C651 One Leaf at a Time
Ming Ruhuang's words made many people admire him.
Such an open-minded mind was definitely not something an ordinary person could compare with.
However, at this moment, everyone's attention was still focused on Lingang.
Lingang, who was standing outside the thick fog, took a deep breath and slowly took his first step. This seemingly casual step gave people a unique and mysterious feeling.
If the thick fog was a devil.
Then, with this step, Lingang stepped on the land covered by light, avoiding the attack of the devil.
Someone wanted to remember where Lingang had landed in the thick fog.
However, no matter how hard they tried, it was all in vain.
Because this step looked extremely casual. Everyone could see where Lingang's foot landed. But at the same time, they had a very clear intuition that if they were to step on it, they would definitely die.
Everyone knew that only by grasping the mystery of this step could they safely walk into the thick fog.
In other words, they had to comprehend the profundities contained within the thick fog.
Lingang took the first step and walked into the thick fog. At this moment, everyone realized that there was a green leaf under Lingang's feet.
Then, Lingang took the second step.
At this moment, everyone paid close attention to Lingang's foot. They found that the moment Lingang's foot touched the ground, a green leaf grew out of thin air.
The green leaf supported Lingang's feet and blocked the power of the thick fog.
After that, Lingang continued walking forward.
The third step.
Fourth step.
Fifth step...
With each step, a green leaf would appear.
After Lingang took nine steps forward, the scene of each step and leaf stopped.
After taking nine steps, Lingang was sweating profusely. No matter what, he could not take another step. Because he knew very well that if he took one step, he would turn into ashes.
This meant that his comprehension of the mysteries in the thick fog had reached the limit of what he could comprehend.
In the end, Lingang had no choice but to return the way he came.
The others could also see that it wasn't that Lingang didn't want to continue forward, but that he would die if he continued forward.
"Brother Ming, it's your turn." After Lingang retreated, he looked at Ming Ruhuang and said with a bitter smile.
He thought that he would be able to obtain the Nine Spiritual Flowers, but he didn't expect the changes in the Great Dao in the fog to be even more unfathomable than he had imagined.
Ming Ruhuang didn't say anything. He walked into the fog with a solemn expression.
One leaf after another.
Each step was very slow, but very steady.
However, after Ming Ruhuang took nine steps, he similarly hesitated and didn't dare take the tenth step after a long time.
After a long time, Ming Ruhuang gritted his teeth and took the tenth step. However, he did not dare to continue forward. He could only sigh and withdraw.
Everyone looked at the Nine Spiritual Flowers. Judging from Lingang and Ming Ruhuang's steps, they would need at least fifteen steps to pluck the Nine Spiritual Flowers.
As for Lingang and Ming Ruhuang, one took nine steps and the other took ten steps. There was still an insurmountable gap between them if they wanted to complete fifteen steps.
Standing outside the thick fog, Lingang and Ming Ruhuang's expressions didn't look too good.
They were the twelve overlords of the younger generation. At first, they were full of confidence, but the result was the same.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who understood the mysteries of the fog. Another person immediately walked out after seeing the two fail.
Even if it was dangerous, they had to give it a try when facing the Nine Spirit Flower.
Furthermore, what if his comprehension was correct?
Once he acquired the Nine Spirit Flower, it would bring him endless benefits. The path of cultivation would surely be altered as a result!
However, most of the people who had entered the mist only took two to three steps before they had no choice but to withdraw. There were also some who were unwilling to give up and continued to walk forward.
However, the consequences of doing so were that they were directly crushed into nothingness by the Great Dao force in the thick fog and were obliterated.
Gradually, those who had comprehended the dense fog all went to try.
In the end, everyone discovered that there was no luck in obtaining the Nine Spirit Flower. It did not mean that whoever was lucky would be able to obtain the Nine Spirit Flower, either they would be able to comprehend the mysteries of the thick mist, or they would be able to forcefully blast the thick mist apart.
The last one... No one thought too much about it. If they wanted to forcefully obtain the Nine Spirit Flower, they guessed that they would need at least an extraordinary existence to do so.
"Let me give it a try." At this moment, one of the two Innate Stage Middle Period elders, who was half a hundred years old, finally walked out.
His pair of sparkling eyes were staring at the thick fog, and his face was filled with confidence.
He was confident enough to comprehend the mysteries of the thick fog.
Under the crowd's gaze, the old man took a steady and powerful step and stepped into the thick fog.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The fifty old man's speed was not fast, but it was not slow either. In the blink of an eye, he had already taken ten steps. This was Ming Ruhuang's limit, and it was also the maximum number of steps he could take before this.
But at this moment, the old man took another step without hesitation.
Green leaves grew under his feet and supported his entire body.
"It can't be!" Everyone was extremely shocked.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the old man, including Ming Ruhuang and Lingang. Their facial expressions kept changing. No one could guess what they were thinking.
The old man took the twelfth step, and he was still as calm and confident as before.
However, right at this moment, the crowd's cries of alarm had yet to come out of their mouths when they stopped abruptly.
"With a bang, everyone saw the old man explode. He quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
"Uh..." They did not know what to say.
With how confident and calm the old man was, everyone believed that he had the confidence to walk in front of the Nine Spirit Flower. They did not expect that the elder's confidence was actually just an illusion.
However, even so, successfully taking eleven steps was still the closest step to the Nine Spirit Flower.2
The other Innate Stage Middle Period expert was silent. He didn't even look at the crowd as he walked towards the thick fog alone. In the end, he only took ten steps before he had no choice but to step back.
"Could it be that no one can obtain the Nine Spirit Flower?" Many people looked up at the sky and sighed.
Such a divine flower, just like that, was defeated in front of everyone's eyes. In the end, they could only watch and not obtain it. This kind of depressing feeling almost drove people crazy.
"Aren't you going to try?" In the crowd, Yang Fan looked at Hertz Lianxu and asked.
"What about you?" Hertz Lianxu asked back.
"I'll wait for you to give it a try. Otherwise, you won't have the chance." Yang Fan shrugged and smiled.
Hertz Lianxu was already used to such arrogant words. He knew what Yang Fan said. This also meant that he had absolute confidence.
"Alright, I'll give it a try. Don't feel any heartache when I get the Nine Spirit Flower." Hertz Lianxu teased.
"There's nothing I can do about it. It means that I have no fate with it." Yang Fan shrugged.
The conversation between the two was heard by many people around them.
Finally, a man who had suffered a setback in the thick fog couldn't hold it in anymore and said disdainfully, "Two ignorant brats. When they boast, it's really earth-shattering."
The man did not deliberately lower his voice, so even more people heard it.
Therefore, many gazes looked over.
