Fang Yue nodded, but did not completely let go of his doubts.

They continued walking and soon came to a huge stone door.

There is a giant dragon carved on the stone gate, with two sparkling gems inlaid in the dragon's eyes, shining with mysterious light, as if they have life.

"Is this where the national treasure is?"

Fang Yue looked at the stone gate and felt an unprecedented shock. He turned to look at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess also showed a solemn expression. She slowly walked to the stone gate, reached out her hand and gently touched the giant dragon carving on the stone gate.

"Yes, the national treasure is behind this door."

She took a deep breath and continued, "However, to open this door, you need the power of the Dragon Soul of Luck."

Fang Yue and the eldest princess stood in front of the huge stone gate. The atmosphere was solemn and mysterious.

The dragon eye gem carved on the giant dragon of Shimen seemed to carry an ancient power, watching them quietly.

"So, if you want to open this door, it depends on you!" The eldest princess hadn't finished her words, but her meaning was very clear.

“Haha, the eldest princess is of noble status and is a direct descendant of the Wei royal family. The power of her dragon soul is still stronger than mine.” Fang Yue smiled slightly and did not agree.

After all, it would be fine if he really had the power of the Dragon Soul of Luck.

But the dragon soul of luck he had obtained had been completely refined and transformed into his own potential. There was truly not a drop of it left.

After hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.

She was well aware of Fang Yue's concerns and also knew that his power could not be used easily.

So, she said softly: "Fang Yue, I understand your concerns. But please believe me, I don't want you to exhaust your strength. This door requires a resonance, a fit with the dragon soul."

Fang Yue still shook his head and insisted: "Princess, it's not that I don't want to help, but I don't have any dragon soul luck in my body at the moment. Even if I am willing to try, I am afraid I can't do anything."

The princess looked at Fang Yue's determined eyes and knew that it was useless to persuade him. She sighed in her heart, what a cunning boy!
Since Fang Yue is unable to take action, he can only rely on himself.

She turned around and faced the huge stone door again, took a deep breath, and tried to mobilize the dragon soul in her body.

Although she is a direct descendant of the royal family, her control and application of the dragon soul's luck are far inferior to those masters who specialize in this practice.

But at this moment, she had no choice.

Just as the princess was about to take action, there was a sudden sound of breaking air in the distance. Several figures quickly came over and landed near the stone gate in the blink of an eye.

"Haha, Princess, I didn't expect that you found the location of the national artifact before us!" A middle-aged man in brocade clothes laughed loudly.

The eldest princess turned her head and her face suddenly darkened.

These people who arrived suddenly were representatives of various forces, and they obviously came for the national treasure.

"Everyone, this door requires the luck of the dragon soul to open. Even if you come, it will be in vain." The eldest princess said coldly.

"Oh? Really? That's not necessarily true!"

Another old man in a black robe smiled sinisterly and said, "Since we dare to come here, we must have a way to open this door. However, if the princess is willing to cooperate with us, that would be great."

Fang Yue watched coldly from the side, but was secretly alert in his heart.

Although the representatives of these forces appear to be friendly on the surface, there is greed and cunning in their eyes.

He knew that if they were allowed to obtain the national treasure, there would be a bloody storm.

"Hmph, you want to cooperate? That's ridiculous! Who the hell do you think you are!" The eldest princess snorted coldly, not taking these people seriously at all.

After all, among all the forces that had come here, the one with the highest level of cultivation was only at the initial stage of transformation.

If he were to be compared to others, he would still be considered a master and a hero!

But here, it's not enough.

The eldest princess turned her head away and no longer paid attention to those greedy representatives of power. She knew in her heart that these representatives of power could not be trusted at all.

Instead of pretending to be nice to them, it is better to face the current difficulties alone.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Princess, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black with a sinister face slowly walking out.

He is none other than the leader of Shadow Pavilion - Li Shengdong.

"Li Shengdong, you are here too." The eldest princess said coldly, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"Haha, the national treasure has been born. How can our Shadow Pavilion be absent from such a grand event?"

