The closer Shu Jing got to the mural, the more aggressive the Spirit Engulfing Flood Dragons became. Lin Ying Mei followed closely behind and protected him with all her might. She was extremely puzzled about why Shu Jing was just standing in front of the painting, stubbornly observing it and refusing to move on.
Shu Jing leaned closer to the mural, the more he inspected it the more vivid and lifelike it became. The figure of the Green Dragon looked like it was about to burst out at a moment's notice. Inside the dragon's mouth was a pearl with seven small blinking stars carved upon it. Shu Jing's eyes lit up, without any hesitation his hand shot towards the stars and pressed down on one of them gently. The moment that his finger made contact, a brilliant thin ray of light appeared from within the star.
When Shu Jing saw this, he immediately pressed down on all seven stars simultaneously, his heart full of expectation for a special event to happen. But on the contrary, the seven stars only briefly flickered to life before slowly turning back into a normal carving.
"Master, more Spirit Engulfing Flood Dragons are coming out from inside the Astral Gemstone faster and faster, we must leave this place at once!" Lin Ying Mei called out in a panicked tone, she really didn't want to end up as a meal for these flood dragons, that kind of death would not be satisfying at all.
Shu Jing turned around and stared unblinkingly at the 7 pillars inside the throne room, and then looked at the 7 stars on the pearl. The way they were arranged was very similar to each other.
"Hold on for just a little more!" Shu Jing's mind was circulating at lightning speed, he once again pressed down on all the 7 stars, but this time in a certain order.
The seven stars on the pearl once again blinked to life, a deeply muffled sound rang out.
The dragon spat out the pearl in its mouth as the loud sound of the wall slowly moving came to an end. In place of the pearl's location now appeared a hidden passageway. Lin Ying Mei and Shu Jing were both startled by this development.
Shu Jing didn't waste anytime scrutinizing the newly appeared passageway. He immediately swung his arm and shouted: "Let's go!" Lin Ying Mei gathered her strength and swept the Flood Dragons aside with her Arctic Star Serpent Spear and followed Shu Jing into the hidden passageway.
After they made their way inside the hall, they realised that they were surrounded by complete darkness. The light from the outside simply could not enter this place. Luckily, this was also the Spirit Engulfing Flood Dragon's weakness, because without light they cannot find their targets at all.
After lighting up a small torch, the illuminated Ling Ying Mei turned and asked , "What did Master just do to unlock this secret passage?"
Shu Jing didn't immediately answer, but instead he took out some items from inside his pouch. There was a small slab of crystal and a jade marble in his hand. "Thanks to you giving me a hint, I managed to retrieve these. It seems like the creator of this Legacy and I think in the same way."
"This is...?" Lin Chong released her divine soul to inspect the items in his hand, suddenly her face showed a surprised expression, "The Profound Astral Barrier!!"
"No way, this is the Profound Astral Barrier?" Shu Jing was taken aback, and he carefully re-evaluated the palm-sized piece of jade in his hand. Just looking on the surface, there wasn't a single trace of Artifact energy coming from within the treasure, but if Lin Ying Mei said that it was the Profound Astral Barrier, then it must be true.
