166 Critical Temptation (1/2)
Zhao Feng found that the wooden room was about 100 yards from where he was and in between was the abyss.
Under normal circumstances,, those at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm couldn’t fly. They can float in the air for 100 yards but the wind on top of the abyss was so strong that even cultivators at the 3rd Sky would be ripped to shreds in a few breaths.
At this moment, the 3 Core disciples all stood on the edge of the black and golden road, but they didn’t make any moves.
The pupil of Zhao Feng’s left eye slightly contracted as he inspected the skeleton and the items close up.
“The skeleton has been here for a long time, but the bones are still faintly glowing, meaning that this person’s cultivation was at the True Spirit Realm or higher when he/she lived.”
Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled.
It wasn’t just him who saw this, the 3 Core disciples also saw this.
The items had been left behind for a very long time, but they hadn’t rusted or broken, which meant that they were not simple.
Broken bamboo sword, Jade ornament, ancient books…
The materials of these items were all unique and like the bones, they weren’t worn.
“If I could get the items next to the corpse, it wouldn’t matter even if I failed this trial. The items left behind by a cultivator at the True Spirit Realm may be Spiritual class skills or Spiritual weapons… ”
Quan Chen was extremely excited and he couldn’t contain his greed.
Everyone looked expectantly at the items next to the skeleton and Zhao Feng soon came to a conclusion:
1. The broken bamboo sword should be a Spiritual weapon and even if it had no spirit inside, it was still on par with an Elite class Mortal weapon at least.
2. The material of the jade ornament was extremely unique and it seemed to have a power flowing around it. The price of it might not be as much as a Spiritual weapon, but it shouldn’t be much off.
As for the 2 old books, no one knew precisely what the class was, but with the skeleton’s cultivation, before he/she died, it should be a Peak class Mortal skill at the minimum.
These items might even surpass the rewards from the 1st place of the Trial.
Even Zhao Feng had the urge to grab them, but his eyes twinkled and sighed: “Go!”
Lin Fan didn’t hesitate at all and he followed Zhao Feng.
“Indeed, even those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm didn’t have full confidence to reach the wooden room and return unharmed.” Lin Fan thought.
Those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm only had a 20% chance at success and Yang Gan, who had the highest cultivation, might have 30-40% depending on how strong the wind was.
“My goal is 1st place and beat Hai Yun Master’s score.”
Yang Gan’s eyes became sharp as he left as well.
Next, Quan Chen and Lu Hu both sighed and they started running again.
Most of the disciples would hesitate in front of these items, but they would leave after a while. They were all elite disciples and they could control their greed. Furthermore, the chances of success were far too low and those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm almost had no chance.
After that, massive stones began to appear on the two sides on the road with ‘rewards’ written on them.
At a certain point.
A forest with dense energy appeared in the abyss and one could see the treasures in it with their eyes.
“Spiritual Tasty Fruit can help those under the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm. One fruit can help the cultivator jump one Sky straight away.” Liu Yue’er exclaimed as she recognised the fruit.
“Moon Dragon Root, the rumoured treasure which increases the body’s attributes and even has a chance of giving an ancient special talent… ”
Zhao Feng stared at the forest in front and he took in a deep breath.
The bait was just too strong.
There were too many treasures here that could change one life and destiny, just like Zhao Feng’s left eye.
Zhao Feng even found some heaven defying materials, which could be used to increase one’s talent.
The treasures of this forest surpassed everything else they saw so far. If one of them could enter the forest and change their destiny, the True Spirit Realm wouldn’t be hard to reach.
“Spiritual Tasty Fruit! Scarlet Dragon Fruit!”
The eyes of a disciple at the peak 3rd Sky shone with greed. This person was Chen Yue, the only person that Zhao Feng wasn’t familiar with.
Teng!
Chen Yue exclaimed as he circulated his True Force to form a scarlet red wave, which propelled him towards the abyss.
Hu~
The wind above the abyss started to move, which made Chen Yue’s face go red. He used everything he had and ran about 10-20 yards before the layer of True Force around him crumbled.
“Ahhh!”
Chen Yue screamed before falling into the abyss and disappearing from view. This scene stunned all the other disciples.
“With Chen Yue’s peak 3rd Sky cultivation, he could only run about10-20 yards in the air, not even one-fifth of the total distance.”
Zhao Feng’s expression was extremely solemn. His cultivation was lower than Chen Yue’s, meaning that the quantity of True Force he had was lower than the latters. But it was better in terms of pureness.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Hu, a core disciple shook his head and left. At first, he wanted to try because he was at the 4th Sky and his forte was body strengthening. But after seeing what had happened to Chen Yue, Lu Hu knew that he could only travel 40-50 yards at best before falling into the abyss.
“Let’s continue running.”
Everyone sighed and suppressed the greed in their hearts as they started to run again.
Jiang! Jiang! Jiang…
