253: sky-gazing stone

However, the drawback of this item is also very obvious: it's a one-time use.

It took him so long to accumulate enough to use it just this once.

Fortunately, its power was indeed quite good.

It was not in vain that he had been using Qi and blood to accumulate it for the past few days.

After killing the Spear Puppet, Mu Feng immediately turned his head to look at the last Shield Puppet.

Without the two damage dealers, resolving the Shield Puppet was not difficult.

With the combined efforts of the eight Little Lizards and Mu Feng, the remaining Shield Puppet was eventually worn down and killed.

After the kill, Mu Feng immediately led the eight Little Lizards out of this maze.

System Reminder: Congratulations on successfully clearing the level!

System Reminder: xiānlíng treasure chest x2

As the prompt appeared, two large red treasure chests materialized in front of Mu Feng.

These were the xiānlíng treasure chests he had seen before.

System Reminder: xiānlíng treasure chests cannot be disassembled or taken away. They will automatically open ten seconds after you acquire them, so you'd best think about what you need first.

Just like the previous one, it needed to be opened within ten seconds.

Seeing this, Mu Feng didn't dawdle.

He directly chanted 'xiling stone' and 'geng essence' in his mind.

He currently had only three geng essence.

If he wanted to refine a complete set of his Natal Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, he would need nine geng essence.

System Reminder: xiling stone x5

System Reminder: geng essence x2

...System Reminder: xiling stone x4

System Reminder: geng essence x1

As the two xiānlíng treasure chests opened, Mu Feng gained a total of nine xiling stones and three geng essence.

“It's not a fixed quantity for opening,” Mu Feng was a bit surprised.

He had thought each treasure chest could only yield five xiling stones.

If that were the case, he couldn't guarantee that six treasure chests would be enough to gather all the Materials he needed.

Fortunately, there might not be only six xiānlíng treasure chests here.

After all, this was only the first floor.

There should be more later.

After putting away the xiling stone and geng essence, Mu Feng took out the green orb that had dropped from the serpentine Puppet at the beginning to examine it.

This item was somewhat similar to the po jade he had seen in the Yin Spirit Land, but not entirely.

Peeping Heaven Stone: A core item from ancient Puppets, it can be used to enhance a Puppet's sensitivity to various elements.

“Peeping Heaven Stone, enhances a Puppet's sensitivity to elements?!”

“Holy crap, this thing is good!”

“No wonder those Puppets could still release their former skills after dying; so it was because of this!”

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

With this, Little Lizard's Golden Flame recovery ability would be greatly enhanced.

He would no longer have to worry about it needing a long time to recover after each use.

“Little Lizard, here you go!” Mu Feng happily tossed the Peeping Heaven Stone to Little Lizard.

It merged into its body.

As the green orb entered, a dazzling green light emanated from Little Lizard's body.

The silver tadpoles inside its body swam around, then formed a green vortex in its Dantian abdomen.

If one looked closely, they might notice the vortex continuously absorbing fire-elemental energy from the air.

“Good, good!” Little Lizard and he had the deepest bond, so Mu Feng was very happy to see it grow stronger.

Seeing Little Lizard finish absorbing, Mu Feng put them all back into his spirit beast bag.

The battle with the Puppets had left the eight Little Lizards with more or less some injuries.

He didn't know what they might encounter next.

It was better to put them into the spirit beast bag first, so if anything unexpected happened, he could also make a run for it.

Congratulations on passing the maze trial of the first stage. The second stage tests whether your Divine Soul is strong enough. Good luck!

As soon as he put away his Spirit Beasts, the red prompt appeared in front of Mu Feng again.

“Testing my Divine Soul?”

“Hehe, isn't that just giving me free rewards?”

Mu Feng had originally worried that the second floor would test his intelligence like the maze on this floor.

Seeing that it was a Divine Soul test, Mu Feng was overjoyed.

After learning the Divine Origin Skill, he couldn't say anything about other aspects, but he believed his Divine Soul was no weaker than a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

“Bring it on!” Mu Feng confidently stepped into the second floor.

As soon as he entered the second floor, the scenery before Mu Feng's eyes changed.

The original maze had disappeared, replaced by a magnificent palace.

The palace was extremely luxurious, filled with dazzling sights, and accompanied by bursts of immortal music.

It was the first time Mu Feng had heard such elegant and pleasing music.

Calling it immortal music wouldn't be an exaggeration.

It was so beautiful that Mu Feng himself felt like staying there forever, not wanting to leave.

All sorts of chaotic thoughts were thrown to the back of his mind.

At this moment, he only wanted to reside permanently in this palace.

The immortal music initially came from afar, but as Mu Feng stood watching, it grew closer and closer.

At this point, Mu Feng saw that these immortal melodies were emanating from instruments held by graceful celestials.

They danced gracefully, their postures exquisite.

Their eyes were fiery, looking at Mu Feng with deep affection, as if he were their lover.

A moment later, these celestials began to circle around Mu Feng.

Their eyes were like water, looking as if they wanted to devour Mu Feng.

“Come, come… come play.” The celestials beckoned, calling Mu Feng over.

However, facing the celestials' invitation, Mu Feng seemed not to hear, remaining motionless.

This made the celestials a bit anxious.

They began to approach him, reaching out to pull him forward.

“Hmph, I've been waiting for you!”

“Die for me!”

The moment the celestials approached, Mu Feng, who had been wearing a dazed expression, suddenly became sharp.

With a flick of his hand, a silver spear appeared in his grasp.

The spear gleamed with a cold light.

Then, he mercilessly plunged the silver spear into the bodies of the celestials who had approached him!

Facing Mu Feng's sudden attack, the women looked incredulous.

They never imagined that their lover would suddenly attack them.

“Brother, why is this?”

“Damn it, still pretending!”

“You've already been exposed, handsome!”

Mu Feng looked at the beautiful women in front of him with disdain.

Blue light surged in his eyes, as he had activated his Spiritual Eye Divine Power at some point.

At this moment, what stood before him were not beautiful women at all, but hideous demons, each looking at Mu Feng with disbelief.

As for the magnificent palace before him, it had vanished like smoke.

All that remained was a bottomless abyss, with only Mu Feng's current standing position being safe.

If he took one more step, he would be doomed forever.
