Darryl complained as he walked through the bunch of trees in front of him and his eyes suddenly became wide open!
Darryl had found the stone ruin!
He instantly smiled upon seeing the scenery before his eyes and hastened his steps. Zion was right. There really was a stone ruin in the valley!
These must have been an ancient palace that collapsed and only these stone pillars ruins remained.
Darryl felt as though he had stepped into the past upon arriving at the location.
“These carving techniques and art on the pillars resemble the ancient Tang Dynasty…”
Darryl took a look around and mumbled to himself. He then walked toward the northeast location Zion mentioned where the scripture was hidden.
‘One, two, three. This is the third pillar. The scripture should be right here.’
Darryl knelt down and pulled out a package wrapped in oilpaper from a crack beneath the pillar. He was instantly ecstatic upon opening up the package!
It was a yellow-covered book with the words Supreme Mystery Scripture written on it.
The scripture gave Darryl a quaint feeling and a single look was enough to determine its authenticity. Darryl finally had it at hand.
Darryl suddenly recalled the Eternal Life Palace Sect had given a fake scripture to the Cult Master during his birthday upon seeing its yellow cover. The fake volume also had a yellow cover.
Darryl’s hands trembled as he proceeded to open the scripture without a second thought.
The Supreme Mystery Scripture contained a huge secret. Anyone who managed to discover it would be able to unify and control the martial arts world. This was a treasure greatly desired by numerous cultivators!
No one could resist reading the scripture and Darryl was no different!
However, Darryl felt disappointed as there was nothing interesting in the scripture at all. It was filled with famous Taoist quotes and not a single martial art technique.
‘Damn it, where’s the secret? Could it be that I have to collect all seven volumes to see it?’
Boom!
At that moment, a thunderbolt appeared followed by the downpour of rain.
‘It’s finally raining. The heat is killing me!’ Darryl complained in his mind as he quickly wrapped up the scripture and looked for shelter.
It was at that moment Darryl was suddenly stunned!
He noticed to his surprise that some writings had appeared on the first stone pillar after it was drenched by the rain!
‘Damn, there’s actually words on this stone pillar?’
Darryl was curious and he walked to the stone pillar for a proper look.
‘Three, I, two, sky, mountain, scripture, king… What ’s the meaning of this? These words make no sense! Perhaps it needs to be rearranged?’
Darryl was deep in thought as he stared at the stone pillars forgetting to blink.
