Chapter 1114: Chapter 529: The Second Route_2

But the adversities faced along his journey gave him a vague sense: this was no longer his era.

"Talents come from successive generations", Red Dragon Master once had the feeling of being the "chosen child" during his time. Not to mention the cultivators who understand better, the so-called "When fate beckons, heaven and earth unite"; such continual mishaps meant that this era had its own chosen ones.

Owen Bertram appreciated the predecessor’s consideration, then suddenly recalled that the giant stone gate of the Void Channel was also within a bubble - this could be bad! He rushed over immediately, took out the stone cone and poked, indeed after layers of ripples on the bubble, a set of symbols and patterns emerged.

Owen felt even more awkward, hesitating. Santa noticed: "Can you solve this puzzle?" Owen silently nodded, Santa shrugged nonchalantly: "Go ahead, old husband is not an unreasonable person." After saying this, he let out a long sigh.

The bubbles of the Nine-Dragon Refining Sky Furnace and Boastful Achievement Stele held the highest positions, followed by the Dark River and the Earth Dragon Fire Vein, and the Void Channel at the lowest. It was estimated that the difficulty of the puzzle at this level was the lowest, just a bit higher than the iron gate, barely reaching the "college" difficulty. Owen tried his hardest and still managed to solve it.

The bubble didn’t disperse but floated towards Owen’s palm.

Santa said, "If it shatters here, the Void Channel will be released directly to settle here." Owen held the bubble, already able to penetrate it with his consciousness.

Santa asked, "Is there enough Nether Extreme Dazzling Soul Treasure Light inside?" Owen counted, then heaved a sigh of relief: "There’s enough."

"Good." Santa nodded, then pointed to the other bubbles on this floor: "Try all of them, since we came, we should take everything we can!" Owen always felt that the predecessor gritted his teeth when saying this, but wasn’t sure why.

Regardless of whether Santa said it or not, Owen would have tried them all anyway; who would ever think treasure was too much?

Santa sat down to the side, fire staff in hand, face dark as he fixed his gaze on the bubble of the Nine-Dragon Refining Sky Furnace - his anger wasn’t directed towards Owen, but those old fellows from back in the day.

Despite trying everything he could think of, he still wasn’t willing to give up.

Owen spent more than half the day solving all the puzzles at the lowest level, obtaining treasures that were very precious in the eyes of artificers but may not necessarily be for other cultivators.

For example, a bubble contained a piece of Ben Stone, covered in strange holes. Owen originally thought it was some high-tier treasure material, but it turned out to be a "container"; every hole trapped an ancient beast’s soul! After the old predecessor Santa explained, Owen finally understood: back then, almost all the artificers in Baker Refinement City were obsessed with an eccentric topic, which was extracting the souls of powerful demon beasts and infusing them into freshly forged magical instruments, converting the beast soul to an instrument soul.

The Thunder God Ba Snake Monster was the result of their failed experimentation on this topic. But those artificers were senselessly hooked onto it, thinking it was really interesting! The beast souls in the Ben Stone were the experimental materials they collected, and each beast soul was very powerful during its lifetime.

Just how obsessed were these fellows with this? Even their final arrangements before the catastrophe included preserving these beast souls carefully despite leaving behind so many resources in Baker Refinement City?!

Another bubble contained a magic seal. Owen initially thought it was a valued item like a city master’s seal, but it turned out to be an "account book"! It recorded all the debts of powerful individuals borrowed and owed from Baker Refinement City before the Heavenly Track Reversal!

Owen even found information about Red Dragon Master, a total of seven! Red Dragon Master indeed had a good relationship with Baker Refinement City, borrowing a Tire-9 war blade one day, asking to first forge a set of Tire-8 shackles on loan the next day, and on the last day, a friend brought his handwritten note to borrow seven or eight high tier treasure materials...

The artificers in Baker Refinement City weren’t fools, the debts recorded inside the magic seal all had a Great Path agreement, so no one could deny them. If Baker Refinement City rises again, at least half of those powerful individuals should have returned, right? Haha, right when Baker Refinement City needs aid, shouldn’t your debts be settled?

There were three chess pieces inside another bubble, one made of wood, one of iron, and one made of stone. Owen was excited after receiving them: could these be some kind of strong rule-type magical instruments? To make this world a chessboard, and let me play the game! It was invigorating just thinking about it. However, on closer inspection, these three chess pieces each represented different materials. As long as the descendants of Baker Refinement City pick an appropriate location and throw down these three chess pieces, a city of the size of County Town would immediately be built as the core of New Baker Refinement City, which could then be expanded upon in the future.

The design and construction of these three chess pieces were sophisticated and mystical, far surpassing the level of all artificers of this era - but for Owen, they were of little use. What’s the use?

Luckily, besides these peculiar treasures, there were several large-scale magical instruments, likely to be used by the descendants to defend the city. There were some treasured high-tier materials too.
