When Yun Lintian saw this scene, he immediately thought of a laser reflection experiment. Obviously, these stone pillars served as mirrors, reflecting the sword beam.
While he was thinking of this, the Heaven Piercing Sword had already arrived at the third pillar. A similar scene appeared once again, confirming Yun Lintian's guess.
Afterward, the Heaven Piercing Sword repeated the same process one after another until all the ninety-stone pillars were arranged perfectly.
Buzz—
Soon, the first stone pillar released a sword beam, and the beam continued to jump from the second to the third until the last. After that, the sword beam from the last pillar went straight into a wall made of gold at the end of the hall, and a passage was slowly revealed before everyone's eyes.
The Heaven Piercing Sword quickly flew back to Yun Lintian and shook slightly as if it was asking for a compliment.
Yun Lintian touched it and said. "Thank you. You're awesome."
The sword was overjoyed and circled around Yun Lintian for a few laps before transforming into the necklace.
Yun Lintian put the necklace on his neck and beckoned everyone. "Let's go."
"Big Brother Yun, wait for a moment." Suddenly, Qingqing jumped over and waved her hand, releasing a terrifying windstorm toward the revealed passage in the distance.
Boom!
In that instant, a lethal sword beam abruptly shot out of the nearby pillars and went straight to the passage. If Yun Lintian and the others walked into the passage just now, they would certainly become meat paste.
Obviously, something was wrong here.
Yun Lintian carefully looked at the stone pillars and discovered something strange at their bases. He saw hidden formations beneath it, which had secretly rotated these pillars, resulting in the earlier scene.
"These formations are very well hidden. They could actually escape my Eyes of Heaven. This is very strange." Yun Lintian frowned deeply. This was similar to the last time Yun Lintian failed to see the trap, even though he scanned the place several times. What was going on here?
Yun Lintian was someone who studied the ultimate profound art, Myriad Formations Scripture. He didn't believe there was someone better than him, at least in this world.
"Look at it again." Hongyue's voice suddenly resounded.
Yun Lintian subconsciously glanced at the formation and discovered it had already disappeared without a trace.
"What is this?" He was confused.
"I doubted it before, but it's clear now," Hongyue explained. "The main attribute of the Labyrinth Formation is the spatial element. Whoever created this trap is clearly taking advantage of it."
Before Hongyue could explain everything, Yun Lintian seemed to understand it now.
"You are saying this person has mastered the timing of the Labyrinth Formation?" Yun Lintian said.
"Correct," Hongyue responded. "The last time when your position was about to change, the Labyrinth Formation was activated, and the trap timely appeared."
"Similarly, this time, the passage leads to the next position has appeared and triggered the Labyrinth Formation, allowing these formations under the pillars to appear."
She paused briefly and said. "I really want to know how he mastered it."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. "If the person who did this was Xing Chen, I guess there should be somewhat ancient records about it inside the Star Gazing Palace. After all, they owe the Star Pavilion. They could have bought all the information about this place during these thousands of years."
As Yun Lintian said before, the Labyrinth Formation wasn't invincible. It had a certain pattern. As long as one had enough time, one could figure the pattern out, including the timing.
"This made me curious. No one has ever figured it out before?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.
The Golden Mountain was created by the Beyond Heaven King later, and it was used as a fortress to trap the enemy. Undoubtedly, it should be an extended period—long enough for people to figure the pattern out.
"What if I told you the battle here ended within a month?" Hongyue said.
"A month?" Yun Lintian was taken aback. In his opinion, the battle between the top powerhouses would definitely last for a long period. Why did it end so quickly?
"Then, the enemy must be overwhelmingly powerful." He said further. When the young girl told the enemy was powerful previously, he thought that they were a half-level better. However, it wasn't the case now.
"Yes," Hongyue said as her eyes flashed with killing intent.
Yun Lintian wanted to ask further about the enemy, but he knew Hongyue wouldn't tell him. He could only stop here.
"Well, let's go." He took a deep breath and adjusted the pillars again before safely bringing everyone into the passage.
***
While Yun Lintian was stepping into the passage, Xing Chen and Lan Cao stood inside a vast hall made of heavenly materials they couldn't recognize.
The hall resembled a king's palace, with a red carpet at the center all the way to the entrance, and several massive pillars could be seen on both sides.
At the end of the hall, a majestic throne stood tall, releasing an imposing aura, causing Xing Chen and Lan Cao to involuntarily tremble occasionally.
The two had arrived in this place several days ago and couldn't find anything particular here, including the passage to the next stage.
"Maybe we should go back to the old path." Lan Cao said.
Xing Chen shook his head. "The maze formation doesn't seem to exist here. There must be something in this place."
He had touched everything here, whether the throne, pillars, or tiles, but there was no reaction. However, he didn't believe this hall was an ordinary hall without any mechanism.
Xing Chen paced around the place while racking his brain up. His eyes were fixated on the throne all the time. If there was anything special here, it must be the throne.
"The throne… The throne is made for a king… A king…?" Suddenly, a strange light flashed through Xing Chen's eyes as he seemed to think of something.
He quickly walked to the area before the throne and beckoned Lan Cao to come over. "Follow me."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on one knee and said loudly. "Long live the king!"
Lan Cao didn't know what was going on. He quickly followed suit. "Long live the king!"
Rumble—
All of a sudden, the throne shook, and an illusory figure of an old man appeared on it.
