Several mutilated corpses of cultivators were once unearthed from the ruins of Tianxing. Mysterious substances were extracted from their broken bones and hair, which have astonishing scientific research value.
Moreover, there is now a female cultivator here whose name is recorded on a jade slip. She was obviously a renowned powerhouse in that era, so they were naturally very tempted.
It should be known that cultivators are an absolute secret among various forces, and now this researcher has spoken of it without any hesitation, which shows his sincerity.
Moreover, cultivators are extremely mysterious, involving the mythological era, and possessing various incredible aspects; relics related to them are very difficult to find.
Any news about them, even in an era of rising martial arts, would still attract extraordinary attention from major organizations.
"Have you found that female cultivator?" the middle-aged man wearing white-rimmed glasses asked solemnly.
"Found it." The female researcher who had accompanied him into the cave answered the question with certainty, and at the same time she ordered someone to open the stone chamber ahead.
With a roar, the stone gate in front was slowly opened, and an inexplicable aura immediately spread out.
Wang Hao was extremely excited. The moment he opened the door, he believed what the female researcher had said.
The aura emanating from it was exactly the spiritual energy he needed. Although it wasn't as concentrated as the previous spirit stone, it was still quite good, at least dozens of times stronger than the outside world.
However, the next second, everyone's eyes widened, stunned by what they saw.
In front of them was a golden jade stone with a diameter of three meters. Its surface had been cut open to make a stone boat, and in the middle lay a young woman, lifelike, as if she had just fallen asleep.
The woman was exceptionally beautiful, with delicate, snow-white skin and glossy black hair. Her appearance was flawless and exceptionally beautiful.
Her figure was graceful and charming. Even though she was wearing a loose white Taoist robe, it was still impossible to hide her proud and upright breasts. She also had an otherworldly temperament that made people not have any evil thoughts.
"She's still alive?!" Chi Tu's expression was extremely solemn. His previously relaxed body began to tense up, and he felt incredibly nervous.
Although the woman kept her eyes closed and remained motionless, the faint aura she exuded made Chi Tu feel a sense of unease.
It was like a mouse encountering its natural enemy; the feeling made his hair stand on end, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and even cold sweat broke out.
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cultivation technique had already been quietly activated, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. However, the woman in front of him did indeed possess a powerful life force.
“That’s right, her body seems to still be alive!” The female researcher from Tianxing nodded solemnly.
The man with white-rimmed glasses asked seriously, "You mean there's still a chance she can come back to life?"
The government attaches great importance to this place. Anything related to longevity is a major issue. Not only do the financial tycoons of Tianxing care about it, but the same is true in the wasteland.
After all, this is the true home of humanity; Tianxing can only be considered a secondary settlement.
"It's impossible. She's been dead for thousands of years. There's no trace of her as a living human being. She's like a person in a vegetative state."
As one of the project leaders, Xia Xue knew better than anyone that this female cultivator had been dead for at least two thousand years. The only puzzling thing was that her physical body did not decay.
After testing and analysis, they unanimously concluded that this was related to the golden stone boat and her own mysterious power.
Xia Xue knew exactly what the officials were most concerned about, so before the middle-aged man could ask, she took the initiative to say, "According to the tests, her biological age before death was about twenty-two years old."
"So young?" The middle-aged man was startled. Being in a special department, he knew far more about Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin period than ordinary people. To become a top Qi cultivator in one's twenties was unheard of.
"To be precise, her twenties are just her physical active age..." Xia Xue explained earnestly, patiently answering all kinds of questions.
However, Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, staring at the female cultivator in front of him, and thought to himself, "This woman should have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, but her Nascent Soul is gone, while her physical body is still alive."
"It's a bit strange. Logically speaking, only those powerful beings who are close to immortals can achieve the feat of a god dying without his physical body being destroyed. Yet a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator can also have an incorruptible physical body."
Wang Hao was filled with doubt and unease, vaguely feeling that the female cultivator's nascent soul should still be there, only that it had left her physical body.
However, it is truly unbelievable that the nascent soul can remain incorrupt for thousands of years. Only someone with extremely powerful cultivation could achieve such a feat.
Xia Xue said, "We extracted a magical substance from the female cultivator's blood that can extend the lifespan of ordinary people by a certain amount."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man said solemnly, "Is what you said true? Have you ever tested it, or does it only exist in theory?"
"Yes, we have a very important client in Tianxing, who is also one of our investors. She provided 40% of the funding for this underground experimental site."
“We injected the active substance extracted from the nun’s blood into her skin. After more than a year of follow-up observation, we found that she, who was originally going to die, can now live for more than 20 years.”
Xia Xue's words shocked everyone. At most, a Heavenly Realm expert could only live for 250 years. Their time was truly running out.
But now, a life-extending substance has appeared. One can imagine that once this matter becomes known to the outside world, both Earth Realm and Heaven Realm experts will enter the world and even fight each other over it.
Wang Hao, who was standing to the side, also sighed, feeling sorry for the female cultivator. Regardless of whether she was dead or not, her body was now being used for experiments.
It should be understood that female cultivators value their chastity very much. Now that their bodies are being studied like this, if the Nascent Soul truly returns, it is conceivable that all those involved will be ruthlessly killed.
Wang Hao wasn't interested in their research. Instead, he quietly moved closer to the female cultivator, where the spiritual energy was more abundant.
But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint death energy around the female cultivator, but it was not the death aura of someone about to die.
It was a curse-like aura, somewhat similar to the Qi cultivator who was cursed to death by the Death God's Curse when we saw him in Mount Tai, but its origin was even more terrifying.
"First it was the Death Curse, and now it's the Curse of Death. Why are all these cultivators cursed? Who cursed them all to death?"
Wang Hao stood there, deep in thought. He felt that something terrible might have really happened in this universe, and that someone with such power and expertise in curses could be so powerful.
In his mind, there was only one person, the embodiment of slaughter, who was proficient in all kinds of spells and understood himself through curses and killing, and became the Death Immortal Venerable who suppressed a region of immortals.
