Chapter 824: 1 whole true immortal bone!

Shi Hao and the others gathered around the black metal plate and observed it carefully for a while.

Shi Hao reached out and pressed his hand on the metal plate again. The light of his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye flowed in his eyes as he tried to see through the door's true nature.

But those ancient runes seemed to possess a natural resistance, not only blocking his exploration but also preventing even his divine sense from penetrating them in the slightest.

"strangeness……"

Shi Hao withdrew his hand, his brows furrowing slightly. "I previously read the Immortal Ancient Chapter of Perfect World, and it didn't mention this metal plate in the Burial Realm. Perhaps it's nothing special, just an ordinary refining material?"

Lin Dong also came over and tapped the metal plate, muttering softly, "But this material doesn't look ordinary. Can ordinary refining materials have runes like this?"

"Let me take a look..."

Luo Feng stepped forward, his gaze lingering on the metal plate for a moment before a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the metal plate, then turned to Shi Hao and asked, "Brother Shi Hao, this metal plate is a rare refining material. Although it's just a rough blank, it will greatly benefit the evolution of the Golden Horned Beast within me. If you don't plan to use it for anything, could you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao waved his hand without hesitation: "Take it if you want. Anyway, we haven't figured out what's so special about it, so leaving it here would be a waste."

Lin Dong nodded casually, "That's right, Sixth Brother, take it if you need it. We brothers don't need to be so polite."

Qian Renxue and Qin Hao had no objections, and Cao Yusheng and Taiyin Yutu were even less concerned.

Han Li, as was his habit, took a few more glances and nodded after confirming that there were no hidden restrictions.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Luo Feng no longer stood on ceremony.

He walked to the metal plate, closed his eyes, and a golden power began to surge within him.

A moment later, a golden phantom appeared on his body.

The phantom quickly solidified, instantly transforming into a gigantic golden-horned beast.

Then, the golden-horned behemoth opened its massive maw, and a beam of golden light shot out from its mouth, like a golden chain, directly wrapping around the metal plate.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the golden-horned behemoth opened its blood-red maw and began to devour the pitch-black metal plate.

The runes on the metal plate began to flicker violently the moment they came into contact with the golden light, as if resisting the devouring force. However, the power of the golden-horned behemoth was even more domineering, and the light of the runes grew dimmer and dimmer until it was completely extinguished.

The metal plate, enveloped in golden light, sank inch by inch into the mouth of the golden-horned beast and disappeared.

"Brother Shi Hao, what race is your friend? Why does he only eat metal? I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen a creature that can directly devour refining materials!"

"Yes, yes, this is the first time I've ever seen this either..."

Cao Yusheng and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit stared in disbelief at this scene.

Both of them were seeing someone eat metal for the first time, and found it very strange.

Just as everyone was marveling at Luo Feng's devouring of the metal plate, Han Li, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly stopped.

"There seems to be someone there."

Han Li stared at a spot ahead, muttering to himself with a wary expression.

The others followed his gaze and saw a huge sinkhole appearing in the dissipating fog ahead.

The sinkhole was hundreds of feet deep, with steep walls and dark red soil at the edges, as if it had been stained with blood.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, some figures could be vaguely seen busy at work; some were digging, some were moving stones, and some were squatting on the ground carefully examining something.

"Those people..."

Shi Hao scanned the sinkhole with his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, his gaze sharpening slightly: "They seem to be digging for something."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately became excited: "Digging for things? There must be some good treasures. Shall we go down and take a look?"

Shi Hao did not answer immediately, but carefully observed the situation in the sinkhole.

He noticed that the monks digging at the bottom of the pit were very careful, each shovel stroke was made with extreme caution, as if they were afraid of damaging something.

The soil that was dug out was a dark red color and had a hard texture, as if it had been soaked by some kind of force.

"That soil... seems to be the wrong color."

Qian Renxue also noticed some details at this moment.

Cao Yusheng stepped forward and glanced at the scene in the sinkhole. He pondered and said, "That is soil stained with the blood of ancient immortal cultivators. Legend has it that during the ancient immortal era, countless powerful beings perished in this burial realm. Their blood soaked the earth, making this land exceptionally hard and preventing others from probing it with their divine sense. Therefore, those people believed that something extraordinary was buried below."

Shi Hao nodded: "No wonder I always felt some kind of obstruction when I used my divine sense to explore the sinkhole. The soil there can indeed block divine sense."

After listening for a while, Lin Dong couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shi Hao, haven't you already read the novel 'Perfect World'? Then you should know what's buried underneath, right?"

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't read the entire Perfect World book before. I only gleaned some information about the current situation. As for what's buried at the bottom of this sinkhole..."

He paused, his gaze suddenly becoming deep, as if recalling something, and then slowly uttered four words.

"True immortal bones."

"True immortal bones?"

Lin Dong gasped, "That's a True Immortal's bone? Even more powerful than the True Immortal's hand bone that the six-time champion Ning Chuan obtained?"

Shi Hao nodded and said, "Ning Chuan only obtained a hand bone, but what is buried here is a complete skeleton of a True Immortal. Although we don't know which True Immortal it is, the immortal runes and power it contains are much stronger than a hand bone."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit perked up its ears in excitement: "A complete set of True Immortal remains? Wouldn't that be even more precious than the Ten Ferocious Treasures?"

Cao Yusheng also abandoned his usual lazy demeanor and became serious: "If it really is a complete True Immortal skeleton, then if this news gets out, the entire Immortal Ancient Secret Realm will go crazy. If we want to take action, we must do it as soon as possible."

Shi Hao took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the busy figures at the bottom of the sinkhole, then looking up at the churning chaotic mist around him, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Let's go down and take a look, but don't rush into action. Let's assess the situation first. Since those people dare to dig here, it means they must have powerful backers. Let's figure out the situation before deciding how to proceed."

Everyone nodded and followed Shi Hao, quietly approaching the huge sinkhole.
