First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 100: Allocation (Seeking Subscriptions)

Chapter 99: Allocation

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

Shen Mo took a deep breath and stepped onto the giant iron cable that stretched across the sea of fire, walking slowly and steadily.

In the first few steps, nothing unusual happened.

But when Shen Mo took the fifth step, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in his eyes, blocking his vision.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on Earth instead of the familiar cultivation world he had grown accustomed to.

Immediately after, his father, mother, younger sister, classmates, and many other people from Earth who had been buried deep in his memory began to appear before his eyes.

"How is this possible? No, it's an illusion."

He was slightly startled, but quickly realized that everything in front of him was fake.

So he quickened his pace and continued to cross the sea of fire formed by the flames of the earth's core.

However, the closer Shen Mo got to the other side as he crossed forward, the more his heart was filled with restless emotions.

"Father, mother..."

Although he knew it was fake, a strange force made it difficult for Shen Mo to calm down.

He had already walked a long way, leaving his parents and friends behind.

But there was always a voice in his heart that made him unable to resist the urge to turn around and see what his parents looked like.

"All that has passed, like yesterday's death."

Just as Shen Mo struggled, a cool sensation swept through his mind, instantly awakening him.

It was the "Soul Visualization Scripture."

This soul cultivation technique that he had cultivated gave him assistance at a critical moment, allowing him to see through the illusion.

Shen Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked back, but there was no one behind him.

Below him, the molten lava churned continuously.

He stood above the iron cable, already halfway through, with only five steps left to reach the other side.

After seeing through the illusion, Shen Mo faced no more obstacles and quickly took steps towards the stone steps leading to the other side.

With Shen Mo's smooth passage without any danger, this stage of the trial was completely over.

More than seventy people entered the tomb, and except for those who gave up halfway, most of the remaining people were eliminated in these two stages.

Only Shen Mo, Lu Ming, Li Chen, and Xiao Ling'er, the outstanding disciples of the three major immortal sects, successfully passed the trial.

"They have already gone up!"

Without lingering in place to celebrate for too long, after Shen Mo reached the other side of the stone steps, he climbed up the stairs and headed towards the interior of the real tomb.

The end of the stone steps was a courtyard.

This courtyard was not very large, but it was tranquil and elegant.

When Shen Mo arrived, Lu Ming and the others had already arrived and searched through everything.

"I thought only the three of us would pass, but I didn't expect there to be another kid."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw Shen Mo, who arrived late.

Xiao Ling'er also stared at Shen Mo with her beautiful eyes. Although she didn't say anything, it was clear that she was also surprised.

She hadn't paid attention to Shen Mo before and didn't think he had the ability to pass the trial.

Only Lu Ming had a faint smile on his face. "I knew you would come."

"We have found everything."

Lu Ming pointed to several stone tables beside him and said, "The Spirit Talisman Master left behind a total of five jade boxes. Let's discuss how to distribute them."

Shen Mo followed his gaze and noticed that there were five square jade boxes made of white jade on the stone tables.

The material of these jade boxes was obviously quite special. When Shen Mo tried to use his divine sense to explore the contents inside, he found that he couldn't see anything at all.

"Don't waste your effort. These are Heaven-Locking Boxes that can block all divine sense."

"Anyway, no one knows what treasures are inside. To be fair, let's each choose one."

"Four jade boxes, divided equally among us, one for each person."

"As for the extra jade box..."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming suggested, "I have two proposals. Either let the person who wants it buy it with Spirit Stones, and the remaining three people split the Spirit Stones."

"Either we fight here in this courtyard, and the winner takes all."

Although the four of them belong to different sects, after days of searching for relics, they have all made gains and do not want to fall short at the last moment.

Even though they all have their own thoughts, they discuss and there is not much scheming or intrigue.

In addition, the four of them are all outstanding disciples among the three sects, and their future activities will not be limited to their respective sects.

As they travel within the Red Flame Kingdom, they will encounter many places.

Therefore, although they are not very familiar with each other, they will not directly tear each other apart in this mountain and river boundary.

"Let's choose two."

Li Chen frowned and quickly said, "I want to get an extra jade box, but I don't have any spirit stones on me."

"Miss Xiao, what do you think?"

Lu Ming nodded and looked at Xiao Linger.

"I also agree that the capable should take it."

She is obviously quite confident in her own strength.

"Now that we all agree to settle it with force, the winner takes all, but we stop when someone is hit."

Lu Ming nodded and selected one jade box, then let Shen Mo and the others choose from the remaining three jade boxes.

"It seems that it's hard to tell which one is good or bad."

Although they cannot use their divine sense to probe the treasures inside the jade boxes, Shen Mo, relying on his special destiny of "Gaze Like a Torch," can still discern some clues.

When two purple mists rose from his eyes, the brilliance of the jade boxes gradually emerged.

Among the five jade boxes, the contents of four of them are basically of the same level, with similar brilliance, all of them being valuable treasures.

Only one of the jade boxes has very little brilliance, indicating that the contents inside are of a much lower level than the other four jade boxes.

He avoided the worst one and blindly chose one.

After Shen Mo made his selection, Xiao Linger and Li Chen also finished their own selections.

Then, Lu Ming placed the last remaining jade box on the stone table.

A path was drawn in the courtyard as the arena for the martial arts competition.

"This line is the boundary. If someone is blasted out of bounds, they will be considered the loser."

Lu Ming said, looking towards Shen Mo, "Shen Junior Brother, will you participate?"

"I'll pass."

After hearing Lu Ming's arrangement, Shen Mo shook his head.

He had fought against Xun Tian before, and although the final outcome was Xun Tian being heavily injured by him, Shen Mo knew that his victory was actually very lucky, and it might not be replicated again.

And coincidentally, the jade box that was left behind by everyone was the worst one.

In a real fight to the death, the winner who obtains the jade box will most likely be disappointed with the reward. Shen Mo wisely withdrew from this useless competition.

"Then let the three of us fight."

Seeing that Shen Mo was not participating, Lu Ming did not try to persuade him.

He jumped into the arena and took his stance.

"Boom!"

Lu Ming directly took out the Thunder Banner, and arcs of purple lightning constantly danced in his palm.

Li Chen was also prepared, taking out a blood-colored broadsword.

"Mysterious Yin Slash!"

He made the first move, and the blade aura was like the Nine Nether Blades, slashing straight towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming immediately activated the Five Thunder Law and struck a purple thunderbolt, pushing Li Chen back.

At the same time, Xiao Linger unsheathed her Moonlight Sword from her waist.

The long sword was icy cold, like moonlight in the sky.

The three of them fought fiercely.

For a while, the courtyard was filled with the long-lost wind and thunder due to their intense battle.

[You are observing the battle and seeing three peerless geniuses of the same level unleashing their ultimate moves, fighting with all their might, and you can't help but feel excited.]

[After watching the battle, your horizons have greatly expanded, and your practical combat experience has improved.]

During the observation, messages began to appear on Shen Mo's destiny panel.

After realizing the benefits of watching the battle, Shen Mo became even more focused on the ongoing battle in front of him.
