Chapter 0458: The Fairy

Qin Yun was dumbfounded when he looked inside.

Inside the circular coffin lay an incredibly beautiful woman, her eyes shut as if in slumber.

She was clad in a white gown, her form shrouded in a faint silvery mist, as if bathed in immortal energy.

Next to her lay a few items, including some books and small boxes.

Qin Yun grabbed the books and leafed through them, finding they were linked to the Burial Immortal Diagram. He declared, "I’m taking these books!"

Mu Fengxiao, Zi Qingcheng, and Shui Tianzi left the items untouched, since only Qin Yun and Wu Mingxu had the right to take them.

Wu Mingxu glanced at the books and remarked, "They’re useless to me. Take them."

"This little bottle must contain pills!" Wu Mingxu opened a jade bottle and smiled. "Sure enough, there’s a pill inside. No clue what it is, but it’s yours!"

Qin Yun accepted it with a smile, "Thanks, Senior Wu, for being so generous!"

Wu Mingxu picked up a few white stones and said, "These appear to be forging materials. I’ll give you one."

Once he took it, Qin Yun felt a unique energy within, reminiscent of what he’d experienced in the Moon Palace. It was infused with immortal energy.

"This looks like a legacy of strange patterns!" Wu Mingxu picked up a piece of animal hide and showed it to Qin Yun.

"It’s the Moon Pattern!" Qin Yun instantly recognized it. "It’s yours."

Wu Mingxu smiled, "Thank you!"

Qin Yun also uncovered a piece of animal hide, with a totem of a flaming bird drawn on it.

"This is the Nine Heavens Vermilion Bird Totem!" Wu Mingxu exclaimed in surprise. "It’s really here!"

"I want it!" Qin Yun said.

"Fine, the totem’s not very clear anyway," Wu Mingxu didn’t mind.

They searched around but didn’t find much else. There were no legendary immortal artifacts or anything of the sort.

Qin Yun remarked, "Seems like there’s not much here!"

Wu Mingxu chuckled, "Be content! At least the woman didn’t wake up, or we would have gotten nothing!"

"Those stones might be materials for forging immortal artifacts from the Immortal Wasteland! And that pill is likely an immortal pill. If you take it, you might make a huge leap forward!"

Qin Yun looked at the sleeping woman and said, "Sister Baozi, look at her. Her face is a bit round! It should be fun to pinch. I’ll go pinch her!"

With that, he actually reached out and pinched the woman's cheek.

Just as his hand touched the soft cheek of the woman, her eyes suddenly snapped open, and a surge of cold air erupted, causing the temperature in the tomb chamber to plummet.

Even Shui Tianzi and the others shivered from the cold.

Qin Yun was utterly shocked because he felt his hand being sucked onto the woman's jade-like face, unable to pull it back!

Roar!

Qin Yun had used his left hand to touch her, and at that moment, the Sky Lion Thunderfire Martial Soul let out a roar, seemingly resisting the cold energy that was invading Qin Yun's body.

"How dare you!"

Her eyes radiated an icy coldness, as if her gaze could turn someone to ice. Her voice was laced with a murderous chill, making Qin Yun tremble.

Qin Yun cursed himself for his recklessness and tried to withdraw his hand, but it was too late.

The woman sat up, her hand clamped around Qin Yun's throat, while with her other hand, she struck at Wu Mingxu. Her palm released a burst of icy energy that instantly formed into two swords, piercing his shoulders and pinning him against the ice wall.

Despite Wu Mingxu's formidable strength, the woman subdued him with a single strike!

"Fairy sister, I apologize, I shouldn't have touched your face!" Qin Yun's throat felt frozen, and the cold energy coursing through his body threatened to turn him to ice.

The woman let go of Qin Yun and shoved him aside, then glanced at Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng before fixing her gaze on Mu Fengxiao.

"Did you open this tomb?" With a wave of her hand, the woman melted the ice swords pinning Wu Mingxu.

Remarkably, the melted ice swords healed his wounds.

Her power was truly awe-inspiring!

Strangely, the woman, who had been furious moments ago, now seemed calm.

"Yes, it was us! Were you sealed here?" Wu Mingxu asked, his face filled with fear.

The woman said, "Did you take everything near me?"

"We can give them back!" Qin Yun quickly responded.

"No need, they’re worthless!" The woman said coldly.

She stepped forward, approached Qin Yun, and examined his Sky Lion arm. "I never thought a human could inherit the Sky Lion’s power!"

"Well... I guess I just got lucky!" Qin Yun smiled.

"Luck?" The woman sneered.

Qin Yun squirmed under her icy stare, detecting a mix of anger and hatred in her eyes when she looked at him.

"Fairy sister, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to..." Before Qin Yun could finish, the woman grabbed his throat again.

Her body trembled slightly as she said angrily, "I really want to break your neck!"

