Q: What if I can't break through?
Then I won't break through.
Lord Tang maintained a relaxed attitude. However, he had heard from time to time that Elaine's battle prowess had improved by leaps and bounds after her breakthrough into the God domain.
His liver ached a little.
Sure enough, the liver emperor was no match for the luck emperor.
Tang Yu could only comprehend the laws while dealing with the miscellaneous items in the territory, hoping that one day, he would have an epiphany.
Just as he was signing and spacing out, he was suddenly stunned.
The next document that he needed to deal with turned out to be an application for leave.
Signature: Bamboo Rat Kurisu.
"Uh …"
Tang Yu didn't know what the bamboo rat was up to.
He found the bamboo rat Oguri. "Did you write this?"
"Yes, squeak."
"No, you seem to have a year-round vacation, right?"
Thinking about it carefully, apart from being a special class instructor in the Dojo of Limits, an elder in the Dao Sect, and a chief consultant in the army for illusions, Bamboo Rat Li didn't have any other responsibilities.
She also did not have a fixed working hours. From time to time, she would sneak away to unknown places under the banner of 'exploring' or 'opening up a new map (new foreign world)'.
How could he go to work? Vacation?
Uh-huh!
Tang Yu's eyes gradually became dangerous.
Bamboo Rat Cherri didn't notice anything. She just clicked her fingers together, and her expression was somewhat bashful. "Because the place we're going this time is a bit far."
She said, "I also want to break through, squeak, but I have no clue, so I want to go back to the clan. Coincidentally, I felt the call of the ancestral land some time ago, squeak."
After a while, Tang Yu figured out what Bamboo Rat Oguri was talking about.
The Bamboo Rat Clan had a mysterious ancestral land. Legend had it that outstanding bamboo rats could sense the call of the ancestral land. As long as they responded to the call, they could enter the mysterious ancestral land. Bamboo rat spirits who passed the ancestral land's trial would have a very obvious improvement in their combat strength, realm, and other aspects.
Bamboo Rat Li was trying to help herself reach Transcendent Rank-3 with the help of the trial in the ancestral land.
She was different from Fanny and the others. Fanny and Winnie were not far from the rudiments of laws and could see the bottleneck of Transcendent Rank-3.
As for the bamboo rat Cherri, she had only barely touched upon one type of law, so she was not very compatible with the bamboo rat race.
Bamboo Rat Scarlet's breakthrough was still a long way off.
That was how he came up with the idea of training in the ancestral land.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo rat Oguri, who had always been uninterested in cultivation, also wanted to work hard one day.
Tang Yu was quite pleased.
It was all because of him, the lord, who had taught them well.
"Is there any danger in your bamboo rat clan's ancestral land trial?"
"Nope, squeak."
Bamboo Rat Li said, "I've heard from the elders of my clan that the ancestral land was established by an almighty elder of the bamboo rat clan. If you fail the trial, you will at most gain nothing, but your life will not be in danger."
"However, it's hard to say how long it will take. Maybe a few months will be enough, or maybe a few years won't be enough."
What the bamboo rat Kurumi was worried about was time.
He had only been in the Tree Shade for a few years. If he had to stay in the Ancestral Land for five or seven or eight years, then wouldn't he have to eat bamboo for seven or eight years?
Sob sob sob sob —
But he didn't want to become a useless rat.
"Okay." Tang Yu waved his hand and approved.
Scarlet: "???"
Why didn't he comfort himself?
Smelly Lord!
"Oh, right." Tang Yu suddenly thought of a key point.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi's eyes lit up. As long as he prepared snacks, barbecue ingredients, and seasonings for her to eat for several years, she'll forgive him.
"You said you just received a summon from the ancestral land some time ago. Is your ancestral land so demanding?"
Some time ago, even two or three years ago, Bamboo Rat Kurumi was already at Transcendent Rank 2.
And Bamboo Rat Kurumi was only in her early twenties … Oh, so Bamboo Rat Kurumi was almost in her thirties.
Whether it was Transcendent Rank 1 or Transcendent Rank 2, Bamboo Rat Kurumi was an absolute genius at her age. It was the same on the Planet of Origin.
Could it be that the bamboo rat clan was actually a hidden powerful clan in the Endless World?
On the surface, there was no reputation, but in fact, it was a terrifying force that could compete with the Devil Clan?
After all, the summoning of the ancestral land was extraordinary!
Bamboo Rat Kurumi was stunned.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi was angry.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi didn't want to talk and threw a Grass Sprite at him.
Tang Yu: "???"
After a while, Tang Yu, who had used all his skills, finally reduced Bamboo Rat Kurumi's anger.
The price was some of his treasured food, wine, and limited edition cards.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi snorted and said, "I don't know how far the ancestral land is from Earth. It might be located in another plane. Isn't it normal for the summoning signal to be delayed? Hmph, stupid Lord! "
Bamboo Rat Kurumi's words made sense. Tang Yu was speechless.
