Chapter 438: A Change of Strategy (1/2)
After suppressing her anxiety, Bai Luochu turned to face Pei Qingfeng and asked, “So, do you know anything about dragons?” She seemed a little surprised when she saw the agitated expression on his face.
Even though he felt unsure of the myth he heard, he decided to tell her everything he knew.
“The pattern on the door does vaguely look like a dragon, but I do not know if they look like the dragons that I have heard of from myths and legends. Those dragons are shrouded in mystery and not much is known about them. It is possible that the dragon pattern on the entrance is a totem used to bless the Desolate Region with rain. However, I doubt that the totem is useful, seeing the cracks in the land of the Desolate Region…”
Bai Luochu nodded silently and sat in front of the door as she fell deep in thought.
The dragon that Bai Luochu heard of was different from the one in Pei Qingfeng’s story. During her time at the Thousand Brilliance Temple, she found an ancient book in the library archives. The cover of the book was decorated with legendary beasts and one of them was a dragon. In the book, it was said that there once lived a man with overwhelming strength. He managed to form a pact with a dragon and took it in as a pet.
What if dragons really existed… Bai Luochu chuckled to herself as she shook her head. It didn’t matter if dragons really existed. With her current level of cultivation, she wasn’t strong enough to form a pact with a baby dragon even if she tried. Whatever the case, I should remain hopeful. Everyone can have dreams, right?
“What does the myth have to do with opening the door to the ruins?” Pei Qingfeng asked out of curiosity.
Bai Luochu remained silent for a moment and stared at the diagram of the dragon on the door. She suddenly cried out, “I think I know how to open the door!”
Because the door is a spiritual artifact, we need to open it by infusing spirit qi!
However, which part of the door do we need to inject our spirit qi into?
As she ran her hands over the life-like dragon pattern on the surface of the entrance, Bai Luochu came to a sudden realization. This has to be it! As soon as the thought appeared in her mind, she felt a slight indentation on the door.
What’s this?! She thought to herself, but the answer soon presented itself. The part where the door sunk in was precisely where the eye of the dragon was located.
Pei Qingfeng carefully stared at the spot Bai Luochu’s hand was on and he quickly reached over to feel it. “You’re right! There is something missing here!”
