Cheng Yu placed the Indigo Heart into the groove on the altar. The diagram emitted a dazzling radiance once again. The only thing that wasn't lit up was the five regions' thirteen symbols.
Cheng Yu flew up to the blue spiritual lamp and started to revolve it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Out of the nine stone doors, eight of them were closed. Only the rightmost one was left.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Yu thought that he had returned to the previous inner palace. However, he still carried a trace of hope as he flew up to the altar. The moment he saw it, he was overjoyed.
Because at this moment, the eastern region's thirteen symbols had all lit up. This proved that they were indeed in the second inner palace.
"Let's go!" Cheng Yu shouted excitedly. With a wave of his hand, he brought them back into the Mountain River Diagram before flying into the passageway.
"Senior Brother, are you sure that it isn't the same inner palace?" Seeing how excited Cheng Yu was, Tian Xing was puzzled.
"Of course," Cheng Yu smiled.
"How did you know?" Tian Xing asked curiously. From the start to the end, he didn't see any abnormalities.
"With your intelligence, it's very hard for you to understand. Therefore, it's better if you don't ask," This fellow was full of questions. He would always have an endless amount of questions.
"Deliberately mystifying things!" Tian Xue was also very curious. However, she had just lost her temper. How would she dare to ask? Her voice was neither loud nor soft.
"…" Cheng Yu smiled faintly without speaking.
However, when Tian Xue saw how Cheng Yu was ignoring her, she got even angrier.
The passageway was safe. No demonic beasts appeared. Similarly, an hour later, the Jewel Cauldron flew out from the exit.
"Senior Brother, are you sure we are standing in different palaces?" Looking at the same palace, Tian Xing found it hard to believe that they weren't standing in the same inner palace.
"Whether it's true or not, you will know in the future." Previously, Cheng Yu still had some doubts. However, ever since he saw the thirteen symbols had lit up at a different location, he was 100% sure that they weren't in the same palace.
Using the same method, he placed the Indigo Heart into the groove. Then, he revolved the thirteen blue spiritual lamps. This time, the thirteen symbols lit up at the northern region. However, the remaining passageway was still the rightmost one.
Although Tian Xing and Tian Xue's hearts were filled with doubts, neither of them said anything.
However, this kind of repetition didn't stop there. When Cheng Yu appeared in another inner palace, he lit up the western region of the altar. Surprisingly, there were two stone doors that weren't closed. One was on the far right, while the other was in the middle.
"Senior Brother, what do we do now? Two passageways have appeared. "At this point, Tian Xing was completely confused. He felt that this thing was endless.
"The center!" Cheng Yu looked at the diagram on the altar. Currently, four inner halls had already been opened. If he didn't guess wrongly, he should be opening the fifth inner hall.
It was also the last palace hall. Therefore, Cheng Yu had chosen the passage in the middle. That was the passage leading to the middle.
"You have something to say?" The trio traversed through the middle passageway. Tian Xing had been standing beside Cheng Yu, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Cheng Yu asked nonchalantly.
"I want to know, if this goes on, will we be able to get out alive?" Tian Xing said with a face full of worry.
"Why do you say that?"
"Senior Brother, take a look. First, we searched through the passageways nine times. Then, we searched through the same passageway four times. Now, it's another two passageways. If I didn't guess wrongly, we should be searching through another three passageways. You see, we kept opening and closing the passageways and flying back and forth. In the end, we ended up in the same palace hall. Do you think we will be able to get out alive? "From the start, Tian Xing had always believed that the four inner palaces were the same.
After going around in circles and flying back and forth so many times, they were basically going around in circles.
"Haha! Do you have so little confidence in me?" Cheng Yu laughed.
In Cheng Yu's opinion, this middle palace hall was definitely the last one.
"It's not that we don't believe you, but the truth is placed before us. It's hard for us to believe it," Tian Xing shrugged.
"Relax. This time, I'm sure we will be able to see what we want to see," Cheng Yu could understand their thoughts. After all, they didn't know the secret within.
Whoosh! The Jewel Cauldron flew out of the exit once again.
"Senior Brother, is this what we want to see?" Looking at the same palace hall again, Tian Xing was completely discouraged. He even felt that they would never be able to get out of this palace hall forever.
"Since you are so sure, let's make a bet. If I were to find the treasury, your share will be mine. How about it? "Cheng Yu walked up the altar unhurriedly as he spoke to Tian Xing.
"This …" Seeing how confident Cheng Yu was, Tian Xing hesitated.
"Why? Afraid? "Cheng Yu provoked him.
"Then … then what if I win?" Being provoked by Cheng Yu, Tian Xing asked.
"If you win, it means we will never be able to get out. Then, I will accompany you to death here," Cheng Yu laughed.
"That won't do. I'm at a disadvantage," Tian Xing shook his head.
"Then what do you want?" Cheng Yu enquired.
"If we really can't get out, you have to stay here and treat my Senior Sister well," Tian Xing looked at Tian Xue before speaking to Cheng Yu.
