Divine Beast Creator

The Flesh Labyrinth is filled with blood-colored crystal barriers, but surprisingly, despite it belonging to the Qi Realm’s territory, there’s no presence of any spiritual pollution.

"Strange, wanting to strip away the characteristics of the Qi Realm should require quite an effort. What is she doing?"

Perplexed, Feng Yuan surveyed his surroundings and wondered why the Soul Projection would do this. Spiritual pollution, while merely a nuisance to them, wasn’t something insurmountable, yet it was a hallmark of the Qi Realm itself. With its peculiar nature, it wasn’t impossible for the opponent to remove it.

But doing so requires extra effort, and Feng Yuan couldn’t understand why the opponent would go through the trouble, as there seemed to be no advantage, only disadvantages.

"She is very contradictory. On one hand, it seems she wants to fight us fairly, but on the other, she seems to use any means necessary."

Dou Yanlan slowly expressed the confusion in her heart, unsure why her Soul Projection in this world would have such strange thoughts.

However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on these matters. At least for them, it was a good thing, as without the presence of spiritual pollution, they weren’t restricted by Tamur’s shelter and could move freely.

"The space here is vast, at least much larger than Qi Hua City."

Feng Yuan had already released his Divine Sense to probe. Unlike spiritual power, Feng Yuan’s Divine Sense wasn’t suppressed by the Crystal Barrier. Although he hadn’t used his full strength and could only explore part of the area, the information from this segment was enough for him to make a judgment.

The place is large, with many unscrupulous things hidden inside, or rather...traps. However, what puzzled Feng Yuan was that those traps weren’t set to harm people treacherously. In fact, the traps were all visible and removable, rather than interconnected schemes that one would rather avoid.

The actions of the Soul Projection are indeed a bit strange.

Thinking this, Feng Yuan didn’t voice it out. Although those traps might cause some minor troubles for the group, they would merely be minor inconveniences. To say they could cause any harm would be impossible.

After all, the only ones among them with relatively weaker strength were Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan. With Xiao Ji pinned by Feng Yuan’s side, there wouldn’t be any issues. As for War Qi Chen and Qi Realm Dou Yanlan?

Don’t underestimate them; the reason they couldn’t partake in Feng Yuan’s battle was simply because Feng Yuan’s strength was already sufficient. Even the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm was somewhat uncomfortable for the Divine Beasts; otherwise, War Qi Chen could have taken over the battle and secured victory.

"This maze is easy to get lost in just by walking. Is there a way to pinpoint locations?"

Bai You looked at everyone, and War Qi Chen, understanding his intention, said with some surprise,

"Did you bring a Map Yoa?"

With a glance at War Qi Chen, Bai You pretended to be annoyed and said,

"Always prepare for battle, and you forgot?"

Smiling, War Qi Chen didn’t say anything. He hadn’t brought a Map Yoa because he was temporarily called back to East Continent Great Xia for no tasks.

The Map Yoa is a special Spirit Beast with weak combat capabilities but possesses a unique ability: it can map the path it traverses. Often, Beastmasters use the Map Yoa to chart first-hand maps in certain specific areas.

Of course, due to its almost non-existent combat ability, it’s generally not chosen as a Spirit Beast. When it comes to Spirit Beasts, unless there’s a special need, it’s usually not kept. Hence, War Qi Chen did not have his own Map Yoa.

Bai You’s Map Yoa also came from the East Continent Great Xia’s official source, although War Qi Chen suspected Bai You made up reasons to occupy the Map Yoa long-term.

As for regular upkeep, the official Spirit Beasts naturally have a dedicated quota, and Bai You would generally have special caretakers, only bringing it along when traveling.

Seeing the released Map Yoa, Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment but said nothing. Mapping was nothing difficult. Even if this wasn’t under Tamur and Veronia’s authority, the area’s suppression wasn’t strong enough. Only the spiritual power of Qi Chen and the others couldn’t be released.

Not to mention that Eclipse was present. Once a direction was set, Eclipse’s attack could allow them to bypass the meandering maze paths and head straight for the target. Nevertheless, after some thought, Feng Yuan decided not to mention this.

The reaction of the Soul Projection was somewhat strange. Remaining passive might be better; at least the opponent wouldn’t suddenly act out excessively.

As for the time wasted, Feng Yuan wasn’t in a hurry. Although he wanted to return to the Main World sooner, provoking the Soul Projection at this time to react poorly was less preferable than proceeding slowly, which at least maintained the possibility of getting closer to the opponent.

The Map Yoa cannot directly display surrounding routes, or rather, it only records the paths it has traveled and has the ability of absolute spatial positioning.

This very trait established the Map Yoa’s prominence in professional map-making. Besides normal spatial areas, many peculiar domains have disorienting attributes. It’s easy to lose one’s way without relying on landmarks, making mapmaking under such conditions very challenging.

The Map Yoa, however, isn’t affected by this, continually drafting correct navigation routes, and can even alert when backtracking.

In the current maze that suppressed the perception of the group, utilizing the Map Yoa to map and explore was a valid choice, provided the maze didn’t change.

Veronia was evidently aware that this exploration method was time-consuming, but glanced at Feng Yuan. That guy remained silent; did he have a special consideration?

Perhaps because of trust in Feng Yuan, Veronia did not suggest it could assist in finding the correct path.

Inside the maze, besides traps, many peculiar monsters roamed, yet when facing these monsters, the expression on Qi Realm Dou Yanlan was somewhat peculiar.

"Why do these monsters seem like events I experienced together with him? Could it be..."

Upon once again eliminating a monster blocking their path, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan suddenly spoke, prompting Feng Yuan to glance at her and said,

"She is you, the other side of your soul. Even though distorted, she retains the same memories."

"Perhaps she wants to say something to you, though I find it a bit incredible."

Feng Yuan wasn’t speaking offhandedly; under normal circumstances, a Soul Projection would have no chance of being this intricate, but every aspect of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection revealed peculiar characteristics, making it hard not to wonder if it wasn’t entirely mad, or perhaps, still had a rational component.

However, a rational madwoman is more terrifying than a mere madwoman.

"What does she want to say to me?"

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan gazed ahead, bewildered. Could she truly have something to convey? But...

"Set aside melancholy for now; without encountering the true self, speculating leads only to beautification or vilification of the other."

War Qi Chen couldn’t help but speak up, while Bai You glared at him, seeming somewhat vexed. Qi Chen scratched his head quietly, feeling the situation growing increasingly odd.

Fortunately, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan wasn’t an ordinary person, and didn’t dwell further in sentimentality. Composing herself, she once again joined War Qi Chen and Bai You in dealing with the traps and enemies.

As for Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan?

Due to their strength, they didn’t intervene; given their abilities, handling this wouldn’t be impossible, just a waste of time.

"A childish play, I almost thought a clumsy love drama would unfold."

Veronia snorted lightly, discontentedly muttering, as Tamur circled Feng Yuan, saying,

"This maze poses no threat to them."

"Um... so, why did she make this thing?"

Upon hearing Tamur’s words, Feng Yuan paused, understanding the implication. Tamur’s soothsayer tendencies had surfaced again, as it somehow glimpsed a fragment of the future.

Regarding the obtained information, the maze’s difficulty... is quite low, manageable for War Qi Chen and the others.

Of course, this is from Feng Yuan’s perspective; for Qi Chen and the others, the trap-laden maze wouldn’t seem easy.

Yet, what’s the purpose behind these actions?
