There is almost no grass growing in the ancient mining area.

The ground had been excavated, and Ji Chen and his companions moved forward into the interior of the mountain. Along the way, they could see many huge mines that had existed for at least hundreds or thousands of years.

Along the way, in addition to Ji Chen and the Holy Maiden of Kunlun, there were many cultivators around them, all from all over the Eastern Wilderness.

Obviously, after the drastic weakening of the holy power today, it has reached a level that many people can bear.

Therefore, many monks who had been waiting in Lingcheng before, all flocked into the Liyuan Mountains today, just to find the so-called holy fate.

The birth of the holy object has already caused a huge uproar in the entire Eastern Wilderness. Countless powerful people from aristocratic families and great men from holy places have rushed here, not wanting to miss this opportunity.

In addition to this, there are also many lone cultivators. Today, the Liyuan Mountains are almost everywhere filled with cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness, numbering at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

However, although the holy power in the mountain has been greatly weakened, the deeper you go, the stronger the holy power flowing out will become.

Under the obstruction of such a holy power, many people dare not go too deep into the mountains and can only search on the periphery.

“Most of the powerful people from the ancient families and holy places came with magic weapons, which can help them resist some of the holy power in the mountains. Moreover, they are determined to get the holy objects and will not stop for other things along the way. Now most of them have reached the deepest part of the mountains. It seems that we have to speed up.” The Holy Maiden of Kunlun said.

"Where did the holy object come from in the mountains? Does the Saint have any clues?" Ji Chen asked.

She shook her head. "No one knows the true location of the holy object, but we just need to follow the source of the holy power. Besides, you should have successfully cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Eye by now, right? Maybe you can use it to bring us a lot of help."

Ji Chen was stunned when he heard this.

There was no hesitation, and soon Ji Chen activated his Heavenly Spirit Eye.

A rainbow light appeared in his eyes. Ji Chen looked around and saw that the holy power in the mountain seemed to have condensed into a substantial existence. Wisps of golden light flowed in this ancient mountain.

"Go this way."

He used his divine eyes to follow the direction of the flow of holy power and led the Kunlun Saint forward.

"Boom!"

During this period, they could occasionally hear loud energy sounds coming from not far away from them.

In this ancient mining area, there were a large number of monks who came here to look for treasure. They discovered some rare source ores, and driven by interests, disputes were inevitable, which led to fights.

But Ji Chen and the others obviously had no intention of paying any attention to such things.

With the help of the Heavenly Spirit Eye, Ji Chen was able to quickly track down the source of the holy power and quickly head into the mountains with the Kunlun Saint.

Finally, about an hour later, they passed through the mining area and came to the depths of the mountains. This was a mining area that had never been mined by anyone. The vegetation in the mountains was growing very lushly and looked full of vitality.

Not only Ji Chen and the other person, many cultivators have also arrived here a long time ago, and are now searching for treasures in the mountains.

"what is that?"

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound in front of the two of them.

Looking around, I saw that someone had discovered something unusual under an ancient tree.

A skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many years was now sitting under a tree. Its body had long since decayed away, leaving only a pile of dry bones, appearing to be quite peaceful.

Next to the skeleton, on the ground, there was an ancient sword, half of which was stuck in the soil. Perhaps due to years of corrosion, it was now covered in rust.

"Is this the miner from the mountain before? He accidentally came here and died here?" Someone couldn't help but speak.

The Liyuan Mountains are rich in spiritual minerals. Over countless years, all major forces in the Eastern Wilderness have sent a large number of people to mine here.

Therefore, naturally, some people would not be able to resist going deeper into the mountains to investigate, but due to some accidents or other reasons, they lost their way and died here.

Such a thing is obviously not surprising.

"Judging from the corpse, this person has been dead for at least a hundred years, yet the bones are still preserved so intact?" Somewhere in the crowd, an old man frowned, feeling that something was unusual.

"Hey, what's so surprising about a pile of bones? Could it wake up and beat people?" A brave man couldn't help laughing and walked towards the dead bones under the tree.

This was a lone cultivator. He came under the tree and did not even look at the withered skeleton. Instead, he stared at the rusty iron sword. "This is a weapon from a hundred years ago. I wonder if it can still be used now?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, reached forward, grasped the hilt of the sword, and tried to pull it up from the ground.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the moment the iron sword was pulled out, everyone could feel that the space in this area shook slightly, as if an invisible and inexplicable force instantly enveloped the entire place.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Then, a crisp sound was heard by everyone. The dry skeleton leaning against the tree actually moved, like a walking corpse, and slowly stood up.

Such a scene immediately shocked everyone present.

A skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many years seemed to have come back to life at this moment, which was so strange that it made people's hair stand on end.

"Hey!"

Just as everyone was horrified, the skeleton suddenly attacked. One of its arms stabbed out like a sharp sword and instantly pierced through the body of the man who had just drawn the sword, piercing his chest on the spot.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth uncontrollably. Until the moment of his death, there was still a look of disbelief on his face. Finally, his body fell backwards, and his life was completely gone.

"Buzz!"

The skeleton picked up the rusty iron sword from beside his corpse, and swung it in the air. An astonishing sword light appeared, and it indiscriminately rushed towards the crowd in front.

"what!"

Screams rang out instantly. Although the monks who were hit first reacted, they were unable to dodge in time. Five or six of them were instantly dismembered, killed on the spot by such a sword.

"what happened?"

"Run! This skeleton has come alive for some reason, and judging by the strength of that sword, it has at least the power of the Dao Slashing Realm!"

Cries of surprise rang out, and the dozens of monks who had originally gathered here instantly fled in all directions, not daring to stay any longer for a moment.

"what is that?"

Ji Chen and the Kunlun Saint were also retreating quickly, obviously not wanting to get entangled with them.

At the same time, a solemn look appeared on their faces.

While fleeing quickly into the distance, the Kunlun Saint frowned, and after a while she said, "There seemed to be a trace of a saint's Dao pattern appearing on the dry bones just now. This trace of Dao pattern made it seem to come alive."

As she spoke, her expression became more solemn. "The things that emerged from the mountain are probably more than just holy weapons. This is most likely a saint's tomb. The withered bones just now are most likely the corpse puppets guarding the saint's tomb!"
