825: 238_3 825: 238_3 However, although injured, her physical condition was significantly improving.
Although this improvement did not repair her body, her cultivation base and overall strength were indeed increasing.
For example, someone with only two Immortal Bridges might almost not endure the same injury and could even fall into a coma.
But, for someone at the Grand Completion of Immortal Bridge, the injury would seem much lighter.
If it were someone at the Core Formation Stage, the injury might not even matter at all.
So, as her strength slowly recovered and her cultivation base also began to recover, she gradually became unable to accurately determine whether the path ahead was leading downwards or upwards.
She could only stop in her tracks and say to Cao Zhen, “Come, attack me, this time with the power of eight Immortal Bridges.”
Cao Zhen, who had never been asked such a thing before, especially by a woman, immediately struck Li Ke.
After Li Ke was injured, she discerned the path again and led everyone forward.
About half an hour later, Li Ke’s voice rose again, “Come, attack me, with the power of two at Core Formation.”
“Attack me…
with the power of five at Core Formation.”
“Attack me…”
Along the way, Li Ke continuously asked Cao Zhen to attack her.
After suffering the beatings, it was still Li Ke who led everyone forward, muttering irritably as they walked, “This time I took a big loss, letting you continuously attack me.
I’m telling you, once we get there, I am definitely taking the biggest share.”
“Okay, no problem.”
“I agree!”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Without Li Ke, they probably would not have even been able to leave this place, let alone possibly reach the core of this tower and then take the treasure.
Li Ke still had to keep letting people attack her, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with her taking the biggest share for these efforts.
“Sixty percent,” Li Ke stretched out her hand, making a gesture like a bull’s horn, “I take sixty percent, and each of you can only have ten percent.”
This place was so unique, and with such a palace, she did not believe they could reach the palace’s location in a while without finding treasure!
Cao Zhen did not know how long he had been following Li Ke, he had even forgotten how many times he had struck her.
As they continued on their way, a huge platform finally appeared before them!
It was the highest platform of the entire structure!
The platform was built on a platform as smooth as jade.
When Cao Zhen and the others climbed onto the platform and looked down, suddenly, countless steps came into their view.
“We have finally reached the mountain top!”
“Indeed, Li Ke’s method is flawless.”
“However, this platform is not the treasure vault, is it?
It looks like… a map!”
There was indeed a map in the middle of the platform.
Cao Zhen and the others did not move but looked towards Li Ke.
Li Ke nodded slightly and approached the map.
They had agreed earlier that she would take the largest share, and now on this huge platform, it seemed there was only this map, so naturally, it was hers to take.
Soon, the map was in Li Ke’s hands.
However, before she could even examine what the map was like, it suddenly flew up and landed on the[]platform, instantly merging completely with the platform.
The next moment, images began to emerge on the smooth, mirror-like platform.
Images of mountains and rivers appeared.
Cao Zhen looked at these images, and instantly felt he was no longer inside the ruins but had flown beyond Heaven, looking down upon endless landscapes.
He saw mountains, winding rivers, boundless deserts, and vast steppes…
He even felt he saw the Hundred Peaks Sect, places he had passed when he went to the Capital City, only these places had no buildings or cities, what he saw were majestic landscapes!
What he saw was not only the Town Immortal Dynasty, he also saw the South Ocean, the endless ocean, and even the Great Jin Dynasty he had visited with the Grand Preceptor…
He saw howling winds, drifting snow, and torrential rains…
This time he saw no human figures, and naturally, no masters either.
He did not know how much time had passed before he finally came to his senses.
And around him, the others were already looking at him, clearly having regained consciousness before him!
“Master, you have finally come around,” Ling Xi, seeing Cao Zhen awaken, immediately asked with concern, “Master, what did you see just now?”
“Mountains and rivers, endless domains,” Cao Zhen turned to Ling Xi and asked with curiosity, “Did you see something different?”
Ling Xi shook his head, “No difference.
Disciple also saw towering mountains and boundless oceans.”
“Exactly, we all saw the same thing,” Ling Hu Gudu, though curious why Cao Zhen took longer to awaken, did not ask more but said moodily, “This picture is clearly the same as the second one we received, not a map, but one of those five pictures.
Look, this picture has now also turned blank.
Last time with one of the pictures, we felt the confrontation of masters with the Heavenly Tribulation, and we all had epiphanies, but this time, watching those mountains and rivers, although stirring, did not help our cultivation.”
