Could I Really Be That Kind of Person?

"Hiss--"

When the lightning reappeared in the water, Li Baimei's body trembled.

At the same time, he began to carefully feel the sensations that the thunder was bringing to his body.

Experience it, experience it.

Suddenly, everything in the world seemed to have lost its existence, and time seemed to stand still.

All thoughts and ideas ceased.

Invisibly, it seemed as if a point of light appeared, then rapidly expanded, like white light engulfing the heavens and earth.

"Call--"

After the feeling subsided, Li Baimei let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he raised his hand to shield the water's surface from some of the shadows, and looked down into the water through the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, Li Baimei's face twitched violently.

"Oh no, am I really that kind of person?"

However, he was not in a hurry to dwell on this matter, because he had already noticed that Qian Guiyi's gaze was looking at him.

He immediately turned his gaze to the chaotic battle that had abruptly stopped due to the lightning strike, and roared.

"Stop it, all of you!"

"Are you wasting your time here? Are you even going to walk on this path or not?"

Qian Guiyi gave Li Baimei deep look, then stopped wasting time on her and called out as well.

"Don't waste your time on the Li Clan, move on!"

At this moment, the noise subsided, and with both leaders speaking at once, the chaotic scene was temporarily suppressed.

After a brief period of confusion, the two groups were separated.

Qian Guiyi didn't say anything more and immediately led everyone to continue swimming towards the end of the waterway.

Li Baimei glanced at the crowd and, noticing that some people looked unwell, asked them a question.

"What, didn't you get anything in return?"

Upon hearing these words, those who already looked unwell showed even more displeasure.

One of them even blushed and said...

"I have been devoted to spiritual practice for many years and am not suited to such rude behavior."

"But the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom, they all seem like barbarians."

There's no escaping it, there's truly no escaping it.

Li Baimei glanced at the group and said.

There's no need to dwell on this.

"The road ahead is long, and no one can predict what other variables may arise."

"Waiting for an opportunity is better than staying here indefinitely."

After saying that, Li Baimei set off forward, and the group of the Li Clan followed suit.

After all that commotion, the water surface was now visibly crowded with people, making what was once a vast expanse of water appear incredibly congested.

Beyond the road lies the location of that giant crater.

Even now, countless people continue to enter, burying their prepared coffins and ancestral tablets inside.

Someone on the shore looked at the deep pit and sighed.

"That's quite amazing."

"Considering this, from the very first person to enter until now, the number of people who went in to place the coffin for the ancestor is probably countless."

"But this pit seemed to be a bottomless pit."

Beneath the giant pit, Zhong Ming busily collected materials.

At some point, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

"These later ones really can't compare to the first batch."

"It seems that after collecting this for a while longer, it's time to slowly digest it."

Time passed slowly amidst the surging crowds.

Now, everyone has a general understanding of the situation regarding these two roads.

On that land route, there would be occasional ripples, designed to cause people on the road to fall into the water.

As for the water, although lightning occasionally occurs, it is still within an acceptable range.

The first time might be quite exciting, but once you're mentally prepared, it's not so hard to accept anymore.

However, being prepared is one thing, but being struck by lightning in such an ordinary state is certainly not a good thing.

The wisest course of action right now is to move forward quickly and get ashore as soon as possible.

In such an atmosphere, the entire waterway could be described as harmonious.

In the waterway, at the very front of the crowd, Gu De uttered a sigh of relief, "Finally!"

The next moment, he stood up from the water and slowly walked towards the ground in front of him.

Looking back at the densely packed heads in the distance, a thought couldn't help but flash through Gu De's mind.

Although his cultivation and spiritual sense are suppressed in this place, making him just like an ordinary mortal.

But with those past experiences, plus what he has learned in this life's cultivation that is not related to other forms of practice.

I am not the first to enter the water, but I am the first to emerge from it.

This feeling is quite subtle.

Even if one is an ordinary mortal, one is no longer an ordinary mortal.

Gathering his thoughts, Gu De turned and continued looking ahead.

Now that we've swum across this long waterway, looking ahead, it still feels like there's no end in sight.

The extraordinary aura that had been sensed at the end of the road before entering it is now nowhere to be seen, even though one is currently within it.

The view ahead was no longer as vast as the waterway before, but instead featured rows of incredibly thick, towering trees, their branches and leaves flourishing on the ground.

Among these large trees, countless vines, some thick and some thin, can be seen intertwined and linked together, like a huge network connecting all the trees.

"The Emperor."

A voice sounded behind Gu De, asking a question.

Should we continue moving forward?

Gu De didn't rush to answer, but instead looked around, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This forest is certainly not as peaceful as the outside world; it must harbor some dangers, just like the path we just walked.

However, it is still unclear where these crises and traps lie.

In the past, detecting danger with one's mind would have been a casual act, but in the current situation...

Composing himself, Gu De shook his head and said...

"No rush, let the people behind try first."

"The waterway we just passed is enough to illustrate a lot."

He doesn't need to rush like others; he has enough foundation, and even if he starts a little later, he still has the potential to overtake others.

At this moment, Chu Ping'an also reached the shore from behind.

The next moment, he noticed that all the eyes of Gu De's group were on him.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Chu Ping'an spoke up, while simultaneously wondering if they had noticed him following them.

At this moment, one of them spoke.

"Go, keep moving forward."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ping'an immediately understood.

So, they want to use themselves as guinea pigs?

That's far too naive. Do they really think they can't understand the meaning behind those words?

Chu Ping'an shook his head and sat down to the side.

"You guys go ahead, I'm tired and need to rest."
