Dragon Prince Yuan - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: 495

“Nine rings…”

When Zhou Yuan stepped out from the large bronze doors, he heard the sound of a melodious old bell echoing within the mountain . His mouth hung slightly ajar as shock appeared in his eyes .

Even the person himself had not expected that his results would reach the nine bell level .

“Is it because the divine grindstone smashed apart the golden sun? That’s why the evaluation is so good…” Zhou Yuan awkwardly scratched his head . He did not feel overly proud, because he only needed seven rings to achieve his goal .

Of course, the additional two rings would naturally not be rejected by him . It was after all still a form of acknowledgement of his performance .

Now that he knew the outcome, he breathed a deep sigh of relief as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders . The bell represented that he had successfully passed the three trials .

As Zhou Yuan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, he raised his head and saw a mountain path that snaked upwards, with streams flowing to its left and right .

There was no mist here, and Zhou Yuan was clearly already quite deep in the main peak .

By following this path, he should be able to reach his destination .

Zhou Yuan wet his lips as he cast away his hesitation and walked forward, slowly following the mountain path .

After a few dozen minutes, his footsteps began to slow . The path had ended some distance to the front, where an ancient large hall silently towered within the mist .

The hall looked quite simple, and was covered in the mottled scars of time .

This hall was the main hall of Saint Genesis Peak!

Zhou Yuan stood in front of the hall, as he looked upon it with burning eyes . The second Saint Rune he deeply yearned for should be hidden somewhere inside .

After a quick scan of the surroundings, he was just about to step forward, only for his foot to come to an abrupt stop . His gaze darted towards the front in amazement, where faint cracks could be seen in the air .

An indescribable feeling of danger spread from it .

“There’s still such a terrifying seal outside the main hall?” Zhou Yuan’s expression was grave . The dangerous aura from this seal was even more frightening than the ones outside the mountain .

He had no doubt that a brief contact with the undulations from the seal was all it would take to completely obliterate himself from existence . In fact, even a Heavenly Sun stage expert would likely share the same fate .

This seal was obviously the last defense of the main hall .

An awkward look appeared on Zhou Yuan’s face . It had not been an easy task for him to pass the three trials, and he had thought everything would be smooth sailing from then onwards . Why had a seal suddenly appeared? Was he going to have to call for sect master and the rest? But if they came, they would likely discover the existence of the Saint Rune . . .


Zhou Yuan fell silent for a moment . A thought suddenly struck him all of a sudden as he smacked his head and said, “I almost forgot about it . ”

With a pat of the spatial bag at his waist, a glow rose from his palm . It was a white jade token, the signet patriarch Cang Xuan had left him in the Saint Remains Domain .

Patriarch Cang Xuan had mentioned that this signet could undo the seal .

“I’ll just have to give it a try…” Although he did not know if it would work, there was nothing else Zhou Yuan could think of .



He raised his hand as the white jade token slowly rose into the air . It moved towards the seal outside the hall and slowly made contact .

Zhou Yuan nervously watched while on full alert . He was ready to dash off the moment he felt something was wrong .

Warm, gently rays were reached out from the white jade token . As the light spread, the seal swiftly dissolved like snow that had met magma .

In a short few minutes, the seal around the main hall had completely faded away .

The distorted space gradually returned to normal .

“So simple…”

Zhou Yuan was stunned, as he involuntarily wet his lips . He was thankful that the patriarch had left him this signet . Otherwise, given his current strength, even breaking his head open would have been nowhere near enough to even give this seal a tiny shake .

He extended his hand as the white jade token fell back into it .

He looked towards the front again . There were no more obstructions outside the main hall . Hence, he quickly walked forward and pushed open the heavy doors that had been tightly shut for who knew how many years .

Creak

The doors slowly wobbled open as an ancient aura assaulted his senses .

The interior was very spacious and surprisingly still lit by burning altar lamps . The stone floor seemed to gleam like a mirror, not a single speck of dust to be seen .



Zhou Yuan’s gaze paused at the center of the hall, where a green jade statue stood . It depicted a handsome and mysterious young man whose looks were not unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan . It was the one and only patriarch Cang Xuan he had met in the Saint Remains Domain .

The jade statue of the patriarch was very lifelike, its eyes appearing deep and kindly as a mysterious aura spread from them . The statue also possessed an indescribable dignified presence .

As the once number one expert in Cangxuan Heaven, even a mere jade statue of him clearly possessed a certain aura .

“Patriarch, we meet again…”

Mumbled Zhou Yuan as he gazed at the statue and sighed .

If he had not met the fragment of patriarch Cangxuan’s Spirit in the Saint Remains Domain, he may not have come to the Cangxuan Sect . However, when he looked back now, he felt very grateful for the patriarch’s guidance . . .

He bowed to the jade status, before raising his head to ask, “I’m here patriarch . Where’s the second Saint Rune?”

There was no response from the statue, its warm and deep gaze merely continuing to stare at Zhou Yuan .

Zhou Yuan chuckled awkwardly . “So I have to find it myself?”

After speaking, he rose and began to wander about the hall . However, he failed to discover anything . In the end, he arrived back at the statue, where he found a jade seal .

The jade seal gave off a simple glow, and felt extremely heavy when Zhou Yuan picked it up . On the seal were two words, Saint Genesis .

“Could this be the peak master seal of Saint Genesis Peak?” Zhou Yuan pondered to himself . It was because this seal had been missing from Saint Genesis Peak that they had been unable to produce a peak master for so many years .



Though the peak master seal was important, Zhou Yuan did not have much interest in it, and soon put it back down .

He searched and searched, but failed to find any trace of the second Saint Rune .

This caused Zhou Yuan to grow rather anxious . Everything he had done so far was for the sake of the second Saint Rune, but now that he was here, it was nowhere to be found .

“Patriarch, you can’t have tricked me, right?”

Soon after, he sat down on the mat in front of the jade statue with a miserable face as he stared at it .

Man and statue stared at each other .

For an instant, Zhou Yuan seemed to see the jade statue’s pupils flicker for a moment .

Zhou Yuan was a little taken aback . Soon after, a certain notion struck him . He steadied his breathing as the Decoder Saint Rune slowly began rotating in the depths of his pupils with a shout in his heart .

“Decoder Saint Rune!”

The Saint Rune spun as changes began to occur to the jade statue . It gradually turned transparent as Zhou Yuan slowly inspected it . In the end, his eyes paused on the statue’s outstretched hand .

A mysterious ancient glowing rune could be seen deep within the jade, silently sitting there as it gave off a boundless aura .

Zhou Yuan’s heart began to beat like a drum the moment he saw it, as an excited look flooded his face .

The second Saint Rune was here after all!
