The bald man carefully searched the corpse. After a while, he found a jade pendant from the lower part of the corpse's clothes.
This jade pendant had an ancient style and was entirely green. The pattern was actually a pine tree, and it looked very lifelike.
"Zhang Qingsong?"
Apart from Gu Chen, everyone's expression changed as if they had seen a ghost.
Gu Chen asked: "Who is Zhang Qingsong?"
"Seven thousand years ago, the Celestial Master of the Supreme Ultimate Immortal Sect! Rumor has it that he fell in love with a woman when he was young, and that woman gave him a jade pendant with a natural pine tree pattern. "
"Later on, that woman died in an accident. Celestial Master Zhang was too sad and saw through the world of mortals. He focused on cultivation and had an amazing achievement. Rumor has it that this jade pendant never left his body."
"Most importantly, there is a rumor in the Deep Demon Sea that Zhang Qingsong, in his old age, hid his brilliance and walked into the Heaven Crater Earth Eye for an unknown reason."
"This was originally just a rumor, and not many people believed it, but now …"
Elder Tan explained to Gu Chen.
"Oh? So this ancient corpse is Zhang Qingsong from seven thousand years ago, and he came back to life in a different way? "
Gu Chen was shocked and understood why everyone was so frightened.
Seven thousand years ago, a top expert of the Immortal Spirit Continent turned into an ancient corpse after his death, and they had experienced a life and death battle with him. Just thinking about it made them shudder.
Fortunately, the ancient corpse was no longer as strong as before. Otherwise, everyone would have died without a burial place.
"It seems like our previous guess was correct."
An old woman from Evil Men Ridge revealed a bitter smile. "Rumor has it that the peerless experts of the past, the ambitious and ruthless people who entered the Heavenly Cavern at the end of their lives, are coming out of the Heavenly Cavern one after another.
The old woman's words caused everyone's expression to become gloomy. From their conversation, Gu Chen knew that during this period of time, they had already dealt with many ancient corpses and discovered that many of them were famous cultivators in history.
These cultivators either disappeared mysteriously in their later years, or someone had seen them walk into the Heaven Crater Earth Eye in the depths of the Deep Demon Sea.
Originally, these were just some local legends of the Deep Demon Sea, and the locals didn't really believe them. As for the people from the other regions of the Immortal Spirit Continent, they thought that this was a rumor created by the Deep Demon Sea's demonic cultivators.
But now, it was proven in such a terrifying way that the ancient legend was not false!
Gu Chen's heart also rippled. He had heard Elder Tan talk about the secret of the Heaven Sinkhole and Earth Eye, but he didn't take it seriously at first. But now, the truth was in front of him.
This ancient corpse's understanding of the [Innate Eight Trigrams] was absolutely rare in this world. There was no doubt about his identity. Even if he wasn't Zhang Qingsong, he was definitely an almighty cultivator from the Tai Chi Immortal Sect.
The return of a dead Zhang Qingsong was already such a huge threat, and now, ancient corpses were continuously pouring out from the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye. A portion of them were once the peak of an era …
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine. A great disaster was about to befall them!
"If our guess is correct, we must tell all the cultivators of the Deep Devil Sea about this as soon as possible. Only by uniting will we be able to fight against these damned ancient corpses!"
Someone said in fear.
"What's the use of uniting? Don't forget how long the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye has existed. Since those legends are true, then the 68 immortals from the Heaven Burial Continent 85,555 years ago and the ancestor of the Gu Clan are probably also in the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye! "
"We're not even sure how many immortals there were in the past, and how many of them will be resurrected?"
Another person's words made everyone's scalp tingle, and even Gu Chen was touched.
When he was in the Penglai Deity Island, he had heard from the Penglai Island Master that the 68 immortals and the ancestor of the Gu Clan had mysteriously disappeared not long after crossing from the Heaven Burial Continent to the Primordial Continent.
He had always been curious about how such peerless experts could disappear for no reason. Now, according to this group of people, the ancestor of the Gu Clan and the 68 immortals had actually walked into the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye.
What was in the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye that could attract so many experts from different eras to step into it? And what happened that caused so many experts to be resurrected?
No one would believe this if they didn't see it with their own eyes. Many of the Dharmakaya masters present were terrified.
"We have to escape from the Deep Demon Sea!"
"Humph! Do you think there's a place for us in other parts of the continent? Don't forget that many of us are wanted by the 68 Immortal Sects. "
"The Deep Demon Sea is my territory. Even if we die, we have to die here!"
Many cultivators quickly started arguing about whether to stay or leave. The eight villains present belonged to the Vile Ridge, and the rest represented many powerful forces in the Deep Demon Sea.
They had originally come here to investigate because their people had been attacked in the depths of the Deep Demon Sea. Who would have thought that they would end up together because of the ancient corpses? Now, they had become a community with a common destiny.
Facing the mysterious ancient corpse tide, everyone had a different attitude. In addition, none of the forces were willing to submit to each other, so they couldn't come to an agreement for a while.
Seeing that it was difficult to come to a conclusion in a short time, Elder Tan and the other two cultivators from the Vile Ridge walked to the side with Gu Chen.
"Thank you for your help today, little friend. My name is Ruan Ji, and I'm the current leader of the Vile Ridge."
An old man with a scar at the corner of his eye and a shrewd appearance took the initiative to introduce himself to Gu Chen to express his gratitude.
"You don't have to be so polite, Fellow Daoist. I also have something to ask of you, so I hope you can answer my next question."
Gu Chen said politely.
"Ask away, little friend. I'll tell you everything I know!"
Ruan Ji said straightforwardly. Gu Chen could be said to have saved all of them today. This was a life-saving grace. Not to mention answering questions, it wouldn't be too much to ask for something.
Thus, Gu Chen stated his purpose of coming here.
"Two years ago, we did bring some people to the depths, but there didn't seem to be any Gu clansmen among them."
Ruan Ji and his companion looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
Gu Chen frowned. "Are you not willing to tell me the truth?"
Elder Tan looked at Gu Chen and recalled that on the way to Deer Harbor Ancient City, Gu Chen had asked about the Gu clansmen's massacre in Deer Harbor Ancient City two years ago. Elder Tan couldn't help but make some guesses about his identity.
"Little friend, we really don't have any memory of bringing a Gu clansman into the depths. Where did you get your information from?"
Ruan Ji smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to repay the kindness, but he didn't expect to make Gu Chen suspicious instead.
Gu Chen raised Big Head Mo. When the others heard this, they shook their heads.
"What the hell is this Big Head doing? Why is he spreading rumors and causing our benefactor to suspect us?"
"Speaking of which, if it wasn't for him spreading rumors, little friend wouldn't have come to save us. I'm afraid …"
As the few of them conversed, they vaguely understood what Big Head Mo meant.
The other party had been friends with them for a long time. Could it be that he knew they were in trouble, so he specially sent this little friend to save them?
