Su Anran was walking inside the dragon gate, with no eager look on her face.
He knew that he should be the first human race to enter the Dragon Gate, so there was no "predecessor experience" to provide him with reference. He could only pioneer the strategy for the Dragon Gate Sublimation Ceremony by himself.
Moreover, Xuankai is not a game, and there is no dungeon where you can continue to challenge after failing the challenge.
Here, Su Anran can only pass the level in one life.
The price of failure is death.
Therefore, he naturally has to calm down and not fail due to the interference of some negative emotions.
From the moment she entered Longmen, Su Anran's steps never stopped.
He found that the flow of time in the dragon gate was probably stagnant, because he had been walking for about half a day, but the scene in the dragon gate was still as bright and sunny as in the morning, and it did not enter noon as time went by.
And not only that, the changes in climate such as temperature and wind have not changed at all, as if everything in the world within Longmen has been constant.
Su Anran continued walking forward for about half a day.
Then he finally made sure.
Staying where you are.
The reason is simple. He deliberately drew an obvious mark on the ground with his sword energy to identify the location.
Then half a day passed, and Su Anran finally returned to the location of the sword mark - the feeling of moving forward did exist, and the feeling of fatigue coming from his body was not fake. But this feeling was like walking.
It's the same as on the Möbius strip, no matter how he walks or which direction he goes, he ends up back where he was.
Perhaps this is the reason why the entire world within Longmen does not seem to have changed at all, as if everything has been stabilized.
Su Anran's eyes turned to the rushing stream nearby.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Anran stretched out one foot and stepped on the water.
An extremely strong tingling sensation came from the foot instantly.
Su Anran suddenly retracted her right foot.
I saw that most of the boot on my right foot had been torn off by the rushing water.
"So that's it..." Su Anran suddenly understood.
The existence of the Dragon Gate is originally to allow the aquatic monsters to transform and evolve at the life level, so there is a saying of "a fish leaps over the Dragon Gate and transforms into a dragon".
In fact, when we were on Earth, there were also fables about this aspect.
But whether they are fables, metaphors or other related matters, these allusions have a very obvious feature.
countercurrent.
If you want to jump over the dragon gate, you must go upstream and go through many hardships before you can succeed.
This is actually a challenge.
In a fairy world, countercurrent is not difficult for monsters with special abilities. If they have enough skills, they can even reverse the flow of rivers, lakes and seas. Therefore, just a person who goes against the current will face the aquatic monsters.
There is no difficulty in speaking of course, which would run counter to the test of "Leaping over the Dragon Gate".
Therefore, fast-flowing streams can be aggressive to a certain extent.
Only by withstanding the wash of this aggressive stream and finally completing the "countercurrent" journey can we truly cross the dragon gate.
After thinking about this, Su Anran quickly took off her boots and placed her bare feet on the stream.
Anyway, if you step on streams while wearing boots, the water from these streams will corrode the boots completely, and they will not be able to provide any protection at all, so it is better not to wear them at all.
And Su Anran was also a little suspicious.
This rapid stream is obviously a "countercurrent test", and all aquatic monsters will definitely understand this. Therefore, if they prepare boots-type magic weapons, they will definitely be able to avoid the boots being damaged, thus reducing the difficulty of the test. But given the test and importance of Longmen
Taking sex as the starting point, the designer who originally made this layout must have thought of this, and simply considering the original intention of "testing", he naturally would not want anyone to jump over the gantry in such a tricky way.
Then, if you wear boots, you may suffer a stronger attack.
Su Anran was so suspicious.
In fact, all this was just as Su Anran had guessed.
When he took off his shoes and stretched his feet to touch the stream again, the strong tingling sensation disappeared.
Instead, there was a gentle itching.
It feels a bit like having a fish spa.
But somewhat helplessly, as soon as Su Anran put her feet into the stream, they naturally sank.
This is different from what he had in mind.
After thinking for a while, Su Anran circulated the Qi under his feet, and then by constantly adjusting the delivery volume and maintenance level of the Qi, he quickly mastered the trick and was finally able to officially step on the stream.
However, if Su Anran stood still under the rushing stream, he would continue to slide backwards.
The direction in which the stream extends happens to be the torii gate that divides the inner and outer boundaries of the dragon gate.
Su Anran had a clear understanding in his heart: if he was washed away by the stream, he would not be able to enter the Dragon Gate again - the only thing he didn't understand was whether he could not enter the Dragon Gate again this time or never again.
But it doesn't make any difference to Su Anran which one the result is.
If he can't stop the Great Sage Mirage this time, even if there is a chance to enter the Dragon Palace ruins again in the future, it will be meaningless.
But the problem is that even if Su Anran finally learns to "stand", he is still a little unnatural in "walking".
