After passing the fourth checkpoint, Lin Huang soon arrived at the fifth checkpoint.
The fifth checkpoint was similar to the fourth checkpoint. They were both palaces, but the architectural style was slightly different.
There was still a sealing rune on the stone tablet. However, the sealing rune this time was made up of 72 basic rune lines. It was much more complicated than the one on the fourth checkpoint.
With the experience from the fourth checkpoint, Lin Huang was familiar with the process. Soon, he found the corresponding decoding rune in his head and carved it on the stone tablet.
As the decoding rune that was made up of 72 rune lines was successfully constructed, the sealing rune faded away and Lin Huang was pulled into his consciousness again.
The challenge this time was the same as before. However, the number was tripled. Lin Huang had to pass through 300 of the stone tablets. The time required to pass through each stone tablet was extended to five minutes.
Lin Huang compared the rune in his head and went through the stone tablets one by one. When he stepped on the last stone tablet, a golden glow entered his head.
As he was sent back to the stone tower, Lin Huang noticed that it was already past six in the morning.
After checking the 30,000 completed runes in his head, there were only about 10 of them that were beyond the range of Bloody's deduction. Lin Huang stood next to the stone tablet and memorized the 16 unfamiliar runes with his eyes closed.
After a while, Lin Huang opened his eyes and placed his hand on the stone tablet. He was then sent to the sixth checkpoint of the stone tower.
This time, Lin Huang did not attempt the challenge directly. Instead, he took out a tent from his storage space and slept in his sleeping bag.
Not only would it consume his Life Power to carve the Witchcraft Rune, but it would also take a lot of effort as all the lines were complicated. He could not afford to make any mistakes. Even a millimeter mistake would cause the rune to fail. Coupled with the fact that he did not sleep the night before, Lin Huang planned to rest before attempting the next checkpoint.
The giant face was confused. It was excited to see Lin Huang attempt the next checkpoint. However, Lin Huang fell asleep in his sleeping bag, so it could only wait patiently.
Lin Huang slept until past five in the afternoon. He then looked at the time and got out of the tent.
After putting away the tent and eating some dry rations, he walked unhurriedly to the front of the stone tablet.
There was another sealing rune on the stone tablet on the sixth checkpoint. However, this time, the sealing rune was made up of all 108 basic rune lines.
It was a few times more complicated than the one on the fifth checkpoint. Lin Huang stared at the rune for a while and found it unfamiliar. He searched carefully in his head and confirmed that the rune was not within the range of the rune that Bloody came up with.
After summoning Bloody, it stared at the rune on the stone tablet for a while and nodded. "This rune is indeed not within the 50,000 runes that I deduced earlier. However, it's not difficult to break the rune."
As soon as it finished speaking, Bloody shared the rune with Lin Huang.
After memorizing the rune and the rune on the stone tablet, Lin Huang recalled Bloody and drew the rune to break the rune on the stone tablet.
As soon as the rune seal disappeared, Lin Huang was pulled into his consciousness space again.
There were 500 stone tables in this checkpoint. Each of the stone tables had a complete rune that was made up of 108 basic rune lines. The time required to break the rune on each stone table was 10 minutes.
Soon, Lin Huang began to break through the checkpoints. From the first checkpoint to the 183rd checkpoint, Lin Huang passed all the checkpoints smoothly as he had the relevant rune memory and the deciphering plan in his head.
However, on the 34th checkpoint, Lin Huang was stuck as he did not have the rune in his head this time. Lin Huang searched in his head three times but he could not remember anything about the rune. He then confirmed that the rune was beyond the 50,000 runes that Bloody had given him.
Initially, he was worried that he would not be able to summon Bloody in the space of his consciousness. He was only relieved when he managed to summon Bloody.
"This question is beyond the syllabus again." Lin Huang forced a smile and pointed at the rune on the stone table.
Bloody looked around in confusion and did not ask anything. Instead, it observed the rune on the stone table.
"This is an illusion rune. It's slightly complicated." Although Bloody said that, it shared the deciphering rune with Lin Huang in less than three seconds.
As Lin Huang memorized the deciphering rune, he immediately started drawing it.
Due to the delay in searching in his memory, Lin Huang managed to draw the rune in the last two seconds when the 10-minute time limit was almost up. He had successfully deciphered the rune for this checkpoint.
After stepping on the 35th stone table, Lin Huang did not recall Bloody. "Don't go back yet. I've only broken through less than a tenth of the checkpoints. I think there'll be more unfamiliar runes."
Bloody nodded and wrapped itself around Lin Huang's left arm.
Lin Huang then proceeded to break through the checkpoints. He encountered another unfamiliar rune on the 45th checkpoint. Just when he was searching in his head, Bloody spoke.
"I haven't figured out this rune before. Let me think about how to decipher it." In less than five seconds, Bloody came up with a solution to help Lin Huang pass the checkpoint.
Later on, Lin Huang encountered 28 unfamiliar runes. He did not even have to search in his memory to confirm if they were unfamiliar runes. Bloody gave him the deciphering rune right away, saving him a lot of time.
Just like that, with Bloody's help, Lin Huang managed to pass the 500th checkpoint smoothly.
As he stepped on the 501st stone table, a golden glow entered between Lin Huang's brows. Then, Lin Huang and Bloody were sent out of his consciousness.
Lin Huang immediately looked at the rune inheritance on the sixth level of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower.
There were more than 50,000 runes this time. Almost half of them were unfamiliar to Lin Huang. He sat down on a sunny spot on the sixth level of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower and began memorizing the unfamiliar runes.
Lin Huang sat there for two days and finally memorized more than 20,000 unfamiliar runes.
It was the morning of the third day when he opened his eyes.
"I've been in the Sorcerer Goddess Tower for a week and I've only reached the sixth level. I hope that the remaining three checkpoints will take less time. Otherwise, I won't have enough time." Lin Huang was worried as he looked at the time on his Emperor's Heart Ring. He could only stay in the ruins for a month.
After getting up, he walked towards the stone tablet and placed his hand on it. A few moments later, his body faded away on the sixth level of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower.
