Chapter 1162: The Cradle of Mazes

"Why are you here?"

After Cecilia could calm down, she looked a little panicked when she shoved him away and asked skeptically.

Shang Ying Yue’s eyes became placid once again. She was also checking him.

Whether it was Cecilia or Shang Ying Yue, they had no affection for Shi Yan. They acted like that because they just needed someone to show up when they were on the edge of being collapsed in any minute. Shi Yan arrived when they needed someone the most and gave them the gate to vent out their emotions. That’s why they couldn’t control themselves.

After they had calmed down, they quietly got some distance from Shi Yan. However, it didn’t distract them from getting to know how he had descended from the sky like that.

"Well, I heard someone cursing me, eh?" Shi Yan smiled oddly and raked his eyes through Cecilia. He appraised the woman’s beauty inwardly and then said, "If I’m not wrong, you’re the who one had cursed me."

"Yes, it’s me!" Cecilia gave him a charming smile.

Her curvy body swayed, her round breasts bouncing. Just a look and people would want their mind sinking in there.

Although she wasn’t as delicate and stunning as Shang Ying Yue, she had the advantages of a mature, sexy woman. She was like the attractive, deep lake that could capture people’s souls and confine them in there.

"How could you come here all of a sudden like that?" Shang Ying Yue was also astounded. She furrowed her bold brown and muttered, "As far as I know, nobody could use the Soul Consciousness in the Center. You... I don’t think you could use your Soul Consciousness to seek us. Right?"

"Right. My Soul Consciousness is bound in this area too." Shi Yan’s face became earnest. "Aside from me, the same happened to Haig and Audrey. Nobody could continue using the Soul Consciousness to check out the dangers in advance."

"So then... how could you..."

"I told you, I heard you guys calling for me."

"Hmm."

Cecilia let out a low cry, her face different. "Well, we were... actually talking about him. Did he hear that too?"

Shang Ying Yue knitted her brows, sinking into her thoughts. She didn’t say anything. After a long time, she lifted her head and watched the holy mountain far from them, squinting and mumbling. "Is it because of it?"

Shi Yan was shaken.

"It’s true then," Shang Ying Yue slightly quivered, her face stiff as she spoke bitterly, "I don’t know if you’re the luckiest guy or the guy who has the worst luck. I don’t know if it pays attention to you first..."

"So you know something about Desolate?" Shi Yan asked in astonishment.

"I know something, but not in detail." Shang Ying Yue nodded and added, "My father told me."

"What are you talking about?" Cecilia felt like she was walking in a mist without seeing the border. She couldn’t help but scream. "Can you please be more transparent? I don’t understand."

"I used to hear from my father that Desolate would choose someone it finds interesting to pay... close attention to. However, the one it has paid attention to was going to die pretty soon." Shang Ying Yue’s bright eyes looked a little nervous. "Not many people could survive to the end. Most of them would perish. Both soul and body. In this planet, Desolate is the sole God."

"So, are you saying that Shi Yan would... die soon?" Cecilia’s charming face paled quickly.

"Yeah, if nothing unexpected happens," Shang Ying Yue lowered her head.

Cecilia could see the sadness on her face. She felt her heart sinking. She felt bitter and upset as when something she liked was smashed before she could get it. It irritated her a lot...

"It’s just like a test. Nothing to worry about," Shi Yan said with a stern face. He seemed to not mind it at all. "I can see that your condition isn’t really good."

"We’ve been confined here for an unknown but long time. This damn place is scorching hot. The sandstorm can run directly into your brain. If you don’t use the God power to defend, your host soul will be blown away. It’s not easy for us to resist for a long time," jabbered Cecilia.

"Why didn’t you get out?" Shi Yan asked and looked at Shang Ying Yue this time.

"It must be a natural, peculiar formation. We couldn’t find the solution. That’s why we’re here until now," said Shang Ying Yue.

"Let me see if I can find a solution," nodded Shi Yan.

He stroked the Fantasy Sky Ring. A hazy halo glowed. The Sky-breaking Shuttle emerged, shining and spinning in front of him.

"Can you break this maze?" He used the soul to talk to the shuttle.

"Maze... Is it a maze..."

The Sky-breaking Shuttle sent him a soul message with unnatural pauses. After a long time, it swarmed him with soul messages. "It’s... it’s a peculiar natural maze. It has the most primal structure. Oh gosh, where are you?"

The Sky-breaking Shuttle came from Grace Mainland. It was made by some psychopath blacksmith a long time ago. Shi Yan had an amazing attainment on blacksmithing himself. He could even forge divine weapons, but he still hadn’t solved the mysteries of the Sky-breaking Shuttle yet. He didn’t know how that blacksmith had refined the shuttle, which made it the nemesis of all the barriers and restrictions. Its power was unimaginably strong.

