Cultivation Online novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 - Flesh And Blood

Yuan and the other began looking around the room, but there really wasn't much there to look at besides the sealed demon and the six golden coffins.

After a few minutes of looking around, the grand elders gathered.

"Besides the founders' coffin, there isn't anything else for us to look at." Senior Hong said.

"But to disturb the founders' peace…"

"If we don't do it, that demon will kill everyone once it breaks out of the seal! I'm sure they'll understand."

"You got a point…"

The grand elders then bowed to the golden coffins.

"We deeply apologize for disturbing your peace, founders."

After apologizing to their founders, the grand elders went to their family's coffin.

Each of the coffins had one of the Six Spiritual Families' surnames engraved into it, so the grand elders knew which one belonged to their family.

Once they were prepared, they opened the coffin to take a look inside.

However, to their surprise, all of the coffins were empty.

There was nothing— not even signs of a body having ever existed inside these coffins, almost like it was empty since the beginning.

"Why are these coffins here if they're empty?" Senior Wang muttered out loud everyone's question.

"If our founders are not in here, where are their bodies?" Senior Hong asked afterward.

"Let's look around again to make sure that there aren't any hidden passages." _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Thus, the grand elders began around round of inspection.

Meanwhile, Yuan continued to analyze the demon statue with his divine sense.

He was fairly certain that the demon statue was actually a sealed demon, but he wasn't 100 percent confident.

"Brother Yuan, if the demon breaks out of its seal now, what are the chances of you defeating it?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a solemn tone, "None. I have no chance of defeating a demon in my current state."

And he added, "That's why I need to quickly learn the demon sealing technique."

"Are demons really that powerful besides their regenerative abilities?"

"Yes, they're incredibly powerful. They can turn their own blood into weapons, and their bodies are incredibly durable by themselves. However, that's not what I am most worried about."

"A single demon at the Spirit Warrior level can defeat an ordinary Spirit Master cultivator. If this sealed demon is above that level, which is very likely, I won't be able to defeat it even with the demon sealing technique."

"Wait… If even someone like you cannot defeat the demon, who else can do such a thing?" Meixiu asked.

Yuan is very likely the strongest cultivator in this world at the moment, and if someone like that cannot defeat the demon, what chances do the others have? Won't they just be sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered by this demon?

"Well… Since demons exist… I hope there's a demon sealing clan somewhere out there in this world." Yuan sighed.

"Demon sealing clans?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Yes, they're clans that specialize in sealing demons. They also exist in Cultivation Online."

Sometime later, the grand elders returned to Yuan with dispirited looks on their faces.

"I'm sorry, but this place is empty."

"Daoist Yuan, do you have any idea when the demon might break the seal?" Senior Wang asked him.

"Unfortunately, I do not."
