Chapter 388 Test for All
Xuan Meiji actually didn’t utter any wild words.
Only two days later, the familiar and seductive figure emerged from the reappearing stone room, and… remained intact!
When everyone saw this, they subconsciously looked at the stone tablet, on which they saw the position of the fifth level.
“Hahahaha… Fellow Pract.i.tioner Xuan, you are really amazing! I guess that you have already got the reward of this level.”
Heaven Rover said with relief, and showed kindness but no jealousy on his face. With a flash in Xuan Meiji’s charming phoenix eyes, she laughed, “Senior Heaven, why do you always keep an eye on me? What I have got may not be worth half of the value of hundreds of celestial stones that Brother Huang has got. If Brother Huang wants, I’m willing to exchange what I have got for 150 celestial stones. How about it?”
As soon as Xuan Meiji said this, the tall and thin man who had pa.s.sed the first level before suddenly changed his face to become dark. After a moment of silence, he slowly uttered, “You… want to die?!”
Xuan Meiji looked scared, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. She said with gloat, “Brother Huang… you’re really horrible. I just want to make a deal. Since you are unwilling, just forget it…”
While she was speaking, she glanced at other people. Seeing that the greedy was faintly manifested on the others’ faces, she couldn’t help but sneer.
Of course, she didn’t really want to make a deal with this tall and thin man. Those who pa.s.sed the level could easily get informed about other people who also pa.s.sed the level, and what she had got was also precious.
If she was exposed by Snow Child, or someone who had pa.s.sed the fifth or sixth level, the situation would become extremely dangerous.
In this way, she could only act first!
If she made the tall and thin man become the target of public criticism, her pressure would be much less!
“b.i.t.c.h, how dare you!”
After noticing his own situation, the tall and thin man had the coldness in his eyes and turned around to run away without saying a word!
“So decisive?!”
Xuan Meiji was stunned that her plan had failed. Her beautiful face turned dark slightly. The others also saw the tall and thin man disappearing in the distance, with a look of regret.
No one had expected that the tall and thin man would be so decisive to run straight away.
In a hurry, he took the lead. No one on the scene could catch his speed.
Perhaps, even Su Li could only almost catch his speed. However, under the premise of falling behind, there would be no possibility of catching him up.
“300 celestial stones…”
Su Li’s eyes flashed. There really were celestial stones in the cave, but the number of 300 was not enough to arouse her interest.
But at this moment, w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t help but show the excitement on her face.
“Celestial stone! It turned out to be the celestial stone!”
w.a.n.g Yu got the inheritance of strange encounters by chance and had a broad knowledge. Thus, she certainly knew the function of celestial stone, a practice resource purer and gentler than the best spiritual stone!
If the best spiritual stone was compared to a normal jade, the celestial stone would be the king of jade, the imperial emerald!
Pure nimbus made it easier for people to break the bottleneck. Each celestial stone was ten thousand times more valuable than the best spiritual stone. Such a treasure was actually priceless and hard to find!
“300 celestial stones! d.a.m.n it! Why it wasn’t me who pa.s.sed the first level? If I had pa.s.sed, I should have immediately reached Yuanying Realm, with the celestial stones!”
w.a.n.g Yu looked excited and full of regret. If she knew it, she would have tried her best to pa.s.s the first level!
“Forget it. Since Fellow Pract.i.tioner Huang does not want to be with me, then we will split up. You don’t have to be discouraged. We have only tried three levels. After we find the remaining three levels, you can try yourselves. With the greatest efforts, there definitely will be someone who can get what he or she wants. If you are not satisfied with the reward, I can also vouch for you to exchange to rea.s.sure your worries.”
The voices of Heaven Rover sounded at the right time, like a gentle spring flowing through the heart. With the restlessness relieved, everyone had enthusiasm in their eyes.
“Senior Heaven is right. We have numerous opportunities! It is really short-sighted of Senior Huang to leave the group!”
“Aye!”
“We are not willing to be with such a rat buddy!”
“…”
Everyone was surprisingly consistent with each other in expressing their views on the tall and thin man, and even w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t help but echo the criticism, which attracted Heaven Rover’s eyes.
After that, Snow Child entered the altar. In less than two days, the snow-white figure reappeared.
Judging from the period of time, his strength was obviously higher than that of Xuan Meiji.
Back to the crowd, Snow Child was still expressionless. After a glance at Xuan Meiji, he looked at Heaven Rover and said extremely simply.
“The fifth level.”
Heaven Rover was out of thought for a while, and then began to lead the way. Since Snow Child didn’t want to tell what Xuan Meiji’s reward was, he couldn’t forcibly ask.
Xuan Meiji heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this, but she didn’t dare to relax completely. She had said before that what she got was at the price of 150 celestial stones. Now, Huang Shan suddenly escaped and Snow Child’s strength was above her. It was hard to guarantee that others in the team would not want something from her.
…
With the guidance, it was much easier for Heaven Rover to find the fifth level. It only took them half of the day to arrive at the place where the next stone tablet was.
