Among the seeded participants, some excelled at refining medicine, preparing for any eventuality.
"Brothers from the Black Tortoise Star Domain, do you have any puppets for sale? The kind that can scout."
"Who has any spare True God Realm artifacts? Sell me one, the price is negotiable."
Lin Moyu did not need to prepare anything. He connected to the Human Emperor Network and began checking the specific details of the mission.
Chapter 1492: Displaying Secret Techniques, Golden Avenues
The requirement of the mission was to walk out of the Huanshan Continent.
Although it looked like only one mission, there were actually two requirements.
Merely walking out of the Huanshan Continent was not enough; one also had to earn enough points.
If the points were insufficient, the ranking would certainly be low, and one would not receive any rewards, at best only avoiding punishment.
If one wanted to take first place, one had to find a way to obtain a large number of points.
The ways to obtain points were nothing more than killing giant beasts and acquiring tokens.
Killing giant beasts of different levels yielded different amounts of points.
Ordinary giant beasts, 1 point. Elite-level giant beasts, 10 points. Boss-level giant beasts, 1,000 points. Leader-level giant beasts, 100,000 points.
The giant beasts were divided into four levels, from the weakest at 1 point to the strongest at 100,000 points, a massive gap of 100,000 times.
Lin Moyu's expression turned strange, and he continued to check the point values for the tokens.
The tokens were also divided into four types: silver tokens, golden tokens, white jade tokens, and purple jade tokens.
The points were the same as the classification for the giant beasts, from 1 point for a silver token to 100,000 points for a purple jade token, also a 100,000-fold difference.
In Lin Moyu's view, the two ways of obtaining points corresponded to combat power and attentiveness, respectively.
Some cultivators had powerful combat strength but were not attentive enough.
Some cultivators had relatively weak combat strength but were attentive enough to always discover some details.
Regardless of which type, both could be reflected in the mission.
Possessing both was naturally the best, and the score would often be the highest.
Moreover, the huge difference in points represented by the giant beasts, a full 100,000 times, was actually meant to widen the gap between top-tier geniuses and ordinary geniuses.
A top-tier genius could even avoid killing any giant beasts along the way, and by killing a leader-level giant beast at the end, they could obtain a large number of points.
Meanwhile, an ordinary genius might kill until they were exhausted, yet still not match the final battle of a top-tier genius.
Lin Mohan was also checking the mission information. "Lin Moyu, don't you think this grading system is quite different from the Great World, but rather similar to a Dungeon?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "It really is very similar. Actually, when I was on the battlefield, I had this doubt several times."
Lin Mohan's narrow eyes curved like willow leaves. "What do you think, Lin Moyu?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Based on the information obtained so far, I can only say that our Small World is somewhat special. But I cannot analyze any further reasons."
Lin Mohan hummed in agreement. "Master also said that our Small World is different. I'll leave this matter to you, Lin Moyu; I'm too lazy to rack my brain."
Lin Moyu nodded. "Alright, I will investigate it clearly. If there are any problems, just come over and shatter them with a sword, sister."
Lin Mohan glared at him. "You've gotten bold, haven't you? Daring to tease me."
Lin Moyu chuckled and didn't respond.
The two arrived at the central plaza. By this time, almost all the seeded participants had already gathered here, waiting for the mission to officially begin.
The cultivators from the Four Great Star Domains were basically gathered together.
The cultivators from the Divine City also gathered together, staying relatively close to the cultivators from the Four Great Star Domains.
The War God Temple maintained its unique arrogance, staying far away from the crowd.
On the other side, three people stood side by side.
One of them was Dongfang Ze, who had wanted to spar with Lin Moyu that day.
When Lin Moyu looked over, Dongfang Ze happened to look over as well, and their gazes met in mid-air.
He smiled at Lin Moyu in greeting, and Lin Moyu nodded slightly.
Dongfang Ze had now regained his composure and was no longer as arrogant as he had been that day. It was as if what happened that day had never occurred.
However, the pride in Dongfang Ze's bones still existed. He was a top-tier genius of the Divine City, and even within the Divine City, his status was not low.
This could be seen from the position where he stood; he did not stand with the other cultivators from the Divine City.
Those who could stand side by side with Dongfang Ze were also two Lesser God Venerables from the Divine City.
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "In the Divine City, the hierarchy is also very strict."
Lin Mohan chuckled. "It's the same everywhere, Lin Moyu. You haven't realized this after all this time, have you?"
Lin Moyu chose not to respond; his sister just loved to tease him.
The central plaza gradually became quiet, and everyone had made their preparations.
Everyone had also gradually adapted to their cultivation realm being suppressed by the formation.
After all, cultivation levels would also be suppressed during the Four Star Domain Competition, so they had come to terms with it.
As the mission approached, the atmosphere inevitably became tense.
Half an hour later, the formation erupted with a burst of golden light, which exploded in the sky like fireworks, dyeing the entire island gold.
As if some passage had been opened, heart-stopping beast roars came from all directions.
Golden avenues formed in the sky, with thousands of them appearing in the air.
Everyone knew that each person had to choose a golden avenue to leave the island.