After ransacking many large restaurants in Tree Shade City, Avenue City, and Planet Sky Blue, and filling up ten storage rings the size of football fields, Bamboo Rat Oguri reluctantly looked back every three steps, longingly looking at the food that couldn't fit into the storage ring. She gritted her teeth and accepted the call of the ancestral land.
…
In an unknown mysterious place.
There was no distinction between day and night here. The eternal galaxy hung upside down in the sky, emitting a faint light.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi was wrapped in a mysterious force and swayed for an unknown amount of time. Finally, her feet touched the ground and appeared at the foot of a mountain in the ancestral land.
"Teleportation is a bit dizzy. Poor technique!"
Bamboo Rat Kurumi slowed down and looked around.
The galaxy emitted a faint light, and a small path led straight to the top of the mountain. On both sides, there were many crisp and delicious green bamboos.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi recognized that this was a precious ingredient, Green Bamboo. In the past, she could only eat a few mouthfuls of Green Bamboo on rare occasions such as festivals. But now, at the foot of the ancestral land, Green Bamboo was everywhere, exuding a delicate fragrance.
In the depths of the Green Bamboo forest, Bamboo Rat Kurumi also smelled the fragrance of higher quality bamboo.
Her nose twitched, but she felt it was tasteless.
After tasting the delicacies of Earth, Bamboo Rat Kurumi was no longer interested in eating bamboo.
At the very least, she wanted braised firecrackers, spicy fried bamboo, fish head bamboo shoot soup, and so on.
At this time.
Bamboo Rat Kurumi noticed that not far from her, there was another bamboo rat spirit lying on the ground.
They were all the same size as her, with two ears poking out from the ends of their hair. Bamboo Rat Kurumi's eyes were filled with tears. She finally saw her fellow townsman. Finally, she wouldn't be the shortest.
"Hmm ~"
Gradually, the comatose bamboo rats woke up. In a daze, they climbed up from the cold but unshaking ground and looked around.
After a while, the foot of the mountain was full of squeaking sounds.
"Hey, you're Little Kurumi?"
Bamboo Rat Kurumi froze for a moment before she realized that she was calling herself. Who would call her that in the Tree Shade?!
The voice also sounded a little familiar.
She turned her head, and the face in front of her gradually overlapped with a face she had a slight impression of in her mind, "You're … Cousin Xiao Qin."
The bamboo rat clan did not have a surname. The elders used a single word + honorific title, and the younger generation added a "Xiao" in front of their name. If it was an underage bamboo rat, they added "Little".
Bamboo Rat Kurumi's small face turned serious, "I'm an adult! And my name is Zhu … cough, my name is Tang Xiao Li Zhi! "
Bamboo Rat Qin, "Zhi Zhi Zhi?"
Bamboo Rat Qin and Bamboo Rat Kurumi originally lived in the same bamboo rat clan.
The population was also over 10,000, but the young bamboo rat Kurumi never walked out of the bamboo forest until she was abducted to the distant earth.
She disappeared for several years.
"Where did you go? Did you find something fun?"
There was no worry in Bamboo Rat Kurumi's tone, only curiosity.
She also talked about the changes in the clan over the years, but there was no change. The bamboo rat clan was pure in nature and had no natural enemies. They lived in a place like a paradise. It was common for bamboo rats to get lost, but they would come back after a few years.
After a few years, she saw Bamboo Rat Kurumi again. Bamboo Rat Qin believed in her elder's teachings and chatted for a long time.
The other bamboo rat Kurumi was the same.
Most of them didn't know each other, but they were curious about the life of other clans. After all, the ancestral land was the ancestral land of the bamboo rat clan in the Endless World.
For a while, no bamboo rat spirit went up the mountain, as if they didn't care about the trial.
"Yes, this is the ancestral land of the trial, Zhi!"
"So this is what the ancestral land looks like. It's no different from my hometown."
"Where is the trial, Zhi? Is there an experienced senior, Zhi? "
As we all know, among a group of newbies, there would often be a veteran.
A slightly mature-looking bamboo rat spirit came out.
This was a Void Treading realm bamboo rat spirit. It was the second time she had been summoned by the ancestral land.
"The ancestral land is divided into many kinds of trials. Some are origin power trials, and some are illusion trials. There is no danger in the trial, but once you fail, you will be teleported out of the ancestral land and back to your original place.
"If you pass the trial, the ancestral land will give you corresponding rewards. For example, the origin power trial may reward you with an increase in origin power. If any of you are at the Great Perfection stage of the Awakening Order and accumulating origin power, the ancestral land's reward can help you shorten the time.
"After passing the trial, you can enter the next level.
"So, everyone should have a little confidence in yourself. As long as you don't get eliminated in the first level, you will more or less get some rewards, Zhi."
The bamboo rats were speechless.
