Those were cultivators who had fallen for countless years; from their already decayed faces, one could discern certain clues.
Although their flesh had rotted, their bones presented a faint golden hue, with the Dao Rhythm of heaven and earth flowing through them.
Gu Qingfeng understood in his heart.
The Saints mastered the power of heaven and earth, so their skeletons were imbued with the Dao Rhythm of heaven and earth.
The corpse before him was a strong practitioner in the Saint Realm during its lifetime.
Even as powerful as a Saint.
Ultimately, they too fell here.
The corpse had become an ill omen, but now it could be considered relieved.
Gu Qingfeng took the storage ring from the corpse.
Divine Thought entered it, revealing many resources within.
Some Spiritual Medicine had lost much of their potency over time; a light touch from Gu Qingfeng reduced them to ashes.
Even so, some items still remained intact.
Most of the items were useless to Gu Qingfeng.
Only two jade slips caught his attention.
When Gu Qingfeng’s Divine Thought fell upon one of the jade slips, a surge of information emerged instantly.
"My name is Yan Feixuan. I began my cultivation journey at the age of ten, broke through the Divine Transformation Realm at fifty, entered the Dao Palace Realm at three hundred, and finally achieved the Saint Realm at five thousand three hundred and sixty.
In my life, I encountered numerous fortuitous events, but due to limited talent, I stopped at the Saint Nine Heavens.
Now, as my lifespan nears its end, my heart is unwilling. I have heard that the Tai Chu Ancient Land contains the Undying Divine Medicine, which can grant another lifetime, so I ventured inside to seek it.
However, the Tai Chu Ancient Land is perilous; even Saints find it difficult to enter.
I was cursed by the Tai Chu Ancient Land, knowing that my time is short. Therefore, I leave behind all my knowledge, hoping that future generations can inherit my legacy and not let it be lost in the river of time.
Additionally, if any of my successors obtain this inheritance, I hope they will pass it on to the Tianxuan Sect in the Eastern Domain!"
From the information left in the jade slip, Gu Qingfeng could clearly identify the cultivator before him.
Entering the Dao Palace Realm at three hundred years old!
Achieving the Saint Realm at five thousand years old!
Strictly speaking, Yan Feixuan’s talent wasn’t too bad.
After all, those truly lacking in talent wouldn’t even succeed in breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm, let alone stepping into the Saint Nine Heavens.
Yan Feixuan’s talent was not exceedingly great either.
If his talent were exceptional.
He wouldn’t have stopped at the Saint Nine Heavens.
Nevertheless, the path of cultivation is arduous and long, and those who can step by step ascend to the peak rely on both talent and fortune.
Yan Feixuan ventured into the Tai Chu Ancient Land for a chance, yet he ultimately perished here, indicating his fortune was not particularly profound.
What truly caught Gu Qingfeng’s attention.
Was the mention of the Undying Divine Medicine by Yan Feixuan.
"It is said that the Undying Divine Medicine can grant a cultivator another lifetime, a treasure that even the Quasi Emperors covet!"
"But the rumor outside is that the Undying Divine Medicine is just a legend. Yet, since Yan Feixuan ventured within, it implies that the Undying Divine Medicine very likely truly exists!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes glimmered slightly.
This temptation was immense.
He had heard of the Undying Divine Medicine’s existence within the ancient records of the Qin Family.
Such a Divine Medicine.
Whether consumed by Quasi Emperors or cultivators below that realm, it would have an effect.
The notion of living another life is based on the cultivator’s own lifespan.
If a Quasi Emperor consumed it, considering a Quasi Emperor’s lifespan of ten thousand years, living another life would effectively add ten thousand years of life.
If a Saint consumed it, considering a Saint’s lifespan of seven thousand years, living another life would merely add seven thousand years of life.
The higher the cultivation.
The better the effect of consuming the Undying Divine Medicine.
Though the Undying Divine Medicine is extraordinary.
It could only be consumed by Quasi Emperors at most.
For strong practitioners in the Emperor Realm, consuming the Undying Divine Medicine would have no effect.
According to the ancient records of the Qin Family.
Great Emperors are too powerful.
Even with the heaven-defying effects of the Undying Divine Medicine, it is difficult to grant such beings another life.
With the power of the Great Emperors, they could effortlessly tread forbidden lands and search for numerous Undying Divine Medicines, achieving eternal existence.
No matter what though.
The power of the Undying Divine Medicine is beyond doubt.
Even with Gu Qingfeng’s current cultivation realm, it was hard to resist the temptation of the Undying Divine Medicine.
After all, the temptation to live another life is irresistible to anyone.
To live a few thousand years longer.
Is to gain more opportunities.
Numerous prodigies and demons, clearly capable of stepping into higher levels, ultimately stopped at a certain stage due to limited lifespan and fell into oblivion.
Upon learning that the Tai Chu Ancient Land holds the Undying Divine Medicine, Gu Qingfeng naturally had the thought of acquiring such a medicine.
Even if he wouldn’t use it, the descendants of the Gu Family could.
The longer the descendants of the Gu Family lived, the more chances he had to reach higher realms.
"Although Yan Feixuan knew that the Undying Divine Medicine existed in the Tai Chu Ancient Land, he didn’t know its exact location within the land.
In the vastness of the Tai Chu Ancient Land, it wouldn’t be simple to truly find the Undying Divine Medicine!"
Gu Qingfeng mused silently.
His Divine Thought focused on the other jade slip.
Lay the inheritance left by Yan Feixuan.
An advanced cultivation technique directly leading to the Saint Nine Heavens.
Such a high-level cultivation technique was rare even outside.
The name of this sect surfaced in Gu Qingfeng’s mind, and soon he had some impression.
The Eastern Domain was filled with numerous sects of varying sizes, numbering at least a million if not millions.