Due to the scouring problem of water flow, the water surface is not flat, but has undulations.
In this way, Su Anran's walking means that he needs to constantly adjust the flow of true energy in his body. If he cannot keep up with the changing speed of the water flow, it is not a big deal to step deeper and shallower. Taking one step back and three steps will allow Su Anran to truly
Feel helpless.
But at least Su Anran can feel that things are changing for the better.
…
"Eh?!"
"What's wrong, Sister Zhen?" Ao Wei asked when she saw Zhen Yue stopped in front of her.
At this time, under the leadership of Zhen Yu, Ao Wei came to a staircase.
There are at least a hundred steps, paved with some kind of pure white jade. They are about a hundred meters long, nearly thirty centimeters wide, and ten centimeters high.
At the top of the steps is a splendid palace building complex.
"The one named Su Anran is very smart." Zhen Yu raised his eyebrows, "He has discovered the correct path, and he should arrive here soon... After all, all the agencies along the way have been destroyed.
We destroyed it, and it was a smooth passage for him."
"Then it's up to me..."
"No need." Zhen Yu shook his head, "Longmen's 'Countercurrent' is originally aimed at aquatic monsters and has no impact on humans. But the 'Ladder' is different. What is tested here is personal willpower. But for those who have passed
For us who are tested by the 'Counter Current', the influence of the 'Ladder to Heaven' is almost non-existent... Outsiders don't know these secrets, so when that Su Anran breaks into this place rashly, it's unclear whether he can survive."
Ao Wei nodded to express her understanding.
"Next, once you step onto the 'ladder to heaven', calm down your mind and don't think about other unnecessary things. You just need to keep one thought."
"What are you thinking?" Ao Wei asked in confusion.
"Generally, aquatic monsters are dragons, but you are different." Zhen Yu turned his head and looked at Ao Wei, and said slowly, "You are already a real dragon, so you only have one thought... all of this is false.
"
"Is all this false?" Ao Wei's face became even more confused.
"No matter what you see or hear, as long as you understand that everything is false, that's enough."
"I... understand." Ao Wei took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
Zhen Yu reached out and touched Ao Wei's cheek gently, and then smiled and said: "You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. It's not a big deal even if you are immersed in your dreams. As long as I am here, you will be fine."
"Yes!" Ao Wei's cheeks were slightly red, but she still nodded vigorously.
"Let's go."
"good!"
Soon, Ao Wei stepped on the steps under the guidance of Zhen Yu.
The next moment, the look in Ao Wei's eyes disappeared.
The aura on his whole body also became ethereal, as if his soul had left his body.
The only thing that could prove that she was still alive was the faint sound of her heartbeat from time to time.
But soon, a strange scene appeared.
Ao Wei, who had clearly become like a puppet, stayed in place for two seconds, then slowly raised her right leg and stepped on the second step. After another pause, two seconds later,
She started to move her left leg again, and also stepped on the second step.
Repeatedly.
The third step, the fourth step, the fifth step...
Ao Wei only stayed on almost every white jade step for about three to five seconds, and the longest would not exceed seven seconds.
Seeing Ao Wei easily reaching the tenth level or above, Zhen Yu couldn't help but show a look of wonder on his face: "What a talent that would make ordinary aquatic demon cultivators envious. But..."
Zhen Yu turned around and glanced at the water flow behind him.
There was obviously nothing in the place, but Zhen Yu's eyes seemed to fall on Su Anran through the endless space.
With a gloomy expression on his face, the other party stepped on the rushing stream with one foot deep and one shallow foot - as if it was not a stream but a muddy land - although the pace was slow, it was full of a sense of determination and unsteadiness.
The moving breath.
"Time is running out." Zhen Yu shook his head, "I'm afraid this 'ladder to heaven' won't be able to trap him for long... No wonder Sir told me not to underestimate Tai Yigu."
…
Su Anran's mood was complicated.
He always felt that some conspiracy was brewing.
Because there is no reason for such a stream to make countless aquatic monsters feel desperate. Apart from a little bumping when he stepped deep and shallow, he did not encounter any danger. What kind of lurking in the stream is preparing to sneak attack and eat?
There are no human monsters, traps that appear suddenly, or water monsters that cannot be killed and can only be escaped quickly.
This made Su Anran, who was holding back her energy and ready to fight at any time, feel a little...
"The title is clearly about humans, beasts, long tongues, bondage, seven men fighting one woman, but I took off my pants, and you're going to show me a gourd baby?"
Su Anran felt very hurt physically and mentally.
Then when he saw the stairs in front of him that looked like white marble, he looked around and after confirming that there was no second way to the top, he finally stepped on it.
The next moment, a spinning dizziness hit him directly.
