Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li knew that finding treasures in the Forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountains would be much easier with Xue Lin, because her Heavenly Eye of Chaos could see through all things. However, it did consume a lot of Spirit energy.
Xue Lin’s face became pale. She could no longer use the Heavenly Eye of Chaos for five hours.
With Xue Lin’s help, Qingfeng Li had successfully found the flaws in the black coffin. He pressed his finger on the spot Xue Lin told him about, then he channeled the vital essence in his body and slapped it down.
Kacha!
Only a loud noise could be heard. The lid on the black coffin automatically fell off, sliding off to the side as everything inside was exposed.
Qingfeng Li was happy and quickly looked inside.
Inside the black coffin, there was a lifelike body. That body was like a living person’s, well preserved in its appearance with dark hair, a white face, a tall nose and a slender figure.
If he was alive, he would definitely be a big handsome man. Even as a dead man, he still emitted a charming aura.
When Qingfeng Li saw what was inside the coffin, he became startled because he thought he saw a living person.
However, Qingfeng Li exuded his spirit energy and carefully sensed the aura of the body. There was no trace of life in this handsome man. His heart was no longer beating, and he wasn’t breathing. He was a completely dead person.
One could only tell that this person used to be a saint level master, since he used a cultivation technique before dying to perfectly preserve his body.
“Senior, I inadvertently opened your coffin. Please forgive me. I am only taking a few pieces of treasure. I will not damage your body.” Qingfeng Li took a step back, bowed to the handsome man in the coffin and made three respectful bows.
Qingfeng Li found out from Black Puppy that the person in the black coffin was the Black Lotus Saint from the ancient era.
Although the Black Lotus Saint was a demon boss, he could cultivate to the level of saint. This proved that he was of course very talented and powerful.
Now that Qingfeng Li had opened his coffin. He felt a little bit guilty. Even if he was a demon boss, he still showed his respect and guilt before bowing to him.
“Dear, come and look quickly. There are lots of spiritual treasures, cultivation techniquesm and other treasures inside it,” Xue Lin pointed to the black coffin and shouted to Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li came over and looked inside the black coffin with Xue Lin by his side.
Countless treasures were seen inside of the coffin, with two cultivation techniques placed at the very front. One cultivation technique was the Black Lotus Saint Chant, the other cultivation technique was the Ferris Holy Punch.
In addition to these two cultivation techniques, it was surrounded by a lot of sacred level vitality stones.
These vitality stones were very strong, only saint level masters could refine it. If someone who was in the spirit emperor realm refined these vitality stones and absorbed the energy inside, they could breakthrough to the spirit supreme realm.
If someone who was in the spirit supreme realm refined these vitality stone, they could breakthrough to the spirit royal realm.
“These vitality stones are all very precious. They are Saint Grade. Too bad I cannot use them.” Qingfeng Li sighed with a heartful of regret.
Qingfeng Li was refining fire-element vital essence and the refinement was an orthodox practice of self-cultivation. The cultivation techniques in the coffin were powerful but they were demonic in nature.
Although those vitality stones were Saint Grade, they were also demonic vitality stones. It contained billowing devilish energy, only a self-cultivator of demonic dao would be able to refine it. It was not suitable for someone like Qingfeng Li.
Xue Lin was happy at first, then she got disappointed afterwards and sighed.
They forgot the most important thing. Even though there were a lot treasures in the coffin, most of it were demonic treasures. It was not much use to orthodox self-cultivators like himself.
“There’s a map here. You quickly come take a look,” Xue Lin suddenly moved her slender hand, pointed to the coffin’s rearmost corner and said.
After hearing the words of Xue Lin, Qingfeng Li looked down at where her fingers were pointing at. In the utmost corner, she found a black broken map.
This map was not large in size. It was about twenty centimeters long, and the scroll was made of sheepskin.
The map depicted a lot of geographic landmarks such as mountains, mountains ranges, trees, and roads. There was a red indicator, where the arrow pointed to a mysterious place afar.
While Qingfeng Li was grabbing the map, he accidentally touched the body of the man inside the coffin.
Puchi!
Only a loud bashing sound could be heard, and the handsome man’s body began to erode as that beautiful skin turned into rough skin.
Xue Lin was shocked to see this scene and subconsciously took a step back.
Women were born to be innocent and timid. Even when Xue Lin awakened the Phoenix Bloodline from her previous life, she was still scared to witness such terrible and horrifying scene. She got scared and turned pale, her body couldn’t help but begin trembling.
Qingfeng Li was also startled and took a step backward. He held out his hand and patted Xue Lin on the shoulder to comfort her, so she would not be afraid.
Qingfeng Li naturally wanted to protect Xue Lin and would not let anything frighten his wife. He took a step forward, reaching out his right hand and touching the weathered skin.
Qingfeng Li realized that it was human skin. There was no skeletal muscle, no internal organs. It was just human skin filled with air.
When Qingfeng Li touched it, he accidentally put a small hole on the skin. All the gas leaked out from the inside and it finally restored to its original appearance.
“Saint moulting.” Qingfeng Li suddenly thought of a terrifying legend.
Qingfeng Li once read a book which was a book about the ancient era. It was given to him by the Dark Night Emperor.
That ancient era book described many secrets of the ancient continents, such as orthodox, devilish and demonic, ghosts, immortals, unorthodox and all kinds of Daos. The secrets of different racial denominations.
Some people from the Devilish Dao refined something called Peeling demon boss Magic. Legend said that some devilish sages preserved their souls when they died.
However, if they died unwillingly, they would refine the legendary demonic technique of moulting. They would leave their outer skin and take their soul to find another body to be reborn, to a new place to continue cultivating.
This was similar to those saints of the demonic dao that had gained another life, allowing them to become a few hundred years younger to learn even more powerful cultivation techniques.
Eventually they could even cultivate to the level of a demonic immortal, dominating the heavens and earth.
Of course, that was just a legend. Qingfeng Li used to regard it as a legend. Now it seemed to be true because Qingfeng Li did not find the dead body in this black coffin.
He had only found the outer skin of the Black Lotus Saint. His newborn body and soul had already disappeared.
Qingfeng Li was just wondering how come this black coffin had so little protection when it belonged to an ancient era devilish saint. Now it seemed that the rest of the legendary treasures and cultivation techniques were definitely taken away by the demonic-dao saint after he was reborn.
