1999 Secret Exploration
Why are they deliberately stalling for time?
“It doesn’t matter if you’re first or not. As long as you’re the first batch to go, you’ll pass the challenge, right?” Chu Liuyue interrupted him with a smile. “It was a coincidence that we came to participate in this challenge. We don’t have much of an obsession with getting first place. As long as the final outcome is the same, nothing else matters, right?”
He Ziji was speechless. He could tell that the other party was sincere; they really didn’t care about first place.
Perhaps this is the confidence based on strength… He Ziji felt emotional, envious, and relieved at the same time.
!!Actually, they were right. As long as they could get the last spot, it didn’t matter if they could get first place.
“Since someone has already arrived, this challenge should be ending soon.” Rong Xiu glanced at his spouse. “Let’s go too.”
…
After making this decision, their speed quickly increased.
They didn’t encounter any more trouble on the way, and the journey was smooth.
About two hours later, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
At this moment, there were already seven or eight people standing at the mountain peak.
Little Zhou was also among them.
Seeing the four of them appear at the same time, the people on the mountaintop were slightly stunned.
Almost all of them came up alone. At most, two of them came together.
There had never been a situation where four people arrived together.
“The four of you actually arrived together?” Hong An had already descended from the sky, recording the rankings one by one.
When he saw the few of them, his eyes flashed with surprise. “I remember that you started at the foot of the mountain together, right?”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu had no intention of speaking, He Ziji hurriedly said, “Yes.”
Hong An sized them up. These four people don’t seem to be injured, and their bodies are only stained with sporadic blood. There are others who have joined forces, but there are very few who can all rush up. It seems that their strength isn’t bad.
Hong An’s expression became more fervent. “Congratulations on passing the challenge. Then, tell me your names one by one!”
He Ziji was the first to go forward and report his name and age.
He Zilan followed closely behind.
Lastly, Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue naturally used fake names.
But when she was reporting her age, Chu Liuyue suddenly had an idea and changed the answer she had prepared previously. “Seventeen.”
Upon hearing this, Hong An’s eyes lit up, and he carefully sized Chu Liuyue up again. “You’re only 17?”
Chu Liuyue looked like she was about 20 years old. Now that she suddenly said ’17,’ she immediately looked much younger.
Actually, the difference between a 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old girl didn’t seem too big.
Although the people around him were a little surprised, they didn’t pay much attention to it. However, Hong An seemed to be exceptionally happy.
“Yes.” Chu Liuyue responded and asked unintentionally, “Is something wrong?”
Hong An chuckled. “No, no! I just feel that 17 years old… You really have an unlimited future!”
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly, as if she believed this sentence.
“Oh right, there’s still some time before the end. You guys can rest at the side first.” Hong An’s attitude was clearly better than before, and this was only because he heard that Chu Liuyue was younger than expected.
Being 17 years old meant that she was the youngest one here at the moment.
Chu Liuyue lowered her eyes to hide the ripples in her eyes. She softly acknowledged him and left.
Many gazes landed on them.
Chu Liuyue pretended not to see it. After retreating to the side, she started waiting calmly.
…
After another four hours, it was noon.
People came up one after another.
When the 50th person arrived, Hong An finally put away the booklet in his hand. At the same time, he blew the whistle again!
This sound meant that those who had yet to arrive had all been eliminated!
Some people were only a short distance away from the top of the mountain. After hearing this, they all revealed shocked and vexed expressions.
However, the outcome had already been decided, and no one could change it.
After wandering around for a while, these people finally returned.
The people who remained on the mountaintop were naturally overjoyed. Passing the challenge meant that they could enter the God Residence Realm!
After making sure that no one else was around, Hong An looked at the people in front of him. There was an appreciative smile on his face. “First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the challenge! This also means that you’re one step closer to the higher level!”
It was just a few sentences, but many people were excited.
The excitement on their faces was much greater than when they were at the foot of the mountain.
“However, everyone should know that after this, we still need to wait here for a month before heading to the God Residence Realm. During this period of time, everyone can recuperate here and continue cultivating. After a month, we will naturally set off!”
There didn’t seem to be any problem with that.
Everyone was very happy when they heard this.
“So the reason we’re staying here for this period of time is to adjust our condition to the best!” He Ziji looked relieved.
Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly.
Chu Liuyue smiled. If only it were that simple. Unfortunately… Hong An is indeed up to no good.
Most of us are indeed injured, but our injuries aren’t very serious. Such injuries can be completely healed in a few days. Why would we need a month?
Chu Liuyue found a seat at the edge and sat cross-legged.
Rong Xiu took the opportunity to sit beside her.
The others also found a place to stay one after another, planning to wait for a month.
Little Zhou didn’t come over to greet Chu Liuyue and the rest. Instead, he sat alone on Chu Liuyue’s right.
As long as he looked up, he could see the other party.
The top of Taiyang Mountain seemed to have been cut off by something. It was very flat and wide, and it was more than enough to accommodate all of them.
Everyone dispersed and sat down. After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone fell silent.
Some people began to try to heal their injuries.
Some were absorbing the Heaven and Earth Force to cultivate.
In short, everything looked normal.
After Hong An counted the people, he rose into the air again.
Chu Liuyue looked up and glanced at them. Why did he go up again at this time?
She kept feeling that this condescending attitude was a little arrogant and strange. It even… vaguely made her feel like she was being watched.
In the end, Chu Liuyue suppressed her thoughts and gently closed her eyes.
…
Time flowed silently, and the mountain wind blew.
Twilight fell, and the full moon hung high in the sky.
A hint of coldness swept over.
Chu Liuyue suddenly opened her eyes.
The force in her body was flowing away quietly!
