Chapter 865
The Hint of the Golden Key
Tian Siyao turned her head and looked at the support frame.
However, she had a feeling of unease in her heart.
The magical device that was supposed to be placed on the stand—the "Galaxy Lamp"—is missing.
Clearly, someone had already snatched it away.
Chen Ze looked around warily.
"Is anyone left here?" he asked.
Qin Miyue shook her head.
"No one else came in except for us."
After a moment of contemplation, Tian Siyao said, "Let's call Wuhe."
"Perhaps he will know more."
So, Chu Ya took out her phone and dialed Wu He's number.
After a period of communication and inquiry.
They learned that the last time Wuhe heard about this artifact was several years ago.
"So what should we do now?" Chen Ze frowned.
Chu Ya said softly, "Wu He mentioned that he would have more clues in another ancient tomb nearby."
"Perhaps we should go there and take a look."
Tian Siyao nodded, "Okay, let's do it that way."
As night deepened, they decided to stay in the main tomb chamber for a while to rest and sort out their thoughts.
After resting for a while, Tian Siyao suddenly raised her head, a glint of inspiration flashing in her eyes.
“I think I understand,” she suddenly said.
"What?" Everyone crowded around.
Tian Siyao pointed to the various totems and sculptures carefully arranged inside the main tomb.
"Based on these shapes and locations, I speculate that there is a deeper secret hidden here."
"Perhaps this is the key to the Valley of Desolation."
Qin Miyue was slightly taken aback, and admiration showed in her eyes.
"Truly worthy of being called Tian Siyao, your talent and insight into totem interpretation are indeed unmatched."
Tian Siyao smiled confidently. "Thank you for the compliment."
Chen Ze said without hesitation, "Let's find this key and explore the Valley of Desolation..."
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze followed Tian Siyao's directions and continued forward.
Thick vines and moss covered the outer perimeter of the Jade Shadow Pavilion, seemingly reminding visitors to be careful.
Tian Siyao gently touched a vine.
She closed her eyes, feeling the connection between nature and mysterious forces.
An inspiration struck her, a sudden flash of insight.
"The patterns on these vines seem to tell an ancient story."
Tian Siyao muttered to herself.
She observed carefully for a while and discovered that one of the patterns formed a subtle symbol.
She stretched out her finger and traced it across the symbol; a faint light flashed from the ground.
Qin Miyue reacted immediately, and without hesitation, she used a specially made barrier technique to seal the light.
This was done to avoid attracting outside attention to their actions.
Chen Ze gripped his longsword tightly and cautiously looked around.
The dense forest gives people a maze-like feeling, making it difficult to escape the fog.
“Let’s keep going,” Chen Ze said in a firm and deep voice.
The group followed the direction indicated by the patterns, passing through the thick, tangled vines.
As the light grew dimmer, they arrived at a hidden passage leading into the interior of the "Azure Shadow Pavilion".
Qin Miyue carefully set up a detection barrier to ensure their safe passage.
This barrier could sense any threat or unusual activity and alert the team in time. Tian Siyao led the group through a hidden passage into the interior of "Biying Pavilion".
This place seems like a sanctuary forgotten by time, with an ancient and mysterious aura permeating the air.
In the center of the "Biying Pavilion" stands a huge stone platform.
On the platform were exquisite and magnificent altars and various utensils of unknown purpose.
Tian Siyao gazed at the soft light drifting across the altar, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.
"This energy... feels very similar to the mysterious energy within my body," Tian Siyao murmured to herself.
Tian Siyao walked to the altar and gently stroked the runes covered in dust.
After standing still for a moment, she said, "These runes seem to be telling a story about the origin of the power within me."
Chen Ze stared at Tian Siyao, his brows furrowing slightly.
"What should we do then? Should we try to see if there are any clues that can help you understand this puzzle?"
Tian Siyao nodded, took a deep breath, and gently ran her fingers over the runes.
"These ancient texts appear to be records of an ancient war."
Tian Siyao pointed to one of the texts and said.
"They described a mysterious power that emerged from a conflict and was sealed within the Azure Shadow Pavilion."
Chen Ze cautiously surveyed his surroundings, remaining alert to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.
He gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to respond to any situation that might arise.
"This part of the text also mentions a ritual."
"Awaken and regain control of that mysterious power by unlocking the door and triggering the mechanism."
Tian Siyao continued to explain, "We must find a golden key engraved with special symbols and insert it into the rune slot on this door."
As soon as Tian Siyao finished speaking, she noticed a heavy line next to the door, which seemed to be related to the golden key she had mentioned.
“I understand.” Tian Siyao quickly stood up.
"This pattern is a hint of a golden key, according to these ancient texts."
"After unlocking the mechanism and inserting the golden key, the door will slowly open."
Qin Miyue stretched out her palm towards the door and began to infuse it with magic using her profound magical knowledge.
She gathered a pure and rich magical power and carefully transmitted it to the door.
As Qin Miyue continuously infuses her with magic, Tian Siyao demonstrates her profound insights into ancient architecture.
She unraveled the intricate patterns and designs that symbolized the functions and fixed positions of various mechanisms.
After solving each puzzle, Chen Ze would tap the ground with the hilt of his sword to make sure there were no other hidden traps.
Once all the mechanisms were successfully solved, the gate slowly opened, revealing a captivating main hall.
Inside the main hall, the walls were covered with various unknown symbols and characters, exuding a strong sense of mystery.
Tian Siyao began to decipher these ancient texts by constantly applying her deep understanding of symbols.
Qin Miyue took a deep breath, sensing the powerful magical energy slumbering within the main hall.
He attempts to establish a connection through the ancient magic he possesses and to understand the contents of that magic.
Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, constantly scanning his surroundings for any potential dangers.
He revealed a solemn and vigilant look, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Tian Siyao finally understood part of the ancient text and carved symbols on the wall as a record.
According to her interpretation, "Biying Pavilion" was established after the war ended.
A place specially built to seal that mysterious power.
The gate and mechanisms exist to protect the seal.
"We must find all the keywords mentioned in the ancient texts to fully unravel this mystery."
Tian Siyao muttered to herself, "Only after we fully understand and solve the puzzle."
Only then can the ritual be triggered and that mysterious power be awakened.
The three began searching the main hall for other ancient texts and clues to continue unraveling the mysteries of history. (End of Chapter)
