"The entrance to this stone chamber is really difficult to open."

Gong Shaoqing's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. Although he didn't use his full strength in the previous attack, he put in about fifty percent of his power. Yet, the stone chamber door remained unaffected. It was quite strange.

"Let's try again," Xia Zhiqing quickly suggested.

Bang!

Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu simultaneously made a move, this time exerting their full strength.

However, even under the combined attack of Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu, the stone chamber door remained unmoved.

"It seems there must be a mechanism here. Unless we find it, brute force won't open this stone chamber door."

The deep and magnetic voice of Mo Yunjue rang out, his handsome face showing a serious expression.

Both Gong Hong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu had formidable strength. Under normal circumstances, they would have easily opened the chamber door with their attacks. But after these two strikes, the door remained unchanged, proving something.

Considering the strength of the owner of this relic, if they didn't intend for them to open the stone chamber door through brute force, all their attempts would be futile, no matter how they tried.

Baili Hongzhuang's phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded lightly. "We have to work hard to find the mechanism."

As soon as she finished speaking, Baili Hongzhuang began examining the surroundings of the stone chamber door, hoping to find the location of the mechanism.

Xia Zhiqing and the others also began searching. Just like in their previous experience in the relic, they had learned not to overlook anything. The intentions of the relic's owner were often unpredictable, so they couldn't afford to miss any details.

Time passed by minute by minute, and they continuously touched every part of the stone chamber, but they found no protrusions, no grooves, and no hollow areas.

"What kind of mechanism is this? We've been searching for so long, and there's no sign of any mechanism," Yuan Xiaoman frowned, her voice tinged with impatience.

They had fought hard to gain an advantage by entering the relic ahead of other cultivators. Yet, now they were stuck at the very entrance, unable to get inside.

Yuan Zhixin patted Yuan Xiaoman's shoulder. "Just obtaining one treasure from inside would already be a great achievement. Let's not rush."

"Yuan Zhixin is right. We need to calm down and keep searching. There must be a mechanism somewhere," Dongfang Yu added.

During their previous experience in the ancient relic, he had been in the same state as Yuan Xiaoman. However, when Baili Hongzhuang found the mechanism right in front of everyone, he realized that it wasn't that there was no mechanism; they had simply overlooked it.

Baili Hongzhuang and Mo Yunjue stood still, not only focusing on the immediate surroundings of the stone chamber door but also displaying thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Baili Hongzhuang rubbed her chin with her right hand. Each brick in the stone chamber was identical, and everyone had searched for grooves and protrusions without any discoveries. So, the question of where the mechanism was located became intriguing.

"Where could it be?" Baili Hongzhuang's eyes were calm and wise. Even though the thoughts of the relic's owner might be peculiar, as long as they were all human, the deviation wouldn't be too great.
