《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 310: Each on their Own Path
Advertisement
Whoever was writing that… Lin Xiao really wished to land a punch on his face. The one who engraved the words knew that it was rare for anyone to really have no element even though they might focus on the no element path.
The rarest element like what Lin Xiao had was even rarer, so it was not shown here.
Because of that, the one who made this Labyrinth of Truth also played with his words and not being serious at all.
"Light element?" Princess Lan Yi Hua memorized the route based on what Lin Xiao told her before.
Lin Xiao nodded. "There's an explanation here. Those with special element that's not written here or those who're born with body without element had to follow the light path and then pick their choice gain in the second stage."
Second stage?
They were all stunned but as they looked below, they came to realization that they were going to follow the path that was already depicted beforehand. It means that there would only be one path for them in the second stage.
"Hmm, in that case, good luck!"
"Yes, see you on the other end of the labyrinth!"
"Don't die!"
Hu Fei walked forward while memorizing the word in his mind. It was only a few steps forward when he suddenly realized something. This path… wasn't this the one where that Sang Guan and the others took?
Damn it, he better not meets with any of them or he would be itching to give them a beating.
While Hu Fei was in clear annoyance, Lin Xiao thought about those other geniuses who came first. He had been paying attention to where they went and noticed that not a single one of them picked this light path.

Two groups head to the dark path, one group to the metal path, one group to wood path, two groups to wind path, three groups to lightning path...' Lin Xiao was a bit worried about the others now. The rest of the groups went to the other path that didn't cross them but Prince Lin Yan, Hu Fei, and also Prince Lin San will surely meet others on their way and their number… was not little.
'Oh, there's intersection.'
On the ground, Lin Xiao could see three different writings. He had told the others that they had to follow the same word because there might be other writings.
"Death, fall, and light…"
Lin Xiao felt like cursing for whoever was writing those. He could guess that if someone picked the wrong path, that person would be facing something that they would never expect in their entire life.
More and more intersection appeared.
However, the familiar writing made Lin Xiao numb. They were all writing about the agony and also torture that whoever passed the path would experience. That kind of thing… was very scary.
Whoever build this before must be very powerful and yet Lin Xiao once again recalled that there was the fact that there was a barrier to advance to Golden Core Stage 3 that Prince Lin Yan told him.
Why was that?
Lin Xiao didn't know.
"Oh, the writing is different… Fall, treasure, light."
Treasure?
Lin Xiao glanced at his right and pondered for a moment. He knew that if he continued to the front, he would surely be able to continue the path but if he took a small detour for the treasure, it might take some time.
He shook his head lightly and shrugged. There was no reward without risk. Since the word was treasure, he would try to enter…

Wait.
Lin Xiao crouched down and tried to stab the ground, changing the word written there. It was then he noticed there was not even any mark. Even if he used his Qi, there was not even any mark.
'You will need to reach Golden Core Stage 5 if you wish to even leave the slightest bit of mark with this material.'
'Oh, that's good then.'
Lin Hu snorted. Lin Xiao was only aiming for the treasure and naturally Lin Hu understood his Master's thoughts the most.
'Don't come crying to me if the treasure is already taken.'
'…Damn you.'
Lin Xiao walked forward carefully. He was looking around and used his Qi to sense the area. It wouldn't do him any good if he fell for any trap before even reaching the treasure. There wouldn't be any point of him staying here if that was case.
It didn't take long before Lin Xiao arrived in a large hall. There were three doors in front of him.
"Which door should I take?" Lin Xiao pondered.
Bang!
There was a loud sound in another path and Lin Xiao glanced to the side. His eyes contracted when he saw that there were actually four different doors that was heading to this place.
That means, the treasure was connected to three other paths.
'What should I do?'
Lin Xiao's brain worked faster as he didn't want to meet with anyone. His gaze landed on the three doors as he noticed the word carved at the door frame.
The first door, those who are greedy will never be able to pass this test.
The second door, only those who are pure in their heart will be able to pass this test.
The third door, courage is needed to pass this test.
Reading that, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate anymore and rushed to the third door. What a joke, Lin Xiao knew very well that he was not that pure in his heart as for being greedy… he loved money to a certain degree and naturally would not pick that first door. He raised his hand and pushed the door open. Right when his hand touched the door frame, Lin Xiao felt that his body was sucked inside as that floating sensation arrived once more.
In the real world, the door disappeared when Lin Xiao entered and two groups of people reached the treasure room.
"Damn! There are only two doors left!"
"What? There should be four doors! I'm going first."
"Me first!"

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
