Chapter 2109 Trial Of Discovery

Chapter 2109 Trial Of Discovery

Lin Mu could accurately gage that the multiple branches he was seeing were coming from other locations of the trials.

"Nine branches... Nine Teleportation channels." Lin Mu spoke.

"Nine... So the others will be taking the same path in the end." Lady Kang replied.

"They just might if the trial they area in similar to us. Though I reckon they will be in different ones." Lin Mu replied. "Considering that strange energy that imbues life into different materials, there could be more such trials with different habitats." He explained.

"Hmm... we saw the beasts that were purely condensed out of that energy before... then the Lava ones here and you've said you've encountered them before too." Lady Kang replied.

"I've also encountered those made from earth and mud." Lin Mu added.

"So that means your guess is highly likely to be accurate." Lady Kang nodded. "While having similar trials is common in many inheritance grounds, with a Celestial's inheritance I can't help but think they won't keep it this simple." She stated.

"Indeed... To make things more complex an unpredictable they are likely to change it around." Lin Mu said. "If the others got different habitats, the time needed for them might be different too." He guessed.

"I see... so there is a chance we might be the first ones there." Lady Kang wondered.

"Or the last." Lin Mu didn't leave out that possibility either.

After all they had been here for over two months now. Whatever might in held in the future for them, the only way to figure that out was to proceed through the Teleportation gate and see how it worked.

"Time to head in, no use in us waiting here." Lin Mu said looking at the gate.

"Alright." Lady Kang nodded and Lin Mu quickly sent the beasts into the Sleepscape.

This would keep them safe and ensure that they all ended up at the same place. ~SHUA~

But just as they were about to step in, runes appeared in the air.

'Trial of Discovery passed.'

Lin Mu and Lady Kang both saw this finding that it was indeed accurate to the contents of the trial.

'We had to discover the method to get out which was the keys.' Lin Mu thought.

'We had to discover the keys that were needed for it without knowing where or how to get them.' Lady Kang thought.

'If one didn't take the risks to find the keys forge out their own path in the unknown, they would certainly fail this trial... The Trial of discovery.' They both thought.

Their gazes lingered the runes for a bit until they disappeared.

Next, Lin Mu and Lady Kang stepped through the Teleportation gate that was made out of lava, rocks and stones, together. As soon as they did, they found their bodies becoming weightless, making them aware that the Teleportation had begun.

There were one trials that could have a trick to move onto the next round. Sometimes one might not have finished all the conditions needed to finish the trial and become unable to proceed to the next stage.

This was intentional and was intended for the trial takers to have good analysis skills as well as the drive to explore all options.

If one didn't do so, they might end up getting soft-locked in their trial.

The way to get out of that would not always be available to them and they could very well end up dying there if the trial creator was not a forgiving individual.

There had been no lack of cultivators that had forever become trapped in the trials, unable to ever exit it.

Though there could be some that managed to get out of it through unorthodox means. But those that could, were far and few in between. And even those that did needed to have the fortune of heavens on their side.

This was one of the biggest reasons why such trials were risky and one needed to be well prepared.

~CLACK~CLACK~CLACK~

Lin Mu decided to test some things first and inserted more keys into the holes and turned them.

"They all turn." Lin Mu replied.

"Hmm... use all the keys we have for now. Perhaps there might be a chance once we do that." Lady Kang added.

"Alright." Lin Mu said and inserted the rest of the keys.

Once he had done that, all the keys in the outermost circle of holes were turned.

~SHUA~

Once he did that, the outermost circle started to glow in a faint light showing that this was indeed what they were supposed to do.

"No more keys." Lin Mu replied, seeing that they needed to fill more holes.

"I don't think we are supposed to fill all of them alone." Lady Kang replied before turning to the spot they had come from.

It was very faint, but one could see a circle there.

"Can you see the other spots?" Lady Kang asked.

Lin Mu spread his immortal sense and found nine more spots around the entire dome, spread out in an equidistant manner. "Yeah... Theres more of them." Lin Mu said before using his spatial perception and observing the Teleportation channels.

"Looks like this trial was a composite one... it was never meant for us to be completed alone." Lady Kang stated. "We need to wait for the others to arrive." She added.

"So we really did end up being the first ones here." Lin Mu muttered as a few thoughts appeared in his mind. "It took us over two months to finish this. Will the others be able to finish it soon?" he wondered.

"I don't know. All we can do right now is wait and watch." Lady Kang replied.
