Chapter 571: Fourth Layer

Due to his status as the eldest young master of the Meng family, Meng Jingzhou knew a lot about the intelligence of the modern cultivation world, even more than Lu Yang.

As for ancient history, he was completely in the dark.

Considering that the ancient history known to modern cultivators is quite different from the real ancient history, that goes without saying.

There was no need to compare; he suggested that Lu Yang be recommended to pass the level.

Just as he expected, Lu Yang got all ten questions right, passing with full marks, unprecedented.

But what he didn't expect was that he could rank second with a score of zero.

Luo Hong cast an appreciative look at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"The results of you two are one as the first in history and one as the second in history. Very good."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

What Meng Jingzhou didn't know was that those who could enter the third layer in previous sessions were all the best among the prodigies. They were knowledgeable and connected the ancient and the modern. After starting to answer quickly, they competed to answer questions out of absolute confidence in their own knowledge.

And then they became negative scores.

Losing once is an accident. They wanted to correct their scores, so they continued to answer quickly. The more they answered, the lower the score.

By the time the ten questions ended, they were all comparing who had more negative scores.

Luo Hong pointed to Meng Jingzhou, Jiang Shishi, and Su Lianer: "You three accept the rewards."

Luo Hong snapped her fingers, and treasures piled up into a small mountain, golden and brilliant, each of which was worth a lot, could be sold for a sky-high price, and was snatched by everyone.

Different from the second layer, this time the treasure mountain had higher value, and even great divine abilities like the long-lost "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" were there.

A cursor floated above the treasures, and most of the cursors were written with "one," and a small part were written with "two" or "three."

For example, the "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" was written with "three."

"Su Lianer, your performance in the first layer was mediocre, you didn't see through the content I wanted to examine in the second layer, lying is an instinct, and your performance in the third layer was mediocre. You can choose one thing from here at will."

"Thank you, Senior Luo Hong!"

She didn't expect to reach this step before entering the Ancient Realm of Creation, which had greatly exceeded her expectations.

"Jiang Shishi, you obtained two hundred and eighty essence souls in the first layer, setting a historical record, with excellent performance. You saw through the content I wanted to examine in the second layer, and your performance in the third layer was mediocre. You can choose three things from here at will."

"Thank you, Senior Luo Hong."

"Remind you all, you can choose most treasures at will, but some treasures have too high a value; choosing one is worth two or three."

The "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" was written with "three"; choosing it is equivalent to choosing three things.

The complete version of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms can defeat the Dragon tribe's ancient ancestors and is a top-notch great divine ability. Even if it is an incomplete version, learning it allows one to walk sideways in the same realm.

Luo Hong looked at Meng Jingzhou again, summarizing:

"You obtained two hundred and eighty essence souls in the first layer, setting a historical record with Jiang Shishi, with excellent performance. In the second layer, you not only saw through the content of the examination but also planted many flowers in the flower pot. In the third layer, you achieved the second-best result in history."

"You can choose five things from here at will."

Choosing five things means that Meng Jingzhou's comprehensive performance can rank second in the history of the Ancient Realm of Creation.

If Lu Yang's performance wasn't ahead, he could rank first.

Su Lianer chose an ancient defensive talisman, which could block a full-force strike from the Integration stage at most.

Jiang Shishi chose a Phoenix Contemplation Picture. The phoenix in the painting was lifelike, spreading its wings and flying high, as if it could fly out of the painting at any time.

This painting came from the hands of a Half-Immortal and had the effect of calming the mind and recreating the bloodline, accelerating the process of bloodline awakening, with infinite mysteries.

This painting was marked with "three."

Meng Jingzhou was in a dilemma when choosing. He couldn't use most of the things here. If he wanted them, the Congwendao Sect had them all.

"Hmm? What kind of technique is this, such a strange name, 'Chaos One Qi Two Rituals Three Talents Four Symbols Five Elements Six Harmonies Seven Luminaries Eight Desolations Nine Earths Ten Heavens Only I Am Supreme Immortal Technique'?"

