Cheng Yu kept the four keys. After that, he prepared to search for the treasury. As for Tian Xue and the rest, it would be more convenient for them to hide in the Mountain River Diagram.
Passing through the right corridor, Cheng Yu arrived in front of a stone door. Looking at the groove above, he took out the blue key and inserted it into the groove.
"Ka! Ka! Ka!" The stone door slowly opened up. A sizable side hall appeared in front of Cheng Yu.
Having experienced being trapped a few times before, Cheng Yu didn't dare to enter immediately. Instead, he craned his neck to look around. The side hall was very spacious. At least, Cheng Yu couldn't sense any signs of life.
In the middle, there was a big platform. It was like a sacrificial altar. There was a long stone staircase leading up to the platform. Cheng Yu walked into the side hall slowly. His eyes observed his surroundings and ears listened to his surroundings cautiously.
Cheng Yu surveyed his surroundings. He realized that other than the door he came from, there were nine other stone doors. However, all of them were tightly shut. He couldn't see any grooves or other mechanisms to open the doors.
Ultimately, Cheng Yu's gaze landed on the altar in front of him. Since there weren't any mechanisms in other places, then the method to open up these stone doors would definitely be on this altar. Cheng Yu had encountered quite a number of such incidents in the previous three palaces.
Cheng Yu walked up the stone staircase, standing on the sacrificial altar. In front of him was a very big stone platform. On top of it, there wasn't anything. However, there were a lot of patterns carved on it. The patterns were very big and complicated. The whole stone platform was about two meters in length and width, and the patterns occupied three quarters of it.
Outside the patterns, there were four points. With these four points as the center, the patterns were exactly the same, forming four regions: north, south, east, and west. Every region was connected to a groove in the middle. With a glance, Cheng Yu could tell it was the blue heart groove.
Cheng Yu inserted the blue heart into the groove. All the patterns on the stone platform suddenly lit up, emitting blue radiance.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the stone door Cheng Yu came in from closed. Meanwhile, the other nine stone doors started to open up slowly.
When the nine stone doors were fully opened, a faint blue radiance was emitted. Cheng Yu knew that this was the blue spiritual lamp's radiance, similar to the blue lamps on the walls of the side hall.
Cheng Yu took out the blue heart and leaped down from the stone platform. Arriving at one of the stone doors, Cheng Yu looked inside and discovered that it wasn't a secret room but a passage. Cheng Yu did not enter but looked at the other eight stone doors.
The nine stone doors didn't have any difference. All of them were passageways. Furthermore, they seemed to be very deep and winding. At least, Cheng Yu couldn't see through them.
At the end.
Looking at the nine passageways that were emitting a faint blue radiance, Cheng Yu hesitated. In his opinion, only one of the nine passageways would lead to the true treasury.
As for the other eight paths, they were definitely fake. If they were fake, Cheng Yu would not mind. What Cheng Yu was worried about was that the other eight paths might be dead ends. If that was the case, Cheng Yu had no choice but to be cautious.
Cheng Yu paced back and forth in front of the nine passageways. For a long time, he had yet to make a decision. Suddenly, he felt that the Mountain River Diagram was Tian Xue's intention to let them out. Cheng Yu didn't think much before letting them out.
"Senior Brother, why don't you go in?" Cheng Yu did not restrict their understanding of the situation outside, so they had already seen everything Cheng Yu saw in the Mountain and River Diagram.
However, when he saw Cheng Yu pacing back and forth between the nine passages, he was somewhat puzzled. With the harvest from the Ten Thousand Flower Palace, Tian Xing's courage had grown by a lot. However, he had never thought of the possibility of danger. Haha! When he thought of the countless treasures waiting for them, he became somewhat anxious.
"If I didn't guess wrongly, only one of the nine passageways is correct. As for the other eight, they might be very dangerous. Therefore, I have no idea which one is correct," Cheng Yu looked at the nine mysterious passageways.
"Senior Brother, you are getting more and more cowardly. With your strength, you can completely sweep through this Death Forest. Why are you still worried about this? Besides, if we really found the wrong passageway, we can just retreat. Why must we be so conflicted? "Tian Xing spoke disapprovingly.
In his opinion, the strongest existence in this Death Forest was merely Golden Core late stage. Although this Death Forest was somewhat strange, the strength of the living things were much higher than what they showed. But wasn't Cheng Yu the same?
Although he was only in the Golden Core initial stage, his strength was definitely not lower than Golden Core late stage. With such strength, even if he were to encounter a Golden Core late stage demonic beast, Tian Xing believed that Cheng Yu would be able to defeat it. This was the confidence he had in Cheng Yu.
After knowing Cheng Yu for so long, Tian Xing could only see how strong Cheng Yu was. Regardless of how strong the enemy was, Cheng Yu's strength would always be stronger than them. Even when he fought against a dozen Golden Core cultivators alone, Cheng Yu was still not considered to be defeated. It could be seen that in Tian Xing's heart, Cheng Yu had already become an invincible existence.
"What if these eight passageways are all dead ends?" Cheng Yu replied ill-manneredly.
