Chapter 1665 A Way to Enter the Depths
In a cultivator’s abode of the headquarters of the Holy Thunder Sect at the edge of the Seventh Mountain, the aura of a figure rose steadily.
Hiss!
He suddenly opened his eyes in shock.
“Exactly what sort of ability is that?
“Can lightning control reach that level?
“Zhang Hanyang can’t be spared.”
With resentment in his eyes, he said, “They should all be killed.”
Swoosh!
He immediately rose to his feet and headed toward the main all of the Holy Thunder Sect.
…
“It’s, it’s over?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven and the others had puzzled looks on their faces.
“They are all dead.” Immortal Master Wuluo was questioning everything he had learned. “Oh my god, Second Elder, how, how could you be so fierce? Doesn’t that mean that you can kill all of us on your own?”
“What…”
With the words of Immortal Master Wuluo, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Immortal Master Waterheaven asked softly, “Are you at the Peak Stage of the Tribulation Stage?”
From the looks of it, he was going to acknowledge Zhang Han as his leader.
“I can reach that phase here.”
Zhang Han shook his head and said calmly, “In the Thunder Stream Domain, the combat capability of those from the thunder sects can be increased by 30 to 40 percent. I’m probably dozens of times stronger than them.”
“Dozens of times?” Immortal Master Waterheaven touched his forehead.
Everyone was really a little scared.
At this time, Zhang Han frowned slightly and sensed some movements in the distance.
“Let’s go. A great terror is coming.”
Sizzle!
Before he had time to say anything more, Zhang Han waved his right hand and dissipated the Thunder Spirit Domain. Streaks of lightning surrounded the team. They quickly went down, stuck to the swamp, and shuttled forward.
Just three minutes after they went out, they could see a black fog in the distance. It kept blowing at the place where they had just been. It was like a tornado. Even from a distance, they could feel how terrifying it was.
In just a dozen seconds, the thunder stream that had just been destroyed was regathered by the black tornado.
“What’s that?” Yue Wuwei asked in a low voice. He was worried that his words would attract attention.
“Unknown terror.”
Zhang Han said, “I don’t know what’s inside, but it’s definitely not easy to deal with.”
“By the way.”
Immortal Master Wuluo sighed deeply. “Alas, according to what Immortal Master Sanlei said just now, we… still have to be prepared.”
“It’s actually a duplication that came to the secret realm, isn’t it?” Immortal Master Waterheaven frowned deeply. “If it is, will the Holy Thunder Sect really attack the Highest Clouds Palace?”
“Small trouble can always turn into a big one.” Immortal Master Wuluo said, “Even if the Holy Thunder Sect doesn’t take action, it won’t be easy for us if Immortal Master Sanlei brings people here. If a fight breaks out, as a super sect, the Holy Thunder Sect will show no mercy to the Highest Clouds Palace. Maybe they will still take action.”
His tone was full of worry about the future.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Zhang Han said in a deep voice, “When Lil Beast breaks through here, we will be safe and sound after we go out.”
“Lil Beast will be at the eighth tier after its breakthrough. Will we be able to deal with them?” Immortal Master Waterheaven asked uncertainly.
“Yes.”
Zhang Han gave a positive answer.
He was now at the Peak Stage of the seventh tier.
If he broke through to the eighth tier, he would be able to defeat Immortal Master Lingxi, who was comparable to a Grand Master of the Holy Land. He would be in the upper reaches among those at the Peak Stage of the Tribulation Stage.
As for the Sect Masters of the Holy Thunder Sect and the other super sects, most of them were at the lower level of the Peak-Stage Tribulation Stage. Zhang Han was powerful and still had strong confidence, which came from his trump cards.
“It will be great if they come here. It will be a good chance to test the power of the Extreme Purity Immortal Body.”
Zhang Han made up his mind.
After that, the group didn’t stay here any longer and continued moving forward swiftly.
