Before, within that mural, they had already seen that these White Jade Tablets had fallen from the heavens and were connected to that mysterious gateway the Human Emperor had entered.
At once, many people's eyes lit up as they stared fixedly at the tablets.
But while they looked at the tablets with shining eyes, those dried corpses regarded Su Xin and the others with even greedier gazes.
"Heh heh heh! A pack of Yang Spirit Realm juniors wants the things in our hands? You overestimate yourselves! But fine—such fresh blood and flesh, we haven't seen any in nearly ten thousand years. Ah, how we miss that feeling."
Great Emperor of Northern Ziwei and the others widened their eyes as they looked at those dried corpses.
Nearly ten thousand years? Yang Spirit Realm juniors? Could these neither-human-nor-ghostly things be the True Martial Realm experts from the Nine Departments of Arms back then!?
Only True Martial Realm existences would dare call Great Emperor of Northern Ziwei and the others juniors. These things that looked neither human nor ghost had once been True Martial Realm experts?
Of course, the most eye-catching words were "nearly ten thousand years." Had these creatures truly survived from the ancient era until now?
Even among True Martial Realm experts, the longest known lifespan was no more than five hundred years. To live for nearly ten thousand years—this could practically be called immortality.
Sensing that Great Emperor of Northern Ziwei and the others had fixed their eyes on the White Jade Tablets in their hands, the dried corpses immediately burst into laughter, their voices brimming with mockery.
"We have lived for nearly ten thousand years. You juniors must be terribly envious, no? Unfortunately, you are still far, far removed from that realm.
