It doesn't need any aura; its sheer size alone is enough to inspire awe and even fear.

The two flew for quite a while before they finally entered the gate.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a wisp of chaotic energy that would be enough to kill Li Changzhou. In the center of the chaotic energy sea, a blue stone road stretched all the way to the horizon.

Looking along the bluestone path, there is a Taoist altar with a strong presence on the horizon, with seven prayer mats placed below it.

The previously abyss-like chaotic sea of ​​qi was now like a small stream before the Dao Platform.

But who could mistake such a massive amount of chaotic energy for a small stream? The scene before them resembled the legendary sage 'Dao Ancestor' riding on a chaotic dragon.

You don't need to know much about sages; just seeing this scene, you'll know that the 'Taoist Ancestor' could roam freely in the universe back then.

In the past and present, nothing can hinder one from going to any time or any place.

The only thing we cannot go to is the future.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestor chose to unite with the Dao, and in the present moment, he made a desperate attempt to achieve the realm of "creation".

The two landed on the bluestone path, and as soon as they took a step forward, they felt as if a huge mountain had been placed on their backs.

It wasn't just about the weight; their entire being was being tested.

Yang Qinglan radiated a clear glow, and the Jade Pool flowed with rosy light. The two of them possessed an otherworldly temperament, like a pair of fairies. However, at this moment, they felt extremely strained, completely lacking the ease and transcendence of fairies.

They exchanged a glance, then continued walking along the bluestone path toward the distant, unreachable Daoist platform.

Yang Qinglan stopped after counting to three hundred steps.

"What's wrong?" Yaochi asked, turning around from the 301st step.

Yang Qinglan didn't speak, and Yaochi didn't press for details either, but remained vigilant about their surroundings.

The bluestone path was filled with chaotic energy on both sides. If you took a wrong step, you would fall into the abyss and be swallowed by the chaotic energy.

At that point, it's unclear whether they'll die from overeating or have their bodies completely destroyed by various energies before they die.

“We’ll never get there this way,” Yang Qinglan suddenly said.

Yaochi looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yang Qinglan closed her eyes and took a step forward.

Two steps later, Yaochi shouted, "Watch out!"

Yang Qinglan buried her right foot in the chaotic sea of ​​qi!

Caught off guard, she reached out and grabbed Yang Qinglan's right arm, but couldn't stop her from stepping down.

However, his right foot landed firmly on the sea of ​​chaotic energy—no, on the blue lotus that had blossomed within the sea of ​​chaotic energy.

Chaotic energy permeated the air, swirling around the green lotus like water vapor. Yang Qinglan stepped on it without touching the chaotic energy.

Yaochi watched this scene in surprise. Yang Qinglan turned around, a smile of relief spreading across her face, and said, "You must walk your own path."

After saying that, she walked out.

One by one, blue lotuses emerged from the chaotic sea of ​​qi, as if they had always been there, only previously obscured by the chaotic qi.

"Be careful," Yang Qinglan said as she walked. "Your path isn't easy. If you can't go on, don't force it. Stop and think it over."

"...Forget about whether I can keep going, where is my path?" Yaochi asked on the bluestone path.

"That's a question for you to ask yourself. Perhaps you can continue down that path, and maybe you'll discover what your true path is." Yang Qinglan has already come quite far.

The road was winding and arduous; her path was by no means a smooth, straight road to heaven. Sometimes she even had to leave and head towards the stone gate.

The blue lotus beneath my feet was sometimes whole, sometimes broken.

Fortunately, everyone has a place to stay and can continue on their journey.

Watching her retreating figure, Yaochi calmed down.

A numbing sensation spread throughout my body, my heart raced, and a surge of energy welled up inside me.

She turned her gaze away and stared at the high platform above.

Even in a training ground that tests one's cultivation talent, she refused to lose to Yang Qinglan!

She made up her mind, took a step forward, and remained steadfast.
