In a cave.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud noise, Xuanyuan Hero jumped to the bottom of the cave.

Although it was dark here, two golden lights flowed in Xuanyuan Hero's eyes, allowing him to see clearly in this darkness.

What appeared in front of me was a bronze coffin.

However, the bronze coffin had been opened and all the contents inside were gone.

"I guessed it right."

"It seems that this place is indeed an ancient tomb."

Xuanyuan Hero looked around the cave and already made a decision in his heart.

The reliefs in the corridor, the altar and the bronze sacred tree in the grotto, as well as the coffins here all indicate that this place was a tomb a long time ago.

It's just that Xuanyuan Hero didn't know whether this ancient tomb originally belonged to the God's Tomb, or whether it was the evil demon who was the superior god of the God's Tomb and later took over it.

Xuanyuan Heroes prefers the latter.

Evil Nightmare claimed to be from the Sui Dynasty.

This ancient tomb is obviously in the style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and is much older than the period of the Nightmare.

"There are some murals here."

Xuanyuan Hero turned his gaze and looked at the surrounding stone walls.

There are many murals on the stone walls, although the paint on these murals has been severely faded and even peeled off a lot.

But Xuanyuan Hero can still roughly see the content above clearly.

The content described in these murals seems to be a follow-up to the reliefs in the previous section of the tomb corridor that was transformed into a sewer.

The sewer relief tells the story of six ancient wizards who used elixir to resurrect a god, but instead created a man-eating monster.

The content of the first mural in this cave tells that the wizards seemed to be aware of the serious side effects of the elixir, so they began to conduct more experiments and modifications.

Finally, they found a way to extract the elixir through a hollow bronze tree and a creature like an earthworm or a snake.

The content of the third mural is a person standing on the top of a bronze tree. One end of those weird snake-like creatures is connected to the bottom of the bronze tree, and the other end penetrates into the person's body along the bronze tree.

This seems to be the method of extracting the elixir, and the person at the top of the tree should be the carrier of the elixir like Guo Shasha.

The fourth mural depicts a bronze coffin in a large hole at the bottom of a bronze tree, with a wizard-looking man lying in the coffin.

And those snake-like creatures delivered some of the extracted medicine to the wizard's mouth.

The fifth mural is also the last one. It shows the wizard in the coffin sitting up and riding a dragon up to the sky. There are some gods in the sky to welcome his arrival.

This mural should be the wizard's vision and fantasy of his future ending.

After all, in many ancient tombs, the owner of the tomb will draw some pictures of becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven on his own ending, which indicates that the soul of the tomb owner has rested in peace.

After reading these murals, Xuanyuan Hero thought about everything.

"The ancient wizards discovered a way to extract and improve the elixir, so they began to test the medicine on their own bodies."

"Here is the tomb of one of the wizards. He was either dead or old and weak when he was lying in the coffin, so he needs the elixir to gain eternal life."

"But this process is destined to be long, so the wizards built this place into a tomb and sealed it."

"In the end, this place was acquired by the Tomb of Gods and occupied by the Nightmare."

"Of course it is also possible that those wizards themselves may be members of the Tomb of Gods."

Xuanyuan Hero thought for a while and came to the empty bronze coffin.

What happened to the wizard lying in the coffin on the mural?

Has he already obtained eternal life and left?

Or maybe he failed and turned into a pile of loess long ago.

All this seems to have become an unsolved mystery.

As for riding a dragon to ascend to heaven, that is simply a beautiful and unreal vision.

"Hey, there are words on this coffin."

When Xuanyuan Hero carefully examined the bronze coffin, he discovered that there were many inscriptions on it.

The characters above are ancient bronze inscriptions popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

There is also a certain amount of research on Bronze Inscriptions and Xuanyuan Heroes.

When he saw the gold inscriptions on it clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is……"

The content of this bronze inscription is a health-preserving method to extend life span.

What surprised Xuanyuan Yingxiong was that he had seen this content before!

Unknown medical classic!

There is also an identical record in the unknown medical classics that Xuanyuan Hero studied.

"Could it be that...the ancient wizards who developed the elixir of death have some connection with that unknown medical book?"

Xuanyuan Hero's unknown medical code came from what he obtained when he performed an important military mission.

At that time, Hero Xuanyuan needed to open up a secret passage deep behind enemy lines, so he explored a large cave underground that no one had ever set foot on.

It was in that underground cave that Hero Xuanyuan obtained the unknown medical code by chance.

By practicing the medical skills based on the unknown medical classics, Xuanyuan Hero acquired powerful abilities.

But now, Hero Xuanyuan actually saw a piece of content in an unknown medical book on the bronze coffin in the cave, which surprised Xuanyuan Hero.

"Let me see what else is there."

Xuanyuan Hero surrounded the bronze coffin and started looking again.

He continued to check some of the contents that he had just ignored, and even turned over the entire bronze coffin to prevent any oversights.

Soon, he began to understand in his heart.

"It turns out that the method of extending life on this bronze coffin went wrong in the later stages."

"Some people seek extreme methods to achieve eternal life, and end up going down the wrong path."

"No wonder Xuan Ming originally said that their method of tapping the human body's potential in the God's Tomb might be of the same origin as the method I used."

"Now it seems that Xuan Ming's idea was not unreasonable at first."

Xuanyuan Hero has been able to confirm that there is an inevitable connection between the unknown medical code and the wizard here.

But it's just like branches appearing within a school of thought.

Based on the unknown medical scriptures, the wizards here began to look for an extreme way to make people immortal.

So his theory broke away from the unknown medical classics and began to become extreme.

Maybe his theory was used by God's Tomb, or maybe he himself is a member of God's Tomb.

In order to achieve immortality, the God's Tomb adopts these methods found on the wizard's coffin.

Although they gained an immortal lifespan of thousands of years, they also turned into various monsters.

There are gains and losses, that's the way of heaven.

Xuanyuan Hero looked at the coffin and shook his head slightly.

At the very least, he would not let himself become a monster in order to gain immortality.

Xuanyuan Hero searched in the cave to see if there was anything else.

Soon, he made a new discovery.

I saw that there was actually a very long stone platform in the corner of the cave.

The stone platform is very beautifully carved, and there is a rusty bronze tripod in front of the stone platform.

And on the stone platform, there was actually the skeleton of a certain animal.

Xuanyuan Yingxiong stepped forward and took a look, his eyes gleaming slightly.
Chapter completed!
