The method to break the seals of the Forbidden Land is intricately linked to these remains. According to Zhener—who, in turn, heard it from 'Su'—after the Fire God and others became aware that their time was nearing an end, they crafted the Earth Heart Tower as their tomb. However, after being lost in emptiness for countless years, they still carried the desire to return to their roots and be buried in their homeland.

Thus, they bound the Array to themselves such that once their remains were taken out of the Forbidden Land, the seal on the place would naturally be broken. Moreover, when their remains are removed from the Divine Fire Domain, the Array of the Earth Heart Tower shall shatter, and the nine guardians of the tower shall perish alongside its collapse.

So, Shi Chun had never quite understood what Zhener was aiming for. Without exceptional abilities, who would dare to help her break the Array? Situ Gu keeping his word seemed utterly impossible.

Shi Chun himself couldn't make sense of what the deceased titans inside the tower were thinking. If they desired for their souls to return to their homeland, why summon such terrifying entities to guard their graves? With these powerful guardians standing watch, they effectively cut off most possibilities of returning.

If the people outside weren't so fearful of these intimidating presences, the deceased titans probably would have already been returned to their homeland.

Nevertheless, those deceased titans weren't entirely unreasonable; they didn't expect people to help them for free. Before dying, they used a Secret Technique to inscribe their Cultivation Methods onto the bones of their own remains. As long as their remains are preserved, their Cultivation Methods shall remain intact. If one does not treasure their remains, they can forget about easily obtaining their Cultivation Methods within a short time.

Logically speaking, taking the remains away for careful study would certainly be the safer approach.

With so many titans' Cultivation Techniques, surely one of them would suit the recipient.

In addition, some personal belongings of the titans would also be given to the kind-hearted individuals who helped, as tokens of gratitude.

Shi Chun couldn't help but circle around the remains to inspect them. He had to marvel at the exceptional physical bodies of those in the Saint-reaching Realm. Despite countless years passing, their flesh—though dried and shriveled—remained so well-preserved.

Of course, his focus wasn't on their physical bodies but rather the objects on them.

Items? He couldn't find any clothes or jewelry on the corpses.

The horned remains before him were the legendary Fire God, rumored to be the offspring of a human and a dragon, and the foremost expert in the Divine Fire Domain back in the day.

Learning this from Zhener, Shi Chun harbored great expectations for the relics of this figure. But what was the meaning of their stark nudity?

Unacceptable! Shi Chun directly reached out, giving the remains a push. They were surprisingly easy to move, though they seemed slightly stuck to the ground; a little force was all it took to free them.

Scanning the surroundings, he found that moving the remains seemed to have no effect on the area. So, he continued manipulating the corpse to inspect it thoroughly.

The few onlookers gaped in astonishment, but Zhener seemingly grasped what Shi Chun was searching for.

However, Shi Chun came up empty-handed. Not even the spot beneath the remains was spared his scrutiny—even tapping to see if it sounded hollow. Solid ground. Nothing.

Only now did everyone realize he was clearly looking for something.

Suddenly energized, the group began combing the area: knocking on floors, walls, even the ceiling. The hall instantly resembled a bustling blacksmith shop, with Shi Chun being one of the busiest participants.

Li Hongjiu even stepped forward and used a spell to probe the corpse's insides. He found nothing noteworthy, let out a sigh, and shook his head in lament.

Although he didn't know who this individual was in life, he could imagine they were a master with cultivation reaching the heavens, yet had ultimately been reduced to nothing but a dry husk.

Turning to see Shi Chun scouring every corner with unusual enthusiasm, Li Hongjiu suspected there might be more to this than met the eye. Was there some secret Shi Chun knew? His curiosity sparked as he surveyed the room, then joined the group in their frantic rapping and probing.

Only Zhener remained still, quietly standing before the seated remains, her gaze deep and otherworldly. Her demeanor appeared entirely different from usual—it was as if memories had been stirred within her.

After endless searching bore no results, Shi Chun returned to the altar and whispered in Zhener's ear, "Didn't you say there would be some clothes or relics? Why is there nothing at all?"

Zhener seemed slightly bewildered but wasn't entirely clueless. She softly replied, "I don't know. Back then, before they sat here to pass away, there should've been something."

Shi Chun lowered his voice even further. "If there was, and the Eight Master couldn't have gotten in, who took it?"

"I don't know…" Zhener shook her head in confusion, then froze and hesitantly muttered a single word: "Su?"

Shi Chun instantly understood her implication. The original masters of the tower must have assumed 'Su' would perish like them during that dreadful period. What they didn't anticipate was 'Su' secretly leaving behind Zhener, thereby surviving a few years longer than the original masters.

This meant there was a possibility that 'Su' may have taken the relics from the Fire God's remains.

But Shi Chun was puzzled. If 'Su' couldn't escape the tower, why tamper with the corpses or take their relics?

He asked, "The clothes I'm wearing—where did you get them?"

Zhener answered, "When I had just gained my form, I found them on the eighth level guarded by the Eight Master."

"The eighth level…" Shi Chun murmured. He didn't rush but decided to check layer by layer.

Straight away, he placed the Fire God's remains into the newly acquired Qiankun Bag, along with the relics of Xu Anzhang and Youu Mu stored inside.

Though the Fire God's relics seemed lacking, upon closer inspection of the inscriptions on the Fire God's bones, Shi Chun discovered they indeed contained a complete Cultivation Method.

"Brother, why are you hauling off the remains?"

Li Hongjiu noticed and came over to ask. "You can't eat them, and they're no good for play. What, are you planning to turn them into medicine back home?"
