Chapter 405 The Humanitarian Stele
Chapter 405 The Humanitarian Monument
The stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor stood alone on the mountaintop, without any surrounding stars or other treasures as burial objects.
At first glance, the stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor appears to be nothing more than an ordinary coffin.
It's hard to imagine that inside this seemingly ordinary stone coffin lies the remains of a great figure who was influential throughout history.
Even Lin Fei himself couldn't believe that the remains of the True Martial Emperor truly existed inside this stone coffin.
It's hard to imagine anyone threatening the life of a supreme figure like Zhenwu the Great.
It's important to know that, in terms of cultivation, the True Martial Emperor was second only to a handful of figures in ancient times, such as the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Buddha Tathagata of Buddhism, and the Three Saints of Kunlun. He was even above the Three Ancient Sovereigns that Lin Fei had once met.
The three ancient emperors died simply because they were utterly despondent and sought death themselves. Otherwise, probably no one could have threatened their lives.
Not to mention the True Martial Emperor, who was even more powerful than the Three Sovereigns of antiquity. Even the cataclysm of the fall of the gods in ancient times would probably have been difficult to threaten the life of the True Martial Emperor.
Therefore, the closer Lin Fei got to the stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor, the more uneasy he became—because he didn't know what exactly was inside the stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor.
Not only Lin Fei, but also the spirit tortoise and the black snake took the initiative to appear behind Lin Fei and followed him toward the stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor.
As mythical beasts under the command of Emperor Zhenwu, they have followed him since ancient times, and naturally they are more concerned about Emperor Zhenwu's safety than anyone else.
……
As Lin Fei approached the stone coffin of the True Martial Emperor, the Black Serpent urged impatiently, "Boy, quickly open the stone coffin and see what the Emperor left inside!"
The Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle also didn't believe that the stone coffin truly contained the remains of the True Martial Emperor. However, they would have to wait and see what was inside before making a decision. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Although they didn't believe that such a powerful figure as the True Martial Emperor could have truly perished, nothing in this world is absolute, and no one can predict what might happen.
Even though the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle were mythical beasts under the command of the True Martial Emperor, they dared not open the stone coffin left behind by him without authorization. Only Lin Fei, as the successor of the True Martial Emperor, had the right to open the coffin himself.
Hearing Xuan She's urging, Lin Fei didn't waste any more words, nodded, and pushed open the stone coffin in front of him.
The weight of the stone coffin was similar to that of an ordinary stone coffin, and it did not appear to be any extraordinary treasure.
Just as the stone coffin was pushed open a crack, a beam of white light suddenly shot out from the coffin, heading straight for Lin Fei's face with lightning speed.
"Be careful, kid!" No one knew what this white light was, whether it was a mechanism left by the True Martial Emperor to prevent anyone from opening his coffin without permission. The spirit of the Black Serpent, seeing the white light shoot out, hurriedly shouted a warning to Lin Fei.
However, by the time the spirit of the Xuan Snake spoke up to warn him, it was already too late. Although Lin Fei reacted in time, the speed of the white light was simply too fast. Lin Fei only had time to turn his head slightly before the white light struck his face.
Fortunately, the white light did not seem to be a dangerous device. After hitting Lin Fei's face, it did not cause him any damage, but passed directly through his body and shot into the sky.
Even so, Lin Fei was still terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. If it were some kind of deadly trap or hidden weapon, with the True Martial Emperor's abilities, Lin Fei would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Lin Fei let out a long breath before looking into the stone coffin.
There was no remains of the True Martial Emperor inside the stone coffin; instead, there was only a stone tablet placed inside.
This stone tablet is the last of the Six Paths of Reincarnation stone tablets—the Humanity Stone Tablet.
"The remains of the True Martial Emperor are indeed not here!" Lin Fei thought to himself as he looked at the empty stone coffin.
As he had predicted, there was no remains of the True Martial Emperor inside the stone coffin. This was perfectly normal; how could a supreme figure like the True Martial Emperor die so easily? Even the most powerful figures of ancient times would likely have found it extremely difficult to take the True Martial Emperor's life.
Just as the stone coffin was opened, a light gradually shone on the Humanity Stele inside. With the appearance of this light, an ethereal figure slowly emerged from inside the stone coffin.
This wasn't the first time Lin Fei had seen the figure that emerged from the stone coffin. He had seen it once before when he obtained the first Reincarnation Stone Tablet—this person was none other than the projection of the True Martial Emperor, the owner of the True Six Paths Reincarnation Stone Tablet!
Upon reaching the Earth Immortal realm, one can project their avatar into countless minor worlds. Although the True Martial Emperor's true body is nowhere to be found, he left behind an avatar projection inside this stone coffin.
Upon seeing the appearance of the True Martial Emperor's avatar, the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle were extremely excited and quickly bowed to the True Martial Emperor, saying, "Black Serpent and Spirit Turtle greet Your Majesty!"
The True Martial Emperor's avatar glanced at them and smiled slightly, "Oh, it's the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle. You've finally arrived! It seems you've completed my orders?"
As he spoke, he turned to Lin Fei and said, "So it was you who obtained the inheritance of my Six Paths Avatar Technique?"
Although the other party was merely an avatar, Lin Fei still dared not be disrespectful in the face of this ancient emperor. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed because this junior has the honor of receiving Your Majesty's Six Paths Avatar Technique!"
"Not bad, not bad!" The True Martial Emperor's clone looked Lin Fei up and down, a smile appearing on his face. He nodded with great satisfaction and said, "He cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism, and possesses the True Dragon Origin Qi, which is the sign of a supreme ruler. For this emperor, he is indeed a good successor!"
The True Martial Emperor's insight was indeed remarkable; with just a glance at Lin Fei, he had almost completely discerned Lin Fei's trump cards. And this was merely a projection of the True Martial Emperor's avatar; if it were his true form, who knows how powerful it would be.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As a powerful ancient being with profound cultivation, he must have possessed countless avatars. Each of these avatars is a relatively independent entity, and their memories are not shared. Even though Lin Fei had previously seen another avatar of the True Martial Emperor, the avatar before him had no memory of meeting Lin Fei.
