Phew~
Yang Qi took a deep breath, and then he continued to move towards the back of the Tianluo Universe Alliance. After walking an unknown distance, Yang Qi suddenly stopped.
“The environment here…”
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Yang Qi couldn't help but raise his brows slightly, and then he completely released his perception. However, to his surprise, he didn't sense any unusual fluctuations.
Although he did not sense any abnormal fluctuations, Yang Qi's brows were still furrowed, because this was the second time he had seen this familiar environment. Although Yang Qi did not pay special attention to the surroundings when he was on the road, as a practitioner at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, even if he subconsciously took a few glances, he would definitely not be wrong.
"Is it a vision?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and an idea flashed through his mind. The next moment, his mind moved, and the means of the virtual world descended, covering the surroundings.
However, even though the means of the virtual world covered the surroundings, the surrounding environment remained unchanged. Just when Yang Qi was a little puzzled, unusual fluctuations appeared within Yang Qi's perception range.
Whoosh~
The next moment, Yang Qi's body moved and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the location where the strange fluctuations were.
A moment later, Yang Qi came to the location where the strange fluctuations occurred, and saw an ancient tree that was ten thousand feet tall standing in front of Yang Qi.
"This is… "
Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, Yang Qi's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. Carefully sensing the ancient tree in front of him, he soon discovered that the ancient tree in front of him emitted strange fluctuations and blended with the surrounding environment.
"A naturally formed maze!"
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of Yang Qi's eyes, and he immediately understood what was going on in the surrounding environment.
If it was a formation arranged artificially, with Yang Qi's vision and knowledge, he would definitely be able to detect it at the first moment. But if it was formed naturally, no traces of human presence could be seen. Even if Yang Qi wanted to detect it at the first moment, it would be extremely difficult.
What's more, the ancient tree in front of him was integrated with the surrounding environment, and it would undoubtedly be more difficult to detect anything wrong.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "It is not formed naturally, nor is it artificially built. It is arranged by the cosmic will of the nine source universes. No wonder even this emperor, using the means of the virtual world, could not directly see through the maze in front of him."
If it was an ordinary formation, Yang Qi would be able to detect something wrong directly by using the means of the virtual world. Although the means arranged by the will of the universe could not be considered absolutely natural, it was definitely not easy to see through it.
Fortunately, Yang Qi had the means to use the virtual world. Although he was unable to directly detect anything wrong, he discovered the existence of the ancient tree.
Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, Yang Qi fell into silence. Since he realized that the ancient tree was the key to the maze, the best way was to attack the ancient tree directly. Once the ancient tree was destroyed, the maze in front of him would naturally cease to exist.
After destroying the maze, although Yang Qi could continue to move towards the Tianluo Universe, it also meant that the maze in front of him could not stop the practitioners from the Tianluo Universe from heading to the rear of the Endless Universe Alliance.
The maze before them not only prevents practitioners from easily reaching the rear of the Tianluo Universe Alliance, but more importantly, it prevents practitioners from the Tianluo Universe Alliance from easily reaching the rear of the Endless Universe.
It can even be said that the maze plays an even greater role in protecting the Endless Universe Alliance. After all, the practitioners of the Endless Universe Alliance have lower overall strength and means, and are the ones who need more protection.
If Yang Qi destroyed the maze, it would be convenient for him, but it would likely affect the safety of the practitioners of the Endless Universe Alliance.
Therefore, even though he saw that the ancient tree in front of him was the key to the maze, Yang Qi did not destroy the ancient tree immediately. Yang Qi did not want to do this kind of self-serving behavior at the expense of others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, Yang Qi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's look around first to see if we can find a way to leave the maze. Although it is a naturally formed maze, there should be a way to leave."
Although destroying ancient trees is simple and convenient, Yang Qi does not want to do so. At least when there are other options, he does not want to destroy the ancient trees directly.
Immediately, Yang Qi continued to maintain the means of the virtual world, releasing his perception to the extreme, and continued to try in the direction of the Tianluo Universe as before.
However, he had not walked far when a strange wave came from the direction of the ancient tree. Then Yang Qi found that the surrounding scenery began to become familiar. Obviously, he was once again moved to the initial position by the maze in front of him, or a position with the same surrounding environment. It was not certain whether it was the initial position.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi immediately changed direction and headed in another direction. However, after walking for a while, a strange wave came from the ancient tree again, and the surrounding scenery became familiar again.
After two consecutive attempts, Yang Qi had figured out how the maze worked. He moved and came to the ancient tree.
Then, Yang Qi released his perception to the extreme, carefully sensing the fluctuations emitted by the ancient tree and its integration with the surrounding environment.
"There!"
After careful perception, Yang Qi quickly determined that the fluctuations emitted by the ancient tree had fluctuations in one direction, which was slightly different from other directions.
As expected, the direction of that slight difference is the direction of leaving the maze in front of us!
Whoosh~
Immediately, Yang Qi's figure flashed and he flew towards that direction. As time passed, Yang Qi soon discovered that the surrounding environment became similar again.
"It's really confusing!"
Seeing this, Yang Qi smiled slightly and had no intention of changing direction. The reason for this was that he did not sense any abnormal fluctuations from the ancient tree.
This means that Yang Qi did not actually move to another location. The so-called similar environment was only the similarity of the actual environment, a way to confuse practitioners with the actual environment.
After all, the previous attempts have made the practitioners realize that after going deeper into the maze, they will encounter similar environments again. Once this happens, the practitioners will be moved to other locations in the maze. Then they will continue to move forward and still be wandering around in the maze.
In this case, the practitioner will inevitably change direction subconsciously and eventually miss the correct direction to leave the maze.
Reality and falsehood, this is the illusion. The real power of mazes lies in the fact that the truth or falsehood of their meaning can be easily seen through.
It’s a pity that the cosmic wills of the nine source universes would never have thought that a freak like Yang Qi would appear in the chaotic battlefield. He was good at real virtual world methods and had extraordinary perception ability. He found the flaw in the maze in a short time relying on his own strength!
