In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Otherwise, who knows the meaning and symbolism of the red spider lily?

"Boss Lei, Chief Chen, go and take a look at the Queen Mother of the West inside the coffin. Does she look just like the princess?"

what?

Not only Lei Laowu and Chen Jiuzhong, but even Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

"Sir?"

"The princess is fine; this is just to verify a hypothesis. Open the coffin!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the Thirteen Protectors of the Unloading Ridge stepped forward, curious whether it was as Zhang Xiaoshan had said.

If what Zhang Xiaoshan said is true, then what is this guess?

Only Lei Laowu, who clearly understood the power of the meteorite copper, vaguely guessed something, because Zhang Xiaoshan had said that there was a hidden illusionary world inside the meteorite copper jade pendant.

As Zhang Xiaoshan had mentioned before, a bronze gate possesses power no less than that of a jade pendant.

Long! Long! Long···

As the coffin was opened, what appeared before everyone was a lifelike portrait of a stunningly beautiful woman, as if she had just been buried—

Princess Taiping!

For a moment, the people around the coffin looked at the stunning beauty before them, and then at Princess Taiping beside Zhang Xiaoshan, as if they were dreaming!

Could Princess Taiping be the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West?

"Young master, it's exactly the same. We should be trapped in an illusion, like character 293. But..."

Suddenly, Lei Laowu's figure shot up and flew down.

Beside the coffin, a member of the Unloading Ridge Guard who couldn't dodge in time was pulled into the coffin by a pair of slender, delicate hands.

With a ferocious roar and a bloodcurdling scream, a chilling scream followed.

alive?

Moreover, one can imagine what kind of cruel scene unfolded inside.

Even Chen Jiuzhong and the other bodyguards, disregarding their grief, stared in horror at the peerless beauty who had been resurrected inside the bronze coffin.

"Master?!"

Isn't this an illusion? But what kind of reality sent a chill down Lei Laowu's spine.

"I know, we'll talk about it later."

Immediately, a golden light and shadow flashed, and a bronze-armored warrior stood on the altar, blocking the resurrected Queen Mother of the West.

Bang!

With just one punch, the newly resurrected Queen Mother of the West was slammed onto the altar, prostrating herself on the ground.

With her overwhelming power, the Queen Mother of the West was utterly powerless against the bronze-armored warrior.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then their probing gazes turned to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to have known beforehand that the Queen Mother of the West in the story was Princess Taiping.

"This is not the real world; most of what we see is an illusion."

Even though Zhang possessed the Dragon Ball and thought he could break through the illusion here, he was still trapped in an illusion, and it was Zhang's own illusionary world.

what?

Chen Jiuzhong and Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief, as if they were listening to a foreign language.

Only Lei Laowu had experienced the illusion of the underground chamber once; compared to that, this place was many times more terrifying.

"And the 'Princess Taiping' above is also fake, based on the appearance of women in our society; and the other shore flower, how could such a thing exist in the time of the Queen Mother of the West?"

The fact that everything had gone too smoothly along the way made Zhang suspicious.

Chapter 442 The Crystal Ice Coffin Resurrected

"Young Master Zhang, what is the Illusionary World? Is this place even fake?"

Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Xiaoshan; everything was too strange.

Even Chen Jiuzhong and Tulong Daoren, who had traveled all over the country and seen a lot, were still terrified by what they saw.

"Truth and falsehood are all woven together by the mysterious forces here."

Break it for me! "

Zhang Xiaoshan summoned the Dragon Ball and forcibly activated its power to break through the illusion before him.

As a surge of heaven and earth power, like a powerful force, swept through, causing the space to tremble, it was the power of the Dragon Pearl that swept through, and everyone immediately felt a change before their eyes.

The altar is still an altar, but it has undergone tremendous changes.

The original spider lilies disappeared, and the 'Princess Taiping's' camouflage faded, turning her into a desiccated warrior, similar to the monster seen in the first level.

As for the magnificent surroundings, they have become eerie and strange. This is the real tomb chamber. Just now it was like a royal palace!

Above the altar hung a huge and imposing crystal coffin, ten feet wide and twenty feet long, with four bronze chains, each a foot wide, connecting its four corners.

In an instant, everyone's eyes showed shock.

This bizarre change is not only baffling, but also awe-inspiring because of the sheer size and suspended nature of the crystal coffin.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound of something being smashed rang out; the mummified corpse above had been completely killed by the bronze-armored warrior.

No one was surprised by this. Although the resurrection of the mummified corpse was unbelievable to them, they had never seen a corpse come back to life, even though they had been stealing tombs for most of their lives.

But the bronze-armored warriors are even more terrifying!

Invulnerable to blades and spears, possessing immense strength, he is comparable to a Grandmaster even without the power of the Dragon Balls.

"Young master, this time it should be for real, right?"

"The illusion has been dispelled by the Dragon Balls, but the person inside shouldn't be the Queen Mother of the West, but rather the Mysterious Woman!"

"The Mysterious Woman?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in confusion. Such a huge and luxurious crystal coffin, yet it didn't contain the Queen Mother of the West?

"Even if the Queen Mother of the West's secret to immortality didn't grant her immortality, she wouldn't be lying here. The one lying here must be the Queen Mother of the West's confidante—the Mysterious Woman!"

