"It's already been 3 hours. How much longer is this passage?" Tian Xue saw that there was no end to this passage, causing her to be somewhat worried.
Whoosh! Cheng Yu had no idea. But if they were to carry on like this, it would be too slow. Therefore, he took out the Jewel Cauldron.
"Let's enter the Mountain River Diagram. This is too slow!" Cheng Yu stored himself and Tian Xue into the Mountain River Diagram. After that, he drove the Jewel Cauldron forward.
Although the Jewel Cauldron wasn't a pure flying artifact, its flying speed wasn't slow. Furthermore, its defense was extremely strong. Therefore, if Cheng Yu were to encounter those demonic beasts again, he wouldn't need to deal with them one by one. He could just pass through them directly.
"Tian Xing, how are you?" Both of them entered the Mountain River Diagram. Coincidentally, they saw Tian Xing had woken up. Tian Xue enquired worriedly.
After all, he had suffered a heavy blow from a Golden Core cultivator. Without any defense, his Qi barrier wouldn't be of much use against a Golden Core cultivator.
"Senior Sister, be at ease. It's nothing serious. It's just that my internal organs are severely injured. I will need some time to recuperate." Tian Xing's complexion was still somewhat pale as he consoled Tian Xue.
Tian Xing was an orphan. When he was young, he was brought to Tianshan Sect. He had always been brought up by Tian Xue's mother and grew up together with Tian Xue. Tian Xue was older than Tian Xing by a few years and had always treated Tian Xing as her biological younger brother.
"Senior Brother, we're not really trapped in here, are we?" Tian Xing looked at the scene outside. They were advancing forward, but the passage seemed to be endless. It was always so long.
"Not sure. Just like what your Senior Sister said, perhaps these passageways aren't a dead end. If this passageway isn't leading to Kuku, it shouldn't be too long," Cheng Yu could only comfort himself and everyone.
What he wanted to know the most was why would the Art of Derivation From All Living Things appear in the Maze Palace. What secrets were hidden within? This was something that Cheng Yu couldn't understand.
"But what if it's not like that?"
"Then we can only continue flying." Cheng Yu replied helplessly.
"Hmph! It's all your fault. If you had listened to me, we wouldn't have encountered such a situation. Now that we haven't found the treasure, we are trapped!" Tian Xue sat on the grass, kicking Cheng Yu's leg in annoyance.
All along, Tian Xue had been worried about her mother's injuries. She hoped to find the god water as soon as possible. Cheng Yu's appearance had allowed her to see hope. However, this guy was always looking for treasures. She had no choice but to be anxious in her heart.
Now that he was trapped again, his heart was even more anxious. The little hope that had risen with great difficulty was gone again.
"Tsk, you're blaming me? If you didn't suddenly pretend to be an intelligent woman to deceive me, why would I suddenly rush in? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. This kind of savage woman is more suitable for you. Don't pretend to be rational in front of me in the future. The facts tell us that you are a savage woman. " Cheng Yu held a blade of grass in his mouth as he closed his eyes and lied down on the grass. Both of his hands were behind his head as he leaned on his legs.
"What barbaric woman? Who is a barbaric woman? Explain it to me clearly! "When Tian Xue heard Cheng Yu's evaluation of her, she was immediately dissatisfied as she kicked his leg a few times.
"I'm not blind. Tian Xing, what do you think?" Cheng Yu shut his eyes and said motionlessly, allowing Tian Xue to kick him randomly.
"Tian Xing!" Tian Xue glared at Tian Xing.
"Eh … this … I feel … actually … this Senior Brother … haha … what you said is too correct!" Tian Xing shrunk his neck and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Tian Xing, you are really asking for a beating!" Tian Xue shouted as she charged towards Tian Xing.
"I'm injured!" Just as Tian Xue's palm was about to land, Tian Xing shouted out in fear with his eyes closed.
"Humph! I'll let you go today. I'll teach you a lesson after you've recovered. " Tian Xue retracted her hand as she glared at Tian Xing hatefully. Tian Xing had suffered such heavy injuries. She didn't dare to beat him up so badly.
"Senior Sister, if you put it that way, my injuries will definitely not heal," Tian Xing said with a bitter face.
"Who asked you to speak nonsense with him?" Tian Xue glanced at the motionless Cheng Yu.
"Then, why don't you go beat up senior brother? You definitely can't bear to do it," Tian Xing said with a grin.
"Who says I won't beat him up? I will teach him a lesson now," Tian Xue walked to Cheng Yu's side and gave him a few kicks.
"You are the one who asked for it!" Just when Tian Xue was about to kick Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes as he grabbed onto Tian Xue's ankle. After that, he kicked Tian Xue's other leg.
"Ah!" Tian Xue's legs were in the air as she fell onto Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu somersaulted. "Pa!" Tian Xue tumbled onto the grassland.
"Cheng Yu, you are dead!" Tian Xue tumbled onto the ground as she felt her chest was in pain. Immediately, she was enraged.
"It's obviously you who sneak attacked me. As the saying goes, you deserve it. You can't blame me for this," Cheng Yu sat up, looking at Tian Xue's chest as he laughed. Cheng Yu felt that for this woman to tumble onto the ground like this, it must be a pain to her chest. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right time. Otherwise, he would definitely give her a good massage.
