Chapter 796 - The God Discarding Maze

Through that door, Qin Wushuang walked to the inside of the ruins. However, although the structure of these ruins were densely placed, they were leaning unsteadily from side to side. Clearly, they had only became this crushed after going through a great war.

Qin Wushuang walked for three or four times around the inside and outside of this group of buildings, yet he gained nothing. He was disappointed that there was not the slightest life force within this place. The only thing he could sense was defeated spirit and hope.

On the other hand, within this place, each pillar, each wall, and each sculpture had fantastic portraits and scriptures as descriptions. They were full of wonder and imagination.

As Qin Wushuang looked at the scene before him, he thought, “Before this crushed state, this place must have been an illustrious place. Only, without the support of the spiritual Qi, this entire palace seems to have lost the body of its divine soul, without the slightest traces of life. If an elite warrior were to use their great divine skill to re-model it, connect the spiritual lines, and wash away the unfortunate presence, certainly it would regain a brilliant life force once again…”

Of course, everything seemed to not relate with Qin Wushuang.

Now, he needed to find the exit. Per his speculation, this exit should be something like the transport channel he experience before. Or else, when this place had been this far from the outside world, ordinary channels would be incapable of passing through that wild space chaotic air flow.

Walking out of the palace, Qin Wushuang stepped onto the stone stairs that kept extending layer after layer, he was in an incredibly complicated mood.

Each detail of this palace showcased its age and exhibited its complicated history to Qin Wushuang.

This made Qin Wushuang somewhat confused for just where was he wandering around?

These stone stairs went on continuously and appeared to be about a few thousand steps long. When he walked halfway, there appeared a giant platform. This platform made a turn and there appeared more of the winding staircase that kept extending down.

Qin Wushuang stepped onto the stone platform and just when he was about to raise one of his feet, suddenly there was a surge of movement from his internal spiritual Qi. Initially, his body did not have any reaction, yet it suddenly became active. Five surges of air flow moved almost at the same time.

“Hm? What’s going on?”

Qin Wushuang was slightly stunned and he looked down. He saw a circular mirage appear all of a sudden on the platform beneath his feet. This mirage appeared to be in the shape of yin and yang where five attributes appeared in the middle of it.

Five bursts of different lights cut the entire circle into five circular sectors to emit five different lights. When this light flowed, it shone up high like a flame and formed some sort of communication with the airflow inside Qin Wushuang’s body.

Qin Wushuang was greatly astonished. Since entering this pile of ruins, this was the first time he was experiencing powerful movements of air.

Compared to the lifeless atmosphere of that palace, the area he was stepping on seemed to be a special area that was filled with spiritual movements.

For a place without spiritual Qi movements, it would have been impossible to have found it even if Qin Wushuang wanted to with his spiritual perception. And when he caught the spiritual Qi movements at this place, how could he miss it?

He activated his power and started to communicate with this magical area.

Instantly, a Supreme Dao presence began circulating through his perception. The land beneath Qin Wushuang’s feet immediately shone with matchless enchanting lights as if a giant piece of ground was about to collapse.

“Boom!”

A burst of powerful light dashed out and the ground brooke free.. This burst of five colored light pulled Qin Wushuang directly into an unknown abyss.

This time, there were no disordered space air flow. Soon, Qin Wushuang landed on both feet.

An enormous space appeared before Qin Wushuang. Inside this space was full of bones of the dead that lay in disordered positions. However, they appeared to have died peacefully and could not be counted as a miserable death.

The air-dried corpses could not allow one to distinguish the expression they had before their death. However, he could see that these people did not seem to have experienced bitter fight from how they died.

Qin Wushuang looked around and saw this space appeared to be extremely expansive. All around was bejeweled where swords, spears, and halberd weapons lay on weapon shelves.

Qin Wushuang did not touch these weapons. Instead, he called out a spiritual beast and asked, “Jade Hare, feel this place, is there any poisonous formations?”

The Moon Palace Jade Hare was an expert at using poison. Through perceiving their surroundings, instantly his expression became grave. “Master, there is no poisonous formations in this space. However, poison marks all those weapons and those treasures. They appear incredibly hidden and can only be done by elite warriors that specialize in using poison.”

“Is it possible to get rid of it?” Qin Wushuang asked.

Moon Palace Jade Hare blushed with shame. “Master, I don’t possess enough power. For this poison, unless I enter the Supreme Dao Stage, I would not dare to touch it. Even for those at the Supreme Dao Stage, when touching this poison, it will definitely invade the divine soul due to its formidable power. Master, you better not be longing after these weapons.”

Qin Wushuang nodded secretly. “Good one, indeed this is a giant trap. Just where is this devilish place? Although these Supreme Dao weapons look pretty, I must not be greedy.”

Moon Palace Jade Hare nodded and said, “Master, you are truly clear-headed to not have touched these weapons beforehand.”

“I kept an extra conscience mind when I saw the strange way of how these people died. It seems that the danger of this place depended on this poison.”

The Moon Palace Jade Hare asked curiously, “Master, just what is this place? How come I sense a very ancient presence, could this be historic relics for a Multitude of Gods?”

