Challenging the Tongtian Bridge Again
The Tongtian Bridge Plane.
For countless years, Bafen has steadfastly guarded this beautiful island, silently watching over it. At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the island; it was Lu Yan'an, who had come here to attempt the challenge.
"Hey, Lu Yan'an." The steadfast Bafen smiled and quickly went to greet him, his star-colored robes fluttering in the wind.
"Oh, it's rare to see you change your robes, Lord Guardian!" Lu Yan'an teased with a smile.
"Haha, we can't keep doing the same thing forever," the steadfast Bafen chuckled. "It's been a long time since I've seen you. You haven't tried again since you cleared the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. Centuries have passed in the blink of an eye. Are you going to give everyone a surprise this time? I bet you can make it to the Fourteenth Layer by now!"
As a guardian of the Tongtian Bridge Plane, Bafen was one of the few who knew Lu Yan'an's true level on the Tongtian Bridge. Generally speaking, he could get feedback from anyone who had crossed the Tongtian Bridge. Last time, it was the City Lord of Chaos who personally ordered Bafen to cover up Lu Yan'an's achievement of reaching the Twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
It's important to understand that Primal Secret Region Member at the Domain Lord level have only reached the eleventh level. This is the result of countless Years of effort by them at the Domain Lord level, while Lu Yan'an was only at the Universe Level back then! Now, he has broken through to the Domain Lord level with unstoppable momentum, and has also returned to Chaos City to cultivate.
Considering all these factors, it's no joke if Lu Yan'an really manages to reach the Fourteenth Layer of the Tongtian Bridge.
Lu Yan'an smiled slightly, "It will surprise you, but please keep my progress on the Tongtian Bridge a secret, just like last time. No matter which level I reach this Tongtian Bridge, please tell everyone it's the 12th level!"
"Oh? Okay!" The steadfast Bafen nodded in surprise. "You seem quite confident. I'll wait and see."
Lu Yan'an smiled and transformed into Flowing Light, flying towards the Darkness Tongtian Bridge.
Soon, he arrived at the Darkness Tongtian Bridge. Gazing at the endless, seemingly unending bridge, he smiled slightly, "Old friend, it's been a long time since I've visited you! Today I'll make up for all the Years we spent together before—don't be too shocked!"
With a "shut".
Lu Yan'an instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, skimming across the bridge and disappearing into the distance, thus beginning his journey Tongtian Bridge.
As Lu Yan'an began to break through the Tongtian Bridge, the Guardian Bafen, started sending out mass emails.
"He's hailed as the most prodigious genius in the history of Virtual Universe Company. There are so many bigwigs who value this kid Lu Yan'an," muttered the Guardian Bafen. "They even ordered me to notify them the moment Lu Yan'an crosses the Tongtian Bridge."
Instantly, dozens of emails were sent out.
The Virtual Universe Company's strict control over the cultivation progress of geniuses is truly moving! Numerous powerful figures are paying close attention to these geniuses' cultivation, and generally speaking, the more monstrous the genius, the more powerful figures follow them. If Lu Yan'an hadn't already been nominally accepted as a disciple by the City Lord of Chaos, it would be normal for the number of powerful figures following him to double.
Among the members of the first Genius Tournament that Lu Yan'an participated in, three were extremely outstanding: Lu Yan'an, Ming Feng, and Xun Kong! Ming Feng and Xun Kong were recognized as peerless geniuses and were sought after by many Feng Wang experts and even Venerable to become their disciples. Lu Yan'an himself was even nominally accepted as a disciple by the City Lord of Chaos.
But who knew that being one step ahead would lead to being one step behind at every turn? The gap between them when they first joined the company didn't narrow with time; instead, it widened. Now, they couldn't even see Lu Yan'an's back anymore. For a group of geniuses still stuck on the 7th or 8th level of the Tongtian Bridge, they and Lu Yan'an were now from two completely different worlds!
King Yinxing, Ji Zhou Wang, King Duankong... a total of over a hundred Immortal God, dozens of invincible beings at the King Level, and even the weakest among them were all at the High-level King Level. These hundreds of powerful beings arrived at the Tongtian Bridge Plane space as soon as they received the news.
