The Left-Eyed Celestial Emperor
Chapter 166 – Critical Temptations
Zhao Feng discovered that the wooden room was about 100 yards from where it was and in between was a ravine.
Under normal circumstances, those in the 3rd Sky of the Ascending Realm could not fly. They could soar through the air for 100 yards but the wind above the ravine was so strong that even cultivators in the 3rd Sky would be torn apart in a few breaths.
At this moment, the 3 Core disciples were all standing at the edge of the black and gold road, but they did not move.
Zhao Feng's left eye disciple contracted slightly as he inspected the skeletons and items up close.
“The skeleton has been here for a long time, but his bones still shine faintly, meaning this person's cultivation was in the True Spirit Realm or higher while he was alive.”
Zhao Fengs eyes twinkled.
Not only did he see this, the 3 Core disciples also saw this.
The items had been abandoned for a very long time, but were not rusted or damaged, which meant it was not simple.
Broken bamboo swords, Jade ornaments, ancient books…
The materials of these items were all unique and like the bones, they were not worn.
“If I can get an item next to a corpse, it doesn't matter even if I fail this trial. The item left behind by a cultivator in the True Spirit Realm might be a Spiritual grade skill or a Spiritual weapon.
Quan Chen was extremely excited and he could not help his greed.
Everyone looked expectantly at the item next to the skeleton and Zhao Feng immediately came to a conclusion:
The broken bamboo sword should be a Spiritual weapon and even if there were no spirits in it, it was still on par with an Elite grade Mortal weapon at least.
The material of the jade ornament was very unique and seemed to have power flowing around it. The price might not be as much as Spiritual weapons, but it shouldn't be too much.
As for the 2 old books, no one knew exactly what class it was, but with the cultivation of the skeleton, before he died, it should be a minimal Mortal Grade Peak skill.
This item might even exceed the reward of the first place Trial.
Even Zhao Feng had the urge to catch him, but his eyes twinkled and sighed: “Go!”
Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and he followed Zhao Feng.
“Indeed, even those in the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm do not have full confidence to reach the wooden room and return unscathed.” Lin Fan thought.
Those in the 4th Sky Rise Realm only had a 20% chance of success and Yang Gan, who had the highest cultivation, might have 30-40% depending on how strong the wind was.
“My destination is first place and beat Hai Yun Master.” score
Yang Gan's eyes became sharp as he left as well.
Next, Quan Chen and Lu Hu sighed and they started running again.
Most 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. Moreover, his chances of success were too low and those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm had almost no chance.
After that, large stones began to appear on both sides of the road with ‘gift’ written on it.
At a certain point.
A forest with dense energy appeared in the abyss and one could see the treasures within it with their eyes.
“Spiritual Delicious Fruit can help those under the 7th Sky of the Rising Realm. One fruit can help cultivators jump straight into the sky. ” Liu Yue’er exclaimed as she recognized the fruit.
“Akar Dragon Moon, a treasure rumored to increase the attributes of the body and even have the chance to give an ancient special talent.”.
Zhao Feng looked at the forest ahead and he took a deep breath.
The bait is too strong.
There were too many treasures here that could change one's life and destiny, just like Zhao Feng's left eye.
Zhao Feng even found some heaven-defying materials, which could be used to enhance one's talent.
This forest treasure surpassed everything they had seen so far. If one of them could enter the forest and change their destiny, the True Spirit Realm would not be difficult to reach.
“Spiritual Delicious Fruit! Red Dragon Fruit! ”
The eyes of a disciple at the peak of the 3rd Sky shone with greed. This person was Chen Yue, the only person Zhao Feng did not know.
Teng!
Chen Yue exclaimed as she circulated True Strength to form a red-red wave, which pushed her into the abyss.
Hu ~
The wind above the ravine started to move, which made Chen Yue's face turn red. He used everything he had and ran for about 10-20 yards before the layer of True Strength around him shattered.
Uhhh!
Chen Yue shouted before falling into the abyss and disappearing from sight. This scene shocked all the other disciples.
“With Chen Yue's peak 3rd Sky cultivation, he could only run about 10-20 yards in the air, not even a fifth of the total distance.”
Zhao Feng's expression was very serious. His cultivation was inferior to Chen Yue, which meant that the amount of True Strength he possessed was lower than the others. But it's better in terms of purity.
“Come go.”
Lu Hu, a core disciple shook his head and left. Originally, he wanted to try because he was in the 4th Sky and his skill was to strengthen the body. But after seeing what had happened to Chen Yue, Lu Hu knew that he could only travel 40-50 yards before falling into the abyss.
“Ayo keep running.”
