Chapter 67 67: Second Floor (Part 2)



It had towering walls, a massive gate, and numerous intricate carvings and statues adorning its exterior. The design was a mix of gothic and ancient architecture, making it seem like it was built by an unknown civilization long ago.

As he approached the gate, he could see that it was sealed shut by a massive lock made from an unknown metal. The lock had various intricate runes carved on it, indicating that it was no ordinary lock. Argon knew that he had to find the key to enter the tomb.

He didn\'t unlock it using the system, but challenged himself.

He searched the surrounding area and found a small altar with a book on it. The book had a riddle written on it, which was the key to unlocking the gate.

Argon carefully read the riddle, trying to decipher its meaning. The riddle went as follows:

"Born from fire, but not of it, Crafted by the hands of the ancients, Unlock the gate with its sacred touch, And enter the tomb where secrets lie."

Argon knew that the answer to the riddle was the key to unlocking the gate. He carefully thought about the clues and tried to piece them together.

"Born from fire, but not of it," he muttered to himself. "What could that mean?"

He then remembered a part of his favorite novel he read in his past life. From what he can remember it was a legendary sword that the ancients had crafted using a special process that involved melting metals from a comet that had crashed on their world. This metal was said to be born from fire but not of it.

"That must be it," he thought.

After all, all the creation of the system comes from his memories and the former hosts.

[Host, the key-]

The system didn\'t finish its sentence, because he was cut off by Argon.

"Don\'t system, I want to find the key on my own."

He then searched the surrounding for any clues. However, even after a full ten minutes of searching around, he didn\'t find anything.

[Host, you can\'t find a key here. The key can be found in one of the medium tombs.]

"System, why you didn\'t tell me earlier? I just tired myself searching around." He was at a loss.

[I\'m about to tell you, but you cut me off.]

The system said with an emotionless mechanical voice. Argon can only sigh, it was his fault after all.

"System can you get me the key?"

[Alright.]

In the next moment, a small box made of the same metal as the lock appears in his hand. The box had the same intricate runes as the lock, indicating that it was a part of the puzzle.

Argon carefully opened the box and found a hand inside. The hand had a faint glow and emitted a warmth that he could feel in his hands.

He furrowed his eyebrow, Argon thought he would find a crystal or the metal that is used to forge the legendary sword.

\'Unlock the gate with its sacred touch. So, I\'m all wrong all along.\' He thought.

He was quite embarrassed, thank goodness he was the only one here.

"System can you explain to me this riddle?"

[The riddle is quite simple, you just don\'t need to overthink it. \'Crafted by the hands of the ancients\' implies the tomb of the ancient blacksmith, which is one of the medium tombs. \'Unlock the gate with its sacred touch\' and this implies to the hands you\'re holding right now, which is the hand of the ancient blacksmith.]

"Then what about this? \'Born from fire, but not of it\'"

[It doesn\'t have any meaning.]

He was flabbergasted.

"Ok, let\'s just go inside." Argon just give up and didn\'t think about it too much.

Argon approached the gate and placed the hand on the lock. As soon as the hand touched the lock, it emitted a bright glow, and the lock began to twist and turn. After a few seconds, the lock clicked, and the gate slowly creaked open.

As he entered the tomb, he found himself in a massive dungeon. The walls were lined with torches, and the air was thick with the musty smell of ancient stone. He could hear the sound of dripping water and the distant flutter of wings.

Argon quickly scanned the room and noticed several traps that were set up to keep out unwanted visitors. So he doesn\'t need to worry about traps anymore, he then began to explore.

The inside of the tomb was like a maze, with winding corridors and numerous hidden rooms. Along the way, he found a lot of items, mostly 4-star to 5-star. He also found a bottle of 5-star healing pills.

\'Whoever gonna explore this dungeon first, will become rich overnight. That is if they survive and come out alive.\' he thought.

As he continued to explore, he stumbled upon a massive chamber with a massive pedestal in the center. The pedestal had a glowing orb on it, which radiated a powerful aura. He could feel the energy coming from the orb, and he knew that it was a powerful cultivation tool.

He approached the orb and tried to pick it up. However, as soon as he touched the orb, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and he was thrown back two steps by a powerful force.

Argon was surprised and confused. Seeing the confused Argon, the system explained.

[ This orb is called \'Elemental Fusion Orb\', this orb contains elemental energy that can help cultivators fuse their elemental power with their qi, allowing them to break through to the Core Formation Realm. And the reason why the host was repealed is that this orb is only usable for humanoid race.]

"Wait system, I\'m in a humanoid form."

[Host, I said humanoid race not humanoid form.]

"Ok." He just wanted to annoy the system, I guess it didn\'t work.

After all that, he left the chamber without looking back.

As Argon continued to explore the tomb, he found himself in a room filled with ancient scriptures and tomes.
