Thanks to the mystical perception bestowed upon him by the Power of Merit, Lu Chen managed to discover some clues after searching for a while.
Following the jade box"s directions, he walked along the tomb pa.s.sageway for less than a minute before arriving at the end of the tomb.There was only one stone chamber at the end. There were no other decorations or furnishings. It looked empty and simple.
If an ordinary tomb robber had the chance to enter this place, he would probably be scared by the scene in front of his eyes and start cursing.
He had spent so much effort to arrive at this place, yet he was looking forward to it. How could he not be disappointed and upset?"Little fox, is the jade box pointing in this direction? Could there be a mistake here?"
Lu Chen searched the entire stone room, but there was not a single trace of a rare treasure, so he couldn"t help but ask this.
Even though he knew the answer, he still couldn"t help but think that he was in the wrong direction, or that something had gone wrong.
"My lord, there should be no mistake!"
The little fox dispelled Lu Chen"s doubts without any hesitation and said with an even more determined tone:
"The aura that little fox is calculating from the jade box is definitely nearby!"
Lu Chen nodded: "Oh, if that"s the case, then I guess this place is hiding some kind of mysterious secret. I"ll look for it more carefully."
As Lu Chen spoke, he withdrew his mind and released his Spiritual Sense to once again observe the entire stone room.
He paced back and forth, trying to find a clue as to what was going on.As Lu Chen walked, he continued searching, his feet making "ka ka" sounds on the floor of the stone chamber.
The sound of these footsteps was very clear in this s.p.a.cious and quiet stone room.
Hearing this voice, Lu Chen"s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Then, Lu Chen stopped in his tracks, bent over to the ground, and used both of his hands to constantly beat the floor tiles in front of him.Under his strike, cracking sounds came from the floor tiles as well, echoing non-stop within the stone room.
Just like this, Lu Chen continued his carpet search, not leaving a single empty spot behind.
When he hit the southeast corner of the floor, the sound indeed changed.
His eyes suddenly lit up as he noticed something unusual.
The sound of the floor tiles in front of him was even more s.p.a.cious and not very thick.
There seemed to be some mystery underneath the floor tiles!
Lu Chen"s spirits were immediately lifted. He was prepared to pry open the floor tiles to investigate what was going on.
But he didn"t have any special tools with him, so it was still a bit troublesome.
However, he did not hesitate and immediately gathered all the Zhen Qi in his body into his palm, and then slapped it with his palm.The vigorous Zhen Qi shot towards the floor tiles with all of its strength, and the force of the palm broke through the air, echoing in the air.
Unexpectedly, his palm suddenly landed on the floor tiles, and one after another strange rune began to appear on the floor tiles!Then, one rune after another quickly overlaid and enveloped the floor tile.
These runes seemed to be protecting the things inside the floor tiles, while simultaneously blocking Lu Chen"s attacks.
Even though Lu Chen"s zhenqi wasn"t that strong, it wasn"t too far off from an ordinary person"s zhenqi.
But with the power of karmic virtue, it was completely different.Not only was the zhen qi purer and more refined, the explosive power was also very strong. The key was that it was long enough and seemed to be inexhaustible.
If one palm doesn"t work, then a second, then a third …
There was always a limit to the miniature protective array formed by these runes. Lu Chen did not believe that he could endure until the end despite the pressure of his palm attack.
Using all of his strength, he infused his zhenqi into his body and smashed the floor with his palm.As expected, the floor tile was finally shattered, causing dust to fly in all directions.
Behind the dust, a secret compartment appeared under the stone slab.
Lu Chen was overjoyed and quickly took a look.
In the secret compartment, there was a golden box with a bronze lock on it.
Beside the box, there was a scroll wrapped in silk.
Lu Chen reached out to touch the bronze lock, and immediately felt a cool sensation enter his mind.This lock was not ordinary!
Lu Chen had a faint feeling that it was difficult to break through it with brute force alone.
Even if he did break it, it wouldn"t be the best solution.
With a thought, he took the jade box from his bosom and carefully examined it.This jade box"s aura was clearly directed towards the golden box in the secret compartment.
How to use the jade box to unlock the lock?
Lu Chen didn"t have a clue what was going on, so he didn"t know what to do.However, it was very likely that the ancient magical equipment would be right in front of him, so he naturally would not give it up so easily.
His gaze moved back and forth between the jade box and the golden box.
How could he have forgotten about this!
Lu Chen couldn"t help but smack his forehead.
It turned out that there was a roll of silk on the side of the golden box!
It was very possible that the clues were inside!
Lu Chen tilted his head and immediately placed the jade box to the side, holding the silk within the secret compartment in his hands.
He carefully untied the silk, revealing a long piece of parchment.
Suppressing his agitation, Lu Chen slowly opened the parchment paper.An ancient text slowly appeared in front of Lu Chen"s eyes.
Although it was just an ancient text, Lu Chen didn"t really understand it. However, with the little fox, everything could be easily solved.
With the little fox"s introduction, Lu Chen finally understood the meaning of this pa.s.sage of ancient text.This pa.s.sage gave a general introduction to the history of the tomb"s owner.
When he was alive, he was an Earth Stage powerhouse. As for the exact rank, there was no explanation.
The owner of the tomb had perished after the catastrophe, and the object in the golden box was one of the magic tools he had found in a forbidden area.
However, what made Lu Chen frown was that the specific usage and usage of this magic tool was not explained, and not even a name was mentioned.As for the key, the owner of the grave was referring to the jade box in Lu Chen"s hand.
Fortunately, in this pa.s.sage of text, there was an incantation to open the jade box.Lu Chen muttered according to the incantation and opened the jade box. Surprisingly, there was a bronze key inside.
This bronze key clearly matched the bronze lock on the gold box.
Without any hesitation, he inserted the key into the lock. The bronze lock immediately fell off and the golden box slowly opened.A strong light flashed, and a purple pearl appeared in front of Lu Chen.
At this time, before Lu Chen could take a good look at the bead, the piece of parchment suddenly caught on fire.
In less than a moment, the sheepskin scroll had turned into ashes and disappeared.
And in front of Lu Chen"s eyes, a golden text appeared out of nowhere."The number of years past thirty sixty-one is destined, and this magic item is destined for you!"
The golden text vanished in an instant.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly locked his eyes onto the purple pearl and carefully examined it.
He only saw the pearl lying in the golden box. From time to time, there would be flashes of light. It was extremely mysterious.
