111: Mysterious female corpse!
“It’s truly the Jianmu!”
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a sense of disbelief!
The divine tree from myths and legends, actually appearing before their eyes?
Hua Xia continued, “Since the Great Cataclysm, various mythical creatures have appeared on Earth!”
“People began to suspect that perhaps the ancient myths and legends passed down might be true!”
“The gods, divine beasts, and exotic beasts recorded in ‘The Classic of Mountains and Seas’ might have truly existed!”
“It’s just that they gradually died out over the long passage of time!”
Zhang Fan interjected, “Actually, similar speculations and discussions online are nothing new!”
“Many netizens speculate that a flourishing cultivation civilization might have once existed on our Earth!”
“Many of the myths and legends we hear now might have been real events at the time!”
“Pangu splitting heaven and earth, Nuwa mending the sky, Suiren taking fire, Fuxi drawing hexagrams, Hou Yi shooting the sun, Kua Fu chasing the sun…”
“It’s possible they were real!”
“It’s just that the civilization at that time was too primitive and backward, and humans were ignorant, so these details weren’t recorded meticulously!”
“As a result, history gradually evolved into stories, stories into legends, and legends finally evolved into myths!”
“I’ve also seen similar posts, but I didn’t take them seriously!”
Chu Jian nodded in agreement, “Now it seems, maybe it’s true!”
Speaking of this, Chu Jian looked at the coffin, then glanced at the huge skeleton beneath the coffin, guessing,
“Could this skeleton be from that era?”
Hua Xia nodded, “Whether it is or not, this coffin most likely is!”
“Back then, the Jianmu was cut down, and someone used its trunk to make this coffin, which has been preserved until now!”
“Look at these branches and leaves, the Jianmu has clearly revived!”
Everyone had already noticed the many branches and leaves on the coffin.
They just hadn’t expected them to be newly grown branches and leaves.
Even more unexpected.
It actually came alive!
“To be able to revive even after being made into a coffin, this Jianmu’s vitality is too vigorous, isn’t it?” Li Qian exclaimed.
“I suspect that the emergence of the divine tree brought Congenital One Qi to Earth, which is why the Jianmu revived!”
Hua Xia guessed.
“Very likely!”
Zhang Fan nodded, “This coffin has been buried underground for an unknown number of years, and now it has suddenly revived!”
“Nine times out of ten, it’s related to the divine tree and the Congenital One Qi!”
“So what?”
Chu Jian asked consecutively, “What’s its use? Is it a treasure?”
“Of course, it’s a treasure! It can gather Congenital One Qi, which is why the Congenital One Qi here is so dense!”
Hua Xia’s eyes flashed with excitement, “That’s why it attracted the Titan Armadillo, Demon Horn Scorpion, and Four-Headed Earth Dragon, three Monster Lords, to come here!”
“If we take it back and plant it in the courtyard, it will surely create an excellent cultivation environment!”
“Makes sense!”
Chu Jian was somewhat agitated, “The Congenital One Qi in the Taklamakan Desert was originally very thin, yet now it can become so dense!”
“If we take it back to Beijing, how dense would the Congenital One Qi around it become?”
“Cultivating next to it, wouldn’t our cultivation advance by leaps and bounds?”
The others were also very excited.
Congenital One Qi has an unparalleled and immense effect on both Titan Beasts and Titan Warriors!
Cultivating in a place with dense Congenital One Qi would definitely be incredibly fast!
The fact that so many Monster Emperors are entrenched in the Pacific Ocean is precisely because of the dense Congenital One Qi, which literally piled them up!
“Captain, quickly put it away!” Li Qian urged.
“Yes, yes! Put it away!”
Chu Jian also urged.
“Alright!”
Everyone worked together to pull the coffin out of the hole.
As it was pulled out, its true appearance was completely revealed.
“Is it really a coffin?”
“It seems it really is!”
Everyone exchanged glances.
This “coffin” was cylindrical, covered with a wooden board, embedded with wooden pegs, resembling a coffin lid.
“Using Jianmu to make a coffin, what a grand gesture!”
