Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1525: Chapter 1524: The World Inside the Stone Coffin

After saying these words, the dean’s expression became somewhat wistful, as if recalling some sorrowful event, and he sighed softly.

Su Yang was observing the eight stone coffins, and upon hearing the sigh, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, ”Dean, what’s wrong?”

”Ah!” The dean sighed and said, ”To speak of it, your father’s mysterious disappearance is somewhat related to this matter.”

”What do you mean?” Su Yang asked in astonishment.

”Do you know why the eight stone coffins are being brought here, and why your father had to set up an array here?” the dean asked.

Su Yang shrugged. Of course, he couldn’t possibly know. If it was just to guard the eight heroic spirits, directly bringing the eight stone coffins here would suffice; there was no need for such a complex array.

”Because these eight stone coffins are the entrance portals to those eight other worlds,” the dean said. ”They are what we call the domain points!”

”What!?” Su Yang’s eyes widened in shock, and he was stunned on the spot.

The dean smiled slightly and said softly, ”The channels to these eight worlds are sealed within these stone coffins!”

”Why... why is it like this?” Su Yang asked in bewilderment.

”We did this on purpose,” the dean said. ”The channels to the eight worlds, although sealed, no one knows if any masters from those eight worlds remain in the Human Realm. If such people find the channels, they still might be able to breach them. Once the channels are broken, all previous seals would have been in vain. Therefore, the best method was to gather all eight channels together for protection.”

”Previously, we didn’t have the strength to do this, so the channels to the eight worlds occasionally got opened by surprise attacks. Therefore, some people later intervened to seal these channels again.” The dean paused, looking at the little turtle curiously peeking around from Su Yang’s shoulder, and said softly, ”Its mother was the Divine Beast Black Tortoise. Hundreds of years ago, the Asura Realm’s channel seal was broken, and experts from the Asura Realm invaded the Human Realm. The Black Tortoise was urgently dispatched and, without even meeting its child, it rushed into the domain point of the Asura Realm and resealed the channel of the Asura Realm.”

Su Yang couldn’t help but feel shaken and glanced at the little turtle beside him. Who could have imagined that this little creature’s mother had accomplished such a heroic feat back then?

With this in mind, the little turtle being placed underwater seemed to be the last preparation done by the Black Tortoise when rushing into the Asura Realm’s channel. Knowing it might never return, it prepared everything for its child.

If Su Yang hadn’t entered that underwater space, the little turtle might still be slowly growing underwater, consuming all the herbs left by the Black Tortoise, before emerging.

Su Yang sighed, and as he reached out to stroke the back shell of the little turtle, he resolved in his heart to be kinder to the little creature in the future.

”In fact, it’s not just the Black Tortoise here; there are other Divine Beasts as well. For example, the Kylin, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger are all among these eight stone coffins,” the dean said. ”The last time you came, you disturbed the heroic spirits within the stone coffins. They sensed the aura of the little turtle and the four Divine Beast Jade Stones on you. So, they used their powers to enhance the little turtle and the four Divine Beast Jade Stones further.”

”I see!” Su Yang finally understood why the last time the four Divine Beast Jade Stones on him and the little turtle received nourishment from the power within the eight stone coffins. It turned out they had encountered the genuine spirits.

”However, didn’t you say the Divine Beast Kylin used its life to nearly collapse the Heavenly Path?” Su Yang asked. ”Is it... is it still in these stone coffins?”

The dean explained, ”The Divine Beast Kylin has been dead for a long time, but its power hasn’t dissipated. It’s because its power remains within the Heavenly Path that the Heavenly Realm has always been unable to repair it.”

”What about the other Divine Beasts?” Su Yang quickly asked.

The dean said, ”Some have perished in battle, while others still survive. However, even those who survive are gravely injured and remain here to recuperate.”

Su Yang nodded slowly, once again looking at these eight stone coffins, feeling deeply moved. These eight heroic spirits sacrificed their lives to protect the Human Realm—truly admirable!

”We have experienced many such events before, so we thought about gathering all eight channels together for protection,” the dean said. ”But transferring these eight channels is not an easy task. It took us hundreds of years, yet we couldn’t find a good way to accomplish this. Until your father appeared, he devised a method with great divine ability, refining and sealing the space around these domain points, bringing them all to Qinghe Academy.”

”Of course, to prevent outsiders from discovering the domain points’ exact locations, we sealed the eight domain points within the stone coffins. We claimed they were the coffins of the eight heroic spirits, so no one has known until now that the domain points are hidden here.”

Su Yang couldn’t help but feel shocked. If the dean hadn’t spoken, he would never have imagined that these eight stone coffins contained the domain points of those eight channels. Now Su Yang finally understood why when he observed the scene inside the stone coffins, he saw various bizarre phenomena—it was likely the scenery of those eight worlds!

”Then what does my father’s disappearance have to do with this?” Su Yang quickly asked. ”Did he... did he also go to seal one of the channels?”

”Not really!” The dean shook his head. ”He just placed the eight domain points into the stone coffins, and after sending the eight stone coffins to Qinghe Academy, he expended too much power. Following that, he went to duel someone, then mysteriously disappeared. If he hadn’t exhausted so much energy here, he would have had complete certainty of winning that battle, and his disappearance wouldn’t have been possible!”

Su Yang frowned, pondering for a while, and asked in a low voice, ”Who did he have a final battle with?”

”The then Lord of the Heavenly Court, an expert from the Heavenly Realm,” the dean paused. ”However, this person disappeared with your father as well!”

”The Lord of the Heavenly Court!” Su Yang silently noted this as his enemy.

”By the way, Dean, how did I see the contents on the Destiny Compass here?” Su Yang asked.

Previously, while here, he had seen the contents of many bronze seal scripts, from which he had greatly benefited. Su Yang had always been curious about this phenomenon. Would the walls here contain bronze seal script contents?

”This is the second reason I brought you here!” The dean extended his right hand and gently waved it, causing the eight stone coffins to radiate brilliance. After a while, a dozen bronze seal scripts flew out from the surroundings of the eight stone coffins and fell into the dean’s hand.
