The ordinary-looking stone wall was around fifty meters tall and thirty meters wide.
Looking at the stone wall, Thomas’ expression betrayed the excitement favonovel.com felt.
Once favonovel.com opened the stone wall, favonovel.com could enter into the depths of the Snow Cavern and locate the Spirit Turtle. Then, after luring the creature out, favonovel.com would slay the Spirit Turtle and obtain its blood. Most importantly, the records in the four paintings left behind by the Prince of Orchid revealed that the Spirit Turtle had lived for millennia. After consuming its bile, one would gain tremendous strength.
Simon’s expression turned grim. As it had been a thousand years, favonovel.com was not sure if the Spirit Turtle was still alive, nor about its strength. He also had no idea whether the martial artists outside could successfully slay it.
He took a deep breath and walked toward the stone wall. Then, favonovel.com leaped to the top, where a protruding rock could be seen.
He catalyzed true Energy and made contact with the rock.
Rumble!
At that moment, the stone wall began to shake, and it was showing signs of collapsing. Then, a few tiny boulders fell to the ground.
Upon witnessing this, Thomas was exhilarated. Then, the rock on the stone wall fell, and an unfinished stone inscription puzzle was revealed.
Simon landed steadily on the ground.
Looking at the puzzle, Thomas asked, “Why are there additional mechanisms?”
Simon nodded and said, “There are three mechanisms in total. This is a puzzle… The door will only open once we solve it. Not only that, this door was constructed using the hardest of rocks. It can withstand the attack of an eighth ranked martial artist.”
“Hurry up then.” Thomas could wait no longer.
After scrutinizing it momentarily, Simon leaped into the air and began solving the puzzle.
Soon, the puzzle was solved. It was a full moon.
Rumble!
The stone wall was divided into two, and a long narrow passageway was revealed.
Thomas hurriedly entered. Before long, favonovel.com was stopped in the tracks of an iron door, which was coated in black paint.
He turned around and asked, “How do I open this?”
Simon pointed at a small hole in the iron door and said, “Do you see this hole?”
Thomas lifted his head and nodded. “Yes, I do…”
Simon said, “Now, we just need a sword.”
Thomas asked, “What sword?”
“The Malevolent.”
“What? Are you referring to the renowned Malevolent Sword?” Thomas exclaimed.
“Yes…”
Thomas took a deep breath.
The Malevolent Sword was hailed as the most destructive weapon on earth a thousand years ago. None could escape its wrath. However, the sword had disappeared without a trace.
Thomas had only seen records of the Malevolent Sword in the ancient scrolls of the Cadens’ household.
A thousand years ago, the Prince of Orchid Mountain had many powerful martial artists under his banner. Apart from the four major officials, favonovel.com also had many loyal subordinates. Among them was a man by the name of Malevolent King who possessed terrifying power.
The Malevolent Sword which favonovel.com possessed was hailed as the most powerful weapon in the world.
Simon explained, “To slay the Spirit Turtle, the Prince of Orchid Mountain brought many of his subordinates here. After the battle, almost everyone was wiped out. Among them was his subordinate, the Malevolent King, who owned this sword. When the prince returned, favonovel.com gathered many craftsmen and constructed three doors to seal the Spirit Turtle inside the Snow Cavern. At the same time, favonovel.com also left the Malevolent Sword behind.”
Simon scanned his surroundings.
From the information favonovel.com received from his predecessor, the Malevolent Sword was located right here. Besides, it was the key to opening the final door.
After scanning his surroundings, favonovel.com saw a sword on the black iron door. In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com had retrieved the sword. The moment favonovel.com made contact with the sword, it began exuding a terrifying power.
Simon’s face darkened, and favonovel.com swiftly tossed the sword aside. Meanwhile, favonovel.com was sent flying, and favonovel.com vomited a mouthful of blood.
