Shen Yuan Ring

After Qi Wei finished speaking, they didn't feel any change, which might mean that there was no reward for the first forty steps.

If they had just agreed to end their climb, they might have been forcibly removed from the rooftop and would have lost the opportunity to continue climbing.

According to Qi Wei, there will be rewards after level 40, and the higher the level, the better the rewards!

Except for Ji Daoyi, everyone else was panting heavily, because as the steps went higher, the gravity they experienced increased while their physical strength decreased, resulting in a trade-off.

Maintaining his original calm and collected demeanor would be almost impossible unless his physical body became terrifyingly powerful.

"Haha, we've all passed the first test! I dare say our group is the strongest team on this trip to the secret realm!!"

"Little Tiger, this is just the minimum threshold to pass the test. What's there to be happy about? Don't forget there are still ten more levels to go."

"That's right, the outcome between us will be decided in these final ten rounds."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't lose!"

They then stepped onto the forty-first step together. They thought it would be another gravity-enhancing scenario, but unexpectedly, gravity disappeared at that moment, along with his companion.

Ji Daoyi didn't carefully perceive the changes in his body due to the sudden mutation!

His eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had already guessed that the forty-one steps were not simple, he did not expect the changes to be so great!

The first forty steps were to determine whether their foundation in the Body Refinement Realm had reached its limit. After reaching the forty-first step, they were directly brought into an unfamiliar space, and they were separated. Obviously, this level of test required them to face it alone.

Ji Daoyi surveyed his surroundings. The entire space was a vast expanse of white, stretching as far as the eye could see. There were no roads, and nothing else but himself.

He was able to move freely within the space, and the elemental energy that was previously unusable could now be used.

Only then did he notice that his body had been strengthened by 40%, and his tendon training had reached its limit. Now, he could break through on the spot if he wanted to, but he still resisted the urge to break through.

He didn't hear any prompts or find any clues after he stepped into this space.

So he could only wander aimlessly in one direction. One step, two steps, Ji Daoyi didn't know how long he had been walking in this space.

Finally, just when he was about to exhaust himself, he saw a gate of light appear in front of him.

Ji Daoyi entered the portal with ease, but as soon as he stepped in, a bright light shone so brightly that he couldn't open his eyes and had to cover them with his hands.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a thatched hut, with a giant gray wolf sitting beside him, watching him.

Ji Daoyi recognized the giant wolf at a glance as his Crescent Moon. He excitedly stood up, hugged it, and said, "Crescent Moon? What are you doing here? Weren't you undergoing bloodline awakening? Have you successfully awakened your bloodline?!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Crescent Moon, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you using the contract to communicate? Hmm? Where's our contract?" Ji Daoyi got off the bed, rubbed the 'Wolf King's' head, and then froze in place because he realized that his contract with Crescent Moon was gone.

A golden light flashed deep in the giant wolf's eyes, and it did not resist Ji Daoyi's pat on the head!

Ji Daoyi seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, and said to the giant wolf again, "Wolf King, you saved me? You brought me here! Thank you!"

As he stepped out of the small hut, his eyes were filled with confusion. He muttered to himself, "This place looks so familiar. Wasn't I participating in the inheritance trial? No. Ugh, my head hurts."

Finally, he assessed his cultivation level: the Tendon Refining Realm was at its peak, and he could break through to the Meridian Refining Realm at any moment!

"As expected, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. Although the Xiang family almost killed me this time, I didn't come away empty-handed. I broke through to the peak of the Tendon Refining stage, and I almost got to the Meridian Refining stage!"

Looking at the 'wolf king' following behind, for some reason, I felt that it was not the wolf king I knew, but it was exactly the same as the wolf king in both size and appearance.

He then took out a Body Tempering Pill from his storage bag and threw it to the 'Wolf King', hoping to lure the wolf king into following him. However, the giant wolf did not react to the Body Tempering Pill he threw at it, as if it were trash.

(What's going on? I feel like I've done this before, and I remember the Wolf King really liking my pills! Could it not be the Wolf King I know?)

Then Ji Daoyi took out a roast suckling pig from his storage bag. However, he found it strange that he had no memory of this roast suckling pig.

What puzzled Ji Daoyi even more was that the giant wolf didn't seem to care for his roast suckling pig; it just stayed at his feet!

As Ji Daoyi looked at the 'Wolf King,' the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong; it was different from the Wolf King he remembered.

"No! Something's definitely wrong. My Crescent Moon? Who is Crescent Moon? How could I have said that name?" Ji Daoyi became uneasy, feeling as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, as if he were being blocked by a thin layer of paper, and that layer was getting thicker and thicker.

Just as he was about to call upon the 'Wolf King', he realized he didn't know why he was calling upon him. So he kept slapping his head, "No, I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things. Something's definitely wrong here."

Just as Ji Daoyi was still pondering, he glanced at the 'Wolf King' and saw a playful glint flash in its eyes. Although it was only for a moment, he still caught it.

Ji Dao immediately became more vigilant, feeling that the current problem must be related to the giant wolf in front of him.

He casually walked behind the giant wolf and slapped it on the head with practiced ease.

bang

The giant wolf vanished instantly, still shocked before it disappeared, wondering what had gone wrong that made you attack it so decisively.

As the giant wolf dissipated, the thatched hut in front of us gradually disappeared, and the lost memories resurfaced in my mind like a spring.

He remembered everything.

"Is this the test of the forty-one steps? If I hadn't discovered the giant wolf was suspicious and hadn't killed it, would my memories continue to fade until I finally forgot who I am?"

When Ji Daoyi opened his eyes again, he saw that he was standing on the forty-first step!

He turned to look at the other four people and found that they all still had their eyes closed, and their facial expressions were quite varied.

Ji Daoyi did not rashly wake up the others, because he did not know if doing so would harm his companions or cause them to fail the test.
