His complaints were on point, it seemed as if the trials had purposely skimmed the cultivators in each team to allow only the most complete ones to reach the seabed.
"No point thinking about that now, we will ask the creator once we reach the end."
David spoke as he stood up.
The others in his group understood the meaning behind his actions, they were going to continue in the exploration!
The other part of the corridor was identical to the first part, tall pillars and inscriptions filled the large azure passage.
The light of the inscriptions continued to scan the cultivators and their centers of power, Noah guessed that even the next test would feature humans.
'I hope that the copy of our team has killed its opponents, it would be a problem if my powers were to be exposed.'
Noah thought as he imagined his copy recklessly entering the complete Demonic form to fight the other cultivators in the mountain ranges.
'It shouldn't be a problem if the copy was sent against the real version of our opponents, we were stronger than them after all, but I can't be sure of that.'
The march through the corridor gave him a lot of time to think, he couldn't help but feel worried about his identity being revealed.
'Well, I'm not on my own right now, I have the backing of one of the most powerful organizations in the archipelago… Everything should be fine.'
Noah suppressed those thoughts as he continued to walk with his team, he was still in the Inheritance ground after all, his biggest problem was surviving the trials.
It took even more than last time for a change in the scenery to appear.
After about one and a half weeks of travel, David's group saw how the corridor divided itself into five different passages.
Hesitation could be seen in David's eyes as he inspected the passages, no matter how much he probed, he couldn't find any difference between them.
"Let's go to the central one."
David spoke, leading his group into the central passage.
The familiar corridor appeared but, that time, it took only one day for a change in the scenery to occur.
The five cultivators were surprised to see that the same five passages had reappeared in front of them!
"Were we teleported back?"
Helga asked but none of her companions could give her an answer, they were as confused as her.
David took an orb from his space-ring and activated it before leading his teammates into the leftmost passage.
The scenery was the same and, after exactly one day of travel, the same passages appeared and a shining orb was hovering in the air in front of them.
It was clear now that they were stuck in a sort of loop!
"Let's try all of them before evaluating other possibilities."
David ordered as he led his team through the rightmost passage.
The same event occurred, they reached again the five branches of the corridor after marching for one day.
No one spoke that time, the group went directly for the remaining corridors only to find out that they always bought them back at their entrances.
The felt confused, they had wasted five days already in that spot but they had no idea how to advance.
Then, Noah had an idea when he thought about Nate's words.
"The creator allowed us to face the trials with teams but the trials slowly forced us to separate. We fought five cultivators in the previous test but we know that there are more and less numerous teams. Also, their power was similar to ours but we know that there are more and less powerful teams. Five passages, five cultivators…"
Noah's eyes shone with understanding as his gaze went on the entrances in front of him, he was beginning to understand the reason behind the Inheritance ground's layout.
