The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2139 Key Opens the Door

In this mysterious and quiet space, Matthew's eyes were fixed on the golden door in front of him that exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

In an instant, his heart beat violently, as if a subtle voice sounded quietly in his heart.

A strong and indescribable intuition surged into his heart like a tide and quickly spread throughout his body.

His eyes grew sharper, examining the grooves more closely.

Their shapes are winding, with smooth lines and a sense of ancient charm. Their size proportions are just right, and every depression and bulge seems to contain some specific rules.

And the mysterious aura lingering around the groove made Matthew feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After a moment, Matthew came back to his senses. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a storage bag appeared in his palm.

Matthew's fingers gently brushed across the storage bag, the opening of the bag opened slightly, a soft light flashed, and he took out an antique box from it.

The box looked ordinary, but it felt particularly heavy in Matthew's hands.

Carefully opening the box, I saw eleven keys neatly arranged inside.

These keys are all similar in style, and each one is engraved with fine patterns.

There was a hint of reminiscence in Matthew's eyes. These keys were obtained by chance during his long cultivation career.

By chance, he got a vague message that these keys would play a vital role in reaching Tianling Island.

This news ignited a glimmer of hope and curiosity in Matthew's heart. After Matthew arrived at Dengtianling Island, he couldn't wait to ask the patriarch and the four elders about this matter.

However, to his disappointment, both the clan leader and the four elders shook their heads after carefully examining the keys, saying that they had never seen such peculiar keys and did not know their origins and uses.

This instantly dimmed the glimmer of hope in Matthew's heart. He tried to find more clues about these keys, but in the end he found nothing. Over time, he temporarily put the matter behind him and no longer thought too much about the secrets of these keys.

Matthew's deep gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and once again fell firmly on the groove on the towering and mysterious golden door in front of him.

After taking a deep breath, he involuntarily cast his gaze towards the keys of unknown use held tightly in his hands, comparing them secretly in his mind.

The outlines of these keys seem to have a subtle and fitting echo with the grooves, and the fine lines engraved on the keys seem to be really inextricably linked.

This sudden similarity made Matthew's heart beat faster involuntarily, and an inexplicable sense of excitement surged into his heart like a flood that broke through a dam, temporarily drowning his reason.

"Could it be that these keys really have some unspeakable connection with this golden door?" Matthew thought to himself.

Once this idea formed in his mind, it took root and quickly occupied his entire thinking.

Matthew took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

He slowly stretched out his hand, which was trembling slightly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

His fingers gently brushed over the keys, finally stopping on one of the golden keys. This key was particularly eye-catching among the many keys. Its color was brighter, as if it had been waiting for this moment to come.

Matthew held the key tightly, as if holding the throat of fate, and then walked step by step towards the groove on the golden door.

Matthew took another deep breath, calmed himself, then carefully aligned the golden key with the groove and gently inserted it.

At first, the key entered the groove smoothly, however, it stopped abruptly after only halfway in, as if its progress was blocked by an invisible force.

Matthew frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not give up easily.

He suddenly decided to try turning the key. After all, all this was just a clueless attempt.

Matthew's fingers tightly grasped one end of the key and he first turned the key hard to the right.

However, the key seemed to be stuck firmly, not moving at all. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move it at all.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Matthew's forehead and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

Immediately, he changed direction and quickly turned the key to the left.

This time, a miracle happened. The key seemed to have found its home and turned smoothly.

As the key turned, a slight "click" sound was heard in the air, as if it was the sound of an ancient mechanism being awakened.

Matthew's eyes were fixed on the key, not daring to slack off in the slightest. His heartbeat quickened again, and a feeling of nervousness and anticipation filled his heart.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp and loud "click" sound, the sound seemed particularly harsh and pleasant in this silent space.

Then, after the crisp "click" sound disappeared, it seemed as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at everything in the quiet air.

Then, without Matthew having to do anything unnecessary, the golden door that had been closed for a long time, as if it had sealed away secrets for countless years, slowly opened from the outside as if it was being pushed slowly by an invisible hand from ancient times.

In an instant, an old and mysterious breath, like a ghost awakened after sleeping for thousands of years, came towards me, carrying with it the dust of time.

Matthew's body reacted instinctively and he subconsciously held his breath. His eyes instantly widened to the size of copper bells, staring at the unknown darkness inside the door that seemed to swallow everything.

The darkness was like a deep black hole in the universe, mysterious and unpredictable. Matthew's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind. He didn't know what kind of amazing treasure, mysterious inheritance, or deadly trap and unknown powerful monster would be waiting for him behind the door.

At this time, Matthew's actions also disturbed Naro, who was still arching the stone pillar not far away.

Na Luo was full of curiosity at the moment. He was about to give up the stone pillar that had been loosened by it and ran towards Matthew happily, wanting to find out what was going on.

However, the moment it took a step forward, the stone pillar in front of it seemed to be injected with violent vitality, and suddenly began to vibrate violently without any warning.

This sudden abnormality, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, aroused Matthew's vigilance.

He quickly turned his head and saw that the stone pillar that had been standing quietly suddenly rose straight up from the ground like a ignited rocket or a cannonball, and shot rapidly into the sky.

This scene was so shocking that Na Luo's eyes widened as if he was under a spell. He stared blankly at the stone pillar that disappeared into the sky. His little head was blank and he was completely stunned by this incredible sight.
