Dragon's Origin

Chapter 784: Searching for the Exquisite Pavilion, Continued (Part 2)

Wang Sheng's movements were very careful and meticulous. Although the principle of this Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box wasn't all that complex, the operation required extreme caution. A single mistake could result in utter destruction. Even if Wang Sheng wasn't afraid of that, the things preserved inside would never have another chance to see the light of day.

Click! After Wang Sheng carefully twisted for more than ten minutes, A'Qi suddenly heard a soft clicking sound.

Hearing this sound, A'Qi's heart suddenly clenched. Opening all eight keys together should produce eight sounds, not just one. Could it be that the Duke has failed?

Just as A'Qi was thinking about whether she should throw herself in front of Wang Sheng to shield him, click, click, click, a series of sounds rang out, and A'Qi's movements froze in place. She had already counted in her heart, and the sounds just now added up to exactly eight.

"Whew!" Wang Sheng raised his head and let out a long breath. Turning his head, he saw A'Qi's face full of worry and immediately gave her a smile.

"It's really complex!" Wang Sheng kept praising, "Eight lock mechanisms can be so ingeniously connected, moving one part affects the whole, and at the same time, it can drive the internal formation to link up. It's wonderful!"

A'Qi could tell that Wang Sheng's praise was very sincere, but he was saying it after he had spent only a dozen minutes and without using normal methods, only using eight metal wires to open the Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box. This gave A'Qi an absurd feeling, leaving her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If it was really so complex and so ingenious, would you be able to open it so easily in just over ten minutes? A'Qi didn't know how complex the truly complex locks in Wang Sheng's mind were. Apart from the absence of formations, the Earth almost completely crushed this world in other aspects, especially in design.

However, after discarding this thought, A'Qi suddenly realized that her man was simply omnipotent! Not to mention the miracles she had only heard of, just the things that had happened before her eyes, riding an epic-level snow sculpture, killing a mad shark that was said to be at least in the thirteenth realm, obtaining the bones of thirteenth or even fourteenth realm demon beasts, and just now, right under A'Qi's nose, Wang Sheng spent more than ten minutes using eight metal wires to open the legendary Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box that was said to be impossible to open even by its creator without the keys.

Never before had A'Qi felt such a deep, unreserved trust in Wang Sheng as she did now. She was even more convinced of Wang Sheng's guidance in her cultivation. Even if Wang Sheng told her that she could cultivate to the fourteenth realm of the White Tiger realm, even if Wang Sheng told her that he could take her to heaven, she would not doubt it at all. Oh, right, she had already been to heaven.

"Come, let's see what good things the real Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion carries with him that require the Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box to store them," Wang Sheng beckoned A'Qi to come over and take a look. At this time, when they were relying on each other for survival, shouldn't happiness be shared?

A'Qi obediently walked to the table and sat down, her eyes fixed on the opened Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box, feeling unspeakable pride in her heart. How many people in the world could have seen the Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box with their own eyes? Not to mention being able to see the contents inside, just that alone was enough for A'Qi to be proud of for several years.

Carefully opening the lid of the metal box, which was two inches thick, Wang Sheng and A'Qi saw several pieces of animal skin stacked neatly inside.

Wang Sheng took out the stack of thin animal skins and put the box back into his storage ring. This was a good thing, and it might come in handy in the future. As for the self-destruct formation, it was automatically deactivate after being opened in the correct way, so there was no need to worry about the spiritual energy being exhausted and causing an explosion.

The animal skins were叠(迭: stacked) neatly. Wang Sheng carefully opened them and found that there were three sheets. The first sheet was a map, not very detailed, in the consistent style of this world. After looking at the map, Wang Sheng directly shook his head in disdain. Wang Sheng had already made so many detailed maps, how could the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion not know to keep up with the times.

The second piece of animal skin recorded some things. Wang Sheng roughly looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face. This was guidance on how the next Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion could find the secret land of the Exquisite Pavilion. That map was the location of the secret land. You had to find someone, say the correct secret words, to be able to enter the real secret land of the Exquisite Pavilion.

As for that strangely shaped key, it was the key to open the secret vault of the Exquisite Pavilion. This piece of animal skin also recorded in detail how to use this key to open the secret vault of the Exquisite Pavilion. If the method was wrong or a certain sequence was wrong, it would be backfire by the formation of the secret vault.

The third piece of animal skin recorded the secret words of the different Grandmaster factions inherited in each secret land of the Exquisite Pavilion. Each one was different and could not be said incorrectly, otherwise, you would be attacked by all the Grandmasters in the secret land.

It could be said that with these three pieces of animal skin, Wang Sheng could rightfully take over the entire Exquisite Pavilion. The things Wang Sheng was considering to build could definitely be built in the secret land of the Exquisite Pavilion. Wang Sheng believed that the secret land of the Exquisite Pavilion must be the place where the Exquisite Pavilion mint gold coins.

Wang Sheng could roughly guess the inheritance method of the Exquisite Pavilion. It should be that the current Pavilion Master recommends, and then the eight Grandmasters who control the Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box agree. With them all present, they jointly open the Seal Box and hand over the records of these three inheritances to the new Pavilion Master, which is considered the completion of the handover between the old and new Pavilion Masters.

Originally, this was a very secure method. The Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box only existed in legends. Even the Exquisite Pavilion itself had only created one. Outsiders may have heard of the reputation of the Eight-Phased Exquisite Seal Box, like A'Qi, but they had never had the opportunity to see it. Who would have thought that someone could easily open the Seal Box without a single key?

A foolproof inheritance method, but it encountered a bug-level Wang Sheng and immediately had loopholes. I don't know what the expressions of the ancestors of the Pavilion Master several generations ago would be if they knew about this in the afterlife.

Turning back to carefully look at the map, Wang Sheng couldn't help but smile again. No wonder no one knew where the real Exquisite Pavilion was. It turned out that the secret land they chose was exactly the same as Wang Sheng's idea. They all chose a place that ordinary people could not reach—a deserted island on the vast sea.

Because of this, Wang Sheng had to take a trip. Besides, there was a brand new heavy sniper crossbow to be built, as well as Lin Xiu's long sword hairpin and A'Qi's dagger.

Taking over the Exquisite Pavilion, thinking about it, is also a happy thing.
