Just as Xiao Lingyu was slowly approaching the island in the small boat, more and more cultivators were rushing over from where he had set off.
Everyone looked at the chains, the small bridge, the small boat, and the Teleportation Formation with complicated expressions on their faces.
Which choice was the simplest one? No one could be sure.
Someone had entered the Teleportation Formation and disappeared. Apart from Xiao Lingyu, no one knew that the cultivators who had entered the Teleportation Formation had lost their chance to obtain the treasure.
Many of the more rational cultivators did not choose the Teleportation Formation. Some of them did not even make a choice. They wanted to observe Xiao Lingyu's situation. If Xiao Lingyu successfully reached the other side of the island on the small boat, they would definitely choose the small boat without hesitation.
However, some people did not want to wait. Everyone knew that if they reached the other side earlier, they would be able to see the treasure earlier.
Some of the cultivators who did not want to observe chose the small boat, some chose the chains, and naturally, some chose the small bridge.
The Body Integration cultivator wrapped in a black robe was naturally unwilling to wait. However, like Xiao Lingyu, he did not choose the chains or the small bridge. Instead, he chose the small boat.
The cultivators who chose the chains safely walked one-third of the way. However, the chains began to shake uncontrollably. Waves of fire constantly surged from the sea of fire and attacked the cultivators who were walking on the chains. An Out of Body Integration cultivator was unlucky. He was only halfway through the journey when he was engulfed by the waves of fire and burned into nothingness.
The cultivators who were walking on the wooden plank bridge did not have it easy either. Not only were they attacked by the waves of fire, but the wooden planks on the wooden plank bridge were also fake. If they accidentally stepped on the fake wooden planks, they would directly fall into the sea of fire.
It could be said that the small boat, the chains, and the wooden plank bridge were all very difficult to cross.
The small boat seemed to be indestructible by the waves of fire and could protect the cultivators. However, if the cultivators were not strong enough and could not stabilize the small boat, they would fall into the sea of fire.
The Body Integration cultivator's cultivation was relatively strong. Although he had set off a little late, he quickly caught up with Xiao Lingyu.
The Body Integration cultivator who was walking side by side with Xiao Lingyu glanced at Xiao Lingyu. He was very curious about this young cultivator who had arrived first. However, he could not use his spiritual sense here, so he could not see through Xiao Lingyu's strength. However, from the way Xiao Lingyu was struggling to steer the small boat and constantly drinking spirit liquid, he could tell that Xiao Lingyu's strength was not very strong.
The Body Integration cultivator seemed to be more relaxed. However, he was only halfway through the journey. The real test was at the end of the journey.
However, the Body Integration cultivator laughed strangely at Xiao Lingyu. Then, he waved his hand and shot out a beam of spiritual light. He wanted to attack Xiao Lingyu.
The beam of spiritual light was extremely fast, but it was under great pressure. In the end, it could not reach Xiao Lingyu. Instead, it exploded not far from Xiao Lingyu's small boat, setting off a fierce wave of fire that swept towards Xiao Lingyu.
"Damn you!"
Xiao Lingyu cursed loudly. She poured all her strength into the small boat. Even so, the small boat was swept away by the wave of fire. Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu used all her strength and the boat did not capsize.
"Haha!"
The Body Integration cultivator laughed and said, "You want to snatch the treasure with such little strength? You really don't know what's good for you!"
Perhaps the Body Integration cultivator felt that Xiao Lingyu's strength was too weak and did not pose a threat to him at all. After laughing, he distanced himself from Xiao Lingyu.
"You better not give me a chance. Otherwise, I'll stab you in the butt!"
Xiao Lingyu stabilized the small boat. Seeing that the other party had left, his heart calmed down. However, he could not help but curse in his heart.
The consumption of his strength was increasing. If it wasn't for the fact that he could use the spiritual liquid without refining it, he would not have been able to persist.
After barely holding on for a while, he let go of his hand. He wanted to let the snake, who had transformed into a small snake, try. However, he found that the palm print, which was obviously a human's palm print, could not accept the snake's strength at all.
Xiao Lingyu could only continue. However, when he saw the cultivators on the wooden bridge fall into the sea of fire one by one, he felt a lot better. He was secretly glad that he did not choose the small bridge.
The first person to reach the small island was not Xiao Lingyu, nor was it the Body Integration cultivator. Instead, it was a Severed Soul Stage cultivator who walked on the iron chain.
From this, it could be seen that walking on the iron chain was actually the easiest, while walking on the bridge was the most dangerous. Just as Xiao Lingyu expected, although the difficulty of taking the boat was high, it was the safest.
The second person to reach the small island was the Body Integration cultivator. The third person was not Xiao Lingyu, but a Severed Soul Stage cultivator who walked on the iron chain.
By the time all the cultivators reached the small island, they had either been burned to death or had already reached the small island. Xiao Lingyu was still a third of the way to the small island.
What made him a little depressed was that the first three cultivators to reach the small island all received rewards from the sky. The first was a high-grade spiritual armor, the second was a high-grade spiritual sword, and the third was a high-grade refining material.
