Chapter 2039

Things started getting interesting on the floors above.

There were books about secret techniques of martial arts as well as rare herbs and unique weapons.

To most people, those were precious items that they would probably never see in life.

Ye Fan, however, couldn't be bothered to even take an interest in them.

After all, none of the secret techniques listed there could compare to the ones in the Book of CelestialCloud.

As for the herbs, he still had plenty of those that Duanmu Wan'er had given him.

None of the weapons there felt as wieldy compared to the ones Ye Fan had obtained from India, so hehad no interest in them whatsoever.

“The Chu Sect has been around for thousands of years. Surely, this can't be the only stuff they have instore? Could it be that Chu Yuan had already taken the more precious ones with him on hiscampaign?” Ye Fan mumbled to himself as he casually strolled around the Treasure Pavilion.

Noticing that some of the slots were empty, he figured Chu Yuan must've taken the treasures out.

This time, the Chu Sect had mobilized almost all of its powerful members.

As Chu Yuan clearly wanted to finish things in one go, it was only natural that he would utilize the bestweapons stored in the Treasure Pavilion.

After touring around the place, Ye Fan came to a halt on the floor where the herbs were stored.

He then handpicked a bunch of herbs that would help with healing.

Gaius and the others had damaged their elixir fields through years of abuse, so the herbs wereessential to help get them back in fighting shape as soon as possible.

The herbs that Duanmu Wan'er had given Ye Fan were incredibly potent, but they were meant toreplenish one's elemental force and had little to no healing properties.

As such, Ye Fan had no choice but to get them the herbs himself.

Having obtained the herbs he was looking for, Ye Fan was preparing to leave the Treasure Pavilionwhen he sensed an unusual energy wave in the air.

“That's odd. Why is the elemental force a lot stronger here compared to everywhere else?” Ye Fanmuttered under his breath as he curiously followed the energy to a corner in Treasure Pavilion.

Despite having reached a dead end, Ye Fan could still feel the pure elemental force coming from thewalls.

It wasn't very obvious, but Ye Fan sensed something different about this area compared to the others.

Eventually, his gaze fell on the tiles beneath his feet.

It's coming from underneath!

With that in mind, Ye Fan bent over and gave the tiles a light tap.

It's hollow! So, there really is a hidden mechanism underneath!

Without further hesitation, Ye Fan removed the tiles from the floor and saw a long passageway wherehe stood.

A huge amount of elemental force came flooding out of the hole in the floor.

Hmm... Are there truly valuable treasures hidden inside? Why would they try so hard to keep it hiddenotherwise?

Feeling curious, Ye Fan cautiously made his way into the hole.

The passageway was long, narrow, and dark.

After walking through the darkness for quite a long time, Ye Fan finally saw a glimmer of light in front ofhim.

Ye Fan followed the light source and stepped through the opening, only to end up on a wide, grassyplain.

The grass was luxuriant, and flowers could be seen blooming everywhere.

A river flowed beneath his feet, and the sound of birds chirping filled the area.

It was like a paradise of some sort.

In front of him was a path made of stone that looked as though it would take him straight to heaven.

Ye Fan slowly walked along that path until he arrived at a gigantic door.

The door was completely black and had two dragons carved on each side. The dragons looked asthough they were alive and would take off at any moment.

On top of that, the body of the door had a creepy pattern carved into it.

It looked like words from an unknown language.

Whatever that pattern was, Ye Fan found it incredibly odd for such a door to be in a place like this.

This looks so strange... What kind of door is this?

Ye Fan couldn't seem to figure it out after examining it thoroughly.

The two stone doors stood tall in the middle of a grassy plain with nothing else in front or behind them.

It was as though someone had stolen those doors and placed them here.

Ye Fan tried pushing the door down from the side, but it was planted firmly into the ground.

To his surprise, the door refused to budge even after he pushed at it with Dragon God Body.

There's definitely something wrong with this door!

Ye Fan frowned at the thought of that.

He tried recalling everything he knew about the Chu Sect but found no information about this stonedoor.

Even Great-grandma has never mentioned anything about this to me... Well, whatever. I'll just askGreat-grandma about it some other time!

Unable to replace out anything about the door, Ye Fan gave up on examining it further.

He was about to leave when his gaze fell upon the two black dragons on the door. Right as his eyesmet those of the two dragons, the strangest thing happened.

As if the two dragons had suddenly come to life, their eyes emitted a bright red light that illuminated thesurrounding area.

Ye Fan's body was frozen in place when he saw the red light.

The next thing he knew, the look in his eyes had turned lifeless, and his legs had given out beneathhim.

Thud!

Just like that, the Hall Master of the Dragon God Hall was kneeling on the ground like a devout disciplewelcoming his god.

A loud rumbling noise tore through the area, and the ground started shaking violently as the tightly shutstone door slowly opened.

A blinding white light came pouring through the opening of the door.

In his dazed state, Ye Fan could hear a faint, ancient voice calling out to him from within.

It was as if the door of fate had just been opened.

Ye Fan's eyes were still lifeless as he got up and slowly stepped forward.

Like a moth drawn to a flame, he continued walking toward the open door.

The ground continued shaking violently as the door opened even more.

The blinding white light grew increasingly intense as Ye Fan got closer to the door.

Eventually, he arrived right in front of the door and took a step through it.

Right as the white light was about to engulf his body completely, a green beam of light came out of hischest.

The beam shot right up into the sky and went through anything in its path.

For some reason, that snapped Ye Fan out of his dazed state, and his eyes were filled with life again.

Realizing that half of his body had stepped through the creepy door, Ye Fan quickly backed away inshock.

It wasn't until he put at least a few hundred feet between him and the door that he regained hiscomposure.

Boom!

As if it had detected Ye Fan's absence, the open stone door slammed itself shut all of a sudden.

With the blinding white light gone, the surrounding went back to their calm state.

It was almost as if Ye Fan had dreamed everything up.

The black stone door was still standing there with the two dragons on each side.

Ye Fan was the only one who knew what he had just experienced.

This door could take over my mind? What the heck is this thing? I remember my mind going blank, andI felt someone or something controlling my body!

The mere thought of what had happened earlier was enough to send shivers down Ye Fan's spine.

He then pulled out an ancient piece of jade with the word “Yanhuang” written on it.

It was the Order of Yanhuang that Duanmu Wan'er had given him.

“I thought this piece of junk was completely useless, but it saved my life just now!” he mumbled tohimself.

The green light from earlier had come from the Order of Yanhuang.
