Lin Mu could tell that Ziran really thought well of his friend and wished to see him.
"What was his na?" Lin Mu questioned. "Maybe I'll find so information about him." He added.
"His na was Sanga, but he was also known as the Iron Blooded Colossus." Ziran answered.
"Hmm, I'll rember that." Lin Mu morized it while also trying to see if he could recall the na. 'Doesn't seem like a na I've heard before at least.' He thought.
"Well, rather than the na I think it'll be easier for you to spot him by his appearance. He stands out in the crowd really well." Ziran said with a chuckle.
"I'm guessing he's really big from his title?" Lin Mu replied.
"That is an understatent." Ziran replied. "Sanga was originally a human born in a barbarian tribe in so mortal world. But he was born with a natural strength that allowed him to rule his tribe and eventually the entire region. He didn't want to be limited to that though and sought out ways to increase his strength.
He trained nonstop, using various thods known and unknown. He almost killed himself doing this, and ca close to dying many tis. His body had almost given up too until he seemingly gained enlightennt on the verge of death and comprehended a body cultivation technique. This was when he truly embarked on the real path of cultivation and beca a body cultivator." He explained.
Lin Mu found it very interesting, especially considering that Sanga had co from a mortal world like him too.
"Sanga is usually ten ters tall and has blonde hair. So spotting him shouldn't be a problem." Ziran revealed.
"Ten ters tall… No wait, what do you an by 'usually'?" Lin Mu sensed sothing strange.
"The Body cultivation technique that Sanga uses is called as the Plane Crush Colossus Technique. It is said that at its peak, one can grow as big as the sky and crush an entire plane." Ziran answered surprising Lin Mu greatly. "As such, in his usual form Sanga would be ten ters tall. But if he's actively using the technique, he'll be a lot taller than that." He added.
"Whoa… even with Ten ters size he'd be bigger than a lot of beasts." Lin Mu said feeling awed. "And he can grow even bigger… The Plane Crush Colossus Technique really seems to be amazing." He added.
"It is." Ziran nodded.
"How did Sanga find the technique though?" Lin Mu asked. "Even he doesn't know." Ziran replied. "Sanga seemingly comprehended it out of nowhere. But he did say that on the precipice of his death he felt sothing change in his body. We had a faint hunch that it might just be a bloodline mory being unlocked." He explained.
"I see… Still for him to comprehend a great technique is his own great fortune." Lin Mu stated ~shua~shua~shua~
Just as they had finished talking though, the sound of several niches being filled was heard.
"We are ready, Daoist Mu Lin." Crown Prince Feng Shun called them.
"Ah, let's go. We shouldn't leave the others waiting." Ziran replied and placed the five jade slips he had picked out in the last remaining niche.
~SHUA~
As soon as he did that, the mbrane appeared on the niche showing that it had been filled. The five grey crystals on top of the niche also lit up, showing that it was satisfactory.
~HUMM~
A couple of seconds later, Lin Mu could sense the immortal Qi shifting within the pillar.
"It's going to activate!" Lin Mu inford them as soon as he felt the change in the Immortal Qi.
~HUALA~
And sure enough, a few seconds later the teleportation circles all lit up.
A few runes also appeared in the air, spelling a couple of words.
'Reward Period is now over.'
They know knew for sure that their guesses had been correct and that they needed to select the jade slips to progress. "Ti to go to the next trial." Lin Mu said as he took his place in one of the teleportation circles. He also activated his Spatial Perception to observe where everyone would go. Next to him stood Lady Kang and Ziran, while the Crown Prince was on the opposite side along with Crown Princess Shang and Daoist Chu.
The rest of the group filled on the remaining spots and the teleportation finally started.
~HONG~
Their bodies disappeared into the bright teleportation channel and were quickly sent through them. Lin Mu kept his eyes open through this all and saw that they were being carried quite far through this teleportation.
'I can't see the end of this Channel… What is the third trial going to be like?' Lin Mu wondered.
He observed the others and saw that they were being carried at the sa pace and were visible for most of the ti. The teleportation lasted more than fifteen seconds, which was quite long compared to others tis, showing that they were indeed traveling a large distance.
It wasn't until at the very end of the teleportation did Lin Mu find themselves getting split again. 'We're getting split in two groups this ti.' Lin Mu noticed the ten channels diverging to two gates.
~SHUA~SHUA~
A few monts later, Lin Mu felt his vision turning blank before a new place materialized around him.
He quickly spread his Immortal sense to get an assessnt of the new place, and also to see who had arrived with him.
'Lady Kang, Min Ju, Ziran, Elder Ho and … So the division was roughly based on how we stood on the gates.' Lin Mu understood. "Oh? What's these?" Ziran said looking at the object in his hand.
It was then Lin Mu realized that he was also holding sothing in his hand. "It's those grey crystals…" Lin Mu muttered, recognizing them. Though unlike before, the grey crystal weren't dull. They had brightened up and there was a faint glow within them. The others noticed the crystal in their hands too looked at them.
"Looks like this is our reward." Ziran said, having checked the crystal with his Immortal sense.
~CRACK~
And a second after he did that, one of the crystals in his hand shattered before turning to dust.
The number of crystals they had in their hands also corresponded to the number of techniques they had picked out. Ziran had five in his hand, while others one or two.
~Crack~
Lin Mu, who scanned the crystal in his hand, felt new information pouring into his mind. 'So these are the full parts of the Qi skills.' Lin Mu felt like he could almost use them.
If what was in the jade slips earlier was just so description of the Qi skills and technique, Lin Mu now had the full mnemonic and details of them in his mind now.
~SHICK~
And sure enough, a second later a black sphere appeared above his hand. It looked to be rather sticky and radiated so heat from it.
"They are easy enough to grasp." Lin Mu muttered.
This was none other than the Foot Swallowing Tar Bomb that Lin Mu had selected from the list. The current sphere form was what it looked like when activated normally, but Lin Mu was sure it would be different when he used it with Wonder Seeker.
~CRACK~CRACK~
The others also finished using their crystals, making all of them shatter.
"Though this complicates things a bit… Transcribing this won't be easy." Lin Mu stated.
"I guess there was a reason it gave the reward in the form of these crystals instead of the normal jade slips." Ziran replied. "It's a safety feature to prevent others from robbing you of it right away." He added.
"These crystals were a lot more efficient than a jade slip too." Lady Kang spoke. "They're definitely not normal mory crystals." She added.
In her mind, the worth of the crystals was decently high too, as they could be used in many ways. It could be used to keep information discreet as well as efficiently transfer information. Jade slips were convenient but took so ti to read through, unlike these crystals that quickly injected the information into their minds.
"Looks like Crown Prince and Daoist Chu will have quite so work on their hands later." Lin Mu stated.
~HUALA~
A minute after they had finished chatting through, a bunch of runes appeared in front of them signaling the start of the trial.
'Reach the end.' "That's straightforward." Min Ju looked at the words.
"Perhaps not." Elder Hu said, looking ahead of them.
They stood in a hall that was lit up by so formations and an dark corridor was ahead of them. What was strange was that one could not scan it with their immortal sense, as a barrier prevented it from progressing.
"They want us to go in blind… Seems like this trial is going to be a bit more risky." Ziran muttered before taking out sothing. "But that doesn't an we should take the risks blindly too."
