Soon.

After collecting the monkey blood, the nine of them controlled it using their true energy to stick close and cover their entire bodies as they entered the pa.s.sageway.

The entire process involved Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, and Bu Qing, and the others, wrapped in monkey blood as they walked through the pa.s.sageway that was paved with jade and piled with dismembered monkey corpses.

After turning a corner, they encountered another turn.

Before long, they turned another corner.

‘When the nine of them walked out of the pa.s.sageway of the Dragon Slaying Platform, they had made ten turns.

Without these vanguards, even Zhao Fengxian could not guarantee that he would be able to successfully pa.s.s through using force.

The journey was too long.

Fortunately, they finally pa.s.sed through it and found the entrance to the fourth level.

“Eh, what’s going on with this level?”

Lu Wuchang, who had removed the monkey blood around him, stopped in his tracks. He looked at the fourth level where there were only a few thick stone pillars and no other structures and fell into deep thought.

The first three levels each had a central hall.

But not the fourth level.

The entire s.p.a.ce was still s.p.a.cious and quiet.

Except for the nine thick stone pillars that stood at intervals.

‘There were no carvings on the stone pillars, nor were there any patterns on the ground or the dome.

The entire fourth level was empty and very strange.

“Marshal Lu, don’t you have very accurate intuition? Take a look at what’s going on here,” said Gu Zhanlin, raising his eyebrows at Lu Wuchang.

“Tm not a G.o.d. I won’t know everythin;

Lu Wuchang replied irritably, “Everyone knows how strange this place is. If you people don’t know, how would I?”

Other than Su Jingxing’s third-grade realm that was to be confirmed, the others were indeed true top-ranked experts.

‘The Hundred Flower Valley had a long history, and Zhao Fengxian was a first-grade great general.

However, the two of them still couldn’t see through this. They were filled with confusion about the fourth level.

“But…”

“But what? Do speak,” urged Gu Zhanlin.

“What’s the hurry?” Lu Wuchang rolled his eyes. “But there’s no danger here.”

“No danger? Are you sure?” Gu Zhanlin was suspicious.

“Why would I lie to you?” Lu Wuchang raised his eyebrows and walked ahead.

Under pa.s.sive circ.u.mstances, Lu Wuchang knew best if there were any dangers within a hundred meters.

He was full of confidence in his abilities.

Indeed.

Lu Wuchang walked through covered most of the s.p.a.ce of fourth level, but nothing happened.

Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi looked at each other. After consulting Zhao Fengxian,they followed behind and walked over.

Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, Huang Xinghai, Xia Zhilan, and the others were last.

A group of nine people walked through the silent fourth level.

Until they entered the fifth level.

Compared to the fourth level, the fifth level was even emptier.

The thick stone pillars were gone, there was only a center area where light appeared.

Silence, s.p.a.cious, and empty.

‘The group of nine kept their guard up as they approached the center area.

‘When they were close—

[1000-year Great Return Remains discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

‘As he responded, Su Jingxing’s eyes were filled with surprise.

1000 years!

The last time, Liu Chenglong’s corpse was only a hundred years old.

This time, he actually encountered the a thousand year old one.

Could it be.

“There’s someone there!”

Lu Wuchang, who was walking in front, suddenly exclaimed.

Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others moved very quickly. When they saw the target, their auras quickly spread and they got ready.

In this empty s.p.a.ce, a person sitting cross-legged appeared.

No matter who it was, they were filled with uncertainty.

“Dead.”

Zhao Fengxian stared at it and said in a low voice, “The other party is already dead, and he’s in the state of returning to his original state.”

Returning to the original state referred to the state where true essence leaves the body and covers the physical body. It was a state where a body would not be broken, dissolved, or dispersed for thousands of years.

Under this state, the physical body could be perfectly preserved, and the Corpse-raising Devil Insect wouldn’t be able to sense it.

‘When they came close to the light they saw earlier, they found that it was indeed emitted by this thousand-year-old corpse.

A thousand-year-old corpse had appeared on the fifth level.

No matter how one looked at it, there was something wrong!

“He… He can’t be the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, can he?”

Lu Wuchang stopped 20 meters away from the glowing old man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was shocked.

‘The reason why the old man was glowing was because his true essence was dissipating.

After a thousand years, his true essence had not dissipated completely. One could imagine how powerful the old man was when he was alive.

An expert among such experts could only be in the Transcendent-grade!

Yue Dongliu.

‘The Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.

‘There was a 99% chance that this old man was the Crimson Moon Martial Sage from a thousand years ago, Yue Dongliu.

They couldn’t be 100% sure because no one had seen Yue Dongliu’s appearance before.

Yue Dongliu had kept a low profile when he was alive, and no images were pa.s.sed down.

It had been a thousand years since then.

This place was also the legacy underground palace. Who else could the old man be other than Yue Dongliu?

As for the fact that even a Martial Sage would die.

‘There was nothing surprising about this. Martial Sages could at most live for 360 years.

‘When the time was up, no matter how indignant one was, one had to die.

Yet.

If the old man was really Yue Dongliu, then here’s the question!

Firstly, why was Yue Dongliu’s corpse here?

‘Wasn’t this the legacy underground palace? Why did Yue Dongliu leave his own corpse here?

He couldn’t possibly be leaving it for the person who obtained the legacy to dig a hole and bury it, right?

‘The corpse of a Martial Sage was extraordinary, but it was ultimately just a corpse.

If he really wanted to be buried, wouldn’t it be better to find a place where no one knew about?

If he were to stay here and wait for someone to collect his corpse, wasn’t he afraid that his corpse would be destroyed?

Secondly, the fifth level was too strange.

There were no stone pillars, no patterns, no strange paintings, nothing.

Gu Zhanlin, Fan Qi, Lu Wuchang, and Bu Qing spread out and surveyed the entire s.p.a.ce, but still found nothing.

Not even the entrance to the sixth level.

This meant that they had reached the end of the underground palace!

There were only five levels.

The nine of them were currently at the bottommost level, the fifth level.

However, apart from Yue Dongliu’s corpse, there was nothing else here.

Treasures?

Not a hair was seen.

Not to mention, the Crimson Moon legacy!

“Fake?”

Back in the central area, Lu Wuchang murmured, “There’s no legacy here at all. The so-called treasure left behind by a Martial Sage is just an empty palace.”

“That shouldn’t be the case,” Pu Mingyue muttered. “There’s nothing wrong with the legacy stone tablets, and there’s nothing wrong with the information pa.s.sed down. It can’t be fake.”

“Don’t tell me the legacy of the Martial Sage refers to the secrets in the three legacy stone tablets?” Gu Zhanlin asked in a low voice.

“That’s possible!” said Huang Xinghai, rubbing his chin in thought.

“Three legacy stone tablets?” Xia Zhilan pondered.

Su Jingxing said nothing.

Within his perception range, there was something strange in the fifth level.

It was an indescribable strangeness.

It didn’t seem like a deliberate misdirection where it was the oddity of a fake.

Instead, it revealed a trace of strange, burning, and dangerous strangeness!

“Tthink…”

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, Lu Wuchang, who was about to say something, shouted.

Swis.h.!.+

Ared light flashed past.

Something unexpected happened!
