"No need to go?"
Tuoba Yijian and Tuoba Tianxue looked at Chu Feng.
"Two paths."
"The first is to head toward that mountain peak. But in my opinion, what you gain from that path will be limited."
"The second is this token. In truth, the token is also an entrance, only… you have to open it yourself, and the difficulty will be a bit higher."
"But the rewards will naturally be greater," Chu Feng said.
Tuoba Yijian flicked his wrist, and a compass appeared.
The compass was exquisitely crafted, yet it radiated an ancient aura — not merely from the distant past, but a supreme treasure from the primordial era.
"Is this the compass that allowed him to find that boulder before me?"
Chu Feng could tell at a glance that this item was invaluable, harboring extraordinarily powerful energy — most likely even surpassing his own Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip.
At present, the compass needle wavered uncertainly, swinging between three directions: Chu Feng, Tuoba Yijian, and Tuoba Tianxue.
"This token really is an entrance." Tuoba Yijian's face lit up with delight, and he turned to Chu Feng. "Do you know how to unlock it?"
"You project your consciousness into it. But once you do, that's when the real challenge begins."
"So I'm afraid I won't be much help to you — you'll each have to fight on your own," Chu Feng said.
"Give it a shot. If you figure out the method, don't go in right away — share what you've learned," Tuoba Yijian said.
"I'll do my best. But from what I've observed, if you actually solve it, you'll likely be pulled in directly."
"I'll try my best. If I can avoid going in, I'll avoid it." As he spoke, Chu Feng began studying the token intently.
Before long, his consciousness entered a peculiar space — a labyrinth. His awareness was trapped within it.
Above the labyrinth loomed an enormous spectral image of an incense stick.
The incense was burning. Judging by its rate of combustion, it would be completely spent in exactly one hour.
Either you succeeded, or you failed.
The labyrinth was no simple challenge. Even Chu Feng had failed to escape before the incense burned out.
However, his consciousness returned to his body.
Chu Feng noticed that both Tuoba Yijian and Tuoba Tianxue were staring at the tokens in their hands, frozen in place like statues, not moving a muscle.
It was clear that they had both projected their consciousness into the tokens as well.
Soon, the two of them moved simultaneously.
Tuoba Yijian directly asked Chu Feng, "Did you enter a labyrinth too? And it had a one-hour time limit?"
His words made it obvious — both he and Tuoba Tianxue had entered the same labyrinth.
"Yeah, but I failed," Chu Feng said.
"Doesn't matter that you failed. I failed too, but you can go back in. Share your experience first," Tuoba Yijian said.
"Sure." Chu Feng didn't hold anything back. He immediately set up a barrier formation and sketched out everything he had observed in the labyrinth.
Moreover, he shared the routes he believed were correct.
"That's not right — how come our labyrinths are different?" Upon seeing what Chu Feng had drawn, Tuoba Yijian furrowed his brow.
*Buzz—*
At that moment, Tuoba Tianxue released her martial power and used it to construct a labyrinth formation.
The formation was incomplete, but most importantly, it was entirely different from Chu Feng's.
"This is what I just saw," Tuoba Tianxue said.
"It's over, it's over, it's over — the three of us all have different labyrinths. As expected, we can't share any useful experience." Tuoba Yijian's frown deepened.
"I'll try again." Chu Feng spoke and once again activated his consciousness, entering the token.
And this time, the labyrinth was different from the one he had just been in — and also different from the one Tuoba Tianxue had sketched.
It seemed that it wasn't just the tokens that differed. The labyrinth itself changed every time you entered.
