saint of humanity

Chapter 2302 Trap
There are starry wonders in every dimension of the starry sky, and there are quite a few of them. These wonders are basically born together with the starry sky and are the oldest things in the starry sky. Even with the passage of time and the passage of years, they still maintain their original appearance and environment.

There are many incredible things inside them. The original Dao patterns are what cultivators comprehended from different wonders of the starry sky. Only from this can cultivators be promoted to the Dao of Integration.

Since the Battle Ground is a piece of starry sky debris, it is not surprising that there are starry sky wonders.

The starry sky where Lu Ye was born has many starry sky wonders. Before he was promoted to Yue Yao, he went to the Yin-Yang Millstone to temper his body. At that time, his cultivation was too low, and he only knew that there was Yin-Yang power in that wonder that could grind his body. But now thinking back, there is indeed incredible mystery in the Yin-Yang Millstone.

If he were to go to the Yin-Yang Grindstone to comprehend something now, perhaps he would be able to gain something.

On the contrary, in Banlan, Lu Ye did not see any wonders of the starry sky.

This may be related to the fact that Banlan is a Taoist soldier. The old monster Jiuying cultivated the Yiyuan Starry Sky into his own Taoist soldier. The wonders inside were probably destroyed long ago, so they were not preserved.

This was the first starry sky wonder that Lu Ye had seen since leaving this starry sky.

I was curious for a moment. If I went in, would I be able to comprehend any wonderful Taoist patterns?

Thinking of this, Lu Ye shook his body and flew towards the ladder cloud wonder.

He approached quickly and ran headfirst into it.

The next moment Lu Ye felt something was wrong, because when he entered this wonder, he actually had a sense of teleportation!

When he came to his senses again, his face was solemn and his Taoist power was secretly urged!
Because there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him from all directions, this situation was completely beyond Lu Ye's expectations. And the place where he was now was not a wonder at all. It was a floating land, surrounded by a familiar chaotic fog, and there were floating stairs on the side of him, extending upwards.

what's the situation?
Lu Ye was puzzled. Why were there so many people here?

No, they are not humans, but the Rong Dao of various races!

What surprised Lu Ye even more was that the eyes of these Rong Dao looked at him without any hostility. Instead, they were full of joy and excitement, as if Lu Ye was the savior who came to save them!
"Finally, another fellow Taoist comes in!" a voice sounded.

Lu Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man walking out from among the crowd.

Lu Ye felt that the other person looked familiar.

Suddenly I remembered that this person was the first one to stand up on the white jade platform after Qi announced the two rules.

This guy is at the peak of Rong Dao, and the person he chose to be his companion was also at the peak of Rong Dao.

Lu Ye turned his eyes and saw his companion in the crowd. It was a human woman with a cold face, like an iceberg that had never melted.

"Don't be nervous, fellow Daoist. We have no ill will towards you." The man saw Lu Ye's vigilance and spoke to comfort him.

The others also looked very kind.

Lu Ye was even more confused. In such a battle, not only did everyone gather here without fighting, but they could actually live in peace? This was somewhat unreasonable.

Under normal circumstances, with so many people gathering together, their brains would have been confused and they would have to decide whether to live or die.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Lu Ye was secretly alert.

"What's your name, fellow Daoist? I'm Ninggu from the Chi clan!" The one who was at the peak of the Rong Dao realm clasped his fists and behaved politely.

Lu Ye looked him up and down, frowning slightly: "Aren't you a human?"

He had never heard of the Chi tribe, but no matter how he looked at it, this Ning Gu was a human, without any characteristics of other races.

Ning Gu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know that my Chi clan is indeed descended from the human race. On the surface, there is no difference between the Chi clan and the human race, but in fact, we are not the same race."

Lu Ye blinked, not wanting to argue with him on this issue, and just asked, "What's going on here?"

What he was more curious about was why everyone looked at him as if he were a savior, so earnestly and enthusiastically.

Ning Gu sighed, "I was just about to explain to you, Daoist friend, before you came in, you probably also mistakenly thought that the ladder cloud was a starry wonder, right?"

Lu Ye nodded.

"This is actually a trap!" Ning Gu's face was grim. "We were all deceived. We thought it was a starry sky spectacle, but after entering, we ended up here."

Lu Ye's heart sank: "No way to leave?"

He didn't know how long these Rong Dao had been trapped, but since they were still here, it meant that they had no way to leave.

If we are trapped here forever, it will be a big problem.

"Yes!" Ning Gu raised his hand and pointed: "Fellow Daoist, look over there."

Lu Ye looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a hazy light at the top of the stairs. Faintly visible, there was something that looked like a token in the hazy light.

