Looking at the black box in front of him, Ye Chen thought to himself, “Could it be that within this Storage Ring, this black box is the most precious item?”
Thinking this, Ye Chen excitedly picked up the box from the ground, carefully examined it a few times, and just as he was about to open it to see what was inside, he noticed a keyhole on the front of the box.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Chen felt stifled and thought, “What the heck is this situation?”
“So, to open this box, I still need a key?”
One must know that the skeleton had been dead for an unknown number of years.
Where could Ye Chen possibly find a key now?
At this moment.
Just as Ye Chen was feeling extremely frustrated, he suddenly remembered that when he had taken this Storage Ring from the corner of the chair beneath the skeleton, he seemed to have seen something clutched in the skeleton’s hand bone.
With this thought, Ye Chen quickly withdrew his Divine Sense from the Storage Space and looked towards the skeleton in front of him.
Sure enough.
Between the skeleton’s hand bones, Ye Chen saw a black key.
Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't hesitate for a moment, raising his hand to grab the black key between the skeleton’s hand bones.
“Crack…”
With a crisp sound, the skeleton’s hand bone was directly torn off by Ye Chen.
It was as if countless years of erosion had made the skeleton incredibly fragile.
Looking at the black key in his hand, a smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face.
Then he bent down, picked up the hand bone that had fallen to the ground, placed it on the skeleton’s leg bone, and respectfully bowed to the skeleton on the chair. After that, he took out the black box from the Storage Ring, eager to see what was inside.
The next second.
“Click…”
With a crisp sound, an ancient scroll was revealed inside the black box.
Looking at the ancient scroll in the box, Ye Chen, filled with emotion, took it out.
When he saw the small words “Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill” written on the side of the scroll, Ye Chen’s heart immediately began to pound with excitement.
On the Tianwu Continent, Martial Skills are divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks.
Within each, they are further divided into Advanced, Intermediate, and Low Grade.
It was easy to imagine how precious a Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill was.
Not to mention anything else, looking at Qingcheng Mountain, the highest Martial Skill was only Low Grade Profound Rank.
And this was only possessed by the Three Great Families and the City Lord’s Mansion.
As for the remaining wealthy noble families, the highest they had was a Yellow Rank Advanced.
Some didn’t even have Yellow Rank Advanced Martial Skills.
If Ye Chen were to spread the news that he possessed a Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill, it would likely not take even half an incense stick’s time before countless powerful individuals came to snatch it.
Of course, Ye Chen wouldn’t be so foolish as to spread the news of possessing such a valuable treasure.
As the saying goes, ‘a man’s wealth is his ruin.’
Ye Chen understood this principle.
“Brother, what is this?”
Just then, Ye Lin, seeing Ye Chen’s excited expression from not far away, walked over with a curious look on her small face and asked.
Ye Chen, in a good mood, said, “Lin’er, this is a very powerful Martial Skill! As soon as brother learns it, I can take you away from here!”
Hearing this, Ye Lin’s small face lit up with excitement and she asked, “Brother, really?”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Silly girl, when has brother ever lied to you!”
Saying this, Ye Chen glanced around, as if he had some plan in mind, and instructed Ye Lin, “Lin’er, you go tidy up the surroundings first. Brother will go deal with that big snake outside. In a few days, brother will take you out. How about it?”
“Mm!”
Lin’er nodded in response, then walked to the side and began tidying up.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, walked out of the stone chamber.
He thought that dealing with the Chi Yun Snake and spending a few days here shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, Ye Chen still had many resources in his Storage Ring.
These few days, he could take advantage of the lack of disturbance to diligently improve his Cultivation.
At that time, Ye Chen thought that with enough strength, even if he left this place, he could still survive in the Ten Thousand Mountains with Ye Lin.
Otherwise, with Ye Chen’s current Cultivation, let alone taking Ye Lin, it would be difficult for him to survive alone in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Not long after.
Ye Chen walked in, carrying a pile of snake meat.
Then he walked out of the stone chamber again, picked up a pile of branches, and returned.
He used the spiritual energy within his body to start a fire, placed the snake meat on the fire, and began to roast it.
At the same time.
Ye Lin had also finished tidying up their living space and came to Ye Chen’s side, sitting cross-legged and chatting with him.
After a few breaths.
When Ye Chen thought the snake meat was almost done, he stood up, took the snake meat off the fire, tore off the largest piece, and handed it to Ye Lin, chuckling, “Here, Lin’er, try brother’s cooking!”
Smelling the fragrant roasted snake meat, Ye Lin couldn’t help but swallow, then began to eat large mouthfuls without any regard for her image.
Seeing Ye Lin eat with such relish, Ye Chen tore off another piece of snake meat from his hand, placed it in front of Ye Lin, and then ate his own.
After a while.
Ye Chen looked at the satisfied Ye Lin and instructed, “Lin’er, you’ve been exhausted these past few days, go rest now!”
Ye Lin nodded, and just as she was about to get up to rest, she suddenly saw Ye Chen still sitting cross-legged on the ground and asked with a puzzled look on her small face, “Brother, aren’t you resting?”
Ye Chen said, “You go first!”
“Brother will Cultivate here for a while, then I’ll go rest!”
“Mm!” Ye Lin nodded in response, then walked towards the tidied-up spot not far away.
Ye Chen watched Ye Lin go to rest, then with a thought, he entered the Eternal Sky Tomb. Then he flipped his hand, revealing several Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and closed his eyes to Cultivate.
Previously, when Ye Chen had absorbed the information about the Eternal Sky Tomb, he learned that within the Eternal Sky Tomb, in addition to having more concentrated spiritual energy than the outside world, he could also acquire the Legacies of the powerful individuals buried in those tombs.
As for how to obtain these Legacies, according to the method Ye Chen had learned, he only needed to defeat the true spirit of the powerful individual buried in the tomb.
If Ye Chen were defeated by the true spirit of the powerful individual buried in the tomb, then Ye Chen would take the place of that powerful individual’s true spirit and sleep here forever.
And that powerful individual’s true spirit could then use Ye Chen’s body to achieve Rebirth.
So this was why Ye Chen had not yet obtained the Legacy of a powerful individual since his Awakening of the Eternal Sky Tomb.
It wasn’t that Ye Chen didn’t want to.
Rather, the powerful individuals buried here were all the strongest beings from the Primordial, Ancient, and Chaotic Eras.
Even the weakest among them were Prodigies who suppressed an entire era.
Although Ye Chen, by virtue of his identity as a Demon Suppressing General, could use some of the privileges within the Eternal Sky Tomb.
However, these privileges also required corresponding strength.
