Chapter 458: Chapter 99: Storm (Long Chapter! Request for Monthly Pass!)_3

Xiao narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, "I could only recognize some of the contents on that ancient stone tablet, which seems to say that this tomb relic is connected to a kind of forbidden technique that has been passed down for centuries..."

"Forbidden technique?"

Gu Shen thought of the Prayer Technique and the Divination Skill in his mind!

"I am hearing about such techniques for the first time... The ancient script on the tablet says that even if the caster doesn’t have extraordinary ability, they just need to pay the corresponding price to receive the corresponding ’feedback’..."

Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Who wouldn’t want such power?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes, looking around the vast tomb and muttered, "Just that... I’ve been lurking here for dozens of days to no avail, and I haven’t seen any other ’ancient recordings,’ nor have I found any clues from the daily excavations of the tomb walls. So I put all my last hopes in the tomb’s coffin."

Gu Shen frowned, "The people from Late Bell Church tried everything but couldn’t open this coffin; they used a huge amount of manpower to excavate from behind... How did you manage to open the coffin?"

"It wasn’t hard, they were just foolish."

Xiao expressionless, "The last script carved on the vertical coffin stated that the entrance to opening it just needed one to manipulate spiritual power according to the guide of the script... The whole process only took three seconds. For those who can’t read the ’ancient script,’ it’s like a celestial code, but for those who can, the seal on the coffin wood was practically imaginary."

That was his conviction... that there were good things inside the coffin!

Just that unexpectedly, after opening the coffin... it was a huge disappointment.

If it weren’t for Gu Shen.

He would have obtained a Bengxue Bullet, although it was a gain, he had traveled thousands of miles here, but he came for that so-called ’Forbidden Technique’!

After listening, Gu Shen became lost in thought.

He sized up Xiao.

The words Xiao said... couldn’t be taken seriously, perhaps some parts were true, but at crucial points, Gu Shen didn’t believe a word; he hadn’t seen the so-called "stone tablet" at all. The claim of some forbidden technique hidden in the tomb was vague at best.

However, there was potentially good news.

Xiao didn’t know about the existence of the "Lamp of Sorrow"!

Because from beginning to end, he hadn’t taken another glance at the "funerary goods" inside the coffin.

He definitely couldn’t imagine... that Gu Shen actually came here for that Copper Human Lamp.

"Materialize that ancient stone tablet for me using your spiritual power," Gu Shen spoke again after pondering for a while.

Xiao, however, became completely silent.

He gently jolted the iron chains on his body, the message couldn’t be clearer.

Untie me.

Gu Shen did not hesitate; he flicked his finger lightly, and the chains loosened instantly... The whole process seemed as smooth as flowing water, yet he remained on guard, ready at any moment to trigger the Iron Throne, Truth Ruler, and Bengxue Bullet simultaneously should there be the slightest hint of trouble!

Xiao took a long breath in relief, he stood up, kneading his own wrists, as this body was indeed too frail; just being bound by the chains for a short while made him feel dizzy and suffocated.

He rotated his neck, slowly exhaling a breath.

"Before I show the spiritual replica of the stone tablet... I have a question,"

He smiled looking at Gu Shen, "If I’m not mistaken, it seems... you can also utilize the authority of ’Deep Sea,’ right?"

When he had just turned off the base’s power and sneaked into the tomb.

Xiao had no idea about Gu Shen’s presence!

One reason was because this body was too frail, and his spiritual capacity limited.

The second reason was... Gu Shen’s actions were too swift, moreover, he had mastered the entire map of the tomb.

As an observer of the tomb, every day that Xiao came to the Snowfield underground, he would observe the environment and the followers of the Late Bell Church, those newly captured "servants", as well as the devoted priests, he recognized them all one by one. To prevent accidents, he even marked them with a scent of spiritual power; he was confident, even if Gu Shen disguised himself, he wouldn’t escape his senses.

Then it became clear.

Gu Shen had just entered the "tomb"... It’s hard to say whether the young man was lucky or he was unlucky, to have encountered him after the tomb was sealed off.

But being able to infiltrate here was surely no coincidence!

"You don’t need to guess about such matters," Gu Shen responded indifferently, "You will never guess the answer."

Xiao narrowed his eyes.

He sighed and pressed two fingers to his brow, slowly projecting an image.

It was a blurry image of an ancient stone tablet, filled with many obscure characters.

Gu Shen accepted this thread of spirit, while Chu Ling instantly scanned the contents of the image for replication.

Although the database could not recognize the ancient script.

But the "source code" had a repository of ancient scripts, and every character on the tablet was separated out for comparison... trying to find similar characters as much as possible.

While Gu Shen was scanning the ancient script on the stone tablet.

A faint sigh sounded.

"No... Actually, you misunderstood."

The dark face that belonged to Sandini Singh gradually revealed a regretful smile, "I’m not concerned about that question... I just want to remind you... have you never been curious about your own origins?"

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

Xiao’s voice grew deeper, "I possess ’Blood Fire’ that can freely invade mundane bodies, and you also possess a strand of ’flame,’ which seems brighter than mine. You must have already figured out some of the spiritual power in this flame, right?"
