188: C188 Nine Palaces

C188 Nine Palaces

Lin Yue placed the Heaven-shaking Bell into the groove and felt his eyes brighten up. His body lightened up and he found himself in a huge molten cave.

Mu Qingyuv and the others also appeared in the cave. Those who opened the door were directly transported in.

Lin Yue instinctively wanted to use his Divine Sense to scan the place and see what was happening. However, he found that the Divine Sense in this space was restricted and could not be used!

Everyone looked at each other, guarded against each other, and quickly rushed forward.

Lin Yue disguised himself and wore a loose black robe. Mu Qingyuv and the others did not recognize him.

At the same time, those waiting outside the cave only felt a golden light shining. In the next moment, those who opened the door disappeared, and the void gate slowly opened.

Everyone flew towards the gate. They entered the cave first, and naturally had the chance to get the good stuff first.

Moreover, the opening of the remains had a time limit. Once the time passed, the gate would close and they would not be able to enter.

Many people had just flown to the gate, but before they could enter, they were sent flying to the side by the people behind them.

In order to enter the cave, they would use any means necessary.

This was the cave of Ou Zhi, a grandmaster weaponsmith. Any weapon they found inside would be several times better than what they had now.

A good weapon could greatly increase a person's combat strength.

This kind of temptation was fatal to cultivators.

Therefore, at this time, everyone was thinking about how to enter the cave earlier.

Due to the limited space in the main door, conflicts were naturally unavoidable.

In an instant, sword lights, sword shadows, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

There were a total of nine people who had enlightened him. Other than Lin Yue, Mu Qingyuv, and Shangguan Chen, there were also three other people, who were led by Leng Yun and Lin Chuyao.

These three people were all Peak of Star-treading warriors, but they looked unfamiliar to him.

Lin Yue maintained a certain distance from these people and cautiously walked forward.

The cave was built in the middle of the mountain. It was probably built around the center of the magma tunnel. The temperature was extremely high.

As Lin Yue had the Spiritual Fire protecting his body, the high temperature did not affect him much.

Lin Yue sped along the tunnel. The sooner he entered the main room, the higher the chances of him obtaining the treasure. He might even receive the inheritance of the cave's owner.

However, the greater the reward, the more risk he would face.

The one at the front had the highest chance of encountering a trap.

Mu Qingyuv and the others were all peak Star-treading Stage experts, so their speed was naturally extremely fast. The shadows in the passageway shook, and the sound of the wind could be heard.

Bang!

Just as Lin Yue was moving forward, he suddenly heard the sound of weapons colliding in front of him, and the sound of weapons colliding could be heard continuously.

Due to the limitations of his Divine Sense, he couldn't see what exactly was happening in his field of vision. He slowed down his speed and advanced carefully.

After going around a bend, Lin Yue saw Mu Qingyuv and Shangguan Chen fighting against Ruo Wei and the other two from the Dragon Sword Sect.

Beside them, there was a corpse. It was one of the people who had opened the door.

"Senior Mu, it's pointless for us to fight here. We can only let others benefit from it. Why don't we enter the main room first and get what we want?" Ruo Wei said.

"Well said. Then why did the three of you attack us?" Mu Qingyuv said coldly.

She and Shangguan Chen had just turned a corner when they encountered an assassination attempt by Ruo Wei and the others.

"We thought it was someone else, but we didn't know it was you." Ruo Wei said with a bitter smile, "Divine sense is restricted here. Before we meet, we don't know who came."

Mu Qingyuv sneered and looked at the corpse beside her.

It should be that if they were to hide at this bend, they could use the advantage of the three of them to instantly kill the person who arrived later.

Moreover, they continued to hide here, wanting to kill the one who opened the door.

If it was for them, they would have already planned Mu Qingyuv and the others to enter. It was just that their sneak attack had not succeeded.

After all, Mu Qingyuv and Shangguan Chen were their biggest threat here. As long as they eliminated the two of them, the cave would be under the control of the three of them.

"This person was the one who attacked us recklessly. We had no choice but to kill him." Ruo Wei said.

"Oh, since that's the case, then it's a misunderstanding." Mu Qingyuv said.

She knew that if it was to distort the truth, then the three of them were very powerful. She did not want to make a move against them here.

Because it would definitely be very soon. The people behind would rush over here.

"It's definitely a misunderstanding." Ruo Wei said, "Since that's the case, let's go our separate ways."

With that, the three of them sped off.

Lin Yue saw Mu Qingyuv and Shangguan Chen rushing forward as well, so he put on the Invisibility Robe and sped up.

He did not know if they would find another place to attack if they were in front of them. Although using the Invisibility Robe consumed spiritual energy, it was still safer.

An hour later, he arrived at an even wider tunnel.

On the four walls of the passageway, there were many ancient patterns carved. Most of them were related to artifact forging.

