Humanity’s Great Sage

Ning Gu said: "Fellow Taoist, please listen to what I have to say."

Lu Ye immediately looked like he was all ears.

"Actually, we have already discussed it before Fellow Daoist came over. I will stay on the bottom step, but Fellow Daoist or Junior Sister Shuang needs to stay on the next step, because apart from the two of you, , the cultivation of others is not enough, and staying hastily will only increase the risk. As for who will stay, you and Junior Sister Shuang need to draw lots separately. Fellow Taoist, maybe you understand?"

The Junior Sister Shuang he mentioned was his female cultivator companion, who was at the pinnacle of Fusion Dao cultivation just like him.

Lu Ye didn't expect Ning Gu to be so selfless. If he wanted to stay at the most stressful level, he would be giving up on the fight for the rare treasure. If that was the case, then he really couldn't say anything.

We are all trapped here. If we want to get out, of course we have to work together.

He and Junior Sister Na Shuang drew lots separately, and with a 50/50 probability, whoever had bad luck would stay at the next level.

"Understood." Lu Ye nodded, "But I still have a question, Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Gu was very patient and probably didn't want to be trapped here anymore. Now he finally waited for Lu Ye. If Lu Ye didn't cooperate, who knows when the next monk would come in and be trapped here. He is a curious guy...

"Fellow Taoist, are you sure that using this method, we can leave here?"

Ning Gu shook his head: "Everything is our guess. No one can guarantee whether we can leave if we open that door. But in the current situation, we can only take a gamble, right?"

If Ning Gu took over everything, Lu Ye might not believe it, but what he said was reasonable and Lu Ye didn't find anything suspicious.

"Then follow what fellow Taoist said."

Ning Gu smiled: "The two rounds of drawing lots depend on luck. Since Ning did not participate in the drawing, I will be the one to preside over it. However, fellow Taoist believer Ning can rest assured that Ning will not do anything. Everyone's wishes are the same now. We all want to leave here quickly." He turned around and looked at the many Rong Dao people trapped here: "If there is no problem, let's start now?"

"let's start."

"Senior Brother Laoning."

Everyone responded.

Ning Gu immediately took out two jade sticks from his storage ring, rubbed them lightly in his hands, and used the cover of his palms to cover the second half of the jade sticks, leaving only the same length exposed, and handed them to Lu In front of Junior Sister Ye Heshuang: "Those who sign short will stay on the next step. Who comes first?"

Lu Ye did his part: "I'll come first!"

Although under the public gaze, any fluctuations in Ning Gu's power could be clearly seen, and it was impossible to do anything, but everything had to be prepared just in case. If Junior Sister Shuang came first, there might be something that could be used.

Junior Sister Shuang didn’t fight for it either.

Lu Ye looked at the two jade sticks carefully. In this case, he couldn't use any force to spy secretly, so he could only watch with his naked eyes.

It turned out that there was no difference in the exposed parts of the two jade sticks.

In this case, it really just depends on luck.

He casually pulled one out and took a closer look. It was about the length of a finger.

Ning Gu showed another jade stick, but it was much shorter than his.

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his brows, he was lucky.

Ning Gu nodded: "Then Junior Sister Shuang will stay with me on the two stairs below. As for the rest of you, let's draw lots!"

He took out more jade sticks from his storage ring and used them.

All the Rongdao people stepped forward to choose.

After a round of drawings, and comparing them, the one who drew the longest lot was elated, because this meant that he was the last one to climb the ladder, and the rare treasure would also fall into his hands.

Lu Ye's luck was neither good nor bad. In terms of location, he should be on the eighth step from the bottom up. This location was very close to the end.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I have another question." Lu Ye looked at Ning Gu.

Ning Gu nodded: "Fellow Taoist, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"What if I am not at the ninth level of Fusion Dao, but only at the two or three levels of Fusion Dao?"

The basis for the first round of drawing is that he can withstand the pressure of the bottom two steps. If it is only two or three levels of fusion, it will definitely not work, and there will be no first round of drawing.

"If that's the case, then only Junior Sister Shuang and I can stay down there, but since fellow Taoist disciples are at the ninth level of Fusion Dao, of course we have to give Junior Sister Shuang a fair chance, right?" Ning Gu looked at him with a smile.

Lu Ye nodded: "Ning Daoist Gaoyi!"

Ning Gu said no more, but looked at Zhongrong and said: "If there are no other questions, then please take your seats, fellow Taoists!"

As he spoke, he took the lead to walk up the stairs and stood still!

Naturally, everyone had no objections. Lu Ye came in the last. Some of them had been trapped for a long time. Now that they finally had the chance to leave, they couldn't wait.

