Ye Han walked into the depths of the enormous pit and discovered a Water Spirit Coffin inside...
Rotten shelves and collapsed stones surrounded the Water Spirit Coffin, everything broken and battered, steeped in an air of decay.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the Water Spirit Coffin had already dried up. A skeleton still lay inside, its flesh and blood completely rotted away.
That faint glimmer of spirit light was coming from within the skeleton.
It was a Starry Sky Stone bearing a tiny crescent moon!
The sight stirred a sigh of emotion in Ye Han. Clearly, this cave was incredibly ancient, perhaps several million years old.
After all, any cultivator capable of entering the Central Star Palace Temple had to have reached at least the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The bodies and skeletons of cultivators at that level were already akin to extraordinary treasures. It was perfectly normal for their bodies to remain intact for ten thousand years.
