Chapter 11: The Jade Coffin

There is nothing strange about the emptiness of the secret room, but Jun Ao can be sure that there must be a secret hidden in it. In order to refine the Linjiang Ancient Monument, Linjiang Immortal will definitely stay by the Linjiang Ancient Monument for a long time. Since Linjiang Immortal has been in retreat in this secret room for so many years, it must be here, but after Jun Ao carefully observed, he still found nothing.

No! I must have overlooked something! The ancient monument of Linjiang must be here! It is here! My intuition ...... That's right!

He had a flash of inspiration, and finally thought of something.

Intuition, yes, it was intuition that told Jun Ao that the Linjiang Ancient Monument was in this secret room, and he could feel it. This feeling is not ethereal, but real, just like the ancient monument of Linjiang is in front of him, but he just can't see it.

Since his intuition was so strong, Jun Ao simply followed his intuition, looked at the wall of the secret room, and stared closely. The walls of the secret room seem to be ordinary, but after staring at them carefully for a while, you can feel some differences, the stones on the walls are obviously brand new, but sometimes you can feel an ancient and distant atmosphere from them!

This feeling is so discordant that if you don't look closely, you really can't detect it.

"Could it be...... Jun Ao had a contemplative expression, he stared at the wall of the secret room, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had guessed something, but he was not sure in his heart.

It can be determined that he must be refining the ancient monument of Linjiang here.

Where will it be?

Jun Ao calmly analyzed all kinds of possibilities. With the realm of Linjiang Immortal, he still can't use spells to hide the Linjiang Ancient Monument without being recognized by everyone present, especially Liu Wusheng, a formation master. Since it's not a spell, ...... What could that be? There is no secret room, no underground, no ground ground, and it is impossible for such a huge ancient monument to be so inconspicuous.

Is it possible?

The thought in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Jun Ao couldn't help but walk to the corner of the wall, and after observing the wall closely, the feeling became even stronger. He stood still for a moment, then suddenly reached out and slowly touched the wall.

"Hmm!" Jun Ao's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and he suddenly laughed: "Haha! Sure enough!

Liu Wusheng and the others quietly raised their heads and secretly aimed at Jun Ao, but they couldn't figure out the situation.

Have you found the ancient monument of Linjiang? Where is it? In the wall? Impossible, the divine sense has probed it, and there is nothing in it! Liu Wusheng even deliberately broke a corner of each wall to confirm it just in case.

After half a ring, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Jun Ao murmured to himself: "What a Linjiang immortal, what a Linjiang ancient monument! Good scheming! Good magic weapon!"

Jun Ao's guess is correct, the Linjiang Ancient Monument is indeed in this secret room, and it is indeed related to the wall of the secret room, but it is not hidden in the wall, but - the wall of this secret room is the Linjiang Ancient Monument!

The stones piled up on the wall look ordinary, but in fact they are not! Every stone on this wall is an ancient Linjiang monument! Because the ancient monument of Linjiang has been shattered! It has been broken into stone slag! And then it has been made into bricks by Linjiang immortals, and it has been inlaid on the wall one by one! This method is so seamless that no one knows!

Who would have thought that the ancient monument of Linjiang, which is so powerful in defense, a true spiritual treasure, could actually be smashed into slag! Who would have thought that a magic weapon itself could be smashed into slag!

It can be seen that this ancient monument of Linjiang is different. It is not without magic weapons that can be freely reorganized, such as the Supreme Heavenly Palace's True Spirit Heavenly Treasure 'Supreme Heavenly Court', which can be moved, reorganized, and changed freely. But like the ancient monument of Linjiang, a magic weapon that can be broken into slag is unheard of.

Jun Ao pressed his palm against the wall and felt it quietly. But it didn't take long for him to subconsciously frown and a problem arose.

The divine sense can't sense the ancient monument of Linjiang!

When Liu Wusheng and the others searched, their divine sense shuttled back and forth inside and outside the wall, and Liu Wusheng even broke the wall without noticing the strangeness of the wall. If the divine sense can't sense the ancient monument of Linjiang, then how can you touch this magic weapon?

Moreover, he couldn't sense the breath of the true spirit at all, could it be that this Linjiang Ancient Monument had also lost its true spirit? Jun Ao thought so, and shook his head secretly: This is impossible, the magic weapon of the death of the true spirit does not have that power.

He remembered the scene where Linjiang Immortal summoned the illusory shadow of Linjiang Ancient Monument before, and that feeling was like a mountain, which made people powerless to shake.

That would be...... Well?

Jun Ao was thinking about it, when he suddenly felt a heat in his palm, and then the wall throbbed, vibrating like a heart.

This is!

Jun Ao hurriedly stabilized his mind, stared at the wall with all his attention, and waited carefully. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the palms of my hands to heat up again, and the feeling of my heart beating came from them.

Now is the time!

Jun Ao thought about it and poured it into the wall as a divine sense. Although his divine consciousness has not yet reached the point of being released, it is much stronger than that of monks in the same realm.

After the divine sense penetrated into the wall, suddenly the heavens and the earth changed, Jun Ao felt as if he had been sucked into the wall, and after a whirlwind, he appeared in a dark world, and a hazy light and shadow were cast from nowhere, although the light was faint, but it was enough to illuminate the world.

