Chapter 2415: Ye Xiaofei’s Determination
Compared to those rabbits and the black silhouette within the God Burying Mansion, this elder is clearly the most spiritually attuned among the many Guardians.
Or perhaps, he himself was a soul, a Divine Soul.
His wisdom was not completely erased.
In certain aspects, Su Han even felt...
This elder should possess some relationship with those three Imperial Beings!
Not just an ordinary master-servant relationship, but closer than that.
Of course, these thoughts aren’t what Su Han ought to be preoccupied with right now.
The difficulty of crossing the three-thousand-zhang bridge was already vividly demonstrated on Ling Xiao, a Sub-Immortal Level individual.
Xiang’er and the Destruction Empress, Su Han wasn’t worried about them, his concern was for Ye Xiaofei.
Even possessing that giant human face, Ye Xiaofei’s cultivation base was only at the Seventh Grade Heavenly Emperor Realm, which still significantly lagged behind Ling Xiao.
"Can you make it?" Standing at the three-thousand-zhang mark, Su Han looked at Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei’s gaze flickered, taking a deep breath: "I’ll try."
"Do your best," Su Han said.
"Alright," Ye Xiaofei nodded.
As the words fell, her cultivation base, at the Seventh Grade Heavenly Emperor Realm, surged directly to its peak.
"Wow!"
At that moment, the elder again waved his hand, saying to Ye Xiaofei and Su Han and others: "To save time, I will open the three-thousand-zhang light barrier for all four of you at once. Whether you can cross, that’s up to you."
"Thank you, Senior," Su Han clasped his fists.
"Senior?"
The elder’s golden light trembled, almost dissipating, and Su Han felt that in that instant, his tone was almost choked.
But quickly, the elder recovered.
Without saying much, he just stood there, quietly watching.
Under his gaze, Ye Xiaofei began her assault.
From two thousand eight hundred zhang to three thousand zhang, there were twenty light barriers.
Under her peak cultivation base, the first, second, third, fourth...
Up to the fifteenth, all were easily shattered!
However, at the sixteenth barrier, the impact lasted for three seconds before it shattered.
Seventeenth barrier, Ye Xiaofei was pushed back, striking again, cracks appeared and held for ten seconds before vanishing.
At the eighteenth barrier, Ye Xiaofei was pushed back again, and again, three times.
The light barrier roared continuously, and Ye Xiaofei’s power of cultivation bombarded like mountains, causing the barrier to tremble under the pressure of the Peak Heavenly Emperor Realm.
After two hours, the barrier shattered, revealing ten zhang of bridge right before Ye Xiaofei.
Yet, at this moment, Ye Xiaofei’s face was pale, much like Ling Xiao before, clearly greatly drained.
She gasped heavily, looking at the final two light barriers, eyes full of unwillingness.
She knew this was her limit.
Just twenty zhang short...
Just twenty zhang short!
If she could cross these twenty zhang, break the final two barriers, she, too, could attain the final Eternal Dao Technique.
And in her heart, Ye Xiaofei now was not merely after the Eternal Dao Technique.
Her cultivation base had consistently been a grade higher than Ling Xiao, surpassed by him in the God Burying Mansion; Ye Xiaofei wasn’t resentful, but she couldn’t quite accept it.
It’s not that she didn’t wish for Ling Xiao to be stronger, but she herself was inherently competitive.
For her to go from a servant always at risk of losing her life to this level today is truly filled with hardship and struggles.
The more so, the more she cherishes everything at this moment.
Before Su Han, she didn’t want to seem weaker than others, nor did she want Su Han to be disappointed in her.
So she tried and tried again, until before the God Burying Mansion, in the Phoenix Sect, beneath Su Han, purely based on cultivation, she ranked First!
"Only twenty zhang left..."
Ye Xiaofei looked back at Su Han, biting her silver teeth: "I’ve come this far thanks to Sect Master’s support, I absolutely can’t let him down, these twenty zhang, no matter the cost, I must cross, I must cross!!!"
"You can do it."
At this point, Su Han’s voice came over.
Ye Xiaofei’s body trembled at the sight of Su Han nodding at her, filled with earnestness and confidence: "You still have potential, beyond the three-thousand-zhang bridge; but this mere twenty zhang, it can’t stop you."
Others may not know, even Ye Xiaofei herself might not be aware, but Su Han alone knew, on Ye Xiaofei, there was still that giant human face!
Until this moment, that face hadn’t appeared.
"Really?"
Ye Xiaofei clenched her slender hand: "If Sect Master says I can cross, then I surely can cross!"
"I’ll risk it!!!"
With gritted teeth, Ye Xiaofei released her hand, raising it slightly, presenting it straight.
She swallowed great amounts of the Pill, even consuming some medicinal ingredients from the Fortune-bringing Pavilion.
Although wasteful, she couldn’t care about that now.
Her goal was only the twenty zhang ahead!
"Open for me!!!"
"Wow!"
Her palm shaped into a blade; her infinite cultivation power poured into it at once.
The palm blade took form, vast and mighty, as if to pierce the sky.
𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
A tremendous pressure emanated from it, its aura even matching an Imperial Artifact.
"Boom!!!"
The palm blade sliced into the light barrier with a piercing sound from it.
"Pfft!"
Ye Xiaofei spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, as if struck by rebounding force.
Yet her eyes were resolute and decisive, the palm blade showed no sign of retreat or dispersal!
The confrontation seemed unyielding, but as time went on, the nineteenth light barrier seemed unable to hold.
Su Han tossed out more pills.
Ye Xiaofei grabbed them, continuously swallowing, instantly refining, transforming them into power to bolster the palm blade.
Two hours passed, then another two...
By the third hour——
"Slash!"
The light barrier, akin to transparent glass, suddenly showed a crack.
And this first crack became a fuse, spreading out, fracturing into countless tiny cracks!
Until finally, with a boom, the nineteenth light barrier succumbed, crumbling completely!
"Pfft!"
Simultaneously, Ye Xiaofei spat more fresh blood.
The blood trickled past her mouth, soaking her collar red, but she hardly cared!
"The final barrier..."
"Just one last barrier left!!!"
