Chapter 424



424 Chapter 424, Headless Corpse (2)

After Yang Tian memorized the order of the buttons, he took a few steps forward, squatted down, and pressed a few buttons on the platform.

When the last button was pressed, the stone platform began to vibrate slightly.

The Flying Cloud High Priest was on the verge of collapsing. Yang Tian quickly supported him and walked to the edge of the stone platform.

Amidst the tremors, the middle part of the stone platform separated and a green crystal box that was about two meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter tall slowly rose up.

The surface of this green crystal box was engraved with symbols.

“Open it.”After the large stone box completely appeared on the stone platform, the Flying Cloud High Priest indifferently said.

The Flying Cloud High Priest only said these two words, but Yang Tian noticed that the Flying Cloud High Priest’s voice was slightly trembling.

This old man seemed to be a little excited..

Yang Tian thought to himself.

“Alright!”Yang Tian responded and immediately went forward to the side of the large stone box.

This large green stone box gave Yang Tian the feeling that it was actually like a sarcophagus.

Before he even opened it, Yang Tian had already predicted that this was most likely related to the mysterious young man in the legends.

Inside, it might be the corpse of the mysterious young man, or some items left behind by him.

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Tian became excited.

After taking a look, Yang Tian knew how to open it.

This large ‘stone box’used a whole piece of green crystal, after carefully digging, carving, and carving, it was made into the main body, and then added a stone cover.

The structure was the same as the coffin.

When Yang Tian pushed open the cover, he realized that this was really a stone coffin.

That was because there was a headless human corpse lying inside.

When the stone coffin was opened, a powerful energy fluctuation was emitted from the stone coffin.

This energy fluctuation made Yang Tian feel a powerful pressure. Even the little azure dragon lying on Yang Tian’s shoulder couldn’t help but become nervous and vigilant.

Although this corpse was emitting an intense energy undulation, it didn’t have any life aura.

This made Yang Tian feel at ease.

One had to know that star level cultivators, even if their bodies were shattered, they could reassemble their bodies. And this corpse’s life level was obviously much higher than a star level cultivator.

The moment he opened the sarcophagus, Yang Tian was still afraid that this corpse would come back to life!

This headless corpse was wrapped in black cloth, only revealing its arms and two legs. This part of its skin appeared somewhat white, without any blood color, but it was still smooth and full of moisture.

“This is…”looking at this corpse, Yang Tian said in surprise.

The Flying Cloud High Priest walked over slowly with his two stiff legs. As he walked, he said, “You guessed correctly! This is that mysterious young man, an outsider.”

“An outsider!”Yang Tian was surprised.

That was because Flying Cloud High Priest was a powerhouse in this universe. The outsider he was talking about came from outside this universe.

How could Yang Tian not be surprised?

“That’s right!”Flying Cloud High Priest had already walked to Yang Tian’s side and said, “His appearance gave us hope. However, we destroyed it with our own hands.”

“Why do you say that?”Yang Tian asked curiously.

The high priest of flying cloud shook his head and sighed. He did not answer Yang Tian’s question, instead, he said to Yang Tian, “After you go back, hand it over to the Superstar Shrine! When you reach a certain realm, you will understand.”

Yang Tian felt very regretful that the high priest of flying cloud did not answer this question. But he also guessed that many of those experts that were torturing themselves might be because of this reason.

Because to these experts, reaching the highest level was their goal in life, and how could they not feel bitter and resentful when they destroyed this goal with their own hands?

Yang Tian closed the sarcophagus and then stored it into his storage bracelet.

He planned to hand the sarcophagus over to the Superstar Academy the moment he returned. To him, this thing was a hot potato, not something he could possess at the moment.

Seeing Yang Tian put away the sarcophagus, the flying cloud high priest said again, “Do you know why my legs have become like this?”

Yang Tian shook his head, his eyes filled with anticipation. He knew that if the high priest of flying cloud said so, he would definitely give the answer.

The high priest of flying cloud said, “Because I took this corpse and did an experiment. I wanted to use my own body cells to devour it to change my life realm. In the end… I lost my legs.”

Is this possible..

When the high priest of flying cloud said this, Yang Tian couldn’t help but have this kind of thought.

“It’s all because of my greed that there are such consequences. Otherwise, I still have a long time ahead of me.”

The words of the high priest Feiyun were both a sigh and a warning to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian naturally understood this logic.

However, possessing the corpse of an expert was still extremely powerful. It would be a pity if he didn’t use it to study it.

“I’ve already given you what I should have given you. I hope you can fulfill your third request. I’m really tired after enduring for such a long time. I’ll sleep for a while…”Yang Tian was deep in thought, high Priest Feiyun suddenly sat down cross-legged and said faintly.

The further he went, the softer his voice became. In the end, it was so soft that it couldn’t be heard.

At the same time, High Priest Feiyun’s life force became weaker and weaker. In the end, it completely disappeared.

This is too sudden. He died just like that. There are still many questions to ask. Can’t he live for a few more days… Yang Tian blamed the flying cloud high priest in his heart.

This was because he was very sad.

The Flying Cloud High Priest was obviously not a good person. He was like other cultivators, indifferent to the lives of others, cold and arrogant..

But Yang Tian did not feel any of this.

He only knew that this old man had passed on the last thing he had in his life to him. Therefore, Yang Tian was very sad.

After kneeling down and kowtowing three times to high priest Feiyun, Yang Tian straightened his back and looked at high priest Feiyun’s corpse. “I will definitely abide by the third agreement. I will only leave this place after I advance to the Super Star Realm.”

After saying that, Yang Tian stood up and went to the body of the Flying Cloud High Priest. With a wave of his hand, he put the body of the Flying Cloud High Priest into his storage bracelet.

If this body was sent back to the Superstar Academy, Yang Tian would also receive a reward of one million credits. At the same time, he would also let the Flying Cloud High Priest return to his roots.

The Flying Cloud High Priest was unable to return to the superstar Divine Hall when he was alive. After he died, he could finally return.

“Hu ~”

Letting out a long breath, Yang Tian lay on the stone platform in a large font. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the ceiling of the cave.

At this moment, he could not help but think about what it would feel like if he were to stay here alone for tens of thousands of years..

He reckoned that they would all go crazy?

Not long after, Yang Tian closed his eyes and let out a light snore. He had actually fallen asleep.

The Little Green Dragon lay beside Yang Tian’s head. It did not sleep. Instead, it stood upright with its upper body. From time to time, it turned its dragon head to guard Yang Tian.
