Chapter 1156: Chapter 1096: Maze and Giant Mountain

Looking into the stone pool, one can vaguely see a miniature mountain hidden amidst a mist.

As Ye Chen gazed at the stone pool and the mountain, his Mind and Spirit stirred.

"This is..."

Ye Chen recalled the Ancient Stele outside the Chaotic Heavenly Hall mentioning a Miraculous Treasure within The First Layer of Heaven—a Giant Mountain that greatly enhances one’s Realm upon entering.

In The First Layer of Heaven, a small mountain lies hidden within the stone pool.

Both the stone pool and the mountain exude an unusual aura.

Alongside, Ning Xiaoxiao guards the entrance.

Ye Chen’s Mind and Spirit stirred; could this be the miraculous Giant Mountain mentioned on the Ancient Stele?

As Ye Chen’s expression shifted, Ning Xiaoxiao, standing beside, seemed to perceive his thoughts and smiled, saying, "Ye Chen, you must suspect that the small mountain in the stone pool might be that Giant Mountain mentioned on the Ancient Stele, right?"

Ye Chen nodded.

Although the mountain within the stone pool is tiny, contrasting the Ancient Stele’s description, Ye Chen’s countless adventures taught him it might be an illusion from the Space Law, with the real Giant Mountain visible only upon entering the pool’s space.

"This mountain is highly likely that Giant Mountain from the Ancient Stele; even if it’s not, it could still be another Treasure Mountain," Ye Chen suggested, looking at Ning Xiaoxiao. "What do you think, Ning Xiaoxiao?"

Ning Xiaoxiao gazed into the stone pool and slowly said, "To be frank, Ye Chen, I possess a unique Divine Skill allowing me to sacrifice a Treasure for guidance towards another within a certain time frame."

"After entering The First Layer of Heaven of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, I explored some areas specifically searching for the Giant Mountain from the Ancient Stele, but couldn’t find it after extensive searching."

"In such circumstances, I resorted to my wishing Divine Skill. After consuming a Treasure, I received guidance to this area."

"Hence, it’s not about a high likelihood of the mountain in the stone pool being the Giant Mountain mentioned but a certainty that it’s the Giant Mountain we’re seeking!"

Ning Xiaoxiao spoke with absolute conviction.

Her words stirred Ye Chen’s Mind and Spirit.

He never expected Ning Xiaoxiao to possess such a secret technique for wishing and treasure hunting!

A true prodigy from another universe!

Though this technique consumes a Treasure and has limitations, finding superior treasures makes it an incredibly powerful Divine Skill!

Knowing some treasure’s whereabouts, using this Skill to hunt them down holds a high likelihood of discovering top treasures.

No wonder Ning Xiaoxiao has grown so much; true prodigies indeed possess unexpected special means.

As Ye Chen pondered, Ning Xiaoxiao sighed, "Unfortunately, even though I found the Giant Mountain’s location using my Skill, I still cannot enter it."

"The Giant Mountain is concealed within the stone pool, likely shrouded by a special Formation, rendering entry impossible without breaking it."

"Ye Chen, do you have any method to dismantle the stone pool’s Maze?"

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Chen with hopeful anticipation.

Since the Ancient Stele doesn’t restrict the number of entrants to the Giant Mountain, Ning Xiaoxiao never hid this area.

She hoped others might find it, using their abilities to breach the array and enter the mountain."

Though these days no Overlord Level figures have found this place, Ye Chen’s arrival offers a glimmer of hope.

Despite Ye Chen being merely a Heavenly Divine Venerable, Ning Xiaoxiao held little expectations.

However, greatly excited her was Ye Chen’s lack of immediate denial of being unable to break the array, instead, attentively observing the stone pool, even circling it twice and scrutinizing every aspect within it.

Ye Chen’s actions stirred Ning Xiaoxiao’s Mind and Spirit: "Could it be, this Heavenly Divine Venerable Ye Chen truly possesses the capability to break the array?"

Ning Xiaoxiao remembered Ye Chen’s potent Ancient Treasure during the competition for entering the Chaotic Heavenly Hall.

"Ye Chen, managing to obtain such a mighty Ancient Treasure in the Primal Beginning Universe, might just have some extraordinary means!"

