"Damn you!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang acting like a child, actually coming to drink the milk, Xia Xueyan slapped him lightly with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. Yet, she didn't push him away, her beautiful eyes lowered, gazing at her beloved man with a look of maternal warmth in her eyes.

Tasting the sweet milk once again, Wang Xiaoqiang felt blissful, his thoughts drifting back to when he had been on Earth, drinking his wife Xia Guifang's milk.

How unpredictable the world is. Now he had ended up in another world, had found a woman, had a child, and was even drinking a woman's milk again.

...

Wang Xiaoqiang stayed in the Crystal Palace for several days.

During those days, he never stopped cultivating, but this so-called cultivation involved dual cultivation with a woman, and it was with the three women he was with, taking turns.

While increasing his cultivation base, he also hoped to impregnate Xi Yuerong and Yus Ziman sooner so he could have milk to drink when the time came.

One day, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent sought an audience with Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang summoned him in.

After the Immortal River Mystic Serpent came in, he reported, "Ancestor, the Immortal River Maze has been completed. Would you like to take a look?"

Wang Xiaoqiang was surprised and asked, "Immortal River Maze? What is that place?"

The Immortal River Mystic Serpent replied, "Ancestor, the Immortal River Maze is a project that you, in your previous life, left unfinished..."

Then, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent recounted all the details about the Immortal River Maze to Wang Xiaoqiang.

It turned out, the Immortal River Maze was constructed by the Supreme Ancestor of the Immortal River in his lifetime to defend against foreign enemies and to protect the interests of the Immortal River for thousands of years.

The maze was made from the riverbed materials of the Immortal River and enriched with Earth Element and Water Element Spiritual Qi from the Five Elements Spirit Spring. Its purpose was to create a labyrinth that could disorient people and also block an Immortal's Divine Sense.

This maze, located at the bottom of the Immortal River, took up about one-tenth of the riverbed. It was incredibly vast and required a huge amount of resources, effort, and time.

Just when the maze was about to be completed, along with the passing of the previous Ancestor of the Immortal River and the loss of the Five Elements Spirit Spring, without any supply of Spiritual Energy, the construction abruptly halted and was henceforth abandoned.

Now, with Wang Xiaoqiang's arrival and the return of the Five Elements Spirit Spring, with the supply of Earth Element and Wood Element Spiritual Qi, construction resumed and had now reached completion.

After hearing the origins of the Immortal River Maze, Wang Xiaoqiang said excitedly, "You mean this Immortal River Maze can get people lost and can block an Immortal's Divine Sense? So even if an Immortal comes, no matter how high their cultivation base, they would still get lost inside..."

"That's right," the Immortal River Mystic Serpent answered. "Because the maze is infused with Earth Element and Water Element Spiritual Qi, and spellcast with special Secret Immortal Talismans, it possesses the ability to block the divine. Even an Immortal Emperor would get lost inside..."

"Ah, excellent, excellent, let's go take a look," Wang Xiaoqiang said happily.

With that, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent led the way, guiding Wang Xiaoqiang to the Immortal River Maze.

Before them stood a palace complex resembling a city, yet even more massive than a city.

What was wondrous was that Runes were flickering on and off on the surface of this vast palace.

Wang Xiaoqiang released his Divine Sense, attempting to probe into the maze, only to find his sense cut off upon reaching the Runes on the palace. It couldn't extend any further.

Gazing at the palace, Wang Xiaoqiang clapped his hands in admiration, "Good, very good! What a maze!"

"Ancestor, does it block your Divine Sense?"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded. "Let's go inside and take a look."

As he was about to step forward, he heard the Mystic Serpent intervening, "Ancestor, you mustn't. To enter the Immortal River Maze, you need to carry a map of the maze. Otherwise, once you enter, there may be no return."

"Ah, where is the map of the maze?"

