The Cloud Ladder had neither pressure nor restrictions, yet it seemed to be trapped in a loop.
No matter how fast Chen Changan flew, he still kept flying along the Cloud Ladder, never seeing its end.
Chen Changan didn't believe the Cloud Ladder had been built so long. Someone had to have used some sort of trick on it to cause this.
"A trick that can trap me? Interesting."
"If it's just an ordinary illusion or formation, it shouldn't work."
Chen Changan was now rather curious. The Cloud Ladder could trap him, so it had to have something going for it.
Yet he couldn't sense any fluctuations in energy, which made the trick all the more impressive.
This time, Chen Changan gave up flying and stood on the Cloud Ladder, climbing it step by step.
But after walking for a while, Chen Changan suddenly furrowed his brow.
Something was wrong!
He'd... walked this stretch before!
"No way."
"Such a low-level trick?"
"They didn't use anything at all—they just used a visual illusion?"
Chen Changan had never imagined that the other party would use a visual illusion to turn the Cloud Ladder into a looping maze.
There were no landmarks around, and the Cloud Ladder looked straight to the eye. So when Chen Changan chose to fly, he simply kept moving forward along its course.
That meant his vision was constantly being thrown off. But once Chen Changan chose to climb, he discovered the problem with ease.
"Did they figure that anyone who made it here wouldn't bother climbing the ladder, and so set up such a simple visual illusion?"
This was the Eternal Land, where flying was utterly commonplace. Anyone who found the Cloud Ladder would choose to fly up it, not climb on foot.
