Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning Chapter 1490 - 562: Opening the Door (Part 3)

Even the veteran Jianghu wanderers who have traversed the martial world for many years are no match for him.

Despite this impression, no matter how amiable his smile, Xin Huai couldn’t help but worry whether this person might just turn around and sell him out.

After all, he plans so astutely; how could he possibly not know soone would co to capture him?

Now, with both of them here, it speaks volus.

Su Mo chuckled softly:

"Forgive , Brother Xin, this place is a secret chamber located beneath Cui Xin Temple.

"The door can only be opened using your Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture technique, Brother Xin.

"Having co here today, we cannot return empty-handed from a treasure mountain. Please, Brother Xin, make it possible."

Upon hearing this, Xin Huai finally sighed:

"Young Alliance Leader Su... did you know about this when you were on Tianqi Island?"

"Indeed."

Su Mo did not deny anything.

"So... I didn’t actually need to beg you to let board the ship that day?"

Xin Huai asked again.

Su Mo nodded once more:

"That’s right. If Brother Xin hadn’t boarded, even if tied up, we would have brought you along."

Xin Huai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"Young Alliance Leader Su, speaking so candidly, aren’t you worried I might refuse to open the door for you?"

"At this stage, it’s clear that Brother Xin already understands the before and after."

Su Mo smiled: "This is not sothing that can be glossed over by concealing the truth. Since Brother Xin has doubts, I might as well be frank. Whether Brother Xin opens the door or not is entirely in your hands.

"If you open the door, we will proceed to explore.

"If not, we turn around and leave..."

Xin Huai laughed heartily:

"Truly deserving of the title Young Alliance Leader Su.

"Such openness and integrity makes deeply admire you.

"Coincidentally, my Xin Family has explored this place several tis, but later never ntioned a word.

"The things inside have long been coveted...

"Today, with Young Alliance Leader Su’s skills, we can finally unveil them."

After saying this, he approached the door, looked at the grand door, and began to channel his Inner Strength, preparing to act.

When suddenly the Hidden Sword Hermit called out:

"Hold on."

Xin Huai, who was focusing intently, shivered in fright, almost letting out a cry.

Once he cald down, he angrily demanded, "What is it?"

"You’ve done it wrong."

The Hidden Sword Hermit casually took out a brush from his small box.

He dipped it into so ink and then drew an undulating line on the door.

Pointing to a spot, he said:

"With the Inner Strength of your Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture, start here and slowly move to the other end.

"Rember to listen for changes in sound. If there’s a change, you must start over."

"..."

Skeptical, Xin Huai glanced at Su Mo, who nodded, and so Xin Huai took a breath, applied a palm, and began moving slowly as instructed by the Hidden Sword Hermit.

His hand moved, and imdiately there ca a ’thud thud thud’ sound from within the door.

Clearly, sothing inside was moving.

Upon hearing actual sounds from within the door, Xin Huai couldn’t help but be delighted.

The motion of his palm accelerated by threefold.

Soon he felt a lightness in his hand, followed by a clattering sound, then finally a click.

Xin Huai looked at Hidden Sword Hermit in disbelief:

"What is this?"

"Just a failure, no need to worry, simply try again."

Hidden Sword Hermit waved his hand:

"As expected, you must precisely control your Inner Strength, avoiding hastiness and sluggishness. Try a few more tis...

"However, let warn you.

"You cannot keep trying endlessly.

"This chamber is surrounded entirely by Xizhou Fire God Oil.

"Starting over once or twice is insignificant.

"Too many attempts may disrupt the delicate balance inside the door.

"If the Xizhou Fire God Oil bursts out.

"Then... this chamber will be ruined."

"!!!!"

Xin Huai’s eyes widened in shock; such a circumstance exists here?

Unable to resist, he turned to Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled broadly:

"Brother Xin, please feel free to proceed... no need to be nervous."

Xin Huai’s scalp tingled; isn’t this more nerve-racking?

But with things as they were, he had no choice.

He could only grit his teeth and go for it.

He imdiately repositioned himself, slowly extended a palm, and let his inner breath enter the door, suddenly feeling a tug from sothing inside.

Moving his hand gradually, ensuring the object remained linked with his Inner Strength at all tis.

If too fast, the link with the Inner Strength weakens and eventually breaks. If too slow, the Inner Strength depletes excessively, potentially failing to reach the destination.

To grasp the proper rhythm, one must concentrate wholly.

Xin Huai simply closed his eyes, forgetting all surroundings, focusing solely on himself and the stone within the door.

As the stone inside the door approached the target, Xin Huai felt it increasingly burdenso.

The depletion of Inner Strength increased exponentially, leading to a sweat-soaked brow.

Especially in the final short stretch, each advance felt like moving a mountain.

He was on the brink but his Inner Strength was thoroughly exhausted.

Unable to resist, he opened his eyes:

"Not good!"

At the mont those two words landed, he felt a hand resting on his shoulder.

The next second, a surge of Inner Strength rushed in, pushed forward smoothly, resulting in a clicking sound.

Followed by the sound of chanisms working within the door.

Xin Huai stood there in disbelief:

"It’s...it’s open!?"

He turned to see Su Mo standing right behind him.

Su Mo smiled:

"Thank you for your cooperation, Brother Xin."

As those words ended, the door separated vertically into two.

A musty aroma surged from within the door.

Su Mo flicked his sleeve, casually dispelling the unpleasant sll out of the passage.

He looked up.

The chamber wasn’t large, piles of gold and silver jewelry stacked in a corner.

Shelves lined the sides, loaded with bamboo scrolls in abundance.

On a desk directly at the front lay two items.

A black umbrella.

In front of the umbrella were two rolls of bamboo scrolls.
