Legend of the Ruler Sword
12. A Fire Guard.

“Ah yes what is your purpose for coming here? Towards a dark like this there has never been someone who came to this place.”

“The big teacher asked me to investigate somewhere ... You're the one who's always alone here, do you know of many places here?”

Bai An nodded, the back area of the college is the most convenient place for him. Sepi and away from the noise of other students, he here is also more able to blend with nature.

"Of course, I often walk up to the green fields at the foot of the hill."

"Then what about the Chou Valley? Do you know much about the mysterious lake there?"

"Sure, there's no lake there."

"You don't know that either?"

"There is no lake."

"There, the lake is indeed mysterious, even great masters do not know about it. That's why the master teacher asked me to find out what the danger was or what the interesting thing there was."

***

The reflection of the king of the night was clearly depicted on the lake, because the lake was so clean and not rippling. The moonlight illuminated the place, although it was slightly dim but it was enough to make some flowers that thrived on the outskirts of the lake visible. The footsteps of two young men began to be seen at the edge of the lake.

"I never knew there was a lake here."

Bai An did often go around behind the college not even rarely to the Chuo valley but not once did he know that behind the thickets there was a lake like this.

"Hmm, if it's daytime this place must be very beautiful isn't it?"

Yuan nodded, he had come to this place with Yihua the other day, this place is indeed so beautiful. A very suitable place to use to relax and see the soothing beauty of nature.

"But Yuan, it seems like I feel no other energy other than calm energy. Indeed the energy is quite large but this energy I don't think is dangerous."

"Not here, come with me."

Yuan took Bai An around the half of the lake, and they came to a stone staircase that caught Yuan's attention yesterday.

"A basement room?"

"Pull to enter?"

Bai An nodded, "of course."

The two of them began to enter the stairs, a passageway stretched not too long but dark. What made Yuan and Bai An look at each other was that at the end of the hall it looked bright, like there was lighting.

"Is there anyone who keeps this place?" bai An asked Yuan.

"It couldn't have been yesterday when I came here, the stone steps were covered with thick grass."

"Then let's go there."

Yuan nodded and quickly stepped his feet towards the end of the hall.

Maybe if it was a naturally formed cave then it was not strange, but this was indeed a room that seemed to be deliberately created by someone.

After arriving at the end of the passageway, Yuan and Bai An refuted his eyes. A scene that managed to surprise them was a blue-colored flame that lined up to make the room bright.

The fire was floating in the absence of wood or other things as a buffer or fuel.

"Why is there eternal fire here?"

"Eternal fire has great energy, usually this eternal flame keeps a place from being polluted with black energy."

"I've also heard of Yuan, he said a place guarded by immortal flames would not be able to enter black energy."

Yuan looked around him, this room was indeed quite spacious. With the floor, the walls and also the top were stones, which were a little strange on the walls filled with carvings. Then his gaze was shifted to the wall with a door in the middle, the door was made of gold and also filled with carvings.

There was no algae on the door, just a small keyhole.

Slapps,

Booms.

As Yuan tried to smash the door with his profound strength, it was precisely that power bounced off the profit that they immediately dodged.

"A cultivation of any height cannot break through this door, only the key from it can."

"There's still an impenetrable door like this?"

Yuan nodded. Any move will actually bounce and boomerang for the person himself so impenetrable, not only for the door but the stone wall also applies the same system.

"I became even more astonished by this place, how it could be guarded with such an impenetrable system. Is there something behind this door?"

"I don't know either, but I'm sure that the person who created this security system isn't an ordinary person either."

"Is it possible that there are spiritual animals locked inside?"

"Maybe your guess is correct, if we find the key it might just be able to get the core of the spiritual beast inside."