Initially disregarding Ye Chen, Ning Xiaoxiao now focused all her Mind and Spirit on him.

After all, whether Ye Chen can break the array directly impacts her chance for advancement!

Ning Xiaoxiao’s little schemes didn’t concern Ye Chen at all.

Since confirming the stone pool’s mountain as the miraculous Giant Mountain from the Ancient Stele, Ye Chen devoted all his efforts to discovering an entry method!

Desiring entry into the Realm-enhancing Giant Mountain, Ye Chen shared Ning Xiaoxiao’s eagerness!

After all, elevating once more means Ye Chen could advance from Heavenly Divine Venerable to Immortal Divine Venerable, reaching the pinnacle of the Divine Venerable Realm!

Ye Chen anxiously anticipated potential benefits upon breaking the third shackle in advancement!

Ye Chen once specialized in studying Formations.

He had even practiced "Nine Volumes of Formation Array," devoted to Formation research.

Furthermore, Ye Chen delved deep into Ancient Tomes on Formation.

Although the stone pool’s unique Prohibition conceals the Giant Mountain’s true form, after thorough observation, Ye Chen developed a certain confidence in dismantling the array.

Ye Chen carefully examined six specific spots within the stone pool.

At these six spots, stones of differing colors lay as streams constantly spouted forth, merging with the pool’s water flow.

Moreover, the mist shrouding the stone pool occasionally escaped from these six stones.

These six stones likely serve as the Maze’s Formation Eye!

Despite identifying the Formation Eye, Ye Chen dared not casually alter the stones’ positions.

Incorrect movement risks triggering the stone pool’s special Defense Prohibition, thereby failing to gain entry into the mountain and potentially causing great disaster.

Without absolute confidence, Ye Chen refrained from rash actions!

Ye Chen meticulously observed the six stone’s slightest changes, studying the patterns of water flow and mist dispersion over time.

Simultaneously, he reminisced various Ancient Formations he had heard of.

This observation and contemplation persisted for three whole days.

Throughout the three days, Ning Xiaoxiao stood by, refraining from disturbing Ye Chen, fearing interruption might hinder his thoughts and exploration.

As time passed, Ning Xiaoxiao increasingly doubted Ye Chen’s odds of breaking the array yet remained patient.

After more than three days of waiting, Ning Xiaoxiao finally saw Ye Chen, who had been watching the stone pool, move.

"Ye Chen..."

Ning Xiaoxiao’s Mind and Spirit jumped, gazing towards Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen merely glanced at her, gesturing for silence, then proceeded to the pool’s southeast corner.

Ye Chen’s actions prompted even Ning Xiaoxiao, whose Realm surpassed his, to hold her tongue, ensuring her breaths became lighter; she feared disrupting Ye Chen at this critical moment.

And then.

After reaching the southeast corner, Ye Chen seemed to possess absolute confidence in breaking the array; he wasted no time and immediately conjured a Divine Light with his hand, directing it to strike one of the six stones before him.

"Left five, mysterious seven, unite—mist disperse!"

Ye Chen chanted a mystic spell, and upon utterance, an unexpected event occurred.

Beneath, within the stone pool.

The stone in front of Ye Chen, struck by his Divine Power’s light, instantly shifted positions, swapping with a stone at the northwest corner.

"Left six, spin nine, eastward—water flow emerging!"

At the same time, Ye Chen chanted another spell, quickly moving to another location to strike another stone with Divine Light.

Following this, the stone promptly shifted positions too.

Ye Chen’s hand remained active, quickening his pace; he continued chanting spells while adjusting stone positions.

This process lasted through eighty-one spatial adjustments altogether.

Once all eighty-one adjustments concluded, suddenly, the six stones within the pool began spinning swiftly, inducing a powerful suction that gradually absorbed the pool’s mist.

The mist within the stone pool diminished rapidly!

While the water flow increased dramatically!

This unique transformation caused Ning Xiaoxiao, observing Ye Chen’s actions, to feel a frenzied stir in her Mind and Spirit, nearly bursting out with excitement.

Ning Xiaoxiao realized that Ye Chen, whose Realm wasn’t as high as hers, might just achieve the array’s breakthrough!

This Ye Chen, surprisingly reaching such miraculous heights, even capable of breaking the Chaotic Heavenly Hall’s array of this level!