"Er … this …" Tian Xing immediately became speechless. He had never thought of this before. When he recalled the situation when they were trapped in the Ten Thousand Flower Palace, Tian Xing no longer dared to instigate Cheng Yu to barge around recklessly.
This wasn't something that Cheng Yu could handle alone. Now, the three of them could be said to be tied together. If Cheng Yu were to die, the three of them would also be doomed.
"I feel that what Tian Xing said might not be wrong. The chances of the other eight passageways being dead ends is very small," At this moment, Tian Xue who had been observing the nine passageways spoke.
"Oh? What do you mean? "Cheng Yu enquired curiously.
"Although I have no idea what's going on with this palace, I feel that the mechanisms it set up isn't to kill anyone. On the contrary, it's more likely to be a test for the person trying to barge into the palace," Tian Xue replied.
"Why do you say so?" Cheng Yu was puzzled.
"These palaces are hidden underground. Furthermore, there isn't a single living person here. I believe something big must have happened, causing them to be forced to hide. In order to allow their inheritance to continue, they would definitely look for a successor. Previously, when you made us drip our blood in the flower ocean, wasn't it to test the secret of opening the palace?
Since we are unable to open it, but you are able to open it. This means that you are the successor they had chosen. If they didn't wish for others to obtain their inheritance, why would they allow others to enter? Wouldn't it be the best way to open the palace forever? " Ever since Tian Xue had entered the Ten Thousand Flower Palace, she had been extremely curious. She had once pondered over the details of Cheng Yu opening the palace.
"Tian Xue? Is this really you? It seems like I have underestimated you! "Hearing Tian Xue's long speech,
Hearing Tian Xue's explanation, Cheng Yu simply couldn't believe that Tian Xue was actually so meticulous. Such a strong logic, he seemed to have underestimated her.
"Hmph! It's good that you are aware of it. At least you have some self-awareness! " When Tian Xue saw Cheng Yu's astonished expression, she felt extremely complacent. After knowing Cheng Yu for such a long time, she had always been astonished by everything Cheng Yu did. Today, she had finally managed to astonish this arrogant fellow.
"Heh heh! Senior brother, isn't this my real senior sister now? "Tian Xing said with a chuckle.
Actually, before Cheng Yu had appeared, Tian Xue had always been the leader of their group. Because Tian Xue was an extremely calm and meticulous person.
But ever since she met Cheng Yu and was saved by him, Tian Xue seemed to have changed into another person. Everything had become bigger and Cheng Yu was the center of everything, causing Tian Xing to be baffled! He only treated her as a woman who had fallen in love.
Actually, Tian Xing's way of thinking wasn't completely unreasonable. Since young, Tian Xue had always been very strong and independent. But no matter how strong she was, she was still a woman.
Every woman would fantasize that the man in their heart was a heroic and outstanding hero. And he would be the woman's support. Previously, when Tian Xue was in danger, Cheng Yu had appeared in front of her like a hero.
Besides, Cheng Yu's strength had truly shocked her. It was also because of Cheng Yu's strength that Tian Xue had unknowingly let go of her determination and treated Cheng Yu as her support. Therefore, everything had revolved around him. As long as he was around, she wouldn't need to be so vigilant and could leave everything to him.
"Really? That means you have concealed yourself very deeply in front of me! I was almost fooled by you, "Cheng Yu sized up Tian Xue curiously.
"How so? I have always been like this! "Tian Xue suddenly changed from her previous decisive and capable look, turning into a weak and bashful look.
"…" Cheng Yu's face was filled with black lines. This woman's change was too fast. He had even thought that what had just appeared was just an illusion. "Pretend I didn't say anything. Let's return back to the main topic! What you said just now was somewhat reasonable. Since it's like that, I will casually choose a passage. Are you going to return to the Mountain River Diagram or follow me outside? "
"I will follow you outside!" Tian Xue replied without any hesitation. Actually, she had long thought of it, but she couldn't find the opportunity.
Previously, because her cultivation was too low, she had become Cheng Yu's burden, unable to provide any help to him. She had been cultivating with all her might to advance to Golden Core Realm, hoping to be able to fight alongside Cheng Yu. Now that there was an opportunity, how could she be willing to miss it?
"I will also follow you guys! Always staying in the Mountain River Diagram isn't a solution. Without experiencing a few life and death battles, I don't know when I would be able to advance to Golden Core Realm, "Tian Xing pondered before speaking.
Although he had always been the weakest among the three, and he had also broken through to Foundation Establishment late stage, the disparity between him and Cheng Yu had only gotten bigger. He had only advanced by a small realm while they had advanced by a large realm. If he didn't work hard, it would be impossible.
"Alright! You guys be careful. If the situation isn't right, be prepared to enter the Mountain River Diagram, "Cheng Yu didn't say much. Cheng Yu didn't say much. What Tian Xing said was right. It was impossible for him to protect them all the time. They needed to go through tempering and grow.
Cheng Yu looked at it for a moment before choosing the middle passage and walked in.
