Chapter 1642


    Sky arrived at the entrance to the mausoleum.However, his path was blocked by a stone wall.


    "Damn it," he hissed.


    He concentrated his True Energy and mmed his palm into the stone wall before him.


    King Quavon had instructed his servants to specially build this stone wall.It took them countless years


    of painstaking effort to construct it with unique materials.


    Although Sky had ascended the peak of the Sixth Stair, he could not break the wall.


    "There must be some sort of mechanism."


    After he let out his frustrations on the wall, he calmed down and began to look for the mechanism.He


    searched for a long time but to no avail.


    Before he could find the mechanism to open the stone wall, a figure approached him.It was Thomas


    who had also rushed to the scene.


    Thomas immediately noticed that Sky was searching around for something.He walked over, nced at


    him, and asked, "What’s going on?"


    Sky replied, "I was a little toote.The Blithes have already entered King Quavon’s Mausoleum using


    the floor n.I’m stuck at this checkpoint and can’t proceed any further."


    Thomas scanned the surroundings and began to search for the mechanism Sky described.Before the


    two could activate the mechanism, another person soon arrived.It was Can who had rushed over


    after hearing the news.


    More and more people began appearing outside King Quavon’s Mausoleum.


    Meanwhile, James and Tapio continued to solve the various puzzles and advanced further into the


    mausoleum while Donovan followed behind them.He remained silent throughout the journey.


    As for the other Blithe members, they became increasingly vignt after the initial casualties, and there


    were no more idents along the way.

    Tapio suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    James asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Tapio replied, "If the floor n is correct, we should be right outside the crypt.We''ll need to get past this


    complicatedbyrinth in order to reach it."


    James had also scrutinized the floor n.


    Thus, he knew there was abyrinth within the mausoleum.


    He turned to Donovan and said, "Pass the floor n to me.I''ll do a double-check."


    Donovan took out the floor n and handed it to James without hesitation.


    James pursed his lips together before saying, "There’s indeed abyrinth marked out on the floor n,


    but it doesn’t show the passages within it."


    James folded open the floor n and pored over it.


    Thebyrinth was huge and wasposed of a multitude of stone chambers.


    Inside thebyrinth, there were intricate passages that passed through these stone chambers.


    Unfortunately, the floor n merely marks thebyrinth’s location on the map and did not specify the


    way to get through it.


    James looked at Tapio and asked, "Do you remember how long we''ve been walking in the


    mausoleum?"


    Tapio gently shook his head and said, "No, I only realized we entered thebyrinth after passing by a


    few stone chambers."


    "Then, we should turn back."


    James pointed at the floor n and said, "We should return to this location.


    Although the route isn’t marked out, we can still easily pass through thebyrinth since we can


    reference the overallyout."


    Tapio nodded and said, "That’s our only option for now."


    James put away the floor n.


    "M-My floor pl—"


    Before Donovan could finish his sentence, James red at him.


    He immediately shut his mouth and swallowed the rest of his words.


    "The floor n belongs to us.You can hold onto it for the time being, but please return it to me after we


    leave this ce.It’s been passed down in my family, and although it''ll be useless after this, it’s still an


    important family heirloom."


    James ignored Donovan.


    Following his memory, he pushed open a stone door and walked out of thebyrinth.


    Tapio followed closely behind him.


    Suddenly, Donovan came to a sudden stop and quickly pushed another stone door open, leading his


    family members away.


    James turned around and realized Donovan was no longer following them.


    Suddenly, he had a bad premonition and quickly turned back.


    However, the Blithes were nowhere to be seen.


    "Damn it! Donovan’s escaped."


    James quickly determined the direction they had left in and said, "He must know how to get through the


    labyrinth.I think they went this way.Let’s go after them."


    Tapio quickly pulled James back and said, "Don’t act rashly.Thisbyrinth may look simple, but it uses


    the principles of the Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Trigram Formation.It’ll be impossible to


    get through without understanding these concepts.Let''s proceed with the method you just


    suggested.We''ll return to the starting point and use the floor n to find a route through thebyrinth."


    "That seems like our only option now." James nodded.
