Ch 653: The Forgotten Sea Pearl
It was just as Young Master Xuan Shuang said.
The statues of the Four Sacred Beasts are placed in front of the gate; naturally, it is not for show. There must be a reason for their existence.
And the statues of the Four Sacred Beasts are the four keys to opening the cave dwelling’s gate.
It’s just that these four keys must correspond to the lock holes.
On the ground below the statues, there are five positions, respectively corresponding to the Five Elements, representing the lock holes.
“The method has been found, but how should they be placed?”
Two Divine Transformation Stage Experts tried moving the positions of the Four Sacred Beast statues, but the cave dwelling gate did not react.
Then they tried several more times, still without the slightest effect, and immediately found themselves stumped.
Yin Feichen and the other two watched the statues of the Four Sacred Beasts, their eyes tinged with helplessness.
They hadn’t even entered the cave dwelling yet, but the first obstacle had trapped them.
If possible, they would have directly broken down the cave dwelling gate.
But no one knows whether doing so would cause unpredictable changes to the cave dwelling.
Everything is unknown, so it’s best to use conventional methods to open it honestly.
But just then.
Li Hanzhou stepped forward and said, “Wrong, the Azure Dragon statue should be moved to the south, the Vermilion Bird to the center, the White Tiger to the east, and the Black Tortoise to the west.”
He observed for a while and found that the keys and lock holes for opening the cave dwelling were somewhat compatible with the Dao.
As the saying goes, the Four Symbols Reversed, the Five Elements Mutual Generation.
If they are arranged according to his method, it will be Wood and Fire Mutual Generation, Fire and Earth Mutual Completion, Gold and Wood Mutual Consumption, and Gold and Water Mutual Containment.
In this way, a cycle of mutual generation can be formed.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Their gazes were surprised as they looked towards Li Hanzhou, unexpectedly, the other party was so assertive.
But will it work?
Shen Tianzong and Lu Yuanbai exchanged glances, and finally looked towards Young Master Xuan Shuang.
Here, they were only here to work for Young Master Xuan Shuang. No matter what they did, they had to ask Young Master Xuan Shuang first.
Young Master Xuan Shuang casually said, “Why are you looking at me? Just do it as he said. Anyway, these four sacred statues are very hard and can’t be broken.”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, the two immediately rearranged the positions of the Four Sacred Beast statues according to Li Hanzhou’s words.
It was at the moment the positions were changed.
A brilliant radiance lit up on the Four Sacred Beast statues, but it only appeared for a moment before disappearing.
At the same time.
Bang!
A dull sound came, and the cave dwelling gate behind them actually trembled slightly, gradually opening a crack, then opening to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Sir, you have such ability!”
Everyone present was filled with disbelief.
They really didn’t expect Li Hanzhou to not only be powerful but also knowledgeable.
Young Master Xuan Shuang also looked at Li Hanzhou with a surprised gaze, but the next moment, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, then gradually disappeared.
“The door is open; you can go in.”
Looking at the fully opened cave dwelling gate, Yin Feichen and the other two’s faces were filled with excitement.
At this moment, they were already imagining in their hearts what treasures they could obtain.
However, excited as they were, they did not take a step but all looked towards Young Master Xuan Shuang and said, “Young Master, why don’t you let us go in first to scout the way?”
As for Li Hanzhou, they completely ignored him.
Although the cave dwelling gate was opened under Li Hanzhou’s guidance, they also believed that as long as they tried a few more times and wasted some time, they could also open it.
As for Young Master Xuan Shuang, if they could make friends with him and get connected, it would not be in vain.
Li Hanzhou also knew this.
But he didn’t care about it.
Yin Feichen, the three Sect Masters, were trying to curry favor with Young Master Xuan Shuang; he was too lazy to do such things.
Moreover, being too concerned by others is not necessarily a good thing.
“Okay.”
Young Master Xuan Shuang nodded and said with great satisfaction.
After receiving the instruction, Yin Feichen, the three Sect Masters, and the elders under them took the lead, carefully stepping towards the wide-open, pitch-black entrance of the cave dwelling.
Others followed closely behind.
After passing through the pitch-black entrance, what came into view was a very spacious Great Hall.
The space inside the Great Hall was huge and very bright.
However, the things placed inside the Great Hall were crooked and messy.
Tables and chairs collapsed on the ground, the paintings on the walls were covered in dust, hanging askew… this scene was as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.
And at this moment, Yin Feichen looked towards the top of the Great Hall, at the bead used for lighting, and exclaimed, “If I’m not mistaken, this is clearly the Sea Remnant Pearl!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, others exclaimed, then looked carefully at the bead, muttering, “It really is the Sea Remnant Pearl!”
The Sea Remnant Pearl is about the size of an adult’s fist, completely azure in color. If you look closely, you can vaguely see tides surging within it, and there is also a faint sound of waves in your ears, which is very mystical.
“Legend has it that the Sea Remnant Pearl has the effect of Suppressing Seas and Controlling Rivers. If it is ground into powder and combined with other materials, it can even be used to refine a pill called the Sea Returning Pill. It is said that after taking the Sea Returning Pill, cultivators will no longer fear the tides… Such a precious item is actually used as a lighting bead!”
Everyone was amazed.
This cave dwelling is indeed extraordinary. Just after entering, they saw such a treasure.
“This Sea Remnant Pearl, I want it, don’t you dare compete with me!”
“Delusional, this Sea Remnant Pearl is mine!”
“…”
The next moment, everyone immediately flew upwards and began to fight over the Sea Remnant Pearl.
In order to obtain the Sea Remnant Pearl, the three Sects turned hostile against each other and started fighting.
In the Great Hall, only Li Hanzhou, Young Master Xuan Shuang, and the two Divine Transformation Stage Cultivators, Shen Tianzong and Lu Yuanbai, did not fight for it.
For Li Hanzhou, although the bead is good, it is of no use to him.
There is no need to scramble with the three Sects.
As for Young Master Xuan Shuang and the two Divine Transformation Stage Cultivators, this thing is also of little use to them.
“What a bunch of country bumpkins.”
Looking at their scrambling figures, a trace of disdain flashed in Young Master Xuan Shuang’s eyes.
The reason he was here was all because of Li Hanzhou.
After learning from Huang Chen that Qu Shuiyun and Li Hanzhou had an affair, he planned to kill Li Hanzhou.
However, he is not a fool who rushes in blindly.
Before preparing to deal with Li Hanzhou, he also specifically investigated the other party’s information.
He learned that the other party had entered the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and was promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage.
He then found two Divine Transformation Stage Experts in the Sect as assistance, to ensure that no mistakes would occur.
