There was a Trait hidden within this human skeleton?
Hong Ming was slightly taken aback.
Though surprised, he quickly accepted it.
The situation before him was not uncommon; it had happened to Hong Yi before.
What he had not expected was that this Trait required such an enormous amount of Fortune—one thousand points.
If he wanted to gather that much, it would likely take several months of accumulation.
This Trait had a similar yet distinct charm to the previous Steel Tendons Iron Bones.
As Hong Ming examined the Trait's details, he realized it might be related to the human skeleton having cultivated the Eight Extremes Golden Body as well.
He looked at the skeleton, corroded by who knew how many years of time, deep in thought.
He wondered just how powerful this person had been in life. Even after so many years of death, the bones had lasted longer than those of ordinary martial artists.
"Organ Refinement, Viscera Refinement... these must be the cultivation realms beyond the Eight Extremes Golden Body!"
Hong Ming made this deduction, and his expression suddenly stiffened.
He abruptly realized that the Eight Extremes Golden Body he currently cultivated only had four layers.
After reaching the Iron Bones realm, he could no longer continue cultivating it.
Could the later portions of the Eight Extremes Golden Body technique be hidden somewhere on this predecessor's body?
Hong Ming searched carefully, but found nothing.
Then he looked toward the skeleton's brow. This was precisely the key that had originally allowed him to unlock the Eight Extremes Golden Body.
Yet the strand of red light at its brow had already gone out.
This meant that even if he found the later portions of the Eight Extremes Golden Body, he might not be able to unlock or cultivate them.
Forget it.
