NOVPUBChapter 643: Chapter 356 Unknown Space_1 Chapter 643: Chapter 356 Unknown Space_1 Immediately after, the four of them left the secret chamber and continued their search for the next one.
As chamber after chamber was opened, by the time they reached the ninth, the quartet finally encountered something different.
This secret chamber seemed to be a training room, quite spacious, and there, they discovered a skeleton.
The skeleton appeared tall and slender; its owner must have been of considerable stature in life.
Moreover, the skeleton was of a white jade color throughout, and in many places, it had turned pale gold.
Even devoid of any sign of life, the skeleton still emitted a faint but formidable pressure.
Upon encountering the skeleton, the group of four proceeded with utmost caution, daring not to let their guard down.
...
After all, in the Cultivation World, some experts, even after death, might still possess unknown methods.
If they were to be careless and become possessed, or attacked by any lingering traps, with their level of cultivation, they could very well fall here.
Realizing this, eager as they were to discover opportunities, they dared not approach hastily for fear of losing their lives.
Fortunately, after several cautious probes by Lin Tianfeng, the skeleton did not move, nor were there any signs of traps or hidden seals in the training room.
Seeing that the skeleton posed no danger, Lin Tianfeng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Big brother, the owner of this skeleton must have been at least a Golden Core Cultivator when alive, right?”
At this moment, Lin Tianhong couldn’t help but ask, looking at the skeleton before them.
Lin Tianfeng nodded slightly at this remark, then shared his own thoughts.
“In my opinion, the owner of this skeleton must have had at least a Late Stage Golden Core cultivation level when alive.”
“It might even be possible that they were a Nascent Soul Cultivator!” 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
“A Nascent Soul Cultivator? Really?”
Lin Tianhong seemed somewhat incredulous, muttering to himself in disbelief.
In fact, Lin Tianhong’s shock was not unwarranted; the guess was incredibly startling.
Bearing in mind that the entire Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World did not have even a single Nascent Soul Cultivator, and even across the vast expanse of Qingzhou or the Nine Provinces Continent, Nascent Soul Cultivators were top-tier powerhouses.
And yet, this seemingly random Cave Mansion Ruins they were exploring might just be the abode of a Nascent Soul Expert, which was inconceivable.
Hearing Lin Tianhong’s words, Sun Ling’er, standing beside him, gently smiled and explained while pointing at the skeleton.
“Daoist Tianfeng’s guess is quite plausible; judging by the weathered condition of these facilities, this cave mansion has existed for at least tens of thousands of years.”
“This skeleton has turned the color of white jade, which can only be achieved by Golden Core Cultivators’ bodies.
“After all these years, the skeleton still glistens radiantly, retaining the formidable pressure of a mighty being, and it’s even begun to turn a golden-yellow.”
“So, this person’s cultivation level was at least Late Stage Golden Core, and perhaps even that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.”
Hearing Sun Ling’er’s explanation, Lin Tianfeng nodded in agreement, deeply impressed by her insight.
Seeing both attest to this, Lin Tianhong’s face lit up with excitement, thinking that if this person was indeed a Nascent Soul Cultivator in life, then their fortune would naturally be immense. For Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them, even a tiny bit of the treasures left behind would be a Heaven-Defying Treasure.
Understanding this, Lin Tianhong couldn’t help but urge, “Big brother, since this person was so powerful in life, there must be many treasures. Let’s hurry and look for them!”
Hearing these words, Lin Tianfeng and Sun Ling’er, without further delay, each took out several Second Order Defense Talismans and held them in their hands.
After ensuring they hadn’t missed anything, they exchanged a smile and continued to approach.
Soon, the four of them reached the front of the skeleton and began searching meticulously.
Unfortunately, aside from finding some remnants of treasures’ past glory, they found no treasures left behind.
Seeing this, Lin Tianhong’s face showed disappointment, and he couldn’t help but complain, “How could such a powerful person have left nothing behind?”
Meanwhile, Lin Tianfeng ignored his complaint and was intently studying a Jade Token sitting beneath the skeleton, appearing contemplative.
The Jade Token’s color was strikingly similar to the skeleton, and it clung closely to it, easy to overlook without a careful inspection.
Quickly noticing Lin Tianfeng’s lack of action, Sun Ling’er followed his gaze and also spotted the Jade Token.
“What’s this?”
Her eyes dancing with curiosity, Sun Ling’er pointed at the token and said, “This might be the only thing left behind; it must have some special significance!”
At this, Lin Tianhong came back to his senses and nodded to Sun Ling’er, saying, “Fairy Sun, let’s pick up this item and take a closer look!”
“Yes… be careful, Daoist Tianfeng!” replied Sun Ling’er.
Seeing no objections from Sun Ling’er, Lin Tianfeng did not tarry and approached swiftly. With the speed of lightning, he took the Jade Token from beneath the skeleton in his hand.
His movements were quick, and clutching the Jade Token caused no reaction from the skeleton, much to their relief.
“Big brother, have you discovered anything about the Jade Token?”
Lin Tianhong, unable to quell his impatience, urged him on.
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng began to closely examine the Jade Token.
The material of the Jade Token was unknown, resembling the skeleton but slightly rougher in texture; it was covered with numerous intricate, fine talismanic inscriptions, indicating it could be a defensive artifact.
However, that was all; there was no information about the skeleton’s identity, nor any clue to how it might be activated.