Zhang Fan’s eyes gleamed, “How about… we open it and take a look? See which great god is buried inside?”
“Open it!”
“Must open it!”
“We must take this coffin back with us, what’s the deal with a dead person sleeping in it? Get them out quickly!”
Zhang Fan’s suggestion received unanimous agreement from everyone.
If it were an ordinary coffin, they naturally wouldn’t want to disturb someone’s peaceful rest.
They would even find a place, dig a pit, and re-bury the deceased to let them rest in peace, as a sign of respect for the dead!
But this coffin was made of Jianmu, and it had to be taken back!
Opening the coffin and discarding the body was unavoidable!
“I’ll do it!”
Chu Jian volunteered, and with a slight effort, he lifted the coffin lid.
Everyone immediately looked inside, only to see a woman lying in the coffin, with skin like congealed fat and a gentle face.
She was dressed in primitive, simple animal skins and wore a crown woven from fresh flowers, giving off a sense of primordial vastness, yet also elegance, nobility, and a kind and approachable demeanor.
The most miraculous thing was.
Although she had been dead for an unknown number of years, her skin was still delicate and as fresh as new, as if she were just sleeping!
“She… who is she?”
Chu Jian’s voice stammered, “Why is her body so complete? And her skin is still so tender, she won’t suddenly open her eyes, will she?”
“No need to panic!”
Hua Xia, however, was relatively calm, “She must have been dead for a very long time!”
“As for why her body is so well-preserved, either the coffin is special, or her cultivation was very high!”
“My grandfather once said that upon reaching the Yang God Realm, bones are like jade, blood is like mercury, and the physical body can remain incorruptible for a thousand years!”
“If one reaches Demigod status and refines a divine body, the physical body will remain incorruptible for ten thousand years!”
“Moreover!”
“This coffin is made of Jianmu, containing immense vitality, and its anti-corrosion effect is astonishing!”
“Oh, I see!”
“I knew it!”
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
This female corpse was so lifelike that they were truly afraid she would suddenly open her eyes and jump out of the coffin to bite them.
While relieved, another question arose in everyone’s minds:
Who is she?
To be able to sleep in a coffin made of Jianmu, she must be a significant figure, right?
“Wearing animal skins… this is too primitive, she wouldn’t be a Peking Man, would she?” Chu Jian asked in surprise.
“That possibility cannot be ruled out!”
Hua Xia said, “Peking Man and us modern humans have no essential difference, and their appearances are basically the same!”
“However…”
Hua Xia changed the subject, “She’s wearing animal skins, which indicates a very ancient time!”
“But her skin is more delicate than ours… there’s only one possibility!”
“She is also a Titan Warrior, and a Titan Warrior who has achieved success in cultivation!” Zhang Fan interjected.
“Right!”
Hua Xia nodded, “In ancient times, living conditions were harsh, with wind and sun exposure, and the average human lifespan was very short!”
“Such an environment couldn’t produce a beauty with such fine, delicate skin!”
“Unless she was a Titan Warrior, capable of absorbing Congenital One Qi to strengthen her physical body and nourish her skin!”
“Makes sense!”
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Just look at the natives in the African rainforest, and you’ll understand that when living conditions are too harsh, people’s skin is like tree bark.
“Then who exactly is she?” Li Qian couldn’t help but ask again.
“That, I don’t know!”
Hua Xia shook her head, “Unless we can find something that indicates her identity!”
“Then let’s look for it!”
“First, lift her out!”
Everyone offered an apology, then lifted the beast-skin beauty out.
“You two big guys, please turn around!”
Zhang Fan and Chu Jian turned their backs, while Hua Xia, Li Qian, and Li Yu thoroughly and carefully examined her inside and out.
However, they couldn’t find anything that could indicate her identity.
“Can’t find anything!”
“Unable to determine her identity!”
“Forget it! Who she is isn’t important! Let’s find a place to bury her!”
Everyone was a little disappointed, but not particularly concerned.
For them, who this female corpse was wasn’t that important; this Jianmu coffin was the most important thing.
“Actually, there’s another way, which might allow us to infer her identity indirectly!” Zhang Fan suddenly said.
