Chapter 495 The Green Jade Statue of the Patriarch (2/2)

He extended his hand as the white jade token fell back into it.

He looked towards the front again. There were no more obstructions outside the main hall. Hence, he quickly walked forward and pushed open the heavy doors that had been tightly shut for who knew how many years.

Creak

The doors slowly wobbled open as an ancient aura assaulted his senses.

The interior was very spacious and surprisingly still lit by burning altar lamps. The stone floor seemed to gleam like a mirror, not a single speck of dust to be seen.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze paused at the center of the hall, where a green jade statue stood. It depicted a handsome and mysterious young man whose looks were not unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan. It was the one and only patriarch Cang Xuan he had met in the Saint Remains Domain.

The jade statue of the patriarch was very lifelike, its eyes appearing deep and kindly as a mysterious aura spread from them. The statue also possessed an indescribable dignified presence.

As the once number one expert in Cangxuan Heaven, even a mere jade statue of him clearly possessed a certain aura.

“Patriarch, we meet again…”

Mumbled Zhou Yuan as he gazed at the statue and sighed.

If he had not met the fragment of patriarch Cangxuan’s Spirit in the Saint Remains Domain, he may not have come to the Cangxuan Sect. However, when he looked back now, he felt very grateful for the patriarch’s guidance...

He bowed to the jade status, before raising his head to ask, “I’m here patriarch. Where’s the second Saint Rune?”

There was no response from the statue, its warm and deep gaze merely continuing to stare at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan chuckled awkwardly. “So I have to find it myself?”

After speaking, he rose and began to wander about the hall. However, he failed to discover anything. In the end, he arrived back at the statue, where he found a jade seal.

The jade seal gave off a simple glow, and felt extremely heavy when Zhou Yuan picked it up. On the seal were two words, Saint Genesis.

“Could this be the peak master seal of Saint Genesis Peak?” Zhou Yuan pondered to himself. It was because this seal had been missing from Saint Genesis Peak that they had been unable to produce a peak master for so many years.

Though the peak master seal was important, Zhou Yuan did not have much interest in it, and soon put it back down.

He searched and searched, but failed to find any trace of the second Saint Rune.

This caused Zhou Yuan to grow rather anxious. Everything he had done so far was for the sake of the second Saint Rune, but now that he was here, it was nowhere to be found.

“Patriarch, you can’t have tricked me, right?”

Soon after, he sat down on the mat in front of the jade statue with a miserable face as he stared at it.

Man and statue stared at each other.

For an instant, Zhou Yuan seemed to see the jade statue’s pupils flicker for a moment.

Zhou Yuan was a little taken aback. Soon after, a certain notion struck him. He steadied his breathing as the Decoder Saint Rune slowly began rotating in the depths of his pupils with a shout in his heart.

“Decoder Saint Rune!”

The Saint Rune spun as changes began to occur to the jade statue. It gradually turned transparent as Zhou Yuan slowly inspected it. In the end, his eyes paused on the statue’s outstretched hand.

A mysterious ancient glowing rune could be seen deep within the jade, silently sitting there as it gave off a boundless aura.

Zhou Yuan’s heart began to beat like a drum the moment he saw it, as an excited look flooded his face.

The second Saint Rune was here after all!
