Walking forward, Qingfeng Li transformed into a gust of wind, arriving before the black jar instantly.

He unleashed his spirit energy, wanting to sense what was actually inside the black jar. "Could it really be the Holy Marrow Liquid?"

Unfortunately, the black jar reflected back his spirit energy the moment it entered.

The black jar was definitely strange.

Qingfeng Li looked towards the black jar but saw it was nothing out of the ordinary. When he first entered the treasure cove, he thought that it was just a simple wine jar and completely disregarded its existence.

Not only did Qingfeng Li see the black jar as some sort of jar for wine, Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu, and the others did also. No one expected for it to contain the Holy Marrow Liquid.

Channeling his clairvoyance ability, his right eye emitted a golden radiance. Traveling through dimensions, his eye could see the liquid inside the black jar. The liquid was golden but transparent, and it contained a saint-level talisman scripture.

After a moment of looking, Qingfeng Li felt a strain in his eyes. Even his clairvoyance couldn't hold out for too long.

He withdrew his vision and took a step back, rubbing his eyes to relieve the strain he felt.

Qingfeng Li looked at the Treasure-Hunting Mouse and praised, "You are truly blessed by the heavens, the best at finding treasures! I can't believe you found the Holy Marrow Liquid so easily."

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse said excitedly, "Of course! This is my first gift to master. It's also my first gift to Little Apple."

Ruyan Liu was also delighted. She was always worried about her daughter's safety. Although Little Apple possessed immortal bloodlines, they were never activated.

With the Holy Marrow Liquid, she could awaken her bloodline powers. Then, an attack on her would bounce off of her body, similar to that of a powerful saint level defensive light veil.

Qingfeng Li had brought both Ruyan Liu and Little Apple to the Forbidden Ground of Nine-headed Demonic Dao specifically for the reason of finding treasures for Little Apple. Now that he'd discovered the Holy Marrow Liquid, he was ecstatic.

Qingfeng Li turned to the Treasure-Hunting Mouse and said, "Back away, I'm going to open the jar."

Nodding, the soul of the Treasure-Hunting Mouse floated to an area behind Qingfeng Li, still far away from Black Puppy.

Qingfeng Li reached out his hand and unleashed powerful energy onto the cap of the jar.

But the jar was sealed tight, its lid immovable even by the saint level strength of Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li was bewildered by the jar. He immediately began to channel his Mortal Purgatory Body Technique unleashing 50,000,000 kilograms of force onto the lid of the jar, but still to no avail.

Qingfeng Li thought to himself, "Strange, why is a jar unopenable?"

After another few tries, Qingfeng Li still couldn't open the jar. No matter what method he used, its lid was completely shut tight.

Qingfeng Li felt dejected. He needed to open the jar to get to the Holy Marrow Liquid for Little Apple. How was he supposed to get the Holy Marrow Liquid if he couldn't even open the lid?

Qingfeng Li looked at the lid closely, discovering a unique material he had never seen before. It was also carved with many intricate patterns of flowers.

The flower patterns were similar to totems but also similar to tributes, ancient as could be, likely dating back more than 100,000 years.

Qingfeng Li couldn't decipher its patterns. The jar did belong to the ancient era after all, and other than the information learned from the Dark Night Emperor, he wasn't all too familiar with the subject.

Looking at the Treasure-Hunting Mouse, Qingfeng Li asked, "Since you found the Holy Marrow Liquid, can you figure out what material the jar is made of? Why is it so tough to open even for me?"

The Soul of the Treasure-Hunting Mouse flew towards the jar and perused over its details.

After a moment, the Treasure-Hunting Mouse looked both surprised and delighted.

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse began to explain, "Master, the jar is made from black holy soil, an extremely powerful and rare material. Creating a jar of this size would've required someone of the peak level saint realm. I can't believe we're in its presence."

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and said, "So what you're saying is, only a peak level saint can open this jar? None of us is are at that level yet."

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse nodded and said, "Logically speaking, yes, it would require a peak-stage saint to open the jar. However, if a person is fated for the Holy Marrow Liquid, they can easily open it as well."

Qingfeng Li nodded, knowing full-well the logic behind the Treasure-Hunting Mouse's explanation. For certain precious treasures of heavens and earth, obtaining them entirely depended on fate, not ability.

Qingfeng Li knew that he wasn't fated for the Holy Marrow Liquid. This was why he couldn't open the black jar.

He turned to Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu, and the others and said, "You guys have a try too. See if you can open the jar and obtain the Holy Marrow Liquid."

With elegant steps, Xue Lin was the first to step forward. She was now extremely powerful, and she had awakened a majority of her phoenix bloodline.

Xue Lin stood atop the jar, channeling her Phoenix Immortal Chant, looking as if she was a rising phoenix, unleashing a call.

As soon as Xue Lin unleashed her phoenix energies, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake both backed away. As for the Treasure-Hunting Mouse, it was so afraid it knelt to the ground.

"Wow, it's the legendary divine beast, the Phoenix! It's one of the masters of the universe's three thousand Grand Worlds! Why is it here?!" The Treasure-Hunting Mouse exclaimed, his eyes gawking at the sight.

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse had clearly heard Qingfeng Li call Xue Lin his wife. Being alive for more than 100,000 years, the mouse had never heard of a woman possessing the phoenix bloodline having a husband. Unless, of course, she was married to the legendary Sky Emperor.

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse shivered at the thought of the Sky Emperor, too afraid to think any further.

The Sky Emperor had the power to build heavens. He was the all-mighty master of the universe, the most powerful being of all. Under normal circumstances, he would never appear. Once he appeared, something big would happen in the universe.
