Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

Chapter 51: Trial, Essence of Water

After seeing Nie Ling and the others, he used his true essence and jumped across the mud lake to the two women.

He looked at the two women with a hint of joy on his face as he said calmly, “great, it seems like you guys are fine.”

The two women were dressed neatly in their robes and did not look like they were in a bad situation. It seemed like they would not be bothered even if they ran into those withered tree demons.

“Yeah, although we encountered some withered tree demons, it’s not a big problem. However, with your tone, could it be that you wanted something to happen to us?”

Nie Ling’s eyes contained some ridicule as she looked at him and said jokingly.

Looking at her gaze, Su Yi felt that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly laughed.

Seeing this, Li Mengxi’s gaze turned towards Su Yi’s direction and asked, “what should we do now? Should we continue to explore around?”

Su Yi’s expression became slightly serious. He looked at the two women and slowly said, “I don’t know if you guys have received any heavenly notifications. This place is the first heaven trial. Then, what is this the trial?”

His words seemed to startle the women. After hearing this, the two women fell into a short period of thinking.

He had just thought it through not too long ago. After these ruins opened, it was impossible for geniuses to be allowed to enter and explore freely.

It was called the Triple Heaven Trial. It was also previously stated that geniuses needed to clear the first trial to unlock the second trial. It could be seen that there would definitely be a trial ground somewhere in this dense forest.

There might also be some powerful demon beasts, beast tides, and so on.

In short, anything could happen in these ruins. This was what he was worried about now.

At this moment, Nie Ling also understood. Her eyes flickered slightly as she understood the meaning behind Su Yi’s words.

She looked at him and said softly, “fellow Daoist Su, we have indeed received heavenly voice’s reminder. However, we don’t know about the trial…”

“Indeed, this sea of trees is very large. However, we don’t know where to begin with the trial,” Li Mengxi said.

At the moment, they had not encountered any cultivators, so one could imagine how big this dense forest was.

“Then this is going to be difficult. If we search like headless flies, we might not even be able to find the ruins and finish the task.”

Just as the three of them were completely clueless, the heavenly voice from the immortal destiny seal sounded once again.

[Hint: There are sufficient cultivators who entered the Triple Heaven Trial. The first trial has begun.]

[Hint: The first trial has begun. Please collect the essence of water, 1/10.]

This voice was resonating throughout the ruins. All cultivators who had entered the Triple Heaven Trial received this voice.

Looking at the two voice prompts, Su Yi was slightly startled. The name ‘essence of water’ seemed somewhat familiar.

“Fellow Daoist Su, do you know what that essence of water is?”

Nie Ling leaned over and asked in puzzlement.

Su Yi chuckled. He finally remembered and took out a bead from the immortal destiny seal.

“This should be the essence of water.”

“This is the essence of water?”

Li Mengxi also leaned over. She looked curiously at the bead in Su Yi’s hand.

“That’s right. At that time, I obtained it from a treasure chest in a quagmire. By the way, when you killed the withered tree demon, did you encounter a treasure chest?” he looked at the two women and asked.

He guessed that the essence of water would most likely only appear in treasure chests.

“No,” the two women shook their heads and replied.

At this moment, the quagmire on the surface of the lake began to move.

The mud began to bubble and break apart.

Waves of a foul smell drifted along with the wind, making people feel nauseous.

The two women covered their noses. If it were not for Su Yi, they would have wanted to run away.

Su Yi looked at the changing mud lake and frowned. Even he could not stand the stench, let alone the two women.

Just as he was about to suggest leaving, Nie Ling exclaimed, “look quickly, don’t tell me something has appeared above the mud lake!”

When he and Li Mengxi heard this, they looked over together.

As expected, one enormous tentacle after another slowly rose up within the mud lake.

Tentacles?

However, these rising ‘tentacles’ did not move, as if they were only rising up for the sake of rising up.

When he looked at those tentacles, he felt that they were somewhat familiar.

Why did these tentacles look so familiar? Suddenly, his handsome eyes widened as he shouted, “quickly retreat!!”

With a loud shout, a few tentacles suddenly broke out from the mud lake near them.

It was already too late for the two women to dodge. Su Yi’s gaze focused.

He pushed Nie Ling away with one hand and pushed Li Mengxi with the other.

A tremendous force acted on the two women’s bodies, and they were pushed far away. Su Yi, who remained, was just about to activate his sword finger.

A ‘tentacle’ had already arrived at his feet. Then, it tightened its grip and pulled him to the ground.

Swoosh–

The few tentacles followed behind and bound one of his hands and the other leg at the same time.

Su Yi’s entire body was bound by these ‘tentacles’. Then, they began to pull, and Su Yi’s entire body was dragged into the mud lake.

“Su Yi!!”

Seeing this, Nie Ling shouted. She wanted to help, but it was too late. She watched helplessly as he was dragged into the mud lake.

“No!!!”

A voice filled with despair resounded through the dense forest.

Su Yi, who was dragged into the mud, felt his vision darken before a notification came.

[Notification: You have been dragged into the Lake of Ten Thousand Vines. Qi and blood: -500]

[Notification: you have been dragged into the Lake of Ten Thousand Vines. Qi and blood: -1000]

…

In just a few dozen seconds, it had reduced his qi and blood by nearly 3000 points.

But at the same time, he also discovered that these ‘tentacles’ were not some kind of living demon beast, but a kind of vine.

Just like the name, the Lake of Ten Thousand Vines, this was not a demon beast at all, but a plant that had gained sentience!

These tentacles were only spirit plant vines.

Therefore, when these vines pulled at him, with his defense, it did not cause much damage. On the contrary, the quagmire dealt the majority of the erosion damage.

After passing through the quagmire, he did not know how far he was dragged. He only felt that the vines binding him did not seem to be as tight as before. He could not help but be puzzled.

Why did they loosen? I can still hold on for a while.

However, he was not foolish enough to let the vines continue to bind him. His true essence instantly exploded.

It immediately strangled his surroundings. His true essence was focused and it easily cut off the vines binding him.

Seeing this, he understood even more. Spirit plants were real, not as thick-skinned as demon beasts.

It was easy for his true essence to break the vines apart

Thinking of the two women who were still on the shore, he quickly communicated through the seal to show that he was safe and sound.

As he spoke, the true essence under his feet exploded, and with the help of the reverse thrust, he started to swim toward the surface of the mud lake..
