Chapter 1186 The Real Test

Another half day passed.

Inside the huge palace, the sword-wielding little man was still dancing wildly, seemingly tireless.

At this time, Lu Yu no longer shuttled back and forth, but sat cross-legged in a corner of the palace.

Seeing that the mystery clones he had sent out had been defeated again, he raised his hand and swung a sword, and suddenly more than ten mystery clones were swung out and rushed into the chaotic battle in the palace.

With the continuous battles one after another, his mastery of the mystery clones has become more and more proficient. Now, he even has enough energy to sit beside and meditate while fighting, and no longer has to worry about the endless consumption of the sword-wielding little man.

Therefore, he also found that in order to continuously blow out the mystery clones, in addition to having a strong enough mind and consciousness, he must also master enough mystery essences. Only when the strength of the mystery essence is sufficient can he continuously stimulate one mystery clone after another.

Therefore, the process of fighting with these sword-wielding men is actually a process of him constantly stealing and learning from them.

Only by thoroughly understanding the essence of the mysteries hidden in these sword-wielding men can he evolve the corresponding mysteries and compete with them.

Lu Yu has already counted that there are a total of 3,752 sword-wielding men in this palace. Not every sword-wielding man is an independent mystery. Many sword-wielding men are different variants of the same mystery.

Therefore, if the number of mysteries is calculated, there are probably more than 400.

This is already an extremely astonishing number, far exceeding the total amount of books in the Dali Sword Sect's Sutra Tower. Even the stars in the night sky cannot be seen by the naked eye.

It seems that even in the long years of 3,000 years, this Yunxiao ancestor has not been idle at all and has not wasted any time.

If Lu Yu wants to solve the current crisis, he does not need to master all the more than 400 mysteries.

It was enough for him to master the part about the Dali Sword Sect, because the Li Tian Sword Canon was completely based on the Daoism inheritance of the Dali Sword Sect. As long as this part was complete, he could form a powerful combination of skills in a self-contained system.

Lu Yu knew that he could not chew too much.

If he could learn all the mysteries in this palace at once, it would be great, but he also knew the huge gap between him and the old man Yunxiao. It was impossible for him to master more than 400 mysteries at his current level.

Moreover, Li Fuyun only gave him three days, which was impossible in terms of time.

Until this moment, Lu Yu's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Li Fuyun had played a trick on him after all.

On the surface, he said that he wanted to stay in the palace to study Daoism, but in fact, the three days in the palace were the real core of this test. The trial of climbing the cloud ladder before was just an appetizer...

Only by passing this test successfully could he become a real closed disciple.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will probably become a useless chess piece in their hands...

This fact is indeed a huge gap between what he originally expected, but Lu Yuque is not discouraged.

He has long known that this world is not warm and silent. Now that he has confirmed the true attitude of Li Fuyun and Yunxiao Patriarch towards him, he is completely relieved and no longer needs to worry about it.

Twenty...

Twenty-one...

Twenty-two...

Lu Yu can drive more and more profound clones.

As the essence of the profoundness he mastered became more and more complex and powerful, he gradually developed the strange feeling that the profound laws were embedded in each other, like a steel ball falling into orbit.

It was as if he was holding a blueprint in his hand.

As long as he followed the instructions of this blueprint and found the various parts on it, he could finally complete a complete puzzle.

And that is the key to completing this test, the key to opening the door of this palace...

However, Lu Yu roughly estimated that in order to complete a powerful combination skill that can defeat these more than 3,000 sword-wielding men, at least 99 secret essences must be gathered. Now he is still far from this level.

Thirty-one...

Thirty-two...

Thirty-three...

The long and boring battle not only tests Lu Yu's endurance and perseverance, but also tests his eyesight and judgment.

Because of the more than 3,700 sword-wielding men in front of him, he not only has to fight with them all the time, but also has to accurately find the secret essence he needs among them, trying to decompose, master, absorb, and finally use it for himself.

Lu Yu forgot about the gains and losses, no longer considered the things behind, and gradually entered the state of forgetting both the self and the world.

As time went on, the number of secret essences he mastered continued to accumulate.

Finally, when he swung his sword again, ninety-nine secret clones appeared in the palace at the same time.

In an instant, the entire Floating Cloud Palace began to shake violently.
