Chapter 1202: Azure Saint Tomb (3)
"There's really a coffin?" Wu Yuan was surprised.
"Yes." Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu nodded. "The Azure Saint Tomb is the most dangerous exploration site in the Heartland region, and one of the most perilous sites in the entire cosmic sea. Even if the Heavenly Imperator and I entered, there’s no guarantee we'd emerge unscathed."
"That dangerous?" Wu Yuan held his breath.
What kind of existence was Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu? One of the two supreme powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the entire cosmic sea.
"The Azure Saint should be like the Origin Saint, both born in the previous Primordial Epoch," Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu said slowly. "However, there are only traces of the Origin Saint's suspected appearances. Among them, the texts left by Goddess Nüwa mention her encountering the Origin Saint."
"Goddess Nüwa encountered the Origin Saint?" Wu Yuan was astonished.
The information left by the Creation Dao Master also mentioned the Origin Saint, saying the Origin Saint had guided him.
"But there are no traces of the Azure Saint," Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu said. "Only within the Azure Saint Tomb are there many remnant traces, mentioning a few deeds of the Azure Saint... The entire Azure Saint Tomb is divided into three major areas: the outer region, the core region, and the forbidden zone.
"Sempiternal lifeforms with a token can enter the outer region.
"Eternal lifeforms with a token can enter the core region."
"As for the forbidden zone, you must absolutely not enter it. Those who enter have a near 100% chance of perishing, and even Dao Zenithels are no exception," Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu looked at Wu Yuan and said, "Deep within the forbidden zone floats an enormous bronze coffin, one both extremely mysterious and terrifying..."
A trace of wariness flashed through Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's eyes, as if recalling some extremely unpleasant memory.
