Chapter 74: Three Boxes!

  His face was full of confusion, Yi Chen couldn't understand it at all, especially this cemetery, who was buried here?

  "What is this thing?"

  Suddenly, Yi Chen discovered a black iron block. It looked very ordinary, with no luster, but it contained a hint of soul power.

  "Holy Spirit." In the middle position, there were two big characters, strong and powerful, with every stroke being very mysterious, but not ancient characters, which Yi Chen could easily understand.

  "This shouldn't be an iron block, but a token." Yi Chen carefully observed and came to this conclusion, then turned his head towards the skeleton.

  "Holy Spirit?" The clothes worn by those skeletons were extremely tattered, but at the corner of the garment, Yicheng discovered these two words.

  "It seems that this thing was left behind by them before they died." Yi Chen came to such a conclusion, and then turned his head to look at Jia Xin, only to find that he hadn't noticed the situation here.

  Without making a sound, Yi Chen directly put the token into his storage ring and then turned around to walk to Jia Xin's side.

  "Tian Yao Wang, stay!" On the wall were four large characters that captured people's hearts. Yi Chen felt a kind of suffocating feeling in his heart, as if something was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

  "How terrifying! What kind of person could have left such large characters? The lingering aura in the words alone is so powerful." Yi Chen exclaimed.

  "The name should be Tian Yao Wang, and this must be his handprint." Jia Xin nodded, then pointed to the position next to the big character.

  Following Jia Xin's pointing direction, Yi Chen found a huge handprint. It wasn't an ordinary handprint because it was too big.

  "It's four times larger than a normal person's. Is this really the handprint of that Heavenly Demon King?" Yi Chen walked forward and compared it, saying.

  Not only that, but Yi Chen also discovered a problem - the handprint didn't look like it belonged to a human at all, and instead looked more like the footprint of a magical beast.

  "It should be." Jia Xin nodded and walked over to the wall, operating his soul power as he slapped a palm against it.

  "Peng." Along with the dull thud, Jia Xin took a deep breath, and a sharp pain came, but that wall was intact.

  "Even the Soul Realm can't leave a single trace behind. How deep must that Tian Yao Wang's cultivation be?" Yi Chen was stunned, saying.

  "Tian Yao Wang, could it be that the person who left the handprint is from the demon tribe?" Jia Xin shook his arm and said.

  "You tribe?" Yi Chen had never heard of this term before, a look of puzzlement flashed across his face as he asked.

  "Before my grandfather passed away, he once told me that when a demon's level reaches a certain degree, it can transform into human form. And the descendants they left behind are called the You tribe, which can also transform into human form." Jia Xin thought for a moment and said.

  "In our Yuangen Empire, are there also demon tribes?" This was the first time Yi Chen had heard of it, and a strong interest immediately appeared on his face as he continued to ask.

  "I'm not sure about this either, and it seems like no one has ever seen a person from the demon tribe." Jia Xin shook his head.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chen nodded and shifted his gaze, walking to the middle of the second floor.

  "There's a pit and some gravel here, it should be where the coffin is placed." Yi Chen said softly after observing for a while.

  "If this is where the coffin was placed, then where did the owner of the tomb go?" Jia Xin stepped forward, puzzled.

  "I think it was taken away by that heavenly demon king, or maybe some unscrupulous tomb raiders made off with it." Yi Chen shook his head and said.

  "If it were ordinary tomb raiders, I think they would have taken the things from the first layer with them. From this point of view, it should be that the things were taken away by a powerful figure." Jia Xin nodded and said.

  "It's a pity, otherwise the burial objects in the coffin might still have some useful skills."

  Yi Chen shook his head helplessly and then began searching around here to see if there was anything valuable or a better burial object.

  Upon seeing Yi Chen's actions, Jia Xin finally remembered the purpose of being here and immediately joined the search.

  "It's strange, such a large second floor, yet there isn't even half a thing." After searching carefully, the two of them didn't find anything valuable.

  "Could it be that the people who came in to move the coffin also took away all the things that were supposed to be buried with him?" Jia Xin said, feeling extremely depressed.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't want to come in vain, so he carefully searched again, yet still found no results.

  "What a bad luck! I've been busy for almost half a day." Jia Xin snorted and muttered.

  "No, have you sensed it? There's a fluctuation in the air." Yi Chen suddenly stood still, as if he had sensed something.

  "Fluctuation?" After Yi Chen's reminder, Jia Xin was startled and then began to sense it too, saying: "Indeed, there is a faint wave of fluctuation."

  "It seems to be where the coffin was originally placed." Yi Chen suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed intently on the front, and then stepped forward.

  "It should be right." Coming to this place, Yi Chen felt that the fluctuation was the strongest.

  "I didn't expect your intuition to be so strong. Working with you is indeed the wisest choice." Jia Xin smiled and walked forward.

  "It's very likely that things are here, but we're both empty-handed, how can we dig?" Yi Chen said with a helpless expression.

  "Heh heh, good thing I was prepared." Jia Xin laughed loudly and retrieved two shovels from his storage ring, handing them to Yi Chen.

  With a faint smile, Yi Chen took over the shovel handed over by Jia Xin, and then the two began to take action, using the shovel to scoop up mud and sand.

  Both of them were cultivators with excellent physical strength and speed, and in a short while they had dug to a depth of over three meters, and the fluctuation was even stronger.

  A look of joy appeared on his face, and Yi Chen's digging speed quickened a lot. After a while, he felt the shovel hit something hard.

  "We've dug it up." Yi Chen's heart skipped a beat with excitement, and then he and Jia Xin quickened their pace, finally uncovering what was inside.

  It wasn't just one thing, Yi Chen and his partner dug out three iron boxes!

  Although it is unknown how many years it has been buried underground, the trunk is intact and does not have a single speck of rust.

  "It's probably not made of ordinary steel." Yichen observed the box and said.

  There was also a keyhole on the box, which should be the place to open the box, but Yi Chen and the others did not have the key and could not open it.

  They dug again in the place where they found the box and didn't find the key, which made Yi Chen frown.

  "I don't know if brute force can open it." Jia Xin's face turned ruthless, and then he operated his soul power, fiercely slapping one of the boxes.

  "Peng." A dull thud echoed through the air, but unfortunately, the box didn't react at all. Instead, Jia Xin was in so much pain that he was drenched in cold sweat.

  "This box is surprisingly sturdy." Seeing this situation, Yi Chen was secretly shocked and became even more curious about what was inside the box.