Following Ning Gu was Junior Sister Shuang. She walked up the next step and stood there expressionless.

Then the third, the fourth...

It wasn't until people were standing on the seven steps in front that Lu Ye took a step forward.

When passing by Ning Gu, he made a special observation and found that Ning Gu was indeed under tremendous pressure. However, for him, who was at the peak of Fusion Dao, although the pressure was not small, it was obviously still within the range of endurance.

The same was true for Junior Sister Shuang. Her expression, which had not changed at all, now seemed slightly stressed.

Soon Lu Ye passed the crowd and stood on the eighth step.

When he wanted to go up again, he couldn't.

The stairs above seemed to have an invisible barrier, blocking his way forward.

Not only that, standing on this staircase, he couldn't move. The whole person seemed to be stuck here, and even his strength was imprisoned in his body.

Lu Ye couldn't figure out why this trap had such characteristics. What was such a trap testing? Human nature?

As Lu Ye stood still, the ninth person moved.

Then came the tenth, the eleventh...

Until the last Rong Dao, everyone was looking at him. Whether he could leave here depended on this last fight.

This person was very lucky. Among the eleven people who drew lots, he could draw the longest lot and quickly climbed to the top of the stairs.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he raised his hand and scooped up the token in the hazy light ball, with a happy face.

"This fellow Taoist, open the door quickly!" A certain Rong Dao urged.

It would be fine if the strange treasure was taken, but if the door could not be opened and he could not escape, it would be a big loss.

Lu Ye suddenly found something surprising at this moment, because as the last person walked to the top of the stairs, the power that was imprisoned in his body regained its freedom and flowed again.

Not only that, he found that he could move.

But he could only walk back and forth on his own stairs, but could not take a step up...

Lu Ye did not try to go down, because according to the characteristics of this trap, if he really took a step down, perhaps everyone's previous efforts would fail, so it was better not to try.

After the top Rong Dao collected the strange treasure, he had already started to push the door. It looked very difficult, but the door was indeed opening slowly!

Everyone was overjoyed!

Suddenly, there was a movement from below.

Lu Ye looked down and saw that on the lowest step, Ning Gu's arm had been broken for some reason and fell to the ground, but strangely, there was no blood at all.

Lu Ye was startled and instinctively thought that Ning Gu had been attacked.

But he soon found something wrong, because the arm that was broken on the ground turned into another Ning Gu in a twist and turn!

As soon as this Ning Gu appeared, he quickly flew upwards at an incredible speed.

Clone? Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

The art of clone is not a very profound secret art. Many cultivators have practiced it, but there are many kinds of clones. There are many cultivators who have refined a part of their body into clones, such as Ning Gu.

Such clones can often exert at least 70% of the strength of the original body. If they practice to a high level, they can exert 90% of it.

This is a very powerful clone art.

The benefits are not small, but there are also disadvantages. That is, once the clone is destroyed, the original body will also be greatly implicated and its strength will be reduced.

Since they met, Ning Gu has been a fair, impartial and selfless example. Lu Ye didn't see anything wrong, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong. There are such cultivators in the cultivation world, but there are too few.

Moreover, if Ning Gu and others had forced Lu Ye to stay on the next level, Lu Ye would have no choice.

But he did not do so. Instead, he asked Lu Ye and Junior Sister Shuang to draw a lot separately.

And he himself took the initiative to stay at the bottom.

Now it seems that the so-called selflessness is just a disguise, because even if he stays at the bottom, he has his own backup!

This clone is his backup.

Who doesn't want a treasure? With his peak strength of Rong Dao, even if the clone can only exert 70% of its strength, without the help of Dao soldiers, it has 140 Dao powers.

This is definitely not something that ordinary Rong Dao can contend with.

He obviously had this plan long ago, so he started to act almost at the same time as the Rong Dao at the top pushed the door.

The clone crossed six or seven steps in an instant, so fast that most people did not react. Occasionally, one or two people reacted, but they frowned and hesitated, and did not dare to stop it.

Because even if they understood Ning Gu's intention at this moment, it would be bad to offend him rashly. Anyway, Ning Gu was going to deal with the top Rong Dao, and it had nothing to do with him, so of course he would stay out of it.

Ning Gu's clone quickly rushed to Lu Ye's position, and his face was full of vigilance.

He could ignore the others, because even with his clones, those Rong Dao were not his opponents. During this period of time, he had already figured out the cultivation strength of those Rong Dao.

Only Lu Ye... Rong Dao Nineth Layer, really was not something his clone could contend with.

But he was confident that if Lu Ye was a smart person, he would not stop him.

In fact, Lu Ye really had no intention of stopping him, and let his clone pass by him.
