The coffin is not my resting place. It is my weapon.
I was once Jiang Yuanwu, Marquis of Zhenbei, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Betrayed and sealed inside a bronze coffin in the Kunlong Mountains, I awoke five years later as a half-man, half-coffin monster: gold for bones, a coffin for a heart, and the nail in my brow both a shackle binding my remnant soul and the weapon with which I would pierce the heavens!
They drained the souls and blood of my former subordinates and refined my closest friend's remains into a puppet. Worse, they locked Linglong, my only love and a star-fated princess of the former dynasty, in the Star-Picking Tower, forcing her to watch the stars night after night and use her destiny to prolong this sham dynasty's life! They even refined my daughter Ye Xiaoguo, born with a Pure Yin body, into a "human fruit" to sustain the nation's fortune!
My body may rot and my Nascent Soul core may shatter, but I, Jiang Yuanwu, still have a breath of defiance and a coffin that can't be smashed!
Today, I break out of my coffin. With this coffin nail, I'll pierce the dragon vein, shatter the throne, and nail the false Heavenly Dao to its own seat! I'll save my daughter and free my beloved, and show this decaying dynasty that...
Supreme Immortals of the Celestial Court? The laws of the Profound Emperor? They're nothing but firewood for me to rebuild the stairway to heaven and reunite with my family!
I came from a coffin, and here beneath the nine heavens, I'll open a new path to life for my family and all living beings!
Very imaginative!!!
