Chapter 1485 - Puzzled
This chest was a bit heavy, but it wasn’t ridiculously so, no idea what was inside. s.h.i.+ Hao shook it a bit, but didn’t hear any sounds.
It was about to rot, looking extremely old, but it was also s.h.i.+ning slightly. It was a faint golden color, the radiance extremely hazy.
He finally obtained it! s.h.i.+ Hao felt great emotions surging within him. It was because he came precisely for this wooden chest, seizing it from the long life tree’s hands.
This thing was something even Shutuo and Anlan had their eyes on, always sending people over, but in the end, they all failed. Now, it actually landed in his hands.
“Why can’t I open it?” Even studying it for a while, he discovered that this chest was extremely strange, sealed tightly shut. There was no way to open it at all.
There was no cover, nor was there a lock. It was just one body. Upon closer inspection, it seemed even more like a solid block with a few ancient patterns carved onto it. It gave off an extremely ancient feeling.
The faint golden radiance was released precisely by these patterns. There was a type of mysterious feeling, as if the creatures from endless time ago were pa.s.sing on some type of information onto those of later generations.
s.h.i.+ Hao extended his divine will, trying to examine its contents, but in the end, his perception was cut off, completely unable to pry into the chest’s mysteries.
He exerted a bit of force, supporting his right hand with the Imperishable Scripture, trying with brute force. However, this rotten wooden chest didn’t budge in the slightest, remaining ridiculously tough!
s.h.i.+ Hao fiercely activated the essence blood in his body, the strength of his palms and fingers terrifyingly great, butin the end, he still couldn’t damage the wooden chest at all. It still released the hazy golden radiance, not even a mark left on its surface.
It was about to rot already, so why was it still this hard?
s.h.i.+ Hao’s pupils were like spears, stabbing at this thing. Was there really no way to open this wooden chest? He really found this hard to accept.
“Don’t waste your energy anymore. If it was that easy to destroy, it would have long rotted in that grave, would it have waited for you to open it?” The old medicine took joy in his disaster.
It did everything it could, obtaining that chest as an immortal medicine really wasn’t easy, yet now, it lost it, so it was naturally furious.
“What kind of mysteries do you know? Hurry and tell me, it’s not good to keep everything to yourself.” s.h.i.+ Hao said shamelessly.
“I’ve never seen a human with skin as thick as yours!” The immortal medicine was furious. Right now, it wouldn’t speak even if it was beaten to death.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t avoid it either. He thought to himself. Right now, he couldn’t figure anything out, so it was better to put it away first and deal with it after leaving this place.
However, what left him shocked was that no matter how he tried, he had no way of storing away this rotten wooden chest, unable to store it in spatial magical artifacts, nor could he merge it into his body.
This was too strange. All magical force, divine abilities and other things were ineffective against this chest. It was completely unaffected.
“This really is strange!” s.h.i.+ Hao’s eyes swirled with brilliant radiance, becoming more and more expectant, wis.h.i.+ng to open this chest.
He no longer tried to figure it out, holding it in his hand just like that, waiting for an opportunity to really study it.
“Brother Huang, what is this thing? You seem quite lost while looking at it. What kind of background does it have?” Shenming walked over. She was extremely sensitive, her fiery red long hair fluttering about, the corners of her lips curled slightly upwards. Her sparkling white face carried a smile.
“It’s nothing much, just thinking about some things.” s.h.i.+ Hao replied extremely calmly.
Just now, he secretly conversed with the immortal medicine, so he naturally appeared a bit absent-minded. The Golden Undead Knights saw his absent-minded appearance.
“Can you let me take a look? This chest looks so old, yet these patterns gives one a strange feeling of dao comprehension.” Shenming said.
s.h.i.+ Hao cursed inwardly. He didn’t feel anything even when holding this chest in his hands, not sensing any dao comprehension feeling, yet Shenming was about to comprehend the dao from just a single look? This was clearly nonsense!
He knew that the other party only felt curiosity towards this chest, wis.h.i.+ng to study it.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t refuse, not hiding anything, generously handing it over, inviting her to examine it.
“Wu, it really is comfortable! While stroking these patterns, I feel as if I am going to ascend, as if I am going to soar into the heavens!” Shenming’s beautiful eyes narrowed, using her soft and gentle jade fingers to continuously stroke the rotten wooden chest, completely infatuated.
Her body flowed with divine multicolored light, faint essence energy pervading the air, making her look incomparably divine.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t know if she was doing this on purpose or if she was serious. Was there a need to put on an act? He felt like there wasn’t. However, why did Shenming act like this? Could it be that she really experienced a feeling of dao comprehension?
The other Golden Undead Knights were stupefied. Sanzang walked over, nodding, feeling that this coffin really was extraordinary.