Lin Yue's eyes focused, and he imprinted all of these drawings into his mind.

Although it was useless now, it would not take much effort to memorize these drawings.

Besides, if these patterns appeared here, there might be some clues.

He turned a right corner once again, and in front of him was a tunnel that was about a thousand meters long. At the end of it was a bronze door, and inside should be the main room of the cave.

However, if Mu Qingyuv were to lead the group, they would all stop at this side of the tunnel. Looking at the door on the opposite side, they frowned.

He restrained his aura and stood in a corner. He was completely invisible as he looked at them.

"Senior Mu, do you have a way to solve it?" If it was to ask a question, then he would take a step forward. Spiritual energy surged, and several dozen light cells appeared on the ground, filling the passageway.

He quickly took a few steps forward with the light grids, but he was forcefully moved back to his original position by an invisible force.

There were a total of nine rows of light grids, nine in each row, forming a large nine-palace grid.

When advancing, one had to step on the light grid. One row could only take one step. According to the correct route, one could only advance nine steps to reach the opposite side.

The few of them had already tried hundreds of times, but they still could not find the correct route.

Lin Yue could also tell what was going on. If there was only one correct route, there would be nine rows. Each row had nine light grids, and there would be nine possibilities of nine different paths. There were about 380 million paths!

380 million paths, this number was too terrifying. Even if they tried a possible route in a second, it would still take more than 4,000 days, which was more than 12 years, to complete!

Therefore, trying one by one was definitely the most foolish and impossible method.

No wonder there were no traps along the way. It turned out that the most powerful one was this stage.

If one wanted to enter the main room of the abode, they had to pass this level.

But since the cave was opened, there must be a hint.

Along the way, other than the pattern on the passage, there seemed to be nothing else. Could it be that the clue was in the pattern?

Lin Yue hurriedly recalled the contents of the picture because it wouldn't take long for Mu Qingyuv and the others to think of it.

"I can't think of it. This kind of blind attempt will definitely not work." Although she had never learned functions, she knew that she would try every path. She estimated that the time for the cave to close would be up. She would not be able to finish trying.

"There is only a total of 81 light grids and not much. Trying to follow each route should not take much time." Ruo Wei said, "Moreover, we've already tried hundreds of different paths."

Lin Yue almost laughed out loud when he heard that. Uncultured was really scary!

"Then you can try it here." She gave Shangguan Chen a look and said, "I will go and find if there are any other entrances."

As she spoke, she and Shangguan Chen followed the original path back. They should also be looking at the patterns on the stone wall.

Ruo Wei frowned, "Junior sister Bing, junior sister Lin, you two follow the two of them. I will continue to try here."

Previously, they had been thinking of entering the main room as soon as possible. They were extremely fast and did not notice the picture on the stone wall at all.

But he knew that Mu Qingyuv must have thought of something and let Leng Yun and Lin Chuyao follow to take a look.

Leng Yun and Lin Chuyao nodded, and their bodies flashed as they followed.

If it was because of their extremely fast speed, they had actually tried ten different routes in one breath. Unfortunately, they were all wrong and were forced to move out of the first row of light again and again.

"How stupid. I actually felt threatened by people with this kind of IQ before. It really wasn't worth it." Lin Yue forcefully held back his laughter.

Even if he tried twenty different routes for a single breath, he would never be able to finish them when the cave was closed.

According to the previous rules, the cave wouldn't open for more than a month at most.

After giving Ruo Wei a disdainful look, the pattern on the stone wall quickly appeared in his mind.

He looked at it as a whole and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a total of eighty-one pictures!

Eighty-one pictures, eighty-one squares, there must be some kind of corresponding pattern.

In his mind, the images of the Nine Palaces were swiftly formed. He then placed the eighty-one pictures into the Nine Palaces, one after another.

"Could it be a puzzle?" Lin Yue thought for a moment. He felt that it was more likely to be a puzzle. He used his consciousness to control the diagrams in the palace squares and continued to try. However, he did not manage to form a satisfactory pattern.

Lin Yue had a feeling that as long as he could form the diagram, the route would naturally be clear.

If he continued to try, his eyebrows would knit together. He realized more and more that this small eighty-one grids actually contained so many paths.

"Senior Brother Ruo." At this time, the sexy and enchanting Lin Chuyao appeared once again. "Previously, there were a total of eighty-one patterns on the stone wall. It should be related to the paths."

Ruo Wei secretly cursed himself for being stupid when he heard that. He directly turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Lin Chuyao also hurriedly followed. Although she found the pattern, how to find the correct route was still a headache.0

In this way, Lin Yue was the only one left.

His brain was working rapidly, moving the pattern back and forth in the palace lattice.

"Could it be..." Lin Yue's eyes lit up, "Could it be the diagram of a crafting furnace?"

With a thought, the picture in his sea of consciousness quickly changed. An ancient furnace picture slowly took shape!
