"It's fine."
Lu Zhou slowly raised his palm and launched another energy seal. A radiant light shone in all directions.
The stone door appeared before everyone's eyes.
The stone door was engraved with densely packed symbols. They were twisted and turned and looked extremely complicated.
Huang Yu said, "Yu Chenshu is the only one who can open this door. Yu Chenshu left a key with his trusted subordinate. Every once in a while, he'll come and clean the room. No one else can enter. "
Lu Zhou asked, "Where's the key?"
"I don't know." Huang Yu and He Zhong shook their heads.
Little Yuan 'er said, "Master, there's no need for that. Just kick it open."
At this moment, Wuwu and Ji Fengxing instinctively moved aside.
Little Yuan 'er charged forward with energy under her feet. Bam!
He kicked the stone door with his foot.
A layer of dust fell from the top of the stone door that was about 30 feet tall. Then, nothing happened.
Little Yuan 'er retracted her foot. She pouted and placed her hands on her hips as she said, "Hmph, I don't believe this! I'm going to tear it down! "
"Ah, my dear grandaunt … No, no, no." He Zhong hastily walked up to her. "It's easy for a cultivator to tear down this stone door, but what if it collapses? Luo Xuan is still inside. I heard she's not doing well. "
A small stone door could not stop a cultivator. It could not stop a Thousand Realms Whirling being like Lu Zhou.
Huang Yu looked at He Zhong and teased, "Can't you open a lock with your fingernail?"
"Give me some time! Watch me. "
He Zhong stepped forward.
Logically speaking, this was a Formation and a mechanism, not a lock. It would be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to open it. However, for the lunatics of the Sky Research Institute, they loved challenging difficult things the most.
"Let me do it." Lu Zhou raised a hand and stopped He Zhong.
"Alright, Senior Lu. This way …"
Lu Zhou walked up to the stone door.
He pushed his palm forward.
He placed his palm on the stone door.
Whizz!
The runes and patterns on the stone door lit up.
However, when they did, something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart. This was because the patterns on the door were none other than a totem familiar to the people of the eastern nations on Earth, the dragon.
As a transmigrator, Lu Zhou had been baptized in the eastern culture since he was young. It was not difficult for him to recognize the dragon totem.
"Berserk beast pattern?!"
"What berserk beast is this?"
Lu Zhou looked at Meng Changdong, Xia Changqiu, and the others and said, "Dragon."
"Dragon? There are many types of dragons recorded in ancient books, but none of them look like this! "Li Yunzheng exclaimed in shock.
"What do the dragons in the ancient scrolls look like?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Oh … That's a lot. There are eight types of dragons recorded in the ancient books, but none of them are as crooked as this … It's strange. It looks like a worm …" Li Yunzheng said.
"Don't spout nonsense. Slap yourself." Lu Zhou frowned.
Everyone was taken aback.
Although Li Yunzheng was the emperor, he was also Lu Zhou's granddisciple.
It was perfectly justified for the grandmaster to teach his own disciple a lesson.
Li Yunzheng raised his hand and slapped his own mouth in a symbolic gesture.
"Grandmaster, what's this?" Li Yunzheng looked at the totem that was slowly lighting up.
"It's an ancient and sacred dragon … Legend has it that it can appear and hide, be thin and big, short and long … It's the symbol of a people and the spirit." Lu Zhou continued to channel his Primal Qi into it.
Li Yunzheng nodded with a confused expression on his face.
Huang Yu praised, "I see. You're truly knowledgeable, Senior Lu. I'm impressed."
As soon as Huang Yu finished speaking, the dragon totem closed up and transformed into a complete dragon.
Shortly after …
Lu Zhou channeled his extraordinary power.
The golden dragon transformed into a blue dragon.
A dragon spun out of the totem and vanished into thin air.
Swoosh!
The stone door was instantly reduced to rubble and fell to the ground.
The others retreated to avoid the rubble. Lu Zhou remained where he was as he used his energy to deflect the rubble.