After saying that, she released Qin Yun again.

It was clear to everyone that the woman's anger towards Qin Yun wasn't just because he touched her face. The hatred in her eyes wasn't something that could have developed in a short time; it seemed to have accumulated over many years.

Qin Yun suddenly remembered something. When he was in the Moon Palace, the old lady had mentioned that his past life was some kind of Celestial King.

He suspected that this Celestial King had once wronged this woman.

Of course, he couldn't be sure yet that his past life was that Celestial King, so he wasn't ready to take the blame.

"Is this Wuhuang?" The woman asked.

"Yes!" Qin Yun quickly answered, not knowing why, but he felt that although the woman hated him, she didn't truly intend to kill him.

The woman took a gentle breath, and the surrounding coldness disappeared. Even the glowing ice walls turned into white mist and flowed into the woman's body.

After the ice wall disappeared, the place turned pitch black, but soon, a white light burst from the woman, illuminating the tomb chamber!

Qin Yun and the others could immediately see the walls carved with the totem of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sparrow.

"Sister Fairy, are the totems on the walls designed to counter you?" Qin Yun boldly asked.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Sparrow is the soul of the divine fire sun! I am ice, and I fear such things the most. But after being sealed in ice for so many years, the totem can't affect me!" the woman said coldly.

Qin Yun was now certain that the Yang Spirit pearl he obtained was actually an egg containing a Nine Heavens Mysterious Sparrow!

"How are things outside?" she asked Wu Mingxu, as he was the strongest among them here.

"I don't know either. I helped build this tomb but was sealed away for making a mistake. This kid saved me!" Wu Mingxu said, looking at Qin Yun.

"As for the situation outside, it's hard to say!" Qin Yun scratched his head. "Wuhuang is pretty stable, and nothing major has happened!"

She snorted and coldly asked, "Is the Nine Sun still in the sky?"

Qin Yun quickly nodded, "Of course it is!"

"I guess I haven't been sealed that long if the Nine Sun is still in the sky!" she muttered to herself.

When Wu Mingxu first met Qin Yun and the others, he also asked if the Nine Sun was still there, the same question.

Mu Fengxiao said, "It's the end of the Ninth Era now!"

Both Wu Mingxu and the woman were stunned.

"Senior Wu, what's the matter?" Qin Yun hurriedly asked.

Wu Mingxu explained, "One era lasts ten thousand years. This tomb was built at the beginning of the Eighth Era, and now it's the end of the Ninth Era, so it's been about twenty thousand years! According to the prophecy, at the beginning of the Ninth Era, the Nine Sun would fall, and the Nine Wastelands would be engulfed in divine fire, burning until the end of the Ninth Era!"

The woman also looked puzzled and said, "It's not a prophecy, but it truly happened! After the divine fire stops, the Nine Wastelands will spawn a new Nine Sun, starting a new Nine Sun Era!"

Qin Yun thought this was very possible, as there were nine ancient gardens meant to house the souls of the Nine Suns, and now he had obtained one Yang Spirit!

As for the complex world of the Nine Suns, Qin Yun found it difficult to comprehend.

Wu Mingxu said, "It seems now that this Nine Sun Era will not face destruction!"

"I need to go out and see!" she said urgently and quickly walked out of the empty main hall.

Qin Yun and the others followed behind.

Wu Mingxu and the others were very curious about the woman's identity. According to legend, she should have some connection with the Celestial Emperor, yet she was sealed here.

They soon arrived at the main hall, which was empty.

The woman walked out of the hall and looked at the Nine Sun in the sky, frowning. "The life force of the Nine Sun is still very strong, with no signs of falling. What's going on?"

"This is just a wasteland. Let's go outside and see!" Wu Mingxu said, then flew across the lake toward the bridge.

The woman followed him silently, occasionally glancing at Qin Yun, her eyes always filled with a sense of hatred.

Qin Yun silently cursed the Celestial King who looked so much like him. He was certain that this fairy must have mistaken him for that Celestial King.

Soon, they arrived at the broken bridge.

Old Eagle and Old Lady Du were also there. They were very happy to see Qin Yun and Zi Qingcheng still alive.

They seemed to realize that Wu Mingxu and Zi Qingcheng were very powerful!

Qin Yun and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, as they had finally managed to leave the immortal tomb's desolate realm.

Once outside, Zi Qingcheng looked up at the Nine Sun in the sky, sensing its overwhelming power!

"You, come with me!" Zi Qingcheng suddenly grabbed Qin Yun and, in an instant, they vanished!

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi were both very anxious.

"Senior Wu, hurry after them!" Zi Qingcheng urgently pleaded.

"Don't worry, the woman has no intention of harming Qin Yun. It’s likely something about Qin Yun that has piqued her curiosity!" Wu Mingxu said.
