"And then?"
"Then I passed the trial."
"..." Wang Mu.
"However, I didn’t obtain the Spirit Talisman," Mu Lanxin said. "Actually, there is a hidden Spirit Talisman within the body of the male statue."
"The male statue is flawless and indestructible; not even a Nascent Soul Cultivator can break it. Now that the Spirit Talisman has appeared, the thod to obtain it is quite simple."
Mu Lanxin pointed.
It was indeed simple now. All one needed to do was push the male statue forward, allowing the female statue’s long sword to pierce its heart. That should be enough to obtain the Spirit Talisman.
At this point, it should have been easy to figure out.
Wang Mu walked over but didn’t push the statue. Instead, he gently lowered the long sword in the female statue’s hands.
"What do you an by this?" Mu Lanxin asked.
"The Spirit Talisman is in the male statue’s heart," Wang Mu said. "If obtaining the Spirit Talisman requires piercing his heart, then even if the female statue hates him, she might co to regret it. Since there’s love in her eyes, why not turn conflict into peace and reconcile?"
"Even if his heart must truly be pierced, it shouldn’t be through an external force like mine, but by her own initiative."
"The statue is right there."
"..." Mu Lanxin.
The mont the long sword was put down, the male statue remained silent for a long ti.
Finally, the expression on its face changed, and the Spirit Talisman floated out from its heart automatically, landing on Wang Mu.
"Congratulations, another Spirit Talisman for you," Mu Lanxin praised, her face expressionless.
"Just luck," Wang Mu pocketed the Spirit Talisman and continued forward.
The Cloud Sea surged. The pressure seed to increase by another layer, and Spiritual Power rapidly depleted within his body.
Ahead, a giant Cloud Sea beast, as imnse as a mountain, blocked Wang Mu’s path.
"This trial requires combat. Whether to confront or retreat depends on one’s own choice," Mu Lanxin said. "This is a Cloud Sea beast, ford from the essence of clouds and fog into a Spirit beast. Their bodies are immune to Body Cultivation Secret Skills and, being semi-virtual entities, are highly resistant to Magic."
The Cloud Sea beast had five Spirit Talismans on it.
Clearly, this ant that under normal circumstances, it might have already eliminated five Cultivators.
Comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage Ancient Beast, its formidable strength exerted trendous pressure.
Normally, one could waste so Spiritual Power to turn back and attempt another route.
However, if one misjudged their own strength and decided to confront it head-on, then they were done for.
In the Immortal Cloud Competition, besides luck, an accurate assessnt of one’s own strength was also crucial.
Of course, if other Cultivators were encountered, one might try to collaborate and then divide the gains.
However, collaboration was difficult for most.
In this Immortal Cloud Competition, this Cloud Sea beast would be considered a Tier 3 Spirit beast, possessing great strength.
Moreover, because it was rather unique and not very aggressive, it gave the illusion that one might actually have a chance against it.
Trying one’s luck like that could easily lead to big trouble.
Observing the situation, Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds.
Five Spirit Talismans, quite a lot indeed.
Seeing the enormous cloud of fog, Wang Mu decided to test his Mixed Elent Mysterious Star Technique.
After all, he had plenty of Spiritual Power to spare.
With this in mind, Wang Mu’s fingers aligned like a sword, and two differently colored lights slowly began to flicker.
They were the energies of True Yang Star Fla and Primordial Mystic Heavy Water—one crimson-purple, the other ink-black.
Intermingling, they coiled around the tips of Wang Mu’s index and middle fingers like dancing dragons. Mixed Elent Power burst forth. In an instant, two spiraling beams of light shot out. Beyond their brightness, their true power was difficult to discern clearly with Divine Sense.
Enveloped by Mixed Elent Power as they shot out, the beams seed to rge into the surrounding environnt.
The beams, appearing as light as a wisp of cloud and gentle as a breeze, gracefully arched like a rainbow into the massive cloud of vapor.
"Explode!"
The next second, the two beams of light flashed and vanished!
In an instant, like fireworks dispersing, the cloud of fog burst apart. A faint SQUEAK from a small creature was barely audible before the entire cloud of fog vanished, transforming into a tiny point of light.
The power was beyond Wang Mu’s expectations.
Very strong... Wang Mu thought.
The combination of two unique natural treasures and Mixed Elent Power had created an explosion. Its resulting force almost engulfed him as well.
Of course, that move alone couldn’t truly kill the latter.
It was purely for obtaining the Spirit Talismans.
After the explosion, the Cloud Sea beast imdiately began absorbing the surrounding clouds and rapidly recovering.
Wang Mu’s Divine Sense stirred, and he directly retrieved the five Spirit Talismans.
Just testing the waters, Wang Mu thought.
The Mixed Elent Mysterious Star Technique dealt a type of hybrid damage; the power generated by the subsequent explosion was imnse.
He was currently quite proficient with it.
After obtaining the Spirit Talismans, Wang Mu continued forward, but then a thought struck him.
Could Travel be used in this place?
In the Cloud Sea, Divine Sense couldn’t detect the terrain, and what lay ahead was completely unpredictable.
These four encounters had already consud more than half of Wang Mu’s Primordial Golden Pill; the Mixed Elent Mysterious Star Technique, in particular, was quite costly.
Thinking of this, Wang Mu imdiately focused his senses.
「Travel: Small Cloud Sea Realm (!)」
It seems it really can be used.
Wang Mu was taken aback and imdiately used an action point.
「Travel: Small Cloud Sea Realm (top left, ten breaths)」
Top left?
Wang Mu pondered for two seconds then headed towards the cloud in the upper-left, instantly losing a substantial portion of his Spiritual Power.
The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and what appeared before him was another treasure chest.
"..." Wang Mu.
But this ti, it was purple.
