Chapter 960: Chapter 960: Opportunity and Trap

This is really too much of a blow, of course, you also feel genuinely happy for Wu Zhao.

You further confirmed that she was Zhao’er, but according to the order of the Map of Kingdom, you were unable to acknowledge her openly; it was as if everyone was acting, playing different roles.

Yet, this feeling was also very wonderful; no wonder some celebrity couples enjoyed acting together, as it felt like falling in love all over again.

On the other hand, you were pleasantly surprised to find that after entering the "Opening Light Realm," Wu Zhao’s appearance had become much younger than before, with her temples no longer graying but only having a few silver strands, and the wrinkles on her face greatly reduced, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.

You gave some tips and methods about training, and the members had already learned the Infinite Bagua Formation themselves; what they lacked was understanding among each other and also in terms of their realm. And once you broke through to the "Resting Door," you could cultivate with all the team members, by which time their cultivation speed would increase dramatically with your help.

To break through, you specifically found a place with a waterfall.

Following the original pathway to breakthrough, you first condensed the Original True Qi inside your body into a mass, then began to strike at the "Resting Door" of the remaining Seven Gates of Emperor Ditian set deep within your soul.

Previously, it would take two days to absorb your Original True Qi to full, but now it took four to five days.

Moreover, during the breakthrough by condensing the Heavenly Aura, the pain was even more intense than before; with every strike, you would spit out blood.

This kind of pain could not be healed by the power of the "Gate of Life"; it was like a brand on the outstretched injury of your soul, with no way to brush it off, only to let it heal naturally.

And all the Original True Qi inside your body could only sustain ten of your strikes; after ten times, you had to endure the severe pain and absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth again.

With every spit of blood, you could feel a slight loosening of the "Resting Door."

Thus continued, around twenty days later, you suddenly felt a crack had been opened in the "Resting Door," then you began to strike wildly. Finally, on the next day’s early morning, accompanied by your long howl, the entire mountain body behind the waterfall was shattered by the suddenly bursting force from within your body.

During the landslide, with a flash, you had already appeared a kilometer away on flat ground.

At this time, with your upper body bare, your firm, rock-like muscles exuded limitless male charm, and if Wu Zhao were there, she would definitely find you even more attractive than before. Of course, this attractiveness was merely spiritual; your appearance hadn’t really changed much.

Standing on the flat ground, feeling the gentle breeze passing around, you were like a leaf fluttering in the wind. Then, a surprising scene occurred: your 1.8-meter-tall, nearly 200-pound body floated up just like a leaf, sometimes flipping in the air, sometimes falling to the grass.

Finally, you lay on a lush patch of grass, looking up at the azure sky.

With the "Gate of Life" open, you discovered that your speed of absorbing Original True Qi hadn’t increased but decreased, yet the quality of your Original True Qi had improved significantly, purer and more concentrated than before.

As for the power of "Open Gate," you didn’t attempt it because just as you were lying on the ground resting, you saw four beams of light flash across the sky. With your sharp eyes, you spotted a familiar yet unfamiliar figure—Ma Linghan!

Your eyes darted about, and your body vanished from its spot, only to reappear running at high speed through the woods, barely a step slower than Ma Linghan and the others flying in the sky. Moreover, your running was silent, fast as a sweeping breeze.

After flying a distance, Ma Linghan and the others landed. From hundreds of meters away, you saw that the group of four were all handsome men and beautiful women, each with an ethereal demeanor, carrying longswords on their backs.

With the wind, you vaguely heard their conversation.

"Brother Lin, ever since we left the Sect Master, you haven’t told us the purpose of this trip. Can you tell us now?" The speaker was a woman about twenty years old, with a pretty appearance, though still not quite on par with Ma Linghan, and her chin too sharp, her mouth too large, her nose too pointed—she wasn’t your type.

The Brother Lin looked to be about thirty years old, his face exuding stability. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Elder Han Qiu has calculated that within a hundred miles of here, a treasure will appear, and he has sent us here to investigate. If there truly is a treasure, we must bring it back to the sect."

"We all have at least the ’Condensing Pill Realm’ cultivation level. Are we still afraid of some mountain demons and little monsters?"

"Other Immortal Sects can naturally predict the emergence of treasures as well, so this trip is fraught with danger and unpredictable elements. We better be cautious—huh?" Brother Lin suddenly turned his head in the direction you were hiding, startling you into thinking you had been exposed, "The treasure will appear soon, everyone be careful!"

At that moment, Ma Linghan and the others shot towards the high mountain behind you.

After they all left, you slowly stood up. For some reason, at that moment, a faint voice seemed to be calling you, beckoning you to turn and look at the towering mountain peak behind you, hesitation written on your face.

Should you follow?

Thinking that the treasure could possibly be the weapon you had been desperately searching for, you steeled your heart and thought to yourself, "Never mind, even if it’s a trap, I must give it a shot!"

You hesitated briefly, then made up your mind and raced towards the top of the mountain after the others.

Being part of the Immortal Sect, once Ma Linghan and the others entered the "Opening Light Realm," they began to study the Object Manipulation Skill, and upon entering the "Condensing Pill Realm," they were able to rely on the Immortal Sect Secret Technique to manipulate objects and fly. You, on the other hand, relied solely on your leg strength and a bizarre movement technique, which you had realized after breaking through the "Resting door" and had named the Piaomiao technique.

The essence of Piaomiao, drifting with the wind, flowing with the water; faintly discernible, seemingly there yet not.

After mastering the Piaomiao technique, not only had your speed increased, but during close combat, you could completely avoid most attacks from enemies, including some spells like the Decisive Sword Rain’s physical attack.

When you quietly reached the mountaintop, you found a broad plain, and in the middle of that plain stood an abruptly large rectangular rock. The rock was tall, likely seventy to eighty meters high, requiring about ten people to fully encircle it.

Around the rock, not a single plant grew, only scattered rubble.

Needless to say, such a place definitely harbored something unusual!
