s body.
"Swoosh!"
The terrifying solar fire passed over like a gentle breeze, unable to harm him at all.
And Qin Chuan, suddenly accelerating like a beam of light, pierced directly through the defense of the nine Golden Crows.
"Caw! Caw!"
The nine Golden Crows angrily cried, charging at Qin Chuan, their fierce power capable of overturning seas and rivers!
However, before they got within three meters of Qin Chuan, an invisible force stopped them outside.
Between Qin Chuan and them seemed to be a transparent glass cover, and the nine Golden Crows kept flapping against it, each strike erupting with bursts of firelight, as if exploding.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Amidst the blazing fire and shaking heavens and earth.
Qin Chuan, ignoring them, set his gaze upon the green coffin.
"Rise!"
With a wave of his right hand, he attempted to lift the coffin lid.
However, this coffin lid was incredibly heavy, not budging no matter how much force he exerted.
Finally, Qin Chuan, determined, took out a pitch-black stick, a crowbar.
A tool for tomb raiding.
This item was one of Qin Xiaozhu’s finds from treasure hunting in the Twilight World, amidst many bizarre items.
"Rise for me!!"
Qin Chuan inserted the crowbar’s end into the seam of the coffin lid, pressing forcefully.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound echoed, and the crowbar, extremely sturdy, snapped, yet the coffin lid remained motionless.
"Had I known, I would have brought Xuanyu along. Having a spectator would activate the Dignity Insurance, avoiding such awkward situations."
Qin Chuan sighed.
But in truth, he didn’t want others to know too many of his secrets, as some things were hard to explain.
"System, how much father-reputation currency is needed to open this coffin lid?" Finally, Qin Chuan decided to use monetary power.
"Ding! Ten points!"
The system responded swiftly and neatly.
