Hello, Open Up! Delivery!

(This chapter is an extra chapter for the guild leader [If There Is a Next Life]. The new backend update requires a standard 20-character title, which doesn't fit here.)

Two Divine Dragon arched together to form a portal, silently floating in the void. The Divine Dragon were lifelike, but their eyes were Blank and lifeless.

This was the first time Song Shuhang had witnessed such a technique, and he was completely captivated. Although he had always known that Venerable White was very strong, Venerable White rarely revealed his true abilities in front of him. Therefore, every time Venerable White showed even a glimpse of his power, Song Shuhang was always in a state of shock—this method of ascending step by step through the void, with all the materials behind him automatically transforming into two Divine Dragons, was simply too cool! If used to pick up girls, it would be a surefire way to succeed, right?

In the void, Venerable White extended his finger and gently touched the Double-Dragon Gate.

Faintly, Song Shuhang sensed the power of [Real Illusion] contained between Venerable White's fingers—the power of the illusion of the desert, the Young Man in Blue with a White Horse. However, Venerable White had condensed this power of [Real Illusion] between his fingers, keeping it dormant.

The Venerable White's finger landed on the doorway!

The next moment, the eyes of the two Divine Dragons on the gate brightened. The Venerable White's finger was like the Dragon-Pointing Finishing Touch. In an instant, the two Divine Dragon seemed to truly come to life!

At this moment, Yu Jiaojiao's body, which was over ten meters long, began to shrink, eventually shrinking to a length of just over two meters. This was her true size! To achieve the best effect when attempting to break through the 'Dragon Gate Empowerment', she had to reveal her true physical form.

"It's about to happen," Yu Jiaojiao murmured to herself.

At this moment, due to the influence of that 'Natal Essence Blood', Song Shuhang could faintly sense Yu Jiaojiao's nervous mood. He felt his heartbeat synchronize with Yu Jiaojiao's, beating tensely yet powerfully.

High in the sky, Venerable White spoke, "Shuhang, stand still and do not disturb Yu Jiaojiao's attempt to break through the Dragon Gate. You only need to stand still and carefully experience Yu Jiaojiao's sensations during Dragon Gate attempt through your 'Natal Essence Blood'."

"Yes, I understand." Song Shuhang nodded, secretly relieved that he and Yu Jiaojiao didn't have to attempt to break through the Dragon Gate together.

"Yu Jiaojiao, are you ready?" Venerable White said again, and as he spoke, he gently withdrew his fingers from the double gate.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure stream of spiritual energy shot out from the Double-Dragon Gate. Although it was just a thin stream of spiritual energy, it instantly transformed into a wide waterfall the moment it emerged from the Dragon Gate!

The waterfall's water crashed down on Yu Jiaojiao...

Song Shuhang blinked. The waterfall was much smaller than he had imagined, even smaller than the waterfall in Senior White's 'illusory [reality]' when he transformed into a goldfish yesterday.

If this waterfall only possessed such power, then with Yu Jiaojiao's Peak Third-Grade strength and her Flood Dragon bloodline, leaping upstream and entering the Dragon Gate should have been an easy task, right?

So... is there another secret hidden in the waters of this waterfall? Song Shuhang wondered to himself.

As Shuhang pondered, he saw Yu Jiaojiao firmly planted on the ground. Instead of taking off before the waterfall cascaded down, she remained on the ground, ready to receive the incoming water.

In the blink of an eye.

With a loud whoosh, the waterfall cascaded down on Yu Jiaojiao, enveloping an area of several dozen meters around Yu Jiaojiao.

But miraculously, apart from the waterfall water that fell on Yu Jiaojiao, the other waterfall water that fell on the ground, on Song Shuhang, on Doudou, and on the little monk turned into mist and disappeared the moment it touched their skin.

Only Yu Jiaojiao's body seemed to bear immense pressure instantly, her body pressed to the ground by the heavy impact of the waterfall, her four paws sinking deep into the earth!

Crack, crack— Song Shuhang could even hear the friction sounds coming from the bones inside Yu Jiaojiao's body.

"Is the pressure of the waterfall really that great?" Song Shuhang wondered... Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the drop of 'Natal Essence Blood' within him actually transmitted Yu Jiaojiao's current feelings to Song Shuhang.

In an instant, Song Shuhang felt as if tens of tons of weight had been placed on his back. He was immediately crushed to the ground.

In reality, Song Shuhang's body did not experience any pressure. It was simply that after sharing Yu Jiaojiao's current state and feelings, his body subconsciously chose to lie down on the ground.

"How terrifying! It's just a small amount of water from the waterfall, but every drop feels as heavy as a grain of iron, hitting my body like being punched by countless fists. The force of this massive waterfall is overwhelming; no wonder even Yu Jiaojiao could only struggle to hold on," Song Shuhang thought to himself.

No wonder Yu Jiaojiao didn't take off before the waterfall hit the ground. If she hadn't gotten used to the weight of the waterfall, taking off directly would have only resulted in her being knocked down by the water, with even worse consequences.

About five seconds later, Yu Jiaojiao seemed to gradually get used to the weight of the waterfall. She began to support herself with her limbs and slowly but firmly straightened up under the waterfall.

The demonic energy within her erupted, protecting her body.

