Chapter 270: Found It! (1/2)

Cheng Yu inserted the Blue-Heart key into the keyhole with the altar drawings. The drawings lit up in dazzling radiance and the only part that wasn’t lit up were the thirteen symbols located outside of the five areas respectively. Cheng Yu flew towards the blue spiritual lamp and turned each and every one. Among the nine passages, eight shut themselves automatically, leaving behind the rightmost passage. Seeing such a scene, Cheng Yu thought that he had returned to the previous palace’s hall. But he still held onto the small hope he had as he flew up the altar. What he saw caused him to be overjoyed. Because at this very moment, the eastern region’s thirteen symbols had lit up. This showed that the current hall they were at was the second palace hall.

“Let’s go!” Cheng Yu shouted out in joy. With a wave of his hand, he stored them back into the Mountain River Diagram and flew into the passage.

“Senior Brother, are you really that sure that we aren’t in the same palace hall?” Seeing how excited Cheng Yu was, Tian Xing asked curiously.

“Of course,” Cheng Yu replied with a smile.

“How are you able to tell?” Tian Xing enquired. From the start until now, he was still unable to tell any difference between the halls.

“With your IQ, you wouldn’t be able to understand. Therefore, you should stop asking,” “Why does this guy have so many questions? There are like thousands of whys inside his head!”

“Deliberately acting so mystifying!” Tian Xue was also very curious, but she had just thrown a tantrum. So, she felt that it was quite inappropriate for her to ask as she muttered softly.

“…” Cheng Yu smiled without elaborating. But when Tian Xue saw how Cheng Yu had completely ignored her, she got even angrier. The passage was completely safe. There weren’t any demonic beasts. Similarly, within an hour, the Jewel Cauldron exited from the passage.

“Senior Brother, are you sure that we really aren’t standing at the same palace hall?” Arriving at the palace hall, Tian Xing was truly unconvinced that he wasn’t at the exact same palace hall as the previous ones.

“Whether we are or not, you will know soon,” If Cheng Yu still had some suspicions previously, ever since he saw the thirteen symbols lighting up in different areas, he was 100% sure that they were no longer in the same palace hall. Using the exact same method, he inserted the Blue-Heart key into the keyhole and turned the thirteen blue spiritual lamps once. This time, the thirteen symbols at the northern area lit up. And the only remaining passage was rightmost one.

Although Tian Xue and Tian Xing were filled with doubt, neither dared to voice out their doubts. But this was no longer so when they arrived at the next passage. When the western region lit up, there were actually two stone doors that weren’t shut. One was the rightmost while the other was at the center.

“Senior Brother, what should we do now? There’s two passages,” At this very moment, Tian Xing had already turned muddle-headed. He felt that he was being played with.

“Center!” Cheng Yu looked at the drawings on the altar. Now that he had opened up four of the areas, if he was right, the next palace hall should be the central one that was also the last palace hall. Therefore, Cheng Yu chose the middle passage.

“You have something to say?” Cheng Yu asked nonchalantly. When the trio went into the middle passage, Tian Xing stood beside Cheng Yu, and he seemed like he wanted to say something but was hesitating.

“I just want to know. If this continues, can we really leave here alive?” Tian Xing spoke with a face filled with worries.

“Why are you saying so?”

“Senior Brother, we have gone through nine different passages. After that, we went another four times. Now that there’s two passages appearing, if I’m not wrong, the next one should have three passages. You say, we have been opening and shutting the doors and were flying in and out of these passages. Ultimately, they all lead us back to the same palace hall. Do you still feel that we can get out of here alive?” From the start to finish, Tian Xing had always felt that the four palaces they had been to were the same palace. After having travelled for so many rounds, and flying so many times, they were basically going round and round.

“Hehe, do the both of you really have such little confidence in me?” Cheng Yu chuckled. In Cheng Yu’s opinion, this middle passage would definitely lead them to the last palace hall.

“It’s not that we don’t have any confidence in you. It’s that the facts are placed before us. It’s basically hard for us to believe you,” Tian Xing spread out his hands as he spoke.

“Relax. This time, I’m sure we will be able to see what we are searching for,” Cheng Yu understood their thoughts. After all, they had no idea of the true secret behind the palaces. Once again, the Jewel Cauldron exited from the passage.

“Senior Brother, is this what you said, seeing what we have been searching for?” Arriving at the same palace again, Tian Xing was already in utter despair. He started to feel that they would never be able to leave this palace forever.

“Since you are so sure, then let’s make a bet. If I’m able to locate the treasury, your portion will be mine. How about that?” Cheng Yu walked up to the altar as he spoke to Tian Xing.

“This…” Seeing how confident Cheng Yu was, Tian Xing hesitated.

“What? Scared?” Cheng Yu spurred.

“Then…then what if I win?” Being spurred by Cheng Yu, Tian Xing retorted.
