40 Chapter 40: The Eternal Maze! (1/2)

What do you mean take care?

We are here away from danger while you yourself will enter the eternal maze! It isyou who should take care instead!

Hais.. that brat!

”Alright, let us leave! I dare not linger around this place for too long now!” said the principal as both Wang Guozhi and Ling Yu nodded.

Somehow, perhaps due to their realm, they are much more sensitive towards the intricate fluctuations of the mystical elements in their surrounding. This cave was giving off the kind of vibes that their instinct couldn't understand. Thus, it would be better for them to leave if there was nothing else to do.

After all, if the vortex decided to act up all of a sudden and suck them in too, that would be the kind of situation where they can kiss goodbye to their life.

The principal then chanted a teleport spell as their teleport stones glowed brightly, after which they immediately disappeared from where they stood.

Whoosh!

...

Inside the Eternal maze...

Woonggg!

Ohh?

Duan Li raised his left sleeve over his face as the scene in front of him had suddenly turned blindingly bright right after he flew through the vortex.

He halted his flight as he floated mid-air and turned around to look at his surroundings with squinted eyes.

Holy cow!

”Whoa.. is this really the inside of the eternal maze?” said Duan Li looking stumped at what he was seeing.

This is because the inside of the Eternal maze was far beyond his expectations!

To think that an entire ecosystem was present here! From small hills, forests, rivers, to birds and gigantic long neck monsters roaming freely around! The entire area also seemed to be quite vastas it stretches far beyond before he can see a staggering line of long and tall walls that jutted up across the sky marking the end for this region.

In Duan Li's memories, when he was at the pinnacle of the nascent soul realm before when he came here, that region he was in was completely different than this region here.

That place was extremely desolate and full of aura of death that lingers even on the ground itself. Terrible monsters and all sorts of fiendish beings littered practically everywhere as they fought one another to the death. If it was any other person that went there other than him, their little life could be considered as forfeit. But with Duan Li's battle prowess that had already reached the pinnacle of the nascent soul realm, he naturally just threw one big slap towards them all one after another to clear the path straight to the One Hundred Thousand Graveyard lake, almost unhindered.

This is because there were still behemoths and colossal monsters which he dared not provoke. Those kinds of supreme beings in this eternal maze wasn't something a human could beat, at least not before he ascended to the immortal ascension realm anyway.

At that point, even the nine hermit kings had eventually fallen before him, not to mention them.

However, one thing was for sure is that, compared to that chaotic place, this region here could be seen as a paradise instead!

”According to the difficulty for my level, the strongest monsters here should be at the pinnacle stage of the Qi condensation realm... ” thought Duan Li.

Eventhough he knew that he could just spam his fist around like what the principal said before, only savage lunatics would do such a thing. Thus, he decided to sneak around silently and avoid any monsters if he could like a civilized man.

Tiptoeing his way around a few bush, Duan Li squatted down to hide behind them as he spotted a monster five meters away from him. He then took out the monster guide.

Flip!

Flipping through several pages, he finally found a drawing that has similar depictions of the monster in front of him.

”Hmm... this monster here is called the Ankylosaurus... Level 3 of the Qi condensation realm.” Duan Li continued to read its description.

According to the monster guide, the Ankylosaurus is a carnivorous monster with its entire top side being heavily protected with thick, bony and oval plates embedded in its leathery skin that form an armor coating. It has a club-like tail which it uses to defend itself against predators. However, the Akylosaurus gets intimidated very easily and will run away once it senses threat.

”Interesting... It seems that the monster core is located at the end of its tail... ” Duan Li contemplated for awhile as he cupped his chin.

To attack or not?

Its not that he didn't know how beneficial a monster core is for speed cultivating. But each monster cores have their own elemental attributes to them. Furthermore, he has one of those rare body constitution, attributeless.

Back then when he tried to cultivate using these monster cores, his body had rejected all the five great elemental attributes.

These five great elemental attributes are wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and water. Each elements generates interaction to the next one in a cyclical manner. In addition, each element could overcome one another. Wood would overcomes Earth and Earth could overcomes Water. Water would overcomes Fire and Fire could overcomes Metal. Finally, Metal overcomes Wood.

When he discovered that his body would not accept spiritual Qi from any monster cores, he had given up altogether and just practiced the breathing method normally.

However, when he pondered upon it deeply, ever since the moment he encountered that mysterious pearl, his body had undergone many unexpected changes including some bizarre abilities that was added to him.

”Maybe I can cultivate using monster cores now?”

He decided to just find out the hard way. If he could cultivate using the monster core, good. Otherwise, its still fine too as he would not lose anything. Duan Li pointed his index finger forward from inside the bush.

Pew!

BAM!
