Chapter 160: The Bone-Grown Blue Fan

"Hiding so deep and yet unable to escape for more than two months." Zhu Gaoyang entered the stone cave, looked up at the skeleton, "It should have been clear to your father when he took on this task that, whether successful or not, it would be his death sentence."

He took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then slowly peeled off the decayed clothes, fully revealing the skeleton.

The dull jade color of a cultivator who had completed the Spiritual Mystery Tuan Shen after death signifies the gradual dispersal of Spiritual Mystery with time. As the flesh rots away, the bones turn into another substance, preserving their integrity over long periods, even as the Spiritual Mystery within them slowly dissipates.
