Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 279 The Key to Breaking the Mold of the Mysterious Inheritance

The moment the light struck Zhang Peng's forehead, he felt a roar in his mind, and countless pieces of information flooded in like a tidal wave. This information was ancient and mysterious, concerning the origins of the ruins and the secrets of the bead. It turned out that this bead was called the "Spiritual Illusion Bead," a treasured heirloom left by the ruins' owner, whose inheritance could only be triggered by those who resonated with the power of chaos.

The inheritance contained not only profound cultivation techniques but also methods for deciphering the many mechanisms hidden within the ruins. Zhang Peng was completely absorbed, eagerly absorbing this knowledge. Xia Lijuan watched anxiously from the side, able to see the constant changes in Zhang Peng's expression, but dared not utter a sound to disturb him.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Peng slowly opened his eyes, a wise light flashing within them, and his entire demeanor subtly changed. "Brother Peng, how are you?" Xia Lijuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

Zhang Peng grasped Xia Lijuan's hand and smiled, saying, "I'm fine. Not only am I fine, but I've also gained a great deal. This Spiritual Illusion Pearl has given me a legacy. Now I know how to solve the mechanisms in the ruins and how to enhance our strength."

A look of surprise flashed in Xia Lijuan's eyes: "Really? That's wonderful!" Zhang Peng nodded, walked to the statue, and reached out to grasp the Spiritual Illusion Pearl. In an instant, the pearl shone brightly, enveloping the two of them. Under the light, Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan felt their spiritual power rapidly increasing, and their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth becoming increasingly profound.

Meanwhile, outside the ruins, the group of black-clad cultivators continued their frenzied attack on the stone gate. The leader, a cold-faced man, though severely wounded, refused to give up. "Keep attacking! We must open this gate! We can't let them take the treasure!" he shouted hoarsely.

The stone gate trembled violently under the attack, on the verge of collapse. Just then, Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan completed the inheritance. Zhang Peng activated the technique he had comprehended from the inheritance, perfectly fusing the power of chaos with the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Illusion Pearl, creating a powerful protective barrier that firmly protected the stone gate.

"Hmph, you think you can get in?" Zhang Peng sneered, his voice carrying through the stone door. The stern-faced man, hearing Zhang Peng's words, was enraged: "Kid, don't be so cocky. Wait till we open this door, you'll be sorry!"

Zhang Peng ignored him and, based on the information in the inheritance, began searching for other secrets within the ruins. He discovered some mysterious runes hidden on the walls of the stone chamber. These runes were similar to, yet different from, the runes he had seen before in front of the stone door.

Using the knowledge he had inherited, Zhang Peng began to decipher the runes. As he deciphered them, the runes flashed and gradually combined to form a map. The map marked the locations of various hidden areas within the ruins, as well as the routes leading to the final treasure.

"Lijuan, we've found a way out!" Zhang Peng said excitedly to Xia Lijuan. Xia Lijuan looked at the map, her eyes full of anticipation: "Then let's hurry up and leave, we can't let the outsiders catch up."

Following the map's directions, the two traversed the ruins. Along the way, they encountered various traps and mechanisms, but Zhang Peng easily overcame them all thanks to the knowledge he had gained from the inheritance.

Finally, they arrived at a huge, secret chamber. The door to the chamber was tightly closed, covered with strange patterns that emanated powerful spiritual energy. Zhang Peng circulated his spiritual energy, channeling the power of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Illusion Pearl into the patterns on the door.

As spiritual energy was infused, the patterns on the door flickered and slowly began to rotate. After a muffled thud, the door to the secret chamber slowly opened, and a rich surge of spiritual energy rushed out.
