…

This was Ling Chen’s current status panel. It could only be described as extravagant to the extreme. The Heavenly Emperor Scripture was not merely a cultivation method—it also included countless battle techniques and secret arts.

All were personally created by the Demon Emperor Dijun himself, and their power was unparalleled. However, upon seeing his remaining Shock Points, Ling Chen nearly burst into tears. From his original six million Shock Points, only a few hundred thousand remained.

The reason? It all lay in acquiring the Golden Crow Royal Bloodline.

This was far beyond the level of the Golden Crow blood essence Ling Chen used to fool Xiao Yueying. What he now possessed could rival the most powerful Golden Crow bloodlines of the demon emperors Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

In fact, even among the ten Golden Crow princes, none had blood as pure as his. Moreover, he didn’t just obtain the bloodline — he also gained the physique, innate divine powers, and other abilities derived from it.

The Golden Crow clan was one of the most powerful demon clans in the Primordial Era. The Golden Crow Emperor Physiques of Dijun and Taiyi could even rival the physical strength of the Ancestral Witches of the Wu Tribe.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow, also known as the Solar Divine Bird, possessed the innate divine power called “I Am the Sun”, allowing them to transform into a true sun and illuminate the nine heavens.

This divine ability was considered one of the strongest in the entire Primordial Era and required an extremely pure bloodline to activate. In the entire Three-Legged Golden Crow clan, only Dijun, Taiyi, and the ten Golden Crow princes could use it.

Besides “I Am the Sun,” the Golden Crows were born on the Sun Star and naturally mastered the strongest fire-based Dao. Once they released the Golden Crow Divine Fire, it was like the sun crashing down from the heavens — nothing could withstand it.

However, the Three-Legged Golden Crow wasn’t only about raw power. They also possessed stealth abilities like “Snow Falls Without a Trace,” an innate divine power that could completely conceal their presence without leaving the slightest trace of aura.

In comparison, Xiao Yueying’s Golden Crow bloodline was extremely weak. The blood essence Ling Chen gave her was merely that of an ordinary Golden Crow, diluted countless times over. Her innate divine powers were vastly inferior to Ling Chen’s “I Am the Sun” and “Falling Sun Melts Gold.”

Her Golden Crow bloodline was only worth 1,000 shock points, while Ling Chen’s was worth five million — that was the difference between them!

Fortunately, the Immortal Profound World wasn’t very powerful overall. Even pure-blooded Golden Crows only existed in murals, and even remnants with a trace of Golden Crow blood were considered incredibly powerful.

Xiao Yueying’s Golden Crow bloodline, after all, was that of a pure-blood Golden Crow—at the very least, it ranked at the “Immortal” level, far superior to those degenerate offshoots.

Otherwise, the ruse would have been exposed at this stage. Back then, Ling Chen had no choice. He simply had too few Shock Points—nowhere near enough to create a true royal Golden Crow bloodline.

In order to harvest as many Shock Points as possible, he could only make do with a lesser version, passing it off as something better than it really was. Still, this wasn’t an irreparable mistake.

After all, the Golden Crow essence blood had existed for hundreds of thousands of years—it was only natural that its potency would have been diluted over time.

Moreover, he had already laid down a contingency: the second layer of the Golden Crow Secret Realm. When the time came, he would make further arrangements to grant Xiao Yueying an even more powerful Golden Crow inheritance, which would naturally cover up the shortcomings of his earlier deception.

“Received +30 Shock Points from Zhang Cheng. Current Shock Point balance: 700,000…”

Listening to the system’s notification, Ling Chen couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

In just a short time, he had gained another 30,000 Shock Points. Clearly, the news of the “Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Passing Over Blackstone City” was beginning to spread. For quite some time, this event would continue to generate a steady stream of Shock Points for Ling Chen.

Though, how many people would actually be able to connect it to the Mythic Era—that remained unknown.

………

Night had fallen. In Blackstone City, within the City Lord’s Mansion, inside the study room. Governor Liu Zheng sat behind his desk, frequently glancing toward the doorway, his expression deeply solemn.

As the administrative head of Blackstone Prefecture, he had naturally attended the grand assembly earlier that day. Beneath the vast sky, he—like everyone else—had witnessed the astonishing phenomenon of the “Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.”

The nine enormous dragon corpses stretched across the void like iron walls, emanating an aura of sheer terror and tragic intensity. And then there was the bronze coffin, vast enough to blot out the heavens, its surface engraved with intricate, mysterious Daoist runes. Just a single glance at it invoked a sense of ancient desolation and boundless time. All of it had left Liu Zheng profoundly shaken.

But unlike the others, his thoughts were more meticulous and far-reaching.

Where had the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin come from?

From which era?

And what—or who—was buried inside that bronze coffin?

There were far too many unanswered questions. The only clue he had in hand were the black grains of sand that had scattered from the bronze coffin. So the first thing he did upon returning to the City Lord’s Mansion was to summon the most renowned appraiser in Blackstone City to identify the origin of those mysterious black sands.

Perhaps from these black sand grains, he could uncover some truths. If he truly discovered something, whether he reported it to the family or to the court, it would be a great merit!

At this thought, Liu Zheng became even more nervous, glancing toward the door with increasing frequency. The agony of waiting was almost suffocating.

“Sir, the appraisal results are in.”

Suddenly, a guard stepped in from outside and announced loudly.

Liu Zheng jumped to his feet and asked anxiously, “What’s the result?”

The guard didn’t answer but instead stepped aside to make way. An elderly man with white hair then walked in, his face filled with shock and fear.

This man was Cui Yi, the most renowned appraiser in Blackstone City, and quite famous across the entire Chixiao Divine Dynasty. Even Liu Zheng always treated him with the utmost respect.

Seeing this elder arrive in person, Liu Zheng couldn’t help being surprised and asked, “Elder Cui, what’s the result of the appraisal?”

Cui Yi seemed to have rushed over, his breathing still unsettled. But he didn’t care about that, and gasped out, “Governor Liu… s-something major has happened!”