Tian Xing had grown up together with Tian Xue. They were as close as siblings. Seeing the affection Tian Xue had for Cheng Yu, Tian Xing could tell that Tian Xue liked Cheng Yu even though he didn't know what conflict they had with each other.
However, Tian Xue had always been very strong-willed. If he, as her brother, didn't allow her to open her mouth, she would never open her mouth.
"Er …" Cheng Yu and Tian Xue didn't expect Tian Xing would raise such a condition. Especially Cheng Yu. Tian Xing had always wanted to learn the Art of Derivation From All Living Things from him. He thought that Cheng Yu would use this as a condition. Unexpectedly, it was actually related to Tian Xue.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants him to treat me well? " Tian Xue reacted. Her face immediately turned red. When she saw Cheng Yu was in a daze, she thought that he wasn't willing. Immediately, she was infuriated as she scolded Tian Xing.
"You also saw it. It's not that I don't want to agree. It's her who isn't willing. Alright, I'm going to open up this palace hall, "Cheng Yu felt that if they really couldn't get out, staying here with Tian Xue wouldn't be a problem.
However, Cheng Yu firmly believed that he would be able to open up the passage. How could something like this happen? Cheng Yu replied perfunctorily as he quickly opened up the passage.
When the 13 blue spiritual lamps had completed their revolutions, the 13 symbols in the middle region had all lit up.
Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the altar, connecting to the symbol on the ceiling. The symbol on the ceiling immediately lit up, forming a light pillar.
Ka! Ka! Ka! It was at this moment, a hole appeared on the ceiling. Tian Xing and Tian Xue were both stupefied. Momentarily, delight welled up in their hearts. Could this really be a treasury?
"Tian Xing, remember! Your portion is mine, "Cheng Yu laughed. With a swoosh, he flew into the hole.
"Senior Brother, I'm joking! Furthermore, I have yet to agree to it! "Tian Xing grew anxious as he leaped into the hole.
Tian Xue might be dissatisfied with Cheng Yu's attitude, but who wouldn't want a treasure? Only a fool wouldn't want it. Furthermore, she still wanted to take more, angering Cheng Yu to death.
Entering the hole, it was another secret room. Inside, there were three stone doors. Without needing to think, Cheng Yu knew this was where the treasury was located.
"Senior Brother, let's make things clear. I have yet to agree to it. My portion is still mine! "Seeing Cheng Yu was about to open the treasury with the key, Tian Xing hastily pulled Cheng Yu back.
"Didn't we make an agreement just now? Once I find the treasury, your portion will be mine, "Cheng Yu smiled.
"No agreement, no agreement. You also said that my Senior Sister wouldn't agree to it. Therefore, our bet isn't valid!" Tian Xing grew anxious. This was a treasury! How could he be willing to let it go just like that?
"That I can't control. I didn't object to your conditions. That means I've agreed to it. Therefore, the bet is valid," Cheng Yu took up the key and inserted it into the middle stone door.
"Ah! Four spiritual veins! "Tian Xing was startled.
Whoosh! However, before Tian Xing and Tian Xue could see it clearly, Cheng Yu had already stored away the four spiritual veins. After that, he took away three quarters of the spiritual stones.
"Senior Brother, you are truly generous. Leaving behind so many spiritual stones for us." Although Cheng Yu had only left behind a quarter, the amount of spiritual stones here was much more than the Thousand Flower Palace.
"Wait. Don't get it wrong. These are for your Senior Sister. Your portion has already been taken by me," Cheng Yu stopped Tian Xing.
"Senior Brother, don't. How could my Senior Sister use so many spiritual stones? These belong to both of us," Tian Xing grew anxious when he was stopped by Cheng Yu.
"Who says I can't finish it? This is mine alone," Tian Xue also cooperated with Cheng Yu, starting to keep the spiritual stones.
"Senior Sister, you are not loyal. I did it all for you. Now, you actually joined hands with Senior Brother to bully me," Tian Xing saw the spiritual stones were getting lesser and lesser, so he grew even more anxious. However, he was stopped by Cheng Yu.
"Who asked you to spout nonsense?" Tian Xue was angered when she thought of this. Tian Xing might have good intentions, but the result had caused her to lose a lot of face.
"You obviously like Senior Brother. Why can't you say it? I'm doing it for your happiness," Tian Xing yelled.
"Er …" Hearing Tian Xing speak so bluntly, Cheng Yu had no idea what to say.
"You still dare to speak? Let's see if you don't tear your mouth off!" Tian Xue was ashamed and angered when she saw Tian Xing had completely torn apart the paper. She kept all the spiritual stones in one breath.
"My spiritual stones! … "Tian Xing saw there wasn't a single spiritual stone left, he felt his heart bleeding as he cried out mournfully.
This mournful and resentful voice caused Cheng Yu's heart to shiver. Quickly, he ran to the other stone door.
Next was the armory and pill storehouse. This time, Cheng Yu didn't obstruct Tian Xing and gave them a portion of the pills.
