Chapter 59: Subduing the Coffin Occupant, Boundless Realm Power

He couldn't understand. Even Chi Yunzi, who was a highly esteemed Sixth Stage formation master during his lifetime, could at most inscribe Profound rank superior formations into a portable array disc. Any attempt to inscribe a Profound rank peak formation would cause the portable array disc to collapse under the inscription's power.

But now, after only a few thousand years, a portable array disc could actually contain Heaven-grade formations!?

It's important to note that even within those holy places of cultivation, protective formations at best reached the Heaven-grade. To lay down a Heaven-grade formation, how much effort and resources would a holy place need to invest?

Yet now, this woman held a portable array disc containing a Heaven-grade formation. The coffin man felt as if his entire worldview was crumbling!

"Little Ancestor, please don't shake your hands. Let's have a civilized discussion."

The person in the coffin stared fixedly at the array disc, feeling a bit dry in the mouth. At this moment, he had no intention of laying hands on Leng Yanran anymore. Putting aside the power of this Heaven-grade formation, he simply couldn't withstand it.

And consider the person who could casually carry a Heaven-grade portable array disc. Just how terrifying was her background? He couldn't even imagine. What kind of background could allow a mere Profound Sky Realm junior to possess a Heaven-grade formation at her fingertips?

After countless years, he was finally about to escape his suppressed fate. Never would he have thought that immediately after emerging from suppression, he would provoke a force even more terrifying than a holy place.

"Fairy Leng, what exactly is…"

Li Shenruo was bewildered, looking at Leng Yanran beside her with a stiff expression. She truly couldn't fathom why this terrifying person in the coffin suddenly knelt down.

"Nothing much, just some life-preserving items given by my master. In my master's hands, they wouldn't be considered treasures, but I didn't expect this guy to recognize the power of this array disc."

Leng Yanran casually replied, glancing slightly at the kneeling coffin occupant. In her mind, she couldn't help but contemplate how to make use of this coffin occupant and his puppet corpses.

Even within this secret realm, even without the intervention of the coffin occupant, the two Annihilation Realm puppet corpses alone could sweep through everything. Coupled with their thousands of years of familiarity with this secret realm's terrain, if she could enlist their help in collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the effect would undoubtedly be much better than if she did it herself.

"A life-preserving item given casually… Not considered treasures?"

The person in the coffin broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this, and his body involuntarily hunched down a bit, appearing even more humble. While Li Shenruo might not see the terror within this array disc, it was crystal clear to him!

Such a treasure, not to mention that Chi Yunzi never qualified to possess it during his lifetime, even the scions of those holy places, what chances had they to produce such a thing?

Listening to Leng Yanran's words, it was evident that the treasures given by her master weren't limited to just this item. She even said this wasn't considered a treasure! Too horrifying…

Could it be that this girl's master was an immortal who had descended to the mortal realm to experience the world of mortals?

However, in Leng Yanran's heart, these truly weren't considered treasures. She had witnessed her master create ten array discs and a hundred jade pendants capable of holding divine powers in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

If one spoke of true treasures, the first time she met her master, she had seen him wield a mysterious yellow ruler that was at least an Immortal-grade artifact!

"Alright, here's the deal. I won't make things difficult for you either. If you take me to the real Scarlet Cloud Immortal Palace and command the puppet corpses here to collect all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures they can find within this secret realm, then I won't trouble you. How about that?"

Leng Yanran pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to make good use of this force. With that, she lightly tapped the array disc with her finger, producing crisp sounds, causing the coffin man's heart to jump up and down…

"Seeing you speak like this, from the moment I saw fairy, I was utterly captivated by fairy's aura. I'm willing to serve fairy, even to the point of sacrificing my life. Even if fairy hadn't asked, I would've sincerely collected heavenly materials and earthly treasures for fairy.

"However... there's something the Fairy doesn't know. This cavern was built by me to suppress it, and it contains Profound rank superior formations. I'm fundamentally unable to leave this cavern, let alone escort the Fairy to the Immortal Palace!"

Upon hearing Leng Yanran's words, the coffin man promptly patted his chest, his face brimming with sincerity. Hearing this, Leng Yanran didn't really care, and Li Shenruo beside her was left stunned. Wasn't this the same person who had been shouting and threatening them just moments ago? She almost believed him, almost!

"No problem, I'll help you break this restriction. Be diligent and serve me to the best of your abilities within this secret realm. Afterward, I'll grant you your freedom."

Leng Yanran waved her hand nonchalantly, she wasn't about to waste the power of a Boundless realm expert for nothing.

"Huh? If the Fairy helps me remove this restriction, I will obey the Fairy's every command!"

The coffin man was befuddled. He had only said these things because he feared being near Leng Yanran and being threatened by her Heaven-grade attack formation. But he truly couldn't leave this place, and that part was no lie.

"Consume this, and I'll aid your escape."

Leng Yanran replied indifferently. She didn't really believe the coffin man's words and produced a jade pendant containing her master's divine inscription from her waist pouch.

She infused it with her own energy, allowing her to activate it at any time with a thought. If she were to fall in battle, her spiritual energy would activate the jade pendant. Only in this way could she feel at ease having this Boundless realm powerhouse by her side.

"This... there's no need, right? I'll stand by my word, I won't go back on it."

The coffin man gazed at the jade pendant in Leng Yanran's hand and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The aura emanating from the jade pendant alone made him feel danger.

The divine inscription contained within was surely something he couldn't contend with. Not to mention swallowing it; if he did, his life and death would be entirely under Leng Yanran's control. If she were to change her mind later and not grant him freedom, he would be utterly doomed!

"The way you're doing this, it's hard for me to trust you… Well, if that's the case, it might be more reassuring if you were turned to ashes."

Leng Yanran heard the refusal and had no intention of trying to persuade him. She was planning to activate the array disc and level this place. Since this Boundless realm expert couldn't be used by her, keeping him would only be a threat!

"Little Ancestor, wait a minute! I will eat. It's just eating, why can't I eat?"
