The Storm of Death.
The instant the storm began to wreak havoc, Ye Zichen sensed it.
At the time, he'd acted instinctively.
He'd pushed Bai Yu out of the storm's range.
Ye Zichen himself had been swallowed up by the storm, but it was already too late for him to escape.
As he stood in the middle of the storm …. His senses were completely sealed off.
In the whirlpool at the center of the storm, every single grain of sand was like a sharp steel knife, leaving horrifying bloody wounds on his body.
Most importantly …. He had the feeling that after being swallowed up for a few hours, he was no longer in the Golden Desert, but rather at the bottom of it.
After an indeterminate amount of time ….
Ye Zichen, at the center of the storm, felt like the storm wasn't as bad as before.
He looked around in confusion, then realized that he was in an underground palace.
Under these circumstances …. Although he was curious about the palace's existence, it wasn't all that important. What mattered most was recovering universal energy as quickly as possible. Fortunately, he'd obtained quite a bit of medicine from the supply boxes.
Just as he was about to take out the supplies, he felt a surge of exhaustion after consuming a large amount of cosmic energy.
It was as if he'd been hypnotized …. Then, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Emperor Star!"
"Emperor Star, wake up!"
As Ye Zichen stared blankly, he heard an urgent call.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the five elemental fairies standing in front of him, their eyes brimming with anxiety.
"Emperor Star."
When they saw Ye Zichen open his eyes, the water fairy instantly used a recovery technique on him. The other elemental fairies' expressions relaxed as well.
"Why did you all come out?"
Ye Zichen had repeatedly warned them not to leave his body during the Youth Struggle. This wasn't a good thing for either them or Ye Zichen.
"Don't worry, no one can see us," said the fire fairy confidently.
The fire elemental sprite said confidently, "We've already asked Bailey to investigate the surroundings. This is no longer the examination area that you were in before."
"Is that so?"
Ye Zichen pushed himself off the ground and tried to stand up, but as he did, he felt his body stiffen.
"How long was I out?"
"About seven months."
The fire elemental sprite replied, "It was because you were unconscious, and there was no response no matter how much we tried to communicate with your sea of consciousness. That's why it left your arm."
"Seven months!"
Ye Zichen subconsciously touched his chin.
Only then did he realize that he had grown a full beard and his hair had thickened.
"He's been unconscious for so long."
"You should be glad that you're still alive."
Bei Li suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with joy, "You stayed in the center of the whirlpool of the storm for a total of eight hours. In the middle, your cosmic energy had already been exhausted. You might not have felt it, but you had already overdrawn a large amount of cosmic energy, causing your Cosmic Sea to dry up.
If we weren't lucky enough to be dragged here, you might already be dead. "
"No wonder."
As soon as he woke up, Ye Zichen tried to use cosmic energy to fix his appearance. However, he couldn't sense any cosmic energy on his body at all.
In the end, he had overexerted himself and was completely exhausted.
As for the rest, Ye Zichen shrugged without much concern.
It was good that he could survive! The depletion of the Cosmic Sea was not important.
Exhaustion! A little bit of nourishment could help him recover.
No! Ye Zichen, who'd been calm just a moment ago, suddenly frowned.
Seven months! After all, the exam this time was being broadcasted live. Su Yan and the others would definitely see themselves being swallowed up by the storm. They'd definitely been living in fear for the past seven months.
I have to tell them I'm safe as soon as possible … Subconsciously, he wanted to enter the virtual network.
"Stop thinking about it."
Bei Li shrugged when he felt Ye Zichen's connection request. "There's no virtual network signal here at all. If you want to report that you're safe, then you can only leave from here."
That's right … With that, Ye Zichen looked around him.
This was a completely enclosed castle.
He threw two punches in all directions.
Although Ye Zichen no longer had any cosmic energy, he could still rely on his own strength to reach the star level.
It didn't even leave a mark on the wall.
"This is the complete map of this place."
At that moment, Bei Li sent a map to Ye Zichen. "While you were unconscious, I asked these elemental fairies to investigate the specific situation of the palace, and finally got this map."
Ye Zichen looked at the complicated entrances and exits on the map silently.
Eight Trigrams.
"I'm not seeing things, right? This is an Eight Trigrams."
Ye Zichen opened his eyes wide and pointed at the map in terror.
Eight Trigrams! There's actually an Eight Trigrams here! "I don't know whether it's an Eight Trigrams or not, the only thing I know is that the only way for us to leave this place is to break through from here," Bei Li pointed at a spot on the map.
"This is the place with the lowest density according to my investigation. It's also the easiest to break through from here."
"Break what break!?"
Ye Zichen instantly revealed a look of disdain.
"I can tell that you people in the universe are uncultured. This is an Eight Trigrams. Each Eight Trigrams has three lines, Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. They are separated into eight directions, symbolizing the eight natural phenomena of Heaven, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Swamp. They symbolize the changes and cycles of the world.
The Eight Trigrams are separated into eight gates, Life, Pain, Rest, Du, Scenery, Death, Shock, and Opening.
"We just have to break this formation!"
"I think we'll be able to get out of here."
Ye Zichen understood that the people in the universe didn't understand at all when he saw Bei Li's confused gaze.
Even though the humans in the universe had lived for a long time … Unfortunately, their foundations were too weak.
They had no culture at all.
Just the five thousand years of history of Huaxia on Earth felt like it was comparable to the billions of years of inheritance of these life planets.
What was the use of just strength?
Without cultural heritage and historical heritage, it would be incomplete.
"Then go and break it."
Bei Li did not retort. He merely looked at Ye Zichen silently, as if he was waiting for Ye Zichen to slap his own face.
"Tsk, then watch carefully!"
"Watch and learn. Don't say that I didn't teach you anything."
With that, Ye Zichen walked towards the Eight Trigrams with his head held high.
