In the depths of the underground palace, amidst the sun's fire essence, Ye Xuan, with the Fire Repelling Divine Bead on his head, leisurely strolled to Chi Song Zi's coffin.
Chi Song Zi's coffin was suspended in the air by the Flaming Spirit Vine and did not fall to the ground. Next to the Flaming Spirit Vine was an ancient tablet. The tablet was made entirely of bronze and was blessed with peerless dao marks. Even if it fell into the sun's fire essence, it would not melt.
This bronze tablet was very simple and heavy. On top of it were densely engraved characters. These characters were very special, they were actually the ancient bell cauldron script.
The bell cauldron script was actually called the golden script by modern world archaeologists. It originated from the Shang Dynasty and was often engraved on the bell cauldron, so it was called the bell cauldron script.
This was a type of script developed from the Oracle Bone Script. Compared to the Oracle Bone Script, the bell cauldron script was more complete and had more characters than the Oracle Bone Script.
When he was in Korea in the modern world, Ye Xuan often read some books when he was free. Among them, he had read some documents about Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhong Ding Script, Qin Zhuan Script, and so on. Besides, he had a photographic memory. Therefore, Zhong Ding Script was not a problem for him.
From this bronze tablet, Ye Xuan indeed saw the name left behind by the owner of the coffin. It was undoubtedly Chi Song Zi.
This was an ancient great divinity. His cultivation was unfathomable, but it was absolutely amazing. He was one of the most famous cultivators of the ancient times. It was said that even Shennong and the Yellow Emperor had asked him for guidance on the way of cultivation.
The bronze monument recorded Chi Song Zi's life. He was born in a distant ancient tribe, and obtaining the cultivation method was a fortuitous encounter. According to him, it might be related to the ancient Kunlun Lost Race. He used that cultivation method to cultivate, and after experiencing countless hardships, stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he finally succeeded in his cultivation.
However, after reaching grand completion, he found that the path to immortality was severed. Later on, he heard of the Earth Immortal Rong Cheng searching for the place of immortality. He once searched for Rong Cheng and obtained an incomplete map of the place of immortality. Unfortunately, the map he obtained was not complete. In the end, he regretted it for the rest of his life and died here.
Looking at Chi Song Zi's narration on the bronze stele, Ye Xuan could sense Chi Song Zi's sorrow from the handwriting before his death.
He spent his entire life cultivating and living for the sake of becoming an immortal. However, in the end, he only obtained a fragment of the map of the land of immortal ascension. He couldn't even see the true face of the land of immortal ascension. In the end, his lifespan was exhausted and he ascended to heaven.
Shaking his head, Ye Xuan looked at the bronze tablet. His eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he could clearly see that the words on the bronze tablet weren't limited to that. There were still some words buried under the soil and rocks.
With a wave of his right hand, the stone and soil covering the bronze tablet was swept away, revealing the words underneath.
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly when he glanced carefully at the soil and rocks that were covered, and he said in his heart, Even a top-rate ancient cultivator like Chi Song 'zi is full of tricks.
The reason why Ye Xuan thought this way was because the words covered by the soil and rocks contained the method to open the coffin. Only by feeding the spiritual vine with powerful blood essence, which had to be at least a King of the Severing Path or above, would the spiritual vine be able to put down the coffin. If the spiritual vine was forced to open the coffin, then unless a Saint personally came, even a Half-Saint would die a violent death.
However, Chi Song Zi didn't have any evil intentions in keeping this method. His main purpose was to deal with cultivators who had evil intentions. If the cultivator didn't use a divine ability to destroy the spiritual vine, then the spiritual vine would naturally not attack.
After reading the words on the bronze tablet, Ye Xuan stood in front of the spiritual vine. With his current cultivation, if he used force, he could naturally easily cut off the spiritual vine and open Chi Song Zi's coffin.
However, Ye Xuan didn't plan to do so because Chi Song Zi was an ancient cultivator and a senior cultivator. Moreover, since entering the tomb, he didn't encounter any truly dangerous places in the tomb.
It should be known that this was the tomb of at least an ancient Saint-level cultivator, and it was a tomb that he prepared before he died. Even an ordinary Marquis would set up hidden arrows and traps in their tombs after they died, but there was no danger in Chi Song Zi's tomb. This was truly unbelievable.
From this, it could be seen that Chi Song Zi was a true cultivator with a merciful heart. Even if he covered the last words on the bronze tablet, it was only to deal with those who had evil intentions.
Ye Xuan also had respect for such a true immortal. Even though he knew that Chi Song Zi was a Daoist, he didn't want to destroy his tomb.
Everyone had a bottom line and a persistence, and Ye Xuan's Daoist heart had always been the same.
Since he didn't want to destroy the tomb, he could only feed the Spirit Vine with his blood.
He stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and a dazzling divine light shot out from his fingertip. He gently cut his left index finger, and suddenly, a sharp Qi shot out, and a drop of blood flowed out.
This drop of blood was brilliant and dazzling, as if it was condensed from red clouds. As soon as it appeared, even the void trembled, exuding a sharp Qi and a terrifying vitality.
This was Ye Xuan's current blood. Every drop of blood contained his Dao, the laws of heaven and earth he comprehended, and also his lifetime of cultivation. Every drop of blood inherited his will. If it contained killing intent, a drop of blood was enough to suppress a Saint, and if it contained vitality, it was enough to prolong the life of a dying Saint and seize the creation of heaven and earth.
The reason for this was that he was not a person of this world. Not only did he come to the autonomous world, but he also achieved Dao in the macro worlds of "Swallowing the Star" and "Perfect World." Even in a world with incomplete Heavenly Way like "Perfect World," there was still a lot of Immortal Substance left in it. He, who achieved Dao in it, naturally absorbed a lot of such Immortal Substance.
Immortal Substance was a kind of fairy essence, a mysterious thing that could help cultivators live forever. Even in "Perfect World," the Heavenly Way was incomplete, but with the existence of Immortal Substance, masters of the Supreme Realm could live for millions of years or even longer, not to mention a more vast universe like "Swallowing the Star".
Although the world of "Shrouding the Heavens" was a continuation of "Perfect World," after the Ancient Chaos, the Heavenly Way had been shattered, and the Immortal Substance had dissipated, making it difficult to maintain the vitality of the Supreme Realm. This was why the lifespan of the Supreme Realm had been reduced since the Ancient Chaos, and in the end, they could only live for tens of thousands of years.
Compared with the endless years of the Immortal Ancient and the millions of years of the Ancient Chaos, the cultivators of this world were all sad.
Blood flowed out, and his wound quickly healed automatically. Then he flicked his finger, and the blood flew toward the Spirit Vine …
