Chapter 523: Deciphering Mysterious Symbols

Xiao Fan's group continued forward, leaving the task of cracking the giant bronze door entirely to Formation Master Cong Wen.

This time, they didn't just lounge around and enjoy themselves.

They had originally thought that reaching the end would lead to a way out.

But that wasn't the case.

While Formation Master Cong Wen cracked the giant bronze door's Restriction, the others searched everywhere, hoping to find a passage to leave…

This made Formation Master Cong Wen feel much better; at least it wasn't an eyesore like before…

They were currently in a bedroom where the stone tables and other items were entirely ordinary…

Moreover, they were being suppressed here and could not fly.

So, Xiao Fan and the others simply began to study the ancient paintings on the walls…

"The records in these ancient paintings aren't in any of the ancient texts in Wuhuang Province… and these symbols, which look like writing, haven't been seen before either… Could the secret to leaving this underground palace be hidden within these symbols?"

Xiao Fan spoke, his eyes burning as he looked at those symbols.

"That makes sense… This underground palace is very foreign to us. Or rather, it doesn't belong to Wuhuang Province at all, perhaps not even to the Nine Provinces… But what do these symbols mean? Without ancient texts to translate them, how can we recognize them?" Wu Qingyan spoke. She agreed with Xiao Fan's view and knew these symbols might be the key, but how could they understand them?

It was like suddenly being given a pile of symbols and being told to guess what kind of script they were… and what they meant!

It was simply asking the impossible, something that couldn't be done.

Qiao Rong remained silent, her face also looking troubled; she didn't recognize these characters either.

Xiao Fan didn't say a word, his gaze fixed on the ancient paintings on the massive stone wall…

These symbols were varied and appeared like dense text, recording some ancient events…

At that moment, the Enlightenment Seed inside Xiao Fan's body suddenly stirred…

"Hmm?" Xiao Fan was startled as the green light emitted by the Enlightenment Seed surged through his entire body, causing his mind to instantly become clear.

He felt that the symbols on the stone wall were no longer so difficult to understand!

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Fan murmured to himself, his expression full of joy. He hadn't expected the Enlightenment Seed to have this effect.

It allowed him to understand these mysterious symbols.

Beside him, Qiao Rong and Wu Qingyan were puzzled and looked at Xiao Fan.

But the latter didn't say a word, his eyes still fixed on the symbols on the stone wall.

These symbols were like drawings, sketching out various strange patterns…

Xiao Fan just watched, his mind racing as he comprehended the content of the symbols…

"This symbol means… 'Heaven'." After a moment, Xiao Fan muttered to himself, recognizing one of the mysterious symbols.

"How do you know?" Wu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, as did Qiao Rong; both of them looked at Xiao Fan.

However, Xiao Fan didn't speak; he had now entered a state of ethereal clarity…

It was as if his entire being had surged into the ancient paintings on the wall. He didn't just recognize these characters; he was experiencing them, gaining enlightenment of their meanings from within.

"This character… means 'Earth'…"

Xiao Fan continued to mutter to himself, having understood another mysterious symbol.

Seeing Xiao Fan in this state, neither Qiao Rong nor Wu Qingyan disturbed him, allowing him to continue his enlightenment.

After all, they didn't know how to leave this underground palace either…

Perhaps Xiao Fan was that very opportunity!

The two thugs from the Treasure Pavilion also looked around, but they had no clues whatsoever.

"This character…"

"…"

Xiao Fan continued his enlightenment. This state was very strange, with the Enlightenment Seed constantly emitting radiance…

Xiao Fan seemed to see the giant who had personally carved these ancient paintings, stroke by stroke…

"This character is… 'Man'…"

Three hours later, Xiao Fan had recognized about several hundred mysterious symbols, and he was still continuing…

No one disturbed him, letting him continue his enlightenment.

Because they all knew that it was currently very difficult to leave this underground palace. They had no clues at all, and the only person they could rely on was Xiao Fan.

One day…

Two days…

Xiao Fan recognized more and more mysterious symbols…

Formation Master Cong Wen had already opened the massive bronze door…

However, Xiao Fan had not yet awakened from his enlightenment… His gaze was still fixed on the stone wall, looking through one ancient painting after another…

Qiao Rong and Wu Qingyan did not disturb him.

What if the giant bronze door's Restriction was cracked? What if they left this palace hall?

Wouldn't they still be ignorant of how to leave this underground palace?

Consequently, the group could only wait idly by the side.

They wanted to see if Xiao Fan could finally get a clue on how to leave this place from his enlightenment of these symbols.

However, this caused Formation Master Cong Wen's face to turn ashen…

He had spent three days cracking it.

After three days of hard work to crack it, they weren't going to leave?

Finally, seeing the giant bronze door he had worked so hard to crack open closing again, his heart was bleeding.

He really wanted to ask if these people were playing with him on purpose!

Why didn't they say so earlier?!

If they weren't leaving for now, why didn't they say so earlier!

"This character… is 'God'…"

Xiao Fan continued his enlightenment. At this moment, he could not hear any sounds from the outside world, or rather, his instincts had chosen to ignore them.

He looked at the ancient paintings, as if seeing that giant from the bronze coffin, carving…
