Chapter 1636 The Coffin Escorts


    At the top of the high tformid an antique coffin. Austin and the old man fixed their eyes on it.


    "Come on! Let''s go up and check the coffin."


    Without hesitation, the old man flew towards the high tform.


    However, he was immediately pulled back down to the ground by some invisible power.


    "Damn! An superb blocking array was applied here to prevent anyone from flying,"mented the old


    vendor.


    Then he thought of other ways to get to the coffin.


    "All right. Let''s just climb up there," he said.


    Then they climbed the high jade steps one by one.


    After a while, they were able to reach the top of the tform.


    They saw the antique coffin lying at the center.


    It was beautifully ced there that anyone who could see it would be amazed.


    The antique coffin had been there for a long time. Nobody knew how many years exactly it had been


    staying there.


    But if it really belonged to the Purple Immortal who had been famous since hundreds of thousands of


    years ago, it only meant that the coffin had also been there for that long.


    Thinking that the coffin was hundreds of thousands years old, anyone would probably be astonished


    because it didn''t really look old. It was still beautiful and exquisite.


    "The real treasure must be hidden in the coffin!" eximed the old vendor.


    Then he warily walked towards the coffin.


    Austin shuddered when he thought what kind of subtlety could have been hidden in the coffin of the


    great master of Immortal Realm.


    The great master of Immortal Realm was the most powerful man in the continent. He was known to be


    a terrible person to everyone.


    Until now, no one would still dare to underestimate his power even if he had been dead for hundreds of


    thousands of years.


    While Austin and the old vendor were staring at the coffin, a voice was suddenly heard from a distance.


    "Humph! I''ve never thought that two small potatoes would be here so early!"


    Austin and the old vendor both turned around to see whose voice it was. Then they saw a young Taoist


    appeared at the jade steps. He might have also climbed the steps without them noticing it.


    The young Taoist was now standing in front of them, with both hands behind him. He was surrounded


    by sword shadows and sword lights which created an unidentifiable illusion. It was like he was in a far-


    off country of swords.


    "Boy, remember not to argue with him. He is a weird old freak so better not make him angry. Otherwise,


    he will hurt you."


    The old vendor secretly released his spiritual sense tomunicate with Austin. He needed to warn


    Austin of the possible danger they might encounter.


    "You two, get out of here now! This is not the right ce for you to stay," said the young Taoist


    indifferently. He looked at them scornfully.


    All of a sudden, another voice was heard.


    "Well, this must be the coffin of the Purple Immortal."


    A middle-aged man who was bathed in dazzling lights also appeared in the high tform. His face was


    almost invisible because it was covered by the golden light.


    "That must be the coffin of the Purple Immortal. Let''s go and take a look at it!"


    More people gathered below the high tform. They also climbed the jade steps one by one.


    A few momentster, the high tform was now surrounded by several hundreds of people. Most of


    them were real elites from the East Maind.


    Apparently, those who were able to across the Death River were elites. That was why most of the


    people who climbed the high tform were also elites.


    But there were also some rtively weak disciples who followed the elders of their sects.


    ''Oh, this is bad, '' thought Austin as he shook his head. ''Too many elites are here now. This is definitely


    a threat for us.''


    The leader of Shen Family and Ji Family who were among the three aristocratic families were there. A


    reclusive elder of the Vasteras Holy Land and some first-ss leaders in the East Maind were also

    present. All of these people were powerful individuals in the East Maind.


    Seeing these people around, Austin realized that it would be impossible for him to get the treasure in


    the coffin. These elites would definitely not allow him to do so.


    ''These elites in front of me can easily use their spiritual sense to kill me even without lifting a finger.


    How will I be able to take the treasure without a scratch?'' said Austin to himself inwardly.


    Based on his observation, everyone on the high tform was dying to get near the coffin.


    In fact, everyone''s attention was now at the coffin in the middle of the tform. All eyes were glued at


    it.


    Those eyes were glistening with excitement and desire.


    ording to some rumors, the heritage of Purple Immortal and the secret to longevity were hidden in


    the coffin.


    No wonder everyone was highly interested in it.


    All of a sudden, the young Taoist was already standing beside the coffin. He was too quick that no one


    even noticed how he''d went there.


    He raised his hand and was about to push the coffin open.


    However, before he could even touch the coffin, everyone there including him, felt the presence of


    three flows of power.


    Although it seemed to being from a distance, it felt so strong.


    To everyone''s surprise, three weird figures appeared around the coffin in no time.


