Sikong Hongyu took out the key made of three pieces and put it into a small hole on the stone door. After turning it gently, a low vibration sound was heard, and another stone door appeared out of thin air on the right rear side of the three people, but there was a faint colorful halo flowing on this stone door.

"Once you pass this stone gate, the test from Taoist Wujiu will begin." Sikong Hongyu's tone was rarely fluctuating.

"Take a day's rest first, recover your spirit, and adjust your state before entering the stone gate." After several days of traveling and crossing mountains and ridges, the few people were not exhausted, but they were also slightly affected. After waiting for such a long time, Sikong Hongyu was not in a hurry for this day.

Moreover, if you make the wrong choice in the next test, the attack from the maze formation cannot be underestimated.

The three of them naturally had no objection to this. They each chose a place to sit cross-legged and silently practiced their skills to recover.

A day passed in a flash, and the four of them finally confirmed that they were ready. Then, led by Sikong Hongyu, they filed in, stepped through the stone gate, and disappeared.

……

Behind the stone door was a maze. Once you stepped in, you felt like you were in another world. Everything here was gray and hazy, and there was nothingness as far as the eye could see. There were only two forks in the road ahead of the four people, twisting and turning, leading to the unknown darkness in the distance.

"Fang Hai, let's start." Sikong Hongyu said softly.

Fang Hai was the thin man. He nodded when he heard that, walked to the front, and carefully took out a gray-brown furry ball-like object from his arms. The object was only slightly larger than his palm.

Gently placing it on the ground, the furry thing moved, revealing its short limbs and its curled-up nose that slowly straightened out.

This little creature has a long and thin nose that is only as thick as a chopstick, but its length is as long as its entire body. Its appearance is really strange.

"Go ahead." Fang Hai said softly. The little thing seemed to have just woken up. Upon hearing the master's command, it shook its furry body, then stretched out its slender nose, sniffing back and forth between the two forks in the road like a mine detector.

"This beast is called the Spirit Weasel. It has no strength in its infancy, but it is very alert and sharp." Sikong Hongyu explained to Xu Feng in a low voice.

Xu Feng was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised by her behavior, but still nodded in understanding.

Not long after, the weasel made its choice. Fang Hai picked it up gently, and Sikong Hongyu stepped into the fork in the road without hesitation.

Not encountering maze attacks means you are on the right path.

Then the environment remained almost the same, except that the fork in the road had changed from two to three.

Relying on this spirit weasel, the four people passed the first three levels without any problems. Sikong Hongyu seemed to have great confidence in the spirit weasel and did not hesitate at all. Seeing this, Xu Feng seemed to have some reaction. Did Sikong Hongyu use this spirit weasel to pass the level last time?

Before the fourth level, there were five forks in the road. The weasel sniffed back and forth for a few times, but was still hesitant and unable to make a decision. Seeing this, Fang Hai had no choice but to put it back into his arms.

"Miss, the spirit weasel is still blocked here." Fang Hai sighed helplessly.

"It's okay." Sikong Hongyu didn't look disappointed, and it was obvious that he had expected it.

Her eyes lingered between Xu Feng and the man in Taoist robes. After a moment's hesitation, she said to the man in Taoist robes, "Qi Yue, it's up to you now."

"Yes!" Qi Yue glanced at Xu Feng with a little surprise. He didn't expect that the Fourth Miss would save this man's trick until the end, but he still responded immediately.

Then he took a few steps forward and took out five pieces of fragments. Xu Feng vaguely saw that they looked like polished stone pieces, or like part of some shell, in a half-moon shape with complicated and incomprehensible runes on them.

The man slowly closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated. After a moment, a mysterious aura slowly emanated from his body, which attracted people's attention. After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes and threw the fragments in his hand away.

Is this fortune-telling? Predicting good or bad luck? Seeing this, Xu Feng frowned. He suddenly thought of a question. How could the test of Wuju Taoist be passed in such an opportunistic way? This was not like selecting a successor with a koi physique like him.

You have to know that he is a strong man at the third level of the Earthly Realm, while Sikong Hongyu and others are only at the sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm. The gap is as big as the difference between heaven and earth. There should be no chance for him to take advantage of the test set by Wuji Dao Ren. At least it is impossible for a cultivator at the sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm.

Although he had this doubt in his mind, Xu Feng suppressed it temporarily. He didn't believe that Sikong Hongyu would not think of this. Since the other party didn't care, he didn't need to worry too much.

Qi Yue used the art of divination to pass the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels, but at the seventh level, his performance was already extremely reluctant. Continuously trying to guess at the secrets of heaven had caused great damage to himself.

"Don't force yourself." Sikong Hongyu's face darkened slightly. He was not worried that Qi Yue would consume too much energy and hurt his foundation, but he was worried that something might go wrong, leading to failure.

"Miss, don't worry. I can hold on a little longer." Qi Yue clenched his teeth, his face turned dark red, veins bulged on his forehead, and after spitting out a large mouthful of blood, he finally found the correct fork in the eight choices and passed the seventh level.

When he reached the eighth level, Sikong Hongyu's eyes were somewhat complicated, and his tone was also somewhat melancholy. "Eight years ago, I stopped here."

Only three levels left!

"From now on, it's up to you." She said to Xu Feng.

Qi Yue was already exhausted and needed Fang Hai's support even to walk.

“What I want to remind you is that, on the surface, even if we fail this first time, we still have a few more chances to start over. But in reality, whether we can obtain Taoist Wuji’s treasure depends only on this first time.

Eight years ago, because we held on to the hope that we could start over even if we failed, we found each level more difficult than the last, and we could never get past the eighth level. We even failed once before the sixth level.

So it seems like I can start over, but in fact, this is my only chance. I hope you can do your best and don’t let me down.”

Xu Feng glanced at her, didn't say anything more, and walked straight forward.

The eighth level, choose one from nine. He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, emptied his mind, and tried to forget everything around him. Suddenly, he raised his foot and pretended to step into one of the forks, but just as he was about to land, an inexplicable throbbing suddenly rose in his heart.

This method works! This road is dangerous!

Xu Feng was delighted and retracted his foot. After calming down his agitated emotions, he began to explore the other forks in the road.

About half an hour later, the four of them successfully passed the eighth level. A hint of joy finally flashed in the depths of Sikong Hongyu's eyes. In the end, she believed in her intuition and won the bet.

But Xu Feng's face gradually became solemn. As he used the remaining perception ability of the medicine body wantonly, he clearly found that this perception ability was visibly weakened. A trace of panic surged in his heart. If he couldn't help Sikong Hongyu get the treasure of Wujiu Taoist, what would be waiting for him?

Xu Feng didn't have time to think further. Without making any adjustments, he immediately started to break through the ninth level, choosing one from ten.