The next moment, "Awooo~~" Yu Jiaojiao let out a dragon's roar, and her body soared into the sky, slowly surging upwards against the waterfall.

"Well done!" Song Shuhang, who was lying on the ground behind, praised in his heart.

He also endured the pressure of the several tons of weight on his body, slowly crawled up from the ground, and stared intently at the scene of Yu Jiaojiao crashing into the 'Dragon Gate Waterfall'.

As he watched Yu Jiaojiao slowly swim upstream, through sensory sharing, Song Shuhang could clearly sense the feeling Yu Jiaojiao had when she broke through the water's flow.

This invaluable insight will eventually be transformed into Song Shuhang's own experience, giving him a much greater chance of success when he breaks through the bottleneck of First-Grade final Dragon Gate Leap -grade realm.

"If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Yu Jiaojiao can keep going upstream, she should be able to successfully cross the Dragon Gate and transform into a Mermaid, right?" Song Shuhang thought to himself.

But the thought had barely crossed his mind when a sudden change occurred in the waterfall.

Clusters of lightning suddenly erupted from the waterfall, striking Yu Jiaojiao. The lightning appeared so abruptly that Yu Jiaojiao was completely unprepared.

Water-Element Tribulation Lightning... This is Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. 'Dragon Gate Empowerment' is not just an opportunity; it is also a 'Heavenly Tribulation' for the Fish Demon to advance to the Fourth-Grade Realm!

The Tribulation Lightning Tyrant; when it hit Yu Jiaojiao, it blasted her body into a bloody mess.

Yu Jiaojiao's body is covered with a layer of fine fish scales, which provides her with astonishing defense. However, this layer of scales is like a thin veil in the face of Tribulation Lightning, and it is easily torn apart. Even the flesh beneath the scales is scorched by the lightning ball.

At the same time, the heavy waters of Dragon Gate Waterfall cascaded down, mercilessly washing away and tearing off Yu Jiaojiao's flesh, blood, and scales. Yu Jiaojiao's blood stained the waterfall red!

The excruciating pain of having his skin torn open and the torment of his flesh being washed away by the waterfall were also transmitted to Song Shuhang without exception.

"Ouch." Song Shuhang gasped... That really hurt like hell!

Beneath the waterfall, Yu Jiaojiao let out another dragon's roar. Even though her blood stained the waterfall red, she did not retreat a single step—below the Dragon Gate Waterfall, even taking just one step back would result in being swept away by the heavy water in one gulp.

If you don't advance, you retreat; and retreating even a step means losing!

Yu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth. Since they weren't going to back down, there was only one word: charge!

Go go go!

At that moment, she activated her innate ability. Within her blasted, bloodied fish scales, a new layer of coin-shaped scales began to grow...

This is a kind of ability similar to shedding skin. When the skin is severely injured, it can transform the badly damaged epidermis into a defensive layer, which can then be shed entirely afterwards. However, the pain when using this talent is indescribable. It's as if a layer of flesh is scraped off with a knife; it's practically the torture of being skinned alive.

"Aow~~" Yu Jiaojiao let out another dragon roar—it turned out that her loud dragon roar was not used to enhance her aura, but was a scream of pain that she could not bear.

Her gaze drifted upwards towards the top of the waterfall... where an even larger and more powerful sphere of Tribulation Lightning awaited her!

Beneath the waterfall, Song Shuhang lay pale. The force of the Dragon Gate Waterfall, the pain of the Tribulation Lightning orbs exploding on his body, the pain of his flesh and skin being washed by the waterfall, and the pain of being skinned just now—all of these were shared with Song Shuhang's body through that 'Natal Essence Blood'.

This isn't Fish Leaping Dragon Gate; it's clearly a complete collection of 108 forms of torture!

In the midst of excruciating pain, Song Shuhang was unaware that within his body, the Blood Qi and blood of the five acupoints— Heart Aperture, Eye Aperture, Nose Aperture, Ear Aperture, Mouth Aperture— had become tightly connected, transforming into a miniature version of the Dragon Gate formation.

Outside, Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao shared the same senses, personally experiencing Yu Jiaojiao's 'leaping over the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate '.

Meanwhile, his own body was also unknowingly and silently beginning to break through the bottleneck of the First-Grade, 'Leaping the Dragon Gate Leap'!

***************************

Within China.

A White Crane with three pairs of wings is holding a cell phone with a map navigation app running in one claw and a Heaven-and-Earth Bag in the other.

"This is it, the place Fellow Daoist Yellow Mountain posted about, the location of Fairy Lychee's cave." White Crane with three pairs of wings descended from the sky and landed in front of a cave covered by ancient vines.

This place is invisible to the naked eye of mortals; only cultivators can find it.

After landing, the three-paired White Crane transformed into an angel, becoming the White True Lord White Crane delivered packages for Senior White.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, True Lord White Crane began to knock on the cave door in several complex rhythms, following the method taught by True Lord Yellow Mountain.

A moment later, the melodious voice of Fairy Lychee came from inside. "Which fellow Daoist is it?"

"Is this the Fairy Lychee? I'm White Crane, an old friend of True Lord Yellow Mountain. Open the door, I've come to deliver a package!" True Lord White Crane called out...
