Going to the second floor, that was for the next day.
As night approached, Li Shuang returned to the disciples' quarters.
This time.
Everyone once again pooled their information.
Clues were forming little by little, and a vague outline was beginning to emerge, but it wasn't clear yet.
At night.
Li Shuang once again led the group on a hunt.
This hunt was their last chance to earn points in this round.
However, if they continued with the previous distribution method, no one except Li Shuang would be able to reach 100 points.
Li Shuang thought for a moment and discussed it with the others.
"We don't know how many rounds this cycle will have. But it definitely won't let us cycle indefinitely; we must speed up!"
"In this round, can we consolidate the demon beast points and distribute them with some bias?"
Li Shuang actively suggested, "My points are already enough to go to the second floor, so tonight, I won't take any points from the demon beasts we hunt. All of them will be given to the elite disciples who have a chance to reach 100 points."
Everyone was slightly surprised.
"Sister Shuang, how can that be? In the dark, only you can defeat those demon beasts at the late Fusion stage. What would it count as if you gave them to us?" Cang Yin was the first to object.
Li Shuang shook her head and calmly said, "Langya Palace has three floors. The third floor reaches the sky, the second floor is the backbone, and the first floor connects the entire sect."
"All three floors are part of the Ascension Array."
"Before the final test comes, it's best if we have people on these three floors."
"After going to the second floor, I will focus on reaching the third floor. But we also need people on the first and second floors."
"So. Tonight, I want the remaining six elite disciples to all get their points to 100 first."
For ordinary disciples, there was an additional step to become an elite disciple, which meant they needed a full two hundred points to enter the first floor of Langya Palace.
Currently, besides Li Shuang, there were six other elite disciples. If they biased the point distribution, they could all reach 100 points.
Li Shuang had her own plan.
The points required to reach the second floor alone were a staggering one thousand points, which was already excessively terrifying.
To reach the third floor, the required points would likely be an astronomical figure.
It was possible that only she could attempt to reach the third floor.
As for the first floor, the goal was for everyone to enter.
For the second floor, elite disciples like Cang Yin still had some hope.
In Li Shuang's plan, these disciples needed to form a pyramid structure, like nails, driven into each layer of the Ascension Array.
One or two people couldn't change anything.
But if there were enough people, perhaps they could change something.
Li Shuang was the first to offer her points.
Everyone was silent for a while.
Suddenly.
An ordinary disciple said, "I don't think that's appropriate."
"It's not very appropriate."
"Indeed."
Li Shuang was slightly taken aback.
This was the first time so many people objected. Was she really being too presumptuous?
"Sister Shuang, actually, we've only been able to get so many points because of you."
"And now you're making this suggestion to help us complete the mission smoothly."
"Since that's the case, how can we let you be the only one to give up points?"
"In this round, the six elite disciples must enter the first floor of Langya Palace. As for the points, Sister Shuang, don't use yours, use mine. I won't take any points tonight; all of them will be concentrated on the elite disciples."
"Yes, I feel the same way. I can also contribute my points."
"Isn't this all to complete the mission?"
Li Shuang was stunned.
She hadn't expected such a result.
"Sister Shuang, aren't you still aiming for the third floor? Every single one of your points is important; don't give them up lightly. If we combine the points of all of us and give them to the six elite disciples, it should be enough."
"That's right, this suggestion works."
All twenty-five ordinary disciples were willing to give up their points tonight to prioritize the elite disciples.
Li Shuang was somewhat unaccustomed to this outcome, feeling a bit bewildered.
"Sister Shuang, don't worry about it. Langya Palace's secret realm has existed for so long; we also want to see how this secret realm can be fully unraveled!"
"This time, it's probably our only chance."
"If we can finally get through, the benefits we receive will definitely be greater than these few points."
Everyone chimed in.
The elite disciples exchanged glances.
Cang Yin said, "Sister Shuang, this also works. When the next cycle comes, we can also give up our points to prioritize helping the ordinary disciples earn points."
By concentrating and distributing points according to the group's interests, everyone could enter Langya Palace at the fastest possible speed.
"We're not in a hurry either. There are still many clues in the Scripture Repository that haven't been fully explored. It's not too late to enter Langya Palace after we've explored everything."
"Indeed, I found two fragments today. There should be more clues in the next cycle."
Somewhere unknowable.
Some beings were quietly watching these young disciples brave the trials.
A stunning woman had a cold expression, but a hint of anticipation glimmered in her eyes.
"Boss! Who would have thought that the foundation-building cultivator you chose thirteen years ago would actually grow to this extent!" A man exclaimed with emotion.
Centuries upon centuries.
They had watched many people pass through the trials.
Among them were many extraordinary and talented geniuses.
However.
No one could change the fate of Langya Palace.
Because the collective ascension of the entire sect was originally a group decision. No matter how powerful an individual was, how could they defy the general trend?
Among the batches of people who had challenged the trials, only Li Shuang possessed not only extraordinary individual strength but also the ability to unite everyone.
The stunning woman slowly said, "Treating others with sincerity is the way to gain true trust. Li Shuang... is a natural leader."
Like this time, if Li Shuang hadn't first thought of giving up her points.
These ordinary disciples might not have made such a decision.
This was probably the true mark of a leader.
Could it be...
This group of people could actually change destiny and make the entire secret realm completely disappear?
The stunning woman was somewhat hopeful but dared not hold too much expectation.
She lowered her gaze, concealing the fluctuations in her eyes.
Fifty thousand years.
They had also been punished for a full fifty thousand years.
What an incredibly long time.
What an enormous amount of resentment.
If not for the rules of the Heavenly Dao suppressing them, the true spirits of the entire Langya Sect would probably instantly transform into vengeful ghosts.
These people.
Some deserved to have their souls scattered.
Others... deserved release.
The woman recalled Lin An's cold face and softly sighed.
All the other true spirits had lost their minds.
Only Lin An had clearly waited for fifty thousand years.
She hoped Li Shuang...
Could bring him true release.