They also had a certain idea about how to deal with Immortal Master Sanlei.
When they left the secret realm, they would go directly to inquire about the news and send people to negotiate with the Holy Thunder Sect. Immortal Master Sanlei tried to harm them. They would ask for an explanation and turn the passive position into the active one.
To Immortal Master Waterheaven, the most important thing right now was to search for rare metals.
“This secret realm is so large that there are Profound-grade treasures in the peripheral areas. There must be more Profound-grade treasures in it, and there may also be a lot of rare metals.”
“Our primary goal is metal. Letting Lil Beast break through is the only way to resolve the crisis.”
Zhang Han was so powerful that they were shocked.
But after understanding what was going on, these people’s thoughts were all about the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
“Cross the river!”
After they left the Thunder Stream Domain, in front of them was another brand new area.
There was a crisis, but Zhang Han could sense it in advance every time and escape with the others.
The outer regions made people feel mentally and physically exhausted.
“Why is this secret realm so big?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven was secretly puzzled.
But this seemed to be just the beginning.
They reached the seventh zone, the eighth zone, the ninth zone, and more.
They didn’t expect that they had to go through 31 zones.
Later, some people on the team were injured.
Fortunately, they did not die.
“The aura has changed.”
“We seem to have gone to the outer area.”
“But what’s going on up ahead?”
Immortal Master Wuluo and the others looked at the scene in front of them, lost in thought.
The area ahead was filled with fog, which was similar to the land of snow they encountered when they first entered the secret realm. Their divine senses could not detect far away, so their vision was not high.
The mountain range had also changed. The rivers below were extending in all directions, and in front of them were huge square stones. The area of the mountain range was replaced by these regular square rocks. They were neatly arranged as if they were deliberately set.
The great river below, which was full of ghosts, extended into the fog. The crowd felt that everything under the boulders was water.
“The aura is indeed different.”
Zhang Han sensed it carefully.
“Let’s cross the river first.”
This time, he did not take out the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
After crossing the river dozens of times, they were familiar with the attacking methods of the ghosts and knew how to defend themselves.
After crossing the river steadily, they stepped on the first stone platform.
“Everything is normal. There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual,” Immortal Master Wuluo said in an uncertain tone. “Second Elder, can you feel anything?”
“I can’t feel anything.” Zhang Han shook his head. “The energy around is denser, and I can feel more rules of the Great Domain.”
“It’s a place full of the rules of the Great Domain.” Immortal Master Waterheaven took a deep breath and said, “This kind of place is unusual and even terrifying. The rules of the Great Domain are the Laws of the world, which can’t be violated. If we are careless, we will die. People who come in may know that this secret realm has been underestimated by the world. When the news spreads out, I’m afraid that many high-position officials and even some Grand Masters of the Holy Lands will come in person.”
“Let’s take a look while we walk.”
Zhang Han said, “We didn’t meet anyone along the way, which indirectly shows that it’s easier to go through this area.”
There were so many teams entering the secret realm. At first, Zhang Han and the others could occasionally meet a few, but later, they couldn’t meet a single team. Obviously, they were very fast, and so were the others.
It was like the highway with very few cars. It was rare to see cars on the road, but when they stood still in one place, they could see a car every once in a while. The teams in the secret realm kept moving forward like cars on the highway, heading for the depths of the secret realm.
“Let’s go!”
The crowd flew dozens of meters above the stone platforms.
Gradually, they found the problem.
“The rules of the Great Domain in the sky are getting more and more serious, and flying is getting more and more difficult.”
“If this continues, it won’t be long before we’ll only be able to walk on those stone platforms. We won’t even be able to fly.”
“Is it a No-fly Zone?”
“Fortunately, each stone platform is only a dozen meters away, and we can easily jump over it.”
“Have you discovered it?” Immortal Master Waterheaven’s expression changed.
“What do you mean?” Immortal Master Wuluo asked.
