But there was no ancient elixir as rumored.
Because compared to the immortals and gods, the human race at that time was actually not very good at refining elixirs.
Although King Zhou was very powerful, this kind of technical stuff cannot be used just by having great strength.
What's more, after he was named Tianxi God, he has always been a lonely man. There is still a huge gap between him and the four emperors of heaven in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, and he has no capable subordinates to help him make elixirs.
There was no elixir or magic weapon inside. There were only two clean finger bones and a piece of yellowed parchment quietly placed inside.
The two finger bones, one big and one small, one gold and one white, looked bright and aura-filled. As soon as the lid was opened, the surrounding spiritual energy spontaneously gathered and formed a cyclone of moderate size above the box.
The starlight floating around the Star Picking Platform also shone over, as if worshiping the two finger bones.
Even Jiang Li himself could not help but feel his hair stand on end. He felt two auras that completely suppressed him on those finger bones.
Especially that golden finger bone, which gave him a shocking feeling as if an emperor had descended. Just looking directly at the finger bone made his eyes sting and tears flow.
If Jiang Li guessed correctly, the original owner of these two finger bones should be the last human emperor and his queen.
These two phalanges are unexpectedly well preserved.
However, King Zhou did not try to preserve more things, which would have been impossible with the capabilities of the Zhaixing Tower.
Jiang Li swallowed his saliva and did not move the two phalanges. He had a hunch that these two phalanges would be useful, but not now.
He reached out and pulled out the folded yellow parchment next to it.
The parchment was spread out on a long table, on which were outlined with ink lines the mountains and swamps that Jiang Li had never seen before. The terrain was strange and varied, far from comparable to the current Kyushu continent.
This is also a map from ancient times.
The territory of this map is extremely large, and it seems to describe the entire territory of the Shang Dynasty.
Compared with it, the current human kingdoms are as far inferior as the bright moon compared to the stars.
Looking at the map, Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and took out the scroll he had obtained from behind the plaque in the Central Jade Palace.
Jiang Li had seen the scroll that was taken out from behind the plaque. It was also a map.
However, the scope of its description is too small, and the terrain of the Kyushu continent has changed too dramatically today. It is almost impossible to find the corresponding place based on the above information.
But if we have the large map of that year as a comparison, and then compare the large map with the current map of Kyushu continent, we may be able to find the specific location depicted on the scroll.
But as soon as the scroll was placed on the map, before he could compare it, it caught fire in Jiang Li's hand.
The flaming scroll fell onto the map, but instead of setting the only remaining map of the Shang Dynasty on fire, a few ancient flaming characters appeared on the top.
"If the human race is in trouble, they can look for the holy land of Fire Cloud Cave."
The address originally recorded on the scroll has also been marked on the large map.
The address above is Huoyun Cave? The Huoyun Cave where the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth and Man practiced in seclusion?
Jiang Li looked at the newly emerged mark and felt a little excited.
Huoyun Cave is a holy place for the human race. Even in ancient times, its status was no less than that of a saint's palace! If Jiang Li could really find Huoyun Cave and get something from it, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
King Zhou did not leave any magic weapons, elixirs or secret manuals at the top of the Star-Picking Terrace, but he did leave a way out for the human race.
This is probably the last bit of responsibility he has as the Emperor of Man.
Jiang Li folded the map and put it into the coffin together with the dragon-patterned jade box.
Then he was in no hurry to leave.
Now Jiang Li finally understood why the treasure hunting sites in those stories always had some inexplicable self-destruction mechanisms.
Because if we don't do this, the explorers will probably dig deep into the ground here to explore.
Everything here is a relic from ancient times. The fact that its appearance has remained intact after tens of thousands of years is enough to prove that its materials are of high quality.
First of all, this long table is very good, with exquisite workmanship and special materials. Move it away, move it away.
There are also flints on the steps, which are the legendary spiritual fires of heaven and earth of the human race. Jiang Li just happens to have two lampstands that he can take away to preserve the flint fire.
These nails also look promising. The metal material is still shiny and sharp. Even if you pull out a dozen of them, it should not affect the stability of the structure.
Oh, it was this tile that King Zhou stepped on and set himself on fire. It was soaked with the blood of the Human Emperor. If it hit him, the head made of Kunming Steel would have been split open on the spot.
If Emperor Xin knew that the outstanding descendant who could climb up the 4,000 steps of his Star-Picking Tower would be such a thing.
