Humanity’s Great Sage: Chapter 318: Clearing 10 Floors In A Row

A cultivator could only cultivate the Golden Liberation Technique to the Third-Order of Spirit Creek Realm. After that, Lu Ye had to unlock the Spiritual Points needed to cultivate the Red Lotus Sky Mnemonic and meet the necessary requirements first before he could change his cultivation technique.

It was the same now. He could only unlock the Spiritual Points necessary to cultivate the Great Sun Veluriyam Technique until he hit two hundred and forty Spiritual Points.

A moment later, Lu Ye had cultivated a new Spiritual Point. He was going to continue further when suddenly, his surroundings began distorting on its own. Knowing that his time was up, he immediately stopped his movements.

His vision blurred, and the next moment he found himself standing in a new room. It wasn’t filled with condensed World Spiritual Qi, and it was bigger than the previous room he was in. This was obviously the second floor of the Hundred Wards Tower.

A new ward took form before his eyes as he readied himself for his new test. It was yet another ward breaching test.

Lu Ye was surprised. Considering how his test was skewed during the first floor, he thought for sure that he would face a ward creation test. He thought for a moment before deciding against activating Glyph: Insight like he did on the first floor. Instead, he took out the ward flags meant for breaching wards from his Storage Bag, set it on four corners and used them to search for the flaws in the wards.

Insight was an amazing Glyph, and it allowed him to skip a ton of steps when breaching wards. However, it also didn’t improve his attainment in the Way of Ward much.

Take solving a question for example. A normal person would read the question, uncover its hints, and solve the question step by step. However, Insight skipped all these steps and showed him the answer directly.

While Lu Ye didn’t mind cheating to get his victories, there might come a day where he was unable to use Insight for whatever reason. With that in mind, it wasn’t a bad thing to learn how to breach wards the old-fashioned way.

The wards of the second floor were just a little harder than the ones on the first floor, so Lu Ye was able to identify its flaws fairly quickly. It was only then he activated Insight to confirm that he had gotten it right before breaching the ward.

Over time, Lu Ye discovered that his intuition was right. This was indeed the “correct” way to challenge the Hundred Wards Tower because the test types were no longer ludicrously skewed like before. He now received equal amounts of ward breaching tests and ward creation tests.

Thanks to this, he was going through the wards quickly even though the second floor’s tests were harder. In fact, his overall efficiency actually improved because he was facing a lot more ward breaching tests than before.

Meanwhile, a lot of Heavenly Derivative Sect disciples were still waiting outside the Hundred Wards Tower.

The resonance had stopped over four hours ago. It should not need to be said, but the resonance of the Hundred Wards Tower did not last forever. To be more specific, it usually disappeared after the challenger had fully digested the reward they received.

Logically speaking, the disciples should’ve left the valley and returned to their respective businesses long ago. However, they stayed because they had good reason to believe that the mysterious challenger who triggered a resonance on the first floor had a chance of performing well on the second floor as well. If they were right, then they would be able to enjoy another resonance. If not, then they still got what they came for. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

The one thing that still confuzzled them was the challenger’s identity. Just who on earth was challenging the tower?

Zhao Li was still resting at Bai Qian’s residence. He knew that Lu Ye was challenging the Hundred Wards Tower but did not expect the young man to be good enough to trigger a resonance.

He was a ward cultivator too, but he could not go to the valley and enjoy the resonance because he was supposed to be dead. He felt depressed and frustrated as a matter of course.

If Ju Jia and Yi Yi weren’t keeping him company right now, he would’ve wondered if his sect had abandoned him.

Buzz…

Suddenly, the massive tower made a buzzing sound once more. The next moment, an invisible power spread out and flooded the valley in no time.
