Chapter 249 Passed
The first way is wrong. The second way is wrong. The third way...
There was an obvious look of anxiety on Xu Feng's face. His abnormal expression was so obvious and he did not hide it at all that Sikong Hongyu and the other three noticed it almost immediately.
Sikong Hongyu's face darkened. There were only two levels left. He didn't expect that Xu Feng seemed to be unable to cope with the challenge after only one level. Should he...
Just as she was hesitating, Xu Feng's expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Found it." Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and he completely relaxed. After hurrying, he finally found the safe fork in the road before his ability to sense danger disappeared. Helping Sikong Hongyu pass the eighth and ninth levels should be enough to give an explanation. After all, the further you go, the harder the choices will be.
Sikong Hongyu's expression remained unchanged. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Feng with a hint of suspicion.
Xu Feng was slightly stunned, but immediately explained: "I have never used the ability to sense danger continuously in a short period of time before, and I didn't know that it would consume so much of my spiritual consciousness. Fortunately, before I ran out of energy, I found the correct route for this level." After that, he pointed out the road.
Sikong Hongyu frowned, her white and slender knuckles kept curling and stretching. People who knew her knew that this was her habitual action when she was deep in thought. Even with her state of mind, she felt a little worried at this moment.
Xu Feng had a strange look on his face just now, and this level was so rushed, taking less than half the time of the previous level. Is it really okay? She was worried. If she failed here, all her efforts would be wasted. Even if she killed Xu Feng, it would only vent her anger a little...
She looked directly into Xu Feng's eyes. After a long time, Sikong Hongyu finally made up her mind. She said to Xu Feng calmly, "I believe you."
When she stepped into the road, she paused for a moment, but soon stepped in firmly. Xu Feng and the other two followed.
Buzz, no attacks, no problem! The ninth level passed! Now, they have finally reached the last level, and are only one step away from the inheritance of the Taoist Wujiu.
Sikong Hongyu was so excited that her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Finally, we've reached the last level." There was obvious relief and surprise on her face.
Sikong Hongyu took out a palm-sized talisman. Noticing Xu Feng's confused look, perhaps as a reward for his meritorious service, she explained in a good mood: "This talisman is called the Luck Stealing Talisman. It is one of the rare talismans. It requires a special spiritual herb called Tianyun Grass as the main ingredient. It's a pity that the growth environment of Tianyun Grass is harsh. It took me a lot of effort to find a Tianyun Grass that was just over a hundred years old.
This kind of rare talisman can greatly improve the user's luck in a short period of time, and the lower the cultivation level, the better the effect. "After saying that, she activated the Luck Stealing Talisman and attached it to herself. Sikong Hongyu and his true confidants, their main task in the past few years was to gather the many materials for refining the Luck Stealing Talisman. They had worked hard for many years for this moment.
Sikong Hongyu continued, "If this talisman is used to pass two levels in a row, I still lack confidence, but now there is only this last level left..."
Sikong Hongyu exuded endless confidence in his tone: "Then the situation is settled!!!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Hai and Qi Yue knelt down on one knee in front of her and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Miss."
Seeing this, Xu Feng thought to himself, "As expected, these two people are probably firmly controlled by Sikong Hongyu. Few people in cultivation would kneel down to others easily. But it is unknown whether they used the secret technique of the Soul Silk like they did to him."
"But..." Xu Feng suddenly frowned and said, "Does this method of relying on external forces really conform to the original intention of the Taoist Wujiu?"
This was a bit disappointing at the moment, but if it was according to what Sikong Hongyu said at the beginning, it was possible that he would be fooled in the end. This was clearly a trick, and it was not like Wujiu Daoist looking for someone with the same physique as himself.
Sikong Hongyu was not angry, but smiled slightly: "The deeds of Taoist Wuju have been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone says this, but this truth may not be credible."
"Huh? What does this mean?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.
"If you were as blessed as Taoist Wujiu, would you spend so much time and effort to find Taoist Wujiu's inheritance?" Sikong Hongyu asked back.
