The Long Years
Whoosh! Lin Mu became a streak of light and sped toward the land floating in the void.
After flying for a long while, he finally descended onto that small patch of suspended land.
At a glance—
The entire small landmass was bare, without any clutter. Yet many ancient words surfaced across its surface.
The content was simple—
"The eighth floor of Wu Qi Tower is the final hurdle of the title mission."
"Observe the surrounding void to obtain a secret technique."
"If you can master it, you may reach the summit and enter the ninth floor of Wu Qi Tower."
"If you fail, your memories will be erased, and you will leave Wu Qi Tower."
Once Lin Mu finished reading, all the ancient words on the land vanished. He immediately raised his head to look into the surrounding void. At that moment, enormous characters began appearing throughout the void in every direction. Each character was like a star, linked to the others. The countless characters formed what seemed like a continuous scroll, with no pauses or sentence breaks, every word connected to the next.
There was no way to tell which character was the beginning and which was the end.
"No beginning, no end. How am I supposed to read this?" Lin Mu frowned slightly.
It was like taking an article made from an entire dictionary, scattering it apart, and asking someone to put it back together.
But if they had never even seen the article before, where could they begin?
"To cultivate the secret technique, I first need to sort out its complete contents. I'll take it slowly." Lin Mu calmed himself.
Countless characters floated throughout the void, while Lin Mu stood upon the suspended patch of land.
Time passed, and nine days went by