"Rare treasure?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

He had been wandering around in this starry sky fragment for such a long time, and he had only obtained the treasure, the Dao Power Bottle. However, he had seen the birth of rare treasures not once but twice. Unfortunately, except for the Dao Power Bottle, when he hurried over the second time, the rare treasure had already been obtained by others.

He didn't even know what the rare treasure was.

"It is indeed a rare treasure, but fellow Taoist, please watch the rest."

Only then did Lu Ye notice that behind the strange treasure, there was something that looked like a door.

"Is that the exit?" Lu Ye asked.

"Our guess is that this trap cannot be unbreakable, so as long as we can push open that door, we should be able to get out."

"What difficulties have you encountered?" Lu Ye asked.

These people gathered here, neither going to grab the rare treasures nor to open the door, which was obviously abnormal. Moreover, they were all looking forward to his arrival. Lu Ye didn't think he could bear their expectations. Not to mention, Ning Gu was at the peak of Rong Dao, so his strength would not be inferior to himself, and he also had a companion who was also at the peak of Rong Dao.

"You are a wise man." Ning Gu liked talking to wise men like Lu Ye, and it wouldn't be too tiring. "But before I explain the situation, I would like to ask you, what is your cultivation level?"

Lu Ye was silent for a moment, then straightened his back: "Ninth level of the fusion path!"

While he was talking to Ning Gu, he was actually secretly observing the others. Even though they did not really fight, he could still vaguely judge that among the Rong Dao here, only Ning Gu and his companions were at the peak of the Rong Dao.

In such an environment, Lu Ye certainly couldn't show weakness, otherwise it would easily make people have inappropriate thoughts.

Especially, everyone is in a group, but he is alone!
The ninth level of Rong Dao is a very suitable level of cultivation, which will neither make Ning Gu alert nor let others look down on him.

"That's great!" Ning Gu was overjoyed when he heard that.

The other Rong Daos also showed delighted expressions.

Lu Ye felt something was not right!
It was not until then that he noticed that there were traces of blood on the stairs leading upwards. In other words, people had died here, and more than one.

Beneath the seemingly harmonious relationship between these Rong Dao people, there must be something hidden that he is unaware of.

Ning Gu continued, "Look, fellow Daoist, there are thirteen stairs here in total, but you can't just climb them randomly. If you want to climb a step, there must be someone on the previous step, otherwise you can't go up at all."

Lu Ye thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant: "Does this mean that only when someone stands on the first step can the second step be entered?"

Ning Gu nodded: "That's right!"

Lu Ye turned around and counted. There were a total of thirteen cultivators here, including him!
I finally understood why these guys were so happy to see me, because the twelve of them could only occupy twelve steps and could not reach the top to open the door.

And my arrival just made the number of people complete.

But if that's the case, then why did someone die before?
Could it be that a fight had occurred without anyone knowing, and people had died?

As for why this trap requires such a way to break it, Lu Ye has no way of knowing. This may be a test of the will of Xingyuan to the cultivators who come here, or it may just be the rules within the starry sky wonder!

"What about the rare treasure?" Lu Ye asked.

Ning Gu said: "We have discussed this before. There is only one rare treasure, so it all depends on our luck."

"Please make it clear."

"Draw lots!" Ning Gu said succinctly, "But this draw is not about who will get the rare treasure, but about the positions of each of you fellow Taoists!"

There are thirteen steps and thirteen monks. Whoever draws the top position will naturally get the rare treasure.

There is no need to worry about cheating or anything like that, because before drawing lots, you can swear in the name of Xingyuan's will, which can prevent the host from cheating, and it can be considered fair and just.

"But there is one more problem I want to let you know." Ning Gu spoke again, "Not just anyone can stay on this staircase, because the lower you are on the staircase, the longer you stay there, the greater the pressure you will bear. You should have seen that someone has died here before, because their cultivation was not good enough and they could not bear the increasing pressure, so they exploded and died. The pressure on the two lowest steps is especially great, which is why I asked you about your cultivation before. Your ninth-level cultivation is enough to bear the pressure on the two lowest steps."

Lu Ye's face suddenly darkened: "Fellow Daoist Ning, this is not right. Just now you said you would draw lots, why are you deciding now that I will stay on the lower two steps?"

He felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would not have reported the ninth level of the Fusion Dao...

But it would be useless even if he did so, because even if he concealed it, Ning Gu would definitely find a way to test it. Now that he has reported that he is at the ninth level of Rong Dao, he has met the requirements. Of course, there is no need for Ning Gu to test anything.

But how could he agree to such a thing?

He also wanted the rare treasure, so why should he stay on the two steps below and watch others take it away?
