System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Yes, Third Master!"

Pan Zi responded and walked up to the platform, approaching the coffin to begin his inspection.

This is a stone coffin about three meters long and one and a half meters wide, with some strange beasts that have never been seen before carved on it.

Pan Zi walked around the coffin a few times, tapped and banged on it, and then called out to everyone, "No problem, everyone come over."

Uncle Wu went over when he heard Pan Zi call out to him. When he saw Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen following, he immediately stopped them.

"You two kids shouldn't come any closer, lest something dangerous happens."

"Third Brother, I can take care of myself."

"Third Uncle, didn't Panzi already check that there were no traps or mechanisms?"

Uncle Wu always treated Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen as juniors, but he overlooked Zhang Hao's formidable strength.

It was only then that I realized what had happened.

"Xiao Hao is indeed very strong. You should follow him. Tianzhen should not get close to avoid danger."

Seeing that Uncle Wu was saying this, Wu Tianzhen had no choice but to ask Zhang Hao for help: "Uncle, please try to persuade Uncle Wu."

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Naive. Third Uncle is right. You should stay here and wait until you're sure there's no danger before you go over."

With Zhang Hao saying this, Wu Tianzhen had no choice but to stay put and wait.

Uncle Wu, Zhang Hao, Zhang Qilin, Da Kui and the others went up to the stone coffin on the high platform to prepare to open it.

"stop!"

Sensing danger, Zhang Hao was about to speak up to stop everyone from opening the coffin when Zhang Qilin spoke up to stop him first.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?"

Zhang Qilin did not answer, but instead walked down from the platform to the kneeling statue of the lamp-lighting child.

He held the lamp-lighting boy's head in both hands and turned him half a circle to the left, then walked towards the lamp-lighting boy in another direction.

He turned each of the lamp-lighting child statues several times, but the direction and amplitude of each turn were different.

When he finished doing all this and returned to the stone coffin, everyone heard the sound of water cascading down.

After the sound of flowing water disappeared, Zhang Qilin drew his black gold ancient sword again and inserted the tip into the gap in the coffin.

He then pulled the ancient sword forcefully, circling the stone coffin once.

Immediately afterwards, he struck the stone coffin with a palm, and with a "boom," the coffin lid detached from the coffin, flew several meters away, and fell to the ground.

Everyone around immediately looked into the stone coffin.

There was nothing in the coffin except for a tortoise shell the size of a palm.

"Normally, even if there's no corpse in a tomb, there will be clothes worn by the deceased during their lifetime. Why is there a tortoise shell here?"

Pan Zi looked puzzled when he saw the contents of the stone coffin.

Da Kui, who was full of expectations that the room would be full of treasures, was also greatly disappointed.

Zhang Hao bent down and took the tortoise shell out of the stone coffin. Some pictographs were carved on it.

"Tianzhen, come here quickly and see what's written on it!"

Tianzhen had been itching to see the coffin opened, and upon hearing the call, he hurriedly rushed over.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Take a look at what's written on this tortoise shell."

"Okay, Uncle."

Wu Tianzhen responded and picked up the tortoise shell to study it.

"Naive, is the location of the exit recorded on it?"

After a long while, Wu Tianzhen still didn't react, so Pan Zi couldn't help but ask her.

"The information has no exit; it contains information about God."

"god?"

"Does God really exist?"

Everyone was shocked when Wu Tianzhen mentioned gods. Although gods have always existed in legends, no one has ever seen one since ancient times.

"They are called gods, but they are not immortal. Their lifespan is also limited. They have studied many ways to achieve immortality, but they have all failed."

Later, they developed a way to possess other people's consciousness and memories, thereby achieving immortality.

However, this method also has its drawbacks. After occupying a new body for a period of time, the person will die, and the body will emit a foul odor, requiring a replacement body.

Guiguzi possessed extraordinary abilities that transcended heaven and earth. During one of his explorations, the consciousness of a god entered his body and struggled with him for control of his body.

He understood that if his body were taken over, it would be a fatal blow to the world.

In order to completely extinguish the consciousness within him, he had no choice but to end his life by being struck by lightning, his body completely destroyed.

Zhang Hao was shocked when he heard Wu Tianzhen's explanation.

This information coincides with the words left behind by the tomb raider.

Both describe people who, in pursuit of immortality, use their consciousness to possess the bodies of others.

Guiguzi possessed extraordinary abilities, and historical records show that he had countless disciples with known names, including Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, Mao Sui, and many more.

If someone else takes over your body, it can indeed lead to disaster.

Besides him, the Faqiu Sect, which had a history of thousands of years, was also wiped out because of this group of people.

Where did these special people, whom Guiguzi called gods, come from? Even powerful figures like Guizi and the ancient Faqiu sect, which has a history of thousands of years, are helpless against them.

After thousands of years of development, how powerful have they become today?

Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

If the seal of the tomb raiders is on your own hand, one day these people will come looking for you.

We must improve our strength as soon as possible and reach a sufficient level.

The fastest way to increase your strength is to go into more tombs and get as many fusion attempts as possible. As long as you have fusion attempts, you can continuously become stronger.

"Crash..."

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water came from the tomb, and at the same time, a strange smell filled the air.

Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the mouths of the lamp-lighting boys surrounding the stone coffin had opened at some point, and thick columns of mercury were gushing out from them.

In a short while, the mercury had reached the same height as the high platform in the middle of the tomb.

At this rate, the tomb will soon be filled with mercury.

Mercury is highly toxic, let alone being submerged in mercury; there is absolutely no chance of survival.

"Quick, jump into the coffin!"

When Zhang Hao saw that Zhang Qilin had already taken the coffin lid back and placed it on the stone coffin, he immediately understood his meaning.

Mercury has a very high density; even something as heavy as a stone coffin would definitely float on it, given its size and weight.

Zhang Qilin is reminding everyone to hide inside the stone coffin.

After Zhang Hao's reminder and seeing Zhang Qilin's actions, everyone instantly understood and jumped into the stone coffin as quickly as possible.

While everyone was busy escaping, Zhang Hao began to quickly search the treasures in the grid on the wall. As long as you touched them, they would be put into your storage space.

In the blink of an eye, he had stored most of those treasures into his storage space.

Seeing that the walls were moving again, Zhang Hao knew that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to get out, so he jumped into the coffin as well.

Fortunately, he knew he didn't have enough time to take everything with him, so the items stored in his storage space were all high-quality, while the remaining small portion consisted of the relatively lower-quality items from this batch of treasures.

Once everyone was inside, Zhang Qilin braced his hands on the coffin lid and pushed it back forcefully, sealing the coffin completely.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao felt a tremendous lifting force coming from below the coffin, propelling the stone coffin upwards rapidly.

Soon after, the stone coffin began to rotate, making one feel dizzy and disoriented.

It's unclear how much time passed, but when Zhang Qilin opened the stone coffin again, everyone found that they had emerged from the ancient tomb.

The stone coffin is floating on the river.

Looking around, they could see the towering Jiulong Ridge, and by this time they had crossed the river cave to reach the other side of Jiulong Ridge.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully clearing the Guiguzi Tomb. You are rewarded with 3 chances to fuse all things.]
