Taoist Master Leaves the Mountains: All My Senior Sisters Love Me-Chapter 1708 - 1707: Temple Like a Maze

"This is..."

Wang Ye saw something very peculiar on it.

He held the map up to his eyes and discovered a small mark.

The mark looked bizarre, able to rotate continuously on the map.

He glanced around with a sense of disbelief.

By sheer coincidence, he spotted something identical to the map’s mark about thirty meters away.

Though the thing appeared strange, Wang Ye decided it was worth taking into his possession.

Upon obtaining it, he began to ponder over the object.

After much trial and error, the three finally uncovered a very mysterious mechanism within, which revealed the object to be a treasure controlled by puppets.

"So that’s it. It seems this thing requires recognition by a master. But why is such an important treasure here?"

Wang Ye felt puzzled.

Logically, valuable items should be well-hidden, so he released his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.

After some exploration, he discovered that it was something dropped by the strange woman they had previously vanquished.

Subsequently, the three continued searching around the area for a while.

After numerous searches, they found a triangular shape at different angles.

Wang Ye pieced them together, forming a treasure in his hand that looked like it was controlled by a puppet.

Once combined, all the pieces formed a square Compass.

To make sure they could acquire the item, Wang Ye used his Divine Sense to investigate the interior of the treasure.

However, to his dismay, there was nothing noteworthy inside the treasure.

Although the treasure could not be used yet, Wang Ye was already deeply fond of it.

Wang Ye could always feel that the treasure emanated an aura beyond normal Spiritual Power, neither demonic, dark, nor corrupt.

All signs suggested that mastering this treasure would unleash greater capabilities.

For this reason, Wang Ye bit his finger and dripped blood onto it.

After half an hour, the treasure reluctantly recognized him as its master.

The effort expended in securing the treasure felt excessive to Wang Ye, so he decided to continue onward with Yun’er and Ya Yun.

As they traveled, they made many marks along the way, along with Miniature Teleportation Talismans.

This way, their safety was somewhat ensured.

After a day’s journey, they avoided various inexplicable Demon Beasts’ attacks and entered a descending staircase.

Coming down the stairs, they reached a labyrinth.

At the front of the labyrinth, Wang Ye saw a red gemstone, which, upon taking it in hand, could transform everything around it into his own power.

He didn’t find it very useful; even though it could convert everything around him into power, it would indiscriminately harm others.

Thus, the treasure was only usable in special situations, and he put it away for now.

The three continued forward, passing through what seemed to be an unknown maze before finally finding an exit.

Along the way, Yun’er and Ya Yun had completely lost their sense of direction.

If it weren’t for Wang Ye leading the way, the two women would likely have never escaped the maze.

Just as the trio left the maze, they encountered a breathtakingly beautiful statue.

The statue could even speak human words and performed a standard greeting bow.

"Welcome to the Shura Temple," said the woman, smiling.

She gestured, causing the space before them to change, then invited Wang Ye and the others to leave with her.

At this moment, Wang Ye and his companions were pulled by a force and transported to the temple’s entrance outside the maze.

"Congratulations to the three of you for finding your way out in half an hour. As a reward, here is something for you."

With a flash of an orange-red light, three impeccably crafted Mixed Yuan Artifact garments appeared before Wang Ye and his companions.

Such treasures, seen by any cultivator outside, would undoubtedly incite a fierce struggle.

Yet, although acquiring these three treasures, Wang Ye could not find joy in his heart.

To him, these treasures seemed strangely out of place, beyond his imagination even.

Everything appeared to be going too smoothly.

Ever since they left the maze, there had been no threats.

To prevent any unforeseen situations, Wang Ye deliberately delayed the stranger and returned to the unknown exit point of the labyrinth, leaving behind a Miniature Teleportation Talisman.

Doing this, he still felt uneasy, so he released his Dharma Aspect, bit his finger, and used his blood to empower the Dharma Aspect, making it hard for anyone to detect it was not his true form.

After making these preparations, Wang Ye’s true form hid at the labyrinth’s exit.

His Dharma Aspect, along with Yun’er and Ya Yun, departed with the mysterious stranger.

After walking for six hours, they arrived at a palace.

Inside, no one could use Spiritual Power, nor could they leave.

"Congratulations to the three of you for reaching my Nine-layered Hell; it’s truly rare. It has been countless years since anyone dared come here. Please, have a seat."

"Senior, what’s with your arm?"

Seeing the other’s apparent cordiality, Wang Ye tried to be equally courteous.

But when he noticed a bloody hole in the other’s arm, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

Everything here was arranged like a brand-new home, clean and tidy without a speck of dust.

A sanctuary with a maze-like temple, referred to as the Nine-layered Hell by its resident, could not be truly safe.

Indeed, as the person continued speaking, their hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"Sorry, I’ve been feeling unwell lately. Please, have some Spiritual Wine to ease the shock."

The strange man spoke and then left with the stranger by Wang Ye’s side.

The seemingly empty hall now had only Wang Ye and his two companions.

Though curious, they noticed no signs of danger.

To understand the situation, Wang Ye boldly drank the Spiritual Wine.

Not being his true form, he felt little worry.

Sure enough, after drinking the Spiritual Wine, a surge of Spiritual Power flooded through him.

This could make any cultivator feel immensely powerful, yet this Spiritual Power also induced tension because they couldn’t control the overwhelming surge.

The power was so intense that Wang Ye had to find a way to suppress it.

He even unleashed attacks outward to consume some of the immense Spiritual Power within him.

"Impressive, you managed to suppress the Spiritual Power of the Spiritual Wine. Were the three of you here specifically for exploration?"

"Sorry, I was just passing by and stumbled upon this place by accident."

As Wang Ye explained, he noticed the other’s arm had become very slender, unlike a man’s arm.

The other’s behavior made all three quite vigilant.
