Chu Tian was the last one to enter the Spirit Eye. Just as he was about to enter with his door key, Caesar suddenly stopped him.
"Kid, you'll be inside for five hours, and during these five hours, no one from the outside can see what's happening inside. So, don't mess around." Caesar reminded Chu Tian before he left, knowing that Chu Tian had made some enemies.
Chu Tian grinned, but he didn't know what it meant.
After all, the location they were being transported to inside was specific, and unless they had special talents to bypass the maze restrictions inside the Spirit Eye, it would be very difficult for these people to collide with each other.
After entering the door of the Spirit Eye, Caesar took out a chair from his spatial ring and sat down in front of the door.
Not far away, Kleyssa, dressed as a guide, walked over and looked at Caesar, then asked, "Do you think this kid will cause trouble inside? You know, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group is a pawn secretly inserted by the Federation, and it's not easy to mess with them. As for the young master of the Clinton family, he's arrogant and domineering, and the Clinton family is an old and powerful family in the Federation, also not to be trifled with."
"What's to be afraid of? We can always go to war if necessary." Caesar replied disdainfully.
Kleyssa could only shrug her shoulders and said, "You're thinking too simplistically."
At this moment, Chu Tian was inside the Spirit Eye. As soon as he entered, he saw that he was in a cave about a dozen square meters in size, with a pool in the center of the cave. Around the cave were seven large openings leading to other places.
His current location should be in the center of the Spirit Eye.
Looking at the pool, the water in it was milky white, like a pool of milk. The milky white spring water came from a fist-sized spring, but there seemed to be something inside the spring, and upon closer inspection, a thumb-sized multicolored stone could be seen.
The milky white water from this pool flowed in all directions through the seven large openings.
Out of curiosity, Chu Tian took off his clothes and jumped into the pool, heading towards the spring.
But when he was about a meter away from the spring, an invisible wall blocked his path. Obviously, there was a prohibition protecting this spring.
Chu Tian gave up his curiosity and simply sat cross-legged in the pool, starting to absorb the rich spiritual energy emanating from the Spirit Eye.
Just as Chu Tian had just started to absorb it, the system suddenly displayed a prompt.
[Ding - Strong spiritual energy reaction detected. The system requests temporary control of the host's body for a system upgrade. Do you accept?]
Chu Tian was taken aback by this and didn't expect the system to suddenly make such a request. After hesitating for a few seconds, he agreed to the system's request.
Immediately, Chu Tian felt his vision go dark, and he lost his sight and hearing. His body couldn't move at all, and it seemed as if he had entered his subconscious mind.
However, even in the pitch-black subconscious, Chu Tian could feel his body greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the Spirit Eye, but these spiritual energies didn't stay in his body at all, they disappeared as if there was a huge abyss inside him.
After a while, Chu Tian's vision and hearing gradually returned, and control of his body returned to him.
[System is about to undergo an upgrade. This upgrade will last for five days. The system will retain basic functionality, and new features will be introduced after the upgrade. Stay tuned.]
After the system's message was completed, it disconnected.
Chu Tian took out his communicator and glanced at it, realizing that he had wasted nearly two hours for nothing.
But at that moment, Chu Tian was surprised to find that he couldn't absorb the spiritual energy from the Spirit Eye anymore. It was as if something was blocking it.
When he came to his senses, Chu Tian found that the water in the pool had turned transparent, and the multicolored stone in the Spirit Eye had dimmed considerably.
Seeing this, Chu Tian could only marvel at how crazy the system was for absorbing all the spiritual energy in the pool.
Since he couldn't absorb the spiritual energy, Chu Tian climbed out of the pool, put on his clothes, and activated his spiritual power perception. There was no restriction on spiritual power talents inside the Spirit Eye.
Soon, Chu Tian saw one of the caves leading to Lanfeng's location. Lanfeng was sitting in a pool filled with milky white liquid.
Chu Tian didn't pay attention to Lanfeng and looked elsewhere.
But with so many openings to explore, Chu Tian eventually gave up his exploration. He found a relatively flat spot, sat down, and took out ten Level 2 spiritual energy crystals to absorb.
Just as Chu Tian was absorbing the second crystal, he suddenly felt someone approaching. He opened his eyes, released his spiritual power perception, and saw Max walking towards him.
It seemed that Max was quite familiar with the maze-like place, as he easily walked to Chu Tian's cave.
Seeing Chu Tian sitting not far away, Max sneered and said, "Chu Tian, I didn't expect us to meet again, did you?"
"What do you want, Max?" Chu Tian didn't open his eyes but continued to sit on the side, absorbing the crystals in his hand.
Max apparently hadn't noticed the liquid in the pool because even though there was light, it was quite dim, making it almost impossible for a normal person to see.
Max sneered and said, "I've absorbed all the spiritual energy on my side, so I want to make a deal with you. If you agree, I'll let go of the matter where you humiliated me during the competition."
"What kind of deal?" Chu Tian finally opened his eyes, placing the remaining spiritual energy crystals back into the system space.
"Give me your spiritual spring, and I can give you five hundred Level 4 spiritual energy crystals as compensation." Max took out a regular spatial bag from his spatial ring.
Chu Tian stood up and reached out to take the spatial bag from Max's hand, smiling as he said, "You can have it, enjoy."
Max didn't expect Chu Tian to agree so readily, but when he turned to look at the pool, he realized he had been fooled. The spiritual energy in the pool had already been absorbed by Chu Tian.
"You deceived me! Give me back my spiritual energy crystals!" Max said, taking a step forward to try to snatch the spatial bag from Chu Tian's hand.
However, Chu Tian easily dodged to the side, sneering, "What's wrong? Can't the young master of the Clinton family keep his word?"
"It's you who tricked me!" Max said and suddenly pulled out an old-fashioned pistol from his pocket, which had a short golden dagger under it.
Max directly raised the pistol and aimed it at Chu Tian's head.
"Give me back my spiritual energy crystals, or I'll shoot you in the head!" Max said, his finger on the trigger of the old pistol.
Chu Tian's face went cold, and his smile disappeared.
"Do you want to die