Li Shengdong laughed loudly and swept his eyes over the stone door. "What's more, I am also quite interested in this stone door that requires the luck of the dragon soul to open."

At the same time, another figure descended from the sky, surrounded by demonic energy. It was the great elder of the Demonic Sect.

He glanced at the people present and said in a cold voice: "This national treasure is also something that my Demon Sect is determined to obtain."

Soon after, representatives from the Kunshan Sword School and the five great families also showed up one after another, expressing their strong interest in the national treasure.

For a moment, all the heroes gathered in front of the stone gate, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Fang Yue stood aside, observing all this silently.

He knew in his heart that these forces were all here for the national treasure, and they all had their own methods, so it was almost impossible for them to monopolize the treasure.

"Hmph, now that you are all here, then each of you can do what you want." The eldest princess snorted coldly.

As soon as the princess finished speaking, Shadow Pavilion Master Li Shengdong stepped forward, revealing a sneer on his sinister face: "Princess, since you said that we should each use our own methods, then don't blame us for being rude. This national treasure belongs to the capable!"

The Great Elder of the Demonic Sect also chuckled, and his demonic energy became even stronger, and it was obvious that he was also ready to strike.

The representatives of Kunshan Sword School and the five major families looked at each other and stood aside silently, intending to sit back and watch the fight and wait for an opportunity.

"Hmph, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do so." The eldest princess sneered, moved her body, and flew towards the stone gate.

She has a nimble figure, and although her cultivation is not the highest, she has the unique body movements and martial arts of the royal family, as well as the advantage of being closest to the stone gate.

The eldest princess rushed to the stone gate first, her palms pressed against the stone gate, trying to mobilize the remaining dragon soul luck in her body.

At this moment, she seemed to have some kind of resonance with the giant dragon sculpture, and the gem in the dragon's eye flashed an even brighter light.

"Boom--" The stone door slowly opened, making a dull sound.

An ancient and mysterious atmosphere gushed out from behind the door, as if long-forgotten history was about to reappear.

The eldest princess rushed in without hesitation, and her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness behind the door.

Seeing this, Li Shengdong and others also spread their bodies and followed closely. They didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The temptation of the national treasure was too great. Fang Yue's eyes flashed with hesitation, but in the end he gritted his teeth and followed in.

He knew that he didn't have the luck of dragon soul, but that didn't mean he would give up. After all, the battle had just begun, and it was still unknown who would have the last laugh.

Inside the stone gate is a long corridor.

Ancient totems and characters are carved on the stone walls on both sides, which seem to be telling a long history.

At the end of the corridor, a towering palace can be vaguely seen, and the national treasure is likely hidden inside.

Everyone quickened their pace, everyone wanted to be the first to reach the hall and seize the artifact.

However, at this moment, countless arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the corridor, attacking as densely as raindrops.

The sudden rain of arrows caught everyone off guard, especially when they found that their cultivation was suppressed in this mysterious stone gate corridor and their vital energy could not be mobilized freely, panic and chaos spread instantly.

"what--"

A disciple from Kunshan Sword School was the first to be shot by an arrow. He screamed and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a representative from the five major families was also hit by several arrows, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Shadow Pavilion Master Li Shengdong waved his black robe to block the flying arrows, his face as gloomy as water, "There is something strange here, everyone be careful!"

The chief elder of the Demonic Sect also waved his magic energy to form a protective shield to block the arrows outside. There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he obviously felt the seriousness of the situation.

Only the strongest among them can still retain some of their skills.

After waiting for another hour, the arrows stopped being shot.

After the rain of arrows stopped, a depressing and tense atmosphere filled the corridor.

Everyone looked around cautiously, fearing another sudden attack.

Fang Yue was secretly alert, thinking that there might be quite a few traps here.

"Hurry up and don't let the Princess of Wei get there first!"

We have already wasted an hour and can't delay any longer.

Li Shengdong shouted in a deep voice, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed towards the depths of the tunnel.

Seeing this, the others also started to use their skills and followed closely.

