Jiang Shi was still walking at the front. Among the four, he and Feng Yiran were the least affected.

And since he has the ability to scout ahead, it's only natural that he should be the one to scout ahead!

Jiang Shi condensed a ball of earth-yellow true energy in his palm, like a small lamp, illuminating the distance of three steps ahead.

He stopped at each fork in the road, closed his eyes to sense the surroundings for a few moments, and then chose a path.

Sometimes I choose the left, sometimes the right, and sometimes the narrowest one.

On the correct path, gravity returns to normal.

The four of them stood firmly on the ground, with a real ceiling above them, and the solid feeling made Huo Lie breathe a sigh of relief.

But the right path is often the narrowest, darkest, and most inconspicuous side road.

There was a narrow passage that could only be passed sideways. After Jiang Shi squeezed through, Feng Yiran could barely pass, but Huo Lie was stuck.

Shui Lingxi pushed from behind, while the spirit beast pulled from the front, and it was only with great difficulty that they managed to drag him out of the crack in the wall.

"This maze is deliberately messing with me," Huo Lie muttered, rubbing his shoulder which was aching from being rubbed against the wall.

He suffered the most in this earth-elemental secret realm.

"Talk less and walk more," Shui Lingxi said, glaring at him.

Upon hearing this, Huo Lie immediately fell silent, but he didn't remain idle.

He would burn a mark on the wall at each fork in the road.

His fire-elemental true essence was severely suppressed, and he could only use his magical artifact to burn a charred dot on the wall.

The dots are small, but eye-catching enough.

The spirit beasts of Shuilingxi also helped.

It would urinate at the corner of the wall every so often it walked a short distance. The smell was faint, but the spirit beast could smell it.

Jiang Shi frowned as he looked at it, wondering what kind of crazy method this was.

However, Shui Lingxi said that this was the standard practice of the Beast Taming Mountain, and that the urine of spirit beasts could last for three days without dissipating, making it more reliable than the mark of fire.

"My mark can also last for three days," Huo Lie said, quite unconvinced.

He was using this method to try to prove that he wasn't a burden, but rather that he was very useful.

"Your mark is visible in the dark, but it disappears around the corner. The scent of a spirit beast is omnipresent," Shui Lingxi interrupted Huo Lie.

Huo Lie opened his mouth, but finding no words to refute it, he had no choice but to shut up dejectedly.

Just then, the four of them walked into a relatively spacious passage. As they reached the middle, gravity suddenly shifted to the left.

Everything happened in an instant.

The "ground" beneath their feet transformed into the left wall, and the four of them were pulled in by a tremendous force, slamming heavily against it.

Huo Lie was hit the hardest; half of her body was numb.

"Here we go again!" Huo Lie said through gritted teeth, then quickly got up and found himself standing on the wall, no, on the "ground".

Gravity pulled him to the left wall; he was now standing on the wall with his feet on it and his head above the wall that was originally on his right.

The wind was the first to adapt.

He stood on the wall, his body slightly tilted, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Sword cultivators' adaptability is truly unparalleled!

I'm afraid it won't be long before Feng Yiran gets used to this gravity!

At that moment, the stone statues emerged from the "ground," and the original right-side wall became the "ceiling" above their heads.

Two stone statues emerged upside down, their dark red eyes looking down at the four.

Unaffected by gravity, they stand normally on the "ceiling," looking down from above.

The two stone statues leaped forward, raised their stone swords, and slashed down at the heads of the four people.

Feng Yiran reacted quickly, immediately leaping into the air. Due to the leftward gravity, his "upward" jump was towards the original right-side wall.

He adjusted his posture in mid-air, rotated his body 180 degrees, and with a flash of sword light, slashed at the head of the nearest stone statue.

The sword, imbued with sword intent, slashed into the stone statue's neck.

The statue's head rolled off its shoulders, crashed to the ground, and shattered into pieces.

His body swayed, then he collapsed with a thud.

Jiang Shi was simultaneously dealing with another figure.

He stood on the wall, lotus flowers rising beneath his feet. The Lotus Step was very awkward to perform under the lateral gravity, but he still managed to keep his balance.

Jiang Shi quickly moved away, and then he moved to the base of the stone statue.

Jiang Shi swung his sword upwards, the tip of the Canglan Sword piercing the stone statue's chest, and the Gengjin Divine Light exploded at its core.

The stone statue immediately shattered from the inside, and the rubble fell all over the ground.

In this situation, the Geng Metal Divine Light is the most suitable. Among the five types of divine light, the Geng Metal Divine Light has the strongest attack power and the greatest destructive power!

There were only two stone statues guarding the area, and the battle ended very quickly.

The moment the two stone guardian statues were destroyed, gravity immediately returned to normal.

Without the influence of gravity, the four people fell off the left wall and landed back on the ground.

Huo Lie fell again, but this time he was smarter and braced himself with his hands when he landed, so he didn't hurt himself too much.

"How many times has this happened?" Huo Lie got up, dusted himself off, and said with a hint of grievance.

That's just how fiery her personality is—straightforward and never hiding it.

"I don't know," Shui Lingxi said. Although she spoke coldly, her eyes were fixed on Huo Lie with concern.

She was worried that Huo Lie would be seriously injured, but out of pride, she didn't rush over to check on her.

The second encounter took place in a long, straight passage.

The passage was very long, with no end in sight. Because the gravity here could affect spiritual senses, Jiang Shi was unable to explore it completely.

The walls on both sides of the passage were straight, and the ground was flat. Jiang Shi and his three companions had gone halfway when gravity suddenly disappeared.

It's not about turning left or right, it's about disappearing completely.

The four people's feet left the ground, and their bodies began to float.

Huo Lie was like a landlubber thrown into water, flailing its arms and legs wildly, but finding nowhere to grab its weight.

Shui Lingxi fared somewhat better; she adjusted her posture in mid-air, but still couldn't control her position.

Feng Yiran tapped the wall with the tip of his sword and turned his body in one direction.

Jiang Shi circulated his earth-elemental true essence, attempting to "pull" himself back to the ground, but once gravity disappeared, the earth-elemental true essence's sensitivity to gravity also vanished.

Just then, three stone statues floated over from both ends of the passage.

Two floated in from the front, and one floated in from the back. They were unaffected by weightlessness.

These stone guardians move freely, like fish swimming in water.

If it weren't for gravity, Jiang Shi alone could wipe out all these stone guardians.

However, given the influence of gravity, we still need to proceed with caution.

This is also why Jiang Shi initially withdrew from that path and chose this one.

Three stone guardians, with their stone swords raised high, quickly floated over and launched an attack on the four of them.

Three slashes came hurtling towards them!
