Five magic circles in the labyrinth!

Of course, these were all just Qin Feng's guesses.

Regardless…

This Dreamweaving Well challenge shouldn't pose any irresistible threat to Qin Feng; after all, if it did, Asha Hess would have surely warned him before leaving.

"Since Asha Hess didn't mention it, it means there's no major issue with this challenge."

"I just need to… do my best to pass the challenge!"

Qin Feng barely moved, instead relying on his Original Shadow Perception to sense the situation within the entire White Jade Labyrinth.

One after another, the afterimages of the Dream Illusion God were swept by Qin Feng's perception…

The edges of their bodies were in a fluid state, with 160 different 3D patterns constantly circling those giant humanoid butterflies…

"This afterimage has 79 identical patterns."

"The patterns on this afterimage seem to be all different…"

"This one has 24 identical patterns again…"

Even with Original Shadow Perception, Qin Feng was becoming increasingly dizzy.

There were simply too many Dream Illusion God afterimages in this place!

They were flying along certain routes within the White Jade Labyrinth, seemingly following a pattern, yet also appearing random.

"No."

"Not this one."

"This one isn't it either."

Qin Feng remained calm and searched one by one, but he soon gave up.

Because…

Comparing them one by one like this was too slow!

It couldn't be that he had to rely solely on luck to find that specific Dream Illusion God afterimage, could it?

"There must be a way."

"It can't be just searching by brute force…"

Qin Feng felt that some kind of spirit-type effect was constantly influencing him within this space.

However, because Qin Feng's spirit attribute was high enough, that influence was temporarily blocked… Qin Feng didn't know if the spirit-type effect would grow stronger over time, eventually exceeding his spirit attribute's ability to resist.

"I wonder what that spirit-type effect is?"

Suddenly, Qin Feng felt a bit curious.

So he gave it a try…

He found that he could summon his mounts or pets.

He simply summoned Osirio: "Osirio, are you seeing any hallucinations or anything unusual?"

Suddenly summoned into the White Jade Labyrinth, Osirio was momentarily confused: "Huh? Boss, I don't feel… ah, wait!"

Just then, a Dream Illusion God afterimage floated past the corridor ahead.

Osirio's eyes widened instantly: "My Queen! My Queen! That's this dragon's Queen!"

With those words, the fellow immediately flapped his wings, trying to pounce toward it.

Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately returned him to the mount space, feeling a bit embarrassed: "It really is a hallucination… It seems I need to hurry up; otherwise, as the hallucination's influence grows stronger, even I might not be able to resist it…"

Although Qin Feng was a bit curious about what he would see in the hallucination…

Compared to that curiosity, he much preferred passing the challenge…

It was easy to imagine.

Once one started seeing hallucinations in this White Jade Labyrinth, it meant the challenge was a guaranteed failure.

Ten minutes into the White Jade Labyrinth, Qin Feng's Original Shadow Perception spread even further!

At the same time, he began to move around the vicinity.

He finally figured out that the White Jade Labyrinth was an ultra-large-scale architectural complex with a radius of 1,200 kilometers.

Within this massive complex, white jade walls divided it into an extremely intricate labyrinth, where five magic circles emitting pink light also existed.

Qin Feng didn't know yet what those five magic circles were for.

He saw some Dream Illusion God afterimages pass over those magic circles, but there was no reaction.

"Since these five magic circles exist, they must be a crucial condition for clearing the challenge."

"What could it be?"

Qin Feng frowned.

At this moment, he sensed another 'Blade of Barrier Breaking' appearing nearby.

And in the next room, there was a pink light orb labeled with '+69' in Ancient God Language.

"Is this the thing that extends the challenge time?"

"Just touching that pink light orb will extend the challenge time…"

Qin Feng wasn't too careless.

Using his Original Shadow Perception, he quickly calculated the shortest route through the labyrinth and flew over.

First, he pocketed the second Blade of Barrier Breaking.

Then he summoned Grey Chicken and had him touch the pink light orb…

——

【Congratulations, the challenge time has been extended by 69 seconds!】

——

When Qin Feng heard the system notification, he finally breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, it wasn't a trap.

After Grey Chicken touched the pink light orb, his entire body was stained pink. He complained resentfully, "I hate this color!"

Qin Feng nodded: "Alright, I got it. Go back for now."

Qin Feng tossed him back into the pet space.

A few minutes later, finding another pink light orb, he threw Grey Chicken out again, tossing him directly onto the orb.

——

【Congratulations, the challenge time has been extended by 48 seconds!】

——

Grey Chicken: "…It's over, I'm even pinker."

Qin Feng: "It's fine. From now on, I won't call you Grey Chicken; I'll call you Pink Chicken then."

Grey Chicken: "Your Majesty? Can you be a bit more civilized? When you say 'chicken', don't say…"

Qin Feng: "Get lost."

…

Fifteen minutes passed, and Qin Feng felt that the memory interference he was experiencing seemed to be getting more severe.

However, this memory interference appeared to be periodic and regional.

A pattern he had already forgotten would suddenly come back to him after a while…

"I'll keep forgetting new patterns, but the ones I forgot before will suddenly be remembered again…"

"These spirit-type methods are simply terrifying; as expected of the Dream Illusion God…"

This was the most basic test in the Dream Illusion God's challenge!

One: Hallucinations.

Two: Memory.

"So, it uses spirit-based means to control players so they can only remember a portion of the 3D patterns at once…"

"Fortunately, I already made a complete replica of all the patterns in the Judgment Land, so I'm not affected by this memory control."

This way, Qin Feng could understand.

As long as one could remember all the patterns, there was a possibility of passing…

The most critical part was still the time!

The 3D patterns Qin Feng replicated in the Judgment Land were most useful for saving him a lot of time; if he forgot something, he could just send his consciousness back for a look. For anyone else, this would be a massive problem.

After Qin Feng had been in the White Jade Labyrinth for over 20 minutes.

His Original Shadow Perception sensed that a third 'Blade of Barrier Breaking' had spawned in a certain room.

At first, he didn't realize anything.

But when he habitually recorded the time, he discovered that the appearance time of this third Blade of Barrier Breaking was actually 21 minutes and 57 seconds after he started the challenge!

"This timing is a bit problematic…"

Qin Feng immediately realized that the situation had changed.
