C5 Two skeletons

In the darkness, he suddenly saw a bright light. Li Mu immediately became excited, endured the unbearable heat, and started to jog forward.

After a while, Li Mu neared the source of the red light, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was completely shocked, and was unable to react for a long while.

This was a vast cave, covering hundreds of meters wide. At the center of the cave, there was a pool of lava that was about ten meters wide.

The fiery red magma in the magma pool was bubbling, and the scorching hot wind was coming from within the magma pool.

The entire cave was filled with thick vines that were as thick as an adult's arm. These vines intertwined with each other, covering the entire cave, but they were not afraid of the high temperature emitted by the magma pool.

"Mm, what is that?"

Suddenly, Li Mu's eyes flashed, he realized that there was a fire red lotus growing in the magma.

The fiery-red lotus emanated a dazzling, crimson-red light. It was quite dazzling within the cave.

"To be able to grow within a magma pool, it must be some kind of rare natural treasure!"

Li Mu was secretly delighted in his heart. He took a whiff and a faint fragrance came from the lotus flower. Just after smelling it, Li Mu immediately felt refreshed, and his blood started to boil.

"It really is a heavenly material treasure. Just its fragrance alone has such an effect. Could it be that the heavens have pitied me and bestowed upon me such a heavenly material for my life?"

Li Mu was extremely excited as he slowly walked towards the lava pool.

"So hot!" As they got closer to the lava pool, Li Mu felt the temperature grow higher.

When he was still seven or eight meters away from the magma pool, Li Mu already felt that he somewhat couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't that his heart wasn't firm, but the temperature was too high, and it was unbearable for him.

"Is it possible that I, Li Mu, am so poor that I cannot even obtain heavenly resources in front of me!?" "Does the heavens really want me to die?"

Looking at the fiery-red lotus in the lava, Li Mu swallowed his saliva. At this moment, he truly wished that he could circulate his vitality. Although resisting the frightening temperature of the magma would not be easy, it was still possible for him to not be too close to the magma pool.

"Eh? What's that?"

In a trance, Li Mu discovered that there was a weak light that flashed past in the corner of the cave. It seemed that it was difficult to discover something because there were too many vines inside the cave.

Seeing the fiery-red lotus that was not far from him, but untouchable, Li Mu did not hesitate at all and decisively turned around to walk toward the direction of the reflecting light.

When he arrived at the place where the light was reflecting from, Li Mu removed the vines covering the outside of the cave. The light reflecting object appeared in his eyes, and was actually a dagger that was half buried in the rocks.

It was a foot long cold light dagger. Although he did not know how many years it had been here, its surface was still emitting a terrifying cold aura, its appearance was extremely sharp, and on the dagger, there were three ancient characters — — Zhan Qianqiu.

After fiddling with the dagger in his hand for a while, Li Mu muttered: "What big words, a dagger dares to take the name Zhan Qianqiu, how could there possibly be a divine weapon that can cut apart a thousand years of history?"

"Swoosh." With a crisp sound, Li Mu's dagger struck a scarlet vine that was as thick as an adult's arm that was on the ground.

What happened next made Li Mu's expression change slightly. The thick and sturdy vine was easily chopped apart by his dagger, and the cut was smooth and flat.

"This dagger..." "To think that it would be so sharp."

Looking at the dagger in his hand, Li Mu could not hide the excitement on his face. He once again waved the dagger to cut down a few thick vines, and the result made him sigh with emotion.

"I've picked up a treasure. Even the legendary weapons made from thousand year iron essence aren't as sharp as this!"

Curious, Li Mu stabbed the dagger into the stone wall with all his might. Something even more shocking happened, Zhan Qianqiu's dagger easily stabbed into the wall.

Looking at the dagger in his hand, Li Mu said emotionally: "It really is a treasure, I wonder what kind of material this Divine Weapon is made of, forget about how sharp it is, even after staying here for so many years, it still hasn't rusted at all."

"Hmm? "This is …" While playing with the dagger, Li Mu saw something underground from the corner of his eyes.

Under the urge of his curiosity, Li Mu waved the vine in his hand, quickly cleaning up the dense vines on the ground.

After the vines were cleared, what appeared before Li Mu's eyes were two skeletons that had already decayed for who knows how many years.

The two skeletons were completely decayed. Aside from a few pieces of torn clothing, there was nothing left of the carrion except for the bare bones.

Of the two skeletons, one was completely black, and the other had a shattered skeleton on its chest.

"Huh?" Very quickly, Li Mu noticed the abnormality, the two bones would occasionally flash with a faint treasure light, looking extremely strange.

