Lin Heng was shocked as he looked at the bridge paved with tens of thousands of High-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.
Not to mention the scarcity of resources in the Longevity Realm today, even in ancient times, it's hard to find another person with such a grand vision.
This is just Cambridge, not some kind of exhibit.
"Unfortunately, these swords are all protected by protective barriers and cannot be removed."
After tentatively trying to break the nearest longsword, Chen Yulin reluctantly gave up.
'Gurgle gurgle!'
Suddenly, the lake in front of them began to churn violently as if boiling water, and a figure slowly emerged from beneath the surface.
The newcomer had a burly head and a human body, with a black python coiled around his body and a Black Dragon beneath his feet. His arms were covered in blue python patterns, and he looked exceptionally fierce. In particular, the chilling aura emanating from his eyes at all times gave people a feeling that strangers should stay away.
"I am Gonggong. You were able to pass through Peach Garden Road, so you must have some skill among those of the same realm. But passing through Ten Thousand Swords Bridge will not be so easy."
The brute Gonggong spoke without a trace of emotion; his icy voice even sent a chill down the spines of Lin Heng and the other two.
Liuyun Lan bowed and asked, "Senior, what are the requirements for passing the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge?"
Gonggong his lips slightly, a scarlet tongue darting out and tracing a line across his lips, a cold smile curving his lips, "There are no special requirements. It's still one person at a time. I won't attack you. You just need to walk across the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge."
"It's that simple?"
Liuyun Lan was somewhat incredulous. Not only him, but even Lin Heng and Chen Yulin felt that something was amiss.
If the first level, Peach Garden Road, is attacked by Zhu Rong, how could the second level be just a simple walk?
Gonggong didn't offer any further explanation. After speaking, he floated from the lake to the shore and stood aside quietly waiting.
Lin Heng and the other two exchanged glances. Chen Yulin couldn't help but mutter, "I should have waited for Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao to come together."
It's a bit of a pity we didn't bring the testing stone, but we can't wait for them any longer.
Liuyun Lan thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go first, you guys stay behind and keep watch."
Liuyun Lan dared to volunteer, which naturally showed his confidence and trump cards, but Lin Heng and Chen Yulin did not say much about it.
Under Gonggong's watchful gaze, Liuyun Lan walked to the edge of Ten Thousand Swords Bridge.
Looking ahead, Liuyun Lan paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge.
Behind them, Lin Heng and Chen Yulin did not notice anything unusual.
Strangely, after taking her first step, Liuyun Lan stood Immovable and didn't take a second step for a long time.
" Liuyun, what's wrong?"
Chen Yulin shouted, but Liuyun Lan didn't respond at all.
Gonggong, however, offered a word of advice. "You don't need to waste your efforts. Ten Thousand Swords Bridge is a self-contained world, isolated from the outside. No matter how you call, he won't hear you."
really!
Lin Heng and Chen Yulin felt a chill run down their spines; this hurdle was indeed not going to be easy!
Looking at Liuyun Lan again, about half a minute had passed before he finally made a move, taking a second step.
Lin Heng'er breathed a sigh of relief, at least proving that Liuyun Lan was alright.
For the next ten steps, Liuyun Lan would pause for about half a minute after each step.
As time went on, Liuyun Lan stayed for longer and longer periods of time.
Just as Liuyun Lan had taken about seven hundred steps, his body suddenly trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, kneeling on the bridge.
Lin Heng and Chen Yulin were startled. At this moment, Gonggong nodded and said, "Able to walk 731 steps, not bad, you've passed."
After saying this, Gonggong his hand, and a stream of water surged up from under the lake, supporting Liuyun Lan's body and carrying him to the other side.
It seems that it is not necessary to complete the journey. As long as a certain number of steps are taken, even if the journey fails, Gonggong will still take the person to the other side.
I just wonder what will happen if I fail to reach a certain number of steps.
The thought had barely formed in Lin Heng and Chen Yulin's minds when Gonggong suddenly said, "You want to know the consequences of failure, don't you? Watch!"
Gonggong looked towards Ten Thousand Swords Bridge, and Lin Heng and Chen Yulin followed suit.
Beneath the once calm surface of the lake, a huge dark shadow emerged from the bottom.
With a loud 'boom,' the dark figure leaped up from under the lake, its massive body sending sprays of water flying into the air.
It was a Sea Dragon that was three or four hundred meters long, with its whole body being sea blue and horns already growing on its head, but its four claws had not yet grown.
The Sea Dragon leaped out of the water, letting out a terrifying roar in mid-air, before plunging back into the lake.
"It's at least Sea Dragon at the Heavenly Venerable Realm!"
"Impossible. The Sea Dragon race has limited talent. The strongest Sea Dragon currently existing in the Nine Heavens is only at the Ninth-Turn Samsara."
"How could Sea Dragon possibly break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm?"
Chen Yulin shook his head in disbelief, trying to deny the facts before him.
Gonggong glanced at him, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Anything is possible in this world; just because you don't know something doesn't mean you don't possess it."
Gonggong gave a mocking laugh, then asked, "Alright, who's next?"
Chen Yulin was about to step forward, but Lin Heng spoke first, "Brother Chen, let me go first this time."
Chen Yulin was taken aback. He and Liuyun Lan had always taken the lead because Lin Heng was the weakest. They never expected that Lin Heng would take the initiative to go first this time.
"Okay, then be careful!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Yulin nodded in agreement.
Lin Heng smiled slightly at Chen Yulin, then walked forward. Amidst Gonggong's regretful shake of his head, he strode onto the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge.
Seeing Gonggong's sighing and head-shaking expression, Chen Yulin, who was standing nearby, felt a sudden unease.
Could it be that Gonggong believed Lin Heng was simply incapable of completing the task?
What was his basis for this?
Was Lin Heng's soul power insufficient, or was his cultivation level of Third-Turn Samsara inadequate to challenge the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge?
Chen Yulin quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, hoping to avoid some detours in the future.
On the other side, as soon as Lin Heng stepped onto the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge, a powerful restriction forcibly sealed his cultivation.
Before Lin Heng Lin Heng could recover from his shock, everything went black, and the world around him was plunged into darkness.
In this dark world, a bright light suddenly appeared, and with a whooshing sound, a long sword slashed through the sky and flew straight towards Lin Heng.
As if by reflex, Lin Heng tried to circulate his Source Power to resist, but his body showed no energy fluctuations whatsoever.
Only then did Lin Heng realize that his cultivation had been sealed the moment he stepped onto the Ten Thousand Swords Bridge.
"Oops!"
Lin Heng inwardly cried out. With his cultivation sealed, he was no different from an ordinary person. How could he possibly defend against the flying sword?
