He Pingsheng looked around.
Aside from the direction he had come from, mountains blocked the other three directions.
There seemed to be no passage.
That wasn't right!
Weren't the Five Dragon Ravines supposed to connect end to end?
What was going on?
He Pingsheng passed the golden dragon of origin and headed toward the mountain directly behind it.
He raised his head and studied the towering mountain range.
He now stood beneath its sheer cliffs.
If Wood Dragon Ravine lay beyond the mountain, he would have to climb over it to get there.
Hmm...
Let's try...
The higher he stood, the farther he could see. Only by reaching the summit could he survey the whole area.
He Pingsheng drew a deep breath and pushed off hard.
Bang...
Golden light burst beneath his feet like a golden flower.
With his speed instantly boosted fivefold, He Pingsheng leaped a hundred zhang into the air.
Then, with a shift of his feet, he landed on a ledge along the sheer cliff.
He repeated the same trick, leaping another hundred zhang.
The cultivators below, who had been contemplating the origin, were stunned.
That high?
But then!
Just as He Pingsheng was about to reach his second foothold, a membrane of light suddenly appeared above his head.
Hum, hum, hum...
It was not merely overhead. Centered on him, an enormous dome of light spanning ten thousand zhang appeared, like an overturned hemispherical bowl, gleaming and radiant.
"A formation?"
He Pingsheng was slightly startled.
The next instant, an invisible force poured down from the formation and slammed onto his head.
Under that savage pressure, He Pingsheng plummeted toward the ground.
A moment later, he crashed into it.
Fortunately, he was wearing the Seven-Buckle Sharp-Gold Armor. With its defenses activated, he landed safely without injury.
One buckle
