Eunuch Jin nodded slightly, "Confird, let's begin."
The old man took a deep breath, said no more, and pressed his right palm onto the table.
The seemingly ordinary wooden table began to tremble, its surface peeling off, revealing complex etched patterns inside.
As the old man continuously injected Primordial Qi, a faint golden light gradually brightened, tracing along the patterns, an invisible wave surged out.
It seed as if nothing had happened, but Chen Mo could vaguely feel an unseen thin mbrane enclosing the entire building, isolating it from the outside; the whole Heavenly Armory beca a completely independent space.
The old man's right hand never left the tabletop, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, seeming sowhat fatigued, and said, "There's a restriction on Divine Skills within the Imperial Palace, I can only maintain this for fifteen minutes, during which no one can know what happens here."
"Whatever needs to be done, do it quickly."
"Alright."
Eunuch Jin turned to look at Chen Mo, solemnly said, "Mr. Chen, do you rember what I ntioned to you before?"
At this mont, Chen Mo also recalled, nodding, "Eunuch said, if I manage to enter the third level of the armory, I must choose the painting hanging on the wall, that is the true royal inheritance."
"Hurry up, whether successful or not, you must leave after fifteen minutes," Eunuch Jin urged, "As for other matters, once you obtain that painting, you'll naturally understand."
Chen Mo turned and walked towards the stairway.
Despite having doubts in his heart, he didn't ask more questions, no matter what, the Empress Baby couldn't possibly harm him.
After he left, the hall's atmosphere quieted down.
Eunuch Jin and the black-clad old man exchanged glances, rarely refraining from squabbling.
"Is it really him?"
"The possibility is quite high."
"How are you sure?"
"He has united with the Dao, and moreover, it's a divine union."
"..."
The black-clad old man fell into a long silence.
After a long while, he spoke, "You should also know, this kind of chance only cos once, regardless of success or failure, it will be noticed by that person, what if we're mistaken..."
"But it must be tried to be sure," Eunuch Jin said calmly with his hands behind his back, "And this upheaval is a clear signal, the palace has been peaceful for so long, yet just for him it's chosen now to act?"
The black-clad old man pondered, "Are you saying that person also discovered the coming change?"
"Very likely, perhaps even earlier than we did," Eunuch Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone sowhat heavy, "Anyhow, we can't drag it any longer, we can't let everything the Empress Xu did go to waste..."
Hearing this, the black-clad old man's face tightened, teeth clenched, a flash of anger swept through his eyes.
"If he can comprehend the content of the painting, then the identity of the 'foretold person' will be firmly established."
Eunuch Jin turned his head, looking towards the stairway direction, secretly thought: "Chen Mo, don't let down!"
...
...
Chen Mo reached the top step and pushed open an iron door, entering the third level of the Heavenly Armory.
Seeing the scene before him, his expression was slightly surprised.
Initially thinking the third level would be as vast as the previous two, filled with countless treasures, what he didn't expect was that this space was surprisingly small, barely comparable to his bedroom.
In the center stood a solitary wooden shelf, with about dozens of items on it.
Without any divine light, nor any celestial aura, and covered in dust, it appeared sowhat shabby.
"Just this?"
"What kind of treasure trove, could it be a hoax?"
Chen Mo walked forward, casually picking up a crystal stone, its surface looked like semi-transparent glass, sealing a drop of black liquid inside.
Text hints flashed before his eyes:
[Dao Mark·Rootless Water: After absorption, there's a chance to comprehend the Power of Laws.]
"...Sorry."
Chen Mo silently placed the crystal stone back.
Ultimately, he underestimated the foundation of the Great Yuan Royal Family.
Dao Fragnts carrying the Power of Laws, just so casually placed here?
He roughly scanned around, the basic magical treasures here were all Heavenly Rank Middle Grade, besides Rootless Water, there were also Ghost Craftsmanship, Red Dust Miasma, Bone Blood Contract... and so on, so Law Dao Marks he had never heard of before.
However, the Great Dao paths are manifold, all evolved from the seven fundantal origins.
For Chen Mo, who has already perceived three origin auras, it indeed wasn't too intriguing.
And he hasn't forgotten the focus this ti—
On the white wall behind the wooden shelf, hangs a painting, its base color pitch black, like dense dark clouds.
Amid which a winding shadow faintly appeared, who knows what kind of pignt was used, the inky scales glimred with a tallic sheen, looking almost alive.
"This is the mural Eunuch Jin wanted to see?"
Chen Mo reached out and touched it.
Just a normal canvas texture, nothing seed special, moreover the system hadn't given any hints either.
"Strange..."
Just as he felt puzzled, a force suddenly triggered the Qi within him, within the Spirit Platform, the Seven Dragon Constellations lit up one after another, the purple and gold Dragon Qi surged endlessly in the Dantian.
At the sa ti, the painting started to move!
Dark clouds roiled, erging through the paper, before he could react, he was directly engulfed by the black tide!
Whoosh—
Chen Mo reached out but couldn't see his fingers, wind sounds echoed in his ears.
Not sure how long it took, his vision gradually restored, looking around, he realized he was suspended ten thousand ters high!
Surrounded by lead-gray seas of clouds, and below was Tiandu City.
Only due to the high distance, the whole city looked palm-sized, Chen Mo exerted his Vision Power, focusing, could still see large amounts of collapsed buildings in the city, as well as people weaving through the streets.
