 Chapter 2063: Finding the Right Method

The ten Wood God Flowers merged into one, transforming into a brand new Wood God Flower.

Its size increased by about fifty percent, and the petals grew from three to six.

The color also became more crystalline and full of texture.

The six petals indicated that it had evolved from a low-tier Wood God Flower to a middle-tier Wood God Flower, with enhanced effects.

Lin Moyu increasingly felt that it resembled the spirit flowers on the World Tree.

The World Tree had countless spirit flowers, and a few of the faster-growing ones had already taken shape, looking very similar to the Wood God Flower.

After the Wood God Flowers merged, the fragrance became stronger, and a beam of light shot out from the flower.

A portal appeared in the sky, transparent and revealing another world.

Lin Moyu held the Wood God Flower and flew into the portal, crossing the difficulty level and entering the middle-tier difficulty.

Since the appearance of the Wood God Secret Realm, no one had ever accomplished the feat of crossing difficulty levels.

As one's cultivation realm increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to fight across levels.

Some God Sovereigns at the third tier find it challenging to challenge those at the fourth tier, let alone fight against those at the fifth tier.

Lin Moyu was an anomaly among anomalies.

When he obtained the tenth Wood God Flower, the strength of the rune beasts had already increased to the fifth tier of the God Sovereign level.

Moreover, the number of rune beasts in that area was extremely high, making it almost impossible for ordinary God Sovereigns to make any progress.

From this perspective, the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had very high requirements for his successor, and ordinary people simply did not meet his standards.

The scene before him changed, and the sound of rushing water entered his ears.

Lin Moyu saw a waterfall, over ten thousand meters high, very majestic, with turbulent water crashing down from the sky, creating countless waves.

Lin Moyu followed the water flow with his eyes. The water split into three branches not far away, flowing into different areas.

On both sides were high mountains, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, with no end in sight.

"This is a canyon!" Lin Moyu looked around and realized he was in a canyon.

The canyon was vast and densely forested.

A Skeleton General flew upwards but hit an invisible wall after a thousand meters, unable to continue flying. It had reached the top; the secret realm limited the flight height.

A thousand meters was not enough to fly above the canyon to survey the terrain.

Lin Moyu decided to use the old method, having the Skeleton Generals scout the way.

"I wonder if the method of using rune beasts to guide the way has changed!"

"Given the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord's style, the same method is unlikely to be used twice."

The Skeleton Generals soon encountered rune beasts. In the middle-tier difficulty, the weakest rune beasts were at the fourth tier of the God Sovereign level.

If there were enough of them, they could give God Sovereigns a headache.

But encountering Lin Moyu was their misfortune.

Under the swords of the Skeleton Generals, the rune beasts were killed one after another.

After death, the rune beasts instantly turned into runes and dissipated, leaving no corpses.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "I knew it would be like this."

As he had guessed, the previous method was no longer useful; he had to find another way to locate the Wood God Flower.

Other God Sovereigns relied on luck, but Lin Moyu did not want to do so.

He knew there must be a way to quickly pinpoint the location of the Wood God Flower, and he preferred to find the right method.

This process was also a test of his observational skills.

If he relied on luck and stumbled upon it, who knows what other tricks the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord might have up his sleeve.

Lin Moyu believed that since the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had set it up this way, there must be a reason.

The Skeleton Generals cleared the way ahead, and Lin Moyu followed the waterway, thinking about the solution.

He observed various things around him, such as grass, leaves, and the orientation of rocks, all within his scope of observation.

He couldn't find any common points from these things.

This time, the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had hidden the clues more deeply, making them harder to discover.

Soon, he reached the fork in the waterway, where it split into three, and the canyon also split into three.

Lin Moyu now had to choose one of the three paths.

The three canyons looked identical, with no differences.

Even with his Soul Eye activated, Lin Moyu couldn't find any differences.

With no clues, he finally chose the middle path.

The Skeleton Generals split into three groups, each entering one of the canyons.

There were many rune beasts in the canyon, and the Skeleton Generals killed their way through, quickly reaching the end.

Lin Moyu searched carefully along the way but found nothing.

In no time, he saw the exit and left the canyon.

As he exited the canyon, it disappeared behind him.

The sound of rushing water reached his ears again, and Lin Moyu found himself back at the waterfall, identical to the one he had seen before.

"I actually came back."

Lin Moyu realized he had returned to the starting point and had to start over.

This meant his previous choice was wrong, so he passed through the canyon and returned to the starting point.

"Let's try again!"

Even the number and location of the rune beasts hadn't changed; it was the same scene, the same taste, repeating the previous experience.

This time, Lin Moyu chose the leftmost canyon.

The situation in the canyon was the same as before, with no changes.

He quickly passed through the canyon but did not find the Wood God Flower.

For the third time, Lin Moyu appeared in front of the waterfall, feeling speechless.

"One more time!"

Lin Moyu was not one to give up easily and began his third journey through the canyon.

Again, the same locations and the same number of rune beasts appeared, were killed, and reappeared, only to be killed again.

He chose the rightmost canyon and passed through it for the third time.

In no time, Lin Moyu found himself back at the waterfall, still without finding the Wood God Flower.

Three attempts all ended in failure, returning him to the starting point each time. Lin Moyu did not move but instead reflected on what had happened.

Three attempts with no results meant he had chosen incorrectly each time.

Having chosen left, middle, and right, it meant that the correct path was different each time.

No matter how many times he passed through, the probability of choosing correctly was always one-third.

One-third is not a low probability. Lin Moyu felt that with his luck, if it were truly one-third, he could have guessed correctly.

Failing three times made Lin Moyu realize that besides luck, there might be other factors.

Perhaps the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had set up some conditions, and without meeting those conditions, any choice would be wrong.

The more Lin Moyu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Given the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord's quirky personality, such a setup was not impossible.

"The condition for the low-tier difficulty was to find the Wood God Flower based on the direction of the rune beast's corpse."

"The trigger condition should be killing the rune beast. This condition is almost non-existent, so it can be achieved by luck."

"The condition for the middle-tier difficulty is still unknown, but according to the Human Emperor Network's data, those who obtained the Wood God Flower spent a lot of time."

"Based on this reasoning, as long as I keep passing through the canyon, as long as the number of attempts is enough or the time is sufficient, I can also obtain the Wood God Flower."

"Time or the number of attempts should be one of the conditions."

Lin Moyu thought about it and felt it should be time.

His passing speed was fast, and the time it took for other God Sovereigns to pass through once was enough for him to pass through several times.

So the number of attempts could not be the condition, but time could be.

But time was not the correct condition. Lin Moyu felt he should find the correct method before the time condition was met.

He returned to the entrance of the canyon, looking at the three identical entrances, and fell into deep thought.

"The canyon and waterfall are new, but the dense forest was there before, so the condition should be related to them."

"Besides the canyon and waterfall, there is also the water, and..."
