Remnant Pages

He didn't know why, but the aura coming out of the stone coffin made Nie Li feel familiar to it.

Ripples of energy were coming out at in all directions. It must have been some expert's un-dissipated soul force.

Soul force was a kind of eternal energy. Even after thousands of years, it could still be attached to a particular object, preserving it.

This stone coffin was made from pieces of stone board that were combined together. It didn't have any trace of being opened before. Maybe even the experts from the Ancient Orchid City hadn't been able to open it.

Nie Li felt the soul realm within his body surging. The roaring sound of a dragon from the depths of his soul realm became clearer and clearer. He took a step towards the coffin. Seeing the mysterious inscription on the stone coffin, an idea flashed across his mind. He placed his right hand on the stone coffin lid.

Suddenly, a pillar of light shot into the sky. The light began to flow on the top of the stone coffin.

Boom!

That powerful pillar of light bombarded Nie Li's body.

"Urghh!" Nie Li felt as though all the bones in his body were coming apart. Even Nie Li, who had a tenacious will power, could not endure this terrible pain.

The light was like tens of millions of needles that fiercely pierced into Nie Li's body.

His soul realm felt as though it was about to burst.

From a good distance away, Ye Ziyun would occasionally look over in Nie Li's direction. Upon hearing Nie Li's painful roar, she began to panic.

'What happened? What's wrong with Nie Li?' Ye Ziyun thought, hastily running towards Nie Li. However, just when she reached about five to six meters away from Nie Li, *peng* a powerful, repelling force bounced her away.

She could not get close to that stone coffin!

But how was Nie Li able to enter?

Ye Ziyun was shot by a few white lights and ended up with several injuries on her body, covered in blood. However, she did not bother about the pain on her body. She retrieved a Silver ranked long sword from her interspatial ring and swung it towards the restriction around the stone coffin.

Boom!

Ye Ziyun was, once again, repelled. This force wasn't something she could deal with, just the dispersed white light caused her to have injuries all over her body. How serious would it be for Nie Li who was standing in the middle of that white light? After being repelled two times in a row by the restriction force, Ye Ziyun's soul realm was jolted. Her internal organs also suffered serious injuries. Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

'Nie Li, nothing must happen to you,' A last thought flashed across Ye Ziyun's mind as she fainted.

At this moment, within the white light, Nie Li's body was emitting steam. The severe pain caused his whole body to be covered in sweat. When the sweat came in contact with the white light, it would instantly evaporate and become steam.

"Thirsty!" exclaimed Nie Li, feeling like all the water within his body was going to evaporate.

He struggled desperately. He knew that if he were to slightly relax his consciousness, he would be destroyed by the white light.

Boom boom boom!

Nie Li's soul realm jolted and splitted nonstop. However, it was also healing and repairing nonstop at the same time.

His soul force formed a vortex like a huge whale, and was swallowing the white light nonstop.

Nie Li, with what was his last bit of consciousness left, tightly guarded his soul realm. At this moment, even he had deep doubts. Just what, exactly, was the thing in his soul realm?

'Heck if I care, since it can absorb this white light, then absorb it!'

Nie Li used his last bit of energy to operate his soul realm and frantically absorbed all the white light within it.

Boom boom boom!

The white light continuously entered Nie Li's soul realm, however, the white light did not cause any ripples in the soul realm and disappeared.

Nie Li felt that, although the white light had disappeared without a trace in his soul realm, it had still expanded Nie Li's soul realm a little.

The violent soul force caused his muscles to become stronger, the impurities within his skin were also excreted with sweat. Nie Li's physical body felt as though it had undergone some remodeling.

"Roar!"

Nie Li violently roared. Although, the difference between his current cultivation and his cultivation from his previous life was still enourmous, the feeling of having his power enhanced was still quite good.

After opening his eyes, the scenery in front of him gradually became clear.

Nie Li immediately took out bottles of water from his interspartial ring and began drinking them. The skin which was dried up due to the lack of water immediately, mysteriously became moist again. At this moment, Nie Li was even more handsome than before.

Looking in front of him, he could see the stone coffin disassembling nonstop and the coffin lid slowly opening.

Nie Li thought that what he would see would be a decomposed corpse, because this coffin didn't seem to have been opened before, however, what caused Nie Li to feel surprised was that the inside of the coffin was actually empty.

'How is this possible?'

Nie Li thought he was seeing it wrongly, however the inside of this stone coffin was indeed empty. It did not have any corpse inside, nor did it have any trace of a corpse having been stored inside. The bottom of the coffin was smooth, without any debris.

If the corpse had been fully decomposed, it should, at least, leave behind some bones.

At the bottom of the stone coffin sat two things.

One was a piece of remnant page, and the other was a gemstone pendant.

Nie li didn't know what material this remnant page was made of. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, and was even a bit transparent. It had dense and difficult text written on it.

