C223 Ruined
Wan Hao and Mo Wen each carried a bucket of water and walked towards the withered tree.
The originally shining silver viscous liquid had now become completely clear.
"Miss Mo, let this Wan go first this time!"
Wan Hao said to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen nodded and did not say anything else.
Wan Hao walked forward and the water in the bucket seemed to be attracted by something. The originally calm water suddenly boiled.
The water in the bucket gurgled. As if it had been affected by some external force, it turned into a water dragon from Wan Hao's bucket and rushed towards the withered tree.
Suddenly, the water dragon circled around the withered tree. Drops of life spiritual liquid seeped into the surface of the withered tree.
After being nourished by the Life Spirit Liquid, the wrinkled surface of the withered tree burst out with a new force. The wrinkled trunk of the tree was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Boom!"
The withered tree that had no life force erupted with a shocking aura and shot towards Wan Hao.
The shadow of a huge tree appeared behind Wan Hao. Upon closer inspection, it was the withered tree in front of him.
The withered tree was changing rapidly, and soon after, drops of fresh green emerged along the dried branches.
In a moment, the dried branches were full of green.
Green began to fill the air, and the withered tree began to revive.
The withered tree returning to spring symbolized a new life.
When the water in the bucket in Wan Hao's hand had disappeared, the withered tree above Wan Hao's head finally calmed down and hovered above his head.
"Boom!"
The withered tree suddenly shook, and a fruit flew out from it.
"Withered Tree Spring Test has been completed. Reward, lifespan Fruit!"
The fruit appeared in Wan Hao's palm.
The red lifespan Fruit looked like a ripe apple, full and juicy.
Wan Hao knew about the lifespan Fruit. It was a lifespan that could increase the consumption rate by 500 years!
Currently, the maximum age of a Divine Dao True Stage was five hundred years. Now that he had a lifespan Fruit, it meant that he had a second life.
To Wan Hao, who was only twenty years old, the lifespan Fruit was not very useful to him. But to his grandmaster, who had lived for a long time... Especially to those 'old monsters' who were close to the lifespan. It was probably not a small temptation.
"Hu!"
Wan Hao's heart, which was hanging in the air, was finally able to relax.
Seeing that Wan Hao was safe and sound, Mo Wen also walked forward. The same scene appeared. The shadow of a withered tree returning to spring stood on top of Mo Wen's head.
"The second person to pass the withered tree returning to spring test will be rewarded with a lifespan Fruit!"
The same lifespan Fruit reached Mo Wen's slender jade hand.
"You all have the ability to break out of this situation. Which one of you will go first?" The old voice reached their ears once again.
"I will go first!"
Mo Wen stood up.
Since young, as saintess of Pearl Sacred Land, she was proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, chess, books, and paintings. Facing the incomplete chessboard under the withered tree, Mo Wen still had a certain amount of confidence.
At this moment, she took the initiative to stand out and walk towards the withered tree.
At this time, beside the withered tree, the figure of an old man appeared. He had a pale complexion and had a hunched back. His body was lifeless, as if he would die in the next second.
The old man staggered forward, and said with an expressionless face, "Anyone who enters this game will consume a hundred years of lifespans in two hours. If you feel that you are unable to break this game, you can give up automatically. The one who forfeits this game will be left on this level. Once the one year period is up, he will be sent out. The Million Stars Partition, begin!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a huge black chessboard appeared in the air in a vertical plane. The black and white pieces crisscrossed in the air, as if they were the polar opposites of Yin and Yang, resonating with each other from afar.
"I'll be the first to land this piece!"
The old man's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. As soon as he finished speaking, the black piece in his hand suddenly fell.
"Bang!"
The moment the old man landed, Mo Wen instantly felt a huge force that shook her heart.
Yuan Shen attack!
This incomplete situation not only consumed the martial artist's lifespan, it also tested the strength of the martial artist's Yuan Shen!
"Bang!"
On Mo Wen's beautiful face, beads of elite sweat had already dripped down.
Enduring the piercing pain in his mind, a white seed in his hand suddenly fell down.
"Bang!"
The old man's hand did not stop. Once again, the white stone fell down. It was as if the Myriad Transformations Partition had no effect on him at all.
"Buzz!"
Another huge vibration force spread out in Mo Wen's mind.
"Bang!" Mo Wen's son fell again...
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. At this time, Mo Wen was still in a stalemate with the old man. In the blink of an eye, the fifty year old lifespan had been consumed. Although Mo Wen had a veil over her face, however, Wan Hao could still vaguely see that her beautiful face had turned pale. Even her hair had turned black.
It seemed like she couldn't hold on any longer.
Wan Hao, who was observing from the side, understood that this was not an unfathomable situation. For someone like Mo Wen who was proficient in chess, it was exceptionally easy, but why did it take so long? Mo Wen just could not win? The problem was that every time the old man dropped a piece, it was equivalent to making a mental attack. Wan Hao saw Mo Wen's painful expression and knew that she was suffering a huge mental pain.
If the game did not have a time limit, as long as it was someone with stronger willpower... They would be able to endure the mental pain to break the game. However, the problem was that there was a time limit to the game. In two hours, one would have to burn the lifespan for a hundred years. How many hundred years would one have in one's life?
In Wan Hao's opinion, this was also the reason why the reward for this trial was the chance to obtain the lifespan fruit.
If there was no lifespan Fruit, with everyone's cultivation, most of them would be at Divine Dao Two. Third Heaven, they were basically all around 200 to 300 years old. 200 years old lifespan could only last for four hours at most. It was very clear that wanting to break this game in two hours was still a certain degree of difficulty.
Not only that, the risk of breaking the game was told beforehand. This gave the person who broke the game a lot of psychological pressure. This was also one of the reasons why it was so difficult to break the game in two hours.
Mo Wen's appearance became more and more aged. First, she looked like an adult, then a middle-aged man, and finally, she looked like an old man who was about to run out of oil.
"Don't force yourself, lifespan Fruit!"
Wan Hao reminded her from the side.
Mo Wen saw this and knew her own condition. Without hesitation, she directly refined the lifespan Fruit into her body.
"Bang!"
A loud explosive sound was heard from Mo Wen's body and she immediately felt an enormous life force spreading out from her Dantian.
Mo Wen's appearance was like a magic trick as she quickly turned from an old man to a middle-aged man, then back to the prime of her life and finally returned to her original appearance.
This scene was like a withered tree returning to spring!
It was as if what happened just now did not happen!