Everyone sighed and suppressed the greed in their hearts as they started running again.
Jiang! Jiang! Jiangs…
“30% possibility.”
Zhao Feng's eyes sparkled as he stared at the forest, but he gave up in the end. The Floating Crest Exam path is long and there will definitely be more rewards later.
This is only the first Test and it is the path of temptation, not just the path of death.
……… ..
Floating Crest Palace entrance.
Whong!
A strange green light shone from the door.
This fast?
The four Elders and Clan Masters were all shocked. The circle faded and a figure appeared – it was Chen Yue.
“What made you come out so fast?” Elder Xue asked deeply.
Chen Yue's expression turned gray as she told the Elders and Clan Master what had happened.
“You are an inner disciple and you can't even resist this temptation?” Grandma Liuyue said in a disdainful tone.
“It's not all her fault. This test seemed to be harder than the previous – they were chased by monsters in the True Spirit Realm and the reward on the way was incredible. ”
The soft and charming voice of the Broken Moon Clan Masters sounded.
“The harder, the bigger the final prize. Unfortunately, this youngster did not even pass the first Trial, meaning he would not get any rewards. Fortunately, this was only the basis of the Trial for those who were Right. Can you imagine him coming back to life if he goes to the Devil Trial? ” 1st Elder smiled faintly.
The Elders were not too surprised by Chen Yue's failure because their own disciples were still participating.
… ..
In the blink of an eye, another 2 days had passed in the Trials.
Jiang! Jiang!
The black metal monster was catching up easily, although its speed was not too fast. Most disciples had to rely on their determination and pills to continue.
Of all, Yang Gan was the most relaxed. His cultivation was the highest and his speed was several tiers higher than that of a black metal monster.
Even Quan Chen was starting to feel tired. The disciples under the 4th Sky Rise Realm had to push through bit by bit, step by step to avoid being killed by the monsters behind them.
Everyone finally understood that the First Abyss of Death Trial meant that they would be chased for 3 days and 3 nights in a row, while temptation would be on the way as well, trying to distract them.
“Live another half day. Everyone, defend! ”
Yang Gan cheered from the front, but this was all he could do. Even he would be instantly slaughtered by that monster.
Yang Gan's gaze landed on the only disciple of the First Elder, Zhao Feng. The breathing rate of the latter was balanced and he had a calm expression unlike the others. Lin Fan beside him who was sweating soaked his face, but he continued with a strong will.
The thing that surprised Yang Gan the most was that Zhao Feng and Lin Fan both had the lowest cultivation in the group, but they were able to continue all the way here. Especially Zhao Feng, he looked much more relaxed than most others.
At this moment, the trials on both sides of the road became even closer.
This temptation was 100 hundred yards away, but now some were at 70-80 yards with lower range even being at 50-60 yards.
But through 2 days of continuous walking, the energy of the people had descended. Furthermore, the value of the item dropped compared to before.
“The bigger the reward, the bigger the risk. While the difficulty level decreases, it also means that the reward also drops in value. ”
Zhao Feng nodded his head in silence.
As they ran, his left eye continued to scan the emerging rewards and he analyzed the chances of success. However, the success rate of most rewards was lower than 50% and the items were not very good.
At a certain moment.
The view of the ravine suddenly changed and a strange pavilion measuring about 4-5 meters appeared 20-30 meters away.
From the pavilion came the sound of a lute and a beautiful woman was sitting there. The woman was cream-white and thin black eyebrows. His every smile was filled with boundless temptation, which made those who looked to be dazed.
The strange sight made the disciples wary, but when their eyes were fixed on the women, everyone felt the beauty directly into their bodies and souls.
The distance is only 20-30 yards, meaning the wind power is smaller.
Everyone's hearts accelerated and Lu Hu, Sun Yuanhao and Quan Chen's eyes were filled with obsession. The strange thing was that even Liu Yue’er and Ran Xiaoyuan had confused expressions.
Almost no one could resist the charm of the lute. Of that group, only Zhao Feng was unaffected as he looked at her with sparkling eyes.
The first to react was Yang Gan, then Lin Fan, who clenched his teeth and held back.
Zhao Feng was a little impressed – he didn't think that Lin Fan's determination was even better than Quan Chen's.
Da!
Yang Gan exclaimed loudly and he woke up the remaining people.
“Brother Which, the distance is only 20-30 yards .. should we try ..?”
Quan Chen suggested, the woman in the pavilion is too beautiful, like she is a goddess.
“20-30 yards is the closest distance so far..”.
Zhao Fengs eyes narrowed as he estimated the success rate and value of the items within.
