However, what rekindled everyone's hope was that not everyone returned in such a miserable state. The prodigy with the spirit rune flag above his head was enveloped by the radiance. When he got close to the shore, he did not disappear and was able to walk on the shore.
This was undoubtedly a joyous scene for everyone. Furthermore, they could easily make the connection that perhaps only the spirit runes could resist the black aura!
Once they thought of this, how could these prodigies hesitate? They immediately activated their own spirit runes. Various spirit runes appeared in the sky and enveloped their owners.
Under the cover of the spirit runes, everyone began to attempt to ascend the shore. Indeed, under the cover of the spirit runes, the same situation as before did not happen again. Everyone was able to walk safely.
However, the price to pay for walking safely was too great. All the prodigies could clearly feel that the spirit runes were indeed able to resist the mysterious force that enveloped the small mountain. However, the consumption was incomparably huge.
Those who were still on the periphery could also clearly see that the spirit runes above the heads of the prodigies who had ascended the small mountain were rapidly dimming. In the end, they could no longer hold on and could only switch to another spirit rune to support themselves.
In this way, it was obvious that they had to rely on the number of spirit runes they had condensed to support themselves on the small mountain. However, it seemed that the quality of the spirit runes also had a certain effect. Even if they ascended the small mountain at the same time, the spirit runes above their heads would not completely dim at the same time.
After roughly understanding this point, the prodigies who had already ascended the small mountain did not hesitate at all. They gritted their teeth and hurriedly headed for the nearest natural treasure.
However, even with the protection of the spirit runes, being able to walk normally on the small mountain was the limit. Therefore, even though the natural treasure seemed to be right in front of them, it was extremely difficult to obtain it. Furthermore, they had to do so before the power of their spirit runes was exhausted!
"Ah …!"
Finally, a painful scream suddenly rang out. The spirit runes above one of the prodigies' heads had suddenly extinguished. In fact, he had wanted to turn back before the spirit runes were extinguished, but he was still one step too late.
As the scream rang out, the prodigy's head had already lost the protection of the spirit runes. That prodigy continued to struggle violently. Even though there was nothing around him, he seemed to be suffering from something.
In the end, the prodigy twisted for a while and died completely with his eyes wide open. After the prodigy died, his bones began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, wisps of black gas began to seep out of his body, slowly gathering towards the shore of the small mountain.
By the time the last wisp of black Qi had drilled out, the elite corpse had already turned into a pile of dust. If one did not witness it with their own eyes, it was likely that no one would know that this ordinary looking pile of dust was actually the corpse of a prided elite.
"Ah …!"
Another roar of pain rang out. It was a similar Heaven's Pride, who also collapsed on the road.
They weren't the only ones. More and more people were collapsing. It was all because the spirit runes above their heads had dimmed, and there were no other spirit runes that could replace them.
After they fell down and died, they were like the first Chosen. Black Qi seeped out of their corpses and merged with the thin black Qi on the shore. Then, they completely turned into dust.
Among them, there were even cultivators who had picked a Heaven and Earth treasure and were returning immediately. However, his spirit inscriptions were unable to support his return journey and disappeared in advance.
This scene once again caused the remaining people to feel a chill in their hearts. They originally thought that they had found a way to harvest Heaven and Earth treasures. Who knew that there was such a huge danger hidden in it?
Just now, only a few people who sensed that something was wrong and were closest to the shore were lucky enough to return. Otherwise, they would have been completely annihilated.
Then, there was once again complete silence.
After a long silence, someone finally felt that there was not much hope and manipulated the land under his feet to leave. Some people were shaken, and the feeling of giving up quickly spread. Many people secretly shook their heads and then turned to leave.
In their eyes, this was not an opportunity, but a land of death. Although those Heaven and Earth treasures were good, they still needed to be alive to enjoy them.
However, there were also some people who were unwilling to leave and still stayed near the small mountain. Among them was Yan Chutian.
Yan Chutian did not want to give up so easily. There was a Dao Sculpting Lotus on the small mountain, and this might be the only Dao Sculpting Lotus in the entire mortal world. He could not give up so easily.
Moreover, it was not impossible for him to climb this small mountain safely and return successfully!
After all, he had already condensed four spirit inscriptions. Among all the people who had just come ashore, at most, those who had condensed three spirit inscriptions. Moreover, Yan Chutian was very confident in the quality of the spirit inscriptions he had condensed. Especially the True Dragon Inscription, which was considered a taboo among the many spirit inscriptions!
However, the only thing that made Yan Chutian a little suspicious was that the Dao Sculpting Lotus was not near the shore, but in a more remote location.
However, Yan Chutian was not a wishy-washy person. Since he could give it a try, he would never give up!
Therefore, when some of the geniuses once again controlled the land and approached the shore of the small mountain, Yan Chutian was among them.
At this time, the remaining geniuses who were still watching watched the actions of these people. Of course, after a glance, no one's gaze fell on Yan Chutian. Instead, it fell on the remaining geniuses. Even if there was, it was only sarcasm and ridicule.
That was because these geniuses who were watching were all from first-rate forces. Among them, only Yan Chutian, a disciple from a second-rate force, was left.
Therefore, in their opinion, how could Yan Chutian have any hope of obtaining the heavenly treasure and returning successfully? In their eyes, Yan Chutian was a foolish person who had been blinded by greed. Otherwise, why would he be courting death like this?
"That seems to be a disciple from a second-rate force. Even such a person dares to attempt to come ashore?"
"Heh … I know him. His name is Yan Chu, and he shines brightly in the second-rate forces. However, I did not expect him to be so arrogant. Does he think that he can do well in the first-rate forces just because he is like a fish in water in the second-rate forces? "
"He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. This is a test of the quality and quantity of spirit inscriptions a cultivator can condense. Judging from his aura, he is at most at the fifth level of Elixir. How many spirit inscriptions can he condense?"
"I don't know. I don't know the details. However, to be able to shine brightly in the second-rate forces, there should be at least three spirit inscriptions."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he has some tricks up his sleeve and his foundation is in a mess."
Many mocking voices were heard. Although they did not say it explicitly, the meaning revealed was that they were all mocking Yan Chutian for overestimating himself.
Then, they did not look at Yan Chutian anymore. Instead, they continued to lock onto the other geniuses. Perhaps they could gain some experience from these geniuses. With so many heavenly treasures in front of them, they really did not want to let them go!
Bang …!
Finally, the pieces of land hit the shore one by one. However, there was one exception. That was Yan Chutian. He did not want to give up the land where he had set up three formations.
Therefore, he stopped at the periphery and continued to borrow strength from the other pieces of land. Finally, he leaped onto the shore of the small mountain.
