Fang Yue nodded, but he did not completely put aside his doubts.

They continued to move forward and soon came to a huge stone door.

There was a giant dragon carved on the stone door, and two dazzling gems were inlaid in the dragon's eyes, flashing a mysterious light, as if it had life.

"Is this where the national treasure is?"

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

The princess also showed a solemn look. She slowly walked to the stone door and reached out to gently touch the giant dragon carving on the stone door.

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

She took a deep breath and continued, "But to open this door, you need the power of the dragon soul."

Fang Yue and the princess stood in front of the huge stone door, and the atmosphere seemed solemn and mysterious.

The dragon eye gem carved on the stone door seemed to carry ancient power and quietly watched them.

"So, if you want to open this door, you have to rely on you!" The princess' words were not finished, but her meaning was very clear.

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

After all, if he really had the power of dragon soul luck, it would be fine.

But the dragon soul luck he got had been completely refined and turned into his own potential, which was really not a drop left.

After hearing this, the princess frowned slightly.

She knew Fang Yue's concerns and understood that his power could not be used easily.

So, she said softly: "Fang Yue, I understand your concerns. But please believe that I don't want you to exhaust your own 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 work hard, 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 again. She sighed in her heart, what a cunning boy!

Since Fang Yue couldn't make a move, she could only rely on herself.

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

Although she was a direct descendant of the royal family, her control and use of dragon soul luck was far inferior to those masters who specialized in this practice.

However, at this moment, she had no choice.

Just as the princess was about to take action, there was a burst of air-breaking sounds from afar. Several figures quickly swept over and landed near the stone door in a blink of an eye.

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

The princess turned her head and looked, her face suddenly sank.

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

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

"Oh? Really? That may not be the case!"

Another old man in black robes smiled sinisterly, "Since we dare to come, we naturally have a way to open this door. However, if the princess is willing to cooperate with us, it would be great."

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

Although these representatives of forces were friendly on the surface, their eyes flashed with greed and cunning.

He knew that once they got the national treasure, there would be a bloody storm.

"Humph, want to cooperate? How ridiculous! Who are you!" The princess snorted coldly, not taking these people seriously at all.

After all, among these forces that came, the highest cultivation level was only the beginning of the transformation.

If they were placed outside, they would still be considered masters and heroes!

But here, they were not good enough.

The princess turned her head away and ignored those greedy representatives of forces. She knew in her heart that these representatives of forces were not trustworthy at all.

Instead of pretending to be friendly with them, it would be better to face the dilemma alone.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Princess, long time no see, how are you?"

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

He was the leader of the Shadow Pavilion - Li Shengdong.

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

"Haha, the national treasure was born, such a grand event, how can my Shadow Pavilion be absent?"

Li Shengdong laughed loudly, his eyes swept 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 fell from the sky, surrounded by demonic energy, and it was the great elder of the Demon Sect.

He glanced at the people present and said coldly: "This national treasure, my Demon Sect is also determined to get it."

Immediately afterwards, representatives of the Kunshan Sword School and the five major families also appeared one after another, expressing their strong interest in the national treasure.

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

Fang Yue stood aside, observing everything silently.

He knew in his heart that these forces came for the national treasure, and they all had their own methods. It was almost impossible to monopolize the treasure.

"Humph, since everyone is here, then each of you will rely on your own methods." The 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 rely on our own means, don't blame us for being rude. This national treasure belongs to the capable!"

The Great Elder of the Demon Sect also laughed, and his demonic energy became stronger, and he was obviously ready to go.

The representatives of the Kunshan Sword Sect and the five major families looked at each other, stood aside silently, and planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for an opportunity.

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

She was agile, and although her cultivation was not the highest, she relied on the unique body movements and martial arts of the royal family, as well as the favorable condition of being closest to the stone gate.

The 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 resonance with the giant dragon carving, and the gems at the dragon's eyes flashed a brighter light.

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

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

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

Li Shengdong and others saw this 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 he finally gritted his teeth and followed in.

He knew that he didn't have the luck of the dragon soul, but it didn't mean that he gave up. After all, this battle has just begun, and it is still unknown who will laugh last.

Inside the stone door, there is a long corridor.

Ancient totems and characters are carved on the stone walls on both sides, as if telling a long history.

At the end of the corridor, a towering hall can be vaguely seen, and the national treasure is likely to be hidden in it.

Everyone accelerated forward, 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, densely attacking like 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 vitality could not be mobilized freely, panic and chaos spread instantly.

"Ah--"

A disciple of Kunshan Sword School was the first to be shot, he screamed and fell to the ground.

Then, a representative of the five major families was also shot by several arrows, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

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

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

Only the strongest of these various forces could still maintain some of their skills.

After waiting for another hour, the arrows stopped shooting.

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 in his heart, and there were probably many traps here.

"Go quickly, don't let the Princess of Wei get ahead!"

It has been delayed for an hour, and we can't delay any longer.

Li Shengdong shouted in a deep voice, and his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the depths of the corridor.

Seeing this, the others also started their body movements and followed closely.

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

If it was a head-on fight, there were so many masters here, and he was only one person, and he might not be the opponent of these people.

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

Along the way, everyone encountered several waves of traps, but they were all cracked by everyone.

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.

The door was closed, with complex patterns carved on it, revealing 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 door, as if telling a dusty history.

He knew that behind this door was not only the national treasure, but also the huge secrets about the Wei Dynasty and 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.

When Li Shengdong's voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on the mysterious door.

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

More importantly, someone has entered this door before them.

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

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

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

Everyone nodded, they all knew that every moment of hesitation now might make them miss the opportunity.

So, everyone began 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 Great Elder of the Demon Sect also stepped forward. He stretched out his palm and tried to use his magic energy to sense the seal of the gate.

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

"What a powerful seal power!" The Great Elder exclaimed.

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

"Fang Yue, I heard that you have shown your understanding of this ancient seal before. Now is the time for you to show your ability." Li Shengdong spoke slowly, with a majesty in his voice that could not be refused.

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

"Master Li, although I know something about this seal, I am not sure I can crack 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 definitely reward you handsomely."

Fang Yue sneered in his heart. This Li Shengdong was really calculating 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 covets benefits. This seal is indeed complicated. 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 it slowly!" The Great Elder of the Demonic Sect snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Fang Yue's evasion.

Fang Yue glanced at the Great Elder and knew in his heart 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 crack it.

However, this seal is indeed extremely complicated, even though Fang Yue has extraordinary wisdom and insight, he still finds it quite difficult. He knows in his heart that this is not something that can be solved in a short time.

At the same time, Li Shengdong and others are also watching Fang Yue's actions nervously. Although they are anxious, they also know that they can't rush too much at this moment, otherwise it will only backfire.

Time is passing by little by little, and Fang Yue still has no clue.

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

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