Chapter 866
The Illusionary Sun Tower
The group continued onward.
A light shone in Tian Siyao's eyes.
She stared at the wall behind the main hall, an idea flashing through her mind.
“I have a feeling there’s something else behind this wall,” Tian Siyao said, pointing to a seemingly ordinary stone.
Chen Ze and Qin Miyue immediately realized what she had discovered.
They walked over and, together, pushed open the door behind the stone.
A dim and ancient chamber appeared before them, shimmering with a faint light.
The dark walls were covered with symbols and incantations, and a mysterious and powerful energy permeated the air.
Tian Siyao demonstrated extraordinary insight.
She recognized the meaning of the symbols and quickly activated the mechanism to enter the secret room.
An invisible barrier slowly dissipated, and the three entered the secret chamber hidden in the dark.
Qin Miyue quickly cast a protective spell to ensure the safety of the team.
She looked around and created a transparent shield in the air to prevent any sudden dangers.
Chen Ze raised his longsword; everything was ready.
“Be careful.” His voice was full of alertness and warning.
Deep within the secret chamber, the three finally found the legendary "Key of Starlight," which possessed powerful energy sensing capabilities.
This ancient key may look ordinary, but it is not to be underestimated.
Tian Siyao carefully took out the item and tried to establish a connection with it.
She gripped the key tightly, closed her eyes, and quietly conveyed her thoughts and energy.
A faint yet mysterious energy surged into her body, responding to her call.
Qin Miyue used her extensive magical knowledge to analyze the attributes and functions of the "Starlight Key".
She carefully observed the patterns and symbols on the key and deduced that it possessed a powerful energy-sensing function.
"This key can guide us to the core area of the Jade Shadow Pavilion," Qin Miyue explained earnestly.
Chen Ze stood aside, watching for any possible changes.
He sensed the unpredictable energy fluctuations within the secret chamber.
"Be careful. Once we take out the artifact, it might cause some unexpected changes," Chen Ze warned.
Tian Siyao placed the Starlight Key in her palm, and a warm sensation spread from her hand.
She could sense the profound and powerful energy contained within the key.
It was as if it were the only key they had at the moment to awaken the power of the Azure Shadow Pavilion.
Qin Miyue and Tian Siyao exchanged a knowing glance and fell into deep thought.
They began to discuss how best to use this mysterious key.
“We should first look for other ancient texts and clues within the Biying Pavilion,” Tian Siyao suggested.
"Only after fully understanding and solving the puzzle."
"Only then can the ritual be triggered and that mysterious power awakened," she continued to explain.
The three began searching for other ancient texts and clues in the secret room.
The walls were covered with unknown symbols and characters, exuding a strong sense of antiquity.
Qin Miyue demonstrated her profound knowledge and insight by deciphering the symbols and texts embedded in the wall one by one.
Her brow furrowed slightly as she realized that the symbols seemed to describe a ritual for summoning mysterious forces.
“We need to find other keywords and steps to fully unravel this mystery,” Qin Miyue said.
The three of them once again plunged into a tense and exciting search, staring at the wall and sorting through their existing knowledge.
They are getting closer and closer to the core of the secrets of the Jade Shadow Pavilion, and will lead readers to uncover more unknown historical mysteries.
Tian Siyao stared at the symbols and incantations before her.
They racked their brains trying to figure out how to solve this puzzle that was troubling them.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.
"I understand!" Tian Siyao shouted excitedly.
She eagerly pointed to a symbol on the wall.
Qin Miyue immediately went over to examine it carefully and confirmed Tian Siyao's deduction. "That's right! This symbol is used to activate the ritual!" Qin Miyue said excitedly.
The three quickly coordinated and carried out the steps that Tian Siyao had explained.
They completed each movement with complete focus and concentration, and the secret room was filled with a rich and mysterious energy.
As they completed their final movement, the secret chamber began to tremble.
The wall shook and gradually emitted a strong light.
"Hurry up!" Chen Ze immediately reminded him.
He noticed that things were starting to become unstable around him.
Tian Siyao quickly chanted the incantation, and a chill suddenly enveloped her body.
Her speed of movement was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Qin Miyue immediately cast a wind barrier, surrounding the team. The wind howled past, helping them to retreat quickly.
Chen Ze picked up his sword; everything was ready.
During their rapid evacuation from the secret chamber, he swiftly smashed the falling rocks along the way, ensuring the team's safe passage.
As they rushed out of the secret chamber, the entire Biying Pavilion began to shake and collapse violently.
Large amounts of stones and dust fell from the ceiling, as if to completely bury them.
The three of them gripped the Starshine Key tightly and ran as fast as they could.
At the last moment, they leaped out of the Biying Pavilion's boundaries and successfully escaped this collapsing area.
After regaining their freedom, the three immediately returned to their base.
They put down their burdens and rejoiced that they had left that dangerous place safely.
However, while feeling relieved, Tian Siyao began to consider her next move.
"Where does the clue to the Key of Starlight lead?" she asked, frowning.
Qin Miyue pondered for a moment, then said, "The Key of Starlight points to 'City of Immortal Sun' located deep in the desert."
"That place is full of mystery and danger, and is said to possess powerful magic."
Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly, exuding decisiveness and determination.
“In that case, let’s set off!” he said.
The three nodded in agreement and decided to continue.
They knew this was an essential step in achieving their goals.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze arrived at the outer perimeter of the ancient ruins known as the "Phantom Sun Tower".
The sight before them made them hold their breath.
An endless sandstorm enveloped the entire region, with howling winds whipping up dust.
In the sunlight, they formed shimmering golden illusions.
These dust illusions are incredibly chaotic.
It's as if a giant hand is manipulating fate, distorting the bewildering scene.
“This place looks absolutely incredible.”
Tian Siyao covered her mouth and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Qin Miyue frowned, her mind racing with various solutions.
She knew this dangerous area was created using illusion magic, and she had to find a way to break through it.
Chen Ze looked around and gripped the hilt of his sword warily.
He eagerly probed through the illusion of sand and dust, sensing the lurking danger.
"What should we do?" Chen Ze asked.
Tian Siyao's eyes flickered, and a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind.
She said, "I can use my ability to understand natural symbols to create a stable airflow to disperse the sandstorm."
Qin Miyue smiled slightly, having long been aware of Tian Siyao's abilities.
She nodded approvingly.
"Good idea, go and give it a try."
Qin Miyue suggested, "I will cast a protective shield to block the sandstorm." (End of Chapter)
