Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Old Man Mu looked at Zuo Chang with some surprise and asked, "How come you're faster than me? Did you... just happen to be here by chance?"

Old Man Mu was still staring wide-eyed.

It seems...

the other side.

and……

Seed of Heavenly Dao!

Sand and dust swirled around him.

Big mistakes.

It reared up and let out a low growl, as if trying to soothe its owner.

The cloud-riding beast beneath him sensed something.

The strength of the Seed of Heaven is beyond doubt; it cannot be reduced to ashes with a flick of a finger like an insect.

His gaze toward Zuo Chang held a hint of disdain.

The sound of rushing water gradually became clearer, and the surrounding temperature gradually decreased. Zuo Chang looked up and knew that the "pure, cold spring stream" was right in front of him.

The clear pool water emitted a faint golden light.

Bai Lin raised his palm, and golden lightning transformed into a spear, shooting out—

The crown of immortal ancient trees;

The adventurer ultimately could not escape and fell to his death!

That wasn't the color of the pool water, but rather the spiritual energy emanating from a golden seed at the bottom of the pool.

"..."

We can make it there now, but even if we do, the first phase will probably be over by then.

The Asura's followers were itching to fight, but Bai Lin used his strong self-control to restrain his inner violence.

"Isn't that so? The human body is an excellent container. Stuffing magical materials into the buttocks and using one's own magical energy fluctuations to mask the spiritual energy fluctuations of the magical materials is a common method of smuggling!"

Old Man Mu fell silent again.

The seed was about the size of a fist, surrounded by a precious light, and looked quite sacred.

"A stream of crystal-clear, icy spring."

Such a strong surge of magical power!

Old Man Mu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think this is a bit dirty. But even if it's a seed of the Heavenly Dao stuffed into someone's ass, it's still a seed of the Heavenly Dao! As long as it can take root and sprout, it still has value! Sir... if you're not willing to offer it up with both hands, then I'll have no choice but to cut you open!"

Zuo Chang didn't hide anything: "I came here for the 'Seed of Heavenly Dao.' What about you?"

"Thunder gun."

Then--

After killing several adventurers along the way, Bai Lin arrived at a giant tree.

Without hesitation, he walked firmly toward his destination.

If nothing unexpected happens, the location that the general personally went to investigate is the place where the Seed of Heaven is located.

He scoffed and asked, "What do you want?"

"Just call me Old Mu," Old Man Mu said calmly. "Young man, you still haven't answered my question: how did you find this place?"

The young man in front of me clearly wasn't manipulating any magical power, so why did the fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao Seed disappear?

Old Man Mu was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "You...you stuffed the Seed of Heavenly Dao into your anus?!"

Before I could observe carefully, I suddenly heard a cough behind me.

Like the beating of a heart, waves of incredibly rich spiritual energy surged towards me!

Zuo Chang was excited. He quickened his pace and walked to a pool of water.

The pond was not deep, and Zuo Chang waded in, bent down, and easily scooped up the seeds into his palm.

He continued, "This is the first time I've ever heard of this! It turns out that the human body can not only conceal the fluctuations of magical materials, but also the fluctuations of the Seed of Heavenly Dao!"

"..."

"In a game of grace where no one dies, don't you think it's ridiculous to threaten someone else's life with their safety?"

In this situation, where even if he kills someone, that person won't actually die, his self-control is clearly insufficient.

Zuo Chang was equally shocked: "Do you know what you just said?"

Zuo Chang put his hands behind his back to avoid Old Man Mu's gaze.

Old Man Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Young man, I do not wish to shed blood unless absolutely necessary! Hand over the Seed of Heavenly Dao to me, and I can let you leave unscathed."

Zuo Chang remained silent.

Zuo Chang was utterly speechless.

Zuo Chang was running through the forest when he saw a dark gray seed.

It was Old Man Mu who killed Lu Li!

Zuo Chang was startled and quickly turned around to look. An old man in black robes was standing behind him out of nowhere, with a black book tucked into his waistband and a compass in his hand.

Even prominent figures with "high status and prosperous families" do not possess the same level of knowledge and experience as Zuo Chang in certain areas.

He clearly sensed that the old man in black robes before him possessed the cultivation of the seventh realm and was no ordinary person: "Who are you?"

What should we do now?

The first phase has been going on forty-five minutes and is nearing its end.

A stream of crystal-clear, icy spring water.

What excited him even more was—

"Moo..."

The Seed of Heavenly Dao only spawns in three places—

It seems——

The wind and sand are howling!

Zuo Chang's vision was instantly obscured by the yellow sand until a giant sand palm, three to five meters wide, emerged from the sand and descended upon him. Only then did Zuo Chang react.

"Domain technique? It's a swirling sandstorm!"

Bang!

The giant hand of sand slammed down.

Chapter 160 The Sands of Deception

"Oh?"

Old Man Mu showed no mercy whatsoever. He used all his strength in that "Sand Dune Slam" move, aiming for a fatal blow!

But the young man opposite him managed to dodge at the last moment, which surprised him greatly.

Dust settled.

Old Man Mu looked at Zuo Chang with sharp eyes: "Why? You, a sixth-realm adventurer, have unleashed a speed that is not your own."

Strictly speaking, Zuo Chang is now in the seventh realm.

After defeating the black goat, his cultivation reached the sixth realm;

With the added blessing of the "Celestial Emblem", his actual combat strength is at the seventh level. However, the emblem's enhancement is hidden and cannot be detected by others with their eyes.

but--

The reason I was able to dodge Old Man Mu's attack at the last second was not because of the emblem.

"Such a powerful person... either don't provoke them, or if you do, kill them. The reason I, Musogen, have survived until now is because of my caution and my ability to completely eliminate any danger!"

Zuo Chang looked at Old Man Mu without changing his expression and uttered two words without any fluctuation: "A failure."

Because Zuo Chang didn't even reach the upper limit of 96511, let alone 2122?

But does Zuo Chang possess power that others lack?

It's because of the "weapon of the final battle".

A woman with black hair and golden eyes, dressed in Wu clothing, appeared beside Zuo Chang and gave a graceful bow: "General, did you call me?"

In the game "Gifted Game: Whispering Forest", death has no effect.

why?

Why would a space specifically designed for one-on-one male battles be invaded by others?

What exactly is going on!

The "sand of deception" beneath his feet began to expand, the golden sand carpet spreading forward and encroaching on Zuo Chang's feet.

"Ah... I really am now at the twelfth realm."

Old Man Mu looked up, his eyes filled with despair.

Even more outrageous is—

He looked at Zuo Chang's agile movements, which were like those of a monkey, and wondered where this kid got such high scores!

He now stands on the "sand of deception," deceiving the rules, and actually possesses the cultivation of the twelfth realm.

Old Man Mu stood still, but the sand around him moved on its own, transforming into sand dragons that charged towards Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang noticed the golden sand.

Humph.

In that case, if he is killed, he will die!

Old Man Mu nodded: "Yes. Sands of Deception. Since you know its name, you should know its effects. Sands of Deception have the power to evade supervision. My sands come from the community '2122'. No matter where I spread them, as long as I stand on them, the gods will assume that I am standing on the land of 2122."