As Zhang Xiaoshan spoke, he suddenly looked down, condensed a burst of energy in one hand, and unleashed it!

Wow!

Just as a huge, ferocious snake head emerged from the water, it was met with an incomparably powerful blade strike that cleaved Mount Hua in two, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble.

boom!

Waves surged on the water's surface, and the snake's head was repelled by the terrifying Heavenly Strike.

For a moment, the curious crowd was filled with fear again. They hadn't expected there to be such a terrifying giant snake here. Could it be that the scene of Zhang Xiaoshan killing the giant snake earlier was also fake?

Wow! Wow!

Suddenly, two divine dragons emerged from the water in a surprise attack, and Zhang Xiaoshan once again unleashed a burst of sword energy.

Gathering the power of heaven and earth, with wind and thunder concealed within the blade's aura, even without the Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand, the Xuan Turtle Spirit Weapon in Zhang Xiaoshan's hands at this moment possessed a blade aura no less intense than the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

The two snake heads that rushed out immediately sensed an inexplicable danger.

Because of the domineering power of the ninth move of the Dragon Slayer Saber, it completely counters the venom of these long worm-like creatures.

Sky-Piercing Dragon Slayer!

In an instant, the blade energy, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, with its all-destroying sharpness, directly repelled the two snake heads.

Pfft!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the snake's head fell into the water.

Another double-dragon snake!

"This isn't a two-headed snake? And what happened just now wasn't a two-headed snake either?"

Suddenly Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, startling everyone. But Princess Taiping still noticed that these were three large snakes, not two-headed snakes.

"Indeed, the princess is calm and saw through the truth at a glance!"

Let’s go up and take a look!”

Zhang Xiaoshan leaped up and landed on the bronze chains.

Then Princess Taiping, Lei Laowu, and Chen Jiuzhong stood in a corner, looking curiously at the crystal coffin above.

Although the crystal coffin appeared thick, it was crystal clear, like pure glass, allowing them to clearly see the sleeping beauty inside. Her beauty was breathtaking, unlike anyone they had ever seen before, thus ruling out the possibility of it being an illusion.

"What an absolutely beautiful woman! She must be the Queen Mother of the West!"

The crowd gazed at the otherworldly beauty inside, dressed in a long white gown and adorned with a golden hairpin amidst her spiky hair—a breathtaking scene reminiscent of a painting of a crabapple tree in spring slumber—and couldn't help but sigh in awe.

As for why it's not the Queen Mother of the West?

The Queen Mother of the West in the mural was the ruler of the Queen Mother of the West Kingdom; she was far more ethereal and otherworldly than depicted in the mural.

"Young master, would you like to open it?"

Lei Laowu looked at Zhang Xiaoshan. They were no ordinary people, and they could not bring themselves to defile this stunning beauty who resembled a fairy from the heavens, nor could they disturb her slumber.

"She's alive. Let her out; perhaps she can learn about the Queen Mother of the West!"

"A living person?!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, everyone looked at him in disbelief.

But Zhang Xiaoshan did not explain. The moment he approached the crystal coffin, he felt the fluctuations of the meteorite copper inside. Coupled with the extremely cold aura emanating from the crystal coffin, how could he not understand the purpose of the crystal coffin?

Just like when he was sea fishing, the extreme cold Qi could keep the fish fresh.

As long as the temperature is below absolute zero, a person can also maintain a state of suspended animation, and it is not uncommon for people in later generations to have tried this.

In cases where the disease is incurable, freezing and refrigeration can be chosen, with the patient expected to awaken 20 to 30 years later.

"Young master, are you joking?"

"Do you think Zhang is joking?"

Although it sounds fantastical, as long as the temperature inside is low enough, reaching absolute zero—the coldest point in the northern ice fields—the body can remain intact and may even be revived.

Zhang Xiaoshan slowly opened the crystal coffin, and a chill immediately swept over him.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the chains was at least a top-tier expert, they might have frozen solid and fallen to the ground as a pile of broken pieces!

"Why is it so cold?"

You wouldn't know until you opened it; the moment you opened it, even Princess Taiping shuddered.

In an instant, everyone thought of Zhang Xiaoshan's guess. Could it be true?

"This is related to the liquid at the bottom of the crystal coffin, which should be similar to liquid nitrogen."

"Alright, everyone come up here. I'll release this liquid, and then I'll use the Dragon Balls to wake her up!"

Upon hearing that Zhang Xiaoshan truly intended to revive the woman before them, everyone was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

This is a true story of someone who came back from the dead, a figure from over two thousand years ago.

As the people below came up one by one, Zhang Xiaoshan directly struck with his palm, shattering the crystal at the bottom.

A terrifying chill filled the entire secret chamber, instantly freezing even the golden water around the altar. Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp.

What kind of water is this? And why is the temperature so low?

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the woman in the crystal coffin, activated the Dragon Pearl above her, and then a crimson light enveloped the woman, hazy and swirling with purple energy!

Everyone looked at the Dragon Ball, seeing it up close for the first time.

There are many versions of the Dragon Ball legend, and the one attributed to Zhang Xiaoshan is said to be something only Zhang Xiaoshan can control.

As the core of the Wu Tang Empire, and also the Nine Gates of Ghost Street, everyone knew the truth of this news.

Ordinary people cannot control the Dragon Balls without meteorite copper.
