Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 168 - 164: Su Yuan: Captain Wang Is Incompetent—Looks Like I Must Step In!
"This isn’t right, it’s been so long, why hasn’t the speedrun team made any progress?"
Su Yuan looked perplexedly at a rescue team member waiting anxiously.
The team member, hearing this, patiently explained:
"Expert Xiaosu, most secret realms involving inheritance and trials have a time limit generally set to more than fifteen days or even a month."
"That’s also why the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm was initially expected to be developed for more than a month."
"But the inheritance trial of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation is different!"
"The stipulated trial time is much shorter than general inheritances, and because it’s a Demon Sect inheritance, the trial content is even more difficult."
"Forget about cracking it in twelve hours, even cracking it within twelve days would be considered fast."
After hearing this explanation, Su Yuan couldn’t help but glance at the Taibai Phecda at the Fourth Ring.
So it seems, this teacher of mine indeed has deep-seated demon roots.
If time weren’t a constraint, he might be able to clear these nine levels within five days.
But after such a calculation, Su Yuan was even more reluctant to partake in this inheritance trial.
Even though the system labeled him as a generation’s Demon Prodigy, with all its bugs, its judgment is not reliable.
He is inherently pure and kind, how could he compete in talent with the giant of the Demon Dao, Zhu Qingqing?
There’s no way to win that!
Time slipped by, and another four hours passed.
No miracle occurred, even the most experienced Captain Wang from the rescue team barely made it to the Seventh Ring.
Rather than relying on Captain Wang, it would be better to hope for the Taibai Phecda.
He had just passed another test and entered the third ring.
But there was not enough time left!
Only a little over an hour remained.
Both the rescue team members and the exploration team trapped in the inheritance trial for over forty-six hours were feeling a bit desperate.
"Captain Ye, there’s only a little over an hour left, is there really no quick way to pass?"
"If we keep waiting like this, the kill array in the Land of Inheritance will activate!"
A rescue team member spoke anxiously.
In these more than ten hours, Ye Muyu wasn’t just watching the scene unfold.
Her eyes continuously flickered with obscure glow, as if calculating something.
With her head as the center, waves of heat radiated out.
Clearly, her sea of knowledge had entered some kind of overdrive state.
Upon hearing the question, Ye Muyu ended her calculations, her tone still calm:
"In this kind of situation where conventional attempts can’t succeed, the best solution is to kill the array owner."
"But after calculating for so long, I found that the ancient cultivator Zhu Qingqing is very cautious, making the beheading plan nearly impossible."
"His real body is hiding within one ring of the Land of Inheritance, and there’s no direct loophole to enter the ring besides following the rules."
Someone cautiously asked:
"What if we launch a strong attack?"
"You and Master Taibai are both at the Golden Core Peak, not concerned about damaging the artifacts, directly attacking..."
"It’s not doable, at least not with both me and Senior Brother Taibai going all out to attack from inside and outside simultaneously,"
Ye Muyu shook her head:
"This array is well-maintained. Though not as strong as when it was first built, it is still of Nascent Soul Level."
"Only by having a Nascent Soul True Monarch personally arrive can the array be forcibly broken to rescue the people inside."
"But... time is too tight, the earliest likely arrival would be True Monarch Wang Lan, who is currently training on Iron Mountain Star."
"Even if he set off the moment he received the message, it would still take nine hours to arrive."
The rescue team members fell into silence together.
Nine hours!
Once a Nascent Soul True Monarch descends, everything will be resolved, and people like Captain Wang will certainly be safe.
But the exploration team members who first entered the inheritance trial are endangered.
Once this array activates in a little over an hour, killing the exploration team members, apart from Master Taibai who can resist, the others will have no escape!
A dozen or so lives, about to vanish before their eyes.
It weighed heavily on everyone’s heart at the scene.
But just then, Ye Muyu suddenly turned to look at Su Yuan and asked:
"Student Su Yuan, why haven’t you voiced your opinion?"
"If you have a method to crack the inheritance trial, please speak boldly, after all, you are the one among us who has researched the Demon Dao the most."
Chen Nuoyi also chimed in:
"That’s right, Su Yuan, you’ve always had the most ideas."
Su Yuan: "..."
Really now, Instructor Ye, with those bushy eyebrows and big eyes, how can you slander someone without batting an eye?
But facing the expectant and admiring gazes of Chen Nuoyi and the rescue team members, Su Yuan couldn’t refuse.
After seriously contemplating for a moment, he looked towards the puppet woman standing motionless at the array entrance and asked with a spiritual rune:
"May I ask, can you reveal the content of the first question of the inheritance trial?"
The puppet woman replied straightforwardly:
"The Observatory Master has instructed, I can directly tell you the contents of the first three questions."
"The first question is to learn the method of creating the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet."
"The second question is to learn the method of operating the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet."
"The third question is to learn the application method of the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet in the Charm Dao."
"At the same time, every step of learning and comprehension of the first three questions must be personally practiced by the person being tested."
Once this was said, the rescue team collectively gasped in shock.
"The Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet, does it refer to those human puppets we saw at the gatehouse?"
