The Road Palace, the seventh palace of the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces, had troubled humans for seven years. No one had been able to pass through the Road Palace until the Cardinal Sword Spirit appeared out of nowhere. The Road Palace was finally broken through.
In fact, the Palace of the Roads was probably the simplest of all the previous trials. Every participant that entered the Palace of the Roads would be assigned to a road that was about a kilometer long. The sword bearer only needed to clear the road, which meant sweeping the road.
There was no other trash on the road. There were only withered leaves.
This was a real fallen leaf, light as a feather. With a gentle sweep of the broom, it would be swept into the trash bin without any difficulty.
There was no time limit to the Malukong Palace test. As long as you were willing, you could spend a few years to complete the task in the Malukong Palace.
It seemed like the Malukong Palace test should be very easy to pass. However, up until now, only three people, including the Cardinal Sword Spirit, had passed the test.
Other than the Cardinal Sword Spirit, the other two were good friends of the Cardinal Sword Spirit. Clearly, they found a way to pass through the Maluo Palace after receiving the Cardinal Sword Spirit's hint.
In other words, until now, only the Cardinal Sword Spirit had actually found a way to pass through the Maluo Palace.
What was so difficult about the Malukong Palace?
It was actually able to block so many outstanding geniuses here, making them unable to advance even an inch.
Because the fallen leaves here could never be cleaned up. When the participants set foot on their own one-kilometer road, they would be surprised to find that the whole road was actually not dirty at all. On the contrary, it was very clean and tidy. There was only one fallen leaf on the ground on the whole road.
Of course, the contestants didn't believe that the road maze test would be as simple as cleaning up a fallen leaf. However, after they carefully searched the road several times, they helplessly discovered that there was only one leaf on the entire road.
"Could the Malukong Palace be a welfare checkpoint that Master Kenzu gave us to rest?"
When the participants threw the leaf into the trash bin that the Malukong Palace had given them, they realized that Kenzu was really a crazy person.
Because once the leaf left the road, two leaves would immediately float down from the ceiling of the road palace.
When the sword bearers threw two more leaves into the trash bin, four more would fall from the ceiling.
At this point, everyone should have understood what Kenzu was trying to do.
That's right, once the leaves in the Street Palace were cleared, there would be twice as many leaves falling from the ceiling.
In the beginning, it was still two leaves … four leaves … eight leaves … sixteen leaves … thirty-two leaves … In less than twenty leaves, the number of leaves falling from the sky would reach an extremely terrifying number.
There was once a very stubborn sword-bearer who thought that Kenzu might be testing the sword-bearer's patience in this stage.
That was why he used this seemingly endless amount of fallen leaves to make things difficult for himself.
In fact, these fallen leaves would not multiply infinitely. As long as he had perseverance, patience, and perseverance, he would be able to wait until the day when the clouds would disperse and the moon would appear.
If this sword-bearer kept on sweeping and sweeping … It was said that he had already swept the leaves 30 times after staying in the Malukong Palace for half a year.
The sword-bearer spent three months clearing 1,073,741,824 leaves; when the ceiling collapsed and 2,147,483,648 leaves fell; when the sword-bearer was buried by the leaves and spent a whole day struggling to climb out of the grave made of leaves; when the sword-bearer was completely buried by the leaves; when the sword-bearer was completely buried by the leaves; when the sword-bearer spent a whole day struggling to climb out of the grave made of leaves; when the sword-bearer was completely buried by the leaves; when the sword-bearer spent a whole day struggling to climb out of the grave made of leaves
The most patient sword-bearer in the world finally fell into a state of madness. After wailing at his own road for a whole day, he staggered out of the Malukong Palace. From then on, the sword-bearer never got within ten kilometers of Skyscraping Mountain.
However, it was later said that the sword-bearer became abnormally brave and fearless.
No matter what the battle was, he would charge into the frontlines and make great contributions to humanity. He became one of the heroes that would go down in history. This was something worth celebrating.
Later, the other sword-bearers tried many methods, but they could not solve the riddle of the Malukong Palace. It was not until the Cardinal Sword Spirit appeared that they found a way to pass the Malukong Palace.
However, the Cardinal Sword Spirit did not announce his method. Instead, he hid the answer. He only told the two sword-bearers who were close to him.
