Chapter 302 Ancient Memories
Cheng Feng turned to look at the place Chen Wenjin had mentioned, and indeed, the wall was engraved with the same pattern as the bronze door.
"As far as I know, the person inside the cocoon is the builder of the Bronze Gate. I tried to talk to him using a special method, but unfortunately it didn't work."
Cheng Feng frowned; he was determined to meet this person.
Cheng Feng intended to take the meteorite from Tamutuo with him. What if there was some unknown ancient artifact inside the meteorite that he took with him?
Cheng Feng was also worried that something unexpected might happen along the way.
"Judging from these shed human skin fragments, this person had been sleeping inside the meteorite for at least four thousand years."
In other words, he should have achieved immortality two thousand years ago through the Corpse-Eating Pill, but for some reason he's been hiding here all this time.
Cheng Feng had told them that the longevity method of the Corpse Beetle Pill mainly relied on the living Corpse Beetle King within the pill.
After consuming the Corpse Beetle Pill, a meteorite is needed to suppress the Corpse Beetle King's independent consciousness.
Two thousand years later, the Corpse King in his mind finally died, leaving only its remaining shell.
In this way, people will not be affected by the Corpse King and will not mutate, but they can still inherit the Corpse King's longevity transformation.
“I suspect that his immortality, like that of the Queen Mother of the West, also had a problem, which is why he has been hiding here for thousands of years.”
As he spoke, a glint flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, and he took the Fish Intestine Sword out of the imaginary space.
"Old Cheng, are you trying to break it open?"
Seeing this, Chen Wenjin asked with some hesitation.
Cheng Feng nodded slightly and explained, "His exact condition is very important to me, so I need to open the human skin cocoon and see for myself."
"If he really fails to achieve immortality, then he'll just be a blood corpse that's thousands of years old!"
This is exactly what Chen Wenjin is worried about; nobody knows how terrible these old, stale rice dumplings can be.
She was satisfied with her current life, so she subconsciously didn't want Cheng Feng to do anything dangerous.
"Don't worry, as long as he hasn't reached the realm of gods, he's no threat to me."
There are still some entities in this world that Cheng Feng wouldn't dare to mess with.
The final one behind the bronze door is one of them; the system was shut down for a year after I went there last time.
Cheng Feng won't be going anytime soon.
The giant chunk of meat from the ancient Golden Kingdom, the entropy of the snake worshippers' faith, the strange tree of the Ghost Kingdom's faith...
And then there is the most terrifying, and also the largest, ancient god, Lu.
The ancient god Lu is a fully evolved being no weaker than the serpent god.
It is like a black hole, constantly devouring everything around it, and the more it devours, the larger its body becomes.
The ancient god's body has now grown to cover the entire China, and it is thanks to the bronze gate built by Fuxi that the devouring and growth of the god Lu has been restrained.
If it is allowed to devour everything, the entire Earth will one day disappear completely, and everything will merge with the God of Lu, becoming nourishment for its body.
Now the last member of the Fuxi clan is inside the human skin cocoon, and Cheng Feng must meet him. There are many things that only he can answer for Cheng Feng.
Seeing that Cheng Feng was determined to open the human skin cocoon, Chen Wenjin did not try to dissuade him anymore. Instead, she and Hei Xiazi helped Zhang Qiling to the side of the cave.
Wang Xiaofei was placed with Zhang Qiling by the others, silently observing everything before him.
She was feeling somewhat dejected because even the Queen Mother of the West had not achieved true immortality, and the faith that the Wang family had built up over the past few hundred years was about to collapse.
"Master, be careful."
Cheng Feng nodded to Huo Ling, and then Huo Ling turned around and went to the place where Chen Wenjin and the others were hiding.
After they had all left the vicinity of the human skin cocoon, Cheng Feng swung his sword at the cocoon without hesitation.
Swish
Cheng Feng's sword strike was like a domino effect, with layers upon layers of human skin falling from above like an avalanche.
Surrounded by a gentle breeze, these human skins silently slid off Cheng Feng without touching him at all.
The rain of human skins lasted for a full ten minutes. After the human skins stopped falling, Cheng Feng stared intently upwards.
It was a clump of transparent liquid floating in mid-air, reflecting seven colors in the light.
In the clear liquid, an infant whose facial features are not yet fully developed is curled up with its knees tucked in.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a baby girl.
Before wielding his sword, Cheng Feng had many hypothetical scenarios, such as a 4000-year-old zombie popping out of it.
Or if it were a perfectly healthy, living person, Cheng Feng wouldn't be surprised even if a corpse beetle the size of a person crawled out.
But no one expected that there was a baby soaking in an unknown liquid inside.
Chen Wenjin and the others were also extremely surprised to see what was happening before them.
"Is this the baby who was communicating with Zhang the mute?"
Hei Xiazi found it hard to believe.
Perhaps sensing the change in the outside world, the baby in the transparent liquid moved its tiny hand.
Then a strange gurgling sound came from the transparent liquid.
Chen Wenjin and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhang Qiling, the only one who could understand the secret language, had already fainted and was now completely unable to comprehend what these voices were saying.
But at this moment, Cheng Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
Because he suddenly gained some extra memories, these memories played out in his mind like a movie as time went on.
In the star-studded night sky, a meteorite exploded, its light almost turning night into day.
The light split into nine during the explosion, one of which landed near Changbai Mountain.
The scene shifts to a group of people clad in animal skins standing in front of a gigantic monster.
They sacrificed the corpses of various creatures to the monster, and for a time things were relatively peaceful.
But as time went on, the monster grew larger and larger, and eventually it set its sights on the object that had traveled to Earth with the meteorite.
After a long journey, this group of people arrived at what is now known as Changbai Mountain, where they found the meteorite that fell from the sky.
It was here that they first saw the Ultimate.
After witnessing the ultimate event, the people of this tribe suddenly had an epiphany. They began to understand what the monster was and gave it a name: Lu.
If Lu were to devour the Ultimate, the entire world would be destroyed, so they gathered before the Ultimate.
A mysterious connection was formed between a tribal ritual passed down through generations and the ultimate truth.
Then a bronze gate rose from the ground, separating people from the ultimate reality.
From then on, Lu was suppressed by the bronze gate, preventing it from devouring and developing further.
The bronze door cannot be fully opened, for it is ultimately protected by this door.
After this incident, the tribe settled in Changbai Mountain and began to guard the bronze gate and the ultimate secret behind it.
After an unknown amount of time, the current tribal chief entered the bronze gate and brought out a red beetle.
This insect is the Corpse Beetle King.
Through the Corpse King that emerged from behind the bronze gate, the tribe began to continuously attempt to achieve immortality through the Corpse King.
During this period, they left behind a large number of murals, recording everything that happened.