"I'm going to fight it out with you!" Tian Xue crawled up and pounced at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu hugged onto the pouncing Tian Xue as the both of them tumbled onto the ground.
Tian Xing widened his eyes as he quickly shifted his gaze, "My sins, my sins. I didn't see anything."
"Senior Brother! Look! Exit! "Tian Xing turned around and saw the passageway outside as he shouted out excitedly.
At this moment, Tian Xue realized that she was lying on top of Cheng Yu. Their faces were so close to each other, almost touching each other. She was startled as she quickly crawled up while blushing.
Cheng Yu didn't feel anything as he had seen such a scene before. Looking at the farthest end of the passageway, he saw a bright spot. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the exit.
The Jewel Cauldron increased its speed once again. Looking at the bright spot that was getting bigger, the trio relaxed. Walking on a path without any results was truly stifling.
"Whoosh!" Very quickly, a true exit appeared in front of them. The Jewel Cauldron flew out at lightning speed.
The trio jumped out of the Jewel Cauldron impatiently. However, when they saw how familiar everything was, they were dumbfounded.
This was an inner palace hall. In the middle of the inner palace hall, there was a very tall altar. Surrounding the inner palace hall were ten doors, and one of them was closed.
"This … isn't this the inner palace hall that we were in just now?" Tian Xing was incomparably astonished. The decorations, the layout, the size, it was exactly the same as the inner palace hall.
"Could it be that it's similar? Such a big palace, it's not impossible for there to be a few similar inner palaces," Tian Xue also felt that it was the same inner palace hall. However, this matter was too bizarre, causing her to be in disbelief.
"It should be the original inner palace hall," Cheng Yu observed his surroundings. Cheng Yu observed his surroundings, especially when he saw that the stone door was closed. It was the direction from which he came in from.
"But we had obviously passed through the middle door. Now, it's open again. Furthermore, why would we come out from this door?" Tian Xing pointed to the door behind them.
"Isn't this just right? One in, one out. A total of nine doors. This means that one of them is the true passageway, "Tian Xue commented.
"…" Cheng Yu didn't speak as he looked at Tian Xue.
"What … what's wrong? Am I wrong? It's very possible! "Tian Xue saw Cheng Yu's gaze was filled with disbelief, so she spoke unhappily. However, when she recalled the ambiguous scene with Cheng Yu just now, when she was stared at by Cheng Yu, her face turned red again.
"Senior Brother, what Senior Sister said is reasonable. This one in, one out, one in. Just nice, there's another stone door," Tian Xing also felt that Tian Xue's words were reasonable, so he agreed.
Cheng Yu sank into contemplation. He didn't speak as he continued to study the stone doors.
"Oi. What I said is definitely correct. At least, what I said previously was also correct. These passageways aren't dead." When she saw Cheng Yu was not speaking and was only looking at them, Tian Xue followed behind Cheng Yu and spoke.
"Then which path do you think we should take now?" Cheng Yu wasn't able to see anything special about these doors. Perhaps, what Tian Xue said wasn't without reason. Hence, he asked Tian Xue.
"In any case, it doesn't mean that it's correct. I feel that whichever path we take is the same. In any case, even if we take the wrong path, we will still return here. At most, we will only waste a few hours. We have already taken one. There are still seven more doors. At most, we will take another three wrong paths. The fourth time should be the correct path." Tian Xue looked at the blue passageways. Only a ghost would know which one was correct. Hence, she spoke irresponsibly.
"Alright! I will trust you once more. " Cheng Yu felt that this method might be stupid, but it was still the best method. At least, he was unable to see through the profoundness of this.
Cheng Yu looked at the other seven stone doors. He chose the one on the left and walked in.
Just like before, when the three of them entered the passageway, the back entrance closed.
"Everyone, enter the Mountain River Diagram!" Cheng Yu took out the Jewel Cauldron once again. The three of them hid in the Mountain River Diagram.
With the previous experience, Cheng Yu didn't care about anything else. He raised his speed to his maximum, traversing through the passageway.
"Our luck shouldn't be so bad. Do we really need to walk through all eight passageways before we can find the true passageway?" Sitting on the grassland, Tian Xing spoke.
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Can't you say something good? Perhaps, this passageway might be the correct one? "Tian Xue spoke ill-manneredly.
"Perhaps, they might all be fake?" Cheng Yu looked at the situation outside and spoke nonchalantly.
Cheng Yu felt that this place wouldn't be so simple. These nine passageways might very well be fake. However, he couldn't think of any other methods. Therefore, he could only search for them one by one.
"You are the one who is spouting nonsense. If it's not true, then there's nothing inside. Since there's nothing inside, why would the master of this palace go to such lengths to create such a strange passageway?" Tian Xue insisted on her point of view.
Who would be so bored as to create nine passageways with one entrance and one exit in the Inner Palace? Wouldn't that be meaningless? In any case, one would still return to the Inner Palace after passing through it.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! " An hour later, suddenly, a few demonic beasts appeared outside. However, they weren't leopards like before. Instead, they were gibbon. When they saw the Jewel Cauldron had appeared, they blocked in front of it.