Therefore, on the island in the Tongtian Bridge Plane, a group of powerful Immortal God gathered together to watch Lu Yan'an's breakthrough.
Bafen was not surprised at all by the arrival of these powerful figures. Having already made preparations, he took out the video recording of Lu Yan'an's breakthrough across the Tongtian Bridge hundreds of years ago and played it.
"Haha, there are quite a lot of people here." Ji Zhou Wang laughed as he looked around.
"Who can argue with that? I never expected that Lu Yan'an's name alone could attract so many powerful figures to watch. He truly lives up to his reputation as the City Lord's disciple!" A Crimson Child Immortal with a full white beard smiled. "The Venerable also ordered me to keep an eye on this little fellow, and I dared not slack off in the slightest. As soon as I learned that he was going to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, I immediately came to watch the live broadcast."
"Yes, we are basically all acting on the orders of the Venerable," the Feng Wang said with smiles.
The atmosphere was quite nice.
"Everyone, tell me, which level do you think Lu Yan'an will be able to pass this time?" the composed King Yinxing asked with a smile.
"I think it's probably the 11th floor, or even the 12th. After all, Lu Yan'an is used to surprising people!"
"Hmm, I think it's probably the 11th floor."
"I've reached the 12th floor! There's a level every three floors, so it's unlikely I'll make it to the 13th floor."
"The 11th floor."
"It might be the 13th floor. Hopefully, everyone's eyes will pop out of their sockets when that happens."
"This is impossible! How long has it been? Less than 300 years! He spent most of his Years outside of Chaos City, how could he have reached the 13th level!"
A large group of Feng Wang represented the Universe Venerable. Even those Invincible Kings, though not dependent on the Venerable, still had to give Venerable some face. Therefore, they showed some respect to these King-level Immortal who were the Venerable's confidants, and the conversation went quite smoothly.
"It seems everyone agrees on the eleventh level," the King Yinxing said with a smile, looking at the assembled immortals. "Do the members of the Darkness School share this view?"
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the immortal masters of the Darkness School, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the immortal masters of the Darkness School present exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, the King Shiyue stepped forward. "While we believe he can reach higher levels, we must also consider the objective facts, mustn't we?"
"It's only been a short time, less than three hundred years, right? And during this time, he spent most of his time in the Original Universe. How much progress can we expect him to make? In my opinion, at most, he's at the 12th level!"
The King Shiyue offered a rather rational analysis, and his words were unanimously agreed upon by the immortal masters of the Darkness School present!
"Everyone, just watch, oh, the battle has begun!" After analyzing Lu Yan'an's situation, King Shiyue suddenly pointed at the screen in front of him and said with a smile.
Immediately, hundreds of Immortal God in the arena turned to look at the screen.
On the screen, Lu Yan'an had just flown to the end of the 10th level of the Tongtian Bridge, exchanged a few words with the Gatekeeper in blue, and then immediately took action.
The battle raged for a moment, then ended.
Conquer the 10th floor!
"Defeating the opponent on the 10th floor wasn't easy, so the 11th floor is probably in jeopardy."
"Um."
Keep in mind that the difficulty increases exponentially with each level of the Tongtian Bridge. Unless you completely overpower the opponent, you might not be able to win on the next level.
Many Immortal God watched the screen and commented, but soon they fell silent.
The opponent on the 11th floor was Yellow-Clothed Man who used a special secret technique from the Zhou Guang Yan Lun. This technique was an advanced version of the "Aurora" secret technique in the third volume. Lu Yan'an also sparred with his opponent for dozens of rounds before suddenly unleashing his power to kill him.
Level 11, cleared!
On the 12th floor, the opponent, Yellow-Clothed Man, also used the secret technique "Aurora" from the third volume of the Zhou Guang Yan Lun, but its power was much stronger than the previous floor, like the difference between the initial stage and the peak stage. This time, after Lu Yan'an withstood the attack, he was directly stunned and then easily taken away by the opponent's casual strike.
Floor 12, a crushing defeat!