Unlike the previous two, the place for taking the test this time was no longer an altar, but a palace.
After reading the content on the stone tablet at a glance, Heaven Rover laughed and said loudly, “Everyone, this level is available to all of us!”
Everyone was shocked by his words. Heaven Rover explained the meaning of the stone tablet soon.
“This level is designed to test talent! As cultivators, we are bound to act against the G.o.d. Without talent, we cannot do anything! As my descendants, even if you get the practice methods of my inheritance, you definitely cannot practice without qualified talents. So… if you cannot be recognized by me at this level, you will lose the qualification for inheritance!”
“I have cultivated tens of thousands of years and collected countless practice methods, including three million low-grade practice methods, five hundred thousand middle-grade practice methods, one hundred and eighty high-grade practice methods, three top-grade practice methods, and one nature’s punishment school of holy methods!”
“The practice conditions of holy methods are extremely harsh. In order to select the suitable descendants, I specially exchanged three top-grade practice methods for a simplified version of nature’s punishment school of holy methods, which can also be called the pseudo holy methods! Whoever masters the method is qualified to take the next test and inherit my orthodoxy!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Heaven Rover said, even Snow Child who had been silent all the time.
“Gos.h.!.+”
“The top-grade holy methods of the ancient cultivation age!”
“What I am practicing now is not even the high-grade practice methods, not to mention the top holy methods. Are there really 180 high-grade practice methods in the cave?!”
“How powerful were the ancient pract.i.tioners?”
“Nature’s punishment school? Is it possible that there are many schools of ancient holy methods? I haven’t even heard of one!”
“…”
The fierce discussion turned the palace into a noisy market in the blink of an eye. Heaven Rover did not stop them, but stared at the stone tablet with his fiery eyes.
“I have waited on this for a long time! Nature’s punishment holy methods, the inheritance of Immortal Cang Lei, can only be mine!”
“Ahem… ahem”, Immortal Bingshu coughed violently, with an abnormal blush on his sallow face, which showed the extreme turmoil and a bit of… shocking in his heart.
“Holy methods? Is there really a school of holly methods to inherit in the desolate Jiuzhou Region? It is clearly recorded in the ancient cla.s.sics that Jiuzhou Region was a sea in ancient times, where no one lived at all. Is it possible that all those records are false?!”
Stuck in self-doubt, Immortal Bingshu still had the burning eyes. As the top prodigy of the sect, he was the strongest in either talent or temper. He could definitely pa.s.s the fifth level and became one of the candidates for the inheritance of the cave!
When Immortal Bingshu felt an upsurge of emotion, he couldn’t help but look at Heaven Rover, with jealousy and doubts flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
Being arranged for the fifth level was a coincidence or…
“Junior sister apprentice, junior sister apprentice, why are they all so excited like getting possessed? What are holy methods? What mental method does our Huajian Sect cultivate?”
There was no doubt that Jin Ying and Su Li were the calmest persons on that moment now. The former knew nothing, and the latter… didn’t care.
Su Li glanced at Jin Ying, who was full of curiosity, thought for a moment, and replied quite seriously, “The holy methods should be very powerful. The methods we practice are middle-grade at most.”
“Huh? So weak!”
Jin Ying wrinkled her face, and immediately squeezed her fists and hummed, “Then I would also like to practice the holy methods!”
As soon as she said this, the young pract.i.tioners around her all laughed secretly, they wouldn’t take the words of a little girl seriously.
Su Li couldn’t help but smile, wondering what the nature’s punishment school of holy methods was.
This so-called “nature’s punishment” was probably a kind of cultivation school of the ancient holy methods, the same as “Chuangxing Path”. However, it was impossible to contact Black Lotus now, so she did not know which of these two schools was stronger.
However, there was one thing for sure!
Cang Lei, the owner of the cave, was by no means a n.o.body in ancient times!
While everyone was still discussing intensively, a low and heavy male voice suddenly came from the palace which had been peaceful.
“This palace is used for the practice of the tester. Your practice methods will be revealed at the place where the futon is located. If you can master the practice method within a month, it will be given to you as a gift of destiny. If you can’t…, I will also reward you with a practice method according to the level of your cultivation as a gift of encounter!”
Suddenly, the palace was stuck in a silence. Everyone was shocked, “Oh, my, my… Is Immortal Cang Lei still alive?!”
“It is impossible. The first stone tablet clearly stated that Immortal Cang Lei was already dead!”
“Aye!”
Hearing someone’s reb.u.t.tal, Heaven Rover’s brows also stretched out, “There may be the means left by Immortal Cang Lei in this palace, but not himself in the flesh.”
As soon as he finished his words, futons appeared everywhere in the palace in the right number of people entering the palace at this moment. The pract.i.tioners immediately stopped looking for the futons and showed the eagerness in their eyes.
“Everyone!”
Heaven Rover took a deep breath, “Let’s get started! Whether you can succeed in the future or not depends on today!”
