Lu Ren's expression grew solemn, his gaze fixed on the coffin below, resembling a little ship, made entirely of green jade, like a boat, without any cover. The person inside lay exposed before the two of them.

A stunning beauty, dressed in a resplendent golden glow and lavish palace attire, lay in the jade ship, seemingly asleep.

Beneath was a silver lake formed by an unknown liquid, on which the ship floated silently.

This woman, at first glance, exuded such majesty and elegance, appearing like the most noble existence in the world, giving quite an illusion of a phoenix ruling the earth.

"Heh, even in death, she wanted to forge a treasure ship, intending to reach the other shore."

Zhang Tongxuan sneered repeatedly, full of mockery.

"These celestial beings, one thinks they're hallucinating, not even able to protect their own lives, yet dreaming big dreams here."

Pausing, Zhang Tongxuan asked Lu Ren with a puzzled expression, "Where are the marks of your collision from earlier?"

Lu Ren pointed his chin towards the jade ship.

"There, see it? When I collided, this jade ship spontaneously defended itself, emitting a green light like a solid wall, forcibly blocking me outside, not allowing an inch of progress."

Lu Ren left another sentence unsaid; logically, given his current strong physique, falling to the ground should cause no harm at all, but colliding with this green defensive barrier caused his body to tingle.

"Who is this woman?"

Lu Ren's gaze was solemn, continuously moving his body, easing his physique, making his body lively.

"Queen Mother of the West, the legendary ruler of countless female immortals during the mythical era!"

Lu Ren's expression changed: "Queen Mother of the West, how could you find such a tomb?!"

He then recalled Chang'e mentioning how Queen Mother of the West seemed to have quarreled with the Jade Emperor, causing a vast conflict in the Celestial Palace, involving many celestial beings, ultimately resulting in the Jade Emperor's victory, leaving Earth with the Celestial Palace.

But Chang'e also mentioned that, during this battle, Queen Mother of the West was severely injured, arranging her affairs hurriedly, her burial being minimal, leading to a prolonged sleep.

Looking at the silver lake around the jade ship where Queen Mother of the West lay, the lake wasn't large, merely a puddle, barely accommodating the jade ship.

But the liquid forming this silver lake was indeed precious.

"This is Jade Marrow Liquid mixed with Ten Thousand Year Stalactite, said to solidify the divine soul and halt physical decay, extremely rare even among the celestial beings, yet Queen Mother of the West used it to make a lake!!"

Zhang Tongxuan, full of hatred, exclaimed: "Mad, these celestial beings of the mythical era cruelly extracted the essence of the world, leading to the uncontrollable dissipation of the spiritual mechanism."

After all, celestial beings aren't immortal; without methods to extend life, normally they turn to dust within a millennium.

And this quasi-living, quasi-dead sleep, surviving so stubbornly, seems alive but worse than dead, self-awareness unknowable.

Severe long-term sleep can cause many unspeakable things due to self-magnetic influence, leading to bodily deformation, divine soul pollution, and involvement of mysterious affairs.

Although Zhang Tongxuan gained greatly from continuous grave digging over the past three years, he also faced substantial losses, resulting in several total annihilations.

Especially for figures like Queen Mother of the West, whose cultivation is inseparable from Seeking Truth Realm, once the body loses control of the divine soul, Seeking Truth Realm may emit unspeakable entities.

At this time, the jade ship where Queen Mother of the West lies is the best protector for the way.

"Mad, cultivating to end up like this ghostly form, not knowing exactly what for; if I face such a day, I think I'd rather commit suicide."

Lu Ren suddenly sighed, leaving Zhang Tongxuan speechless.

"What's next?"

Zhang Tongxuan rubbed his face, appearing middle-aged as the wrinkles gradually disappeared with heightened cultivation.

After clearing his mind, Zhang Tongxuan solemnly stated, "Certainly, we should kill her while she's asleep; it'd be better for both her and us. If Queen Mother of the West, a Great God Level figure, wakes, the consequences are unimaginable."

In their realm, modern nuclear weapons have started losing efficacy.

This power, modern technology might only find a threatening superweapon upon entering the interstellar age, undergoing breakthroughs.

Lu Ren held a pessimistic view about obtaining alien technology to continuously elevate humans for self-preservation.

It's hard.

While pondering, Lu Ren finally unraveled the tangled qi and blood meridians within his body, twisted his neck.

"Tell me, how do we kill her?"

Seeing Lu Ren eager, Zhang Tongxuan didn't speak, as Section Chief Chen's words came, full of surprise.

"Are you... Lu Ren?"

Lu Ren turned to look toward Section Chief Chen, who was half a body shorter than him.

"Who is this?"

"Chen Yuehua, the overall leader of this special operation, partnered with me for three years, you can call him Section Chief Chen."

Lu Ren slightly nodded, "Hello."

After greeting, Lu Ren intensely stared at Queen Mother of the West below.

Her appearance seemed merely twenty-five or twenty-six, yet she possessed unparalleled nobility, causing a shameful impulse upon sight, compelling one to bow heads and kneel.

Such... Overlord Qi, showing a bit!

Lu Ren stepped forward, arriving beside Queen Mother of the West in a flash, causing Zhang Tongxuan and Chen Yuehua's pupils to shrink abruptly.

He appeared below, without the two seeing any motion.

"Teleportation?!"

Chen Yuehua found his mouth dry, full of disbelief, picked up a device, and after manipulating, solemnly said: "The space fluctuation was intense earlier, reaching peak state."

Peak state implies the energy level for opening space gaps reached.

At this moment, Zhang Tongxuan's eyes turned golden, staring at Lu Ren's moving traces, discovering no anomalies except space fluctuation at Lu Ren's previous and current locations.

Foot tapping quickly, he moved beside Lu Ren, shocked, asked: "How did you do just now?"

Lu Ren glanced at him, "You should be at Path Determination Realm now, right?"

"Aren't you?"
