If it was a formation, the most annoying thing was undoubtedly the Maze Formation. If someone entered this place and didn't know the way to break the Maze Formation, they would walk back and forth. It would seem that they had walked thousands of miles, but in the end, they would realize that they had walked in circles for days and nights. Even if they walked for hundreds or thousands of years, they would only walk in a small circle.
If they found out, they would be disgusted to death.
What was even more disgusting than the Maze Formation was a maze!
A maze was even more disgusting. In a maze, almost everything you saw was exactly the same. The forks were the same, the passageways were the same, and the rocks under your feet were the same. Every passageway was exactly the same, without any deviation. If you walked out of this forked path, there would be another ten or so identical forked paths in front of you.
Every step you took was a step deeper into the maze. In the end, it would be strange if you didn't go crazy because of the endless forked paths. Perhaps someone with a weaker will would completely collapse in the maze. A maze like this didn't need any guards.
Once you entered, the maze was your biggest enemy.
There were only two kinds of people who could pass through such a maze. The first kind was those who knew the specific way of the maze, had a map of the maze in hand, or could find some obscure markings. Only then would they be able to reach the destination. The second kind was those who were extremely lucky and could find the right path with their eyes closed. That was a matter of innate luck. No one could say anything when they walked out. There was another kind, which was even rarer, intuition. Innate intuition, or the ability to sense something. Only then would they be able to pass through unimpeded.
The karst cave in front of them was the most disgusting kind of maze. No matter how good a person's memory was, they would become confused after walking a few rounds in this place.
However, Di Shitian's performance was even more mysterious. He naturally shuttled through the forked paths, his body moving quickly like a ghost. Every time he came to a fork, he didn't seem to need to think at all and could directly choose a path. It was as if he had some kind of intuition in the dark.
In an instant, he had passed through countless forked paths.
"Bang bang bang!!"
At this moment, in the Heavenly Lake, the fierce fighting suddenly stopped. Many figures passed through the black veil in front of the cave and rushed into the cave. They were led by Wu Wudi, Shui Wuhen, and Lu Ziling. There were less than a hundred cultivators behind them, and each of them had wounds of varying sizes. He appeared to be in a sorry state.
However, even though they were in a sorry state, traces of joy surfaced on their faces as their gazes occasionally landed on their storage bags. Obviously, each of them placed great importance on the items in their bags.
"That's right. The sound of the zither came from this cave. Di Shitian had already rushed in and is nowhere to be seen. He must have entered the cave. However, there were nine forks in front of him, and he didn't know which one was the correct entrance. If you go the wrong way, it might be very troublesome. " Wu Wudi's eyes flashed. He didn't care about the injuries on his body. He kept looking back and forth at the nine forks. He hoped that he could find the correct passage.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the nine forks were exactly the same in terms of appearance and aura. There was no difference at all. It was quite difficult to tell which one was the correct one. It was almost impossible.
"I'm afraid this is a huge maze. I read about it in the library back at home. If there are forks in front of you, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that it's a huge maze. Such a maze is easy to enter, but difficult to exit. If you can't find the correct path, it's possible that you'll be trapped in there for the rest of your life. Everyone, please don't recklessly enter the forks. "
Shui Wuhen closed his folding fan with a snap. He looked at the cave in front of him with a dignified expression. It was obvious that he was taking it seriously.
The smallest part of the labyrinth was that there were three forks in the beginning. After the other forks, there would be three more forks. The cycle of three by three was endless. If you couldn't find the way out, you would be trapped inside. The higher the number of forks, the more frightening the labyrinth would be. It was said that the highest level of the labyrinth was the nine paths.
There were exactly nine forks in front of them. If they went in, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that they'd be trapped in there.
"Then what do we do? Are we going to be blocked by these forks? The Verdant Zither might be hidden in the maze. If we stop here, we won't be able to achieve the purpose of this trip." Lu Ziling frowned, appearing extremely impatient and annoyed.
Almost everyone who had survived realized that the greatest secret of the zither realm might be hidden in this maze. It was also their goal this time — the Verdant Zither! After all, the natural and peaceful sound of the zither had come from here. In this place, no one was a big deal. It could be guessed with one's toes.
However, in front of these nine forks, no one dared to act rashly. They were afraid that if they entered, they wouldn't be able to come out. That would be a complete tragedy. No one wanted to play around with their lives and gamble on a small probability. For a moment, everyone looked at the nine forks in front of them at the entrance of the cave and didn't move. It was as if they weren't forks in front of them, but nine terrifying fierce beasts.
