Chapter 903: Ancient Giant Tomb

"What is this? Grandmaster Elder Dayan, have you seen it?" Han Li frowned for a long time before transmitting his voice to Grandmaster Elder Dayan with his spiritual sense.

"Do you really think I know everything? I have never heard of this thing. However, since it can resist your spiritual sense penetration, it can be called a strange treasure. Ask the other party in detail how they obtained this thing. Then, whether you accept this thing or not depends on your own intention," Grandmaster Elder Dayan said unpleasantly.

Hearing this, Han Li smiled in his heart without getting angry. Instead, with his eyes flickering, he withdrew his spiritual sense, let the bubble return to normal, and put the jade box back on the table.

"How is it? Do you recognize this thing, Fellow Daoist?" Jin Yuan asked eagerly.

"Sorry. My experience is limited, and I truly cannot recognize this thing," Han Li said with an apologetic expression.

"You don't recognize it either, Brother Han. I saw that this thing had an unusual change just now, and I thought you knew its use!" The old man was full of disappointment, and there was a hint of suspicion hidden in his tone.

Han Li laughed lightly and explained nonchalantly:

"The unusual change just now was only caused by wrapping it with a large amount of spiritual sense. Although I don't know what it is, calling it a strange treasure is barely enough."

"Oh! So that's how it is." The old man seemed to be half-believing, his gaze fixed on the golden bubble in the box, and he also released his spiritual sense.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression didn't change, and he watched the old man's actions quietly.

After a while, the bubble indeed flashed with golden light and expanded and contracted slightly.

And the old man exhaled a long breath, a look of fatigue appeared on his face, and after closing his eyes to rest for a while, he opened his eyes again.

"I am incompetent and let you laugh at me, Fellow Daoist. But your spiritual sense is truly extraordinary, Brother Han," Jin Yuan said, with a look of envy on his face.

In his view, the other party's cultivation base was similar to his, but the action just now was effortless, while he was so strenuous, naturally because the other party was a person with such powerful spiritual sense from birth. Such a person must be a key disciple cultivated by any sect, and their future must be limitless.

Han Li smiled slightly and did not refute anything.

"Brother Jin, where did you get this thing? It looks truly strange; I wonder if it has any special origin. Of course, if you feel it is inconvenient to say, forget it," Han Li said calmly, revealing an indifferent expression.

"There is nothing to keep secret about the origin of this thing. But I am afraid that after I say it, you won't believe what I say, Fellow Daoist. Because this matter is truly a bit unbelievable," the old man hesitated first, then smiled bitterly.

"If you don't say it, how would I know if I don't believe it? Besides, knowing its origin, perhaps I could think of its origin. After all, just relying on a dead object, I really can't associate it with its origin," Han Li smiled and said.

Listening to the other party's tone, this thing really had a story.

"Actually, there is nothing to hide about the origin of this thing. It is just that for the sake of this thing, several of my close friends all perished," Jin Yuan sighed and said.

Han Li was stunned upon hearing this. But seeing the other party's thoughtful expression, he knew the other party would say it, so he remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist should be able to guess that I am a rogue cultivator, and a rogue cultivator who cultivates earth-attribute techniques. I don't have any other supernatural powers, but I have a small accomplishment in earth-escape techniques. If it weren't for my truly low spiritual root aptitude, I fear many large sects would have fought to take me as a disciple," saying this, the old man's face was full of regret.

"So after my cultivation base achieved something, I often liked to go to some remote mountains and wild places to find some ancient cultivator cave dwellings, hoping to find some spiritual land ruins and have a stroke of good luck overnight. But those ancient cultivator cave dwellings and spiritual objects are not so easy to find. Although I cannot say I have gained nothing, compared to the time wasted on this, it is not much. Until three years ago..."

The old man's voice paused unnaturally before he said in a low voice:

"Three years ago, I was invited by a good friend who said he had discovered an ancient giant tomb, and he intended to use my earth-escape technique to go and explore it. If we could really obtain treasures, he would naturally share a portion with me. Upon hearing this, I was overjoyed and immediately agreed to go. When we arrived, I already knew that this ancient tomb was truly extraordinary. Sure enough, after we entered the ancient tomb, we discovered..." The old man's voice became a bit shaky.

