Climbing the Mountain
In Yi Xuan's eyes, Fu Qianqiu Junior Sister Mu's current state was clearly out of place compared to the previous losers!
Despite its small size, Fu Qianqiu's small boat moved with remarkable ease amidst the wind and waves.
The waves that could have torn the giant dragon boat to shreds turned into playful splashes when they hit his boat.
Yi Xuan was dumbfounded.
As for the lightning strikes from the sky, they seemed to have eyes when facing Fu Qianqiu, and all of them perfectly avoided his ship.
With the addition of the enormous sails on Fu Qianqiu's ship, a slight breeze propelled it towards the tower at an astonishing speed.
As for Junior Sister Mu's enormous dragon boat, the waves on the lake were not as lenient as they were towards Fu Qianqiu, with terrifying giant waves crashing against her hull one after another.
Fortunately, Junior Sister Mu's dragon boat was very sturdy, and even the biggest waves on the lake did not cause it any damage.
Meanwhile, Junior Sister Mu's control over the dragon boat was extremely precise. The huge dragon boat kept turning left and right in the lake, avoiding all the incoming lightning strikes.
In the end, Junior Sister Mu also safely reached the other side!
Seeing the two disappear at the tower entrance, Yi Xuan quickened his pace.
The 100-meter-long destroyer remained oblivious to the raging waves on the lake.
No matter how strong the wind and waves were, they seemed unable to damage the destroyer in the slightest. Apart from producing a huge roar as they crashed against the surface of this steel behemoth, they caused no other effects!
Nuclear power also provides the destroyer with a very stable speed, allowing it to maintain high-speed navigation even in rough seas.
As for the lightning strikes from the sky, Yi Xuan had even less to worry about.
Do you really think the lightning rods and lightning protection nets on modern warships are just for show?
Unless the lightning strikes are too strong, they can all be conducted into the sea through grounding, thus preventing damage to ships.
Thus, those behind witnessed a completely different approach from that of Fu Qianqiu and Junior Sister Mu.
Under the control of No. 01, the destroyer beneath his feet was like a reckless brute, charging recklessly between giant waves and stray lightning.
In the end, they reached the other side unscathed.
After piloting the Black Tortoise onto the land where the tower was located, Yi Xuan decisively put the destroyer away, then pushed open the tower's door and went inside.
As Yi Xuan stepped into the tower, he felt a sense of disorientation!
Compared to the previous raging waves, the inside of the tower was eerily quiet at this moment.
What came into view was an empty hall.
Fu Qianqiu Junior Sister Mu were not present.
This made Yi Xuan sigh that the two of them were indeed invincible in terms of luck and Root Bone, even surpassing them in technology.
At this moment, Yi Xuan also began to consider something: why did Junior Sister Mu's Root Bone transformation result in a giant dragon boat?
It should be noted that Junior Sister Mu's Spirit Root was only Fifth-Grade Spirit Root Spirit Root before, which would only be considered average even in the Azure Cloud Sect.
In the Cultivation Realm, they would be absolutely commonplace!
Such Root Bone could actually transform into a giant dragon boat? Yi Xuan would never believe it!
But it is true; Junior Sister Mu's giant dragon boat is still vivid in my mind.
Yi Xuan really wanted to ask her how she did it.
However, at this moment, Yi Xuan was attracted by the countless Jade Slip displayed in the hall in front of him.
These Jade Slip slips completely covered the entire hall, with one Jade Slip placed on each stone brick on average.
At the same time, that familiar whispering voice appeared again:
"Ranked third, take three portions. What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be, you can't force!"
According to the whisperer, Yi Xuan could choose any three of these Jade Slip to take with him.
Therefore, Yi Xuan immediately began to examine the contents of these Jade Slip.
After reviewing more than a dozen documents, Yi Xuan finally understood.
These Jade Slip contain either cultivation Cultivation Method or secret arts, and according to the descriptions, they are all extremely powerful. At least the dozen or so Jade Slip that Yi Xuan had seen before were all stronger in power than those obtained by the Mystic Snow Pavilion.
It is evident that the Cultivation Method and secret arts contained in these Jade Slip are indeed of a very high level.
However, Yi Xuan was in a dilemma. It wasn't that he didn't know how to choose, but rather that these Cultivation Method and secret arts all had requirements regarding cultivation level.
Even if Yi Xuan took it, he wouldn't need it at all.
Ultimately, the only options besides handing it over to someone else are to exchange it for other resources.
However, Yi Xuan also noticed that among the Jade Slip scattered on the ground, there were only five empty slots.
In other words, Fu Qianqiu Junior Sister Mu took a total of five portions!
How is that possible? I, who came in third place, can take three portions? And the two of them combined only took five portions?
It seems someone didn't take it!
At that moment, Yi Xuan suddenly remembered the whispers that had appeared each time.
So he gritted his teeth, gave up the reward he was about to receive, and instead stepped into a portal of light to the side!
As Yi Xuan passed through the portal of light, the first thing he saw was three towering mountains directly in front of him!
At the same time, the whisper appeared again, "One times the value of Stone Mountain, ten times that of Copper Mountain, a hundred times that of Gold Mountain, with Divine Sense as your staff, bravely scale the peak!"
It seems this test is on the cultivators' Divine Sense, but Yi Xuan doesn't understand what "one times, ten times, and a hundred times" means!
Is it through the rewards obtained later? Or the difficulty of completing the game? Or both?
Yi Xuan guessed it should be the last one, where a hundred times the difficulty would result in a hundred times the reward, which would make sense.
Looking up, I saw that Junior Sister Mu and Fu Qianqiu had already crawled quite a distance with the help of crutches.
Fu Qianqiu chose Copper Mountain, which is ten times the amount.
Junior Sister Mu chose the Stone Mountain, which was worth one time the price.
The canes in their hands looked crystal clear, and the flowing spirit on them truly seemed to possess Divine Sense.
From a distance, Fu Qianqiu's movements were not smooth at the moment; he probably couldn't even take a single step without the support of his cane.
In contrast, Junior Sister Mu, leaning on her cane, moved with surprising agility, already nearing the summit.
There was one thing Yi Xuan didn't quite understand: since Junior Sister Mu had conjured a giant dragon boat in the Lake of Fate, her Divine Sense should be quite strong, so why did she choose Stone Mountain twice the size?
Furthermore, she gave up the reward when choosing the reward in the first level!
This, combined with previous speculations about Junior Sister Mu being possessed, suggests that...
Yi Xuan believed that Junior Sister Mu's choices must have a deeper meaning, so he also prepared to climb the Stone Mountain!
But just as Yi Xuan was heading towards the Stone Mountain, he found that no matter what he did, he could not get close to the Stone Mountain, and the same was true for the Copper Mountain.
Ultimately, Yi Xuan had no choice but to select Gold Mountain!
Thus, with no other choice, Yi Xuan went to Gold Mountain and, guided by a mysterious power, began to construct a walking stick with his Divine Sense.
