In the Xushen Temple, more and more monks found that the number of spirit cores they obtained did not match the number shown on the stone tablet.
They thought that the temple guards had made a mistake.
"Quiet."
The girl raised her eyes indifferently, her tone was indifferent, but there was an unquestionable majesty.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the hall guard, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
“The stone tablet is correct. The number of spirit cores displayed on it is the actual number you obtained during the trial.
I know you are curious about why the number of spirit cores shown on the stone tablet is less than the number of spirit cores you have obtained."
After a pause, the girl continued, "Because when you teleport away from the island, a portion of your spirit core will be consumed. The consumed portion will naturally not be counted."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people were shocked.
"What? Leaving the island by teleporting actually consumes spirit cores? I left the island on the second day, no wonder the number of spirit cores is reduced by a full ten!"
"I left the island on the fifth day. I managed to save up 300 spirit cores and left the island. So, does that mean I didn't save up even one spirit core?"
Feng Ling finally understood how he had lost his two thousand spirit cores.
It turns out that leaving the island by teleporting will result in the loss of spirit cores. As time goes by, the later you leave the island, the more spirit cores you consume.
Everyone was very dissatisfied. "If I had known this, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave the island, and I wouldn't have only gotten a few spirit cores."
"Why isn't such an important matter written into the rules? Palace Guardian, you should give us an explanation!"
"Yes, you should have told us this long ago!"
Especially the three ancient clans, their expressions were extremely ugly. Not only did their ranking fall out of the top ten, they even fell out of the top fifty. This was simply unprecedented!
The Lei Nu tribe, by stepping on the other three tribes, rose to power and actually made it into the top 20!
"Because this is also part of the trial."
Facing everyone's questioning, the girl's voice remained calm.
She glanced at everyone, her tone calm.
"Why do you think that you can withdraw from the trial early without paying any price? Since you chose to save your lives, isn't it normal to lose some spirit cores?"
"Okay, even if these numbers are correct, how come the human race ranks second? Given the strength of the human race, there is no way they can be ranked so high, right?"
"Yes, if it was the Celestials, I would still believe it, but the Humans, how could they come in second?"
"Instead of questioning the results of the stone tablet, it is better to question your own strength."
The girl had no intention of explaining. She waved her hand lightly, and instantly sent away ninety-nine percent of the thousands of people in the hall, leaving only one hundred people.
These one hundred people are the ones who have made the greatest contributions among the top one hundred races ranked this time.
According to the rules, they will be rewarded.
"The reward this time is the Good Fortune Pool. Depending on your ranking, each of you will have a different time to enter the Good Fortune Pool. The first place winner can stay in the Good Fortune Pool for a full 100 days, while the 100th place winner can only stay for one day.
When the time is up, you will be asked to leave the Void Temple and return to where you were before entering the Creation Mountain. "
As soon as the fairy tale finished, the surrounding environment changed again.
They were no longer in the main hall, but in a new space, surrounded by hot mist and divided into small pools of about ten feet in radius.
“These pools are numbered, so don’t go into the wrong one and end up in someone else’s pool.
There are infinite fortunes in the Fortune Pool. The longer you stay there, the greater the benefits. How much benefit you can get depends on you. "
After leaving these words, the girl disappeared completely.
The remaining one hundred people carefully looked at the surrounding fortune pool.
At first glance, the pools appear to be no different.
But if you look closely, you will find that the top ten pools are larger and the color of the water is purer, presenting a soft light gold color.
The other pools are relatively smaller and the water is lighter in color.
According to the girl, the first one can stay in the pool for a hundred days, while the last one can only stay for one day.
So, will pool numbered 100 disappear tomorrow
If I occupy someone else's pool... can I stay in the Creation Pool for a longer time
Some people were tempted to do this, but they finally suppressed their thoughts when they thought of what the girl said before she left.
The elders of the tribe once said that the people guarding the temple are most likely not from the spiritual world. It is best not to act rashly in the Temple of the Void God, so as not to bring disaster to the tribe.
After looking at the pool, everyone walked towards their own creation pool.
Feng Ling stepped into the pool numbered 10 with some depression. If he had not left the island early, the fourth place would have been his.
But the tenth place is not bad either. Maybe I can find a way to solve the Soul-Splitting Breath among them.
At the same time, Xu Chunniang also approached the Creation Pool numbered 2.
She did not rush into the pool, but squatted down and pushed the water with her hands.
The water in the pool sways gently, creating circles of golden ripples and sparkling light, which looks magnificent and dreamy.
"This is not a real good fortune pool. The water has been diluted. However, the water is not bad. It is more than enough for you young cultivators in the Void Refining Stage."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
"Of course, my inherited memory told me that the real Good Fortune Pond is called the Good Fortune Golden Pond. It only exists in the Immortal Realm. The color of the water in the pond is pure gold, not this pale gold."
Wang Tianhu said proudly, "Of course, with your level of cultivation, even if the Golden Pond of Fortune in the Immortal Realm was placed in front of you, you would not be able to use it. Instead, you would be burned to death by the water."
"So that's how it is. This is actually something from the fairyland."
Xu Chunniang scooped up a handful of water with both hands and carefully observed the water in her palms.
The water was very hot and heavy, and every drop of it glowed with a light golden luster. As it flowed and collided, it seemed as if a subtle force of law was constantly being generated and then slowly dissipating.
"The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention, so no one in the world can contend with it. It stays where others hate, so it is in the right path."
Xu Chunniang recalled the Taoist Canon she had read. At that time, she did not understand why water was highly praised in the Taoist Canon and was said to be very close to Taoism.
But now, seeing this pool of swaying golden water, she seemed to understand something.
Xu Chunniang calmed herself down and slowly stepped into the pool. The boiling water wrapped around her body, like some kind of unconditional acceptance.
The moment she stepped completely into the pool, she felt her body and soul become lighter, as if she was floating in the air.
This small pool seemed to have transformed into a vast ocean, and Xu Chunniang was a lone boat on the sea.