He will definitely set it up so that automatic teleportation is triggered immediately after picking up the item.
Instead of placing the golden light of transmission at the bottom of the building.
. . . .
Jiang Li happily received the legacy of the Human Emperor.
The underworld illusion and Fengdu ghost city above have already been really crazy.
The several forces that formed a group to attack Fengdu had no intention of letting those ghosts get the Nine Yang Boy and Nine Yin Girl.
If a ghost really absorbed the pair of baits and successfully ascended to a more terrifying existence, it would be a disaster for everyone in Fengdu City.
So after more than a dozen ghost kings fought for a long time, one ghost king finally defeated all the other ghost kings.
The monks who had been lying in ambush nearby immediately detonated the platform where the boy and girl were.
They had set a dangerous trap below. After a huge explosion, the flesh and bones of the boy and girl were instantly burned to ashes, leaving no trace of their souls.
The chance for promotion just slipped away right before their eyes. The dozen or so ghost kings were not fools. They were toyed with by human monks and beaten to death. In the end, they even blew up the young boys and girls!
This made the ghost kings more furious than ever before.
Regardless of the injuries caused by the internal fighting, they rushed straight to Fengdu Ghost City with the ghost energy in their arms, and ran into the human monks who were frantically searching for treasures inside and had not yet evacuated.
A war between humans and ghosts is bound to break out.
A large number of monks who were imagining a wonderful life in the future because they had snatched treasures suddenly encountered disaster.
In the energy tide generated by the collision between the Ghost King and the monks of the same level, the monks who did not have time to evacuate died in large numbers. Perhaps they did not even know what had happened until the moment before they died.
. . . .
A few days later, a golden light flashed, and Jiang Li appeared again in the tomb of the Fox Fairy outside Fengdu City.
This was probably a deliberate arrangement by King Zhou.
Entering from the underground palace and exiting from the fox tomb can ensure the safety of the inheritor to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, if he plunged into a pile of angry ghost kings, he, Jiang, would probably not even have anyone to collect his body.
In front of the stone statue of Daji, the fox demons from that time are still guarding here.
They were originally the descendants of the Nine-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu. After the Conferred Gods Battle that year, they were hated by everyone on the entire continent. Only a few of their bloodlines are still preserved in this Dusk Cave.
They feed on the meat ganoderma growing in tombs all year round. When they grow a little bigger, they start to breathe in and out Yin Qi to practice.
Over the years, it has transformed into the ghost fox it is today.
Jiang Li opened the coffin and put the foxes in. After all, they were famous spiritual beasts from ancient times. If they were trained well, they might be able to reproduce some of their former power.
He looked at the stone statue of Daji again, but ultimately decided not to move it.
Firstly, it is of little use, and secondly, King Zhou might do something to the tomb.
Judging from the previous situation in Zhaixing Tower, if the other party really wanted to harm Jiang Li and leave some tricks behind, he could actually do it.
Turning around and returning the same way, they saw some precious decorations scattered everywhere in the corridor of the tomb, which were the ones that Zhao Tiangang and his friends had carried with them in large and small bags before.
He also packed up all of them and took them away. Although these things were not necessities for the villagers, it never hurt to have more to trade or give away.
Being able to open up space in such a place, the Yin Burial Coffin really gave him great convenience.

When we returned to the exit of the tomb, the outside was already shrouded in thick fog.
Jiang Li had been in the Zhaixing Tower, climbing stairs and searching for loot, and several days had passed.
The illusion opened outside with the Three Lives Stone naturally collapsed on its own.
As long as Jiang Li goes out of this cave, he will be bounced back to the Ghost King Wasteland by the fog.
But as to where you will appear and whether you will run into a ghost king, that all depends on luck.
Whenever this happens, it is the turn of the sword cultivator's clone to appear.
The sword cultivator clone is the clone created by Jiang Li's first parallel consciousness. Among the four clones, he is the weakest, has a low health pool, and does not have many special abilities.
But his life was unexpectedly tough.
As early as in the underground ruins of the Black Lotus Sect, Jiang Li had thought that this clone was going to be scrapped.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better. Not only did the clone turn a disaster into a blessing, but he also opened a door to the power of the Asura world for him.
There were several more adventures afterwards, and each time he turned bad times into good times. Naturally, this time the important task of exploring the way would fall on him.
Jiang Li transformed into the root of the Jiuyou tree again, and swam upwards flexibly along the gaps between the rocks.
