The top female cultivator in the cultivation world, Jiang Deng, was imprisoned and killed by her seven disciples after rejecting their confessions of love. A thousand years later, she is reborn and...
Jiang Deng waved her arms and kicked her legs, trying to float to the surface, but... it was no use, her body kept sinking.
Since you can't go out, then don't go out!
Jiang Deng was not giving up on herself, but she found that she could breathe freely underwater. If that was the case, why did she have to swim out?
Realizing that this was the key to breaking through, Jiang Deng closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let himself fall to the bottom of the lake...
A quarter of an hour later, she finally reached the bottom of the lake.
Through the clear lake water, you can clearly see that the bottom of the lake is densely packed with human-shaped bones.
It seems that just as Danqing said, the bottom of the lake is full of the corpses of geniuses who entered the secret realm in the past and tried to obtain the inheritance.
I'm afraid they never thought until their death that the "Eight Gates Kung Fu" had already appeared in front of them. It appeared on the runes on the teleportation array after each level was completed.
The answer was clearly right in front of them, but none of them noticed, and thus they died helplessly at this level...
The moment his feet touched the bottom of the lake, the scene in front of Jiang Deng changed again.
The scorching sun baked the earth, and the moisture in Jiang Deng's body was evaporating rapidly. He soon became dizzy and his mouth was dry and astringent.
What's going on?
Jiang Deng wiped the sweat from his forehead. If the previous level was to comprehend the rune of life and go deep into the bottom of the lake, then what should he do in this level?
"The second difficulty is the disaster of chasing the sun."
Danqing's voice rang out again overhead, "Unless you can find the right direction, the further you go, the closer you'll get to the sun, until you're baked dry in the scorching sun."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng tried to find the right direction, but ended up walking aimlessly on the dry riverbed, passing by one dried corpse after another.
Her eyes became increasingly blurry, and her mouth and nose became increasingly dry...
no!
If she continues like this, she will really be dried up and left to keep company with these mummies!
Jiang Deng had no choice but to try to operate his eight extraordinary meridians according to the operating rules of the remaining six runes, just like he did in the lake.
Because her eyes and mouth and nose were the most uncomfortable, Jiang Deng decisively started trying these two places first. In fact, just as she guessed, after trying for a while, she finally got some results.
"Dumen, open!"
"Jingmen, open!"
In an instant, Jiang Deng's vision became clear, the discomfort in his mouth and nose disappeared, and his vision and sense of smell improved by more than ten times!
Jiang Deng could even look directly at the sun and see that it was slowly descending to the west, so he decisively headed towards the west, where it was farther away from the sun.
In addition, with the help of her powerful sense of smell, she could even smell the scent of damp soil several kilometers away. Without any hesitation, Jiang Deng hurried there.
After a while, the surrounding environment became much cooler, and a stream appeared in front of him. It seemed that Jiang Deng had really found the right route.
When he came to the stream, Jiang Deng bent down, scooped up a handful of clear water, and took a sip. He felt refreshed all over, and his whole body was instantly freed from the hot state he had just been in.
The next moment, the environment in front of me changed again.
"No way, again! Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Deng watched speechlessly as the stream in front of her disappeared, replaced by yellow sand all over the sky. The cold wind raged, making her body tremble uncontrollably.
Danqing: "The third difficulty is the hurricane disaster. Please find the right place to take shelter."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Deng did not search aimlessly this time. She looked through the seven runes she had obtained in her sea of consciousness. She had already used three of them, and now only four runes were left unused.
If you are looking for a shelter, what do you need?
Jiang Deng thought about it and chose to add the runes to his ears and torso.
The strength of her torso can resist the invasion of cold wind, and the strength of her ears can enhance her hearing, allowing her to identify where the wind is weaker in the whistling wind, so that she can find a place to take shelter.
"Open the door, open the door, open!"
Suddenly, Jiang Deng's body defense was greatly improved. She estimated that she must have the strength of the middle stage of the Jindan realm. The cold wind and yellow sand outside were like a tickle to her.
Immediately afterwards, his hearing also improved. Jiang Deng could clearly hear where the wind was weaker in all directions, and he decisively went towards the direction where the wind was weaker.
Soon, Jiang Deng found a big tree and took shelter behind it.
The next moment, the scene changed again!
Jiang Deng: “…”
She felt numb from the constant changes.
The first thing Jiang Deng felt was the biting cold. She was pressed under a snowy mountain with only her head exposed.
Looking around, snow-capped mountains rise and fall, all covered in white.
Jiang Deng narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that this scene was very familiar. She seemed to have been to such a snowy place in her previous life, and seemed to have met a child...
Before Jiang Deng could clearly see the child's face, heavy pressure suddenly came over her, as if to crush her whole body!
"Cough cough cough! Someone's going to die!"
Jiang Deng's face turned red because of the pressure from the snow-capped mountains above him.
"Oh!"
Danqing chuckled, "The fourth difficulty is the snow mountain disaster. As time goes by, the snow mountain pressing on you will become heavier and heavier. In order to avoid being crushed into a meat pie, you'd better find a way to leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Deng: "...I'm a human, not a monkey! You wouldn't treat me like this, would you?"
"This is the level set by Venerable Wei Yan. It's useless to tell me. If you want to find someone, go find him." Dan Qing fell silent after he finished speaking.
Jiang Deng had no choice but to cheer up. While moving his body according to the operating rules of the Xiumen runes to withstand the increasing pressure of the snow mountain, he also studied the remaining two runes.
Not surprisingly, these two runes should be used on the arms and legs.
"Shock Gate, Injury Gate, open!"
After a moment, the aura of Jiang Deng's arms and legs became condensed and powerful. She gritted her teeth, supported the snow mountain with her hands, pushed the ground with her feet, and lifted herself up with force.
“Ah!”
With a loud shout from Jiang Deng, she finally lifted the entire snow mountain and threw it behind her.
Bang!
The entire snow mountain fell down in an instant, and the earth shook.
Jiang Deng turned his head and saw that the snowy mountain had five branches, like a giant's hand. It really looked like the mountain that had pressed down on Monkey King...
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. "Why is it called Snow Mountain? Why not just call it Five Finger Mountain?"
"Once you have completely integrated the key to the secret realm, you can change it to Five Claw Mountain if you want. Now..."
Danqing's voice rang out again, "Congratulations on passing the eight-level assessment and obtaining the inheritance left by Venerable Wei Yan, the complete divine-level body-refining technique, 'Eight Gates Gongfa'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rune appeared under Jiang Deng's feet.
This is the eighth rune of the "Eight Gates Kung Fu", the Death Gate Rune!
