Chapter 15
“What is this place?”
Chen Yang opened his eyes. It was pitch black in front of him, and only a few Night-Luminescent Pearls were embedded in the stone wall, providing faint light.
With the faint light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, Chen Yang could tell that this place seems to be a cave.
I was clearly blown to the peak by the python. Why am I here?
“Everyone, wake up.” Chen Yang, who felt that this place was not simple, quickly woke everyone up.
These people were also shocked by the scene in front of them. They could not understand why they were here.
However, Chen Xuan had a guess. “Family Head, we seem to have entered a maze.”
“A maze?” Chen Yang looked around. “Does First Elder mean that this place is fake?”
“But I feel that all of this is true.” As he spoke, Chen Yang even patted the stone wall embedded with the Night-Luminescent Pearls.
“Family Head, there’s something you don’t know. A maze that disrupts people’s vision and gives them hallucinations is just a simple maze. A truly powerful maze has the ability to change the realities.”
“I once heard from the Patriarch that according to the ancient books of the Beastmaster Sect, there is a kind of maze that looks no different from the outside world. The people inside the maze can even communicate with the people outside.
But in fact, this maze is something else.”
“Martial artists need to enter the maze at a specific location and follow a specific pace. In this maze, space is compressed together.”
“In a nutshell, one step inside a maze like this could mean miles outside.”
“If I’m not wrong, we entered the interior of this giant peak through that kind of maze,” said the First Elder.
Hearing the First Elder’s words, Chen Yang nodded. “What the First Elder means is that we can enter the mountain through the maze.”
“That’s true. Even if it’s a demon beast at the Demon Venerable level, it’s not something we can catch up to.”
“I was still a little curious about why that demon beast has not caught up to us. It turns out that we unknowingly entered the maze.”
“Family Head is right. It’s also because of this maze that we survived.” The First Elder sighed.
“Who on earth set up such a powerful maze in the Endless Mountains?”
Chen Yang was confused. A maze of this level could not be set up casually.
Could it be that there was some treasure here that required the expert to spend so much effort to cover up?
“Forget it. Let’s go in and find out.”
Immediately, Chen Yang led the Chen family into the cave with the help of the Night-Luminescent Pearls.
There was no sun or moon in the cave, so there was naturally no concept of time.
After walking along the dark cave for an unknown period of time, Chen Yang and the others finally found a ray of light.
“Be careful, everyone. There might be something hidden here.”
After reminding everyone, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan looked at each other and walked towards the light at the same time.
Only after the two of them left the cave did they find out the source of the light.
This was a huge hemispherical space with a radius of about ten miles.
Above the dome, a moth about a thousand meters tall floated. Although its wings did not move, they kept emitting a blazing fire.
On the ground were courtyards These courtyards looked messy, but from above, they looked like some kind of array formation.
“What’s that?”
Chen Yang immediately saw the huge moth on the dome. A thousand-meter beast. Not to mention Maple City, even the Great Qian Dynasty had never heard of it.
“I don’t know either.” Chen Xuan’s jaw dropped. This huge beast not only exceeded Chen Yang’s imagination, but also his understanding.
“So what should we do now?”
Stuck at the exit of the cave, Chen Yang did not know whether to advance or retreat.
“Why don’t we leave?” Chen Xuan glanced at the moth and swallowed, thinking of retreating.
“Alright, let’s leave then.” Chen Yang did not want to lose his life because of the treasure. Although the treasure was good, he had to be alive to enjoy it.
Immediately, Chen Yang waved his hand and quietly retreated into the cave.
“Cultivator, since you’re here, why are you leaving?” At this moment, a light voice suddenly sounded.
“Who is it?” In an instant, Chen Yang and the others shivered and looked at the underground cave with fear.
“Me.”
Chen Yang looked up and saw the light blue eyes of the giant moth on the dome.
“Demon beasts can… can speak?”
“Nonsense. When a demon beast grows to a certain level, it will naturally speak. You haven’t answered my question. Since you’re here, why are you leaving?” The giant moth blinked, and its beast eyes revealed a playful look.
Hearing the giant moth’s words, Chen Yang’s forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. Oh no, this demon beast was probably an old demon. How could he escape now?
With the giant moth forcing him, Chen Yang could only brace himself and say, “We didn’t mean to barge into Senior’s resting place. Senior, please forgive us.”
“I didn’t say I blamed you guys. Again, why leave when you’re already here?”
“It’s… it’s because we’re too weak to bear the legacy of this place.” Chen Yang was worried about how to answer when he suddenly glanced at the courtyard below and immediately had an idea.
“You know yourself. Unfortunately, since you’re here, there are only two answers. One is to become the heir to this place. The other is to die!”
This light voice entered the ears of Chen Yang and the others like the sound of hell. No one doubted the words of the giant moth. Such a huge beast could kill them as easily as crushing an ant.
“Alright, Senior. I’m willing to accept the test and become the successor.” The moment the giant moth finished speaking, Chen Yang quickly agreed.
It was so fast that the giant moth was stunned for a moment. After a while, a light voice sounded again.
“Good. From today onwards, you are the new successor of the Yang Sect.”
Chen Yang: ???
‘That easy, that sloppy?’
As if seeing Chen Yang’s confusion, the giant moth slowly said, “I’ve been here for too long. I just want to get out now, no matter the price.”
“Then why can’t I use the loophole in the oath to seek benefits for myself?”
“Anyway, I’m the one who decides if you’re qualified. If I say you’re qualified, you’re qualified. It doesn’t matter who comes.”
The giant moth seemed to recall some bad memory, and its entire body trembled with anger.
As a result, the entire dome seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, a blue light screen protected the dome from collapsing.
“Senior, now that I’ve become the successor, can you leave?” Chen Yang couldn’t wait for this fellow to leave.
“Not yet. I still need you to receive all the legacies of this Yang Sect before I can leave.” The giant moth shook its head.
