"Disrupt the s.p.a.ce?" Duan Li frowned as he thought of something. "How do we do that?"
I"m pretty confident with my ability to destroy stuff around, but I"m sure that"s not what he meant it it. Therefore, if one were to use both direction at the same time.."
".. they would collide inside that s.p.a.ce tunnel?" Duan Li interjected.
"Precisely young master! The resulting collision would send waves through that s.p.a.ce tunnels which should trigger something!" confirmed the little sword excitedly, the thought of causing chaos made him quite elated.
Hmm..
"But Di Rou and Cucko had entered the North and South direction respectively at the same time before, and nothing happened." Duan Li said in confusion.
If things were indeed as the little sword had said, then why didn"t those two collide before when they entered?
"That"s because this place isn"t meant for more than a single individual at a time, so the law probably adapted when it encountered such a variable. After all, it would defeat the very purpose of testing oneself if the puzzle was broken using the unintended means. Therefore, young master should treat this as if you are alone. Only then you could think of the right solution!" the little sword explained.
"I should think of this situation as if I am alone in this place?"
Duan Li pondered upon that sentence deeply and nodded.
Indeed, in the first place, I should"ve been alone in this trial as this place was made to test a single individual.. thus, if the solution could only be realized if one were alone, then..
Duan Li gazed at his surroundings for a moment before a flash of comprehension could be seen reflected in his eyes, "I see, so I should use my skill arts?"
"You got it young master!" the little sword exclaimed with a laughter, as if successfully guiding a young child under its care.
Duan Li shook his head with a smile feeling that the little sword"s reaction was silly, and then turned towards the four individuals on the four direction before instructing a command for them to return to him and be on standby.
"If the theory is correct, I should use minimal force first.." Duan Li readied his fist and decided on the amount of power to use. After all, if he were to accidentally exert too much force and ended up breaking the s.p.a.ce tunnels, well.. the situation would immediately spiralled into madagusta!
BAM! BAM!
Two meteoric fists flew in the opposite direction, one to the North and the other to the South at the same time.
When they reached the 500 meters mark, both of the fists immediately disappeared into thin air before a metallic sound could be heard echoing in the entire s.p.a.ce around them!
PENG!
This sound was similar to that of a gong"s, but after waiting for a while, it was apparent that no mechanism or anything was activated yet.
However, this confirmed that the key to advance from their current situation has something to do with hitting that gong-like object inside the s.p.a.ce tunnel!
"Oh wait, there is also the East-West loop.. perhaps I should hit them too?" at the thought of this, Duan Li threw out two more punches towards the two direction.
PENG!
As soon as this gong-like sound was heard a second time, the s.p.a.ce around Duan Li began to rattle intensely.
Krrrr...
"Something"s finally happening.." Duan Li looked around to identify where the change will come from and prepared himself.
Eh?
Suu!!
Duan Li made a jump and flipped to the back as the white ground below his feet suddenly began to elevate out of nowhere which spooked him!
Rrruururuuuu..
"d.a.m.n, that surprised me.. I thought it was an enemy.." he said as he stared at the object that was slowly rising up from the ground.

At first, the object was pyramid in shape, but when it rose up higher and higher, it was obvious that it wasn"t what Duan Li had initially expected, because what came out was actually a small pavilion structure!
TUMM!
"This is.. a gazebo?" Duan Li stared at this red wooden structure intently while being on guard at the same time, for who knows what will pop out next.
From the looks of it, even though the wood used was showing signs of decay indicating its extreme ancientness, it was still in a pristine condition!
In the center of this gazebo was a small stone pedestal at waist height with a palm print on it.
"Tetra Soul Sense!"
Wengg!!
After a thorough inspection on both of the structure and the stone pedestal, Duan Li confirmed through the voice of the Mirealithians that the stone pedestal acts as an identifier or the sorts, which was probably used to identify the challenger of the maze in order to begin the real trial!
Walking up to this gazebo and placing his right palm onto that palm print, a bright blue glow emerged out from the stone pedestal.
Wongg..
These blue glow then floated up into the air, before darting out towards the 4 cardinal direction and disappeared like a smoke without trace.
PENG! PENG! PENG! PENG!
Next, a total of 4 gong-like sounds could be heard before the stone pedestal splitted into half, revealing a floating stone tablet which contained 4 different symbols.
"What is this?"
Right after expressing his confusion, the 4 symbols on the stone tablet suddenly began to glow into 4 different colors; bronze, copper, silver and gold!
Eh.. this thing has too much visuals..
Duan Li could not help but to shook his head as he thought about the creator of all these, whom was possibly the Grand Immortal or whatnot himself, was putting too much effort into setting this up!
Did he have too much free time at hand back then?
"Would I see some delicate, hand-crafted statues next?"
As if to answer the monologue random whinings inside of Duan Li"s head, 4 different statues dropped down from the sky looking extremely life-like and positioned themselves to the North, East, South and West respectively!
Just by a single glance, one would be able to tell that those was the handiwork of a true expert! Their hairs, eyebrows, eyes and mouth.. had it been that the textures of these grey statues was not that obvious and more colourful, some people would probably mistook them as real person instead!
In addition, these 4 statues were dressed differently, one looked like a martial artist, another a cultivator, a scholar and one that looked identical to him in both appearance and style!
Furthermore, he didn"t know why, but the last statue appeared to be quite handsome and dashing to him.
"They really appeared..!" Duan Li"s jaw almost dropped to the floor.
If I think about my mother, would she fell down from the sky too?
"..."
So it was a coincidence..
If his mother really appeared, things might get a little bit more hectic here..
"Now, what is the purpose for all these things appearing one after another?" Duan Li played with his chin as he circled the stone tablet with both hands clasped behind his back, as if an expert inspecting the unknown mysteries.
"Since my Tetra Soul Sense did not managed to see this stone tablet before, it must meant that the stone pedestal collapse after taking in my spiritual Qi formed into the stone tablet after.."
The four symbols were depictions of a puppet, a kind of monster, a mountain and a person. No matter how Duan Li tried to observe more, he found that there was nothing else extraordinary about the four symbols other than they were protruding out a little bit from the stone tablet.
"This is.. they are switches?" he said inwardly.
Hmm..
Duan Li stepped a little bit closer and pressed at one of them - one with the puppet symbol.
Wengg!!
The symbol began to lit up in a series of bronze color and this color connected to one of the four statues, specifically the one from the North that looked like a martial artist, and the statue began to tremble visibly.
"Eh? Is it becoming alive?" Duan Li narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, gesturing for the others to regroup around him and prepare for battle!
However, contrary to his expectation, this statue did not attack him but only rose both arms to the sky, before suddenly flexing both biceps like a thug.
"..." Duan Li.
Does this statue need a slap to the face or something?
Wongg!!
A bronze colored vortex formed behind the statue.
"Oh? A vortex appeared.."
After thinking for a moment, Duan Li walked towards the vortex and stopped when he reached in front of it as he turned to look back.
"I guess the only way forward is to enter this vortex.."
Well.. what may come, I will prevail!
With a determined glint in his eyes, Duan Li gathered everyone back and entered the vortex before his silhouette gradually disappeared into its depths.
