As time passed, more and more people reached the top of the mountain.
Xiao Ming, Fengli, and the others also came up one after another. Unsurprisingly, the three of them did not manage to grab a single golden leaf!
The three of them also noticed the golden leaf in Xiao Chen's hand, and their faces showed the same astonishment!
This was because both Nan Mo and Ling Ming did not manage to grab it.
However, the three of them were also very wise not to say anything, for fear of arousing the dissatisfaction of Nan Mo and Ling Ming.
Xiao Chen nodded at them as a greeting.
It was very quiet on the top of the mountain. Almost no one spoke. Even those who were familiar with each other just nodded, greeted each other, then sat down and began to adjust their breathing to recover.
Time passed slowly, and the one-day time limit set by the puppet was almost up.
Xiao Chen's heart was a little perturbed, because so far, he had not seen Hong Yin come up.
"Senior Brother Hong Yin, could it be that something happened to him halfway?" Xiao Chen whispered.
Han Han and the others were already on the top of the mountain, but only Hong Yin did not come up.
He was a little worried that something had happened to him.
Logically speaking, with Hong Yin's strength, it should not be a problem to successfully reach the top of the mountain within a day.
However, until now, he still did not come up. Xiao Chen could not help but feel a little worried.
After all, if it was because he had used up the Spirit Traversing Talisman, causing Hong Yin to be unable to reach the top, he would definitely feel very guilty.
However, fortunately, just as the time limit was about to be exceeded, Hong Yin finally set foot on the top of the mountain.
This also made Xiao Chen's heart heave a sigh of relief.
Although he very much wanted to ask Hong Yin if something had happened to make him come up so late, it was obviously not a good time to ask.
This was because the puppet had appeared on the top of the mountain again.
"The time is up, the remaining people have not succeeded in reaching the top, and have lost the qualification to participate in the third round of assessment!" The puppet glanced at the people on the top of the mountain and said lightly.
Currently, there were about 300 people who had successfully reached the top of the mountain. This second round of assessment had eliminated more than 100 people.
This ratio was neither high nor low.
Because such an important treasure naturally couldn't be easily obtained by others. But to be honest, in this second test, as long as one wasn't greedy enough to snatch the golden leaves, as long as one successfully reached the top, it wouldn't be too difficult!
However, there were still more than a hundred people who failed, which was quite surprising.
After all, those who could take part in the test were the best cultivators in the Genuine Celestial Realm. But they still failed!
Xiao Chen also looked around. More than three hundred people were going through the final test. He just didn't know who would be able to obtain the treasure left behind by the owner of the Cloud Mystic Realm.
However, what surprised everyone was that everyone thought that there were only three directions to the mountain and only nine golden leaves. The last one should be fought for at the top of the mountain!
However, the reality was that there were a total of 10 people on the mountaintop who were all holding onto a golden leaf. This caused all those who had held onto a sliver of hope to fall into despair.
Now that the puppet had appeared, it meant that they no longer had a chance to obtain the golden leaf.
This made some people extremely angry!
At this moment, he looked at Xiao Chen with a gaze that could devour someone!
If it wasn't for Xiao Chen, he would have been able to obtain the golden leaf!
In fact, it wasn't just Leng Han who was so angry! There were also many people who were equally angry, but at this moment, what was done could not be undone. In front of the puppet, no one dared to say anything. Although they didn't quite understand why it was different from what they had imagined, the reality was that they really didn't have a chance.
No matter how angry they were, it was useless. Because no one knew which direction the last golden leaf would appear from.
Now that the puppet was also looking at them, no one dared to communicate with it. Hence, they could only swallow their anger silently.
"Alright, the last stage of the test begins! Now, all of you will enter this cloud pagoda. There will be all sorts of tests in the cloud pagoda, including illusions, powerful wild beasts, and even some insidious methods! The cloud pagoda has a total of nine levels. Only by passing all nine levels will you be qualified to obtain the item left behind by the master! "The puppet calmly introduced the rules of the final test to everyone.
Then, it said coldly, "I need to remind you that even if you fail the first two tests, you will only be disqualified and not die. However, in the cloud pagoda, if you fail, you will die immediately!"
"What?"
Just as the puppet finished speaking, there was a burst of whispers on the mountaintop!
This was because the rules were very cruel.
However, if you failed, you would lose your life. It was too cruel.
However, before they could object, the puppet's cold voice came again. "Furthermore, the cloud pagoda doesn't accept losers. Once you enter, you can only survive if you kill all the monsters or pass the test of this level. Even if you admit defeat, it will be useless. You will be executed immediately!"
"So, I advise you to act within your means. If you want to leave alive, there is only one way. After passing the test of this level, you can choose to enter the next level or leave directly. If you choose to enter the next level, as mentioned before, unless you pass the test, you will die!
If you choose to leave, you will not receive any rewards or benefits. The only benefit is that you will be able to keep your lives! "
"So, little fellows, if your strength is not enough, don't be greedy. The cloud pagoda has a total of nine levels, and the difficulty of each level's test will increase exponentially! Passing the first level does not mean that you will be able to pass the test of the higher levels. That's all I have to say. Now, you have one chance to choose whether or not you want to enter the cloud pagoda to accept the test! "
"If you are afraid, you can leave now. You will also be able to live. Also, those who have just obtained the golden leaf will get an additional chance to fail! Those who have the golden leaf will not die after failing! "
"I will give you the time to drink a cup of tea to choose. After that time, you can either enter the cloud pagoda or leave!"
After saying this, the puppet didn't say anything else. It was obviously giving everyone time to choose.
Everyone looked at each other. Only now did they realize the cruelty of this test.
If they entered the cloud pagoda, they would die if they were not careful!
However, they were unwilling to not enter. So, they were at a loss as to what to choose. However, those who had the golden leaf all heaved a sigh of relief. Because even if they made a mistake and entered a level that they could not pass with their strength, they would not die even if they failed. This was equivalent to a layer of protection for their lives!