Each ancient continent had its own mysteries and many things that didn’t go along with natural orders. As Grace Mainland was one of the ancient continents that had existed for billions of years, it wasn’t strange if it had something peculiar.

"Why did you say that?" Shi Yan was surprised.

The Sky-breaking Shuttle has the Tool Spirit, which was created by a magical and unique technique. Perhaps a strange encounter or something had derived from that blacksmith’s soul and evolved to form the Tool Spirit. This Spirit had the knowledge of that blacksmith of strange things in this world.

After this little guy had gotten out of the Fantasy Sky Ring, it tried to sense the surroundings. Right after that, it became thrilled and it made Shi Yan more confident. Since this place was Desolate, a place that looked nothing similar to anywhere else, if the Tool Spirit couldn’t find anything, Shi Yan would disdain it.

"I don’t know where it is, but I know what this maze means..." the Tool Spirit was restless. Sometimes, it was strong while at other time it was feeble. "Okay, let me explain like this. Every strange formation or maze in the world is a derivation of this place. This is the cradle of all mysterious formations. It’s the primary school for creatures to understand strange mazes or formations. Do you get it?"

Shi Yan was stunned like a wooden chicken.

After a while, he tried to probe. "You said that... the reason why the races could create the mazes or the illusionary formations is that they have observed this maze? Without this place, there would be no countless derivations of mazes and formations in this world?"

"Yes, that’s it!"

Shi Yan felt his brain was exploding grumblingly. Eventually, he had a more visual understanding of Desolate. This planet was much more mysterious than he had thought!

Among the five ancient continents in this cosmos, Grace Mainland, God-bless Mainland, Ancient God Continent, and Ancient Demon Continent that had given birth to the Heavenly Monster Tribe, the Imperial Dark Tribe, the God Clan, and the Immortal Demon Clan respectively. They were the cradles of all creatures. They had made the Great Four Creatures the overlords of this universe or the official master of earth and heaven...

And the fountainhead of maze appearing on Desolate was perhaps the fountainhead of many other strange formations in this area. It represented the application of powers Upanishad and it was a unique area in this world. If the warriors could break the mysteries of this place, would they have a much deeper knowledge of the applied powers Upanishads?

As soon as this thought emerged, he was so excited as if he had just found a new direction.

However, the power Upanishad that used the maze wasn’t his thing or suitable for him. He immediately asked the Sky-breaking Shuttle, "Can you bring us out of here?"

"Very tough, but I can try. I’m not sure how much energy I’ll need. Perhaps, I have to draw all of your energy. Hmm, there’s another solution. You can break the mysteries of the maze yourself," said the Tool Spirit.

Shi Yan was hesitant.

He suddenly remembered what Shang Ying Yue had told him. The ancient continent had different deathtraps and forbidden areas with different powers Upanishads. If he could break the mysteries of someplace that had the same aura as his power Upanishad, he could reach a new, subtle realm that would facilitate his next breakthrough...

As he was in the fountainhead of the maze, if someone cultivated such power were here, he or she could reach a new realm after breaking this maze. However, apparently, Shi Yan, Cecilia, and Shang Ying Yue weren’t this sort of warriors. Otherwise, they weren’t sinking deep into this situation.

He looked at Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue, pondering for a while, "I’m going to send you energy. Let’s break this place!"

"You’d better prepare. This area isn’t similar to any place I’ve known. I’m not really confident. I don’t know if I can break it or not, neither. And I don’t know how much of your energy I will take. I can only tell you that when I begin, you have to pump your energy to me unceasingly..." said the Tool Spirit seriously. It seemed not confident at all.

"Okay!" Shi Yan agreed.

Right after that, he told Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue to ask them to guard him. He sat down cross-legged and moved his soul altar to connect his powers Upanishads. He urged the God power from the Ancient Tree in his body. Energy shot out from him like a massive column.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Starlight bloomed out from him and congregated in the Sky-breaking Shuttle. Shortly. The Sky-breaking Shuttle had taken in the abundant, immense God power.

Cracking sounds echoed from the Sky-breaking Shuttle. Sharp rainbow lights were condensed and intertwined with each other. Slowly, they created an intense light column that shot towards the horizon of the desert. It wanted to pierce through the sky and forcefully make an exit.

The veins in Shi Yan’s body felt like they were carrying boiling flood. The ruthless energy burst out from his body like an angry dragon.

The Sky-breaking Shuttle exploded grumblingly as if had to bear so much energy, but it was actually making good progress...

All of a sudden, a large amount of sand and gravel on the dry, scorching the desert, twirling up into the sky, and creating a giant sand hand and squeezing that light column hitting the sky. Then, it angrily tore the light column apart!

Swoosh!

The light column from the Sky-breaking Shuttle was shattered. I turned into countless transparent pieces. Ear-piercing shrieks came out from the Sky-breaking Shuttle when it was fragmented.