"It is true that the inheritance of Wujiu Taoist is very attractive, but since I can get opportunities wherever I go, why should I take Wujiu Taoist's? After all, it is troublesome to collect three key fragments and a map. Does he really want his life's hard work to be neglected by future generations?
To put it another way, if we restrict the number of people with a certain rare physique to a person who has no other desire, even if the other party is determined to obtain it, what if such a person does not appear after three thousand years, five thousand years, or even longer after his death? In the long river of time, whether it is spiritual stones, elixirs, or magic weapons, they will gradually lose their spirituality and effectiveness. If this method is followed, the inheritance of Wujiu Taoist will most likely disappear in the long river of time.
Moreover, for such a person, even if he obtains the inheritance of Taoist Wujiu, it is nothing more than icing on the cake and is not that precious. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party will go much further than Taoist Wujiu on the path of cultivation (Taoist Wujiu has deep obsessions and a damaged state of mind due to his experiences in his youth, and he cannot let go of them for his entire life, so he cannot go further on the path of cultivation). In the future, he may continue to get greater and more opportunities. What is this treasure of Taoist Wujiu?
In this case, is he still willing to leave it to someone who doesn't value his life's hard work at all?"
Xu Feng was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this made some sense.
"The most important thing is..." Sikong Hongyu's tone changed, and he smiled coldly: "Since the key and the map have fallen into my hands, even if I am not as lucky as Taoist Wuju, the treasure here must be obtained by me. Otherwise, I would rather destroy or bury this place forever. No one except me can get involved!"
The sonorous and powerful heroic words were deafening. After that, Sikong Hongyu exuded a domineering aura, and the Stealing Fortune Talisman seemed to sense the host's supreme spirit at this time, and the light became brighter, and the dazzling white light forced the three people to step back a few points.
Then, Sikong Hongyu felt that the time had come, and she chose a path by intuition. Without hesitation, she was certain of her choice, stepped in, and disappeared.
Seeing this, Xu Feng and the other two immediately followed.
……
The scene changed, still in the cave, the original stone door opened, and a deep road appeared. Sikong Hongyu looked at the third-level magic weapon in his hand with a happy face, which was emitting a soft halo.
The entire maze trial was evolved from this magic weapon. It was the natal magic weapon of the Wuju Taoist and the treasure of a third-level Digang realm powerhouse. Now that Sikong Hongyu had completed the test, it naturally fell into her hands.
The treasure from more than a thousand years ago now has an official owner!
However, before he was promoted to the Earthly Realm, Sikong Hongyu was afraid that it would be difficult for him to refine and use a magic weapon of this level. After putting away this third-level magic weapon, Sikong Hongyu immediately entered the newly appeared passage without waiting for Xu Feng and the other two.
After walking only a hundred meters, a huge storage room appeared in front of the four people.
The magic weapon area, the elixir and talisman area, the spiritual stone area, the rare treasure area, and the giant storage room were filled with treasures in four areas, which were dazzling. The four people were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and their hearts were pounding wildly.
It is said that the treasure of Wujiu Taoist is comparable to that of a small sect. The ancients were not wrong. Let's not talk about other things for now. About 100,000 spiritual stones piled up into a small mountain are really breathtaking.
While Sikong Hongyu, Fang Hai and Qi Yue were happily collecting all kinds of cultivation resources, Xu Feng stood aside consciously. After all, he was only assisting Sikong Hongyu and could not be considered one of their own.
His eyes inadvertently glanced deeper, where something seemed to be attracting him.
At this moment, a jade talisman that Sikong Hongyu carried with him suddenly lit up. Sikong Hongyu's face suddenly changed drastically, and he stopped what he was doing, saying in disbelief: "Someone is attacking the formation, Mo Xiao can't hold on."
Suddenly, she turned her head, her cold eyes staring straight at Xu Feng: "How could someone come here so quickly? It's you! How dare you betray me?!"
