The waterfall gushes down with a roaring sound, and above it there is a rushing river that ordinary people cannot see, winding and majestic, leading directly to the immortal gate, shining with golden light and shrouded in mist.
puff--
Suddenly, with a sound of breaking water mixed with a roar, a red carp broke through the pool of water and rushed straight up, heading above the waterfall, swimming upstream against the impact of the waves.
It is difficult for ordinary people to stand steadily under this waterfall, but he has to face the sky and the wind and waves.
The downward water flow could not find a fulcrum and even kept washing and knocking the red carp down.
If it were an ordinary fish, it would have fallen down after jumping to this point.
The spiritual energy in the body circulates, constantly agitating and transforming into power to support the red carp to swim upstream.
I'm afraid swimming in the air would be easier and simpler than swimming over this waterfall.
The time for cultivation is still short. Even if Luo Zheyu is extremely talented, it is impossible for him to achieve success in cultivation in just a few days.
He concentrated on practicing the second volume of the Hehuan Tianwu Sutra, and actually broke through to the second level of Qi Refining mentioned therein, gaining a lot.
It's just that time is short and there is no time to practice magic. I just want to improve my cultivation. In the current situation, the most important thing is myself, so there is no need to use magic.
Snap——
As its strength faded, the red carp was about to fall back into the pool and be washed away by the water. It slapped its golden-red tail violently, lashing the falling water, causing water to splash everywhere. The red carp also used this force to continue swimming upstream.
This waterfall is a test of strength and physical endurance.
Strength is used to impact, while physical strength keeps the impact going.
If either of them is lacking, we will fall back into the pool.
This is not difficult for red carp.
The waterfall is fierce, but he is a carp that has become smart.
Soon, the red carp swam to the top of the waterfall against the waves and jumped -
Plop…
The red carp jumped into the long river that seemed real and illusory, and was instantly submerged by the rolling river, washing away.
The water flow of this river, which ordinary people cannot see, is much more powerful than that of a waterfall. He swam forward with all his strength and finally stopped without being washed away by the river. However, it was extremely difficult to move forward.
The dragon gate is indeed not that easy to jump over.
The fish's tail slapped the water surface, and the red carp repeated its old trick, using the reverse force to jump high out of the water.
From the perspective after jumping up, you can happen to see the golden dragon gate standing high in the air.
Just this one glance is enough to make people's hearts shaken and shocked.
He swam back and forth in the air until his remaining strength from jumping was exhausted, and then he fell heavily back into the water.
Waves splashed, but compared with the raging river itself, they were just insignificant little splashes.
“Crash…”
Beside him, a huge green carp about ten meters long was struggling forward with its head down.
He is not the only one who wants to leap over the Dragon Gate.
More fish swam past, some moved forward, some could not resist and were swept back by the current, disappearing in the river in the blink of an eye, never to be seen again.
Luo Zheyu concentrated his mind slightly, mobilized the last remaining spiritual power in his body, attached it to his whole body, and swam forward.
The water in my eyes is no longer water. The rolling, splashing and falling waves are like a falling mountain, hitting my body with heavy pressure; the water surging in front is like sharp arrows shot by thousands of troops, washing through my body, stinging my heart.
The pressure from all sides is constantly pressing in, and it is impossible to resist.
Tiny traces of blood seeped out from the scales of the red carp, but before they could flow out, they were carried away by the water flow and spread.
He gathered his strength and leaped up, floating above the river again, looking firmly at the dragon gate in front of him.
puff--
Fall back heavily.
His spiritual power was exhausted and his physical strength was too much. He didn't even have the strength to adjust his posture when falling into the water. He plunged into the water headfirst, his head dizzy, as if he would sink to the bottom of the river in the next moment, being washed down by the long river water and falling into the endless abyss.
The water temperature is freezing cold.
In an instant, the red carp seemed to have gone to the coldest winter. The water surface had not yet had time to freeze, and the river water was in its coldest state, freezing it to the bone. Its limbs were frozen numb, and the urge to sleep became stronger and stronger.
"My Lord..."
The Manifold Mirror shouted.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Luo Zheyu replied in his mind, smiling, "Fish can't close their eyes. I'm not used to sleeping with my eyes open."
He calmed himself down and began to use his own methods.
Soul power covers the body and propels it forward.
After swimming through that area, the temperature of the river water gradually returned to normal.
Looking back, I saw dozens of fish standing still in that section of the river, but the water flow did not slow down and washed them away to an unknown place in an instant.
Further ahead, the river water turned into boiling water.
It was even visible to the naked eye that the water was constantly rolling and boiling, and the smoke was everywhere, and the surrounding scenery was completely obscured by the smoke.
Only when a red carp swam through it did they become aware of it.
This boiling water is not an illusion.
It was really boiled, very hot!
All the fish scales were burned and turned upside down. When the water rushed over them, they fell off the fish's body and floated away in the river.
Forced to undress.
The red carp was scalded and turned into white carp.
Luo Zheyu felt that he was almost cooked. He seemed to smell the delicious aroma of boiling fish soup...
The river water, like sharp arrows piercing through the body, swung over and over again, rolling and surging endlessly.
If the feeling of being shot by sharp arrows just now was that of wearing protective armor, then the feeling now was that of taking off all protection and increasing the pain by 200 percent.
"snort……"
The red carp that turned into a "white carp" groaned, exerted all its strength, and swam even faster.
"Mirror, sing a song for me..."
The pain was unbearable, Luo Zheyu tried his best to divert his attention.
