Chapter 1088 - The Coffin (1/2)
Chapter 1088: The Coffin
One month later.
In the Land of Heritage at the Cultivators’ Assembly.
At the center of the conference hall laid a white coffin.
To say that it was a coffin was not entirely accurate as it was still somewhat different from one.
The difference was that there were the words “to regard death as returning to one’s home” written on the side of it.
With “lay one’s life on the battlefield” on the other side.
There was also a horizontal inscription with the words “to press forward with indomitable will”.
After a long pause, someone posed the question. “What is this? Is there an ominous catastrophe that is about to befall us?”
“No, this is a kind of transmission mechanism that the AJO’s platform had requested us to release to the market.” Ren Ruofeng patiently explained.
“What does it do?” Someone came up and wanted to get a feel of the coffin.
“You can’t touch it. It’s currently in an unlocked state and it will automatically designate its user the minute one touches it,” Ren Ruofeng stopped the person as he continued, “Its function is to transfer mortals to the little world in the Upper Realm.”
“Gasp…doesn’t this mean that it’s replaced the function of the Heavenly Axiom?” Someone exclaimed.
“Uh, look closely, there’s another line written,” Ren Ruofeng said smiling
Everyone took a closer look and discovered that on the fourth side of the coffin, the characters “produced by the Heavenly Axiom” were faintly visible.
“So that’s how it is. It’s planning to turn into a large-scale, industrialized path,” someone made a thoughtful comment.
Clever people existed everywhere, but when there were too many of them, they would ruin a nation.
“Interesting, interesting.” Someone praised.
“There must be a hidden agenda behind this. Clearly, someone has to risk their life to do this.” Someone made an assumption.
“Nonsense, it’s agenda is obvious. Those with a weaker Cultivation Proficiency and those who are in the state of near-death and want to take a gamble would definitely be interested in this. Since the remotest times, there were few that did not fear death, but the sum of them is a significant amount,” someone shook their head and said.
“Is there anyone who wants to give it a go?” Someone asked.
For a long while, the question went unanswered. An item that had appeared suddenly out of nowhere such as this, who would dare to try it out?
However, since it was something brought out my Mr. Ren, it could not possibly have been something hazardous.
Just as the conference hall was about to fall into an awkward silence, a 40-year old male staff suddenly spoke up, “I’m willing to give it a try.”
“Oh, you’re a brave one. What is your name?” Someone asked curiously.
“Zhang Lu.”
A name that carried neither fame nor reputation. It appeared that he was just another nameless character. With his age and the fact that he had yet even to reach Pond-level, it was no wonder that he was willing to take the risk.
“This coffin appears to be dangerous, why are you willing to try it?”
“Because Mr. Ren had said so earlier that this was sent by the Alliance of Justice and Order, I’m sure that there wouldn’t be anything malignant about it,” Zhang Lu replied seriously.
“The Alliance of Justice and Order is unexpectedly famous and reputable in the eyes of these people at the bottom of the chain.” Some of the people glanced at each other and whispered.
“Of course, with the Great Venerable Dragon God as its leader, it’s bound to be remarkably prominent.”
“Alright, you may give it a try. I believe there wouldn’t be too much of a risk,” Ren Ruofeng nodded and said.
He did not bother seeking another’s opinion since it was someone that was able to enter the assembly, it must have been someone that had been tested and screened by the Truth Department.
The middle-aged man named Zhang Lu then entered the center of the hall and carefully climbed into the coffin and lied still.
The moment he had lied down, a translucent lid appeared on the two sides of the walls on the coffin and closed towards the center as it covered the sides of the coffin together.
Then, a red light flashed through as everyone looked through the translucent lid and found that the person had disappeared entirely.
Everyone waited patiently.
Three hours had passed during their wait.
Of course, everyone had their own busy schedules and only the staff had remained to keep watch as the others left to tend to their own matters.
Only when the staff had informed them of that Zhang Lu’s return did they once again gathered together in the hall.
Zhang Lu came out of the coffin with a face of excitement.
He turned towards the many cultivators who had rushed here and said seriously, “Everyone, would it be alright for me to purchase this coffin? No, it should be called ‘The Conservator.”