Therefore, how the Cardinal Sword Spirit managed to pass through the Maluo Palace was still an unsolved mystery.
Of course, Guhan did not know about this!
Guhan did not know anything about the internal tests of the Skyscraping Twelve Palaces. Guhan had to close his eyes to pass the previous tests. When he was at the Red Rabbit Palace and the Snake Lady Palace, he had to rely on Yan Hong's explanation to understand some of the details of the tests.
Now that Yan Hong was not with Guhan, Guhan became a newbie again. He could only rely on the simple instructions at the entrance of the Malukong Palace to complete the tests.
…
"Only one leaf?"
Guhan quickly realized that there was only one leaf in the middle of the one-kilometer-long road.
When the previous contestants saw this fallen leaf, they couldn't help but pick it up and put it in the garbage bin, thinking that protecting the environment and caring for hygiene was never wrong.
However, when Guhan saw this leaf, he keenly realized that something was wrong. As the seventh palace of the Skyscraping Twelve Palaces, the test of the Malukong Palace would not be as simple as just one leaf. There must be some kind of trap hidden in this leaf. Perhaps when he picked it up, two leaves would fall from the sky …
Guhan thought to himself. He did not know that he had already guessed the trick of the Malukong Palace.
"Yes!
What is the secret behind this? "
Guhan decided to put the leaf aside for now. He walked around the road a few times and found that there were no other dirty things on the road. Guhan did not even see a speck of dust on the ground. The road was so clean that the only dirty thing on the road was the leaf.
"Could it be that this test really requires me to clean this leaf?"
Gu Han returned to the side of the leaf and squatted down to carefully observe it.
In the end, he found that the leaf was only slightly larger than a lotus leaf. There was nothing special about it. It seemed like the Malukong Palace only needed Guhan to clean it!
"No!
It's not that simple. I must have missed something! "
…
"I wonder if he came out of the Lamia Palace!
Did he successfully pass the Lamia Palace? "
On the other side, Yan Hong was already standing at the exit of the Malukong Palace. She silently looked at the wall beside her and pondered.
There were a total of five roads in the Malukong Palace, and each road was separated by a wall.
So even though Guhan was on the road beside Yan Hong, Yan Hong did not know that Guhan had entered the Malukong Palace.
"Fine!
I've finally reached the eighth palace. Liu Qingmei, listen carefully. This is your real difficulty.
As long as you pass the eighth palace, you can fly as high as you want. You won't be bound by that damned thing anymore. "
Yan Hong looked at the faintly visible Hidden Ram Palace at the exit of the Malukong Palace. She took a firm step forward and strode out of the Malukong Palace.
Yan Hong had actually passed the test of the Malukong Palace.
…
"What's the problem?"
Guhan squatted on the ground and observed the leaf for a full ten minutes, but he still could not figure it out.
At this time, Guhan's rationality told Guhan that since there were no other abnormalities in the Malukong Palace, he might as well pick up the leaf and see what would happen.
In that case, he might as well pick up the leaf and see what kind of changes there would be. Maybe he could find a clue to pass through the road maze. This was much better than squatting here and wasting time.
This was indeed not a solution. This was the so-called throwing a brick to attract jade.
But the problem was that Guhan's subconscious was telling Guhan that this leaf must not be touched. Once he picked it up, everything would be over.
These two thoughts were fighting in Guhan's mind. Guhan could not make up his mind. Instead, his legs were a little numb from squatting for a long time.
Guhan stood up and prepared to move his legs. The moment Guhan stood up, a strong gust of wind was brought up by Guhan. The surrounding air was illuminated by the sunlight, like the morning stars.
Of course, Guhan knew that these specks of light were not stars, but a reflection of the sunlight caused by the dust on his body. Wait, this dust …
Guhan felt like a tendon in his brain had been cut by a pair of scissors. Thinking about everything he had observed before, Guhan's mind suddenly became clear. He finally understood what the mystery of the Malukong Palace was.
"Kenzu, Kenzu!
You really are scheming. I'm afraid you set up this test not to accept a disciple, but to refuse everyone in the world to be your disciple! "
Gu Han, who had figured everything out, could not help but say to himself with a wry smile, "It seems that in the Sword Master's heart, the dirty thing is not this road, but us!"
