Jiang Yi’s optimism relieved the worry that was on He Lao’s brows. After he thought about it a little, he was quickly at ease. It was already praiseworthy for the two of them to make it here, and he had just picked up his life back. It didn’t matter how much further they were going to make it; it was just important for them to kill Yun Lu before they die.

It was impossible for Yun Lu to be in control of all the restrictions in the forbidden ground; otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t even be able to make it here. Since he only had control of a portion of the restrictions—or perhaps he could activate a portion of the restrictions, he wasn’t a threat. With his measly strength—once the two of them got near to him, they would be able to kill him without any effort.

He Lao quickly took out some healing medicine and consumed it. He didn’t dare to enter a meditative state as he was afraid Yun Lu might return to kill them. He simply wrapped up his wounds, leaned at a corner of the walls, and rested while waiting for Jiang Yi to finish his recuperation.

Jiang Yi didn’t suffer any grievous injuries and was just overly fatigued as his stamina, essence force, and mental energy were all excessively exhausted. He secluded for around an hour before waking up. When Jiang Yi saw that He Lao was still on guard, he quickly expressed words for He Lao to recuperate because his injuries were extremely serious.

He Lao couldn’t hold it anymore, and he must quickly heal up. Otherwise, there would be internal injuries which would affect his strength. Jiang Yi walked over to lean by the corner of the wall and shut his eyes, trying to think about the dao pattern that he had just comprehended.

Mid-grade dao pattern?

When he recalled about He Lao’s words, Jiang Yi opened his eyes in a daze. His dao pattern was indeed similar to He Lao’s, but its firepower was way stronger. Could it be an evolved form of He Lao’s dao pattern, which was this mid-grade dao pattern?

This dao pattern can only be sensed and couldn’t be imparted verbally. I comprehended it according to He Lao’s dao pattern, but I ended up comprehending a mid-grade dao pattern? If I had gone the wrong path and comprehended it in the wrong direction, I might not be able to exit that stray path in this lifetime.

Jiang Yi sighed for a moment. He wasn’t knowledgeable about dao patterns, and the Demon Empress merely mentioned some things briefly—while he was couldn’t understand everything else. He thought about it for a moment and didn’t want to think anymore. He simply rested while at ease.

One day later, Jiang Yi and He Lao both recovered; but they didn’t enter the teleportation array recklessly and continued to rest instead. It was only now that Jiang Yi had the time to ask He Lao, “He Lao, are you that certain that mine is a mid-grade dao pattern? Didn’t that mean that if I have enough essence force, I am comparable to a Vajra Realm?”

He Lao looked at Jiang Yi with a face of envy and lamented. “Young Master Yi, I have 80% certainty that your dao pattern is of mid-grade. If it is truly a mid-grade dao pattern, then when your essence force is cultivated to the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm, your purple mansion will transform. You will be a Vajra Ream martial expert.”

“Purple mansion will transform...”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose embarrassedly. He didn’t even have a purple mansion; how was it going to transform? The Demon Empress mentioned that once his third star sphere transforms, his essence force would be comparable to the Vajra Realm martial experts. When he thought about this, he would be secretly excited. If he was able to escape from this place successfully, he would find a way to dig out the celestial stones in the Divine Vein and make the star spheres in his dantian transform. He would then be able to attain the Vajra Realm quickly!

There were too little Vajra Realm martial experts in the continent. Every birth of a Vajra Realm martial expert would cause a commotion in the continent—let alone Jiang Yi who was only so young.

The challenging part to attaining Vajra Realm was to comprehend dao patterns while the essence force was of the secondary challenge. After all, with all the rare resources in the world—as long as one had some sort of talent, they would be able to attain Vajra Realm sooner or later after years of cultivation.

Something isn’t right though!

When Jiang Yi thought until this point, he began to have some doubts. There were so little Vajra Realm martial experts... precisely because dao patterns were hard to comprehend. He Lao had been comprehending for decades and still couldn’t comprehend the second type of dao pattern. What did he have that allowed him to instantly comprehend a mid-grade dao pattern?