"The maze map is unique, stored inside a treasure box, with a secret seal placed by the Ancestor. It can only be unlocked with the Ancestor's Five Elements Spirit Spring..." said the Immortal River Mystic Serpent.

"Eh, then go and fetch the treasure box," Wang Xiaoqiang ordered.

"Yes." With a flick of its tail, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent vanished, then reappeared with a treasure box atop its head, bursting with treasure light and auspicious vapors.

Wang Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand, fingers spread wide, making a motion like a snake swallowing its prey, and a force of spiritual suction materialized out of thin air, pulling the treasure box into his hand.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang realized that the flashing region was actually on the lock of the treasure box. Rune symbols flickered on that lock.

Clearly, it was not the lock but the runes that fortified the treasure box.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang released a Spiritual Spring from within his body, which collided with the lock.

When the Five Elements Spirit Spring struck the lock, Five Element Spiritual Energy burst forth. With a loud bump, the runes on the lock were shattered, followed by a click sound, as the lock opened automatically.

Wang Xiaoqiang removed the lock and then opened the treasure box.

Inside the box, there was a map.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out the map and unfolded it to look. Indeed, it was a map of a maze. From the area shown on the map, the vastness of this maze was evident.

"All right, let's go and take a look inside," said Wang Xiaoqiang, as he and the Immortal River Mystic Serpent entered the maze together.

Upon entering the maze, they saw paths and passages everywhere, extending in all directions. Some were dead ends, others could be traversed, with the passable paths possibly turning into a corner and becoming a dead end...

The walls were densely covered with rune symbols, constantly flickering on and off, impermeable to Divine Sense.

Without the guide of the maze map, one could quickly become disoriented or walk into a dead corner.

However, as soon as Wang Xiaoqiang entered the maze, the map in his hand suddenly lit up, just like a computer screen.

Even more wondrous, Wang Xiaoqiang's body appeared as a red dot on the map, like a GPS positioning system, clearly depicting his movements. As he moved, the red dot on the map moved as well.

"Haha, this map is truly marvelous!" Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself with delight.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that in the middle of the maze, there was a palace, resembling an imperial garden.

Thus, he followed the map, heading towards the imperial garden.

Before long, he and the Immortal River Mystic Serpent came upon a palace.

Indeed, it was a palatial palace within the maze, magnificently luxurious and lavish.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang staring at the palace with a perplexed expression, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent thought he had reincarnated and forgotten everything from his previous life, so it reminded him, "Ancestor, this Immortal River Maze was actually constructed by you to evade the siege of powerful enemies, and this palace was built for long-term refuge."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and instructed the Immortal River Mystic Serpent, "Hmm, if powerful enemies invade and we can't defeat them, we can hide in this maze. Right, have someone prepare a large amount of food to be stored here in the palace for emergency use."

"Ancestor, we need the map for that, otherwise we too will get lost," the Immortal River Mystic Serpent timidly said.

"Eh, that's true, never mind then, I will handle this matter," Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand dismissively.

Then, accompanied by the Immortal River Mystic Serpent, he entered the palace and found it as splendid and opulent as the Crystal Palace, quite exceptional indeed.

After a tour around the palace, Wang Xiaoqiang leaped onto the head of the Immortal River Mystic Serpent, and while looking at the map, he directed the serpent through the maze. The Immortal River Mystic Serpent carried Wang Xiaoqiang swiftly, and they quickly exited the maze.

...

One day, as Wang Xiaoqiang was enjoying time with his three women and son, a disciple from Medicine God Valley reported that the Myriad Ghost Ancestor had allied with nine top masters of the Ghost Path to form a coalition, leading all the Ghost Soldiers of the Myriad Ghost Sect to invade Medicine God Valley, with the will to blood cleanse it.

After receiving the news, Wang Xiaoqiang first sent Xia Xueyan mother and son, Huan Qingyi, Yus Ziman as well as the servants from the Immortal River Division to the palace at the center of the Immortal River Maze. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang rushed towards Medicine God Valley. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