“Multitude of Gods?” It was the first time Qin Wushuang heard this name.

“There is a Multitude of Gods era during the ancient time of the Tian Xuan Land. The Multitude of Gods experienced a war that extinguished the world. After that, we have the new structure of the Tian Xuan Land formed in tens and thousands of years after. The world was also divided into five great Forbidden Spiritual Zones. Many of the historic relics of the Multitude of Gods were hidden deeply and became unsolved mysteries at the Tian Xuan Land. Could this place be a place holding these historic relics?”

Qin Wushuang said with a bitter smile, “Honestly, I don’t know what this place is.”

“You are a person with great fortune, regardless of where you are, you could certainly turn this into a great opportunity.” Moon Palace Jade Hare comforted him.

Qin Wushuang laughed. “Let’s walk and see. If the gods do not kill me, surely we will find a way out.”

After he wandered around in this giant space, suddenly Qin Wushuang’s eyes lit up when he walked to the center area. It was because he clearly saw an incredibly familiar detail.

That was the stone formation and the symbols, the pattern of the formation.

Qin Wushuang had clearly seen such things at the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation before. It was exactly as those transportation stone formations. Qin Wushuang was overjoyed at the turn of events.

He sat down cross-legged and induced his Supreme Dao power to start communicating with this formation. Since this formation was seemingly familiar, Qin Wushuang was able to activate it with little effort.

An ancient voice emerged, “Adventurers, welcome to the first level of the God Discarding Maze, the Scattering Throne Hall. Next level, the Devil Shrine.”

“God Discarding Maze?” A trace of doubt emerged in Qin Wushuang’s mind. What was this God Discarding Maze? Just when he was confused, the voice sounded again, “For those who want to enter the next level, please stop if you are not at the Sixth Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage. If not, you will die. For those at the Sixth Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage, you must not make your way forcefully if you do not have Third Calamity of Transformation Supreme Dao Stage to open the path. Or else, when the transportation formation does not receive enough energy, it will transport you directly into the space crack, swallowing you without a trace.”

“What? The first level requires you to be at the Sixth Calamity of Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage? This is the bottom-line to stay alive? Without the Third Calamity of Transformation Supreme Dao Stage to activate the formation to shield, I can also not go. It seems that this God Discarding Maze is rather strange, and not an ordinary place.”

Qin Wushuang felt even more curious. However, he was joyful inwardly. He did not mind when he could not go to the next level. The problem was, since he could go to the next level, at least it proved that there must be a transportation channel to reach this place. Or else, how could he enter this level without a cause?

Thinking here, Qin Wushuang became excited immediately.

Indeed, that voice said again, “When you came to this place, you cannot turn back easily. To go back, you must also have the power at the Third Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage to activate the formation entrance. Or else, the transportation channel orbit will diverge and enter a disordered space air wave. You will get swallowed merciless.”

Upon hearing about the Third Calamity of Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, Qin Wushuang let out a bitter smile. However, now he gained a complete understanding of his situation. The situation was already straightforward. To get out, he must reach the Third Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao Stage to ensure this transportation channel would not go wrong. It would only guarantee him to leave this place safely to reach the entrance.

Although he did not know where that entrance was located, it must be a safe place.

Qin Wushuang looked around and gave a long sigh. “It seems that I must stay at this place for a while. Fortunately, I did get some clues in the end. Regardless, I must improve my training to that level.”

Qin Wushuang calculated that it was already less than a year since he came to the Endless Eastern Sea. He still had more than fifteen years before the Heavenly Emperor election.

Although the situation of the Qin Clan was deeply worrying, it was useless for him to feel worried at his current circumstance.

He could only strive to reach the Third Calamity of Transformation Supreme Dao as soon as possible. Only in this way could he ensure a safe leave. Thinking here, Qin Wushuang was free of any doubts.

Training was something he always excelled at. In terms of training speed, Qin Wushuang would not be unduly humble. It had only been less than ten years ago since he stepped onto the path of martial arts. He was already at the Third Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage. This was the result where he deliberately suppressed the explosion of his divine power.

If he were to release his divine power at will, certainly he could obtain all three intermediate calamities of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage. The other steps would not pose a big problem.

Now, he was considering more about the three major calamities.

To someone almost completing the spiritual wood essence training, he could directly ignore the first sixth calamities. Even for the three great calamities, the degree of danger would only be one third or half of the amount that other martial artists would experience.

It could be said that the opportunity and circumstances placed before Qin Wushuang were extremely superior.

It would depend on him whether he could train to the Third Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage in less than fifteen years.

Speculating with Qin Wushuang’s own condition and ability, this would be a difficult challenge. However, it was definitely not unattainable.

Of course, Qin Wushuang was to not just train his own strength. Currently, with everything ready, he decided to craft the Golem Puppet. He caught He Ziniu’s divine soul and caught eight divine souls later at the Hibiscus Forest. These were all first-tier goods. Combined with the divine venomous puppet technique, he could completely train nine great Golem puppets to gain independent consciousnesses and to obey every one of his commands.
