My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 

The corner of Nash’s lips curved upward. “Ever heard of the art of lightness?” 

He strode away after finishing his sentence. 

Heidi was a naturally curious girl, and she turned to Melody, “Melody… Do you also practice the art of lightness?” 

“Nash’s true energy has formed an ever-flowing system within his body! 

“Such martial artists can leap onto roofs and vault over walls easily. They usually also possess incredible speed because they utilize the energy within their bodies to reduce the weight of their bodies, which usually would bog them down! 

“Forming a system as intricate as the one in Nash’s body would require a solid source of true energy, as well as excellent control over the true energy! 

“I can do it, but not for extended periods!” 

Melody’s lips quivered as she explained things to Heidi. 

A look of admiration appeared on Heidi’s face. “I want to learn martial arts too…” 

Melody ruffled her hair. “I can teach you!” 

Nash was already several hundred yards away from them. 

The sludge underneath his feet had started bubbling. 

He noticed the mud on his left was flowing forward while the sludge on his left trickled backward. 

After activating his Third Eye, he noticed two slowly moving stone steps buried in the sludge. 

One was on the left, and the other was on the right. 

One moved in a clockwise direction while the other moved in a counter-clockwise direction. 

The steps were about eight miles in length but only 20 inches wide. 

There was another solid 50 feet of sludge located beneath the steps. 

Several creatures that resembled mudfish were squirming around in the mud. Their mouths were filled with sharp-looking teeth. 

Nash returned to the group and told Bradley what he had seen. 

Melody crossed her arms over her chest and asked, “So, can we use those steps to help us cross the swamp?” 

“Yes. This labyrinth must have been built based on the sayings of the heavenly eight-angle trigram, and we’re located in the southeast section of the divine trigram, which mentioned having a swamp within it. 

“That’s why there’s a swamp in this labyrinth… 

“Those stone steps form the ley lines of light and darkness, and the trigram is formed from two light ley lines and two dark ley lines. The ley lines of darkness are the shorter horizontal 

lines in the diagram! 

“It’s also how we can exit and enter the trigram!” 

Bradley tried giving them a comprehensive explanation, but everyone merely stared at him with confused looks on their faces. 

Nash laughed. “It’s alright, you don’t have to understand what Mr. Bradley is talking about. Just do as he says!” 

He was a Path Master. 

He had a thorough understanding of the pre-heavenly trigram, the post-heavenly trigram, and the decan trigram. 

The heavenly eight-angle trigram was also known as the post-heavenly eight-angle trigram. 

After listening to Bradley’s explanation, he was able to picture the general structure of the labyrinth in his mind. 

The trigram’s eight angles were where the eight passage graves leading to the tomb of the King of Medicine were located. 

If a nine-box grid were placed on top of the structure, the main tomb would be in the middle of that grid. 

Bradley also talked about the mudfish Nash had seen. “Those mudfish-lookalikes that have teeth in their mouths are called eel-tailed catfish. They’re the descendants of catfish and eels, and their teeth contain a deadly poison.