Could he be an immortal that came from heaven? Did he have a divine body?

There were plenty of elite prodigies in the continent with astounding talents. What made it so easy for Jiang Yi to comprehend dao patterns? He started doubting the fact that it wasn’t a mid-grade dao pattern that he had comprehended.

After he spoke about his doubts, He Lao was stumped by the questions. He muttered for a long time before replying, “Young Master Yi, according to my judgment, your constitution should be different from a normal human; and Lady Piaopiao is definitely not a normal human, too. You should have inherited her constitution... of course, I do not know the exact details. After we get out of here, you can go ask Lady Shui Youlan or the Demon Empress. They might know more about it.”

“Get out of here...”

Jiang Yi remained silent. It was useless to think about all these for now. If he couldn’t get out from this place, it was useless even if he comprehended the ultimate-grade dao pattern. He didn’t ponder about it for another minute while an absolute beauty’s face appeared in his mind. He let out a sigh and muttered, “Mother, are you dead or alive? If you aren’t dead, then... where are you?”

Yi Piaopiao’s grave was empty, and Jiang Yi originally wanted to find some time to look for Shui Youlan to ask, but he was delayed by several matters. Previously, Shui Youlan did come to the outskirts of Summer Rain City, but it was a perilous situation. He didn’t have the time to ask her about it.

“Stop thinking about. I will do everything I can to walk out of this forbidden ground! Ruoxue and Xiaonu are still waiting for me to return!” Jiang Yi let out a bitter smile and closed his eyes to sleep.

After resting for two days, He Lao’s injuries were about 80% recovered; and Jiang Yi had recovered back to his prime. After cultivating for two days, he was brimming with vitality. He then asked about He Lao’s condition before the two of them prepared to depart.

“Let’s hope that the fourth floor isn’t too insane!”

Jiang Yi and He Lao prayed at the same time. If the third floor was already so insane, the fourth floor was surely going to be worse. It was needless to say that the two of them were prepared to perish at any time.

Buzz!

The teleportation array quickly lit up. When Jiang Yi was being teleported, he immediately released the Massacre Intent while his Fire Dragon Sword was glowing with radiance, getting ready to attack at any moment.

“Eh?”

The two of them found it weird when there was nothing but silence, and there weren’t any dangers. The two of them didn’t appear in some strange terrain; they appeared in a small palace hall instead. This hall was around 300 meters in radius, and there were large doors in all directions. Apart from all these things, there was nothing else.

“Oh no!”

Jiang Yi and He Lao’s heart pounded. This fourth floor might not seem to be dangerous, but they felt it was the most endangering kind of place. This looked like a maze.

The Witch God had set up a maze, and it didn’t matter if there were any formidable demonic beasts or monsters. The maze was already terrifying on its own. The two of them might have to wander in this maze forever—until all the rations and water ran out in Jiang Yi’s Fire Spirit Pearl... until they were trapped to death in this place.

Boom!

He Lao shot out a sword light, and as they had expected, the stone walls radiated with light when the restriction activated. There was no sign of damage to the wall. When the two of them randomly entered a door, they noticed it was a small palace hall that looked exactly the same as the previous one. The two of them looked at each other and let out bitter smiles.

After pausing for a moment, they picked another door to enter again. After walked through a few halls, they realized that all of them were the exact same small palace halls.

It was indeed a maze.

It was a maze that made them speechless. There were doors in all four directions and after entering the door, it was the exact same hall. If there was no way to obtain any sense of direction, how was anyone going to find the exit?

“Young Master Yi, what should we do?”

He Lao felt helpless. The Witch God had such powerful strength and proficiency in restrictions. Were they able to walk out of the maze that was set up by him?

Jiang Yi muttered for a moment and randomly rushed into the door on the left. He yelled out, “Let’s go! Let’s just go randomly and see if we can find Yun Lu. If we can find him... we might be able to walk out of this maze.”
