Chapter 831 Is Liu Shen an unparalleled being of the Immortal Ancient Era?
The group followed Shi Hao back to the stone chamber.
This time, they moved with even greater caution, each step extremely light, as if afraid of waking something that was asleep.
The God-Slaying Stone and Han Li's relocation array have completely collapsed, but the immortal corpse still lies quietly in the center of the stone chamber. The surrounding light is much dimmer than before, like a candle flickering in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.
Cao Yusheng was the first to step forward, squatting down to examine the immortal corpse closely. He then winced in heartache, exclaiming, "Oh dear, half of the body is completely destroyed! This was a complete true immortal skeleton, gone just like that!"
He pointed to half of the immortal corpse's body, which was pitted and uneven from the black blood. The once crystal-clear bones had become dull and lifeless, and some bones had even broken off and were scattered on the ground where the black blood had dried.
"What's sealed inside that pottery jar is probably an unimaginable creature."
Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "It was suppressed for countless years and was only just now completely obliterated. That black blood and black mist should be the remains left behind after its death."
Shi Hao remained silent, his gaze fixed on the immortal corpse, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him.
The existence of this immortal corpse was not only to bury a true immortal, but also to suppress the terrifying being sealed in the pottery jar.
A true immortal used his own bones as a seal to suppress that thing for countless years, until it was completely destroyed in this era.
The sacrifices and perseverance involved filled him with deep respect.
Just as he was about to say something, the voice of the Lunar Jade Rabbit suddenly came from the side, trembling slightly: "Shi...Shi Hao, look this way!"
Following her gaze, everyone saw a bluish-green skull lying quietly around the fragments of the black pottery jar.
The forehead bone was smooth and lustrous, as if it were carved from jade. Although it was only the size of a palm, it exuded an extremely ancient and mysterious aura.
What surprised everyone even more was that the frontal bone seemed to be trembling slightly, as if something was awakening inside it.
"this……"
Han Li stepped forward, observed carefully for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly as he said, "This piece of forehead bone... still retains a trace of consciousness fluctuation, although it is extremely weak, it is indeed present."
Shi Hao also stepped forward, reaching out his hand to carefully touch the blue forehead bone.
The moment his fingertips touched his forehead, an extremely familiar aura surged from his forehead and flowed into his body through his fingers.
The aura was like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, carrying a warm and welcoming feeling that left him completely stunned.
That is……
The aura of the Willow Goddess!
Shi Hao's heart pounded, his fingers trembled slightly, and his voice trembled: "This...this is the aura of the Willow God...I can't be mistaken."
He lowered his head and examined the frontal bone closely. He saw several tiny holes on the bone, each with a smooth, mirror-like edge, as if something had precisely pierced through it.
The shape of those holes is exactly the same as the outline of a willow leaf.
"These holes... were pierced by willow leaves."
Shi Hao spoke, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "These are the willow leaves of the Willow God."
The God-Slaying Stone also flew over at this moment.
It circled the skull several times, its light flickering, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Heavens! This skull belongs to the previous era, and it even has traces of willow leaves on it. This means... the Willow God already existed in the Immortal Ancient Era!"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
They all knew that Liu Shen was Shi Hao's guide and his guardian when he was in the lower realm, but no one expected that Liu Shen's origins were so ancient.
The Immortal Ancient Era was the previous era, countless millennia ago.
The Willow Goddess actually existed in that era and left traces.
Shi Hao fell into deep thought for a moment.
He looked at the blue skull in his hand, his mind churning with thoughts.
What kind of great battle took place during the Immortal Ancient Era that led to the apocalypse?
Could it be the alien army that Zhu Chen mentioned before?
What role did Liu Shen play in that era?
Why would she appear in the lower realm?
Why would you protect him?
These questions were like a tangled mess, swirling in his mind and leaving him at a loss for what to do.
When the breeze blew through the stone chamber, scattering the black ash on the ground, only a few golden leaves and the blue forehead bone remained.
Although those leaves have endured countless years, they still retain their complete shape, with sharp edges like knives, emitting a faint golden light.
Han Li stepped forward, picked up a golden leaf, examined it carefully, and then slowly said, "I speculate that something like this may have happened in the past: the Willow God defeated a supreme being here and sealed it in that black pottery jar. However, that being was extremely powerful, and even the Willow God could not kill it on the spot. It could only be suppressed with the bones of a True Immortal to slowly wear it down. The willow leaf hole on this forehead bone is evidence of that battle."
Cao Yusheng nodded, unusually putting away his playful expression: "No wonder the black blood in that pottery jar was so strange. It turns out it was the remains of a powerful being that had been sealed for countless years. And that true immortal must have been invited by the Willow God to guard this place. He sat cross-legged in this stone chamber, using his own bones as a seal, guarding it until that being was completely annihilated."
Shi Hao held the blue forehead bone in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
He seemed to see that fierce battle from back then through this piece of forehead bone.
The figure of the Willow God darted through the void, its golden willow leaves like a sky full of stars, forcing that supreme being into a desperate situation.
The true immortal sat cross-legged in this stone chamber, guarding countless eras with his life and bones.
"Willow Goddess..."
Shi Hao murmured softly, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that he could find traces related to the Willow God deep within this burial ground.
That piece of forehead bone and those golden leaves were like a key, opening a door to the past for him.
He stood up, carefully put the forehead bone and the leaf into his cave, then turned to look at everyone and said firmly, "I will take all these things with me. They may be related to the Willow God, or they may be related to the truth of the Immortal Ancient Era. One day, I will find out everything."
No one objected; they all nodded in agreement.
They knew that these artifacts were of great significance to Shi Hao.
Especially since the whereabouts of the Willow God are still unknown, these willow leaves might allow Zhu Chen and Shi Hao to sense where the Willow God is now!
