Inside the maze, Lin Heng stood in a dead end, struggling with his dilemma.
The others who entered the maze also encountered a desperate situation.
"Damn it, this is a lousy maze. I've gone through every single route, and not one of them is right."
Yan Xishan roared from the dead end of the last route.
"Another dead end? Is this maze not testing how to find the correct route?"
Lei Yuxiao was relatively calmer, but beneath his puzzled expression lay a hint of anger in his eyes.
"That's interesting. It seems we underestimated this challenge."
Ling Wushuang stared at the dead end before her, a smirk playing on her lips, her fighting spirit palpable.
Within a few days, almost everyone had explored the entire maze.
The strange thing is that from the outside, it looks like a maze, only the entrances are different.
However, after entering the maze, none of them met each other.
And at the entrance cave location.
A stone table and four stone benches appeared here at some point.
Tian Wu was sitting on a stone bench, sipping tea, his gaze fixed on the maze ahead.
From this perspective, everyone had just turned the first corner and was standing there in a daze.
"Tsk tsk!"
A short while later, Tian Wu put down the teapot from his lips, shook his head, and chuckled softly.
"Are the quality of Primordial Chaos and Heavenly Firmament from Nine Heavens really this bad now?"
"We can't even find our way out of the Great Dao Labyrinth."
"If this were in our era, with their talent, it would be a miracle if they even survived to break through to the Primordial Chaos."
Tian Wu's tone was full of disdain.
After a self-mocking monologue, Tian Wu's gaze settled on Lin Heng.
"Young Lin, if you can't even get past this hurdle, then you'll have let down Brother Dijiang's expectations of you."
Lin Heng had been staring at the earthen wall in front of him for two full hours, in the blind spot.
At one point, Lin Heng lowered his hand from the earthen wall and slowly closed his eyes.
In the darkness, the whole world seemed so silent.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Lin Heng stood there with his eyes closed.
He didn't know how much time had passed when the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground echoed in Lin Heng's heart.
At the same time, the once dark world has changed.
A pool of water appeared at Lin Heng's feet.
The gently rippling water was flowing towards my left front.
Lin Heng took his first step following the flow of water.
At the cave entrance, Tian Wu, who had been leisurely enjoying tea, suddenly stood up.
Tian Wu stared intently at Lin Heng, who was walking forward step by step.
He strode forward, and the earthen wall that had been blocking his way began to shake violently.
Lin Heng passed through the earthen wall without encountering any obstruction.
"The Great Dao faces the heavens, forming its own realm."
"No wonder Brother Dijiang values this kid so highly; he's managed to merge the Dao Realm and the Primordial Chaos World in such a short time."
Only those Dao Realm that belong to their own world can be free from the limitations and constraints of their surrounding space.
"I originally thought it would be good enough if Lin could beat the game using the most basic method."
"I never expected this little guy to use such a sophisticated method."
"Hehe! Interesting, very interesting!"
Inside the maze, Lin Heng continued forward.
At this moment, he had only the world within his heart, nothing else.
Step by step, Lin Heng passed through hundreds of walls, finally finding his way through a dead end.
A dazzling white light shone on his face, pulling Lin Heng out of the dark world.
"They're out?"
Looking at the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers before him, Lin Heng's eyes lit up.
At this moment, the space five meters in front of Lin Heng rippled, and Tian Wu walked out from it.
"Young Lin, I knew I wasn't wrong about you; you're the first one to come out."
As soon as he appeared, Tian Wu praised him without reservation.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Tian Wu."
"Without your guidance, I would still be trapped in the maze."
Lin Heng bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
Tian Wu shook his head.
This completely baffled Lin Heng.
Did I thank the wrong person?
"It's not just you; I'll remind everyone who enters the maze of that phrase."
Lin Heng's eyes widened, his face a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
You misunderstood my feelings.
Tian Wu continued, "You all had that same reminder, and you aged twice as fast as them inside the maze, yet you were the first to come out."
At this Tian Wu, Lin Heng quickly raised his hand to take a look.
The wrinkles on the back of my hand that were there in the maze have disappeared.
Lin Heng asked curiously, "May I ask, senior, was the old man who appeared in the maze merely an illusion?"
Tian Wu gently stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.
"Who can truly distinguish between reality and fantasy?"
Tian Wu didn't explain, but he did give a definite answer, "If you can't get out of the maze before you die of old age, then you can only die inside the maze."
As he spoke, Tian Wu's gaze fell behind Lin Heng: "Over the countless years, how many thousands have perished within the labyrinth?"
Lin Heng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this!
Before he could speak again, Tian Wu had already turned around and pointed to the lotus pond in front of him.
It was only about fifty square meters, but the pond was full of lotus flowers and leaves, making it extremely beautiful.
"Go, the lotus pond contains the treasures that will help you clear the level. Each person can choose one."
Tian Wu said something, Lin Heng was overjoyed. He took a step forward, and just as he passed Tian Wu, Tian Wu put his hand on his shoulder. "Young Lin, there is a personal treasure left by the master in the lotus pond. No one has taken it yet. Don't miss it."
Lin Heng glanced back at Tian Wu and saw a meaningful look in the other's smiling face and eyes. Lin Heng nodded in response.
Thank you, senior.
After expressing his gratitude, Lin Heng continued walking towards the lotus pond.
Arriving at the pond, Lin Heng leaped into the water.
With a 'thud,' before his feet even touched the ground, Lin Heng felt himself stepping on something hard.
He bent down to pick up the object at his feet, and upon closer inspection, found it to be a snow-white shield.
Lin Heng channeled his energy, using eighty percent of his strength to strike the shield.
A flash of light appeared on the shield, and all the energy released by Lin Heng was absorbed into it.
Good heavens!
"This shield must be at least Second-Class Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure, right?"
With just one strike, Lin Heng had a rough idea of the shield's grade.
However, Lin Heng then casually tossed the shield back into the lotus pond.
How could a treasure that the Master of Heavenly Estate carries with him at all times and that Tian Wu solemnly informs him of could be nothing more than a mere Second-Class Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure?
Even Lin Heng wouldn't look down on this thing, let alone the Master of Heavenly Estate.
After discarding the shield, Lin Heng continued his search in the pool.
Outside the maze, Tian Wu squinted and observed. Every time Lin Heng retrieved something from the lotus pond, he would immediately look over, but unfortunately, Tian Wu always showed disappointment.
