"Wu Hen, how about a bet!"

Yun Tao's eyes shifted, he spoke with a light laugh.

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

Jian Wuheng turned his head to look at Yun Tao.

Yun Tao glanced at Jian Wuheng's storage ring: "If my junior can come out of the valley, you'll give me that Wooden Origin Pearl of yours, but if I lose, I'll give you my Golden Origin Pearl, how about that?"

"Wooden Origin Pearl?"

Jian Wuheng looked at Yun Tao puzzled: "Why do you want the Wooden Origin Pearl? You cultivate the Sword Dao and Earth Path, not the Wood Path."

"That's not for you to worry about, just say if you'll bet or not!"

Yun Tao waved his hand.

"Alright, since you want to gift the Golden Origin Pearl to me, I'll accept it!"

Jian Wuheng spoke with a light laugh, he didn't believe at all that Jiang Chen could pass through the maze formation in the valley.

Inside the valley.

As Jiang Chen stepped into the valley, a thick layer of fog suddenly appeared before his eyes, where he couldn't see his own hand, and Elder Wine-crazed and others watched from outside, clearly seeing Jiang Chen's figure.

"This maze's bewildering force is quite powerful!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his eyes slowly closed, and a wispy aura emanated from his body.

Divine Soul power, infused with the Town Soul Stele's strength, directly covered the entire valley.

Jiang Chen and the others had hurried to Changlin Academy, even using the teleportation arrays, it took them half a month. During this half month, Jiang Chen began refining and comprehending the Town Soul Stele. Although he hadn't yet comprehended the suppressive Great Dao within the Town Soul Stele, he was already able to maneuver some of its power.

Divine Soul power filled the valley, and a phantom shadow appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, the shadow was precisely the full view of the valley, Jiang Chen focused on starting deductions.

Gradually, phantom lines appeared on the shadow and gradually formed into a formation diagram, then the shadow disappeared, leaving only a clean formation diagram!

"Why is he just standing there not moving?"

Outside the valley, Zhang Qian looked at Jiang Chen, standing motionless three meters inside the valley entrance, and couldn't help but question aloud.

"Haha, Yun Tao, thank you for the Golden Origin Pearl!"

Jian Wuheng laughed lightly.

Yun Tao furrowed his brows slightly, turning to look at Elder Wine-crazed. He dared to bet with Jian Wuheng with such confidence partly because Jiang Chen could alter the formation in the Shadowless Sword Emperor's tomb, and partly because Elder Wine-crazed's suggestion that Jiang Chen try to break the formation led him to believe Elder Wine-crazed thought Jiang Chen capable of breaking through this maze.

"Don't look at me, I can't even figure out what this kid is doing."

Elder Wine-crazed glanced at Yun Tao, speaking softly.

"Then, Master, just now you said..."

Yun Tao was taken aback for a moment, speaking with some resentment.

"I only let this kid try to see if he can break through. Did I say he certainly could?"

Elder Wine-crazed laughed lightly, looking at Yun Tao.

Yun Tao's face darkened, he complained: "Master, aren't you setting me up? How could you do this!"

"Haha, Yun Tao, thank you again for your Golden Origin Pearl!"

Jian Wuheng interjected once more, looking playfully at Yun Tao.

Although the Golden Origin Pearl was precious, he wasn't really greedy for it but rather enjoyed seeing Yun Tao frustrated.

"Don't celebrate too soon. Perhaps my junior is just probing the maze, and will soon start breaking through!"

Yun Tao spoke defiantly.

"Yun Tao, the maze is obstructed by the Great Dao, blocking all Divine Soul probing, unless one reaches the Unity Realm Stage, with Divine Sense condensed like substance, otherwise even a Virtual Refinement Realm Divine Sense can't pierce through the block. Do you really believe Jiang Chen's Divine Soul power can traverse the obstruction and probe this maze? Do you believe your own words?"

Jian Wuheng ruthlessly dismantled Yun Tao's bravado.

Yun Tao looked embarrassed, glaring angrily at Jian Wuheng, then turned back to look at Jiang Chen in the valley, hoping for a miracle.

Jian Wuheng smiled slightly, refrained from provoking Yun Tao further, and looked at Jiang Chen standing there, a smile appearing in his eyes. Elder Wine-crazed should be wanting to polish him a bit. From him, you can feel a naturally exuding superior aura, his background should be extraordinary, polishing him will pave the way for future guidance.

At this moment, Jiang Chen didn't know the thoughts of the people outside the valley, if he knew even Elder Wine-crazed and Yun Tao had no confidence in him passing through the maze, it's uncertain what he would think.

In Jiang Chen's mind, there wasn't just a simple formation diagram, but also several bright spots. These spots were the points deduced as the formation eyes within the formation, analyzing them could deduce the formation's core.

Hmm?

Why is one formation eye missing?

Jiang Chen's deduction suddenly hit an obstacle, in a set of formation eyes, one crucial formation eye was missing, causing the formation core to remain hidden and undiscoverable.

Opening his eyes, Jiang Chen looked around, surrounded by dense fog, unable to see anything through the thick white mist.

This formation... is incomplete?

No, is this formation laid out solely relying on one's own formation skills?

Not leveraging the natural formation pattern here? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?!

Jiang Chen considered a possibility, shook his head lightly, and resumed his deductions.

"Oh, that kid opened his eyes, took a glance, and then closed them again?"

At this point, Elder Wine-crazed's expectations had dropped to their lowest. He didn't really expect Jiang Chen to truly break through the maze. Just wanted to see how far Jiang Chen could go, yet Jiang Chen stood there unmoving, leaving Elder Wine-crazed clueless as to what Jiang Chen was doing?

Could it be fear of embarrassment, too afraid to move?

No!

Jiang Chen isn't that type!

Suddenly, Elder Wine-crazed snapped into realization.

He then became even more puzzled.

"Elder Wine-crazed, maybe I should go retrieve Junior Jiang, he might be trapped inside and afraid to act!"

Jian Wuheng spoke softly.

Elder Wine-crazed paused, his brows furrowing slightly, feeling something was off.

Seeing Elder Wine-crazed silent, Jian Wuheng smiled lightly, thinking that Elder Wine-crazed was slightly embarrassed, and stepped towards the valley.

"Wait a moment!"

Elder Wine-crazed suddenly spoke to stop Jian Wuheng.

Jian Wuheng was taken aback, glanced at Elder Wine-crazed in surprise. In his impression, Elder Wine-crazed was a very carefree person, it couldn't be that he was being petty just because Jiang Chen had no results, could it?

"He's moving! But this isn't the route into the valley! What's he doing?"

Zhang Qian suddenly called out softly.

Jian Wuheng turned to look, his expression changed slightly: "He's moving towards the wall? Has he figured out the wall's location and plans to move along it through the valley? This..."

With a light smile, Jian Wuheng shook his head: "He's oversimplified the maze, hasn't he?"

In the valley, Jiang Chen walked with closed eyes to a mountainside. He gently touched the rock face, then turned and walked towards the opposite mountainside.

"He's walking with his eyes closed! What's he trying to do? Finding another mountainside?"

Zhang Qian laughed watching Jiang Chen in the valley, to him, Jiang Chen was like a headless fly wandering aimlessly.