"Rumor has it that the Essence within the bodies of those who have reached the Divine Abilities Realm is extremely dense and that their bones are constantly nourishing. Not only are the bones of those who have reached the Divine Abilities Realm incomparably hard, they even emit a precious light. Could it be that these two were actually experts of the Divine Abilities Realm before they died?"

Li Mu thought about the records he had unintentionally read in an ancient book and immediately became alarmed and uncertain.

"It shouldn't be wrong. If one isn't a divine ability expert and is unable to fly, how would they be able to reach this place? This place is tens of thousands of feet high cliffs; without the ability to fly, one cannot reach it!"

After considering it for a while, Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The possibility of the two corpses on the ground being at the Innate realm before they died was as high as 90%, after all, the probability of them falling down the cliff and being caught in the tornado was not high, even if it was really possible, it was impossible for them falling into the tornado at the same time.

"I didn't expect two experts of the sacred art realm to die here. This person's heart seemed to have been shattered by a single palm strike. As for the other person, he must have been poisoned with some sort of poison. Even his bones have turned black. It looks like the poison is not shallow …"

After looking carefully, Li Mu managed to guess the cause of death of the two.

"Hmm? "What is this?"

When Li Mu looked carefully, there was a flat rock under the jet-black bones, and there were even tiny words written on it. He wondered if it was a coincidence, that Zhan Qianqiu's dagger had been stabbed into this rock at the start.

Li Mu carefully pulled the stone out, it was a three foot square stone, of course, from Li Mu's point of view, the stone was more appropriate to be called a stone, because the stone was smooth, and was not naturally formed.

The three feet square stone board was densely covered with words, Li Mu's interest was piqued, and with the light of the magma, he started to read it carefully.

"My name is Yuan Jue, I am a rogue cultivator, because I was chased down by a demonic cultivator, Xian Li Tian Battle Group, and in the end, I barely beat him in half a move, causing him to be seriously injured. I did not expect that he would be poisoned, and after a fierce battle, he ended up killing the devil with his palm of great sorrow!"

"Although I have slain a devil, I am deeply poisoned. I know that my life is coming to an end, although I do not want to part with it, I have no regrets in this life. It is just that I cannot bear to accidentally obtain the buddhist arts.

Seeing this, Li Mu roughly understood the identities of the two skeletons. On the stone tablet, other than the small paragraph of text at the beginning, there was a piece of profound buddhist cultivation method Great Brahma Art at the end.

In addition, there were three profound buddhist martial skills, the palm of great sorrow, the river crossing step, and the dragon claw hand. These three martial skills, according to the Perception, actually belonged to the buddhist Seventy-Two Extreme.

was naturally familiar with the Buddhist Sect. It was rumored that there were 72 supreme techniques in the Buddhist Sect, and they were collectively known as the Buddhist Seventy-Two.

It was said that each of these Seventy-Two Extreme were supreme techniques, and were famous in their own domain. As long as a buddhist sect possessed a supreme technique, they would be able to look down on the other sect.

The higher the level, the more mysterious it was. It was said that all of the Buddhist Seventy-Two were Heaven Ranked Martial Technique s, and were extremely profound; to be able to see three types of Li Mu at one go was naturally incomparably shocking.

There had been countless legends regarding the Buddhist Sect since ancient times. Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, these were all honorifics of the Buddhist Sect.

There were many Buddhist sects in the Yuheng Continent. Although Li Mu had never been out of the Sunset Cloud City, he had seen quite a few records of it in the clan's precious ancient records.

"What a mysterious cultivation method, compared to my Li family's Universe Art, it is many times more mysterious. And these three types of martial skills are simply heaven defying, especially this river crossing step, it is actually said to be one of the top three movement techniques in the entire world!"

Looking at the records on the stone tablet, Li Mu was extremely excited, but when he thought about his current situation, he immediately became discouraged.

Right now, he had a life full of poison, and being trapped in this place, it was a huge problem whether he could leave or not. Even if he got his hands on the supreme technique, it would still be useless for him.

"According to what Monk Yuan Jue said, he should be that Xi Lin Tian. I wonder if he left anything behind?"

Li Mu walked to the side of Xi Li's Sky Corpse, and started to explore.

After a while, Li Mu stopped fumbling around with a bitter smile. Other than a bloodstained rag, he did not find anything else.

"It seems like this Xian Li Tian was killed by the Yuan Jue's palm. For him to be able to fight to the death against the Yuan Jue with three Heaven Ranked Martial Technique s, he must have a powerful technique."

Li Mu was disappointed, then threw the only bloody rag that he found to the ground.

"Hmm? Wrong... The two of them have died here for at least a thousand years, and their clothes, shoes and socks have all disappeared. This is reasonable, but why is this piece of rag still perfectly preserved? "

Throwing the rag away, Li Mu immediately felt that something was amiss, and immediately picked it up, examining it carefully.
