CHAPTER 1305: CHAPTER 1395: TAO AURA

"Second, Martial Artist Zhan Fei!" Kuai Rong said to Zhan Fei.

Upon hearing the words of the Kuai Rong Divine Lord, Zhan Fei moved swiftly, his body shot up like an arrow, rushing towards the first Immortal Bridge.

Like Chen Tongyue before him, as he approached the first Immortal Bridge, he was also obstructed by the force emanating from the Immortal Bridge. He utilized his Divine Power to quickly break through the resistance, landing on the first Immortal Bridge.

"Third, Martial Artist Hu Lin!" Kuai Rong Divine Lord’s voice continued.

Martial Artist Hu Lin, a female Nine Tripods Main God, also managed to last over 270 breaths of time in the Red Demon Array. Her result was just two breaths less than Zhan Fei’s.

In other words, their strengths were evenly matched. In a real battle, it would be hard to say who would defeat whom.

Hu Lin’s cold and proud face showed no expression, her graceful figure flickered as she rushed towards the first Immortal Bridge.

"Fourth..."

One martial artist after another continued to ascend the Immortal Bridge.

"Fourteenth, Martial Artist Yan Jin!" Kuai Rong looked towards Jing Yan in the crowd.

"It’s my turn!" Jing Yan’s heart moved, his eyes narrowed slightly.

With a slight tremor of Divine Power, his figure dashed towards the first Immortal Bridge.

As Jing Yan flew out, almost every martial artist’s gaze on the field turned to Jing Yan. The 13 martial artists before him were all Nine Tripods Main Gods. Jing Yan, as the fourteenth martial artist to ascend the Immortal Bridge, was just a Three Flowers Main God.

Not only the martial artists on the field but also countless gazes in the Great Halls surrounding the field were fixed on Jing Yan.

"I wonder which Immortal Bridge Yan Jin can ascend to."

"The Immortal Bridge tests the martial artist’s comprehensive abilities, and the Martial Arts Realm is one aspect."

"That’s right! However, regardless of the outcome, he has already made a name for himself in this Immortal Bridge Meeting. Even if his performance on the Immortal Bridge is mediocre, it doesn’t matter."

"..."

In the Great Halls, many people were discussing Jing Yan.

"Buzz!" As Jing Yan rushed towards the first Immortal Bridge, within ten meters of approaching it, he felt the wave of energy coming at him.

This energy wave was extremely peculiar, although incredibly heavy and brimming with astonishing power, it wasn’t fierce at all as if its intent was merely to prevent martial artists from approaching without any intention of attacking them.

Like the martial artists before him, Jing Yan also activated his Divine Sea Divine Power. Upon contacting the Immortal Bridge’s energy with a surge of Divine Power, the energy of the Immortal Bridge automatically retreated, allowing Jing Yan to easily land on the first Immortal Bridge.

When Jing Yan’s feet stood on the first Immortal Bridge, a vast mysterious aura surged forward.

Upon sensing this aura, Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"This really is the aura of the Great Dao!" Jing Yan felt a sense of ecstasy.

Jing Yan was not unfamiliar with this kind of Great Dao aura. Back in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s Enlightenment Tree space, Jing Yan had encountered it. The Enlightenment Fruit contained some Great Dao aura.

And the All Paths Fruit given during the Star Moon Valley’s Immortal Bridge Meeting also contained the Great Dao aura. For a martial artist, this Great Dao aura was undoubtedly extremely precious.

As he experienced the Great Dao aura, Jing Yan felt as though his Divine Soul Body was being cleansed. A pure, ethereal understanding naturally formed.

The Immortal Bridge is considered by martial artists of the God Realm to be one of the top opportunities, and this is not without reason.

Jing Yan now understood why a martial artist could greatly enhance their strength and even elevate their Martial Arts Realm during the Ascension of the Immortal Bridge. This Great Dao aura is all-encompassing, capable of augmenting a martial artist’s abilities in every aspect, from Divine Skills, Divine Power, Martial Arts Realm, and even the Divine Soul Body, among others.

This was an extremely rare opportunity.

Without hesitation, Jing Yan focused his mind and began his cultivation. On an Immortal Bridge, everyone would have ten years to cultivate.

"Look! Chen Tongyue has already ascended to the second Immortal Bridge!" a voice exclaimed from one of the Great Halls.

Immediately, everyone saw Chen Tongyue leap forward, breaking through the barrier of the second Immortal Bridge and ascending to it.

"It’s a rare opportunity to ascend the Immortal Bridge, why didn’t he linger longer on the first Immortal Bridge?"

"Ignorant! Can’t you see? Chen Tongyue is a top Nine Tripods Main God. The first Immortal Bridge likely no longer holds much for his strength, which is why he chose to ascend the second Immortal Bridge immediately!"

"Indeed, that’s the logic. If the Great Dao aura on the first Immortal Bridge were still of great help to him, he wouldn’t have wasted an opportunity."

The Great Dao aura contained in the first Immortal Bridge indeed wasn’t of much help to some of the more capable Nine Tripods Main Gods.

Chen Tongyue realized this and unhesitatingly ascended to the second Immortal Bridge. For a martial artist like him, staying longer on the first Immortal Bridge would have been a waste of time.

Shortly after Chen Tongyue ascended the second Immortal Bridge, both Zhan Fei and Hu Lin also reached the second Immortal Bridge one after another.

Soon after, several other stronger Nine Tripods Main Gods ascended to the second Immortal Bridge.

In just a few days after the Ascending of the Immortal Bridge began, all twenty-two Nine Tripods Main Gods had left the first Immortal Bridge.

Martial artists like Jing Yan of the Three Flowers Main God Realm, however, remained seated on the first Immortal Bridge. Clearly, the Great Dao aura of the first Immortal Bridge was still greatly beneficial to martial artists of the Three Flowers Main God Realm.

A year later, several martial artists of the Three Flowers Main God Realm began leaving the first Immortal Bridge to ascend to the second Immortal Bridge.

At this point, Jing Yan still sat meditating on the first Immortal Bridge.

Three years later, only three to five Three Flowers Main Gods remained on the first Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan included.

"What’s with this Yan Jin?"

"With his strength, why is he still on the first Immortal Bridge? Could it be that the Great Dao aura of the first Immortal Bridge is still helping his cultivation?"

"Hmph, just putting on an act. Even those Three Flowers Main Gods much weaker than him have left the first Immortal Bridge. How could he benefit from the Great Dao aura on it?"

"Is this person planning to stay on the first Immortal Bridge for the entire ten years?"

Jing Yan was already a martial artist attracting attention, and now with only three to five people left on the first Immortal Bridge, it was inevitable that some would consider him to be deliberately standing out.

However, Jing Yan was not purposely lingering on the first Immortal Bridge. He was still immersed in the Great Dao aura of the first Immortal Bridge, eagerly comprehending Domains and Dao Rules.

Until four years into the Ascending of the Immortal Bridge.

"It’s about time..." It was then that Jing Yan opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation.
