Chapter 989 - 36 Change!
It was said that after stepping onto the "astral bridge", no matter how strong one"s true essence was, it would be impossible to display it.
Everyone could only move forward one step at a time. On the white bridge, there were countless hidden traps. It was fine to step on the first person, but when the next person stepped on the bridge, it was possible to step on empty air. At this place, he could fall into the lake at any time.
As he thought about it, Tang Huan already stepped onto the first step.
In that moment, Tang Huan felt a terrifying binding force sweeping over, in that moment, it penetrated into the Dantian and completely imprisoned the True Spirit.
On the bridge, it was indeed impossible to mobilize even a single strand of true essence.
However, when Tang Huan tried to use the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace", he was still able to freely circulate it. He could also use the "Intangible Buddha" in the depths of his soul.
This meant that Tang Huan"s Perception Ability was not affected at all.
Therefore, in the next moment, Tang Huan activated his Perception Ability to its limits, and carefully probed.
The situation on the bridge was constantly changing. The positions of the stations were different, and the times one stepped onto the stairs were different. The situation they sensed was also very different.
Following closely behind someone else was definitely not a success.
There was nothing to learn from the experiences of others because the situation on the bridge was ever-changing. The experiences from the previous moment could not be applied to the next moment. Even for the same person, stepping onto the "astral bridge" after falling into the lake would not allow one to draw on past experiences.
As long as he fell into the lake, everything would have to start over.
If the thirty-six cultivators wanted to pa.s.s through this "astral bridge" and reach the other side of the lake, they would probably only be able to rely on their own Perception Ability.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Shouts of surprise erupted.
A few meters in front of Tang Huan, a cultivator stepped out with his right foot, and a hole immediately appeared on the stairs in front of him. The hole was less than a meter in diameter, and if his hands were to support it, it could have been left on the bridge.
Soon after, the hole had been repaired, and the astral bridge rapidly returned to its original state.
Tang Huan"s heart s.h.i.+vered, he immediately s.h.i.+fted his attention to the other three Yang Calamity cultivators, sensing their current situation carefully.
"Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
"d.a.m.n, I stepped on the wrong foot!"
"This is bad!"
In the time it took for a mere ten breaths, the three people in front had completely disappeared. The person furthest away hadn"t even reached ten meters, and one of them directly fell down because he had stopped too long. After reaching the top of the lake, one couldn"t stay still for too long. Otherwise, one would also fall into the lake.
According to Tang Huan"s observation, the time it took to stop should not exceed the span of a single breath.
Aside from the stairs at the top of the lake, no matter where one went to the "astral bridge", they had to take the next step within this time. Moreover, they had to take the correct step before they could continue to stay on the bridge. Tang Huan had stopped for so long that he did not fall, precisely because he had always been standing on the first step.
At the end of the bridge, there were nine steps leading up to the top of the lake.
Tang Huan suddenly realised that the first nine steps should be safe. No matter how he walked, he would be fine, the real trap would start from the tenth step.
Each step encompa.s.sed thirty-six different auras, and each small section represented one different aura.
This meant that every time he wanted to take the next step, he would have to face thirty-six choices. This bridge spanned over a hundred meter lake, and there were many steps leading up to it. Every time, one would have to go through the changes in the thirty-six auras and find the correct landing point. The difficulty was truly great.
"Hu!"
A few figures flew past Tang Huan"s body, and Yu Qingge and her flying boat were both shocked.
Obviously, they had also discovered that the first nine steps were extremely safe, so their speed was extremely fast. They only came to a stop when they reached the ninth step. The tyrannical and unparalleled Perception Ability was unleashed to its fullest extent. The 36 different auras and auras on the tenth step were simultaneously captured by Tang Huan and clearly displayed in his mind.
Different auras had different rhythms within them.
Select one of the auras fluctuations on the tenth step, look for the auras fluctuation on the eleventh step, and then look for the auras fluctuation on the twelfth step, and so on, and so on and so forth, continuously moving forward …
This required a cultivator to possess a powerful Perception Ability, and also required a high degree of concentration. After all, every single aura fluctuation on the stairs was rather minute, and the rhythm was naturally more difficult to determine. Furthermore, every time he made a choice, he would have to make it within the time of a single breath.
It was only for a short period of time, so it was no wonder that the cultivators that tried before all fell into the water.
After climbing up to the ninth step, Tang Huan"s footsteps paused slightly. He mustered all his strength and jumped to the furthest right of the tenth step, then another step took him to the furthest left of the eleventh step.
To a yin tribulation cultivator, even if the true essence in their body was completely restrained, they could still easily traverse the six meters of s.p.a.ce above the white arched bridge with just the strength of their flesh body. However, if he wanted to borrow this power to step onto more stairs, it would be impossible.
Cries of surprise rang out from time to time, and unknowingly, only the flying boat remained.
"Hu!"
Tang Huan leisurely jumped up and down the stairs. In a short one to two breaths of time, he had already pa.s.sed by the flying boat.
Seeing Tang Huan"s carefree look, Jie Fei Zhou was stunned, and forgot to move. A moment later, a hole appeared beneath his feet. He only had enough time to say a single word before the flying boat disappeared from the surface of the white arched bridge.
Tang Huan suddenly went straight ahead, and then jumped to the right, and then suddenly jumped to the left, as if it was extremely easy.
The reason why he could display this kind of skillful and ordinary state was mainly because of Tang Huan"s sharp and powerful Perception Ability. The existence of Nine Yang Divine Furnace, Intangible Buddha, and even the sculpture of a casting G.o.d allowed Tang Huan to gain a unique advantage on the astral bridge.
Not long after, Tang Huan had already crossed nearly twenty meters of stairs.
The situation on the bridge immediately attracted everyone"s attention. The cultivators who wanted to get on the bridge subconsciously stopped.
"Who is this guy? His speed is so fast!"
"Tang Huan? That Gem Synthetic Master and that Weapon Refiner? On this Heavenly Dipper Bridge, his advantage is this great? "
"Tsk tsk, how powerful is this Tang Huan"s Perception Ability?"
"..."
Shocked cries sounded from all directions as one after another gazes fell onto Tang Huan"s body, and the surprise in their eyes actually became more and more intense. Just now, even a cultivator at the peak of the Yang Tribulation Realm hadn"t walked ten meters forward when he tried it for the first time. But Tang Huan had immediately increased the distance between them to more than twice.
