Three masters joined forces, and in an instant, a teleportation array appeared in mid-air on this mountain peak.

  This was the first time Mo Tian Ge had seen a transmission array. Although she studied array techniques, creating an entire transmission array was on a scale that wasn't much smaller than the protective mountain array, and her current attainments in array techniques were far from sufficient. Before her eyes, the circular transmission array was filled with profound cloud patterns, and even had spirit stones embedded within it. The entire array shone brightly, emitting a mysterious aura.

  She stared at the transmission array with an unchanging expression, pondering its meaning. All arrays are based on the interpretation of the eight trigrams and yin-yang five elements of heaven and earth, but the complex patterns of the eight trigrams in front of her were incomprehensible for a moment. Mo Tian Ge let out a sigh, not because she wasn't skilled enough in array techniques, but some things weren't something she could understand at her current level, or maybe even after advancing to the foundation building stage, or even after forming the elixir embryo.

  The formation was activated, and the disciples rushed to transmit it. If it weren't for the seniors of the sect being present, there might have been some conflicts. After a moment, it was finally their group's turn. A white light flashed, and the five people disappeared into the transmission array.

  The surroundings darkened, and Mo Tian Ge opened his eyes, unable to help but feel astonished. What kind of place was this?

  Others also opened their eyes and observed their surroundings, frowning tightly.

  They were in a place surrounded by rocky walls, with long and narrow passages that seemed like some sort of cave.

  "Where is this?" Xujing asked while looking around, "We won't be transported to some spiritual beast's lair, will we?"

  As soon as this was said, the others' faces changed. Indeed, these surroundings are quite like a certain cave, and it's possible that it's where the spiritual beast resides. If so, they've really hit the jackpot - no need to encounter disciples from the other two sects, this spiritual beast will be enough to make them suffer.

  Liu Yidao calmed down and said, "Xu Shidi is right, we should be careful."

  The five of them observed for a moment, chose a direction, summoned their spiritual instruments or defensive spells, and proceeded with caution.

  It was just a cave of some unknown spiritual beast, with many forks in all directions. The five people walked around, bypassing several dead ends, but couldn't find the exit, nor did they encounter any spiritual beasts. Gradually, they became lost, and this cave was like a maze. No matter where they went, there was no change in their surroundings, even the patterns on the rock walls were exactly the same.

  After walking for nearly half an hour, everyone finally couldn't help but speak up. Xu Jingzhi was the first to say, "This way, we can't get out at all!" Even Jiang Shanghang had a look of impatience on his face, and Mo Tian Ge also felt a bit annoyed in her heart. It was really because the scenery remained unchanged, making people feel bored.

  Liu Yidao sank into deep thought for a long time before saying, "If not, then we'll split up and search for the road?"

  "This... " Several people hesitated, if they split up, what would happen if they encountered a spiritual beast?

  "Let's split up then." Mo Tian Ge finally made up his mind and said, "We don't even know if this is really a spiritual beast's lair or just an underground limestone cave. If we keep going around like this, who knows when we'll finish? It's better to split up and explore separately."

  "Yes," Xujing Zhi also said, "I agree with Ye Shidi, even if we really encounter some danger, let's just consider it as our coming out to see the world, and there won't be any loss."

  Since everyone didn't object, Liu Yidao said: "In that case, are we going to split into two paths or three? Splitting into two paths might be safer, but splitting into three paths will allow us to find it faster."

  Qin Xidao said: "Since we've decided to split up, let's divide into three routes."

  "Alright, if we split into three routes, I'll take one route alone. Jiang Shidi and Qin Shidi, you two can each bring a junior brother to be in charge of one route." Liu Yidao made this arrangement because among the five of them, he, Jiang Shanghang, and Qin Xī were all at the tenth level of Qi refinement, while Xu Jingzhi and Mo Tiange were both at the eighth level. This way, the strength of each route would be roughly equal, and they wouldn't be too quick to retreat in case of danger. He himself was taking one route alone, which could be said to be the most disadvantageous, so no one else had any objections.

  "Thank you, Master Liu." Qin Xi thanked him and turned to Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhi, "Which of the two fellow disciples will travel with me?"

  Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhi exchanged a glance, Xu Jing Zhi said: "Ye Shidi, you go with Qin Shixiong, I'll go with Jiang Shixiong." As he spoke, he winked at her. Mo Tian Ge understood his meaning, last time she saved Jiang Shang Hang but he didn't even show gratitude, Xu Jing Zhi knew she disliked Jiang Shang Hang, so he let her go with Qin Xi.

  Mo Tian Ge also knew that Xu Jing Zhi's relationship with Jiang Shang Hang was better than hers, so she didn't decline either. She nodded: "Okay."

  The five of them split into groups and set off in their respective directions.

  The road was still like a maze, with the unchanging rock walls. Mo Tian Ge followed Qin Xi for a while, during which there were several dead ends, and he made marks according to the previous method, but still nothing worked.

  It was only half a short time, and Mo Tian Ge was getting impatient. She became more and more certain that this wasn't some spiritual beast's lair at all, but rather a maze array set up by the seniors of the three sects, because spiritual beasts simply didn't have the ability to create such a maze-like effect, in which even direction couldn't be distinguished.

  At this moment, Qin Xi suddenly turned his head and glanced at her: "Ye Shidi, hold on to your heart."

  A song from a distant sky, and I suddenly realized that my emotions were about to get the better of me. My heart was startled, and I quickly focused on my breath, only then did I feel clear-headed again. I couldn't help but feel a wave of gratitude: "Thanks for reminding me, senior brother." It seems this labyrinth isn't as simple as it looks. Being in here can make one's emotions unstable without even realizing it, which would make it easy to make mistakes when faced with danger. What exactly is this thing?

  Qin Xi carefully looked around at the surrounding rock walls and asked: "Does Leaf disciple understand the way of array methods?"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded: "I know a thing or two."

  "Doesn't this look like an array?"

  Mo Tian Ge had always thought so, and now he said: "Not bad, this place is all the same everywhere, it seems that you can't walk to the end, very much like a maze. However, if this is an array, the person who set up the array must have a cultivation level above foundation building, as far as I know, it's difficult to crack."

  Qin Xi did not lose hope and said, "I have indeed heard before that the Misty Valley was not a place for trials in the past, but rather a closed-off area for seniors of our sect. Perhaps this is an array left behind by those seniors."

  "Oh?" Mo Tian Ge heard it for the first time and asked in surprise, "Qin Shixiong, where did you hear this from?"

  Qin Xidao said, "It was a master uncle from the North Peak who said that. I only heard him mention it. However, because the spiritual pulse here has been getting worse and the fog has been getting thicker, fewer and fewer people came. Later, the three factions found this valley again in search of a place to compete."

  "So they must have carefully investigated when choosing the location for the trial, so why is this formation still here?"

  "It may be too hidden, or maybe they think this formation can serve as a trial."

  This is possible. Mo Tian Ge didn't say anything else and continued to carefully explore with Qin Xi step by step. Even if it's a high-level cultivator's formation, there must be an array eye; as long as they find it, it will be easy to get out.
