Chapter 649 - 352: Fox Mountain Sword Saint Can Pry Open the Blocked Stone Door
Bang! Bang!
Amidst the roaring of excavators, the giant pit grew deeper and more soil was moved outside the pit.
A mysterious black stone temple, originally buried under the dirt, gradually revealed its form at the center of this giant pit!
The stone temple had no flying eaves or roof, only a flat top carved from a whole giant stone.
The stone temple’s walls had no windows, only various runes, dense yet seemingly chaotic, but with a strange pattern.
At the bottom of the pit, in front of the stone temple, was a heavy stone door.
The fox operating the excavator, the fox wielding a shovel, and the fox piloting the Big Mushroom Ship all gathered in front of this door, quietly watching.
All eyes were on Quanquan Hu, wearing Immortal Qi Vine Armor, as he approached the door, raised his fox claw, and knocked with a muffled "thud thud" sound.
"Thud thud."
Quanquan Hu knocked twice more, listening carefully.
Then he turned around, facing his fellow brothers, folded his front paws behind him, and adopted a solemn expression.
"Yip yip woof woof..."
This door...
The brothers widened their eyes and pricked their ears, waiting to hear Quanquan Hu’s discovery.
"...Woof woof yip yip yip!"
...It’s quite thick!
The brothers nearly stumbled from this shocker!
Everyone could tell from the sound whether it was thick or not; they weren’t deaf—did he really need to say it?
Quanquan Hu scratched his head, grinning awkwardly.
"Yip yip woof woof woof!"
This door is indeed thick!
From his experience, this door, though only two meters high, might be four or five meters thick, almost like a pillar stuffed into the doorway.
If one wants to open it... hmm?
Quanquan Hu tilted his head, squinting as he glanced behind the excavator not far away.
Hmm?
The fox brothers also followed Quanquan Hu’s gaze, turning their heads in unison.
They saw behind the excavator a sneaky figure, revealing only half a sword tip... it was the Lazy Sword, Chixue Qianshan, hiding away for fear of being called for work!
...
Inside the Bronze Hall.
Bai Mo held a document from the Celestial Law Court, frowning.
"Only a Celestial Immortal of Sequence Six is qualified to learn the Immortal Technique of the Root System Domain?"
Beside him, Small and Big Eyes and Butterfly Knot, one holding tea and the other licking crumbs of butterfly pastry from the corners of their mouth, leaned their heads in, watching the Copper Plate with their master.
The number of documents was small, so their work was much more leisurely.
Besides helping the master monitor things, they helped him finish tea and snacks, preventing them from going stale and becoming unpalatable!
Bai Mo frowned, feeling a strange taste in his heart.
"This could be considered good news.
"Excavating so many Celestial Law Courts indicates that the document storage of the Root System Domain is not far off.
"But... what I’ve been learning were all non-martial domains?
"The strongest in combat, I left until the last?"
Bai Mo smacked his lips, but upon reconsidering, even though he learned other domains first, it hadn’t delayed anything for him, so he grinned and felt relieved again.
...
At the excavation front line, at the bottom of the pit.
The foxes surrounded Chixue Qianshan, yipping and yowling, all talking at once, speaking in Fox Mountain dialect, performing the Sword Control Technique!
"Yip yip yip, woof woof woof..."
...For such a stone door, if White Claw were here, they could pry it open with one sword!
"Woof woof woof, yip yip..."
...This old guy is probably too seasoned to manage it.
"Woof woof yip yip yip!"
...White Claw has done it before! But you can’t compare him to White Claw!
"Woof woof woof yip yip..."
...White Claw can do it, he can’t, and that’s perfectly normal. After all, each has their strengths!
The old guy beside them blushed furiously, nostrils flaring in frustration!
"Who exactly is White Claw?
"I’ve cultivated for ten thousand years, been tempered for ten thousand years, and why should I be compared to a fox?"
He suddenly spotted a Bronze Mask nearby.
"Tell me, can that fox really pry open such a giant blocking stone with a single sword?
"I don’t trust them; I only trust you!
"Immortal Artifacts don’t lie to Immortal Artifacts!"
The Bronze Mask hovered nearby, rising and falling, with a peculiar expression.
The foxes also stopped their chatter, quietly looking at the Bronze Mask.
Quanquan Hu quietly made a gesture with two fingers to the mask, meaning two bowls of nourishing tonic!
Seeing the mask’s expression still changing, he frowned, hesitated, and then extended another fluffy finger!
Instantly!
Under the gaze of all the foxes and the Sword Soul’s glaring stare, the Bronze Mask’s expression changed rapidly, becoming firm and reliable, nodding heavily!
Yes!
White Claw is indeed that awesome!
With one sword, they can fling such a massive blocking stone!
White Claw is the Fox Mountain’s first Sword Saint!
As for you old thing... the mask cast a sidelong glance at Chixue Qianshan, showing a look of disdain as if to a small fry... you might not be able to pry open this massive stone!
Chixue Qianshan’s eyes, face flushed, nostrils flaring with a hiss!
Chixue Qianshan was never weaker than anyone in life, and certainly not weaker than a fox!
"Hmph, I’ll make you see!"
With a "whoosh", it soared skyward, the sword "thwack" pierced into that massive door stone! Sword Qi flowed out like a halo, permeating into the gigantic stone, moving within it!
Swish! Swish! Swish...
With a string of sounds, white marks appeared on the giant stone’s surface, continuously spewing out dust!
The Bronze Mask floated over to Quanquan Hu’s chubby face.
Quanquan Hu cast a sidelong glance at the mask, showing a mischievous smile!
The Fox Mountain Sword Control Technique was successful once more!
The mask glanced obliquely at Quanquan Hu, showing a cunning grin!
Three bowls of nourishing spiritual liquid were secondary; more importantly, the Bronze Mask had been taken advantage of, tricked, and stomped into the mud so many times at Fox Mountain, so why should this Lazy Sword get to loaf around and enjoy leisure every day?
It finally worked its way up from rags to riches, it couldn’t spoil this Lazy Sword!
