Upon closer inspection, the stone wall was not a smooth surface but rather adorned with murals. Li Ye and the two women could not decipher what the murals depicted, but Void Night felt a sudden jolt upon seeing them. Li Ye hurriedly asked Void Night what was going on, only to see Void Night trembling as he said, "Kid... we might have arrived at a... remarkable place... this... we are... in a gigantic... stone coffin!"
Li Ye's heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask, "Stone coffin? What does that mean?"
Void Night took a deep breath, suppressing his fear, and slowly explained, "The murals on this stone wall record an ancient ritual. This ritual and this stone coffin were considered legendary even in Laozi's time. Such techniques are only used when sacrificing to extremely powerful beings. And this stone coffin... is likely meant to sacrifice an incredibly terrifying existence."
Hearing this, Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen's expressions turned serious. Zhiruo asked, "So what do we do now? How can we leave here?"
Void Night forced a smile and said, "I... don't know!"
Li Ye angrily retorted in his mind, "How can you not know!"
Void Night impatiently smacked his lips and said, "How would I know! I told you that in Laozi's time this was considered legendary! Do you understand what legendary means? It means I've only heard of it but never seen it!"
Li Ye nodded and firmly said, "Alright then, let's explore further ahead."
The group cautiously navigated through the stone walls, observing the murals and their surroundings. As they ventured deeper, the air inside the coffin grew increasingly cold, sending chills down their spines. Void Night continuously interpreted the information from the murals and began explaining their content to everyone.
He whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, the people depicted in the murals worship an extremely evil being; this guy is an enemy of the world."
Void Night pointed to a section of the mural and said, "Look here, this part depicts how they worshipped this guy who burned, killed, and plundered without mercy. Yet his followers still fervently followed him."
He then pointed to another section of the mural and explained, "And this one shows how this guy cultivated a secret technique that was viewed as an enemy by all."
As he spoke, Void Night wanted to showcase his vast ancient knowledge and specifically pointed at the secret technique held by the figure in the mural saying, "You see this secret technique written in ancient script? It means 'Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique.'"
After saying this, Void Night pointed to another mural. Before he could speak, his eyes widened in shock as he turned back to the previous mural with his mouth agape and exclaimed, "Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique?!"
Void Night hurriedly re-examined all the murals within the stone coffin and awkwardly yet shockingly said, "So this stone coffin is actually for sacrificing Laozi? These guys worship Laozi?"
Li Ye and the two women were momentarily speechless. Zhiruo couldn't help but ask, "Then... Void Night, what exactly is your identity?"
Void Night sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "I wasn't always a good person. The Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique is a secret method passed down by me, capable of controlling corpses and reversing yin and yang. However, I acted flamboyantly and disliked those who preached righteousness while being hypocritical, which offended many people. In the end, I was sealed in this bell by the righteous forces of the world."
Yan Yuchen asked curiously, "Then why did these followers build a stone coffin here?"
Void Night shook his head helplessly. "They probably wanted to resurrect me and have me do something for them. But clearly, they failed."
Li Ye felt a chill in his heart and asked, "What should we do now? How can we leave here?"
Void Night looked at the complex runes and formations on the mural, raised an eyebrow disdainfully, and said, "Leaving here seems simple now. As long as I reveal the power of the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique as a catalyst, the power they sacrificed for me will merge into your body. Once you absorb all their sacrificial power, you can naturally leave."
Li Ye tightened his heart and asked, "Is this sacrificial power safe? Will it harm me?"
Void Night sighed and said to Li Ye, "Is it safe? What a stupid question! I don't know if it's fate that I'm meant to benefit you. Originally, I intended to possess you, but now you're just taking advantage of me and asking if it's safe?! However, I must remind you that absorbing this kind of sacrificial power is different from devouring other powers; it is infused with faith and the cycle of life and death while traversing time. You need to comprehend it well; it will be greatly beneficial!"
Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen showed worried expressions upon hearing this. Zhiruo asked, "Brother Ye, is this really okay?"
Li Ye nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, I trust Void Night."
As Void Night unleashed the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique as a catalyst, the runes inside the stone coffin resonated with his technique. Chilling blue lights emerged, transforming into strands of Ghost Orchid light that entwined around Li Ye. Li Ye sat cross-legged in meditation, but his consciousness was pulled into another ethereal blue space.
In that ethereal blue space, a group of people in black knelt before Li Ye, tears streaming down their faces as they fervently called out, "Welcome, Eternal Night King!"
A shock ran through Li Ye, feeling an immense power surge into his body. The faith and sacrificial power of these black-clad individuals carried strong emotions from the believers, leaving Li Ye somewhat at a loss.
The voice of Void Night echoed in Li Ye's consciousness: "Kid, this is the power of faith. These people are my sacrificing followers; their strength will help you break free from your shackles and gain even greater power."
Taking a deep breath, Li Ye silently vowed, "I will not let this power go to waste!"
As time passed, Li Ye gradually felt the power within him growing stronger. The strands of Ghost Orchid light seemed to possess endless energy, continuously nourishing his body and soul. Li Ye sensed his cultivation rapidly increasing to unprecedented heights.
At that moment, fragments of ancient memories surfaced in Li Ye's mind. He saw the past of Void Night, witnessed the creation and evolution of the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique, and also observed the enmity between Void Night and Soul Ripper.
The voice of Void Night echoed again, "Kid, remember these memories; they will help you better understand the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique."
Li Ye nodded, deeply engraving these memories in his heart. He understood that this was not only a boost in power but also a cleansing of the soul.
When Li Ye opened his eyes, the runes inside the stone coffin had dimmed, and the eerie blue light gradually faded away. He felt the power within him surging like a mighty river, flowing endlessly.
Void Night nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hey kid, not bad! You've initially grasped the essence of the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique. However, I warn you not to get too cocky; this is just the beginning. My Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique is far more than what you see now."
Li Ye stood up and bowed to Void Night, saying, "Thank you, Evil Spirit... oh no, Void Night!"
Void Night impatiently replied, "Alright kid, you've absorbed all the power here, so this stone coffin naturally becomes your magical artifact!"
Everyone was shocked and exclaimed in unison, "Huh?"
Void Night looked at the Two Women with a dumbfounded expression and then disdainfully at Li Ye in the sea of consciousness, saying, "What do you mean 'huh'? You look like you've never seen anything before. This thing was legendary in our time; how could it not be a good magical artifact?"
Zhiruo muttered softly, "So it's a good magical artifact just because you worship it?"
Void Night spat and said, "It's not that it becomes a good magical artifact just because you worship it; this thing was originally a good magical artifact that was transformed into a medium for worshiping me by my followers! Explaining this to you youngsters is pointless."
Void Night impatiently performed the Nine Nether Spirit Control Technique. A flash of Ghost Orchid light swept through as the entire stone coffin was absorbed into the sea of consciousness. Looking at the coffin within the sea of consciousness, Void Night muttered to himself, "Doesn't this thing seem a bit ominous?"
