My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

"Huh? Weird, where's this guy's head?"

Chen Ze observed carefully and did not find any wound on the skeleton's neck, so Chen Ze was so confused. After all, according to the previous script, Chen Xi's head should have been hung on the skeleton's neck.

However, there was no wound on the neck of this skeleton. Except for the missing head, other aspects were no different from a normal skeleton.

Chen Ze wanted to check if there were any treasures hidden anywhere else on the bones, but he found nothing. Apart from the jade-colored luster, there was nothing valuable on the skeleton.

"Forget it, no matter who this guy is, his coffin can't be opened anyway. I might as well go and see if there is any treasure in the coffin!" Chen Ze muttered to himself.

After saying that, Chen Ze began to pry open the coffin lid.

It has to be said that Chen Ze is very strong. Even though the coffin lid is very thick, Chen Ze can still dismantle it with brute force.

After a while, the coffin lid was completely opened, but to Chen Ze's disappointment, the coffin was still empty and there was no gain at all.

"Oh my god!" Chen Ze sighed, "This is a fucking tomb! Where does the treasure come from?"

Chen Ze began to doubt his life.

"Forget it, I won't look for it anymore. I'll bring my team to dig up this mountain tomorrow. Maybe I'll find something unexpected!"

Chen Ze felt that he had lost money on this trip here. He didn't make a penny and almost lost his life.

"Huh? Why are there words here?" Just as Chen Ze was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that there were words written inside the coffin, but due to the angle, Chen Ze could only vaguely see the words.

Chen Ze held his breath and observed carefully. Soon, he found that the handwriting looked very much like words, and from these words he could tell that these words were recorded in ancient seal characters.

Chen Ze held the dagger and began to read it stroke by stroke. The more he read, the more shocked he was, because what Chen Ze read was almost the same as the last words left by the owner of the jade skeleton he had just seen. These things were all related to the "Tao Te Ching".

There was a passage in it that caught Chen Ze's interest. It said: "I am Yuanshi Tianzun, the founder of Taoism. I once established the order of the three realms, but the heaven collapsed and demons were rampant.
Unfortunately, I died in the place where demons were sealed. This is my lifelong regret!
In order to protect the peace of the heaven, I sealed the demon here, hoping that it would never dare to cause trouble again. However, today I found that the demon here broke the seal and killed countless mortals. I couldn't bear it, so I turned this place into a forbidden area and ordered all the immortals to guard this place and not let it be disturbed by evil. Do you know your sins?"

After reading this sentence, Chen Ze fell into deep thought. This passage contained a lot of information!

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the owner of the skeleton in front of us is most likely Yuanshi Tianzun, the founder of Taoism during the Three Kingdoms period.

At least a saint-level existence.

But Chen Ze didn’t understand why Yuanshi Tianzun built a tomb here.

Chen Ze had also heard some rumors that Yuanshi Tianzun had a disciple named Lu Dongbin, who was known to be the strongest among the Three Realms and Four Emperors, and was the legendary Erlang Zhenjun.

Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple, Tongtian Jiaozhu, is known as the deputy leader of the Chan sect.

However, it has never been confirmed by later generations, and no one has ever heard of anyone seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple. After all, Yuanshi Tianzun had been dead for a long time at that time. Even if there is a living Yuanshi Tianzun now, he is probably a thousand-year-old antique and has long since become a spirit.

Chen Ze put the dagger back into his backpack, then picked up the skeleton and prepared to walk to the top of the mountain.

But just as Chen Ze took two steps, he suddenly felt a violent tremor in his spine.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force attacked Chen Ze's spine.

boom!
Chen Ze's body flew up instantly and crashed into the grass in the distance.

Chen Ze lay in the grass and struggled for several seconds before getting up.

"Fuck, I was actually knocked down by a skeleton?"

Chen Ze was stunned. The huge force just now was simply unbelievable.

Chen Ze was unwilling to give up, so he rushed towards the skeleton tentatively again.

bang~
The ending was still the same as before, Chen Ze was defeated again.

This time Chen Ze was kicked away.

Chen Ze didn't believe it and tried to pounce on the skeleton again.

Boom~
This time, Chen Ze was catapulted to the stone tablet on the cliff before he stopped. Chen Ze rubbed his waist which was hurt by the collision, and then approached the skeleton carefully.

Chen Ze looked at the stone tablet erected in front of the skeleton's skull. This time, Chen Ze did not dare to move rashly.

Because Chen Ze just tried to approach the skeleton tentatively, but was bounced back, which means that Chen Ze's strength is not enough to shake the skeleton.

"Could it be that this skeleton is not a physical body? But a soul?" Chen Ze guessed. Only this explanation could explain why he was being backlashed.

"Never mind, let's study the words on this stone tablet first and see if we can learn them."

Chen Ze decided to give up moving the body and instead focused his attention on the words on the stone tablet in front of him.

Chen Ze recorded every symbol on the stone tablet.

What frustrates Chen Ze is that although he recorded every symbol, he couldn't even understand the punctuation marks.

Because these characters are not Chinese characters at all.

This made Chen Ze so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Why do you put an alien text here?
"Never mind, let's put these things in the backpack and take them with us. I'll go back and study them slowly. There will always be a way to decipher it." Chen Ze finally decided to take these stone tablets away.

Chen Ze first copied all the symbols on the stone tablet onto paper, and then began to pack them. After packing, Chen Ze carried the boxes and returned along the original route.

Just after leaving the canyon, Chen Ze's eyes suddenly locked onto a stream deep in the canyon. The source of the stream was the end of the canyon.

"Could it be..." Chen Ze remembered the river deep in the canyon.

Chen Ze wanted to go over and find out what was going on, so he swam along the stream to the shore. Standing by the stream, he looked into the bottomless abyss.

In the end, Chen Ze decided to take the risk and jumped into the stream.

"Fuck, it's too cold!" Chen Zegang fell into the stream and immediately started shivering.

The stream water was so cold that it seemed to be freezing Chen Ze's skin.

Chen Ze gritted his teeth and swam downstream.

He did not give up, but walked downstream along the riverbed. Chen Ze found that the river was about five or six hundred meters long.

Chen Ze reached the end of the riverbed with difficulty.

At the end of the riverbed there is a huge stone slab covered with dense handwriting.

Chen Ze walked to the stone slab, and after seeing the contents on it clearly, he was completely stunned.

"Is this the secret technique of Taoism?" Chen Ze opened his mouth wide.

What is engraved on the stone slab is the Taoist practice - Tao Te Ching.

Moreover, Chen Ze recognized at a glance that this set of exercises was the first two volumes of "The True Scripture of Tai Chi".

However, this technique was completely different from what Chen Ze had imagined. It did not produce the Nascent Soul or Golden Elixir, let alone the pressure of the Nascent Soul or Golden Elixir, or even the pressure of the Qi training realm.

Chen Ze thought that this "Tai Chi Sutra" should be fake, but after thinking about it, Chen Ze decided to take it away. What if it is real?
But when Chen Ze reached out and touched the stone slab, a stinging pain spread from the palm of his hand throughout his body. The pain was no less than being burned by fire.

Chen Ze screamed and quickly retracted his hand.

Then Chen Ze found himself soaked and covered in black smoke.

Chen Ze was so scared that he didn't know what to do.

Chen Ze rubbed the black mist off his face with his hands, and he felt his facial muscles twitching.

Chen Ze touched the black substance that had just touched the stone slab with his finger, and was surprised to find that his index finger was corroded.

Chen Ze quickly shook his right hand, and sure enough, his right index finger had turned completely black. (End of this chapter)
