So, these are the so-called Coffin Carriers, are they?

Ye Yun's eyes twinkled as he gazed at the four ethereal, white-robed figures in the void. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely detectable smile.

This masquerading act is indeed amusing. It's as if a few children, wearing masks, are performing acts of justice in front of adults—obviously full of flaws and fragile as can be.

However, Ye Yun didn't expose their act.

The name of this Covert Dragon Coffin, and the Dragon Cave... made him think of more profound matters. He needed to watch this play unfold slowly, to see what kind of moves would truly come into play once the real Coffin Carriers appeared.

"My lord, these Null Void Projections of the Coffin Carriers, carrying the Covert Dragon Coffin, will persist in the sky for nine days before disintegrating. This implies that a Dragon Cave will surface within the area over which the Coffin Carriers have flown during these nine days. This Dragon Cave can be used to bury the dead, and it is said to hold the prospect of a second life."

Mu Qing gazed at the Coffin Carriers, her expression extremely solemn, and explained softly.

The legend of the Coffin Carriers was very mysterious, and this phenomenon sounded even stranger. If a dying person was placed in the Covert Dragon Coffin and subsequently taken away by a Coffin Carrier to be personally buried in the Dragon Cave, there was a certain probability of resurrection into a second life.

It was well known that on the Cangnan Continent, no one could live forever, unless they reached the True God Realm, where their lifespan would greatly surpass that of ordinary people. Some of the ancient beings from powerful factions would love nothing more than to enter the Covert Dragon Coffin and thus live a second life.

Historically, quite a few people had indeed been resurrected into a second life with the aid of the Covert Dragon Coffin. This further enhanced the legendary status of the Coffin Carriers.

But Coffin Carriers had one unique characteristic: they could only accept "gifts" from the most powerful forces within the area where they appeared. These so-called gifts meant that the strongest forces had to use various heavenly and earthly treasures to create a Covert Dragon Coffin. They would then bury a cultivator from their sect, one with little life left, inside it.

Once these steps were completed, the Coffin Carrier would project from the void, lift the Covert Dragon Coffin, and head straight for the Dragon Cave.

Mu Qing gradually shared all she knew about this with Ye Yun.

Hearing this, Ye Yun just gave a faint smile.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, and even the Big Black Horse were very interested after hearing this.

"Master, this is truly interesting! How come I've never heard that Dragon Caves have such powerful resurrection capabilities?" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon blurted out with a laugh.

As a primordial Divine Dragon, he knew the Dragon Clan best; even if a member of the Clan died, it was impossible for them to have a second life. Of course, he, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, was an exception. As long as there was a drop of his blood, he could regenerate given the right conditions. But most of the Dragon Clan couldn't do that. Even the Ten Super Divine Dragons, if they encountered powerful Divine Soil Spirits and unfortunately perished, their hope of resurrection would still be slim, unless they had prepared some sort of backup plan in advance.

"This claim is quite amusing, but some people have indeed succeeded. We just need to patiently watch how this play is performed," the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said with a laugh.

As a Divine Dragon of the Divine Monarch Realm, he didn't have much interest in such bizarre incidents.

Listening to the dialogue between these two Divine Dragons, Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, the void fluctuated again. Surprisingly, two more Coffin Carriers appeared. These two Coffin Carriers flanked the others, supporting the middle section of the Covert Dragon Coffin.

"Why have two more Coffin Carriers appeared?" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon asked with a laugh.

Mu Qing's breath grew somewhat ragged. She quickly said, "Senior, if six Coffin Carriers appear, it indicates that the grade of this Dragon Cave is very high, at least Emperor Level Top Grade."

"Truly interesting! These people really know how to play!" The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon nodded, laughing heartily.

"Historically, what is the maximum number of Coffin Carriers that have appeared at once?" Ye Yun's eyes twinkled as he asked.

"My lord, the most Coffin Carriers that have appeared simultaneously in history is sixteen. It is said that the Dragon Cave at that time had reached Emperor Level Superior Grade," Mu Qing answered honestly.

"Did the person buried in that Dragon Cave later achieve a second life?" Ye Yun asked again.

"I'm not sure about that. Many versions circulate in the world. Some say the person lived a second life, cultivated all the way to the True God Realm, and then left the Cangnan Continent. Others say that person didn't live a second life. Still others claim that a second life was achieved, but their cultivation base did not surpass that of the first life," Mu Qing replied with a wry smile.

Ye Yun nodded upon hearing this.

"It is said that it was a Heaven Level force, extremely powerful. They later specifically suppressed news about this event, so very little information leaked out, and no one knew which Heaven Level force it was," Mu Qing added.

"It seems worth the wait then." Ye Yun smiled, looked at Mu Qing, and said, "Since the Coffin Carriers have appeared in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty will probably make their move soon, won't they?"

Mu Qing nodded quickly. "That should be the case, my lord. The Four Great Sects will hold a competition. The most powerful sect will be responsible for providing the person, while the three losing sects will be responsible for crafting the Covert Dragon Coffin."

"Good. The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is not far ahead. As the Saintess, you should go back and take over as Sect Master," Ye Yun gazed ahead and said lightly.

Mu Qing was taken aback.

She had already defected from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. Would they even accept her back to become the Sect Master? If she returned with this status, would the people of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird still accept her?

"Don't worry. If those little ones dare to be disobedient, just let *it* handle them." Ye Yun smiled, pointing to the Xuan bird on the carriage roof.

"My lord, leave this small matter to me!" the Xuan bird cackled, flapping its wings, instantly making a guarantee.

It was now the old ancestor of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. Deciding who would be appointed Sect Master was merely a matter of its word, wasn't it?

"They're moving, they're moving! The Coffin Carriers are starting to move!" Mao Bao'er suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked towards the sky again. They saw the six huge figures carrying the gigantic Covert Dragon Coffin, slowly moving north. The scene was spectacular.

At this moment, many cultivators in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty witnessed this scene.

"Covert Dragon Coffin, Coffin Carriers, Dragon Cave emerges, burying the living!"

「In the depths beneath the Xuanyang Sect.」

An old man with a withered face suddenly opened his eyes, gazing at the six gigantic figures in the distant void. His eyes held a fanatical look as he endlessly murmured that mysterious verse.

As an elder of the Xuanyang Sect at the Half-Step Life-Death Realm, he had only three years of life remaining.

If he could enter the Covert Dragon Coffin this time and be buried in the Dragon Cave by the Coffin Carriers, then he would have the opportunity to live a second life!

"AHHH!"

The more the elder thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but abruptly stand up and, not hesitating to expend his Qi and Blood Magic, let out a furious roar towards the sky.
