God-Like Extraction

p>Zhao Fengxian stared at it and said in a low voice, “The other party is already dead, and he’s in the state of returning to his original state.”
Returning to the original state referred to the state where true essence leaves the body and covers the physical body.
It was a state where a body would not be broken, dissolved, or dispersed for thousands of years.
Under this state, the physical body could be perfectly preserved, and the Corpse-raising Devil Insect wouldn’t be able to sense it.
‘When they came close to the light they saw earlier, they found that it was indeed emitted by this thousand-year-old corpse.
A thousand-year-old corpse had appeared on the fifth level.

No matter how one looked at it, there was something wrong!

“He… He can’t be the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, can he?”

Lu Wuchang stopped 20 meters away from the glowing old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.
He was shocked.

‘The reason why the old man was glowing was because his true essence was dissipating.

After a thousand years, his true essence had not dissipated completely.
One could imagine how powerful the old man was when he was alive.
An expert among such experts could only be in the Transcendent-grade!

Yue Dongliu.

‘The Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.

‘There was a 99% chance that this old man was the Crimson Moon Martial Sage from a thousand years ago, Yue Dongliu.
They couldn’t be 100% sure because no one had seen Yue Dongliu’s appearance before.

Yue Dongliu had kept a low profile when he was alive, and no images were passed down.

It had been a thousand years since then.

This place was also the legacy underground palace.
Who else could the old man be other than Yue Dongliu?

As for the fact that even a Martial Sage would die.

‘There was nothing surprising about this.
Martial Sages could at most live for 360 years.

‘When the time was up, no matter how indignant one was, one had to die.

Yet.

If the old man was really Yue Dongliu, then here’s the question!

Firstly, why was Yue Dongliu’s corpse here?

‘Wasn’t this the legacy underground palace? Why did Yue Dongliu leave his own corpse here?

He couldn’t possibly be leaving it for the person who obtained the legacy to dig a hole and bury it, right?

‘The corpse of a Martial Sage was extraordinary, but it was ultimately just a corpse.

If he really wanted to be buried, wouldn’t it be better to find a place where no one knew about?

If he were to stay here and wait for someone to collect his corpse, wasn’t he afraid that his corpse would be destroyed?
Secondly, the fifth level was too strange.

There were no stone pillars, no patterns, no strange paintings, nothing.

Gu Zhanlin, Fan Qi, Lu Wuchang, and Bu Qing spread out and surveyed the entire space, but still found nothing.

Not even the entrance to the sixth level.

This meant that they had reached the end of the underground palace!

There were only five levels.

The nine of them were currently at the bottommost level, the fifth level.

However, apart from Yue Dongliu’s corpse, there was nothing else here.

Treasures?

Not a hair was seen.

Not to mention, the Crimson Moon legacy!

“Fake?”

Back in the central area, Lu Wuchang murmured, “There’s no legacy here at all.
The so-called treasure left behind by a Martial Sage is just an empty palace.”
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Pu Mingyue muttered.
“There’s nothing wrong with the legacy stone tablets, and there’s nothing wrong with the information passed down.
It can’t be fake.”
“Don’t tell me the legacy of the Martial Sage refers to the secrets in the three legacy stone tablets?” Gu Zhanlin asked in a low voice.
“That’s possible!” said Huang Xinghai, rubbing his chin in thought.

“Three legacy stone tablets?” Xia Zhilan pondered.

Su Jingxing said nothing.

Within his perception range, there was something strange in the fifth level.

It was an indescribable strangeness.

It didn’t seem like a deliberate misdirection where it was the oddity of a fake.

Instead, it revealed a trace of strange, burning, and dangerous strangeness!

“Tthink…”

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, Lu Wuchang, who was about to say something, shouted.

Swish!

Ared light flashed past.

Something unexpected happened!
