"Could there be a secluded senior expert skilled in Geomancy Technique living here?
We must be polite and absolutely cannot offend them.
Back on that other island, we were pulled into a dreamscape and almost couldn't escape.
If you hadn't cultivated the sword dao inheritance from the Sword God, we likely wouldn't have had a chance to leave that island at all. So we must be extremely cautious."
Hun Lao transmitted via sound to Ye Yunfei.
Right at this moment.
Boom...
Deafening roars came from the sea surface in the distance, and then the distant waters began to erupt violently. The seawater shook and swirled madly, forming enormous whirlpools, and waves towering tens of thousands of meters high swept across the sky.
Then, to his shock, Ye Yunfei saw a pitch-black coffin rapidly moving across the sea surface, rolling directly towards the island he was on.
That black coffin was incredibly massive, seemingly cast from some kind of extremely hard refining material. It was pitch-black, like a dark hole.
No one was carrying this coffin, nor was it being pulled by anything. It floated on the sea surface by itself, moving towards the island at a terrifying speed, arriving right before the island in an instant.
"Hei Xuan Zhenren has come, wishing to bury his bones in Burial God Island! I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this!"
A powerful voice erupted from within the black coffin. The sound waves formed by this voice rolled across the sea surface and created a resounding echo between heaven and earth.
"I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this! I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this..."
One resonant response after another repeated incessantly, ear-splittingly loud.
"How terrifying!
Another powerful expert. And this expert should already have fallen, because I can sense a thick death aura and don't feel any life force at all.
To possess such power even after falling... one can only imagine how terrifying this coffin's owner must have been when alive!"
Huang Shang exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yunfei's gaze scrutinized the pitch-black massive coffin, and his heart was also filled with shock.
"Burial God Island?
The owner of this coffin has come here wanting to be buried on this island?
And all those other coffins we saw earlier... could they also want to be buried on this island?"
After hearing the voice from the black coffin, Hun Lao said with astonishment.
The voice from the black coffin rang out several times in a row, but received no response.
Boom...
Suddenly, the pitch-black coffin rose from the sea surface, flying upwards towards the island.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei felt a terrifying, unimaginably powerful energy aura erupt from the island, crashing towards the black coffin.
The black coffin immediately halted mid-air, neither retreating nor advancing further. It radiated billowing power, clashing against the energy aura erupting from the island.
For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate.
"I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this! I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this..."
The same voice continuously issued again from the black coffin, but the terrifying energy aura from the island relentlessly blocked the black coffin's advance, preventing it from landing.
"Fortunately, this terrifying energy didn't attack us when we boarded the island earlier. Otherwise, we'd all be shattered into pieces."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, if this terrifying energy had targeted us just now, we would have been no match for it."
Hun Lao nodded in agreement.
"I implore the island-guarding senior to grant me this..."
The voice from the black coffin sounded constantly, repeating without end, absolutely refusing to give up on boarding the island. But the terrifying energy aura from the island showed no sign of retreat either. The two remained locked in this stalemate.
After nearly half an hour, suddenly, with a deafening explosion, the black coffin violently shattered, its planks breaking into countless dark fragments.
Then Ye Yunfei saw an old man shrouded in a black robe appear.
To be precise, the corpse of an old man.
This elder's eyes were tightly shut, his face pale. There wasn't the slightest trace of life force emanating from his entire body; instead, it was filled with a thick corpse aura. It was clearly a corpse.
After this elder's corpse appeared, all the shattered black coffin fragments gathered towards his body, adhering to its surface, and actually transformed into a suit of black armor that covered his corpse from head to toe.
Then this black-armored elder corpse began walking towards the island in stiff, jerky movements. Streams of dark, profound runes continuously erupted from his corpse.
However, the terrifying energy aura from the island still blocked the advance of this elder's corpse.
Suddenly, a terrifying howl emanated from within the elder's corpse, shaking the sky and causing massive waves to surge across the surrounding sea, a scene of formidable might.
Then a massive black bell erupted from the head of the elder's corpse.
This black bell continuously enlarged, hovering above the elder's corpse. Then, it was struck by an invisible force.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
One terrifying toll after another continuously rang out.
The elder, with stiff motions, took one heavy step after another towards the island. Each toll of the giant black bell above him coincided with a difficult step forward.
In this manner, the elder's corpse moved forward slowly and with great difficulty. After a moment, it finally stepped onto the island, landing on its ground.
At that exact instant, Ye Yunfei felt the terrifying energy aura that had been emanating from the island instantly vanish. Then, the black armor covering the elder's body soared into the air, continuously shifting and reassembling.
Then, under Ye Yunfei's astonished gaze, it transformed once more into that enormous black coffin.
The elder's corpse floated up, entering the black coffin. Then, with another deafening roar, the black coffin plunged into the ground of the island and vanished.
"It seems this powerful expert truly wanted to bury his corpse on this island. He referred to it as Burial God Island just now.
It seems this island is anything but ordinary."
Witnessing the previous events, Hun Lao couldn't help but feel greatly shaken and transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, this island is definitely not simple.
Firstly, it's an exceptionally special landmass. The Earth Qi Energy and earth laws present here are far more advanced than even those on Xuanhuang Continent.
Although my skill in Geomancy Technique is already quite good, I simply don't have the ability to penetrate beneath the surface of this island."
Sensing the auras beneath the island's surface, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but shake his head.
"Looking at it this way, all those coffins we encountered earlier on the sea surface were likely all heading for this island, wanting to bury their corpses here.
What kind of attraction does this island possess to make the corpses of such powerful experts travel thousands of miles to bury themselves here?
Can burying a corpse on this island offer some benefit?
But these experts have already fallen. Does it matter where their corpses are buried?
Surely, burying a corpse here can't bring about resurrection, can it?"
Hun Lao said.
"Resurrection?"
Hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei felt a stirring in his heart.
"According to legends, Geomancy Technique does indeed include some mysterious topographies said to allow resurrection.
But such topographies exist only in legends. It's not necessarily true. Even if such heaven-defying topography truly existed, it would be exceedingly rare in the world. Could this island really be one?"
Ye Yunfei speculated.
"Topography that allows resurrection? Is that even possible? If such heaven-defying topography truly existed, wouldn't every powerful expert in the world, after falling, seek desperately to bury their corpse within it?
Such legendary matters aren't necessarily reliable."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Didn't we just witness the owner of that black coffin desperately trying to bury his corpse on this island!?
Didn't you see how hard that old fellow fought just now to bury his corpse here?"
Hu Miao chimed in.
"Does that mean... could this island be the legendary, heaven-defying topography that allows resurrection?"
Hun Lao asked, shocked.
"This is the Ancient Desolate Sea, a Forbidden Land notorious since the Ancient Era. Here, anything is possible."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
"If that's really the case, then when we fall in the future, we should come here too and bury ourselves on this island. We might get a chance to live a second life then.
That would be like gaining an extra life!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"It's not that easy! Didn't you see that powerful expert just now?
He expended enormous effort just to finally bury his corpse here.
His corpse still possessed such terrifying power after he fell, showing he must have been an immensely powerful expert when alive.
Probably only such experts, after falling, have a chance to be buried here. At our current strength, don't even think about it. Only if we can one day become that level of terrifying expert would we have a chance."
Hun Lao retorted.
"Anything is possible. Maybe we'll become experts of that level in the future."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm insisted.
"If we truly become experts of that level, we'd possess incredibly long lifespans and wouldn't fall easily."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