"We discovered that the ancient tomb was actually the tomb of a famous emperor from ancient times. That person was known for his cruelty in ancient times, King Brother Xuan Ye, who was also a legendary great figure. We were all disappointed upon seeing this, thinking we had made a wasted trip. After all, no matter how extraordinary this person was among mortals, what could he have that would be useful to us cultivators? But who would have thought that after breaking into the main tomb chamber, we discovered that the burial objects actually contained many rare materials and magic tools used by cultivators. We were all overjoyed and prepared to take the things, but who would have thought that the numerous mummified corpses in the tomb chamber suddenly came to life and turned into invulnerable walking corpses? No matter what magic tools or techniques we used, they were all useless. Most of the fellow daoists were torn to pieces before they could react. And there was a strange sound from the main coffin, as if the legendary King Brother Xuan Ye was about to be resurrected. Fortunately, I am proficient in earth-escape techniques, and seeing that the situation was bad, I immediately escaped from underground. Otherwise, I would have perished in that fierce tomb. But the others were not so lucky." When the old man said this, his face turned slightly pale. It seemed that the scene back then had truly shocked him.

"Then this thing is..." Han Li felt slightly surprised, but still pointed to the jade box and asked.

"This thing was an object offered on the main coffin, which I took away when I left. I originally thought that since this thing is so strange, it must be a strange treasure. But who would have thought that after asking around at various markets, no one knew what this thing was. Although I knew it was extraordinary, no one was willing to pay a high price to buy it, so it has been in my hands all along," Jin Yuan didn't hide much and said directly, but the depression on his face was obvious.

"Since it is a burial object of an ancient emperor, it is not strange that no one knows it. After all, in ancient times, there were many things that have long since disappeared in the current cultivation world. However, an ordinary mortal emperor actually had things of cultivators, and even turned into a walking corpse; it seems the problem is quite serious. Did you not find anyone to explore this tomb again?" Han Li revealed a strange expression and asked.

"I naturally went to find that ancient tomb again, and even brought a large group of high-tier cultivators to go there. Who would have thought that after I went to the original place, that ancient tomb had inexplicably disappeared? There was only a large piece of wilderness left. I truly couldn't believe what I saw. But I certainly didn't remember the location of the ancient tomb wrong. Even the secret marks I deliberately left at the entrance of the ancient tomb were clearly visible," Jin Yuan said, his face suddenly turning gloomy.

Han Li frowned. If all this was true, and only the old man survived among a group of people, plus the old man didn't find the ancient tomb, then there was no need to say what happened afterward; this person's days would definitely not be easy.

"Where did you see the ancient tomb, Fellow Daoist? Can you tell me?" After pondering for a moment, Han Li opened his mouth calmly again.

"Where else could it be? Naturally, it was in the depths of this Xueling Mountain Range," the old man said with gritted teeth.

"Xueling Mountain Range. If I remember correctly, you seemed to have said that cultivators often disappeared in the mountain range in the past. Is it related to this matter?" Han Li's eyes flashed with strange light, and he said slowly.

"Perhaps. I am not very clear about it either. However, if you are interested in this, Fellow Daoist, I can show you the address of the ancient tomb. Perhaps you have a chance to go and take a look, and maybe you will have some discoveries!" The old man hesitated for a moment before saying this.

"Fine. If I have time, I will go and take a look!" After being silent for a moment, Han Li reached out to take the jade slip, and said without changing his expression.

"Hehe! It seems you and I are truly like old friends at first sight, and I haven't told anyone about this bitterness for a long time. How about this? I see that you are also very interested in this thing, Brother Han. I will sell this thing to you more cheaply. You just need to give me a hundred spirit stones, Brother Han, and you can take it. How about that?" The old man smiled and said.

"A hundred spirit stones? It is indeed very cheap. But I cannot let you suffer a loss, Brother Jin. How about this? I will give you two hundred spirit stones to exchange for this item," Han Li smiled, appearing somewhat embarrassed, and said so. Then he reached into his storage bag at his waist, and two mid-tier spirit stones appeared in his hand, which he handed to the old man opposite.

Seeing that they were mid-tier spirit stones, a smile appeared on Jin Yuan's face. He politely said a few words and accepted them. And the golden bubble in the jade box naturally pushed toward Han Li.

And Han Li, in front of the old man, casually stuffed the jade box into his storage bag. Seeing this, the old man had a look of satisfaction on his face, seemingly quite reluctant.

But just then, a spiritual beast bag at Han Li's waist moved and emitted a slight cry.

"This is..." The old man was stunned, staring at this spiritual beast bag at Han Li's waist, and asked curiously.

"It is nothing, just a low-tier spiritual beast I am raising. It probably likes to hunt, and it is a bit interested in this thing," glancing down at the spiritual beast bag, Han Li said with an indifferent expression.