“It is strange, I am quite enchanted by the patterns on this chest, but for some reason, when I carefully sense it, I feel a bit of disgust towards the chest.” Shenming said to herself.
This made s.h.i.+ Hao’s mind jump. Could it be that this wooden chest had something to do with the ancient undead knights?
This was but something from vile earth, not some Burial Earth holy land ancient artifact.
Moreover, in Shutuo and Anlan’s struggle, that mysterious Burial King didn’t go after this chest, but was rather completely focused on attacking those two kings.
“Can you let me take a look?” Sanzang said.
The other Golden Undead Knights also moved over, the immortal medicine that followed Shenming’s side also approached, floating in the void. Purple energy surged, watching this wooden chest.
This made s.h.i.+ Hao s.h.i.+ver inwardly. He was worried that the medicine might realize something!
It was because the immortal medicine had lived for too long of a time, its experiences great and vast, knowing too much. It was simply a living library of knowledge!
Moreover, since the immortal medicine at his side knew about it, moreover attaching such importance to it, then the other stalk wouldn’t overlook this ancient chest either.
He quickly transmitted sound, telling the old medicine on his own shoulder his concerns.
“Relax, it doesn’t know what this is.” The long life tree remained calm, not caring at all, not minding this type of examination at all.
“Why?” s.h.i.+ Hao asked.
“Before the dark red great grave split open, not even I knew that there was a rotting wooden chest inside.” It replied.
“You don’t even know what it is, yet you are still fighting with me over it?!” s.h.i.+ Hao was furious. This old medicine really wasn’t sincere, s.n.a.t.c.hing his things halfway.
“I don’t know its shape, but I know that the item inside is extremely important!” The long life tree wanted to say something else, but it closed its mouth, not willing to expose anything.
Sure enough, after that stalk of medicine approached, it didn’t express anything.
Sanzang held the wooden chest in his hands, his reaction the same as Shenming, extremely shocked at these patterns. He also felt an urge to comprehend the dao, but wasn’t that fond of the wooden chest itself.
“It has something to do with undead knights!” s.h.i.+ Hao was now sure.
However, he wasn’t that sure. Was this something from Burial Earth? It could only be said that the patterns on the chest were most likely carved by the creatures of burial realm.
“Don’t tell me that something is sealed within?” s.h.i.+ Hao thought. Anlan and Shutuo had always been searching for that fleeting higher level existence. Could it be related to this?
If it was the work of undead knights, something unknown sealed inside, then this would explain why the two Golden Undead Knights were fond of the patterns, but loathed the wood itself.
Perhaps what they hated was what was inside of the wooden chest!
“Dao brother is formidable after all, actually having this type of treasure.” Sanzang said with a sigh, clearly jealous.
s.h.i.+ Hao smiled, but didn’t say anything, because he really didn’t know what to say. If he was asked about this chest’s secrets, it would be hard for him to explain anything.
These individuals didn’t ask further, because every undead knight had their own secrets.
At the same time, they felt a bit of restraining fear towards s.h.i.+ Hao, feeling like he was definitely the descendant of some Burial King.
“Let’s prepare to fish up the undead artifacts!” At this time, someone spoke up, informing everyone that there was an abnormal change to Burial Abyss.
Sure enough, chaotic energy surged, mists spreading. Waves of strange fluctuations were transmitted, releasing sinister radiance.
“Burial Abyss has been opened, everyone be careful!” Someone shouted loudly. This seemed to be an extremely serious matter. Many people brought out burial artifacts, starting to be on guard
Hong!
The great black abyss was incomparably vast, as if it linked up to the limits of the world. It released a deafening noise, large amounts of multicolored light surged from the depths of the black abyss.
It was extremely holy and divine, extremely boundless, as if an ancient realm had been opened. This was an incomprehensible great world!
This was clearly Burial Earth, extremely strange, there should be underworld mist and other things. However, why was it so dazzling and brilliant right now? This was extremely strange.
It was because as s.h.i.+ Hao continued along, he heard these people’s discussions. The black mist here was extremely terrifying, once one rushed over, even the undead knights couldn’t hold on.
However, right now, what he saw was completely different from what he had expected. Exuberant life force surged from this place, as well as a type of cryptic fluctuation that was released, as if it a message was being released, trying to arrive after crossing the endless river of time.
Right now, everyone felt alarmed inwardly.
“Yi, things are different this time, we are actually witnessing a marvel! This brilliance has never appeared before, an unmatched Pride of Heaven is about to be born! Perhaps a new Burial King will appear in my burial realm!” Someone spoke, extremely stirred up.
When s.h.i.+ Hao heard this, great emothings rose and fell within him. There were some Burial Kings who weren’t creatures of burial earth, but rather came from this place?!
