CHAPTER 363: CHAPTER 162 THE REAL SECRET OF XUANTIAN TREASURE VAULT (SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST)_3

Xu Qing nodded and went to the position Feng Wu mentioned as without pretension.

He tried various methods again, but still couldn’t find the door to the Inner Treasury.

"Could it not be here?" Feng Wu sounded somewhat disappointed.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, I’ll try using the Innate Finger."

Feng Wu: "You just used the Innate Finger not long ago. Will it be dangerous to use it again now?"

Xu Qing: "When we paid respects to the statue earlier, you benefited, and I also benefited, hence I have regained my Essence Qi. This unforeseen gain isn’t worth giving up."

He always felt that the actions of the Xuantian Taoist carried a tinge of causality.

Since the statue helped him regain his Essence Qi, naturally, there was a technique behind it.

Xu Qing gathered his Strength Force; the aura of the Innate Qi erupted fiercely, shockingly, and he directed his finger towards the rock wall.

However, the rock wall did not budge.

Feng Wu: "It’s still useless."

Xu Qing’s face turned pale, and he seemed to wobble slightly; Feng Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright?"

She felt both heartache and blame: "If it works, it works; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Why do you have to push yourself?" While speaking, she cautiously watched the secret passage, guarding against Red-haired Yan Kong bursting in.

There was no movement for a long time.

When Xu Qing saw the black aura that had just emerged within the Qi Fortune Little Snake diminish suddenly, he then breathed a sigh of relief. His expression quickly returned to normal, saying, "I didn’t actually use the Innate Finger just now."

Feng Wu: "So you wanted to see if Yan Kong would charge in."

...

...

The collapse of the great hall halted, and Red-haired Yan Kong, riding the golden-haired creature, came in, stared at the statue, hesitated for a long time, but did not enter; soon after, a strange "song" resounded.

The hairs of the golden-haired creature stood on end.

Red-haired Yan Kong’s expression slightly changed: "Let’s go."

...

...

After Red-haired Yan Kong truly left, Xu Qing observed that no more black aura emerged from the Qi Fortune Little Snake, and completely relaxed.

He succeeded in avoiding misfortune once again!

Assured that the black aura from the Qi Fortune Little Snake would not reoccur, he maneuvered the Qi again, and the Innate Finger came forth, striking the rock wall.

With this touch, it seemed to hit the hub of the strange strength that covered the wall; the rock wall started shedding rock chips before their eyes, soon revealing a stone door with a lock on it.

Feng Wu tried it and said, "It’s not the Heartless Lock."

Xu Qing nodded, touched the lock with his hand to sense its structure, and quickly figured it out. He then penetrated the lock with his Strength Force, using the method Feng Wu used to open the Heartless Lock in reverse, and soon, the lock fell.

Due to using the Innate Finger and unlocking the door immediately afterward, Xu Qing was somewhat out of breath.

He regulated his breath and pushed against the stone door with a palm.

With all his strength, the stone door burst open.

Inside was another stone chamber, just like the outside, with no light source, yet it was as bright as day.

Inside the chamber, apart from a large stone couch facing the stone door, the rest of the area was empty. However, the stone walls on both sides were inscribed with text, identical in handwriting as the stone wall text of the Xuantian Visualization Method Xu Qing had studied.

It boldly displayed, "Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique," "With heaven and earth as viscera, transforming rainbows into vocal cords, uttering dragon chants, singing phoenix melodies, listening to the rhythmless thunder..."

But Xu Qing’s gaze quickly shifted from the text on the stone wall to focus on the large stone couch directly facing the stone door.

One could see, in the middle of the stone couch, a clear light floating, spreading like starlight. Apparently, an Eye Shielding Technique was previously present, now that it had disappeared.

The remains of a Daoist appeared.

He had an extraordinary appearance, with hair and beard as dark as ink, and eyes as bright as stars.

If not for his body being lifeless and devoid of aura, he would be indistinguishable from a living person.

The Daoist touched the stone couch with one finger.

Xu Qing and Feng Wu approached and saw that the Daoist had engraved text into the couch with his Finger Strength:

"Yu Yangzi’s body dissolved here."
