Chapter 206 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 56
Shen Qianyu immediately adopted a defensive stance, shielding Shen Chumo behind her.
"and many more."
Shen Chumo swam out from behind Shen Qianyu. "Master, perhaps it can help us break through the barrier."
"It?" Shen Qianyu looked at the enormous creature in front of her, her eyes filled with doubt.
Shen Chumo looked completely confident. She gently tugged at Shen Qianyu's hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
Then, Shen Chumo slowly swam towards the enormous creature.
Those on land who witnessed this scene were filled with trepidation.
"What is Miss Shen trying to do?"
Shen Qianyu kept her eyes fixed on the creature in front of her, ready to strike immediately if it made a move.
As Shen Chumo approached, the enormous creature narrowed its huge eyes slightly and let out a low growl, as if issuing a warning.
Shen Chumo did not stop; she stopped some distance away from the creature.
Shen Chumo was relieved to find that it showed no signs of wanting to attack her. If she was not mistaken, this creature was intelligent.
As the guardian beast at the core of the world, it has lived at the bottom of this Heavenly Lake for countless years, witnessing the changes of time and guarding the secrets of this mysterious place.
She believed that the guardian beast would help her once it knew why they came.
Shen Chumo slowly raised her hand and took out the bead of faith power. The bead emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire lake bottom, allowing Shen Chumo to clearly see the appearance of the guardian beast before her.
The guardian beast was enormous, several tens of feet long, and covered with a layer of dark blue scales. Each scale seemed to be meticulously carved, shimmering with a mysterious luster under the light, like stars in the deep night sky, dazzling and enchanting.
Its head is huge and majestic, resembling a dragon but with a unique structure, with a sharp single horn on its head that emits a faint halo.
It has huge fins on both sides of its body, which sway gently in the water like exquisite silk, creating gentle ripples.
A pair of large, bell-like eyes, now shining with a deep light, were fixed on the beads in Shen Chumo's hand, their gaze seemingly filled with surprise and curiosity.
"What a beautiful creature," Shen Chumo thought to herself in amazement.
"Hello, I know you are the guardian of this mysterious land. We mean no offense; we wish to enter that door to save the world."
I know you are a wise being, and I hope you can understand why we've come and offer us some assistance, is that alright?
The guardian beast continued to watch her silently. After a moment, it slowly opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of dark blue air. The air quickly spread in the water, forming strange runes. These runes slowly rotated around Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu, as if scrutinizing them.
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu looked at the runes with a strange expression.
Before long, the runes gradually dissipated, and the light in the guardian beast's eyes softened considerably.
It slowly swayed its massive body and swam towards the hidden door, letting out a low roar as if signaling Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu to follow it.
Shen Chumo was overjoyed; she knew that the guardian beast had already accepted them.
"Master, let's catch up with it quickly."
The two followed behind the guardian beast, swimming towards the hidden door.
Soon, they arrived at the barrier. The guardian beast stopped, then stretched out its horn and gently touched the barrier.
In an instant, a strange light appeared on the barrier. As the light flickered, the originally indestructible barrier began to show tiny cracks, which continued to spread and expand.
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu exchanged a surprised glance, knowing that the barrier was about to be broken.
Sure enough, not long after, with a crisp cracking sound, the barrier that had blocked them for so long shattered completely, turning into countless tiny specks of light that dissipated into the seawater.
Shen Chumo excitedly told Wu Jun through the communication device, "Wu Jun, we have successfully broken through the barrier and can now enter the secret door!"
Cheers erupted from Wu Jun's side: "Great! Miss Shen, Fairy Qianyu, you're amazing! But be careful!"
Shen Chumo thanked the guardian beast, who looked at her gently and nodded slightly, as if to indicate that they could proceed with peace of mind.
Then, it slowly swayed its massive body, turned around and swam back the way it came, quickly disappearing into the dark depths of the sea, leaving only faint ripples to prove that it had been there.
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu slowly approached the hidden door, carefully observing its structure.
She discovered that there were no obvious keyholes or handles on the door, only some strange patterns and symbols, which seemed to be some kind of ancient mechanism.
Shen Qianyu also came over, "I think I've seen these patterns before. Their direction seems to be arranged according to some kind of constellation. If we touch these symbols in the corresponding constellation order, maybe we can open the secret door."
"Master, then think carefully about what their order should be."
Shen Qianyu fell into deep thought, wondering where she had seen these symbols before. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
“I remember now! On the top floor of our sect’s scripture pavilion, there is an ancient book that records various ancient mechanisms and mysterious symbols.”
I once saw a similar arrangement of celestial symbols while browsing through that ancient book. It seems some ancestor found it by chance in an ancient ruin. I only glanced at it then, finding the symbols quite fascinating; I never imagined they would come in handy today.
"Master, then you should give it a try."
Shen Qianyu took a deep breath, reached out her hand, and carefully touched the first symbol in the order she remembered.
The symbol glowed faintly the moment her finger touched it, emitting a soft buzzing sound, as if in response to her action.
Then, she touched the symbols one by one, and with each one she touched, the light on the hidden door became brighter.
When the last symbol was triggered, the hidden door suddenly trembled violently, its surface shone brightly, and then slowly opened, releasing a mysterious aura.
"Success!"
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with excitement and joy. After many twists and turns, they had finally reached the most crucial step.
The two walked into the hidden door together. Surprisingly, the lake water was completely shut out of the door, and the space inside was completely dry.
A deep, narrow passage, with crystals embedded in the walls that emit a faint glow. The light is not strong, but it is enough to illuminate the path and adds a touch of dreamlike mystery to the passage.
