System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

After fusing with the Snake Mother's inner core, Zhang Hao will be able to control the Black Flying Spear at will.

With a thought, the black flies parted to the sides, making way for a passage in the middle.

Zhang Hao then walked out from the middle.

Everyone outside the tomb looked on with envy at the sight.

Not only did those black-clad thugs stop attacking Zhang Hao, but they even made way for him, behaving as obediently as his servants.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're so handsome!"

"I'm so envious. I wish I had that ability too."

"Uncle, could you lend me the Snake Mother's inner core so I can experience it and feel this sensation?"

Zhang Hao smiled. The Snake Mother's inner core had already been fused with the serpent's essence, so there was no way he could still experience it.

He made up some excuse to get by.

In the four corners of the main burial chamber, there was a large bronze mirror, and behind each bronze mirror was a stone door, behind which was another burial chamber.

Three of them have been opened so far. One contains a coral tree that erases people's memories, another is Wang Canghai's longevity laboratory, and the third contains the Snake Mother and Black Flying Child.

Now only one room remains unopened, and Zhang Hao is very curious about what might be inside.

So he walked straight to another corner of the tomb, bypassed the bronze mirror, stood in front of the stone door, and emitted a strange sound wave to locate the mechanism to open the stone door.

To others, Zhang Hao appeared to be simply standing in front of the stone gate, lost in thought, while he was doing these things.

After locating the mechanism, he was preparing to open the stone door.

At this moment, Zhang Qilin stepped forward and ran his two long fingers across the stone gate.

Zhang Hao knew that he was using the "Tomb Raider's Finger" technique to find the mechanism to open the stone door.

The Falconer's Gate is said to be able to crack all mechanisms in the world, and its reputation is not undeserved.

However, it is still far inferior to Zhang Hao's sound wave positioning ability.

The ability of a "faqiu" (发丘) to sense mechanisms has a limited range, unlike sound wave positioning, which can detect any location that sound can penetrate.

Zhang Qilin quickly located the mechanism and triggered it.

"Rumble..."

As a mechanical turning sound rang out, the stone door slowly opened from the inside out.

The moment the stone door opened, a plume of white smoke billowed out from within.

As the smoke dissipated, a huge stone coffin was seen in the tomb chamber. At each of the four corners of the coffin was a dragon head with its mouth wide open, but there were no dragon pearls in the dragon's mouth; it was empty.

"This should be Wang Canghai's coffin."

"I never expected him to hide himself so well."

"If there's a coffin, doesn't that mean his immortality experiment ultimately failed?"

……

The group entered the tomb chamber with questions in their minds.

As soon as they stepped into the tomb, four fist-sized stone balls rolled out from the four corners of the stone coffin and fell down.

The stone ball fell right into the dragon's mouth.

"Rumble..."

Another mechanical turning sound rang out, followed by a "bang," and the stone coffin opened automatically.

Zhang Hao frowned. Since ancient times, no matter which ancient tomb it was, the tomb owner would do everything possible to prevent the tomb from being robbed. He had never heard of anyone voluntarily opening the coffin.

The stone coffin in the tomb is now opening automatically; there must be something fishy going on.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, a rich aroma wafted over, just like the sweet smell of peaches, but much stronger.

"Holy crap, that's a peach tree up ahead!"

"The Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality bloom every thousand years, bear fruit every thousand years, and ripen every thousand years. Eating just one can transform a person and allow them to ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"

"There are so many ripe peaches on this tree!"

……

Before Zhang Hao could figure out what was going on, a series of exclamations came from around him.

Whether it was Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, or Ding Yudie, they all drooled as they looked in the direction of the stone coffin.

Suddenly they rushed toward the stone coffin like madmen.

Only Zhang Qilin remained motionless, his expression pained.

The others rushed over, one hand on the stone coffin, the other reaching into it.

He pulled out a piece of rotting flesh and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

There was clearly a stone coffin in front of us, not some peach tree.

At this point, Zhang Hao could no longer fail to understand that they had all been tricked and trapped in an illusion.

Wu Tianzhen carefully took a piece of rotting flesh and ran back to put it to Zhang Hao's mouth.

"Uncle, these are peaches of immortality. Eat them quickly, and we can become immortals together."

Zhang Hao was both amused and exasperated. Wu Tianzhen was already trapped in the illusion, yet she still remembered to share the benefits with him.

He bit his finger and smeared a drop of Qilin blood onto Wu Tianzhen's lips.

Then he rushed toward the stone coffin and smeared the Qilin's blood onto the lips of the others.

The moment the Qilin blood touched their lips, they instantly regained consciousness.

They gagged incessantly when they saw the rotting flesh that was already being placed in their mouths.

"vomit……"

"What the hell just happened?"

"How could I have such a weird thing in my hands?!"

Once they regained their senses, the group hurriedly dropped what they were holding and then wiped their hands repeatedly on their clothes.

At this moment, Zhang Qilin also regained consciousness.

He approached the stone coffin and glanced inside, then frowned.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?"

Zhang Hao asked.

"This is a specially treated corpse that can induce hallucinations."

"Ah."

Zhang Hao nodded. He knew that Zhang Qilin was definitely not telling the truth and was hiding some important information.

However, if he is unwilling to talk about it, asking again will not yield any results.

Since that's the case, Zhang Hao didn't bother to ask further. He would naturally tell him when the time was right.

"Damn it, Wang Canghai is disgusting. He almost made Fatty eat human flesh. This thing is just a nuisance. Let Fatty burn it."

"Wait, the air in the tomb is limited. Are you trying to kill yourself by burning the corpse now?!"

The fat man was so angry that he wanted to burn the body, but Zhang Hao stopped him.

“Brother Zhang Hao is right. That Wang Canghai is really cunning. He went to so much trouble to build the shipwreck tomb, but there’s no body inside. Do you think his immortality experiment might have succeeded?”

"Fatty, there's no such thing as immortality in the world. Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and pacified the world, which was a huge achievement, but he didn't achieve immortality in the end."

"What could Wang Canghai possibly do that even Qin Shi Huang couldn't achieve?"

"Naive. How do you know Qin Shi Huang didn't live forever? Would an immortal person just stay in one place? Would he appear in front of people who know him?"

Zhang Hao, of course, supported the fat man. He believed in immortality, and regardless of others, he was at least one of those immortals.

As long as the Qilin bloodline continues to evolve, its lifespan can be extended indefinitely.

In addition, there are those who gain immortality by possessing the consciousness of others, or those who achieve immortality through human-animal symbiosis, and so on, with various other methods emerging one after another.

Wang Canghai might actually have researched a perfect method for achieving immortality and attained immortality himself.

Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that his body was not found in his tomb?
