Chapter 747: Chapter 748: Self-righteous

“How is it?” Lu Mingshu straightens up, staring intently at Huai Zhongke before her.

He shook his head: “That person only mentioned he was looking for teammates to venture into the Deserted Domain with. But that’s an old message, and he can’t be contacted anymore.”

“…” Lu Mingshu felt disappointed.

Huai Zhongke continued, “I’m a curious person. If I take an interest in something, I can hardly sit still without getting to the bottom of it. But this matter, I’ve yet to figure out even now. At our level of cultivation, especially within the Heavenly Wheel, we pay extra attention to our privacy, fearing that others might discern our past and plot against us. Therefore, everyone’s circle is quite small. I’ve inquired for so long, yet among those I know, not a single one has entered the Deserted Domain.”

As he spoke, he let out a self-deprecating laugh: “I’ve also opened the Deserted Domain quite early on, but I’ve never passed the challenge.”

Lu Mingshu hesitated slightly: “Could you please share what the challenge entails? If it’s inconvenient, then never mind.”

“It’s no secret, there’s no harm in talking about it.” Huai Zhongke readily replied, “I’ve exchanged information with quite a few people; the challenges upon opening the Deserted Domain fall into two categories: one is combat, and the other is intelligence. Combat is self-explanatory; you get pulled into an illusion, and breaking through it equals success. As for intelligence, there are many types, such as…”

Huai Zhongke listed a few examples and added, “If you fail, you can try again, but each subsequent entry changes the test, so there’s no way to prepare in advance.”

Lu Mingshu nodded: “Which type is more difficult?”

Huai Zhongke spread his hands: “For the test of combat, as you know, without reaching that Realm, passing is almost impossible. Many try to find shortcuts by opting for the intelligence test instead and end up faring even worse.”