"There is already a high-grade spiritual weapon as a reward here. There must be a top-grade spiritual weapon or even an immortal weapon later!" The Severed Soul Stage cultivator who reached the small island first was probably afraid that the Body Integration cultivator would snatch his spiritual armor, so he said this.
"Your spiritual armor is not bad. If this old man didn't already have a high-grade spiritual armor, I would have traded this high-grade spiritual sword and some spirit stones with you," the Body Integration cultivator said indifferently.
After consuming more than half of the spirit liquid he had collected, Xiao Lingyu finally reached the small island. At this time, the cultivators who had arrived before him had already disappeared.
Xiao Lingyu came too late and was not ranked at all, so he did not receive any rewards. Behind him, there were many cultivators who had just arrived on the small boat, the iron chain, and the wooden bridge. In the end, it would be good if one-fifth of the cultivators reached the small island safely. Moreover, they came too late and did not receive any rewards at all.
The other cultivators had already set off, but Xiao Lingyu was not in a hurry. He knew that the fastest person would not necessarily get the best treasures.
The small island was not big and was almost completely occupied by the mountain in front of him. The real treasure was at the top of the mountain, but there was a huge pressure here. It was not easy to reach the top of the mountain. Even the Body Integration cultivator would have to spend a lot of effort.
If Xiao Lingyu went up the mountain under normal circumstances, even with the help of the mountain, he would have to suffer a lot before he could slowly climb up the mountain. However, he would not do that.
He walked to the back of the mountain and found a stone Qilin.
This stone Qilin statue was among the stones as if it had been abandoned here aimlessly. There was an obvious groove on its forehead, which looked a little strange.
Xiao Lingyu took out the Qilin's horn and filled it into the groove on the stone Qilin statue's forehead.
The Qilin statue slowly moved, revealing a low door.
Xiao Lingyu happily went through the doorway and saw a stone staircase that went straight up. He walked up the staircase.
Not long after Xiao Lingyu entered the door, a Severed Soul Stage cultivator appeared in front of the door. This cultivator was the one who saw Xiao Lingyu break off the Qilin's horn. He was also the third cultivator to reach the island.
"There is indeed a problem. Fortunately, I waited for him for a while." The Severed Soul Stage cultivator said proudly and then went into the door.
The biggest reason why he waited for Xiao Lingyu was not that he suspected that there was a problem with Xiao Lingyu breaking off the Qilin's horn, but that he did not want to climb the mountain with the Body Integration cultivator. Even if he climbed up, with the Body Integration cultivator around, what benefits could he get?
Xiao Lingyu had just taken a few steps when he found that someone was following behind him. He looked back in surprise.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator walked up and said politely, "This little brother is really strange. You actually know about this secret passage."
Xiao Lingyu said politely, "I can't guarantee whether this passage is safe or not, but if senior is willing to go with me, junior will be happy to have an expert like you to take care of me."
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator nodded and said, "As long as little brother doesn't take me to death, I will naturally take care of you."
Xiao Lingyu knew that if this guy didn't need him to lead the way, he might have directly killed him.
He didn't want to make too many mistakes. After all, the other party didn't show any malice, so he didn't let the big snake move. Instead, he walked in front fearlessly and continued to climb.
With the big snake, why would Xiao Lingyu be afraid of a Severed Soul Stage cultivator?
Although this was a shortcut and there was no danger, it was definitely not easy to reach the destination. The higher they went, the greater the pressure in the space. However, the increase in pressure was much smaller than outside.
Xiao Lingyu was only an existence comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. As he walked, he couldn't take it anymore. Not only did his speed slow down, beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead, and he was panting heavily.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator looked relaxed. He walked in front of Xiao Lingyu, grabbed Xiao Lingyu's shoulder, and carried Xiao Lingyu forward.
However, as they continued to climb, the Severed Soul Stage cultivator released a defensive barrier to protect Xiao Lingyu, so that Xiao Lingyu would not be affected by the pressure.
Xiao Lingyu had a good impression of this Severed Soul Stage cultivator at this time. After all, he was helped by him.
Half an hour later, the stone steps came to an end, but there was a stone door blocking the way.
At the door of the stone door, there was a stone sculpture of a one-eyed beast.
"Little Brother, you should have a way to open this stone door, right?"
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator used all his strength but still couldn't open the stone door, so he asked Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu nodded, then took out a stone one-eyed beast and stuffed it into the groove on the head of the one-eyed beast.
After the stone sculpture of the one-eyed beast shook for a while, the stone door slowly opened, and a stone staircase still extending upward came into view.
As they continued to climb the stairs, the pressure in the space continued to increase, but the Severed Soul Stage cultivator was still able to hold on.
But half an hour later, the pressure in the space was so great that even the Severed Soul Stage cultivator felt very strained. However, a stone door that was completely open could already be seen.
After a few more steps, they would reach the end of the stone staircase.
Seeing this situation, the Severed Soul Stage cultivator smiled at Xiao Lingyu, then withdrew the defensive barrier on Xiao Lingyu and walked forward alone.
The defensive barrier suddenly disappeared, and the huge pressure immediately caused Xiao Lingyu to fall on the stone staircase. His bones made a crisp sound.