In the Myriad Demon Valley —
On the waterfall peak in the valley, a clear stream of water splashed with countless snow-white splashes fell from the sky and heavily fell into the pool below. There was a large reef on the peak. On the reef, a girl in a snow-white white dress was holding a cyan treasure box in her hand. Her two intelligent eyes were constantly scanning the treasure box.
She reached out a hand and wanted to put it down, but she couldn't.
After a long time, as if in a fit of pique, he threw the treasure box to the side and said angrily, "How infuriating. Who exactly created this Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box? To actually use such a puzzle as a restriction. If I hadn't seen Sakra, I wouldn't have known that there was such a puzzle hidden in this jade box. But why is the puzzle so difficult?" His gaze towards the treasure box was filled with anger.
She was annoyed that Di Shitian could solve the puzzle, but she couldn't. Didn't this mean that she was inferior to Di Shitian?
"Sister Bai Hu, if you can't solve it, then don't. When brother comes back, return it to him and let him solve it. Brother will definitely find a way to solve it. " Beside her, a little white tiger looked at the girl and said. It had incomparable confidence in the brother it was referring to. It was as if in her heart, her brother was omnipotent.
"Your brother went out this time and his whereabouts are uncertain. It's to learn zither skills so that he can control the Seven Sins Demon Zither. I'm afraid he won't be back for a year or two. "The girl in the palace dress shook her head slightly. She looked into the distance.
They were none other than Bai Hu, Su Tianxiang, and Little Di Shitian. When Di Shitian was about to leave, Bai Hu suddenly asked Di Shitian for the Heavenly Treasure Box. Although Di Shitian knew that there was a big secret in this treasure box, he needed Bai Hu to look after the Myriad Demon Valley. Bai Hu's strength was even more unfathomable, so he could only return the treasure box to her.
Bai Hu had seen Di Shitian solve the treasure box. Only then did she know that the patterns on the treasure box that looked like patterns in the past were actually a puzzle. Only then did she understand the true key to solving the treasure box. Therefore, when she got the treasure box, she wanted to solve it by hand. Unfortunately, none of these pieces were connected. They looked like little tadpoles. There was not much difference or connection between them.
It seemed that Bai Hu did not have any talent in this area. Looking at the dense patterns, her eyes were dizzy. It was as if countless little tadpoles had appeared in front of her. She wanted to solve it but did not know where to start. Only then did she angrily throw the treasure box aside. She laughed bitterly to herself. "Is the Heavenly Treasure Box really not fated to be with me? Could it be that its owner is Di Shitian? "
"Brother is learning, and Little White also wants to become stronger. Little White has been cultivating the cultivation technique that brother left for me these days. I'm much stronger than before. When brother comes back, Little White wants to give brother a surprise, "Little White said longingly.
These days, not only Little White, it could be said that all the spirit beasts and monsters in the valley were cultivating with all their might. With the help of elixirs and spirit wine, all of them buried their heads in cultivation. They were all holding their breaths, hoping that they could be of use in the future. They hoped that during this period of time, they could become demonic beasts.
One had to know that before leaving, Di Shitian had even passed down the secret technique of opening up the demonic abode. He had also made all the subordinates in the valley loyal to him. There would definitely not be a situation of betrayal.
This was loyalty to the death!
Using kindness and authority had always been the best method for a person in a higher position.
Bai Hu gently patted Little White's head. She raised her head and looked into the distance. There was a strange expression on her face.
"Swoosh!"
Sakra quickly shuttled through the passageway. Every time he chose a fork, he didn't need to think at all. He didn't know how many forks he had passed through before his eyes suddenly opened up. After walking out of the fork, what was placed in front of him was no longer an endless fork, but a huge and spacious cave. In front of his eyes, there were pieces of floating water. Sparkling and translucent water ripples appeared.
They were suffused with a strange luster.
In front of him was a pool. The water in the pool was incomparably clear. There were pieces of smooth large stones in the pool, connecting all the way to form a path on the water.
In the center of the pool, there was actually an ancient pavilion. Obviously, this was not naturally formed. In the pavilion, there was a table and a stool. On the table, there was a green jade zither. On the jade zither, there were simple and unadorned lines. When combined together, they were actually pieces of jade green leaves. Within these green leaves, if one looked carefully, one could feel an extremely rich aura of life.
This made the jade zither even more mysterious and extraordinary.
"Zither, zither, zither!"
As soon as Di Shitian entered, his sorrowful eyes fell on the jade zither in the ancient pavilion. A trace of clarity appeared in his eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped on those reefs and landed in the ancient pavilion. The moment his hands entered, he grabbed the jade zither.
Very strangely, the jade zither did not have a trace of resistance. His hands landed on the zither.
With this touch, his body trembled violently. The sorrow in his eyes actually slowly faded …
