Chapter 409 The Great Ones Trial (1/2)

After returning to the Dragon Temple, Yuan flew into the air and looked at the formation around the city to see its progress, but as he'd expected, the formation remained unfinished.

”Since it's going to take a while for the formation to finish, I should use this time to look around the place and see if I can find the treasure room,” Yuan mumbled to himself, and he proceeded to fly around the massive city that would've taken him months to explore if he had to do it on foot.

However, that was easier said than done. How was he supposed to find the treasure room in this massive and empty city? Where should he start?

After flying around the city for an hour, Yuan gave up and decided to start searching from the ground.

”Is there really nobody in this place besides myself?” Yuan mumbled to himself as he knocked on the closed doors.

”Hm? It's open?”

Realizing that the doors were not locked, Yuan decided to go inside.

”This is…”

Yuan was surprised to see furniture inside the buildings. In fact, every single building was fully organized with furniture, almost like people used to live in this place.

”Maybe people used to live in this place in the past…”

Sometime later, Yuan eventually stopped entering the buildings as there was nothing new after looking through over a hundred of them.

”What about the trials? Where can I do the trials?”

After pondering for some time, Yuan flew back into the air once again and activated his Dragon's Gaze, and instead of using it on the dragon statue, he scanned the city with it.

And to his surprise, he could see some of the buildings glowing a faint golden color, almost like they were surrounded by fireflies, and some buildings were glowing brighter than the others.

And just like how bright lights affected moths, Yuan went for the brightest building he saw.

A few minutes later, he knocked on the door just in case it was occupied.

When nobody answered, Yuan opened the door and entered the building.

The interior of the building looked almost the same as the other buildings, but there was an addition there— a small dragon statue placed directly in the center of the room.

Yuan ignored the other things in the room and approached the dragon statue.

The moment he got close enough to the statue, it suddenly began glowing, and the doors behind him closed.

Although he was startled, Yuan didn't panic or run away.

A few seconds later, the dark room began brightening despite the lack of light sources in the room.

Furthermore, the room also expanded, almost like the world itself was being stretched.

”Is this an illusion…?” Yuan wondered to himself.

The expansion of the room wouldn't stop until all of the furniture disappeared into the horizon.

Suddenly, a notification appeared before Yuan.
