The third floor.
Li Xiao stood at the entrance, facing yet another maze.
He looked back and saw that he had a shadow, then tried touching the maze walls. They no longer drained his mental energy.
"Black Jue, White Jue, attack the walls with everything you have."
Li Xiao released White Jue and Black Jue from the Nether Domain and gave the order directly.
The two ghosts acknowledged him and immediately attacked the maze walls. But despite exhausting every trick in their arsenal, they failed to leave so much as a mark. Only when Li Xiao told them to stop did they cease their attacks.
"Young master, these walls have formidable defenses. I fear only a Ghost King could break them," Black Jue said.
White Jue nodded in agreement, then said, "These walls look fragile, but they're incredibly tough. Yet the force rebounding from them isn't strong. Black Jue and I attacked with all our strength. If they were indestructible, the rebound alone should have injured us. But neither of us was hurt, and we still failed to breach their defenses. Only a Ghost King could accomplish that."
Although they only possessed the strength of ghost soldiers, together they could hold their own even against an ordinary ghost general. That was why they judged that only a Ghost King could deal with these walls.
Li Xiao, however, had a different opinion. Even a Ghost King might not be much use against these walls.
His reasoning was simple: Li Zongxu must have challenged the Infinite Reincarnation Pagoda too. If it were truly that easy to clear, Li Dun would surely have mentioned Li Zongxu's progress. Yet Li Dun had never breathed a word about it, which meant that Li Zongxu had also failed to clear the entire Infinite Reincarnation Pagoda.
