Ye Wushuang, however, paid no heed to the murmurs below. His hands began to pulse with spiritual patterns, as intricate lines of energy coalesced from his palms. He had been observing closely from below. When the seven individuals had reached the nine-hundred-paces mark, the light emitted from within the cliff was indeed formed from spiritual patterns. He had only caught a fleeting glimpse and was uncertain of the exact type of formation. But when the eight people were pulled into the jade wall just now, Ye Wushuang, being close by, had sensed it clearly—it was a **Great Soul-Testing Formation**, specifically a mental trial illusion array designed to test one’s resolve.

Fifteen Myriad Methods practitioners had been drawn into this formation to undergo their trials. Ye Wushuang had no intention of being pulled in. Not only would it waste time, but if his trial took longer than the others, the precious Sola Spirit Fruits would fall into someone else’s hands. That would be a colossal loss!

Ye Wushuang was determined to exploit a loophole. With his hands, he condensed the spiritual patterns, which soon gathered beneath his feet. Then, with a single step, he began to walk outwards at a ninety-degree angle to the cliff face. As his foot stepped out, the cliff’s surface predictably emitted beams of light, seemingly attempting to draw him in. But when those beams touched the spiritual patterns beneath Ye Wushuang’s feet, they gradually melted away and vanished. Ye Wushuang was not pulled in!

“What’s going on? Why wasn’t this guy pulled in?” someone below muttered in confusion.

“No idea…” another replied.

“That kid has an array pattern beneath his feet; he can resist the light’s force from within the cliff!” someone else realized.

Below, the Tian Gang practitioners stood agape. Fifteen Myriad Methods powerhouses had been pulled in, yet this young man at the peak of the Tian Gang realm had not.

Stabilizing himself, Ye Wushuang continued to step forward, gradually ascending: nine hundred and ten paces, nine hundred and fifty paces, nine hundred and seventy paces… His figure drew ever closer to the summit. Finally, with one last step, he landed securely atop the mountain. The Sola Spirit Trees there radiated a brilliant light, exuding an invigorating aura.

Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon the Sola Spirit Fruits. With a flick of his wrist, several slender purple wooden boxes appeared. These fruits must not be touched by bare hands. Opening the boxes, he revealed several silk handkerchiefs. Carefully, Ye Wushuang used the handkerchiefs to pick the fruits one by one, wrapping them in silk before placing them into the boxes. In total, he collected seventeen.

As Ye Wushuang harvested the fruits, the Tian Gang practitioners below grew increasingly envious and agitated, their breathing heavy. But they could only watch helplessly. The mountain had been split in two: one side was a smooth cliff, while the other was a steep slope. The slope was impossible to climb, as it exerted immense pressure. Even Wu Xiuran and the others had tried to ascend it earlier but couldn’t reach even a hundred paces. That was why they had attempted to climb the smooth cliff side.

“What are you all standing there for?” a middle-aged man at the ninth level of the Tian Gang realm suddenly spoke up. As he finished speaking, he had already positioned himself at the base of the cliff, gripping a broad blade and eyeing Ye Wushuang above menacingly. The others quickly understood and moved closer to the cliff, holding their spiritual weapons and waiting for Ye Wushuang to come down.

The young man had obtained the Sola Spirit Fruits; he couldn’t just hang there forever! If the fifteen Myriad Methods practitioners emerged from the formation, they would surely target him first. The boy would have to flee as soon as he got the fruits. Where could he run? Only down from above. With dozens of them guarding the spot, Ye Wushuang had nowhere to escape.

The leading man chuckled and said, “Kid, you do have some tricks up your sleeve, but these Sola Spirit Fruits are incredibly valuable. Give me three, and I’ll let you leave.”

Another voice rang out from the base of the mountain, “Give me two, and I won’t stop you!”

“Give me one, and I’ll be on my way. Whether you can escape is up to your fortune!” more voices chimed in.

Ye Wushuang looked down at the dozens of figures below, each holding a spiritual weapon and eyeing him hungrily. He couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

“You guys… are really something,” he said.

With that, Ye Wushuang’s figure darted forward, and he leaped off the other side of the mountain, disappearing from sight.

At that moment, everyone on the smooth cliff side stared at each other in disbelief. Had the kid run off to the other side? How could that be possible? The other slope had immense pressure and was impossible to climb. He hadn’t climbed up; he had gone down!

“Stop him!” someone shouted.

In an instant, figures rushed from the smooth cliff side to the steep slope side. But in the blink of an eye, Ye Wushuang was already gone.

And then, at that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the summit.

“Hahahahaha…” A loud, triumphant laugh echoed. Wu Xiuran couldn’t help but laugh heartily, “A mere Soul-Testing Formation can’t stop me, Wu Xiuran. It seems I’m the first one to break through the formation?”

Looking around the summit, Wu Xiuran felt incredibly elated. But the next moment, his eyes widened in shock, and he stood there, completely stunned.

“Where are the Sola Spirit Fruits?” he roared, his voice shaking the entire forest.
