Chapter 569 - Chapter 569: Chapter 561: Charging Across the Hundred Refinement Bridge, The Conspiracy of Fire Cloud Tunnel (2/2)
At this moment, he was nearly out of the great snow mountain’s range, about to enter the world filled with green vegetation.
“Young friend Qin, look over there!”
After looking for a while, Old Xu pointed to a spot in the distance.
“Is there something special?”
Qin Niu didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
“That’s the only path leading to the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. Do you see where the world of ice and snow meets the world of vitality? There’s a bridge. Only by crossing it from above do you pass the final test.”
Having Old Xu, who knew many insider stories, was a boon, sparing Qin Niu from many detours.
It also allowed him to prepare adequately for any unknown dangers.
“That bridge is said to hold 99 dangers. If you’re lucky enough, perhaps you’ll only face two or three. But if you’re unfortunate, some have faced all 99. A predecessor from our Myriad Beast Gang faced 71 dangers during his sect entry trial and barely made it through.
However, it’s said that the more challenges you face, the greater the benefits. That predecessor reached the Great Immortal Envoy Realm within just a century.”
No wonder Old Xu knew so many insider stories—turns out someone from the Myriad Beast Gang had become a Great Immortal Envoy of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.
“One more thing, you can’t cross that bridge in groups, or the dangers will multiply. The son of Fire Cloud Tunnel’s leader had multiple guards during his trial, and the dangers he faced on that bridge far exceeded those of an ordinary challenger. In the end, only one of them survived. It’s said that even the guards at the Immortal Envoy level perished on the bridge.
The sole survivor was an expendable who was leading the way.”
The stronger the challenge, the stronger the response?, Could there really be such a miraculous bridge in the world? Qin Niu indeed wanted to see for himself.
“It’s getting dark soon. This great snow mountain will become exceptionally dangerous. Let’s hurry!”
Old Xu looked up at the sky, which was already dimming, the night ready to shroud the earth.
The two of them rapidly moved towards the base of the peak.
Climbing up was hard, but descending was much easier.
However, fierce gales blasted on the mountain’s backside, which could easily blow someone away if not careful.
This kind of gale had little effect on Qin Niu and Old Xu.
Yet, as they neared the base, Qin Niu felt an uneasy premonition growing stronger.
He silently raised his vigilance.
Old Xu also seemed to sense the danger, his body’s Aura Barrier visibly strengthening, his treasured sword charged and ready to deal with any threat.
As they approached the bridge that connected the great snow mountain with the world of vitality, Qin Niu suddenly felt his hairs stand on end and his eyelids twitch wildly.
He sensed a significant threat.
“Master, Demon Insects are approaching,” both the Mirage Insect and Fourth issued a warning at the same time.