"Huh?" Wanmianjing was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
A sound of music rang in my mind.
"My lord, um... do you want to hear me sing or play the original song?" Wanmianjing asked embarrassedly.
“…You, sing…”
Luo Zheyu said in a suppressed voice, as if he was in great pain.
The fish fins were burned and as the water flowed away, the red carp was equivalent to losing an arm.
"Then I'll sing, ahem..."
"The red hollyhock flowers are so bright red! So bright red~"
Suddenly a sharp high-pitched voice rang through my mind.
Luo Zheyu's whole body trembled, and at that moment, the pain seemed to disappear.
After a pause, Wanmianjing said shyly, "How is it?"
"Hmm...very good."
"Hehehe, but I only like this line in this song. I only sing the climax. Can you sing another song for my Lord?"
"Um……"
The pain once again occupied most of the red carp's senses. The red carp tried desperately to swim out of the boiling water. Its soul power was almost exhausted. Finally, the water flow returned to normal.
However, the rapidly rushing water rushing over the scalded body was still unbearably painful.
The mist formed by water vapor dissipated, and the surrounding scenery was revealed.
The dragon gate that was high above and seemed to lead to the fairyland was one step closer to him.
Right at hand.
It seems to be within reach and can be flown over with just one leap.
But Luo Zheyu knew that this was just an illusion.
He no longer had enough strength and had to save it for the critical moment. If he used up all his strength now, he would not have another chance to jump up.
"My skateboard shoes are the most fashionable. On the way home, I can't help rubbing, rubbing, rubbing on the smooth ground..."
The Thousand-faced Mirror sang with ecstasy. After singing this part, he suddenly said, "My Lord, when I am fully restored and have a human body again, can you give me a pair of skateboard shoes?"
"Okay, I'll buy it when I get back."
Luo Zheyu's voice was restrained.
"Uh..." He suddenly groaned.
It turned out that the water in the long river was causing trouble again.
With a huge weight pressing down on him, the red carp was squeezed by gravity everywhere, as if it was going to push him to the bottom of the river.
"Ah~ Give me a cup of love water, so I won't cry for a night..."
The Thousand-Faced Mirror continued to sing seriously.
Not to mention, apart from the shocking high notes, the singing is quite nice.
It's just a little inexplicably shocking.
"Sweet, your smile is so sweet~"
"I smile when I see you, your graceful demeanor is so beautiful..."
The song of the Thousand-faced Mirror echoed in my mind.
A silver-white flame quietly burned in the long river.
Apart from "cheer", the flame did not play any role at this time, at least it could not help the red carp relieve pressure.
After using all the tricks, they were finally exhausted but still a little short of the goal.
"My Lord, it's almost there!"
"Um."
Luo Zheyu looked up at the Dragon Gate above his head.
The last bit of soul power is used to unlock the magic of the world in the sleeve.
A red bead was thrown out and caught in the mouth of the red carp.
If you don’t have enough strength, you can make up for it with props.
This is an energy bead obtained from the world of urban legends, and he has never tried to use it.
After all, I have never absorbed the energy in here before, so I don't understand it. At that time, I was either in a soul state or my real body. If I couldn't stop absorbing energy, my body would not be able to withstand so much energy and would explode and die. It is very dangerous, so there is no need to try it easily.
Now is the perfect time to use it.
The vast spiritual power instantly surged into the body, nourishing the meridians that had been dried up and over-drawn due to the depletion of spiritual power.
The red carp is full of strength again.
Not only that, after the spiritual energy was restored in the body, the red beads did not stop transmitting more spiritual energy, causing the meridians to swell slightly.
Boo...
It seemed as if a slight sound was heard.
His cultivation level unexpectedly broke through at this moment and reached the third level of Qi Refining as mentioned in the martial arts.
The towering and majestic Dragon Gate, surrounded by golden light, is surrounded by clouds and mist. A lifelike golden dragon is hovering on the gate pillar, with its teeth and claws bared and its bright eyes revealing majesty. It slightly lowers its head and looks down, and the waves of the river and the fish struggling in it are all in its sight. It seems like a living thing, as if it will move in the next moment and soar and swim in the sky.
Trying hard to ignore the pain all over his body, the red carp raised his head and looked at the dragon gate seriously, focusing his whole body and mind on the front, adjusting the spiritual energy in his body that had just been upgraded, and getting ready.
It soared straight into the sky and leaped towards the immortal gate that was shining with golden light and surrounded by immortal air.
He wasn't even sure what would happen after he jumped through this door.
But no matter which one it is, he has to jump over this dragon gate.
The red carp rushed into the dragon gate with an indomitable momentum.
At the moment he was about to jump through the door, a majestic and solemn voice suddenly rang through his mind.
"Through the Dragon Gate three times, one can finally become a dragon. After one leap, one can remove the tail and become a dragon. After two leaps, the two horns still remain in the mortal world. After three leaps, one can ascend to the Ninth Heaven."
"Do you still wish to turn into a dragon?"
Of course.
Responding in this way in his heart, he finally jumped over the high dragon gate.
It took a total of more than half a day, which was not a long time, but it was physically and mentally exhausting, especially the physical trauma.
There are few intact scales on the red carp's body. Because of burns all over its body, it looks like a sick carp.
However, the moment he jumped over the Dragon Gate, drizzles of rain fell gently, and the sky was brightly lit, with colorful lights illuminating this small piece of world.
The red carp began to change all over its body.
The fish body becomes elongated and thinner.
The golden-red scales grew back, but this time they were much larger than before and more lustrous.
