"Just in time, not too late."

The green-robed middle-aged man with a sword on his back looked at the Covert Dragon Coffin. Seeing the coffin lid was not yet closed, he sighed softly and relaxed completely.

He emanated the powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath of a Life-and-Death Mirror Cultivator, causing the surrounding Elders and Sect Masters from the three major sects to tremble in fear.

The green-robed middle-aged man glanced around and said with a calm smile, "The Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty have worked hard, crafting this Covert Dragon Coffin so quickly... However, rest assured, we of the Nether Immortal Cave will not let your efforts be in vain. We will provide appropriate compensation."

His voice had just fallen when the four Life and Death Realm cultivators carrying the vermilion coffin approached the Covert Dragon Coffin and gently set the coffin down.

Nether Immortal Cave... What kind of power was that? Several Supreme Elders exchanged glances, racking their brains.

Mu Qing also narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the man in the green robe, deep in thought.

"I remember now!"

Just then, the Supreme Elder from the Xuanyang Sect exclaimed, his face filled with surprise and shock.

He waved his arm, his voice filled with excitement, "The Nether Immortal Cave is a Supreme Major Sect, one of the most powerful forces in the Nether Immortal Dynasty!"

"My heavens! So they are from the Nether Immortal Dynasty!"

The Supreme Elder from the Mo Xue Sect was also aghast, his mouth hanging open.

The Nether Immortal Dynasty bordered the Heavenly Sun Dynasty, and the two dynasties were of the same tier.

Both dynasties housed Supreme Major Sects.

However, the Heavenly Sun Dynasty and the Nether Immortal Dynasty were rival powers, so their respective forces seldom entered each other's territories.

No one had expected this Covert Dragon Coffin to attract the Nether Immortal Dynasty's most powerful Supreme Major Sect—the Nether Immortal Cave.

The thought of a Supreme Major Sect filled everyone with profound reverence.

The strength of a Supreme Major Sect far surpassed that of a Superior great sect.

They were simply not on the same level.

A Supreme Major Sect boasted numerous Life-Death Realm Powerhouses.

In contrast, the strongest combatant in a Superior great sect was merely a Half-Step Life-Death Realm powerhouse.

This was the vast disparity.

Hearing the Xuanyang Sect's Supreme Elder, enlightenment flashed through Mu Qing's mind, and she suddenly recalled certain matters concerning the Nether Immortal Dynasty.

Because the Heavenly Moon Dynasty was a relatively small territory under the Heavenly Sun Dynasty, their cultivation and activities were mostly confined within it, so they possessed little knowledge of the Nether Immortal Dynasty.

The green-robed middle-aged man merely smiled faintly at the shocked expressions on the faces of the few young monks opposite him. Hands behind his back, he maintained his aloof demeanor and said nothing more.

He hailed from the Nether Immortal Cave, one of the most powerful forces in the Nether Immortal Dynasty.

His arrival in the diminutive Heavenly Moon Dynasty made him akin to a deity.

If he wished to seize this Covert Dragon Coffin, no one would be his opponent.

Moreover, he had made his intentions clear this time: he would not take this Covert Dragon Coffin for nothing. Afterward, he would definitely provide the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty with proper compensation.

As a Supreme Sect, they had to maintain this level of decorum.

After the vermilion coffin was set down, the four Life-Death Realm cultivators gently moved the coffin lid.

As the coffin lid opened, a white-robed young man slowly sat up from inside.

The white-robed young man had a pale face and haggard features; he clearly didn't have long to live.

His Super Divine Dragon Breath was very faint, but one could still discern he had reached the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm.

"Father, is this the Covert Dragon Coffin?"

The white-robed young man glanced at the black coffin beside him and asked weakly.

"Yes, my son, this is the Covert Dragon Coffin. After you enter, the Coffin Carrier will bury you in the Dragon Cave. This way, you may have a chance to live a second life."

The green-robed middle-aged man flickered and appeared beside the vermilion coffin. He reached out, gently patted the white-robed young man's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Father, will this work?"

The white-robed young man coughed twice, his face flushing red.

"It should. Historically, quite a few people have achieved a second life from the Dragon Cave," the green-robed middle-aged man stated with extreme confidence.

"Then I look forward... to seeing you again, Father."

At this moment, the white-robed young man, with a sudden surge of strength from an unknown source, stood up from the coffin, preparing to enter the adjacent Covert Dragon Coffin.

Big Black Cat had already approached the Covert Dragon Coffin.

Upon seeing this, he immediately grew anxious.

Damn it... someone is actually trying to snatch the coffin from me?

"Hey, hey! You people from the Nether Immortal Cave, how can you be so unreasonable? This Covert Dragon Coffin was clearly built by us. How can you just come and try to snatch it?"

Big Black Cat darted over, stood before the Covert Dragon Coffin, and blocked the white-robed young man's path.

The white-robed young man was slightly taken aback, sizing up the black-robed youth before him.

The black-robed youth before him was, like himself, also at the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm, but he didn't seem like someone on the verge of death.

He was full of vitality, showing no signs of imminent death.

Seeing the black-robed youth blocking the Covert Dragon Coffin, the green-robed middle-aged man's expression instantly darkened.

"We, the Nether Immortal Cave, want this Covert Dragon Coffin. Didn't we tell you earlier? Your Heavenly Moon Dynasty only has four Superior great sects. Do you really intend to challenge our Supreme Major Sect?"

As he spoke, the Super Divine Dragon Breath of the Life and Death Realm surged from him towards the black-robed youth opposite.

Big Black Cat felt an immense pressure enveloping him, making it difficult to breathe, and he was inwardly alarmed.

With his true strength at the Fifth Level of Heavenly Fate Realm, he was still no match for a cultivator at the Fourth Level of Life-and-Death Realm.

"What's so great about a Supreme Major Sect?"

Big Black Cat snorted coldly, resisting the pressure.

Fortunately, his physical body was exceptionally tough, allowing him to withstand the pressure from this Fourth Level Life-and-Death Mirror Realm expert.

"Hmph! Truly, backwater places breed unruly folks. Are the major powers of your Heavenly Moon Dynasty all blind?"

The green-robed middle-aged man turned, his face grim, and looked towards the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects in the distance. His gaze, like two daggers, shot towards them.

"Esteemed Senior, please calm your anger! If you desire this Covert Dragon Coffin, please feel free to take it."

The Supreme Elder from the Mo Xue Sect rubbed his hands and said with a helpless, wry smile.

The Supreme Elder from the Xuanyang Sect looked at Mu Qing and earnestly advised, "Sect Master Mu, a Supreme Major Sect is not an existence we can afford to provoke. Shouldn't you ask the young man from your Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird to step back?"

"Step back? How is that possible? Don't bolster their arrogance and diminish our own spirit."

Mu Qing responded with an indifferent smile.

With the Master present, a host of Eternal Realm great demons in the carriage, and a Divine Monarch Realm expert from the Dragon Clan, why would we fear a mere Supreme Major Sect?

Thinking this, Mu Qing immediately turned and bowed with utmost respect.

"We humbly request the presence of the Xuan Bird Ancestor!"

The Xuan Bird in the carriage instantly transformed into a streak of black light, landing beside Mu Qing. It then took the form of the black-robed youth.

"So what if you're a Supreme Major Sect? This opportunity belongs to our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. You can't take it even if you want to."

Gazing at the Life and Death Realm cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave opposite them, the Xuan Bird let out a derisive laugh.
