Given how familiar the Demon Prince and the others were with this inheritance ruin, they would certainly not be doing useless work. If they had entered early, they would have had the convenience that others did not.
The information Qing Yu knew was too little, so even entering the inheritance ruins early was just a matter of timing.
Among those who had entered early was Qiao Baixuan, who would have known far more than Qingyu. After all, the Old Man of Time and the Old Man of Sky Reckoning were both famous back then, and both were great masters of the Dao of Heavenly Mechanics and Yi, so they might have had a friendship.
The only way to find out is to take one step at a time.
There was only a shimmer of light where Qing Yu was, so one could only barely make out the scene around him. However, Qing Yu is not a normal person, and with his eyesight, this faint light is more than enough. The gloomy scene is no different from daylight to Qingyu’s eyes.
He walked along the only exit.
There was no light source where he had just entered, but there was a faint light, which meant that there was a light source not far from here.
After a few moments of walking, Qingyu saw the light source. After a few steps, Qing Yu walked into a circular stone room.
There were four exits in four directions, dividing the circular chamber into four equal parts. The pa*sage Qing Yu had entered was one of the exits.
And after Qing Yu entered, a stone door descended from each of the four exits of the stone chamber, closing the chamber, after which ——
“It’s spinning.”
Despite the even and slow speed of rotation, Qing Yu’s senses could still detect that the circular stone chamber was spinning.
Judging from the speed perceived, it would take some time for this wide stone chamber to rotate ninety degrees, and if it were to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees or even more, the time needed would increase exponentially.
Therefore, Qing Yu first observed the scene around him.
When he looked around, the stone room was empty and there was nothing special about it.
Then ——
“The only thing that is strange is the light source.”
Qing Yu raised his head to look above the stone room. Only to see that there were countless points of light at the top, covering the entire top of the stone room. These points of light reflected each other and very unscientifically radiated a brilliant starlight, illuminating the entire stone chamber and even the pa*sage had a shimmering light inside.
The diagram formed by these points of light was very familiar to Qing Yu, he had one inside him, a diagram of the twenty-eight constellations of the Three Walls and the stars of the Zhou Heaven.
After Qing Yu started to involve in the “Astrological Law”, he even watched the sky at night from time to time, so he could be said to be familiar with this astrological chart by heart.
“The stone room rotated and changed direction, and the star map above it also changed a little. It seems that the first level of this legacy is to follow the star map out of the labyrinth. That’s right, star counting, is also a type of Yi art, and if the Heaven Reckoning Elder wants to choose an inheritor, how can he not choose a guy who knows nothing about it.”
“Wait ——”
Qing Yu suddenly sensed something was wrong, “Qiao Bai Xuan and I entered together and both scattered, there’s no way the six people of the Demon Prince just happened to teleport to the same location.”
The star map had three shifts, and there were six Demon Dukes, so if they had all really scattered, there was no way the star map could have shifted in only three places. Even if someone hadn’t reached the stone room yet, then it couldn’t be exactly three transformations.
“Also, there’s something fishy about the star map transformations ——”
It was too close.
Qing Yu looked towards one of the shifting star points, this one, too close to the Purple Violet Walls, just one step away from being as close as the Purple Violet Walls.
Judging from the familiarity of the Demon Prince and others with the inheritance ruins earlier, Qing Yu had reason to believe that this was where the Demon Prince and others were.
It was at this moment that the stone chamber spun to a halt and the stone doors rose, four identical pa*sageways that, just from the outside, could not be seen to have changed at all, as if the closing and opening of the stone doors was completely superfluous.
“180 degrees.”
Knowing the speed of rotation, Qing Yu easily concluded that the stone chamber had rotated 180 degrees. The pa*sage he had entered was not behind him at this point, but in front of him instead.
“Where I am is either the Green Dragon’s seven superstars or the Vermilion Bird’s seven ghosts, the exact location will have to be determined by going to the next stone room.” Qing Yu’s finger pointed out the two changing locations in the star map.
“Leave.”
Qing Yu turned back and rushed towards the pa*sage behind him.
It was still a monotonous stone built pa*sage, and Qing Yu sprinted quickly this time with his light skills, and in a short while, he reached the next stone chamber.
After entering and walking a few steps, the four pa*sageways of this stone chamber similarly descended into stone doors.
“I entered and walked three steps before the stone doors began to descend. This mechanism is determined by what ——”
Thoughts raced through his mind, and Qing Yu reflexively looked at the only peculiarity within the stone chamber – the star map.
“After three steps, I stepped right into the range of the star map at the top, and this should be the mechanism to determine if someone has entered. So, as long as I don’t step into the range of the star map, the stone door should not descend.”
“However, we still need to wait until we reach the next stone chamber to try not stepping into the range of the star map before we can verify the truth of this idea.”
Once again, he looked up to inquire about the new location of the changing star map.
“It’s confirmed, it’s now at the location of the Ghostly Host. Then it’s Qiao Baixuan who’s in the Green Dragon’s seven constellations. So it’s Qiao Baixuan. He has already arrived at the Dazu, it seems he has also discovered the secret of the star map.”
Among the three parties who had come in early, if the Demon Prince and the others had not cheated, then the one with the greatest advantage would be Qiao Baixuan.
If he and the others were on the same starting line, Qiao Baixuan’s chances of winning the inheritance would be at least 40%.
Unfortunately, someone else is cheating now.
After looking at the new star map change points, Qing Yu became even more convinced that the Demon Prince had cheated. The reason is that if Qiao Baixuan had landed in that spot near the Purple Violet Wall, he wouldn’t still be in the Purple Violet Wall now.
If there was an exit, nine times out of ten, it would be in the Ziyi wall.
If there is an exit, it will most likely be within the Purple Violet Wall. At this moment, the Demon Prince and the others were late in entering the Purple Violet Wall, so they were still studying the star map. The difference between high end players and low end players is that even if a low end player has a cheat sheet, he may not know how to pa*s the game.
In this game of fighting for the inheritance, it was obvious that the Demon Prince and the others were low-end players.
At this point the stone room opened up again, and Qing Yu was even more anxious on his feet, rushing towards the next stone room.
The Devil Gongzi and others are not fools, with the raid in hand, sooner or later they will be able to read it. All Qing Yu had to do now was to take advantage of the fact that the other side was fumbling around and pull closer.
However, when Qing Yu reached the next stone chamber, he saw that the stone door had descended and the chamber was slowly rotating.
“Someone’s come in.”
Someone else from outside had entered the inheritance ruins.