When exiting, release the clone in the coffin.
The sword cultivator's clone fell into the fog, just like a person who can't swim falling into the water and drowning.
The surrounding illusion space collapsed and threw the sword cultivator's clone out.
As soon as he left the illusion of the underworld, he fell from a high altitude. Fortunately, after leaving that haunted place, the storage magic weapon could be used again. The flying sword Zhuhong was unsheathed, and it landed safely on the ground with the sword cultivator's clone.
Fortunately, there were no powerful ghosts around and no monks were fighting.
Jiang Li deliberately stayed in the Star Picking Space for a few more days, partly because he wanted to wait for the situation outside to stabilize first.
Otherwise, if someone were to discover that he was carrying a treasure, there would probably be no place for him in the entire Eastern Region's cultivation world.
Or if he accidentally ran into a fight between the big guys, he didn't want to try to see how long his life would last.
Although the war has ended, the situation here is obviously much more tense than before the Battle of Fengdu.
The ground of the Ghost King Wasteland was littered with the corpses of human monks.
Around them, there are several teams of ghost soldiers patrolling nearby.
Obviously, the actions of several major forces have completely angered the Ghost King Wasteland. The war has extended all the way from the Netherworld Illusion to the outside.
Now, the entire Ghost King Wasteland regards the living as mortal enemies. Once they meet, they will not only fight to the death, but also eat flesh and drink blood. It is extremely vicious! Suddenly, they felt the spiritual energy emitted by the flying sword controlled by the sword cultivator's clone, and several teams of ghost soldiers immediately showed their ferocious appearance and swarmed up.
Several captains of the ghost soldiers all have the cultivation base of Ghost Pill level, and their strength is not weaker than Qin Shuman of the Seven Paths Ghost Market under Jiang Li.
If the clone unleashes its power, it is not impossible to defeat him. But if the clone uses the fire sword technique, it will inevitably alert ghosts in a larger area and the loss will outweigh the loss.
At this time, another person fell from the sky. He waved his hand and shot out nine black and white cold flames, which fell directly from the sky and landed on the heads of these ghost soldiers.
The cold flame of the ghost lantern touched them and burned the ghosts to ashes in a few breaths.
Some white bone magic weapons and several bone whistles also fell from them.
Those white bone magic weapons are okay, but these bone whistles are magic weapons for large-scale ghost forces to communicate with each other. Once the bone whistle is blown, thousands of troops will come to meet.
If they hadn't seen that only the sword cultivator's clone thought he could win and didn't blow the bone whistle, Jiang Li would have been in big trouble here.
It seems that even if I can win, I have to reduce the fighting as much as possible and get out quietly. Otherwise, if the ghost king is really summoned, I might have to join the enemy camp.
Doing so may allow them to suffer less after death.
But there were so many corpses in the wilderness that he couldn't handle it all.
Just when Jiang Li turned around and wanted to leave, an extremely subtle voice sounded from behind him.
"Save me!"
If it weren't for Jiang Li's amazing hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear this faint cry for help.
Jiang Li turned around and saw that the person who was crying for help was actually the one hanging on the wooden frame . She was actually still alive!
The female corpse, which had shown no sign of life just now, actually began to rise and fall slightly due to its leaking chest.
Wait, I've seen this guy before!
Jiang Li took a closer look and suddenly remembered that this person was the one he saw when he entered the city. She was the female cultivator from Qianhe Tower who was captured by the Fengdu ghost soldiers and hung on the city gate because she could not pay thirty years of ghost life.
The storage bag she dropped was picked up by the sword cultivator's clone and given to Lao Gui as a reward for sneaking into the city. Later, when Lao Gui fell into his hands, the storage bag returned to Jiang Li's hands.
But so many days have passed, and no one from Qianhe Tower came to rescue her?
Jiang Li felt a chill in his heart for the other person.
It is possible that the people in Qianhe Tower had no idea that she was captured by the Ghost Town. Another possibility is that Qianhe Tower was afraid of alerting the enemy and disrupting the operation, so they directly sacrificed this disciple instead of taking any rescue measures.
Jiang Li could roughly guess what happened to this female disciple later.
She used some secret method to survive for ten days in that situation. Then after the war broke out, major forces such as Qianhe Tower withdrew from Fengdu, and she fell into the hands of ghosts again.
Then, as an object of venting anger, he was hung here by the ghost soldiers.
This... What a desperate experience it must be.
