After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 451 Brahma Secret Realm

Zi Mian manipulated the puppet to help Long Yan, which was an attempt made by Zhang Chi.

Long Yan has not awakened yet, but she is considered a teammate in the game, so using a puppet is the only way.

If the puppet doesn't work, they can only wait for Long Yan to wake up before they can continue.

Zhang Chi was worried that there might be a time limit for this level, so he decided to try it out first.

Upon hearing this, Zi Mian immediately took out a puppet, picked up Long Yan, and rushed towards the floating stones. Zi Mian was very skilled at controlling the puppet, and she was able to easily leap over a hundred floating stones while carrying someone. Afterwards, she came over by herself.

For cultivators, stepping on these floating stones that sink with a slight touch is not difficult at all. It can be done as long as one has hands.

As Zi Mian arrived at the stone platform, two stone tablets emerged on top of it, one of which was labeled "Talent Ranking".

Wow, you've already figured out the essence of this game?

There were a total of twenty rankings on the stone tablet.

Zhang Chi casually glanced at it and immediately saw a familiar name at the top.

[1. Central Continent Wenren Shu]

[2. Central Continent Ye Xuan]

[3. Central Continent Gu Qinghou]

[4. Central Continent Gu Yang]

[5. Southern Continent Chi Hua]

[6. Eastern Continent Leng Qinghan]

[7. ...]

When Zhang Chi saw Wenren Shu's name, he was stunned.

How did people from the Central Continent enter this Secret Realm?

Seeing the names of the Southern Continent and Eastern Continent, Zhang Chi quickly understood that there might be more than one entrance to this Secret Realm.

Perhaps there are many other entrances elsewhere?

Zhang Chi had this speculation and felt a sense of caution.

He continued to look down and finally saw his own name in the twentieth position.

It was normal to be ranked last after only passing the first level, but he didn't know how far ahead others had progressed.

It is human nature to be competitive, so Zhang Chi quickly said to the two people beside him, "Don't pay too much attention to the rankings, just follow the rules."

He didn't aim to be the first, but to safely pass the level.

Zhang Chi was never greedy.

After briefly looking at the rankings, he went to look at the other stone tablet.

This stone tablet displayed the new rules.

The second level was the Misty Stone Forest, where only one board in front could be seen.

At first glance, the difficulty didn't seem too great.

However, starting from this level, fish would jump out of the water and collide with the person jumping in the gaps.

The difficulty was increased twofold, but it wasn't a big problem.

"Let me go first!"

As usual, Zhang Chi took the lead to explore.

As Zhang Chi jumped out, the mist instantly enveloped him, obscuring his vision.

Previously, he could quickly pass the level by seeing three steps ahead and knowing where the next stone was. But now, after jumping out, he had to stay on the floating stones.

One could only stay on the floating stones for a maximum of one second, any longer and they would fall into the water.

The most difficult part was the large fish that would jump out of the water. Being hit by them could deviate from the intended trajectory and result in falling into the water and having to start over.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi could leap in the air, but he also felt that his cultivation was greatly restricted. The speed at which True Qi circulated in his body was as slow as a snail crawling.

In other words, he could still use True Qi, but only a little bit.

If flying was allowed in this level, it would naturally lose its meaning as a test. At most, he could use a bit of light body technique.

However, Zhang Chi was unaware of this. While calmly accepting the challenge, the others were dumbfounded when they saw the rankings.

"Western Continent Zhang Chi? Where did he come from?"

"Brahma Secret Realm is also open to the Western Continent?"

"How strange, let me take another look."

...

The crowd was discussing, mainly out of curiosity.

This Brahma Secret Realm is one of the few Secret Realms that are open for a long time and not controlled by anyone.

It opens periodically, with fixed locations, and there are entrances to the Secret Realm in the Eastern Continent, Central Continent, Southern Continent, and Northern Continent.

However, the opening time is random and cannot be determined specifically.

Therefore, those who are interested in entering the Secret Realm would usually stay near the entrance for a period of time.

At most, they would wait for a year, which is still bearable.

However, each person can only enter the Brahma Secret Realm once in their lifetime, so cultivators would only come to the Secret Realm when they need to refine their hearts.

The main participants in the Secret Realm are those in the Divine Ability Realm, followed by the Divine Soul Realm.

Those with higher or lower strength than this range will not enter this Secret Realm.

Those with higher strength have no use for it, and those with lower strength would be wasting the opportunity.

After all, a person's state of mind can change at any time. There is no need to cultivate and comprehend the Great Dao of life when in a lower realm, as there is nothing to comprehend.

Zhang Chi and the others happened to fall into this realm by chance. They were all within this range.

However, Zhang Chi did not know that the Secret Realm also had the function of refining the heart. He was only thinking about clearing the level.

Otherwise, he would have to wake up Long Yan first.

Zhang Chi's sword skills were profound, and he successfully jumped over without any damage.

But Tang Ruoling had a little accident. She was bumped by a fish and slipped when she landed.

These floating stones were treacherous. Some of them would be slippery when stepped on. If one wasn't careful, they would fall into the water. There was no point to leverage, so once they fell, they would be back to the starting point.

A huge wave surged, sending the four of them and a puppet back to the starting point.

Tang Ruoling felt apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, it was my carelessness."

"It's okay, stay calm. We are a team, and everyone makes mistakes. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhang Chi comforted Tang Ruoling and started a new journey.

Tang Ruoling also became spirited. This time, they were very successful. They cleared the level in one go, and Zi Mian also performed steadily, clearing it twice in a row.

The rankings changed again, and Wenren Shu was no longer in first place. It seemed that he had failed the challenge and had to start over.

Zhang Chi's position steadily advanced a little.

The difficulty of the third level increased again. The mist and flying fish were still there, but there were more floating stones, and there were also phantom floating stones.

These phantom floating stones appeared to be landing points, but once stepped on, they would directly fall into the water.

As an explorer, Zhang Chi also fell into the water due to this difficulty, but he also figured out the pattern.

The floating stones on the water had ripples, very small ripples, but they still existed.

Therefore, the floating stones would sway along with the ripples.

The ones that moved were the real floating stones, while the ones that didn't move were the fake ones.

This detail was very meticulous because the water was moving, and the fake floating stones also had reflections. They moved with the water, making it difficult to tell whether it was the water or the stone moving without careful observation.

This level had a high difficulty coefficient. They tried four times together before finally succeeding.

Their ranking also steadily rose.

Because of the rule that a failed challenge would start over, the rankings were almost constantly changing. However, some people who had a mishap and started over quickly climbed back up the leaderboard.

People on the leaderboard constantly fell off and then slowly climbed back up. There was no need to strive to catch up because those in front would naturally fall in rank.

Everyone was busy chasing after each other because the first person to pass the assessment would gain great benefits.

And the sudden rise of Zhang Chi from the Western Continent also puzzled other teams.

How did this team manage to steadily climb up?

Those who paid attention to the leaderboard would notice that this team was not always successful. What was terrifying was that they kept failing, falling down, but quickly climbed back up.

How could their mentality be so good? (End of this chapter)