"Senior Lu, your profound cultivation base is truly admirable. This stone wall is no ordinary material, and yet, you're able to crush it into rubble," He Zhong exclaimed in shock.
The others remained expressionless.
Nobody paid any attention to him.
He Zhong looked at Xia Changqiu awkwardly and said, "Don't you think so?"
Xia Changqiu, Meng Changdong, and the others did not seem to hear him.
"You're truly powerful …"
Lu Zhou's flattery was awkward.
It did not feel natural at all.
Nie Qingyun of Cloud Mountain looked at Lu Zhou as though he was looking at a fool. His expression seemed to be saying, 'Is this the genius of the Sky Research Court? He's making a fuss over nothing. '
Lu Zhou stepped into the stone chamber with his hands on his back.
Through the long corridor, the light from both sides shone in.
The conditions of the stone chamber were worlds apart from the dark prison behind it.
The others were shocked as they looked at the stone chamber.
"Yu Chenshu sure is generous. He must've put in a lot of effort to build this stone chamber."
Shortly after …
The others arrived at the deepest stone chamber.
They stopped in their tracks.
Inside the stone chamber, a white-haired woman with wrinkles on her face lay quietly on a bed. Her eyes were lifeless, and she did not move at all.
Huang Yu sighed.
"This is what happened to her in the end."
Lu Zhou remained silent as he walked in.
He stood next to the bed.
His gaze fell on the woman.
Three hundred years … in the end, her youth and beauty had faded away.
Based on his memories, Lu Zhou recognized the woman lying on the bed as Luo Xuan who had met Ji Tiandao 300 years ago.
Time turned back.
The memories of the past appeared in his mind.
The legend of the dragon seemed to have been told to her in that unknown land.
They had supported each other as they escaped from unknown dangers until they arrived in Great Yan.
…
Since Lu Zhou remained silent, the others, naturally, did not speak as well.
Nobody knew what was going through his mind.
Conch, on the other hand, felt her head growing heavier. She seemed to have drunk too much, or perhaps, she was drugged.
However, she persisted. She kept telling herself not to collapse.
At this moment, Lu Zhou finally spoke.
"You've taken my things. When are you going to return them?" Lu Zhou asked.
On the bed, Luo Xuan's eyes were still lifeless.
It was as though she did not hear Lu Zhou.
"Senior Lu, she's suffering from soullessness. Even Yu Chenshu can't do anything to her! We've learned from her and feigned ignorance, "Huang Yu said with a smile.
Lu Zhou ignored her and continued to ask.
He continued to ask, "Where's Great Void?"
Upon hearing this question, Huang Yu shuddered.
Huang Yu suddenly shivered and said, "Why is everyone asking this question? Yu Chenshu seemed to be asking the same question as well. He would ask the same question every time he came down. His voice was too loud as though he was a lunatic. What's … Great Void? "
Lu Zhou turned to look at Huang Yu and said, "That's all for now."
The others bowed and left.
Conch was about to turn around when she could no longer hold on and fell.
"Master … Conch!" Little Yuan 'er supported Conch.
Lu Zhou glanced at Conch from the corner of his eye and said, "Take her to rest."
"Master … she … she's hot!" Little Yuan 'er exclaimed in shock.
Lu Zhou frowned.
Why would she feel hot for no reason?
For cultivators, it was almost impossible to catch a cold or a fever.
If she felt hot, she might have been poisoned.
"You and Conch will stay. The rest of you are dismissed."
"Understood."
The others turned around and left.
Huang Yu said, "The Sky Research Courtyard's Sun Zhonghua is skilled in medicine. Should I summon him?"
"There's no need for now. I'll summon you if there's a need."
"In that case, we'll take our leave!"
Huang Yu and He Zhong left the underground prison.
They knew it was not wise to stay under such circumstances so they left the underground stone chamber.
Lu Zhou waved his hand.
A wave of energy wrapped around Conch and dragged her in. She hovered before him.
He raised his hand, and a blue lotus appeared on his palm.
