Han Ye sighed. Qin Xuan looked around at the skeletons. After making sure there was nothing else on them, Qin Xuan nodded.
Then he looked at the other skeletons nearby.
"Nan Xiangzi......."
"Guo Huai......."
Qin Xuan's gaze swept over the skeletons. Almost without exception, these skeletons had carved their names somewhere on the stone coffin.
From these writings, texts from the Middle Ages to the recent ancient times were all present here.
"It seems these people range from the Middle Ages to the recent ancient times. But how did they die here?"
Qin Xuan looked at these skeletons strangely.
In his opinion, the original owners of these remains should have been quite strong.
But even these strong individuals died here, which couldn't help but make him suspicious.
What exactly was inside this stone coffin that could make so many people rush here one after another?
They even left their lives here.
This made Qin Xuan very confused.
Even if there was something good in this stone coffin, it shouldn't be worth losing one's life, right?
Qin Xuan frowned in confusion, then he looked at the stone coffin.
Evidently, what was inside this stone coffin was far from simple.
Did the contents of the stone coffin kill so many people?
Qin Xuan frowned, looking at the stone coffin.
There must be something good in this stone coffin.
Not to mention anything else, even from this distance, Qin Xuan could sense a large amount of Taihuang Aura emanating from the stone coffin from time to time.
This Taihuang Aura permeated the surroundings, and Qin Xuan could easily sense it.
At this moment, this Taihuang Aura was constantly moving around Qin Xuan, and the Taihuang Aura around Qin Xuan's body was also continuously resonating with it.
"What's going on?"
Qin Xuan frowned.
"They probably encountered danger because they tried to open the stone coffin rashly."
Han Ye suddenly spoke.
Open the stone coffin?
Qin Xuan's gaze swept around the stone coffin, and finally, his eyes fixed on several marks on the ground near the stone coffin.
Although countless years had passed, these marks remained clearly on the stone coffin.
"Someone among them must have tried to open the stone coffin and consequently met with misfortune. Out of helplessness, they chose to leave their names so that future generations could see."
Listening to Han Ye's words, Qin Xuan took a step back, feeling a little apprehensive.
This stone coffin was probably truly not simple.
"Should we leave now? This iron essence gate has always been open, so leaving shouldn't be a problem."
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
He was also very worried now, fearing that something might go wrong with Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Having come this far, how could I turn back? There's clearly something good inside this stone coffin; it would be a pity to miss out."
Thinking this, Qin Xuan took a deep breath and took out the Refining God Cauldron.
"Don't be afraid! Today, I also want to see what's inside this stone coffin!"
Qin Xuan said, taking out the Wu Feng Sword and prying it against the edge of the stone coffin with force!
"Whoosh!"
The stone coffin shook, and then, a Taihuang Aura, like a sharp sword, stabbed towards Qin Xuan, its speed so fast that it almost caught him off guard.
However, Qin Xuan had, after all, grasped the rudiments of the Yu Dao Secret Method, and he quickly pulled away before the Taihuang Aura could stab into his chest.
"Clang!"
The Taihuang Aura lunged forward, crashing heavily into the Refining God Cauldron.
If it were an ordinary artifact, the moment it was struck by the Taihuang Aura would be enough to render it useless.
But the Refining God Cauldron was an extraordinary divine artifact; it even contained its own Taihuang Space, so it naturally withstood this wave of attack.
Not only that, but a powerful suction force instantly generated within the Refining God Cauldron, immediately drawing in all of the Taihuang Aura.
"Buzz!"
The Refining God Cauldron vibrated, returning to Qin Xuan's front.
"What a good item!"
Even though Han Ye had seen the Refining God Cauldron many times, he couldn't help but praise it.
This Refining God Cauldron was simply too powerful.
This also gave him more confidence in Qin Xuan.
With the contact over this period, his mindset had changed.
If at first he was merely forced into it, now he had made up his mind to lend Qin Xuan a hand.
No other reason.
As the saying goes, when one achieves Dao, even their chickens and dogs Ascend.
From this period of interaction, he naturally saw that Qin Xuan was not someone who would turn his back on others.
Thus, he was naturally willing to help Qin Xuan.
As long as Qin Xuan could achieve great things in the future.
He would only gain more in the future.
"Whew!"
Exhaling, Qin Xuan also wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This thing was truly dangerous.
If he didn't have the Refining God Cauldron in his hand, he might really have been ambushed by this Taihuang Aura.
Looking at the surrounding skeletons, Qin Xuan felt lingering fear.
It seemed these people were all dealt with by this Taihuang Aura.
With the Refining God Cauldron, he could naturally block the Taihuang Aura, and even absorb it into the Medicine Cauldron.
"Next, it's time to open the coffin!"
Having blocked the Taihuang Aura, Qin Xuan continued to pick up the Wu Feng Sword and began to pry open the stone coffin.
After a while, the stone coffin was finally completely pried open.
The remaining Taihuang Aura continued to attack Qin Xuan.
However, with precautions in place, these Taihuang Aura were almost entirely swallowed by the Refining God Cauldron without causing any stir.
"Crack!"
Qin Xuan pried hard, lifting the stone coffin lid.
Pushing the coffin lid open with one palm, Qin Xuan looked inside the coffin.
The coffin was empty, containing a stone box.
At the very top of the stone box was a groove.
"This groove looks exactly like the outline of that jade pendant."
Thinking this, Qin Xuan took out the jade pendant he had obtained from the Burial Spirit Land.
Looking at the perfectly identical outline, Qin Xuan nodded.
"So that's how it is!"
No wonder so many Sects and forces sent people into the Burial Spirit Land to search for this jade pendant; it was meant to be used here.
Carefully taking out the jade pendant, Qin Xuan then cautiously placed it into the groove of the stone box.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the stone box sprang open, revealing its contents.
A chilling aura emanated from the stone box.
"This is......"
A sharp glint flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.
Inside the stone box was a map made of human skin.
The map was winding and intricate, looking very complex.
And at the very top of the map, an eye was drawn.
At this moment, Qin Xuan was staring at the eyeball on the map, deep in thought.
If it were an ordinary eyeball, he certainly wouldn't be so focused.
The reason he was staring intently at this eyeball was because it actually had two pupils!
"This is the visage of a Saint, born with double pupils!"
