Chapter 444: Searching for the Mysterious Person

Hearing this news, Chu Tian, Ding Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Chen Zihao decided to look for that temple to see if they could find this mysterious figure.

Under Master Zhao’s guidance, they embarked on the road to the temple.

Along the way, they experienced towering mountains and traversed deep forests.

Sunlight shone mottledly on the forest path, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

After several days of arduous trekking, they finally arrived at the temple hidden among the mountains.

This temple was simple and elegant, with lush greenery in the quiet courtyard, as if it were isolated from the world.

They searched for the mysterious figure in the temple, only to find that the temple was empty.

In a remote corner, they discovered an elderly monk sweeping the courtyard.

Chen Chen Zihao stepped forward and asked: "Respected Master, we heard that a mysterious figure lived here; can you tell us where he is now?"

The monk stopped his work and smiled, saying: "There was indeed a mysterious figure here, but he has already left this world.

However, before he passed away, he left behind a book that records the secrets he mastered."

Chu Tian asked curiously: "Then where is this book now?"

The monk pointed to the temple’s scripture library and said: "That book is in the scripture library; you can go inside and look for it."

They arrived at the scripture library and, after some searching, finally found the mysterious book.

This book recorded the life experiences of that mysterious figure, as well as the secrets of the ancient sacrificial ritual he mastered.

The book mentioned that this sacrificial ritual had a close relationship with the artifact in their hands.

When the artifact is used correctly, it can reveal the truth hidden behind the scenes.

The three read the book carefully in the temple and gradually understood the correct way to use the artifact.

After several days of trekking, Chu Tian, Ding Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Chen Zihao finally returned to the ancient city.

The hustle and bustle of the city formed a sharp contrast with the quiet temple, making them feel deeply emotional.

They decided to rest on the first day back in the ancient city to prepare for revealing the truth.

Night fell, the lights came on, and the streets and alleys of the ancient city were filled with a lively atmosphere. CHAPTER 960

The next morning, the three began trying to use the artifact in a quiet courtyard.

They followed the methods described in the book, gathered enough power, and injected this power into the artifact.

As their power gradually merged into the artifact, the patterns on the artifact began to emit a dazzling light.

Then, that mysterious image appeared before their eyes again.

The environment in the image became clearer, and they could see the buildings behind the mysterious figure and the scenery around him.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu pointed to a scene in the image in surprise and said: "Isn't this the clock tower in the ancient city? That mysterious figure is hiding right under our noses!"

Chen Chen Zihao also widened his eyes: "I didn't expect us to be so close to the truth."

Chu Tian patted Chen Chen Zihao on the shoulder: "Let’s hurry to that clock tower and uncover the truth of all this."

They followed the clues in the image and arrived at the clock tower in the ancient city.

The clock tower towered into the clouds, and the bell rang melodiously, appearing exceptionally quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

They went around to the back of the clock tower and discovered a hidden entrance.

Chu Tian pushed the door open cautiously, and they passed through a long corridor and arrived at a simply furnished room. CHAPTER 961

In the room, they finally saw that mysterious figure.

He was sitting on a wooden chair, looking down at a book.

Seeing the three walk in, he looked up and smiled faintly.

The mysterious figure looked at them and said: "Welcome to my world; you finally found me."

Chu Tian bravely took the first step: "What we are looking for is the truth hidden behind the scenes. And you seem to be the key to the truth!"

The mysterious figure nodded with a smile, looked around the room, and then said: "There are too many phenomena in this world that cannot be explained; the truth is often hidden behind seemingly ordinary things. The artifact in your hands is one of them."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "Then can you tell us what this artifact is? Does it have any special functions?"

The mysterious figure shook his head: "I cannot tell you everything about the artifact, because this is a process you need to explore yourselves.

But I can give you some inspiration."

Chen Chen Zihao asked nervously: "Then how should we continue to explore?"

The mysterious figure sighed: "You need to understand the essence of this world, learn to observe and experience everything around you. Only in this way can you find the real answer."

Chu Tian felt a bit confused: "What is the essence of this world?"

The mysterious figure was silent for a while and finally spoke: "This world is full of miracles and unknowns. Sometimes, we cannot explain everything with existing knowledge and experience. Only through constant exploration and attempts can we slowly approach the truth."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "Then where should we start?"

The mysterious figure pointed to the ancient city outside the window: "Start from this city, start from every corner of your lives. You will discover that this world is much more complex than you imagine."

The three listened to the mysterious figure’s inspiration, and more questions emerged in their hearts.

The road ahead could only be explored by themselves.

Chu Tian bowed to the mysterious figure: "Thank you for your guidance; we will continue to work hard to explore."

The mysterious figure nodded with a smile: "May you find your own answers."

They bid farewell to the mysterious figure, left the clock tower, and returned to the hustle and bustle of the ancient city.

Facing the prosperity of the city, their hearts were filled with new courage and determination.

They began to re-examine this world and learned to observe the details of life.

Every small discovery became the driving force for them to explore the truth.

As days passed, Chu Tian, Ding Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Chen Zihao continued their exploration.

One evening, Chu Tian, Ding Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Chen Zihao were having a drink in a small tavern in the ancient city.

The atmosphere in the tavern was relaxed and pleasant, and the people around were talking and laughing.

While tasting the food, the three also talked about the progress of their exploration.

Suddenly, Ding Ding Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up; she patted the table and said excitedly: "I thought of a very interesting idea!"

Chu Tian and Chen Chen Zihao looked at Ding Ding Xiaoyu curiously: "What idea? Tell us quickly."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu explained excitedly: "We have been looking for the function and use of the artifact, but we ignored a very important fact. This world is so complex that we must understand it from different angles. Our previous exploration method might have been too limited."
