 **Chapter 1492: Each Displaying Secret Techniques, the Golden Light Path**

The task required leaving the Ring Mountain Continent. Lin Moyu saw that there was actually not just one task, but two requirements.

Simply leaving the Ring Mountain Continent was not enough, one also needed to obtain enough points. 

If the points were not enough, the ranking would definitely be low, and at most one could avoid punishment but not receive any rewards.

If one wanted to get first place, then one had to find a way to obtain a large number of points.

The ways to obtain points were either by killing giant beasts or obtaining tokens.

Killing different levels of giant beasts would yield different point amounts.

Normal giant beast: 1 point

Elite giant beast: 10 points 

Boss giant beast: 1,000 points

Leader giant beast: 100,000 points

The giant beasts were divided into four levels. The weakest was worth 1 point, while the strongest was worth 100,000 points - a difference of 100,000 times.

Lin Moyu's expression looked strange as he continued to check the point values for the tokens. 

The tokens were also divided into four types: silver token, gold token, white jade token, and purple jade token.

The point values were the same division as the giant beasts, ranging from the silver "500" token worth 1 point, to the purple jade token worth 100,000 points - again a difference of 100,000 times!

In Lin Moyu's view, the two ways of obtaining points corresponded to combat power and attentiveness respectively. Some cultivators had great combat power but lacked attentiveness.

Some cultivators had relatively weak combat power but were very attentive, always able to discover small details.

No matter which type, both would be reflected in this task.

Having both was naturally the best, and the scores would likely be the highest.

Moreover, the point difference for the giant beasts was so huge, up to 100,000 times, which was to create a gap between the top geniuses and the ordinary geniuses.

The top geniuses might not even need to kill giant beasts along the way, as long as they could defeat the leader giant beast in the end to obtain a huge number of points.

While the ordinary geniuses, no matter how many giant beasts they killed along the way, the points might still not match the top geniuses' final battle.

Lin Mohan was also checking the task information. "Xiaoyu, don't you think this level division method is different from the great world, but rather similar to instances?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Indeed it's similar. Actually, when I was on the battlefield, I had this doubt several times."

Lin Mohan's eyes curved like willow leaves, "What are your thoughts, Xiaoyu?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "Based on the information we have now, I can only say that our small world was a bit special. But I can't analyze the deeper reasons."

Lin Mohan made an acknowledging sound, "My master also said our small world was different. I'll leave this matter to you, I'm too lazy to think about it."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Okay, I'll investigate it thoroughly. If there are any problems, sister can come and break them with a single sword."

Lin Mohan glared at him, "You've gotten cocky, daring to make fun of me."

Lin Moyu laughed mischievously but didn't continue the banter.

The two came to the central square, where almost all the seed contestants had already gathered, waiting for the task to officially begin.

The cultivators from the four major star domains basically gathered together.

The cultivators from the Divine City also gathered together, staying relatively close to those from the four major star domains.

The War God Hall maintained its unique arrogance, keeping its distance from the crowd.

At the other end, three people stood side by side.

One of them was Dongfang Ze, who had wanted to spar with Lin Moyu that day.

When Lin Moyu looked over, Dongfang Ze also happened to look over, and their gazes met in mid-air.

He smiled and nodded at Lin Moyu, who nodded back slightly.

Dongfang Ze had regained his composure, no longer as arrogant as that day. It was as if that day's events had never happened.

However, Dongfang Ze's innate arrogance still existed. He was a top genius in the Divine City, and even within the Divine City, his status was not low.

From the position he stood, it could be seen that he did not stand together with the other cultivators from the Divine City.

The ones standing side by side with Dongfang Ze were also two Little God Sovereigns from the Divine City.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "The hierarchy in the Divine City is quite strict."

Lin Mohan laughed lightly, "It's the same everywhere. Xiaoyu, don't tell me you haven't figured it out after all this time."

Lin Moyu chose not to respond, as his sister loved to tease him.