Fang Yue was mixed in the crowd, but he was secretly calculating in his mind.

If they fight head-on, with so many experts here and him being alone, he may not be their match.

Therefore, he decided to observe secretly and look for opportunities.

Along the way, the group encountered several waves of traps, but they were all solved by everyone working together.

As they continued to go deeper, they were getting closer and closer to the hall, and the temptation of the national artifact made everyone more and more anxious.

Finally, everyone arrived at the door of the hall.

I saw that the door was closed, with intricate patterns carved on it, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Fang Yue stood behind the crowd, looking at the closed door with deep eyes.

He felt the ancient atmosphere emanating from the gate, as if it was telling a long history.

He knew that what was hidden behind this door was not only the national treasure, but also a huge secret about the Wei Dynasty and even the entire cultivation world.

"It seems that this door is the final test." Li Shengdong stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

As Li Shengdong finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the mysterious door.

This is not just a door, it is more like a portal to an unknown world, full of endless temptations and challenges.

More importantly, someone has already entered this gate before them.

Li Shengdong and others felt nervous. If the eldest princess had entered the gate first, then she might have come into contact with the national treasure.

He looked around and found that other people's faces also showed nervousness and anxiety.

"We can't delay any longer. We must enter the hall as soon as possible." Li Shengdong said in a deep voice, his voice revealing a firmness and decisiveness.

Everyone nodded. They all knew that any moment of hesitation now might make them miss the opportunity.

So, everyone started to look for a way to open the door.

Li Shengdong carefully observed the patterns on the gate, and then said: "These patterns seem to be an ancient seal. We need to find a way to unlock the seal."

The chief elder of the Demonic Sect also stepped forward. He stretched out his hand and tried to use his demonic energy to sense the seal of the gate.

However, as soon as his evil spirit touched the gate, it was bounced back by a powerful force.

"What a powerful sealing force!" exclaimed the Great Elder.

Seeing that everyone was helpless, the atmosphere gradually became tense. Li Shengdong turned to Fang Yue with a gloomy look. He had already made a plan in mind.

"Fang Yue, I heard that you have shown your understanding of this ancient seal before. Now is the time for you to demonstrate your abilities." Li Shengdong spoke slowly, his voice carrying an authority that could not be refused.

Fang Yue frowned slightly. He understood Li Shengdong's intention, which was to force him to break the seal. He sighed inwardly, knowing that it was difficult to shirk at this moment, but he could not easily reveal his true identity.

"Master Li, although I have some understanding of this seal, I am not completely sure I can break it." Fang Yue said in a deep voice, trying to keep a calm tone.

"Oh? Really?" A hint of coldness flashed in Li Shengdong's eyes. "But I believe that with your ability, you will definitely find a way to crack it. If you can successfully open the door, my Shadow Pavilion will reward you handsomely."

Fang Yue sneered in his heart. Li Shengdong had a good plan and wanted to tempt him with benefits. However, he was not someone who was easily moved by benefits.

"Master Li, I am not a person who is greedy for profit. This seal is indeed complicated, and I need time to study it carefully." Fang Yue said lightly.

"Time? Humph, we don't have much time to wait for you to study slowly!" The Great Elder of the Demonic Sect snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's ever-increasing excuses.

Fang Yue glanced at the elder, knowing that these people would not give him too much time. He took a deep breath and decided to try his best, but at the same time he was secretly alert, just in case.

He walked forward and carefully observed the seal pattern on the door, his mind working rapidly, trying to find a way to break it.

However, this seal was indeed extremely complex, and even with Fang Yue's extraordinary wisdom and insight, he still found it quite difficult to solve. He knew in his heart that this was not something that could be solved in a short period of time.

At the same time, Li Shengdong and others were also watching Fang Yue's actions nervously. Although they were extremely anxious, they also knew that they couldn't rush too much at this moment, otherwise it would only backfire.

Time passed by little by little, and Fang Yue still had no clue.

After all, he doesn't have any dragon soul power.

But right after this, the door in front of him slowly opened. (End of this chapter)