    They were three elders d in antique clothing. Obviously, they came from the ancient time because


    they were emitting a prehistoric aura.


    Each of them was wearing a dull face and empty eyes. It was like they were looking at an empty space


    and they couldn''t see the people in the tform.


    Needless to say, everyone was shocked at the sudden and unexpected appearance of these three


    elders. All the people in the tform couldn''t help but stare at them in agape.


    "Oh, no! They are coffin escorts," murmured the old vendor in a quivering voice.


    Austin turned to him with an inquisitive look.


    "What do you mean by ''coffin escorts''?" asked Austin in surprise.


    "Those three elders were hundreds of thousands years old. They must also be great masters in the


    East Maind during their time," exined the old vendor.


    "However, they were forced to be coffin escorts due to the repression of Purple Immortal."


    Austin couldn''t believe his ears.


    "What? They were ancients from hundreds of thousands of years ago?" eximed Austin.


    He was really astonished. He had never expected to meet the masters of hundreds of thousands of


    years ago.


    "Humph! It''s no big deal! They are just showing off," shouted the young Taoist. He was also shocked


    when he saw the three elders earlier.


    He wasn''t even able to open the coffin because he froze for the time being.


    However, he was also the first to recover from shock and calm himself down.


    Hundreds of billions of sword auras dashed out of his body. Then it formed a sword of light and shed


    one of the elders.


    But what happened next was beyond their expectation.


    The elder rose from the ground and floated swiftly towards the young Taoist like a ghost. The sword on


    his body was just like a driftwood. It didn''t cut even a small part of his skin.


    The young Taoist chilled to the bones. He had a terrible feeling that a reek of doom wasing


    towards him.


    The elder was about to poke the young Taoist between his eyes with one finger.


    With a scream, the young Taoist held a dagger in his hand. He was then surrounded by numerous


    sword auras that formed like a hurricane. It sheltered him from the attack of the elder''s finger.


    Immediately, the young Taoist moved away from the coffin in terror.


    What had just happened gave all the people in the tform the willies.


    They were all shocked. The young Taoist that was in front of them earlier was now an old freak. No one


    could even figure out how old he was.


    It was known to everyone that his power was great.


    However, no matter how powerful he was, he was still unable to beat the three elders around the coffin.


    "What happened?" asked someone. No one dared to answer.


    Instantly, one of the elders set his eyes on someone in the crowd. A surprised expression then


    appeared on his dull face.


    Austin instinctively felt cold. It was like he fell into a hole in ice.


    Surprisingly, that elder was staring at Austin.


    Austin felt like the elder''s stare reached the innermost part of his body. He felt like he was totally


    exposed to the elder that even all his secrets were stripped off.


    "Hey, the coffin escort seems to recognize you. Do you think he is one of your rtives?" whispered the


    old vendor to Austin.


    A confused look was very transparent on his face.


    "Old man, don''t talk nonsense! How can I have a rtive from hundreds of thousands of years ago?"


    Austin furrowed his brows.


    He tried to nt a smile on his face to cover up the confusion that he felt.


    However, the elder''s action was already noticed by all the people in the tform. They all set their eyes


    at Austin''s direction.


    They all wondered why an ancient from hundreds of thousands of years ago would suddenly stare at a


    young man who had a weak cultivation base.


    Was there any secret hidden in this young man?


    What happened next made all people there more shocked.


    In an instant, the elder left the coffin and silently appeared in front of Austin like a ghost.


    He was carrying a terrible aura of coldness and doom.


    Out of fear, all people around Austin screamed and ran in all directions.


    Austin wanted to escape as well but the aura that surrounded him made him unable to move even a bit.


    "What do you want from me?" asked Austin anxiously.


    But the elder didn''t answered.


    He just stretched his right arm towards Austin.


    ''It looks like the elder found the Omnipotent Pot on me, '' thought Austin.


    He reckoned that the elder felt the Omnipotent Pot that was on him.


    Based on history, the Omnipotent Pot had been the most valuable treasure to the people of East


    Maind for millions of years.


    So since this ancient felt the presence of the Omnipotent Pot in Austin, he might wanted to take it away


    from him.


    As much as he wanted to, it was impossible for Austin to fight against this elder at the moment.


    Boom! Boom!


    All of a sudden, a thundering sound was heard.


    It was from Austin''s elixir field. Then thousands of rays of terrible golden light rushed out.


    Overwhelming power flooded the ce like tsunami.


    It turned out the elder stretched out his hand and touched the Fire St in Austin''s elixir field.
