Chapter 121 The Wisdom of Lu Yangxianweng
The moment Fury crossed the red line, his Iron Mantis moved.
As Yuan Feng had guessed, the speed of the Iron Mantis depended on the speed of the escapee.
Nu Shi ran some distance and was about to thank Yuan Feng for the reminder.
When he turned around, he found that Yuan Feng was far behind.
Nu Shi didn’t think much about it, he just thought that Yuan Feng started late, so he fell behind so much.
But the more he ran, the more he found something wrong. Yuan Feng was riding on the puppet, but it was not moving in a straight line. Instead, it was moving slowly as if it was looking for something.
Are you sure you won’t be caught up by Iron Mantis?
Nu Shi looked back at the Iron Mantis that was chasing him. Even if he slowed down, the Iron Mantis's initial speed was still very fast, and it could not maintain distance if it did not run in a straight line.
Looking at Yuan Feng again, Nu Shi discovered something shocking: the Iron Mantis that was chasing Yuan Feng was gone.
Yuan Feng looked down at his jade pendant.
"So killing the Iron Mantis gives you 2,000 points."
He used to feel sorry for wasting a feather, but now he doesn't feel sorry anymore.
Anyway, the feathers will be used up in the end, so it’s not a loss to exchange them for points now.
Besides, he had something important to do with the feathers, and he couldn't do it without them.
It is obviously difficult to find a book while being chased by the Iron Mantis.
So Yuan Feng simply used the feather with the power of out-of-body attack to directly get rid of the iron mantis.
At the beginning, he still had concerns, fearing that killing the Iron Mantis would not be in line with the idea of the test set by Immortal Lu Yang, and that he would be punished.
However, there is not only no punishment for killing the Iron Mantis, but also a reward.
It seems that Immortal Lu Yang did not blindly encourage escape, and different ways of breaking the deadlock were also recognized.
Or maybe there was a flaw in my speculation, and Immortal Lu Yang's original intention was not to encourage escape. From the moment he sent the magic talisman, he was simply misleading.
Yuan Feng was thinking while looking for the book he wanted.
"Perhaps... this iron mantis was meant to be killed."
If this Iron Mantis was placed on the first level, all the contenders for the secret realm would have just entered the secret realm and their realm would be stuck at the Qi Refining Stage. Naturally, their only choice would be to escape.
But this is the fifth floor. There are several floors ahead where everyone has the opportunity to rest and even practice.
It’s just that everyone thinks that the spiritual energy in this secret realm is thin, so they didn’t choose to practice.
Thinking of this, Yuan Feng seemed to understand something.
Everyone seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding. Since one has to be in the Qi Refining Stage to enter the secret realm, everyone is stuck in the Qi Refining Stage.
And because the spiritual energy in the secret realm was thin, the idea of building a foundation was completely abandoned.
But is this really what Immortal Lu Yang wants?
Recalling the life of Immortal Lu Yang.
He is extremely intelligent and is a master among masters in refining weapons, elixirs, spiritual herbs, puppets, talismans, and even in creating martial arts techniques.
Such a genius who is proficient in everything, finally failed at the realm. The reason he stopped was that his desire for the realm was probably deeper than anyone else's.
Now, they are deliberately preventing contenders from improving their realm in the inheritance secret realm. Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable.
Yuan Feng understood!
Immortal Lu Yang did this not to prevent the contender from improving his realm.
Instead, he is choosing the successor he wants.
What Immortal Lu Yang wanted was a successor who could continuously improve his realm despite numerous difficulties, so as to make up for his regret of stopping at the Nascent Soul stage.
When Yuan Feng came up with this guess, he was shocked.
There is no other reason. Such an idea is too simple. It is hard to imagine that this idea comes from a genius with extraordinary IQ, and it is hard to imagine that such an idea comes from an immortal with ethereal aura.
Afterwards, Yuan Feng felt relieved.
Sometimes, when we understand a person, we are easily misled by his aura.
If you think about it calmly, this secret realm was built by Immortal Lu Yang when he knew that there was no hope for him to break through and his time was up.
Then we have to think from the perspective of a dying old man, rather than looking at the huge halo of Immortal Lu Yang.
Thinking back on it, there was no hint, no evidence that one would be eliminated if one broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the secret realm.
We have never dared to break through, it is just the shackles we have imposed on ourselves.
In summary, the real way to complete these layers of tests is to keep breaking through. As for how to break through in the secret realm with thin spiritual energy, that is one part of the test.
The conclusion is bold, and Yuan Feng is willing to give it a try.
If you are wrong, at most you will lose the qualification to become the successor.
But if it is right, he thought of it before others, which is a considerable advantage.
Due to the previous level, he is no longer leading in points. Looking at the future trend, the gap between him and others in points will only be widened by others.
Building a foundation is a good way to break the deadlock.
He made a decision, but he did not start building the foundation immediately. He wanted to find the book on this level first.
The fifth floor is a huge passage with bumpy ground.
The only possible place for the book to be hidden was in the pit.
Yuan Feng rode the scorpion and checked each pit one by one, and found that most of the pits were exits to the secret realm.
No wonder the Iron Mantis stopped moving after someone jumped into the pit just now. That person has already left the secret realm and lost his qualifications as the inheritor. Now that he is no longer in this secret realm, the Iron Mantis naturally stops moving.
Looking at the quiet Iron Mantis, Yuan Feng had no intention of killing it.
Iron Mantis is not moving now, but what if he moves again after attacking.
If you want to kill it, you must use feathers again.
Killing the iron centipede that was chasing him was a last resort, but killing this one was purely for points.
Two thousand points is a lot, but it’s not worth it to exchange them for a blow from a master in the out-of-body stage.
Moreover, it is not 100% certain that these two thousand points can be obtained. What if Immortal Lu Yang sets a setting in which no points will be awarded for killing other people's Iron Mantises?
Then all his efforts would be in vain, and he would have to swallow his tears of grievance.
Yuan Feng shook his head and continued to look for the book, ignoring the iron mantis.
After searching more than a dozen pits, he actually found a book in a pit, just thrown into the pit casually.
There is no intention of hiding at all.
Yuan Feng could understand why it didn't hide. If he didn't have a killer move that could kill the Iron Mantis in one move, the fourth-level Iron Mantis would have kept pestering him.
If Immortal Lu Yang hides the book in a set environment, no one will have a chance to find it.
The way the book is placed further proves Yuan Feng's guess.
The purpose of selecting the successor of this secret realm is to observe the successor's growth step by step, rather than to restrict the successor.
As for the person who died on the second floor, it was simply an accident.
I'm afraid that when Immortal Lu Yang set up the mechanism, he didn't expect that someone would die in such an obvious trap.
Yuan Feng turned his attention back to the book in his hand.
The blue book cover has a name this time.
[The Book of Speed]
"The Book of Speed?"
Are you going to teach yourself speed-related skills?
After Yuan Feng opened the book, he realized that he had been too conservative.
The Book of Speed burst into blue light and turned into a ball of light and jumped into Yuan Feng's body.
Yuan Feng was still surprised.
A magical feeling came over me.
“It’s actually enlightenment!”
Through the Book of Speed, he gained a glimpse of Immortal Lu Yang's understanding of the law of speed.
To know and comprehend the laws, one must reach the Dongxu realm above the Spirit Transformation stage.
Immortal Lu Yang can actually comprehend the laws with his Nascent Soul body.
Yuan Feng's admiration for Immortal Lu Yang's wisdom can no longer be described as admiration, he can only say that he is completely impressed.