"Such a long name?"

"Can't understand it."

Meng Jingzhou flipped through the technique. The technique used a translated version.

The technique was marked with a "five," which was the highest value among all the treasures.

"So expensive and only half a volume?"

Meng Jingzhou complained. This technique only wrote the cultivation process from the Qi Refining stage to the Spirit Transformation stage, which was the first half.

"'Numerical Immortal Technique'?!"

When Lu Yang heard this name, his eyes widened suddenly. Even this exists?!

This is the technique of the Nine-Fold Immortal!

"Have you heard of it?"

Lu Yang nodded. This is definitely a good treasure.

"Don't exchange it yet; let me ask first."

Lu Yang turned into the mental space: "Fairy, do you know the content of the 'Numerical Immortal Technique'?"

If the Fairy can memorize it, there's no need to remember it.

The Immortal Fairy showed a disdainful expression: "The Nine-Fold Immortal's technique, can't I just remember the name? Why remember the content?"

"Then this half of Old Meng's technique..."

"Exchange it. This technique is quite good. The Nine-Fold Immortal showed off this technique in front of me, saying that different people looking at this technique will have different gains, which helps to comprehend their own divine abilities, and also helps to comprehend other divine abilities, and something else I can't remember clearly."

Getting an affirmative answer, Lu Yang left the mental space, nodded vigorously, and spat out a word.

"Change."

Meng Jingzhou didn't doubt it and exchanged for this half of the Immortal Technique.

Luo Hong waved her hand: "You three can leave."

Before he had time to talk to Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou and the other two were teleported out of the Ancient Realm.

The vast place was left with only Lu Yang and Luo Hong.

"Senior Luo Hong, you..."

Luo Hong circled around Lu Yang with great interest, clicking her tongue in wonder.

"I have seen a few lucky ones who guessed one question right, but someone like you who answered all ten questions right has never happened before."

"I always thought no one could answer all ten questions right."

Luo Hong snapped her fingers, and the dim third layer became transparent in an instant. This third layer was a city, with heavy traffic, people coming and going, and great demons walking, with demon tribes and human tribes living in harmony, a scene of prosperity.

"Don't be surprised, this is the illusion I live in usually. I can't be planting flowers and rolling with demon beasts every day for 300,000 years. Where you are going is the fourth layer."

"Fourth layer?"

In the Ancient Realm model given when entering the Ancient Realm, there was no position for the fourth layer.

Luo Hong smiled without saying a word, signaling Lu Yang to look up at the sky.

While speaking, a bright light appeared in the sky, and the light turned into a golden ladder, connecting the third layer and the fourth layer.

The creatures in the city stopped, stood still and looked at the sky, pointing at the golden ladder, with fear and curiosity.

"The person who created me told me that if someone can pass the secret realm, then let him go to the fourth layer."

"The fourth layer is outside my authority, and I don't know what's in the fourth layer either."

"Who created it, Senior?"

"I'll tell you when you come down from the fourth layer," Luo Hong said with a smile.

Lu Yang saw it; he wouldn't get a word out of Senior Luo Hong until he reached the fourth layer.

But it didn't matter; he was going to the fourth layer anyway.

"Then I will say goodbye to Senior for now." Lu Yang cupped his hands.

"Go, go, I'll wait for you to come back."

Lu Yang stepped onto the golden ladder. Stepping on it, a warm current flowed through his whole body, and his whole body was full of strength.

Then Lu Yang disappeared into the fourth layer, the golden ladder collapsed, turned into golden rain, and scattered in the city.

The style of the fourth layer was completely different from the first three layers, like a woman's boudoir, and details could be seen everywhere. The owner of the room must be a careful person.

"This room looks familiar." There was no one else here, and the Immortal Fairy emerged from the mental space, her attire still full of wildness.
