Chapter 263: Nine Different Pathways! (2/2)

“Why do you say so?” Cheng Yu asked curiously.

“These palaces are hidden beneath the ground and there is no one alive inside. I believe something major must have happened, causing them to be forced to hide. In order to allow their heritage to continue to some extent, they would definitely seek a successor. Previously, when you asked us to drip our blood at the Flowery Ocean, wasn’t it to test such a thing? Since we couldn’t open it and you could, this means that you are the successor they have chosen. If they didn’t want others to obtain their inheritance, why would they allow others to enter? Wouldn’t it be better off for them to just permanently shut their opening mechanism?” Ever since Tian Xue had entered the Thousand Flower Palace, she became very curious and whenever she was alone, she would think of how Cheng Yu had opened the palaces.

“Tian Xue? Is this really you? Seems like I have really underestimated you!” Hearing what Tian Xue had said, Cheng Yu was unable to believe she was actually so meticulous.

“Hmph! Good that you know!” Tian Xue saw Cheng Yu’s surprised expression and she felt complacent. Knowing Cheng Yu for so long, she had always been astonished by what happened before Cheng Yu. Now that she was finally able to make that insufferably arrogant person be astonished by her logic, it could be counted that she had finally gained back some of her face.

“Heh! Senior Brother, this is my true Senior Sister,” Tian Xing giggled. Actually, before Cheng Yu had appeared, Tian Xue had always been their leader because Tian Xue was very calm and her thoughts were very meticulous. However, ever since they met Cheng Yu and were saved by him, everything changed. Tian Xue had turned to someone smitten by love. Ever since Tian Xue was young, she had been very strong and independent. But no matter how strong she was, she was just a female.

Every woman always dreamt of being together with a handsome and outstanding man. They wanted a capable and outstanding hero so that they could depend on him. Previously when Tian Xue had fallen into a calamity, Cheng Yu was the hero that appeared before her to save her. Furthermore, Cheng Yu’s strength had truly caused her to be in shock. And it was also because of such prowess that it caused Tian Xue to virtually place down that kind of mentality in her and started to depend on Cheng Yu. Therefore, Cheng Yu had become their core for everything. As long as Cheng Yu was around, she would not need to be vigilant and everything could be given to Cheng Yu to be in-charge of.

“Really? That’s to say you guys have hidden yourself very well? I have almost been deceived by you people,” Cheng Yu sized Tian Xue up curiously.

“No? We have always been so!” Tian Xue suddenly changed from her firm and experienced self back into her weak and coyish manner.

“…” Cheng Yu’s face was filled with black lines. This woman changed too quickly. So much that he thought what happened just now was just an illusion. “Treat it as I said nothing. Let’s return to the main topic! What you said just now seems quite reasonable. Since it is so, I will just pick a passage at random. Do you guys want to return to the Mountain River Diagram or follow behind me?”

“I want to follow you!” Tian Xue replied without thinking. In fact, she had long wished to exit from the diagram, she just couldn’t find an opportunity to do so. Previously, because her cultivation was too low, she had become a burden for Cheng Yu and couldn’t be of any help to him. The reason why she placed so much effort in cultivating to breakthrough to Golden Core Realm was so she could fight alongside Cheng Yu. Now that there was an opportunity to do so, why would she waste it?

“I will also be following you! Staying in the Mountain River Diagram for too long is not beneficial. If I’m to not experience any life or death situations, I might not be able to advance into to the Golden Core Realm,” Tian Xing pondered before speaking. Although he was the weakest among them, he had still broken through to Foundation Establishment late stage. The gap between him and Cheng Yu or Tian Xue was too big. He had only advanced by a stage, yet the other two had advanced by a whole realm.

“Alright! Be careful. If the situation is dangerous, be ready to enter into the Mountain River Diagram at any point,” Cheng Yu did not try to dismiss what they wanted. What Tian Xing said was right. It was impossible for him to protect them forever. They also needed to come out and have some experience in order to grow.

Cheng Yu surveyed the passages. In the end, he picked the middle passage and entered it. The passage was long, but it was made in a form of pattern. The wall beside it was also very flat and did not seem like any of those man-made tunnels. The blue spiritual lamps were placed evenly and distributed properly and extended into the depths of the passage.
