Chapter 41 The Power of Hope
The soul impact had no effect when it first came into contact with the mummified corpse, but after a short while the corpse went berserk and began frantically hitting its head with the staff.
Soon after, the armor on its body was completely shattered by its own attack. At this moment, the remaining soul inside the dried corpse was completely dissipated by Wang Mu's attack, leaving only the fighting instinct.
Wang Mu waited until every part of the mummified corpse was unharmed, then decisively picked up the Heavenly Demon Sword and stabbed it into the corpse's chest.
The soulless mummified corpse fought purely on its own fighting instincts, so much so that Wang Mu and the others dared not get close to it. Once they did, they would face a relentless barrage of attacks.
After waiting quietly for a minute, the mummified corpse charged at Wang Mu again. Just then, Wang Mu shouted, "Sha Youlang, Xiao Chuan, Jiao'er, now! Attack the mummified corpse's chest!"
Four attacks struck the same spot on the dried corpse simultaneously, and Wang Mu's mouth slurred blood due to the recoil.
However, the mummified corpse was already beyond dead. Suddenly, a spiritual pill flew out from the mummified corpse, and the mummified corpse turned into a pile of ashes and scattered in the wind.
Instantly, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into their noses. After taking a deep breath, Wang Mu felt as if his whole body was radiating vitality.
He immediately made up his mind that he was determined to get this elixir. After all, it was in a sealed tomb, and no matter how the elixir ran, it could not escape Wang Mu's grasp.
He carefully placed the elixir into the glass bottle and, through his spiritual power, learned that the elixir was called the Spirit Returning Pill.
The effect of the Rejuvenation Pill is that the soul imprint of the tomb owner is deeply engraved into the Rejuvenation Pill.
Since it's called the Rejuvenation Pill, it must have some effect to justify such a name. Anyone whose soul hasn't been taken away within seven days can be saved by taking this pill.
Upon learning of this effect, Wang Mu's face was filled with shock: "The effect of this elixir is so incredible. No wonder the owner of this tomb perished. It is probably closely related to this elixir."
After putting away the elixir, Wang Mu stood at the bottom of the seventh step, lost in thought, still hesitant about whether to step onto the stairs.
The gains from this trip, including this one elixir, are already more than enough. This elixir is like giving me a second life and the power to give me hope for life!
"Xiao Chuan, you'll have to climb these seven steps yourself. I believe you can do it," Wang Mu said encouragingly to Xiao Chuan.
It wasn't that Wang Mu didn't want to accept the inheritance.
Wang Mu had no choice but to give up on this inheritance. After careful consideration, he chose Xiao Chuan, who was the most suitable person to receive the inheritance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Chuan slowly stepped onto the first step, then stood there motionless with his eyes closed. After about ten minutes, he then walked towards the second step.
"It seems that these seven steps were left by the tomb owner as a test for his successor. It looks like Xiao Chuan's test went smoothly," Wang Mu said thoughtfully.
"It's just a test, Xiao Chuan will definitely be able to do it," Sha Youlang chimed in nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, Zhong Wanling, as if she had seen something, frowned slightly and said, "This test is definitely not that simple. Xiao Chuan may not be able to pass it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuan let out a muffled groan as he struggled to lift his legs and walk towards the third step, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"What... what's going on?" Sha Youlang asked Zhong Wanling in surprise.
“I can see some of the tricks of the trade with my cultivation level. Anyway, the design of these seven steps is extremely complicated, and the energy fluctuations inside are far beyond our imagination,” Zhong Wanling explained.
At this moment, Xiao Chuan's heart was filled with an unwavering belief: "I cannot fall here; I cannot betray the genius's trust in me!"
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Chuan walked up the fourth step. At this moment, Xiao Chuan's face gradually turned pale, and the light shield on his body emitted a bright light, which was a sign that energy was being supplied to Xiao Chuan to the maximum extent.
Time passed second by second, and Xiao Chuan had already spent more time on the fourth step than on the other three steps combined.
The look in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Chuan changed from initial relief to worry, fearing that something might happen to him during this test.
"what."
Suddenly, Xiao Chuan roared and took a big step, directly leaping from the fourth step to the sixth step. Instantly, a pure energy appeared in the air and rushed into Xiao Chuan's body.
Xiao Chuan felt his body radiating vitality again, and now he was only one step away from reaching the top to receive the tomb owner's inheritance.
"Xiao Chuan, keep it up!" Sha Youlang silently chanted in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Chuan gritted his teeth, his head drenched in sweat, panting heavily on the sixth step, with bloodshot veins sliding down his face.
He looked extremely disheveled, as if he had suffered some kind of mental trauma, but his whole body was full of power due to the infusion of energy.
"Huh? What happened to Xiao Chuan? Is he alright?" Sha Youlang asked worriedly.
Wang Mu stared intently at Xiao Chuan on the steps. He could sense that Xiao Chuan's vitality was extremely strong, as if it had been bestowed by the tomb's owner. It seemed that the difficulty of this last step was extraordinary.
Having endured the trials of the previous six steps, Xiao Chuan on the stage naturally knew the difficulty of the final step. A slight misstep could cost him his life. However, after some thought, he resolutely walked towards the last step.
As Xiao Chuan stepped onto the throne, the throne on the platform instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, and a golden beam of light suddenly appeared on Xiao Chuan's body. The next second, Xiao Chuan vanished right before their eyes.
"Genius... What... What exactly happened?" Sha Youlang looked at Wang Mu in utter astonishment and said, "How could Xiao Chuan suddenly disappear?"
"It seems that he was teleported to a specific space by the tomb's owner to undergo a test. The tomb owner's strength is too great."
"I can't sense where this space is either, but I'm sure it won't harm Xiao Chuan, so don't worry." After thinking for a moment, Wang Mu sighed and said.