“According to the arrangement of the stone platforms, the distance between each stone platform is getting closer and closer as we move forward,” Immortal Master Waterheaven said. “According to my observation, after flying for half an hour, the distance between the stone platforms has been shortened by half a centimeter.”
Yue Wuwei stroked his beard and said, “Palace Master, your observation is very meticulous.”
“In such a secret realm, I naturally have to be cautious.” Immortal Master Waterheaven smiled and looked at Zhang Han. It seemed that he was a little happy, and his expression was saying, “How about that? You didn’t notice, did you?”
“It’s a good habit to observe carefully.”
Zhang Han nodded and said, “Let’s go to the stone platforms. The pressure of flying is getting stronger.”
“Okay.”
So they stepped on the stone platforms, which looked like ordinary stones.
They moved quickly on the stones, jumping every moment as if they were doing parkour.
They kept advancing like that.
The distance between the stone platforms was shortening.
Gradually, the area of the stone platforms began to grow.
At first, it was a stone platform with a length of 100 meters. As they went deeper, it became 200 meters, 300 meters, 1,000 meters, 10,000 meters, and more. The number was still increasing.
Soon, ten days had passed.
The fog around them also became thinner.
The sun hung high in the blue sky.
They could see very far away.
The current stone platform was as large and heavy as the continent.
“There’s a crowd ahead.”
“It seems that there are a lot of people.”
“What are the Dao Seeking Cultivators in a long line looking at?”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They sped up a little.
When they arrived nearby, they began to observe.
“They are not from the same force.”
“Let’s take a look at the periphery first.”
There were about seven or eight rows of people standing in front of them. It was very crowded.
This was the real No-fly Zone. The Laws of the sky were everywhere. Even those at the ninth tier of the Tribulation Stage could not fly more than five meters high.
The view in front of them was blocked.
The troop of the Highest Clouds Palace headed to the side. A few people turned around and glanced at them. They knew some of the forces present, but there were no acquaintances.
After walking for five hours, they finally found a place with fewer people.
“Is that Immortal Master Orna?”
Immortal Master Wuluo’s eyes lit up, and he explained via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Immortal Master Orna was also a member of a first-rate force, similar to the Highest Clouds Palace. Since Immortal Master Wuluo knew him, he could ask him and get to know about the situation.
Zhang Han and the others walked over.
“Immortal Master Orna, it’s been a long while.” Immortal Master Wuluo greeted him.
“Oh? Wuluo?”
The Dao Seeking Cultivator with the appearance of a middle-aged man turned his head and said with a smile, “You are also here.”
“Well, what are you doing here?” Immortal Master Wuluo asked.
“We’re waiting for the sky bridge.”
Immortal Master Orna said, “Do you see the line on the edge?”
He was pointing at a black straight line at the edge of the stone platform, about one meter away from the platform.
“This line is called the Line of the Law. When you walk over, you can see the real scene in front of you. Inside the line, you can only see the blue sky and white clouds,” Immortal Master Orna said.
“Really?”
Immortal Master Wuluo pondered for a moment and looked to the side. He felt that there would be a place close to the edge after a few kilometers.
Seeing this, Immortal Master Orna instructed some of the elders of his sect, “Guys, make way for them.”
He had to show respect to Immortal Master Wuluo.
Zhang Han and the others walked over. When they crossed the black silken thread, the scene in front of them changed.
Without the stone platform, it was like a cliff. The bottom couldn’t be seen, and there was a layer of white clouds surging. In front of them, there were dense sky bridges. When Dao Seeking Cultivators stepped on each bridge, the bridge and the stone platform were cut off and extended forward.
At the same time, many people flew back from the front of the stone platform.
After observing for a while, the crowd reatreated.
