Chapter 156: Ancient Stone Coffin
"Follow me!"

Suddenly, Zhan Taixuan stopped chanting, reminded Zhang Qian, and stepped into the passage.

Zhang Qian hurriedly followed behind Zhan Taixuan. After entering the passage, the illusory giant tree behind Zhan Taixuan suddenly emitted a fairy light and became dim and hazy.

The endless black fog in the passage made a sizzling corrosive sound when it encountered the fairy light cast by the giant tree.

The terrifying black fog seemed to corrode the giant tree, but the fairy light radiated by the giant tree was full of endless vitality, and no matter how the black fog corroded it, it did not retreat even a little bit.

Zhan Taixuan's pace gradually quickened, and black fog rolled around. What surprised Zhang Qian was that the black fog condensed into the shapes of swords, spears, and halberds, carrying unparalleled sharpness and stabbing towards the fairy light of the giant tree.

But the hazy fairy light cast by the giant tree was unexpectedly solid and was not moved at all.

Zhang Qian looked at this strange black mist and felt regretful in his heart: "It's a pity that magical powers are forbidden here, and I dare not touch this black mist now. Otherwise, I can manifest the Qiankun Cauldron, collect and refine this black mist, and maybe I can refine a magical weapon that specifically corrodes the spiritual consciousness of cultivators."

After staring at the black fog for a while, Zhang Qian thought about it and found that even if he displayed the power of a Golden Immortal, he would not be able to do anything about the black fog. After all, power was just power and not real cultivation.

No one knew how long this passage was. The two of them walked for almost half an hour and still couldn't see the end.

"How much longer?"

Zhang Qian couldn't help but ask.

Zhan Taixuan replied without even turning his head: "Don't worry, it should be almost at the end."

Sure enough, not long after Zhan Taixuan finished speaking, the black fog in front of him gradually thinned, and a ray of light appeared in front.

Half a minute later, the two of them saw a light in front of them and finally walked out of the long passage.

This is a huge and perfectly round stone chamber, approximately a thousand miles in circumference, and extremely magnificent.

The stone chamber is a thousand feet high, and tens of thousands of luminous pearls are inlaid on the top of the stone chamber according to the positions of the stars in the sky, illuminating this huge stone chamber like daylight.

There was nothing else in the extremely wide stone chamber, only a dark stone coffin standing in the center of the chamber.

The smooth floor of the entire stone chamber was covered with densely packed Dao patterns. These Dao patterns were extremely complex, and at first glance it seemed as if one was facing the entire Zhou Tai Starry Sky.

Moreover, these Dao patterns are extremely natural, without the slightest trace of artificiality at all, as if these Dao patterns were formed naturally and not artificially made at all.

The source of all Dao patterns is the sarcophagus in the center of the stone chamber.

The sarcophagus was quietly placed there. Zhang Qian took a look at it and his sea of ​​consciousness was shaken violently. A majestic and ominous aura suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Rumble...!
Zhang Qian's sea of ​​consciousness was churning and his soul was trembling. This majestic and ominous aura ignored all obstacles and descended directly onto Zhang Qian's soul, wrapping around it.

"not good!"

Zhang Qian's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a terrible crisis just by taking a look at the sarcophagus.

He hurriedly focused his mind and struggled to mobilize his spiritual awareness to cover the surface of his soul, trying to drive away the ominous aura.

However, it didn't work at all. This ominous aura was a thousand times more terrifying than the ominous aura that Meng Lingsu had released at the beginning!
The power of Zhang Qian's luck was simply unable to resist this ominous aura.

Zhan Taixuan was facing the same crisis as Zhang Qian at this moment. The moment she saw the sarcophagus, she seemed very excited. However, she was haunted by endless ominousness after only one glance at the sarcophagus.

"Ugh...!" Zhan Taixuan groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, the towering tree behind him did not play any role at all.