The bamboo at the foot of the mountain was delicious, but perhaps because it was the ancestral land, the bamboo rats thought that these bamboos were worshiped for their ancestors, so no one dared to pull them up and eat them.
They walked along the winding path until they reached the mountainside, where a huge stone tablet blocked the path.
On the stone tablet, ancient bamboo rat characters slowly emerged.
"Young bamboo rat descendant, do you choose the origin power trial on the left, or the physique trial on the right?"
The words "basic trial" appeared directly above.
The slightly mature bamboo rat took the lead and pressed her small palm on the origin power trial on the left. A beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped her.
After a few minutes, the beam of light dissipated, and a white halo appeared at the feet of the slightly mature bamboo rat, indicating that she had passed the trial.
"The origin power trial is a kind of tempering. You need to mobilize the origin power in your body to resist the pressure of the trial …"
soga!
A bamboo rat nodded.
More and more bamboo rats stepped forward and chose the trial they wanted.
Most of them chose the origin power trial, while a small number chose the physique trial.
There were also many bamboo rats who were not in a hurry and treated the ancestral land's summoning as a vacation. They stood on their tiptoes on the mountainside and looked around.
It was worth mentioning that the mountain was also full of verdant bamboo forests.
One after another, bamboo rats passed the trial, and the same white halo appeared under their feet.
At this time.
One of the pillars of light suddenly trembled, and then shattered with a bang, revealing a dejected little face within.
"If I had known, I would have chosen the physique trial, squeak —"
An invisible force fell and enveloped the bamboo rat who had failed the trial. The next moment, her figure disappeared without a trace.
Only a group of excited bamboo rats were left behind.
"Someone failed, squeak!"
"So the beam of light vibrates when the trial fails, squeak!"
Bamboo Rat Oguri suddenly felt that her own kind was very unreliable. Sure enough, she was a bamboo rat who had broken away from bad taste.
Bamboo Rat Qin, who came from the same tribe as her, also stepped forward. Many bamboo rats who had passed the first trial passed through the huge stone tablet and continued to go up.
Bamboo Rat Oguri was still in deep thought.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, she no longer dawdled. She stepped forward and stretched out … her left and right hand, pressing on the left and right sides of the stone tablet.
Di di di —
The stone tablet did not respond. Bamboo Rat Oguri kicked it. "Is it broken? Has it expired? "
The huge stone tablet: "…"
She reluctantly withdrew one hand, and finally, a beam of light shrouded her.
A strange pressure acted on her body, and the origin power in her body seemed to stagnate.
Bamboo Rat Oguri curled her lips. "Isn't it just suppressing the domain and suppressing only the origin power?"
She was about to use the origin power to resist this pressure, but suddenly, the beam of light shrank back and disappeared. Only a white halo appeared under her feet, proving that she had successfully passed the trial.
Bamboo Rat Oguri: "⊙ (?? ◇??)? "
What happened? Squeak!
Don't walk so fast!
Bamboo Rat Oguri couldn't catch the retracted beam of light. She reached out and pressed on the 'physique' trial on the right side, but there was no response.
She expressed her disappointment. "Where is the origin power? What happened to the increase in the origin power? Liar! "
Bamboo Rat Oguri, who had increased the upper limit of the origin power by about 0.1%, crossed the first stone tablet and continued to walk to the top of the mountain.
The second trial tested the use of the spiritual power, and there was only one choice.
When Bamboo Rat Oguri arrived, there were many bamboo rats in the trial state.
She pressed on it, and the beam of light shrouded it. What appeared in front of Bamboo Rat Oguri was a spiritual power puzzle-solving diagram, which required the careful use of spiritual power to solve.
This stage took a lot more time. Bamboo Rat Shiro felt that she could finally experience the trial's stage properly.
Then.
She extended her spiritual power.
The puzzle-solving diagram dissipated.
Beep, the trial passed.
Bamboo Rat Oguri: "???"
Another wave of power descended, increasing her spiritual power by about 1%.
She curled her lips and continued to walk up.
At the third trial, there were fewer bamboo rats in front of the huge stone tablet. Bamboo Rat Qin, who set off first, also arrived at the third trial.
She was surprised to see Bamboo Rat Oguri, "Weren't you only at the Seventh or Eighth Awakening Stage a few years ago? Could it be that you're already … "
Bamboo Rat Qin was much older than Bamboo Rat Oguri, and she had already reached the Transcendent rank.
She was the most outstanding member of this trial group of bamboo rats.
Her speed was second only to the senior bamboo rat who qualified for the second trial.
Bamboo Rat Oguri snorted proudly. She looked at the engravings on the huge stone tablet. The theme of this trial was illusion. There were illusion use, illusion resistance, illusion environment construction, and so on. Moreover, it was a multiple-choice question.
Bamboo Rat Oguri stretched out her hand and pressed all the trial options from left to right at an extremely fast speed.