Immortal Master Orna said, “You came from that place. That side is occupied by super sects or Holy Lands, because the sky bridges over there appear fast, and the ones on this side appear slowly. We have to enter the depths of the secret realm through the sky bridges. One bridge can accommodate no more than 100 people at a time. Dao Seeking Cultivators will become ordinary people on it. It’s like a running game. The bridges are broken. Some of the faults are two meters, five meters, ten meters long, and even tens of meters long. Some bridges are completely broken. We can’t jump over it in this case. When we fall into the air, our energy will be restored, and we can fly back. This is the rule of the Great Domain. There is no crisis. Whether we can cross the bridges or not depends on luck.”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Han’s expression changed slightly.
They finally understood what they had just seen.
Those who flew back from the front were the Dao Seeking Cultivators who fell from the sky bridges or didn’t jump over the overpass.
Standing on the bridge, one was an ordinary person. This was the rule of the Great Domain. It could make anyone a mortal. This was the law of the Great Domain that existed in the entire Cultivation World. It was supreme.
“There are too many rules of the Great Domain here.”
“This sky bridge is also known as the Bridge of the Law.”
Immortal Master Orna sighed with emotion. “Whether one can go to the depths of the secret realm depends on luck. Only those who can cross the bridge are qualified to step on the land on the other side of the sky bridge.”
“Why do I feel that it’s like a game?” Chen Chuan muttered, “It’s like a track race.”
“Well, it is indeed like a track race.” Mengmeng blinked.
“If there are some Exotic Beasts or special magic weapons…” said Immortal Master Waterheaven.
“They won’t work. The Exotic Beast can only turn into a small figure and fall asleep on the sky bridge. All kinds of spirit treasures will be useless.” Immortal Master Orna shook his head and said, “We’ve been here for two months and seen countless people trying all kinds of methods. It’s useless. This is the Bridge of the Law. We can only jump over it with our own strength. Maybe this is also a game of jumping.”
“Have you tried it?” Immortal Master Wuluo asked.
“I’ve tried more than 300 times, but I fell.” Immortal Master Orna shook his head and said, “In the past two months, I’ve only seen two groups of people succeed. Both groups are made up of 100 people, and some of them haven’t passed the test yet. It’s said that those who have crossed the bridge have jumped over 30 meters. It’s a little terrifying that they have achieved that with mortal bodies. They want to say something on the other side of the fault when they look back. Unfortunately, the sound failed to reach here, and no one knows what happened. It’s difficult to cross the bridge unless you’re lucky and there are fewer faults, and then you can cross it.”
After that, Immortal Master Orna sighed softly. “Only those great figures know where the sky bridges would appear more frequently. Our success rate is much lower.”
“Thank you, Immortal Master Orna.” Immortal Master Wuluo cupped his hands and said goodbye. “We’ll go to the side and observe for a while.”
“Okay.”
Immortal Master Orna also cupped his hands and watched them leave.
One of his men said, “There are too few bridges in their direction. If they want to find a good place, they can only line up. Looking at the number of people lining up, I don’t think there is much chance.”
“They got here too late.” Immortal Master Orna shook his head.
In this secret realm, of course, every force only cared about themselves. It was impossible for them to give up their positions unless they were beaten into submission.
The Highest Clouds Palace’s group walked to the side and finally found a spot.
After crossing the black silk thread, they stood on the edge of the platform and observed for two hours.
“The place where we came from just now was indeed the place where the sky bridge appears most frequently.”
“There are a lot of people going back and forth. They keep flying back, and no one succeeds.”
“When the sky bridge appears, are we going to start running by stepping on it?”
“It seems that they are running very hard.”
“…”
They kept observing the situation and learned more about it.
The sky bridge was indeed the Bridge of the Law. After it appeared, the connection between the bridge and the stone platform disappeared.
“It’s so pitiful here. The sky bridge doesn’t appear here.”
Mengmeng pouted and sounded a little dissatisfied.
“It’s been so long, but one hasn’t appeared.”
“If we walk to the right and walk a bit further, will we be able to reach a place where there are many sky bridges?” Immortal Master Waterheaven suddenly asked.