Zhang Qian was now in a life-and-death crisis. More and more ominous auras enveloped his soul. Zhang Qian sensed a fatal crisis. He knew deeply that if even a trace of ominous aura contaminated his soul, his soul would be shattered immediately.

He could only use his vast spiritual power to cover his soul and barely block the invasion of the ominous aura.

Seeing his spiritual consciousness being rapidly consumed, the broken jade immersed deep in Zhang Qian's soul finally moved. Not only the broken jade moved, but also the many illusory innate spiritual treasures in the broken jade moved.

One of the magic spears was trembling, as if it would burst out from the broken jade at any time. Zhang Qian could see clearly that this magic spear was the legendary God-killing Spear that could kill saints!

"God-killing gun!"

Sensing the movement of the God-killing Gun, Zhang Qian was shocked and very excited.

However, as Canyu dispelled all the ominous aura that enveloped his soul, the God-killing Spear inside became quiet and no longer made any movement, making Zhang Qian excited in vain.

Without the ominous aura that shrouded his soul, Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes, but did not dare to look at the strange and terrifying sarcophagus again.

“This sarcophagus can actually activate the God-killing Spear in the broken jade! It’s a pity that I dare not come into contact with this ominous aura. Otherwise, if I had the ability to refine this ominous aura, I might be able to make the God-killing Spear manifest and thus comprehend its magical power!”

This is the God-killing Spear. Legend has it that anyone who is scratched by the God-killing Spear even a hairline will have his soul devoured immediately and die a violent death. This treasure was the one that the Demon Ancestor Luohou used to fight against the Taoist Ancestor and others!
"Pity!"

Sighing, Zhang Qian turned around and looked at Zhan Taixuan, his expression changed.

“Ugh…, help…help me!”

At this moment, blood was oozing from the corners of Zhan Taixuan's mouth. The towering tree that appeared behind him was shaking, as if it would disappear at any time. Moreover, Zhan Taixuan's breath was gradually weakening, and he was about to die here!
Zhang Qian hurriedly came up to Zhan Taixuan, stretched out his finger and pointed at the center of her eyebrows. His spiritual consciousness followed her eyebrows to Zhan Taixuan's inner world and saw Zhan Taixuan's soul.

"this!"

However, Zhang Qian was shocked by Zhan Taixuan's spirit.

"how so!"

Zhang Qian's face changed, it turned out that Zhan Taixuan's soul was incomplete!
Her soul was not a perfect soul at all, but rather incomplete. Zhang Qian could tell at a glance that this soul was just a split soul.

"It's actually a split soul! You...you are someone else's clone!"

Zhang Qian felt very complicated. The moment he saw the appearance of Zhan Taixuan's soul, Zhang Qian understood that Zhan Taixuan was actually someone else's clone. Her physical body was indeed a real physical body and an independent individual without any flaws, but her soul was someone else's clone. To put it bluntly, she could barely be considered a clone of an unknown existence!

"Are you disappointed?"

Zhan Taixuan's soul made a sound, her tone was full of disappointment and despair. At this moment, her biggest secret was discovered by Zhang Qian, but she inexplicably felt a sense of happiness and relief in her heart.

At this time, Zhan Taixuan's soul was shrouded in endless ominous aura, and her spiritual consciousness that protected her soul was almost exhausted. Once her spiritual consciousness was exhausted, Zhan Taixuan would die.

Hearing the despair and a hint of relief in Zhan Taixuan's tone, Zhang Qian felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly smiled slightly: "No, it's not disappointment, just a little distressed. How can my woman be someone else's clone? You don't have to despair, believe me, you won't die here, one day I will make you a truly independent existence, help you devour the main soul that controls you, and let you be free!"

Zhan Taixuan smiled gently: "You don't need to comfort me. These ominous auras are irresistible. When my consciousness is exhausted, I will die... and you are wrong. Although I am the soul of that existence, I am not her, and she cannot control me. I am myself, I am Zhan Taixuan."
