“A Grandmaster-level expert,” Zu An said gravely. “Even someone with such high cultivation died here. What’s more, he frequently entered and exited ancient tombs, so he had no shortage of experience or survival skills. What kind of being could kill him?”
As they spoke, they went to examine his remains, wanting to know the cause of his death.
Suddenly his gaze sharpened. He moved the entire skeleton aside, dug away the soil beneath, and took out a book. The cover appeared to be woven with gold threads.
The women were taken aback. In this place, even the bones had decayed, yet the book was still intact, which was obviously quite extraordinary.
"Huh, what does this say?" The girls were quite knowledgeable, but the shape of the characters was too strange, completely different from any known font.
Zu An's heart stirred. He was very familiar with this script, having seen it several times in the secret realm, as it was the ancient Chinese script, Small Seal Script, from his previous life.
With Mi Li as his teacher for so long, he can now recognize the Small Seal script with ease.
"The Subtle Elucidation of the Dripping Essence!"
When he read it aloud, the girls looked bewildered. What was he talking about?
Zuan opened the first page and found that in addition to the main text, there were some tiny characters written on it, which were obviously notes made by the owner of the skeleton before his death.
The gist is that he narrowly escaped death in a large tomb and obtained this book, but unfortunately he couldn't read the characters on it, which he deeply regretted.
However, he was also a prodigy. He managed to combine all his knowledge with his understanding of the meanings conveyed by some of the illustrations and even the strokes of the characters in the book. This was enough to make him far superior to his elders in the clan. From then on, he was always successful in finding tombs in the mountains.
He could even find Yuan Stone veins and various blessed lands and grotto-heavens, which gave him more resources for cultivation, so his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of his ancestors.
The more one tries to understand the hidden power within, the more frustrated they become about not being able to grasp the essence of the book, and so on...
"It really is the Ancestor of the Mountain-Penetrating Sect." Yu Yanlu noticed the signature at the end. The Ancestor of the Mountain-Penetrating Sect's signature had a claw mark on it, which was obviously the pendant that everyone had just snatched.
"It's a pity I don't know what this book is about. After the description by the Old Ancestor of the Mountain-Penetrating, I'm itching to read it myself," Yun Jianyue said with some regret.
Zu An looked at the title page of the book and slowly read aloud: "To understand the origin of the Three Elements and Ten Thousand Methods, first observe the Emperor's reign and divine achievements..."