The central square gradually became quiet, and everyone had made their preparations.

The crowd had also adapted to the realm suppressed by the formation.

After all, the Four Star Domain Competition also required realm suppression, so they understood.

As the task approached, the atmosphere inevitably became tense.

Half an hour later, the formation suddenly shot out a cluster of golden light, which exploded in the air like fireworks, dyeing the entire island in a golden color.

It was as if a certain passage had been opened, and heart-pounding beast roars came from all directions.

Thousands of golden light paths formed in the sky above.

Everyone clearly understood that each person had to choose one of the golden light paths to leave the island.

The Ring Mountain Continent was a standard circle, and since Fire Seed Island was located at the center of the continent, no matter which direction one left from, the distance to exit the Ring Mountain Continent would be the same.

However, the same distance did not mean the same level of danger.

The number of giant beasts along the way, their strength levels, and even the number of tokens would not be uniform.

When choosing the golden light path, one was essentially gambling on luck.

Some people took out a set of copper coin-like magic treasures and began divination, while others used secret techniques, calculating with their fingers. 

Chu Xiong looked at Zhuang Bi, "Old Zhuang, let's see what you've got."

Zhuang Bi smiled slightly and took out a jade eyeball, pressing it against Chu Xiong's forehead.

Immediately, a third eye appeared on Chu Xiong's forehead.

Chu Xiong closed his eyes tightly, using this newly grown third eye to look towards the sky.

Soon, he locked onto one of the golden light paths.

With a swipe of his hand, he removed the third eye from his forehead and returned it to Zhuang Bi, saying in a low voice, "I'm going."

Zhuang Bi nodded, "Be careful."

"Don't worry!" Chu Xiong's burly body suddenly leapt up, directly jumping onto the golden light path he had chosen.

The moment he entered the golden light path, his entire body transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

Zhuang Bi pressed the jade eyeball against his own forehead and quickly locked onto another golden light path. Then he leapt into the path and vanished.

Xu Jianxing took out a bow and arrow, shooting an arrow into the sky.

The arrow spun in the air, then automatically adjusted its direction, flying towards one of the golden light paths.

Xu Jianxing didn't hesitate, directly leaping up and following the arrow into the golden light path.

Everyone displayed their secret techniques, using different methods to find a suitable golden light path for themselves.

But more people simply chose one at random.

These people either had confidence in their own strength or didn't know which one to choose, so they just picked one randomly.

One by one, people left the central square, and fewer and fewer remained.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry, as the task did not have a time requirement. Whether one left early or late made no difference.

Lin Moyu said, "Sister, are you going to choose randomly?"

Lin Mohan said, "Do you think your elder sister is that brainless?"

Lin Moyu was speechless. Lin Mohan was clearly saying this on purpose, indirectly calling him brainless.

Because he himself was planning to choose randomly.

Lin Mohan's beautiful eyes closed slightly, and she looked up at the sky, revealing her long, pure white neck, like a proud and beautiful white swan.

A small sword appeared between her brows, flying out and circling in the air a few times before quickly locking onto one path.

Lin Mohan had made her choice and instructed, "Xiaoyu, be careful."

Lin Moyu nodded, "You too, sister."

Lin Mohan's jade foot stamped on the ground, and her entire body floated up like a fairy, landing gracefully on the golden light path she had chosen.

Watching Lin Mohan leave, Lin Moyu said indifferently, "Looks like I can't choose randomly, or I'll really be brainless."

Lin Moyu was originally planning to choose randomly, as it didn't make much difference to him which path he took.

But after being called brainless by Lin Mohan, if he still chose randomly, he would truly be brainless.

He naturally had his own method, and it was more direct and effective than others.

He pointed his finger at the sky.

Eternal Star Spell: Undead Gaze!

Undying flames blazed, and a giant undead eye appeared in the sky, tens of thousands of meters in size.

Lin Moyu's consciousness merged with the undead eye, and he carefully observed the golden light paths.
