Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

At this moment, Sam is currently roaming around the maze with his energy vision on as the Saber Monarch followed him along with his incessant chatter.

"So, you seemed to be quite young? How old are you? Fifty? Sixty?"

"I forgot."

"You forgot your age? Then you are dumber than I thought. Then why are you bragging about taking me away from this maze? It is too bad now that you are stuck here. How about I kill you when you wish to die. Trust me, I am very powerful, So you would die in a second."

"If I decide to die, then it must be because of your annoying mouth and at that time, I would surely wish of another way than to give you the satisfaction of giving me the service by killing me with your saber. Now shut up, your mouth is not exactly helping."

Sam said as he arrived at a corner within the maze and checked the walls and the ground keenly. Now that he came in and observed the energy walls with the energy vision, he has a whole new understanding of the formation.

His first targets for observation are obviously the previously discovered nodes.

No matter how much he tried with those nodes, he couldn't replicate this maze formation, but there are a bunch of by products within his experiments and one of them is dome and the other one is the perimeter for spiritual energy negation.

These findings are one of the reasons that he came into the maze to check out the formation.

By the end of it, not only would he learn a lot more about the formations, he would also be able to add a few tricks into his own arsenal.

And as he checked the first node, he already found why he failed.

Because, what appeared like a single node from his perspective when he saw it with naked eye, is actually a combination of a few multiple nodes.

There are four nodes within this spot extremely closely to the point they would be mistaken as a single node when they were observed with normal spiritual sense. But as he observed with the energy vision, he managed to distinguish them and found something.

These four nodes are not only acting as nodes for four different formations within the maze, they are also acting as a combined node for the dome surrounding the maze.

As he already have a basic understanding of what causing the dome he could figure this much out. So, he took out a scroll and marked the four nodes on the spot and took out another node to mark the combined to have a better idea on how this works.

Then he moved to the second node and got the similar results, but instead of four nodes, there are five. And the next one has three. After checking out five of these nodes, Sam suddenly remembered something else.

The energy concentration of each smaller individual node is different. This is like a gigantic puzzle with a lot of layers placed on each other like an onion, the more layers he took out, the more he felt like weeping because the more troublesome it got to deduce, but he is also sure that by the end the onion is the one that will be torn into pieces while the person who peeled it will eventually stop crying.

So, he started peeling the onion without a second thought.

As he moved all over the maze on harbinger conveniently, the saber monarch seemed to have been offended by the fact that he has to walk.

"Where did you get this? I want one."

"I made it myself."

"Make one for me too then."

"Impossible."

"Why is that? You might not know I am filthy rich. My fortune accounts to a few billion spirit stones mind you."

"Do you know my previous month's income?" Sam asked as he looked at the man casually.

"How much?"

"One hundred and twenty billion spirit stones."

The Saber monarch became stunned for a second and stuttered as he spoke.

"How… How much?"

"You heard it right. So, stop bragging and let me do my job."

"You are lying."

Sam turned around and said.

"Do I look like I need to lie?" And this sentence suddenly silenced the Saber monarch as he thought of the large amount of spirit stones.

Sam finally heaved a sigh of relief. For a braggart this is the best way to buy some breating space and time.

So, he peacefully got all the marks from already discovered nodes.

Now he has to discover the new nodes, which is not that difficult since he is already in the formation. But unfortunately once again, the chatter box opened.

The Saber monarch looked at the markings on the scrolls and the drawings Sam is making and said.

"What are these markings? Are these scribbles going to get us out of here?"

Sam didn't reply and just went on drawing and experimenting as he used spirit stones as smaller scale nodes and kept on simulating different formations. He cannot go into the divine dimension as he cannot trust this guy at the moment. So, he could only adjust with this.

For two weeks Sam worked without a wink of rest as he endured the incessant chatter and annoyance.

As he made formations up on formations, he began to understand many things. And the first conclusion is that the major nodes he found from outside are not even half.

There are around fifty-six major nodes that are responsible for the dome, the perimeter with energy negation and finally the healing of the formation.

And each of these major nodes are created by the combination of smaller nodes and the minimum number of smaller nodes is only three with the maximum being seven. And half of these smaller nodes change positions with every mid-night shift.

They exchange positions within themselves without any new positions that means the only thing that changes is the energy concentration of the node not the location of the node, but still the dome and the perimeter remains the same but the internal formations change.

The internal formations created by these small nodes are around three hundred and twenty four out of which half of them are responsible for the layout of the energy walls in the maze and the rest are there are creating the illusions, the torture, the pressure and other aspects of the maze.

Even though he managed to figure this out, Sam wasn't able to find one missing link that could help him crack the formation. That one link. The core of the formation. He found the energy source, he found the nodes, the moving nodes, the rest of the operation, the energy circulation. He found everything except for the goddamn core which is holding him back from simulating.

Even with his current cultivation level, he could not see the energy lines or circulation network directly with the energy vision. This became a nightmare.

His obsession with solving the puzzle and his constant desire to crack this made him feel frustrated. The experience and endurance he accumulated with years of research, war, killing and training are not enough for him to stay calm.

The mental strength he was always proud of suddenly appeared puny and futile.

Even with all the frustration he is going through, Sam had to endure one thing which is completely unrelated to the formation. The blabbering. At first it was still okay. But as the blabbering went on and on, he couldn't take it anymore at one point and after these two weeks, the saber monarch threw a last straw to break the camel's back.

As Sam is looking through the designs he made to identify the core, he entered another dead block in his experiment and tore the scroll. At this moment the saber monarch came and said sarcastically.

"I knew it, you are just a braggart. Look at all the scrolls and the Ink. They are a waste. Who are you trying to impress by doing this? Even a genius like me cannot do anything to this formation, what can you do?"

Sam felt extremely frustrated and took out the bug to contact the Five-Elemental King. He set the volume of the bug to the max and said.

"This is Sam. Currently, I am extremely frustrated and I cannot stand this blabbermouth.

Divide all the explosives I left for you equally and drop each share into the spirit stone mines."

"Why? What happened?" Five-Elemental King said in an anxious tone.

"Nothing just do as I said and contact me later on."

After three hours the Five elemental King contacted him once again.

Sam then turned the volume of the bug completely on and looked at the saber monarch before saying so that Agar and Five-Elemental King could also hear it.

"I am working my ass off trying to figure out how to get the hell out of this. But as days passed, I am having second thoughts on whether it is worth it to make this much effort on this guy. If you so much as say a word until I figure this out. I will remotely detonate every explosive and the whole formation would explode. You will die on the spot."

"Come on, Sam. You are not going to commit suicide along with me?"

"Those are my explosives, I have ways to save myself. But you would definitely die. If you think I am bluffing then try it, but before that ask Agar why half of the Solar Fragment clan is wiped out."
