CHAPTER 1306: CHAPTER 1306: THE FOURTH IMMORTAL BRIDGE

Over four years, Jing Yan felt that his abilities had significantly advanced.

Whether it was the Sword Intent Domain, Nihility Domain, Gravity Domain, or Divine Soul Strength, he had made great progress.

This advancement also included changes in the power of the Divine Sea and Divine Core.

Just as the rumors suggested, the Immortal Bridges are indeed a heaven-defying opportunity that can enhance a Martial Artist’s abilities in all aspects.

Standing up, Jing Yan looked around, and then his expression froze a little.

At this moment, on the first Immortal Bridge, he found himself alone. The other forty-nine individuals had all left the first Immortal Bridge.

"What’s going on? Isn’t one supposed to be able to stay on an Immortal Bridge for ten years? Why are they all eager to ascend to the second Immortal Bridge?" Jing Yan was also puzzled in his heart.

What he didn’t know was that the other Martial Artists only moved to the second Immortal Bridge after feeling that the Tao Aura of the first wasn’t helpful to them. As for Jing Yan, the reason he could train under the Tao Aura of the first Immortal Bridge for four years had something to do with his mental method.

If it weren’t for the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, he might have felt the Tao Aura of the first Immortal Bridge offered no help after just one year.

Shaking his head, Jing Yan leapt up and rushed towards the second Immortal Bridge.

After entering ten meters into the second Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan again felt the resistance of the bridge. Just like the previous time, he harnessed divine power to break through the obstacle.

"Hmm?"

"The strength of the resistance seems not to have increased at all!" Jing Yan easily landed on the second Immortal Bridge.

The experience was almost indistinguishable from ascending the first Immortal Bridge. Jing Yan didn’t know if the other Martial Artists felt the same, but to him, the resistance of the second Immortal Bridge was almost the same strength as the first’s.

Once Jing Yan set foot on the second Immortal Bridge, the Tao Aura surrounded him again.

The Tao Aura of the second Immortal Bridge was indeed far more mysterious than that of the first.

Jing Yan, unable to conceal his joy, immediately sat down to cultivate.

"This boy finally ascended to the second Immortal Bridge."

"Yes! I thought he was really going to stay on the first Immortal Bridge for ten years."

"Perhaps he changed his mind after seeing that he was the only one left on the first Immortal Bridge. I dare say he initially planned to stay there for ten years."

The tone of many while discussing Jing Yan carried a sarcastic disdain.

They simply didn’t believe that the Tao Aura contained in the first Immortal Bridge could assist Jing Yan for as long as four years.

In fact, even Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao believed Jing Yan did it on purpose. From their perspective, given the abilities Jing Yan already possessed, staying on the first Immortal Bridge for about a year would mean that the Tao Aura of the first Immortal Bridge would no longer be helpful.

By this time, Chen Tongyue had already reached the sixth Immortal Bridge.

Chen Tongyue stood out uniquely!

Zhan Fei and Hu Lin were both still seated and cultivating on the fifth Immortal Bridge.

The remaining fourth and third Immortal Bridges also had quite a few Martial Artists. On the second Immortal Bridge, there were about a dozen Three Flowers Main God Realm Martial Artists seated and cultivating.

As days went by one after another.

Jing Yan trained on the second Immortal Bridge for another four years. After four years, he smoothly ascended to the third Immortal Bridge.

The resistance of the third Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan felt, was still no different from that of the first and second Immortal Bridges.

"Is ascending the Immortal Bridge truly this simple?"

"If that’s the case, wouldn’t everyone be able to reach the top? But... that clearly isn’t possible!" Jing Yan was also quite puzzled in his heart.

According to the information he had gathered before, it was virtually impossible for Martial Artists who climbed the Immortal Bridges to reach the top. In the history of the God Realm, no Martial Artist had ever made it to the top.

"Why bother with so much? I should take advantage of this opportunity to train and strive to enhance my strength." Jing Yan shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and sat down on the third Immortal Bridge to cultivate.

The Tao Aura on the third Immortal Bridge was again far more mysterious than the Tao Aura on the second Immortal Bridge.

Five years later, Jing Yan’s body stood up on the third Immortal Bridge.

"Progress is truly remarkable!"

"I feel that if I continue to train like this, it won’t take long before I can produce a fourth Divine Core Flower. Perhaps I might really achieve the Nine Tripods Main God Realm on the Immortal Bridge." Jing Yan’s heart was filled with joy and expectation.

He flew towards the fourth Immortal Bridge.

"Buzz!"

On the fourth Immortal Bridge, resistance imbued with supreme power came rushing at him.

"Break!" Jing Yan softly exclaimed as before, divine power surged out from the Divine Sea.

"Hmm?" In the next moment, Jing Yan’s expression changed.

Because this time, the surrounding resistance did not retreat with the use of his divine power. The resistance around him seemed completely unaffected by the divine power and continued to obstruct his approach to the fourth Immortal Bridge.

"The resistance has increased!"

Jing Yan furrowed his brows, his eyes half-squinting.

"Break!" Jing Yan increased the flow of his divine power, vast divine energy fiercely bursting forth.

Under this more powerful divine force, Jing Yan’s body once again slowly approached the fourth Immortal Bridge. However, when he got within five meters of the Immortal Bridge, his movement completely halted.

Subsequently, even when he pushed his divine power to the limit, he couldn’t advance even a single step further.

"Sword Intent Domain!" In his contemplation, Jing Yan’s mind moved, releasing the Sword Intent Domain.

With the release of the Sword Intent Domain, the resistance on the fourth Immortal Bridge dissipated like a receding tide. Jing Yan accelerated and landed steadily on the fourth Immortal Bridge.

"Phew..." Jing Yan let out a breath.

Earlier, when he couldn’t advance even with his divine power pushed to the limit, he indeed got a bit nervous, fearing that his journey on the Immortal Bridge would end there.

After he landed on the fourth Immortal Bridge, he suddenly realized. The Immortal Bridges are testing a Martial Artist’s comprehensive abilities. The Martial Arts realm can be simply viewed as the level of divine power richness. When divine power meets the standards of an Immortal Bridge, one can ascend smoothly.

Jing Yan’s divine power had reached the standards of the first three Immortal Bridges, so he ascended them smoothly without much obstruction. However, his divine power didn’t meet the entry conditions of the fourth Immortal Bridge, so even with his divine power pushed to the utmost, he couldn’t ascend the fourth Immortal Bridge.

And when he used the Sword Intent Domain, it was another type of ability that allowed him to easily ascend the fourth Immortal Bridge.

At this moment, Jing Yan roughly understood the challenging aspect of ascending the Immortal Bridge.
