The engraving of Divine Sense is not an easy task.
In three days, how much can be engraved depends not only on memory and speed but also on the remaining Divine Sense.
On the Dao Platform, nearly five hundred people remaining are all extraordinarily silent at this moment, seizing every moment to record in the Jade Scrolls in their hands. Snowflakes drift around as the wind sweeps over the snow peaks.
Si Mo stands on the snow peak, looking into the Dao Platform along with others, at those cross-legged figures. Actually, in his eyes, there’s only Mu Qingge; the others are no different from the surrounding snow mountains.
Here, aside from his beloved Qingge, the only other person worth an extra glance might be the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan sitting on the Ice Lotus.
The Divine Emperor Zhong Shan remains idly seated on the Ice Lotus, not changing his posture even after ten days. His eyes are half-closed, and the faint curve of a smile at the corner of his lips makes people dare not look directly, yet can’t help but sneak a peek.
Poof!
On the Dao Platform, a disciple of the Zhuoyu Domain spews blood from his mouth, spilling it onto the Dao Platform and collapsing directly to the ground. The Jade Scroll he held also shatters instantly, turning dull and lifeless.
"Another disciple with exhausted Divine Sense."
As the steward from Zhong Shan Domain goes up to carry him down, those watching on the snow peak whisper among themselves.
"It’s no wonder these disciples can’t hold on. If we were up there, it would be tough as well. This test of Divine Sense is not easy."
"Indeed! Though it looks like they’re just sitting here without moving, this period is extremely unbearable."
Poof, poof!
The Zhuoyu Domain disciple hasn’t even been taken down yet, and two more have collapsed on the Dao Platform.
This time, the ones who fell are disciples from the Wei Yi Domain and Huan Yue Domain.
Mu Qingge casually glances at the Huan Yue Domain disciple being carried away next to her, her clear eyes dimming slightly. She is perhaps the most at ease among them.
Even now, she doesn’t feel any fatigue. The Jade Scroll in her hand keeps flashing, indicating that while she pays attention to her surroundings, she continues engraving content into the Jade Scroll.
Time passes slowly, and more disciples continually collapse and are carried away from the Dao Platform.
After two and a half days, only a little over three hundred people remain on the Dao Platform.
Mu Qingge has long recorded all five thousand Daoist Collections in her Jade Scroll. Out of boredom, she even checked them over once more, confirming there were no errors before stop engraving while holding her Jade Scroll.
She does not rush to jump up and claim she’s done. Instead, she continues to sit in place, watching the others.
Around her are Zhuang Shan, Li Chao, and others, the ten most distinguished of the Huan Yue Domain. Besides her, the others are still fully focused on engraving the Jade Scrolls.
Though their expressions are a bit solemn, they seem fine, showing no sign of faltering.
Looking at the others...
"Hmm?"
Mu Qingge’s gaze suddenly sharpens, falling on the direction of the Zhuoyu Domain disciples.
Those Zhuoyu Domain disciples are sitting together, which wouldn’t be noticeable, but now they are making small, secretive moves.
Mu Qingge narrows her eyes and stares steadily in that direction.
She clearly sees those guys from the Zhuoyu Domain secretly passing Jade Scrolls among themselves, seemingly cheating collectively!
However, their actions are very discreet and well-coordinated. Except for their hand movements, nothing appears unusual on the surface. The Jade Scrolls are circulated among the ten central disciples, who take them and continue engraving, then pass them back.
Mu Qingge realizes immediately, understanding the purpose of the Zhuoyu Domain’s actions.
Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingge’s eyes lower, and her pupils shift in their sockets.
The Zhuoyu Domain’s goal is straightforward: to secure their disciples’ passage through this stage as much as possible. But this isn’t just about helping out of camaraderie.
If the majority of Zhuoyu Domain’s disciples occupy the spots, it would inevitably eliminate disciples from other domains.
The second round is combat. Though Mu Qingge doesn’t yet know the specific rules, she can guess that the more people there are, the more of the hundred bathing in Dao Light slots they can take.
Understanding Zhuoyu Domain’s intentions, Mu Qingge contemplates.
Should she also use the same method to ensure the Huan Yue Domain disciples pass through?
Just as she hesitates, her inadvertently raised eyes sweep toward the figure on the Ice Lotus in mid-air.
Her diverted gaze instantly returns to the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan.
From her angle, she seems to see a touch of sarcasm added to the faint curve of his lips. His half-squinted eyes are directed toward the Zhuoyu Domain’s position.
Mu Qingge’s eyes tighten, and she quickly withdraws her gaze.
And just as she retracts her gaze, the cold gaze of the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan sweeps toward her direction, unintentionally or otherwise brushing over her.
With that glance, Mu Qingge immediately feels pressured. When that gaze passes by, her back is already soaked.
’The aura of the Divine Emperor...’ Mu Qingge is secretly astonished in her heart.
At this moment, she is still far from the Divine Emperor’s strength.
Mu Qingge slowly presses her lips together, falling into silence.
At this moment, she doesn’t know that Si Mo, on the snow peak, has noticed the scene. His disguised amber eyes flash with a trace of coldness, sweeping toward the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan.
Can anyone arbitrarily warn his Qingge?
"Hmm?" The Divine Emperor Zhong Shan’s eyes narrow, and a sound of surprise escapes his nose.
For the first time in twelve days, he changes his posture, sitting up straight from within the Ice Lotus. His robe gently drapes over his raised knee.
This movement isn’t particularly large, but for someone who hasn’t moved even slightly for over ten days, it’s quite noticeable.
This movement immediately catches the attention of those on the snow peak.
But the disciples struggling on the Dao Platform, grasping the last of their time, do not notice.
Only on the Zhuoyu Domain side does someone make a hand gesture warning, momentarily halting the cheating behavior.
Divine Emperor Zhong Shan’s ice-blue eyes sweep across the snow peak but find nothing. The powerful aura he just sensed does not reappear.
A hint of doubt flashes within his eyes before they settle and lower again.
