In the Mo Family's secret chamber, besides the ice coffin, the rabbits also discovered a skeleton.
The skeleton was in a ditation posture, with an object resembling a golden core inside it.
Later, the skeleton along with the ice coffin was brought back to the base, and its identity was confird through technical ans:
The Mo Family's third ancestor Mo Shaonan, or rather...
Mo Peidong.
As Mo Peidong's identity was confird, a series of mysteries erged:
For instance, why did he die in the secret chamber?
A Fifth-Layer Core Formation Realm cultivator, theoretically at ninety-sothing, was at the pri of his life and shouldn't have died suddenly due to age.
Not to ntion Fifth-Layer Core Formation Realm, have you not seen how many ninety-sothing long-distance runners are still competing for championships, both locally and internationally?
Besides that.
Where Mo Peidong found the ice coffin and the slate, among other mysteries....
Of course.
There's also the whereabouts of the unremarkable Wu Fan recalled due to the slate...
Aside from the above mysteries, the most unusual was another situation:
The skeleton's bones were entirely pitch-black, like charcoal.
Normally, human bones are white.
Even for Fei Qiu and those with dark skin like night, beneath that layer of dark exterior lies a European.
The reason most bones are white is that their main component is hydroxyapatite.
That is, calcium phosphate.
For the student, disregarding the first four words, just focus on the calcium at the end.
Substances containing a lot of calcium are generally white in color.
In nature, black-boned organisms do exist, such as the black-boned chicken.
The reason for this is not because Wuz is ineffective, but because the bones and flesh of the black-boned chicken contain eulanin and pheolanin, the latter also known as pseudo-eulanin.
When Mo Peidong's skeleton was brought back, the rabbits imdiately analyzed its bone composition—of course, for the sake of complete preservation, they tested the jawbone of the skeleton.
At that ti, for unknown reasons, this jawbone fell to the ground once the rabbits broke through the defensive barrier.
Conveniently being used by the rabbits, they collected and tested it.
The results showed that the skeleton contained no lanin or pseudo-lanin components, theoretically it should be white.
Since then.
The color of Mo Peidong's skeleton beca one of the puzzles in the camp, along with Patriarch Wei's na.
During the age testing, Wei Fan's team found that besides ED, Mo Peidong had no other health abnormalities before his death.
It even led to the thought that there might be a congenital black bone evolution exception in the Damo Realm.
But with Li Yan and others' discoveries...
This question seems to be explainable now.
Looking at the information on the report, Lin Li summarized:
"So, it could be said....
Mo Peidong might have absorbed black spiritual energy, and without black spirit stones in the secret chamber, his organs overloaded, leading to accidental death?
But that doesn't make sense, under such circumstances, the posture of the remains should show apparent signs of struggle.
It shouldn't be in such a peaceful ditation posture?"
In clinical dicine.
High adrenaline levels, besides heart burden, can cause other complications.
Like limb tremors, and chest tightness.
Although any of the above situations are generally ongoing processes, not sudden outbursts.
Which ans the human body has a certain reaction ti.
Even with sudden heart attacks, there is a brief mont where you clutch your chest.
This ti can be very short, five or six seconds or seven or eight seconds, but it does exist.
Excluding special cases, there are very few heart attack patients who die within half a second of onset.
Especially Mo Peidong, a Fifth-Layer Core Formation Realm cultivator.
For strong individuals at this level, even if black spiritual energy had irreversible harm, theoretically he should have shown so signs of struggle.
Such as leaving a posture of falling to the ground, or if conditions permit, leaving a note of hope or sothing.
But Mo Peidong's remains weren't like that.
His ditation posture was extrely serene; under a sowhat normal environnt, it could even be described as ascension or transformation.
Then Lin Li thought of sothing, pressed a button, and said to the assistant outside, Zhang Guanghua:
"Xiaozhang, please invite Patriarch Wei to co over."
Zhang Guanghua's reply ca quickly:
"Understood!"
Over the past period.
Wei Fan was sent back to the holand to be the chief instructor for fifty thousand Forbidden Army soldiers, saving funds for his Gatling spiritual energy bullets.
His father, Patriarch Wei, then took his place and ca to the camp to oversee the cultivators' practice there.
Don't forget.
There are quite a number of warriors from the holand, with over twenty thousand early arrivals in the Damo Realm here at the military base.
Thus, it didn't take long for Patriarch Wei to arrive at the command center:
"Captain Lin, I heard you have sothing urgent for this old man?"
Lin Li welcod him, gestured for Li Yan to pour tea, and said:
"Yes, there's sothing I need your help with."
Patriarch Wei received the tea with both hands, then sat upright like he was ready to die heroically, asking:
"No problem, how should this old man die this ti?
Just recently broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Fourth Layer, a cart-cracking illusion might be interesting...."
Lin Ziming: "...."
It seems the old patriarch misunderstood sothing?
He then cleared his throat and explained:
"Patriarch Wei, you misunderstood. This ti I'm asking for your advice on a question... not requiring you to act."
Lin Li's words were followed by a visibly awkward expression on Patriarch Wei's face.
Fortunately, he's soone who had been a patriarch, thick skin is a basic skill, so he quickly regained his calm deanor:
"Captain Lin, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask."
Lin Li nodded, then briefly introduced the situation with Mo Peidong's skeleton:
"...That's roughly the situation.
Therefore, I'm daring to ask Patriarch Wei, do cultivators in the Damo Realm encounter sudden changes during closed cultivation but cannot move at all?"
Patriarch Wei stroked his beard, his eyes flickering:
"While cultivators remain still in ordinary closed retreats, if an accident occurs, it shouldn't be that they cannot move at all...
I've seen Mo Peidong's skeleton personally.
It seems like he died in his sleep, not quite resembling a sudden illness."
Lin Li thought for a mont, then asked:
"If ordinary closed cultivation is impossible, how about during a breakthrough?
Wasn't Mo Peidong a Fifth-Layer Core Formation Realm cultivator, what if he was in the process of breaking through from Fifth Layer to Sixth Layer?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Wei decisively shook his head:
"A minor breakthrough wouldn't trigger obsession, when this old man was young, an elder from the clan at Foundation Establishnt Sixth Layer had unfortunately died due to obsession while breaking through from Sixth Layer to Seventh Layer.
I once saw his remains at that ti, lying on the ground ferociously, his body was seven to eight ters away from the ditation cushion.
There were obvious signs of struggle around.
Therefore, theoretically speaking.
It's hardly possible for a cultivator during retreat to encounter career-ending illness without being able to fight back...."
Patriarch Wei suddenly paused, a sparkle of uncertain enlightennt flickering in his eyes, as if he had thought of a possibility.
After a good while, he spoke in an unsure tone:
"Captain Lin, if you say there's any kind of irresistible external force situation during retreat, this old man indeed thinks of a possibility..."
