“Mr. Chance, were you using the Divine Cauldron to make the pill earlier?” Matthew asked Jared as they walked. “That’s right.” Jared nodded. “I remember you lent Isaac the Divine Cauldron. When did you take it back?” Matthew asked curiously.
“Hahaha. This Divine Cauldron is an ancient artifact. How could I lend it to Isaac so easily? Besides, Isaac is obviously the kind who borrows without returning. I don’t trust him at all, so I merely gave him a fake previously.” “You’re indeed wise, Mr. Chance. That Isaac is a despicable man. You did the right thing. Mr. Chance, Matthew uttered admiringly.
The party chatted as they moved further into the abyss. Still, they simultaneously kept their guards up to prevent anything unfortunate from happening again.
They traveled down the slope and reached the bottom uneventfully. As they continued deeper into the place, the intense negative energy and howls from the wind made them feel as if they were in hell. Soon, a door tens of meters high appeared in front of Jared and the others. The doors were shut, blocking their way forward.
They looked around. Smooth stone walls extended left and right. There was no other exit in sight. Opening the door was the only viable. option for them to enter.
Jared stepped forward and pushed the door but found it incredibly heavy and impossible to budge. “Let’s all try to push the door together and see if we can open it,” Jared said to everyone. Hearing that, the crowd hurried forward and used all their strength to push the door.
Still, the door didn’t move an inch. Most of the people there were Martial Arts Gods, while some were even Martial Arts Sovereigns, yet they failed to push a door open even with their combined effort.
“I think this door is installed with an arcane array. Brute force can’t move it. We need to locate the core of the arcane array,” Great Diviner said while staring at the enormous door.
Jared nodded. Then, he began searching for the core solemnly. He gently placed his palm on the door. Streams. of spiritual energy spread out in all directions as Jared shut his eyes and felt the arcane array on the door.
However, after investigating for a long time, he couldn’t detect any arcane array. The door was just a regular door without any arcane array installed on it. “That’s weird. No one set up any arcane array on this door.” Jared furrowed his brows.
Great Diviner was momentarily dazed. The next second, he stepped forward and took out a copper coin. He blew on the coin forcefully, causing it to buzz, before throwing the copper coin ahead. Surprisingly, it stuck on the door and started to spin.
Great Diviner was baffled. “There’s indeed no arcane array on the door. But why can’t we open it? With our capabilities, we can even flatten a hill, yet we can’t open this door? Mr. Chance, if there isn’t any arcane array, there must be a hidden mechanism to unlock the door. Perhaps we can open it by finding the switch.”
“Mr. Chance, look up,” Skyler said to Jared while pointing at the top of the door. Everyone lifted their gazes and noticed a plum blossom-shaped carving on the door. The shape wasn’t etched but carved into the door.
Jared jumped up, floating in midair, before the plum blossom-shaped recess. Looking at the smooth surface, he figured the recess was man-made. “Could this be the mechanism to unlock the door?” Jared groped the recess. “But what is needed to open it?”
“Mr. Chance, this must be the hidden lock. mechanism since a sudden recess is carved into such a smooth door. Perhaps we can open the door by inserting a similar-shaped key.” Great Diviner also leaped into midair and sized up the recess.