The Huanshan Continent was a standard circle, and Fire Seed Island was located in the very center of the continent; regardless of which direction one left from, the distance required to walk out of the Huanshan Continent was the same.
But the same distance did not mean the same level of danger.
Along the way, there would be more or fewer giant beasts, some strong and some weak, and the number of tokens would not be uniform either.
Choosing a golden avenue was actually a test of luck.
Some took out a set of copper coin-style artifacts to start divining, while others secretly used techniques, calculating with their fingers.
Chu Xiong looked at Zhuang Bi. "Old Zhuang, it's up to you."
Zhuang Bi smiled slightly. He took out a jade eyeball and slapped it onto Chu Xiong's forehead.
A third eye suddenly appeared on Chu Xiong's forehead…
Chu Xiong closed his eyes tightly and looked at the sky using this newly grown third eye.
Soon, he locked onto a golden avenue.
He reached up, wiped the third eye off his forehead, returned it to Zhuang Bi, and said in a low voice, "I'm going."
Zhuang Bi nodded. "Be careful."
"Don't worry!" Chu Xiong's burly body leaped up suddenly, jumping straight onto the selected golden avenue.
The moment he entered the golden avenue, his whole body turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Zhuang Bi pressed the jade eyeball to his own forehead, quickly locked onto a golden avenue, then leaped into the avenue and disappeared.
Xu Jianxing took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow toward the sky.
The sharp arrow flew and spun in the air, then automatically adjusted its direction and flew toward one of the golden avenues.
Xu Jianxing did not hesitate either; he leaped up directly and followed the arrow into the golden avenue.
Everyone displayed their own unique skills, using different methods to find a golden avenue suitable for themselves.
But most people just chose one at random.
These people were either confident in their own strength or didn't know which one to pick, so they just chose one arbitrarily.
The people on the central plaza left one after another, and there were fewer and fewer of them.
Lin Moyu was not in a hurry. The mission did not have a time requirement, so there was no difference between leaving early or leaving late.
Lin Moyu said, "Sister, are you planning to choose one at random?"
Lin Mohan said, "Do you think your older sister is that brain-dead?"
Lin Moyu was speechless. Lin Mohan was obviously saying this on purpose, subtly scolding him.
Because he himself had been planning to just choose one at random.
Lin Mohan's beautiful eyes closed slightly, and she tilted her head to look at the sky, revealing her long, fair neck, like a proud and beautiful white swan.
A small sword appeared between her brows. The small sword flew out from between her brows, circled in the air a few times, and then quickly locked onto a passage.
Lin Mohan had made her choice and warned, "Lin Moyu, you must be careful."
Lin Moyu nodded. "You be careful too, sister."
Lin Mohan tapped her jade feet on the ground, and her whole body soared into the air like a fairy, landing on the chosen golden avenue with an extremely graceful posture.
Watching Lin Mohan leave, Lin Moyu said calmly, "It seems I cannot just choose at random, or I really would be brain-dead."
Lin Moyu had originally wanted to just pick one at random; for him, it didn't really make much difference which one he chose.
But after what Lin Mohan said, if he chose randomly again, he would truly be brain-dead.
He naturally had his own methods, and they were more direct and effective than others.
He pointed his finger toward the sky.
Stellar-level Technique: Undead Gaze!
The Undying Flame burned fiercely, and an Eye of the Undead, ten thousand meters in size, appeared in the sky.
Chapter 1493: Since I Want First Place, I'll Do Something Big
Lin Moyu controlled the power of the technique; otherwise, he could have summoned an Eye of the Undead that was ten million meters in size.
Now was not the time to face an enemy, so there was no need to do that.
An Eye of the Undead that was ten thousand meters in size was already large enough.
Using the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu connected to Undead Vision and scanned the surroundings.
Looking into the distance from the sky, he saw countless Soul Fires.
In some directions, the number of Soul Fires was smaller, while in other directions, there were more.
One Soul Fire represented one giant beast; the more Soul Fires there were, the more giant beasts there were.
After the Eye of the Undead scanned the area in a circle, Lin Moyu chose the direction with the most giant beasts and stepped into a golden avenue.
The golden avenue only gave a general direction; on the road ahead, the direction would inevitably change.
Among the hundreds of people choosing, there would inevitably be some with similar directions, and it was normal for them to cross paths later due to various reasons causing deviations in their directions.
Otherwise, the rules wouldn't have included a clause stating that if people met, they were not allowed to communicate and must separate within one minute.
The point was actually to make everyone rely on themselves, not allowing any help from external forces.
The golden avenue carried Lin Moyu away from Fire Seed Island and landed on a small island about one hundred kilometers away from Fire Seed Island.
Calling it a small island, it was actually just a reef, with a diameter of only about five meters.
Lin Moyu looked around. Hundreds of meters away, mountains stood tall.
The mountains were densely covered in forests, and beast roars could be heard constantly.
Looking further into the distance, there were countless mountains, and vaguely, there were some small islands.
The mountains were both obstacles and signposts; as long as one moved along the mountains, one would not get lost.
There were two choices before Lin Moyu: one was to move forward along the mountains.
