I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Outside the secret territory.

A burly monk, as strong as a bull, arrived before Master Xingfeng with four companions.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xin Kui."

Xin Kui nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xin Yuan, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Mingming brought nine junior brothers to the secret realm to explore opportunities, so why is Mingming alone now?

and.

Judging from Xin Yuan's appearance, he seems to be injured.

"Master, why did you summon me here in such a hurry?"

"Xin Yuan and the others encountered trouble in the secret realm. Except for Xin Yuan, everyone else died in the secret realm."

"Um?"

Xin Kui raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on Xin Yuan.

Xin Yuan looked guilty. "It's all because my junior brother's cultivation is too weak that that villain found an opportunity!"

"What's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it."

Master Xingfeng remained expressionless and said slowly, "Now do you understand why I summoned you here?"

"clear."

"After you six enter the secret realm, exploring for opportunities is secondary; finding the person who killed your junior brother is the priority."

Master Xingfeng said coldly, "You must make him understand what price he will pay for killing a disciple of my Mingfeng Temple!"

"Yes."

"Go."

……

Behind the altar was a desolate place.

Judging from the remaining stone slabs on the ground, it is highly likely that this was a road leading to other places.

The two walked slowly along the stone-paved road, wary of a cultivator suddenly appearing and catching them off guard.

"You're saying this is some kind of ruin left behind after the destruction of a celestial sect?"

"Who can say for sure?"

Su Wuchen shook his head.

Since the land of eternal life suddenly disappeared 300,000 years ago, most immortal cultivation sects have vanished without a trace.

Even the surviving immortal cultivation sects have lost their top experts, leaving only some insignificant juniors to manage the situation.

But the turmoil did not spare them. Forbidden areas emerged, and countless strange and ominous things stirred up a storm in the human world.

The world was plunged into endless darkness.

The cultivators banded together for warmth and clung to life, while the lives of mortals were even less valuable than grass.

That was a chaotic era.

No one has ever experienced it.

Su Wuchen also acquired his knowledge from books.

All of this stems from people's exploration of secret realms and the conclusions drawn from that exploration.

"Judging from the state of these ruins, they should be a legitimate immortal sect. It's just a pity that our strength is too weak, so we can't get any more useful information."

"A legitimate immortal sect?"

Zhao Fei glanced sideways at him, "What respectable immortal cultivation sect would keep such an indestructible, weak brat?"

Su Wuchen: "..."

"Who says a legitimate immortal cultivation sect can't keep a ghost like this?"

"...?"

Faced with Su Wuchen's question, Zhao Fei couldn't help but show a strange expression.

like……

Is that what happened?

"Who can say for sure what happened hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Su Wuchen laughed and said, "Even if you summoned the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, they might not be able to understand the relationship between them, right?"

Zhao Fei remained silent.

"Let's keep searching and see if we can find anything good."

Su Wuchen said expectantly, "If we really find some kind of transmission hall, wouldn't we be able to take off instantly?"

That makes sense.

As the two chatted, a dark entrance suddenly appeared in front of them.

This entrance is strange; it's not visible from a distance, but you can only discover it when you get close. It turns out that the entrance leads directly underground.

"Shall we go down and take a look?"

"You go first."

"On what grounds?"

"You're already at the eighth-grade Great Perfection level, why aren't you in front? Are you expecting a weakling like me to be in front, Godfather?"

Faced with Zhao Fei's self-righteous reason, Su Wuchen silently took out a series of talismans from his storage bag and affixed them to his body.

This scene completely stunned Zhao Fei.

The Divine Travel Talisman.

Vajra Talisman.

Qi-gathering talisman...

Does this comparison seem to have brought the verification center here?

After getting ready, Su Wuchen walked toward the entrance with a serious expression.

"You..."

Zhao Fei considered his words for a moment, "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"exaggerate?"

"This isn't a game!"

"You can revive and revert to a previous save in a game, but you can't do that in real life!"

"..."

That makes a lot of sense.

Zhao Fei is a good student and a good role model.

The underground entrance was pitch black, and even with the torches lit by Su Wuchen and his companion, they still couldn't see the path ahead.

as if.

This passage can absorb all light, turning everything into darkness.

Gradually, airflow began to flow from the passage.

Light gradually appeared ahead, and a huge toad statue came into their view, seemingly growing out of the stone wall, or perhaps added later.

The toad opened its mouth, but instead of the esophagus that one would expect to pass through, there was a strange-looking creature inside.

The creature was tightly bound by the chains of the stone wall, becoming one with it.

"What is this?"

"Never seen it before."

"Isn't it in the book?"

"no."

"I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me."

"..."

Su Wuchen rolled his eyes, frowned as he looked at the statue in front of him, and then at the many white bones on the ground below.

Very strange.

There was only this one strange stone sculpture in this underground space.

But why are there so many skeletons?

Moreover, among these bones, Su Wuchen also discovered bones that clearly did not belong to humans!

Bang.

While Su Wuchen was still wondering, Zhao Fei had already jumped down, stood on the platform, looked up at the stone sculpture, and suddenly exclaimed with great joy, "Come quick, there's treasure!"

"Um?"

A chill ran down Su Wuchen's spine, making his scalp tingle instantly. "Don't go over there!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Fei turned around and saw Su Wuchen standing there with a look of terror on his face.

Gurgle.

Could it be...?

Su Wuchen nodded slowly.

Zhao Fei: "..."

Turn back?

No turning back?

run!

Zhao Fei turned and ran, but the talismans on his body shattered in that instant.

"The power of talismans..."

A deep voice echoed in the underground space.

Zhao Fei swallowed hard and looked down. The talismans that had covered his body had long since disappeared.

Perhaps, in that brief moment when he turned around, he would have been left behind.

"you……"

"What kind of monster is it?"

Zhao Fei was terrified.

The creature standing before them was one they had never seen before.

The body, resembling a python, had the upper body of a human. The head was somewhat normal, but it possessed three pairs of eyes.

"monster?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I have lived in this Great Ruins for thirty thousand years, and with a single cry I have slain countless powerful enemies. Now, in your eyes, I have become a monster?!"

"...?"

Looking at the monster laughing maniacally, Su Wuchen and his companion remained silent, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.

Thirty thousand years!

Could it be that the monster in front of us is an unparalleled powerhouse from before the destruction of the Abyss?

suddenly.

The monster's smile vanished, and it silently stared at Su Wuchen and his companion. "The laws of the immortal sects are incredibly powerful, yet you two are so ungrateful as to go and try to refine your bodies?"

"Body tempering?"

Su Wuchen felt a tickle on his head. "Ten thousand years ago, our ancestors discovered cultivation techniques from the secret realm and spread them to various places. There was such a saying back then."

"Ten thousand years ago? When did it branch out?"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

"The cultivation techniques of immortal sects are as numerous as the stars in the vast sky; why bother to branch out and spread them?"

"A body-refining expert is nothing but a brute; he's hardly fit for any great task..."

When the monster mentioned martial artists, it naturally revealed a strong sense of disdain, but then, as if remembering something, it changed its tune, saying, "Very few are capable of being put to use, and their training is extremely tedious!"

"You two noobs who haven't even scratched the surface, what are you even doing cultivating your bodies?!"