If others saw this piece of remnant page, they definitely would not know what it was used for. However, when Nie Li saw this remnant page, he felt as though he was struck by lightning. His expression turned sluggish. In his previous life, he was way too familiar with this thing.

This was a remnant page from the Temporal Demon Spirit Book!

How could he forget? It was because of this Temporal Demon Spirit Book that he had become so powerful. And he even had stayed within the space of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book for hundreds of years and obtained that vast amount of knowledge of his there. It was also this book that was drenched in fresh blood during his battle with the Sage Emperor and had brought him back.

The mysterious thing within his soul realm was also probably related to the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.

However, the Temporal Demon Spirit Book in the past was incomplete.

There were eight pages within the Temporal Demon Spirit Book that had been ripped out. Nie Li had never seen what the Temporal Demon Spirit Book looked like when it was complete.

Because of the words in the Temporal Demon Spirit Book being too cryptic, Nie Li had never understood it. Whenever he tried to memorize the words on it, after a few hours, he would find out that he no longer had any impression of the words in his brain.

In his previous life, Nie Li had tried to look for the other eight remnant pages. However, in the end, he had not found any clue about them. He had never imagined that, after his rebirth, he would actually find a remnant page of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book here.

Unfortunately, the Temporal Demon Spirit Book was not in his possession. He had to repeat his previous life. Travel towards the endless desert and into the desert palace. Only then could he get that Temporal Demon Spirit Book.

Nie Li wondered, 'Would the Temporal Demon Spirit Book undergo any changes after having one more page?'

Nie Li placed the remnant page of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book closely against his chest. His soul realm seemed to have sensed the Temporal Demon Spirit Book remnant page, and began to surge. It was the same as in his previous life, the remnant page was the same as the Temporal Demon Spirit Book. It has the effect of nourishing the soul realm.

Nie Li's gaze fell onto the gemstone pendant. His face showed a hint of astonishment.

"It's actually a piece of abstruse gemstone! This is a rare thing!" Nie Li exclaimed excitedly. Even Legend rank Ye Mo probably had not seen an abstruse gemstone before. Abstruse gemstone was actually an ancient treasure!

However, even though the abstruse gemstone may have been extremely rare, it was still too ordinary compared to the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.

"This abstruse gemstone should be good gift for Ye Ziyun!" Nie Li thought, smiling away. With the deep feelings he had for Ye Ziyun, even if he were to give the remnant page to Ye Ziyun, he would not hesitate. However, the Temporal Demon Spirit Book was useless to Ye Ziyun. But this abstruse gemstone pendant was very helpful for practice. With this abstruse gemstone necklace, Ye Ziyun's cultivating speed would be enhanced by at least 3 times.

As for why a remnant page from the Temporal Demon Spirit Book would appear here, this still left some doubt in Nie Li. Since the stone coffin was empty, this also meant that Emperor Kong Ming wasn't here. But where would he go to?

This matter still had plenty of mysteries.

Nie Li had taken the two things. When he turned around, he found out that Ye Ziyun was lying down on the ground.

"What's wrong with Ziyun?" Nie Li asked himself. With surprise in his heart, he immediately leaped towards Ye Ziyun.

Landing beside Ye Ziyun, Nie Li found multiple burn wounds on her body. Her chest, arms, and thighs had a few deep wounds. Nie Li hastily placed his hand over Ye Ziyun's wrist and sent his soul force into Ye Ziyun's body. Only after he found out that Ye Ziyun was fine did he sigh in relief.

Seeing the heavily injured and uncounscious Ye Ziyun, Nie Li could not help feeling touched. It must have been from when she had heard his shout and had wanted to save him. However, she had been unable to get close to the stone coffin, and had probably tried to forcefully enter but was injured by the restriction force.

These burn marks should have been left behind by that white light.

Seeing Ye Ziyun's current look, Nie Li felt full of pity for her in his heart. He hung that abstruse gemstone pendant onto Ye Ziyun's neck. A deep blue light emitted out from the abstruse gemstone, shimmering on Ye Ziyun's wounds, making the burn wounds a little better.

"Excessive bleeding! I need to treat the few big wounds immediately!" Nie Li went silent. Seeing Ye Ziyun's elegant cheeks, after thinking for awhile, he decided he couldn't bother too much. At most, Ye Ziyun would only misunderstand him. It was better than leaving the wounds untreated.

Nie Li squatted down, and slowly began to undo Ye Ziyun's clothes. Ye Ziyun's shoulders and arms were revealed in front of Nie Li. Ye Ziyun's chest was tied with a purple ribbon, giving her a sense of elegance.

Comparing Ye Ziyun's twin peaks with how they were in his past, they were not as rich, however, they had a kind of lovely look to them.

After removing Ye Ziyun's clothes, Nie Li moved his gaze and focused himself on the wounds on Ye Ziyun's body. He retrieved a bottle of ointment that was used to treat wounds from his interspatial ring and slowly smeared it on the wounds.

After smearing the ointment, the wounds gradually stopped bleeding.