Jun Ao knew that he had communicated with the Linjiang Ancient Monument and was brought into the true spirit space belonging to the Linjiang Ancient Monument. He could feel a powerful aura remaining in this dark world, but it was only a breath.

What about the true spirit?

Jun Ao looked forward, pondering alone. It seems that some things are not so simple, and getting involved without knowing the cause and effect is really like a blind man, with black eyes and no knowing anything.

Jun Ao controlled his divine sense to sense it in the true spirit space, and sure enough, he did not find the existence of the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument. But what is certain is that the true spirit of the ancient monument of Linjiang has not died. If the true spirit dies, this true spirit space will also collapse and cease to exist. Since Jun Ao can still come in now, it means that the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument has not dissipated, but it is not here, then there is only one possibility - the true spirit has been separated.

It seems that this Linjiang Immortal also has a hidden trick.

Jun Ao secretly speculated that this was a bureau arranged by Linjiang Immortal, and in order to prevent the Linjiang Ancient Monument from falling into the hands of others, Linjiang Immortal separated the body of the Linjiang Ancient Monument from the true spirit, and hid the true spirit in other places alone...... However, this method is not as good as what Linjiang Immortal can do, and there are only two possibilities for separating the true spirit of a magic weapon. One is the simplest, refining the magic weapon and making the true spirit willing to surrender, and the other is forcibly depriving the true spirit from the magic weapon, which is much more difficult than refining the magic weapon. And Linjiang Immortal has not finished refining the Linjiang Ancient Monument at all, otherwise it would not be Jun Ao who is standing here now. Since Lin Jiang Immortal couldn't even do the easiest way, how could he forcibly strip out the true spirit?

Could it be ...... Is there anyone else who knows about it too?

Jun Ao's thoughts were flying, and the doubts in his heart were getting deeper and deeper.

The biggest doubt in his heart now was not these, but -- since the true spirit was not there, how did Linjiang Immortal do it? How did he refine the magic weapon? How could he get power from the Linjiang Ancient Monument?

The True Spirit Heavenly Treasure is already the top magic weapon in the cultivation world, and it has long gone beyond the scope of the word 'magic weapon'. The true spirit is a kind of sublimation, which turns the magic weapon from a dead thing into a living thing, with its own will and thoughts, and does not need to be manipulated by monks at all. Therefore, in the records, few people write that so-and-so has refined a certain true spirit heavenly treasure, and they all write that a certain true spiritual heavenly treasure recognizes such and such as the master, and how so-and-so relies on this treasure to exert great power and so on.

And the current true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument is not in the body, so how did the Linjiang Immortal use the power of the Linjiang Ancient Monument? This could never be obtained by him refining the Linjiang Ancient Monument! The true spirit is not there, what is he refining? The body of the Linjiang Ancient Monument without the true spirit is just an empty shell. A True Spirit Heavenly Treasure, if it is not allowed by the True Spirit of the Body, it is like scrap metal, and the monk cannot use the slightest power from it.

So, after going around in circles, I went back to the original question. That is, where did the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument go?

Was it that it had already been stripped out and fell into the hands of Linjiang Immortals? Or did it change later, and someone else took a step forward and took away the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument from Linjiang Immortal?

Well!

Could it be the Blood River Gate!

Jun Ao suddenly thought of a possibility, but instantly rejected it.

This is impossible, if it is the Blood River Gate, after taking the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument from the hands of the Linjiang Immortal, how can the Linjiang Immortal survive? Aren't you afraid that it will tell the news to the outside world and make a lot of trouble? And the strangest thing is that since the Blood River Gate came to the place sixty years ago, the Linjiang Immortal has not only not been publicized, but has become more low-key, so it cannot be the Blood River Gate.

Who would that be......

Jun Ao didn't get anything now, just as he was about to withdraw his divine consciousness from the True Spirit Space and withdraw to think about it. A voice suddenly came from the center of the True Spirit Space:

Bang!

This is?

Jun Ao's face changed, and he immediately extended his divine sense to the source of the sound.

Heartbeat!

There was a heartbeat from inside the Linjiang Ancient Monument! Someone was there! There would actually be a living person in the true spirit space of the Linjiang Ancient Monument! Who could it be? Could it be related to the disappearance of the true spirit of the Linjiang Ancient Monument?

However, when Jun Ao extended his divine consciousness to the center of the True Spirit Space, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the center of the true spirit space of the Linjiang Ancient Monument, this dark world exudes the brightest light. It seems that the entire True Spirit Space is centered on this, and it is from this that the sound of heartbeat is heard.

A jade coffin was placed there quietly, silently, I don't know how long it has existed here, how many years it has experienced.

I don't know what material the jade coffin is made of, the style is simple, and it is not fancy. The surface is free of any ornamentation or carving, and it is as smooth and shiny as the surface of ice.

Jade coffin!

Heavenly Maiden!

Jun Ao's divine consciousness turned into a form, condensed into a human form in the true spirit space, his face was solemn, and he walked forward slowly.

The jade coffin, the Heavenly Maiden, the ancient monument of Linjiang, and the true spirit disappear......

Things are getting more and more confusing.

Interesting...... Interesting!
