Chapter 122: Chapter 81: 12th-Tier Mysterious
Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on the stone wall, and he saw that the wall, emitting an orange glow, suddenly scattered like ashes, revealing a stone chamber.
Looking at the stone chamber, Zhang Chen saw a glistening skeleton sitting inside, its hands forming a spell, with a posture that seemed to be pondering something.
"How is this possible! I’ve traversed the entire mountain, and I’ve been through this spot before too, it was just a pile of rocks, how could there be a stone chamber here?" Fox Fairy Nannan’s voice was filled with shock: "Even if you could hide it from me, it shouldn’t have been hidden from the ancestor!"
"How could this be! It shouldn’t be! Absolutely shouldn’t be!" Fox Fairy Nannan’s voice was filled with horror.
"I know! I know!" Fox Fairy Nannan seemed to have realized something, her eyes showing a hint of shock: "It’s the Feng Shui Grand Array! It’s the power of the Feng Shui Grand Array! Someone must have set up a Feng Shui Grand Array here, thus interfering with my soul, deceiving my soul perception. This stone chamber must be shrouded in a Feng Shui Grand Array and a very incredible one at that, to be able to obscure my perception. Without breaking the walls, under the cover of the Feng Shui Grand Array, no one could sense the existence of the stone chamber."
"Feng Shui Grand Array? Does the Feng Shui Grand Array possess such power?" Zhang Chen’s face was astonished.
The Fox Spirit replied: "Heaven and Earth is a great force field of the earth, while our souls are just a mere grain in the ocean, from soul emergence to overcoming the forces of the gentle breeze in the heavens and the earth, to later overcoming the power of the bright moon and the power of the great sun, continuously striving to adapt to the natural order. Although our power of the soul is constantly climbing, what does it count against the force field of heaven and earth? A mere aftershock of thunder is enough to scatter our souls."
"You go in and take a look!"
Zhang Chen looked at the Fox Spirit, then directly activated a skill, directing Fox Fairy Nannan to carry a heavy stone and enter the stone chamber next door.
"Why the hell are you so cowardly? Why is it me going in when there’s danger!"
Fox Fairy Nannan was going crazy but couldn’t disobey Zhang Chen’s instructions, so she picked up the heavy stone and entered the stone chamber.
The stone chamber wasn’t big, only about thirty square meters.
"Damn! Zhang Chen, stop! Stop quickly!" The Fox Spirit suddenly called out anxiously, her voice filled with urgency.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen quickly halted his instructions and looked at the Fox Spirit with his eyes: "Is there something wrong?"
The Fox Spirit did not answer Zhang Chen but stood before the skeleton, raising her head, eyes fixed on a crack opposite the skeleton, her body trembling uncontrollably, her voice shaking with excitement: "We’ve hit it big! Ancestor, I’m going to be rich!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen was moved, following the direction of the Fox Spirit’s gaze, he only saw a crack, while the Fox Spirit stared fervently at it, too excited to control herself.
Although Zhang Chen was curious about what the Fox Spirit had discovered to cause such excitement, he didn’t rush to enter; what if this Fox Spirit was setting him up, leading to his demise, making him a laughingstock?
Besides, everything was right in front of him; even if there was something wondrous, it couldn’t escape. He had all the time to retrieve it.
"What did you discover?" Zhang Chen asked, knowing that the Fox Spirit, being his skill, couldn’t lie to him.
The Fox Spirit was speechless, not because she didn’t want to answer, but because she was too excited to speak.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen also started getting excited. He knew the Fox Spirit must have found something significant; otherwise, an eighth-tier Great Demon wouldn’t be this excited.
However, Zhang Chen didn’t rush, understanding that properly exploring all mechanisms within the ancient tomb was the right thing to do.
With treasures at hand, one moment of carelessness leading to tragedy would be undesirable.
Then Zhang Chen continued to activate his skill, having the Fox Spirit probe for traps by walking around the stone chamber.
"Boy, can’t you be less timid? This existence set up disguises outside and used a Feng Shui Grand Array to conceal the place; why would there be traps in their retreat?" The Fox Spirit complained while walking around with the stone, her voice full of vexation.
She, the Fox Fairy Nannan Ancestor, has never encountered someone so cautious and afraid of death!
Incredible fear to the extreme!
Thinking about her recent experiences, Fox Fairy Nannan couldn’t help but think: "To meet such a coward, no wonder I fell into his trap."
"What did you discover inside to make you so excited?" Zhang Chen stood outside the stone chamber, curiously asking.
"Twelfth-tier Mystery! It’s a Twelfth-tier Mystery!" Fox Fairy Nannan exclaimed, her eyes glowing with excitement.
"What is Twelfth-tier Mystery?" Zhang Chen was confused.
"All beings in the heavens and earth, do you know where their innate abilities come from?" Fox Fairy Nannan asked.
Zhang Chen was taken aback: "Could it be..."
"Exactly, all bloodlines originate from the mysteries of heaven and earth. Even so-called cultivation levels are merely mystery tiers. In ancient times, at the dawn of creation, mysteries condensed in heaven and earth, some creatures obtained mysteries, and under the impact, subtle transformation, and radiation of mysteries, bloodlines underwent mutations, thus gaining incredible abilities."
