"The Big Dipper... seven rays of light suddenly descended from it and entered the Covert Dragon Coffin. I hope Little Black Boy is alright," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon said from atop the carriage. It raised its fluffy, cat-like paw, scratching its chin, its demeanor somewhat serious. From its perspective, with the Big Dipper's seven rays of light entering the Covert Dragon Coffin, something must have happened to the Big Black Cat. The outcome is unpredictable.
"It has been impossible to probe with Divine Sense since the Coffin Carriers fortified the Covert Dragon Coffin with Seals. I have no idea if Little Black Boy is dead or alive. Honestly, I'm quite worried about the little rascal..." the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon heaved a sigh.
"Little Black Boy is blessed and lucky. That kid is clever; he should be alright," the Big Black Horse turned its head and said, though worry was apparent in its eyes. It felt an instinctual awe towards the Big Dipper.
"Don't worry, Little Black Cat will be fine."
Just as the demons were worried, Ye Yun's calm voice came from within the carriage.
Everyone was overjoyed. If the Master has spoken, then Little Black Boy's life is definitely not in danger.
The crowd's gaze returned to the image in the Little Mirror.
The Big Dipper in the sky had now disappeared.
The six Coffin Carriers stood around the Dragon Cave, continuously casting rays of light from their hands, which fell onto the Covert Dragon Coffin.
The Covert Dragon Coffin, pressing down on the golden light, sank bit by bit into the Dragon Cave.
"The burial is starting..." Cat Bao'er, her wide eyes staring intently at the Little Mirror, murmured.
"The Coffin Carriers are being so deliberately mysterious. What are they aiming for? Could there really be a second life?" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon curled its lips, still not believing in the concept of a second life.
The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said nothing; its gaze flickered as it stared intently at the scene, falling silent.
Inside the carriage, Ye Yun's expression remained very calm.
Just moments ago, the seven rays of light from the Big Dipper had landed on Big Black Cat, indeed extinguishing all vitality within it.
At that instant, Big Black Cat was as good as dead.
However, the seven rays from the Big Dipper landed on its chest and formed a small formation.
The moment the formation took shape, it swiftly connected to the local dragon vein.
Strands of Dragon Qi were drawn by the Seven-star formation and injected into Big Black Cat's body.
With this infusion of Dragon Qi, the faint trace of life remaining in Big Black Cat was not completely destroyed.
The Big Dipper Seven-star formation, controlled by the Coffin Carriers, was a risky endeavor, akin to plucking chestnuts from the fire. Their control over the timing throughout the process was exceptionally precise, which allowed them to preserve that slight hint of life.
Otherwise, if there had been even the slightest mistake, Big Black Cat would have been destroyed by the Seven-star formation.
Watching the Coffin Carriers' skilled techniques, Ye Yun couldn't help but nod inwardly in approval. They must have practiced countless times to have mastered the knack in such minute details.
Naturally, Ye Yun would not let Big Black Cat risk its life; he had already concealed a wisp of his Primordial Spirit in its mind.
Although the Covert Dragon Coffin was reinforced with Seals, that wisp of his Primordial Spirit could still maintain contact with him.
In Ye Yun's eyes, this Seal was extremely weak. His wisp of Primordial Spirit could easily break it. But now was not the time. He wanted to closely inspect this small-scale Big Dipper Seven-Star formation. This formation seemed different from the previous ones.
「...」
The Covert Dragon Coffin continued to sink. Its speed was not fast, as it constantly suppressed the golden light, descending slowly.
"This is so strange." The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon turned its head to look at Mu Qing and asked softly, "Shouldn't only one person be buried in a single Dragon Cave?"
Mu Qing was taken aback and quickly nodded, "Yes! Sir, why do you say that?"
"You'll see in a moment." The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon smiled but did not elaborate. Instead, it raised its fluffy paw and pointed towards the Little Mirror.
Everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued, and they stared intently at the Little Mirror.
Ye Yun had been studying the small Seven-star formation on Big Black Cat's chest. Upon hearing the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon's words, his eyes flickered, and he instantly understood.
Yet, Ye Yun did not continue to watch that. His attention remained focused on the Big Dipper Seven-star formation. Undeniably, the mastermind behind this had an incredibly thorough understanding of the Big Dipper Seven-star formation, with all sorts of variations. Their functions were also completely different.
The Dragon Cave widened below as the black Covert Dragon Coffin descended. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it suddenly halted.
At this moment, the image on the Little Mirror clearly showed four other black Covert Dragon Coffins, bobbing up and down amidst a golden glow.
Including the Coffin Big Black Cat was in, there were five coffins in total.
"Why are there so many coffins? Judging by the style, they all appear to be identical Covert Dragon Coffins!" A look of shock appeared on the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon's face.
Initially, it had not been concerned about the burial in the Dragon Cave, but the sudden appearance of five Covert Dragon Coffins was indeed startling.
"It seems I've never heard of Coffin Carriers burying so many Covert Dragon Coffins together like this, have they?" Mu Qing frowned, murmuring to herself.
"Sister, you're right. I've also heard rumors that a Dragon Cave only buries one Covert Dragon Coffin," Cat Bao'er nodded and said.
"Rumors are just rumors. None of you have witnessed it yourselves, right? Each time these Coffin Carriers appear, they carry the coffins and swiftly fly away. Who could possibly see how they conduct the burial?" the Big Black Horse smacked its lips, voicing its doubts.
"Uncle Ma, then why do you think there are four other Covert Dragon Coffins?" Cat Bao'er looked at Big Black Horse and asked with a smile.
"I'm not entirely sure either, but I remember that day on Xuanyang Sect's Peak, the Coffin Carrier once said that this was the last Covert Dragon Coffin they needed."
The Big Black Horse gazed at the sky and said in a low voice, "What he meant by that was probably that this Dragon Cave was supposed to be filled with five Covert Dragon Coffins."
The moment Big Black Horse finished speaking, everyone was astonished.
Indeed, on that day at Xuanyang Sect's Peak, a Coffin Carrier had said such a thing. At the time, no one had paid it much mind. Especially Mu Qing; the notion that only one Covert Dragon Coffin should be buried in a Dragon Cave was so deeply ingrained in her mind that she hadn't considered anything else at all.
"I have a guess..." The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon's eyes sparkled as it slowly said, "The quality of this Dragon Cave has reached Emperor Level Top Grade. It might require five Covert Dragon Coffins to suppress it. The higher the grade of the Dragon Cave, the more Covert Dragon Coffins are needed to suppress it."
"What's the principle behind this?" Cat Bao'er blinked her large eyes, scratching her head with her fluffy little paws, and exclaimed in confusion.
"Living a second life can't be that easy, can it? Perhaps these five Covert Dragon Coffins hold the secret to this second life?" the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon conjectured boldly.
The secret to a second life?
Everyone looked at each other, finding it hard to accept for a moment.
This Emperor Level Top Grade Dragon Cave required the burial of five Covert Dragon Coffins... One of them was currently being interred, but when had the others been buried?
For a moment, a torrent of jumbled thoughts flooded everyone's minds like a tidal wave.
