Chapter 24 - Strange Scroll

n
nThere was no reaction when Sam probed the scroll , It was just like a golden scroll used by emperors in ancient times.
nHe saw a picture hidden behind the black substance that was covering it.
nIt was an insignia , he didn't know who or what the insignia belonged to but appeared really cool in his eyes.
nThe insignia was of a dragon coiling up a sword.
nThe dragon was aloof and dignified while the sword was sharp beyond compare and majestic.
nAll this information came to him from the aura that the insignia was giving off.
nSlowly he picked the scroll up , but as he was going to open it.
nHe felt a chill pass through his spine as if the god of death was already holding his throat.
nHe stood still without moving like a statue.
nHe felt like if he moved even a single inch he would die.
nAll of a sudden he heard a roar which gave the aura of a dignified and aloof existence, It freed him from that state as if constricting the killing intent.
n
" It was a killing intent, if I had opened the scroll I would have died.
nThe killing intent didn't come from the scroll but from the black substance that was attached to the scroll and it was subdued by the roar that came from the scroll.
nProbably a dragon's roar as depicted in the insignia ....
"
nHe didn't want to explore this dangerous scroll any more, so he created a cylindrical shaped stone cover around it and put it inside the stone vat .
nThe vat was filled with shining brown crystals, these were the earth crystals that he mined out.
nAt the same time the gourd contained the rest of the liquid essence.
nA snake like substance was moving around in the stone vat, this was none other than the shackles of Maya.
nFor some reason this living chain was very attracted to the earth crystals, so it made the stone vat filled with earth crystals its home.
nThe Shackles of Maya was also greatly attracted to the golden sphere and the liquid essence.
nBut Sam could not spare either of them as they were much precious and of strategic importance in his endeavors.
nNow Sam's focus was on the green jade, he experimented with it in different manners for some time.
nThe result he found was that if energy was channeled into it then the green aura would come out and spread.
nMore the energy channeled in more the aura that came out.
nHe started channeling the energy from the Earth sphere into the green jade.
nThe result was a more steady and vigorous aura came out from the green jade this time.
nIt started filling the whole cave, black stone cave turned back to its original brown color and the poison left behind by the snake was completely removed .
nThe cave was filled with green energy which was filled with vitality and life. He had experienced this same feeling when he first picked it up.
nHe could control the energy flow emitted by the golden sphere and he maintained it to a stable state.
nHe did it in such a manner that the aura given out by the green jade would not be much vigorous but maintained a natural environment inside the cave.
nHe achieved this by drawing a special symbol on the earth with a circle around it and putting both the sphere and jade inside it.
nThis symbol was also something he gained when he was in the enlightened state .
nHe saw a lot of symbols appearing and disappearing in front of his eyes as he was in the state of one with the earth, these were the same symbols that appeared and disappeared on the brown fruit.
nHe had already used the symbols when freeing the evil sword and gained a much better understanding.
nHe could only gain a primitive understanding of some of these symbols ... and one of them was the symbol of stabilization.
nIt could stabilize the earth's energy in the area of about 50 cm.
nAlso he had to draw the symbol again after about a day , as the first one would disappear after about 24 hours. The drawing also drained him of all his energy and he had to rest for at least 2 hours before fully recovering.
nAs the energy emitted by the golden aura was stabilized, the green aura was also stabilized.
nProducing a natural environment…
nAfter looking around and experimenting for one day, he knew the surroundings were safe.
nSo he finally got out of the golem suit and took a deep breath in the new environment.
nThen he sat down and took out his precious rewards.
nWhen the space ring appeared in his hands, there were dollar signs in both his eyes and the hand holding the ring was slowly trembling with excitement.
nHe brought it towards the nose and sniffed deeply .....
n
" The smell of richness ... he he he... so wonderful…
"
nHe was exclaiming tactically forgetting the fact that he had taken it from a dead body.
nAfter calming himself down, he started using his spiritual sense to probe again.
nBut the black wall still remained like an unshakeable fortress.
nAfter trying to push the wall with all his spiritual might he still failed.
nAfter some more effort he started cursing
n
" fuc..king black wall.. I am so close yet ... hum...
"
nIn truth he didn't even know if the ring contained anything at all , but after passing through all the ordeal he had in the past few days.
nThis was something that brought him excitement, so he went a little overboard with it.
