Unusual Rewards

Luo Hong: "..."

Lu Yang's answer shocked Luo Hong so much that she didn't know how to respond for a short time.

She has been the spirit of the secret realm since birth. She has seen all the geniuses of the Demon Race over the past 300,000 years. The current patriarchs of the Demon Race all came here to challenge in their youth.

But no matter which race's prodigy they were, none of them had as great an impact on her as today.

The second test was indeed the ability to lie, but she never expected that someone would fabricate a lie that even fooled themselves.

Or is what the other person is saying really a lie?

With her current knowledge, she couldn't tell whether Lu Yang was telling the truth or lying.

The Immortal Fairy was laughing so hard in the spiritual space that she rolled on the ground, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard she couldn't catch her breath, tears streaming down her face.

"No, no, my stomach hurts from laughing so much, hahaha..."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying hard to hold them back, but when she saw Luo Hong's reaction, she couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Lu Yang looked helplessly at the Immortal Fairy, wondering if it was really necessary.

And Senior Luo Hong, you didn't realize this? Isn't this the very thing this test is about?

Lu Yang always abides by the rules and ensures that he does not exceed the scope of the rules.

Why cheat when you can do well within the rules?

The rules for this level are very simple, and the loopholes left by Senior Luo Hong are obvious.

For example, there is no rule that the seeds must flower, or that they must flower on the fifteenth day, etc.

The only uncertainty is that Lu Yang cannot guarantee whether this test requires him to tell the truth or a lie.

Ultimately, the rules of the second level were set by Senior Luo Hong herself. If Senior Luo Hong doesn't abide by them, what can anyone do to her?

Therefore, Lu Yang made two preparations, preparing an empty flowerpot for the inspection.

If the test is to tell the truth, he will say that he couldn't grow it.

If the test is on lying, he will use the same excuse he just gave.

Luo Hong took two deep breaths, clenched her fists and then relaxed them, almost announcing the result through gritted teeth.

"You... pass!"

It must be admitted that Lu Yang's score on the second level is the highest ever.

Ao Yue and the other Demon Race stared at Lu Yang in shock.

What race does this person belong to? He anticipated that Qin Feng would be guarding the entrance to the Heavenly Ladder when he was on the first level, and he laid an ambush in advance.

They even used this bizarre method to pass the second level.

Where did Jiang Shishi find these two prodigies?

Moreover, based on Ao Yue's understanding of Jiang Shishi, he should have expected her to make the same choice as him in this round. However, the result was far beyond his expectations, and he was eliminated while Jiang Shishi passed.

After the second test ended, Luo Hong forced herself not to think about Lu Yang and focused on fulfilling her duties.

She snapped her fingers, and a huge pile of treasures rained down, forming a small mountain.

Luo Hong pointed at Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Jiang Shishi, and Su Lian'er. "The four of you will proceed to the third level; the rest will be eliminated."

"Considering you've already passed the first level, each of you can choose one treasure as a reward."

"This treasure can only be used by the owner; it cannot be transferred or given to others."

This regulation is to prevent powerful Demon Race from stealing the treasures.

After all, even powerful Demon Race would covet the treasures here.

"By the Immortal Demon, this is the cultivation experience left by our ancient ancestor, which includes the two stages of Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm!" the Jade Rabbit Clan prodigy exclaimed, his two rabbit ears twitching with surprise.

Luo Hong has finished translating these cultivation insights.

"Our ancestor's cultivation insights are also here!" the Qiongqi clan prodigy exclaimed in surprise.

The cultivation experience notes contained the words "metal and stone," which was the name of the High Antiquity Qiongqi.

Not only these two races, but even the cultivation insights of the ancient ancestors of races such as the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan and the Taotie Clan, which were eliminated in the first level, are piled up here, like miscellaneous books, and cannot be found without careful reading.

These ancient ancestors were not all demigods; most were at the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

However, the ancient Tribulation Transcending Stage is different from the current Tribulation Transcending Stage. The ancient Tribulation Transcending Stage can listen to lectures by immortals and observe exchanges between demigods. What they learn and hear is on a completely different level from the current Tribulation Transcending Stage of the demon race!

Even among those at the Tribulation Transcending stage, the ancient Tribulation Transcending stage demon emperors and the current Tribulation Transcending stage demon emperors hold different positions in the hearts of the demon race.

Ao Yue also found the cultivation insights left behind by the ancient ancestor of the Dragon Clan, which shocked him so much that his heart pounded.

The ancient ancestor of the Dragon Clan was renowned as the strongest being below even the immortals, possessing absolute power.

"What is this? A celestial manuscript, <Records of the mating between the Golden Crow Clan and the Jade Rabbit Clan>?" The Jade Rabbit Clan prodigy was so shocked by the title that he almost dropped the book.

Lu Yang: "..."

He remembered that this thing was a research project undertaken by the Nine Heavens Immortal to study the changes of Yin and Yang. "Your Ancient Creation Realm has a lot of things, you even managed to collect this."

Besides various photocopies of ancient books, there are also rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures from High Antiquity times.

For example, there's the longevity herb that can extend lifespan by five hundred years, the spiritual fruit that can eliminate hidden injuries after consumption, and various detoxifying herbs.

In previous years, there have been prodigies from the Demon Race whose relatives or loved ones have been poisoned by High Antiquity toxins and are near death. There are no current methods to cure the poison, so they came to the ancient realm to challenge it and search for High Antiquity herbs that have long been extinct.

This didn't happen this time.

"These things..." The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly, sitting on the tree trunk and swinging back and forth.

What's wrong with these things?

"These things don't seem like something ordinary Demon Race could collect."

"Many of the cultivation insights belong to demigods. Ordinary demigods don't have the audacity to ask other demigods for their cultivation insights."

"And this book, <Mating Records of the Golden Crow Clan and the Jade Rabbit Clan>, is the research result of the Nine Heavens Immortal. Only the four of us were given copies; even the Half-Immortal didn't get one."

"Who built this ancient realm?" the immortal fairy wondered.

Lu Yang was startled upon hearing this.

The Immortal Fairy's words imply that this ancient realm did not originate from Demon Race at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, nor even from a half-immortal, but from one of the Four Immortals of High Antiquity?!

"Forget it, there's still a third level. Try your best to pass the levels; maybe you'll find a clue on the third level."

"What if we still can't find any clues?"

The Immortal Fairy revealed a radiant smile, her eight teeth perfectly aligned, and gave a thumbs-up. "Then let's find a secluded spot and let this immortal give this little brat named Luo Hong a good beating!"

Lu Yang prayed that he could find clues on the third floor.

The Demon Race prodigies selected their desired treasures, but Ao Yue did not choose the cultivation insights left by the ancient ancestor. Instead, he asked for a spiritual fruit that could heal hidden injuries.

Ao Yue and the others were teleported out of the ancient realm.

Outside the ancient border, the atmosphere was heavy, with all the Demon Race staring intently at the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan.

The Ancient Realm of Creation can only be entered once in a lifetime, and without receiving any rewards, they listened to Qin Feng's nonsense and eliminated all the geniuses of the Demon Race Clan Alliance.

Qin Feng hid behind the elder, trembling with fear, terrified that if he showed his face, he would be skinned alive.

Seeing Ao Yue and the others teleport out, the Phoenix Clan elder counted the number of people and breathed a sigh of relief; Jiang Shishi was still inside.

Jiang Shishi and Ao Yue are about the same level, so I thought that if Ao Yue was eliminated, Jiang Shishi would be eliminated as well.

The third senior sister said calmly, "See? I told you that joining forces with us wouldn't be unfair to you."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
