Weapon Master

Yun Xiu wasn’t in a hurry to move. He quietly stood where he was, carefully inspecting the situation within a two meter radius around him.

From his judgement, if he did not move after entering the cloud tunnel, he should not encounter any danger. Therefore, he must try to understand as much of this cloud tunnel as possible during this period of time.

After a long time, Yun Xiu let out a sigh and took a step.

On the high platform, the hearts of many Empyreans tightened as they stared at Yun Xiu.

This was the third Empyrean to enter the cloud channel!

Tang Huan’s performance was too perfect, it was nothing to be relied on, and Dai Yi’s performance was too poor, so it could not be used as a reference. Perhaps, some clues could be seen from Yun Xiu’s body regarding the condition of the Cloud Mist Passage … She hoped that Yun Xiu would be able to hold on for a long time.

Of course, it would be best if the cloud elementalist could successfully pass through the cloud tunnel. Only by doing so could everyone regain their confidence.

If he also dispersed his soul like Dai Yi did, it would deal a huge blow to everyone’s information. If even the eighth rank, Yun Xiu, was unable to withstand it, how about others?

One step, two steps … Five steps, six steps …

Eight steps!

On the cloud path, Yun Xiu’s expression suddenly changed. He suddenly took a step back. Everyone on the tall platform felt their hearts skip a beat when they saw this.

At this moment, in front of Yun Xiu, a cloud of misty white air rushed out from the bottom of the passageway like a column of smoke. It only dispersed after reaching a few meters in the air and melted back into the passage.

Upon catching sight of this scene, the other Empyreans on the stage all gasped in relief, their hearts pounding.

Just now, if Yun Xiu hadn’t taken that step back, that ball of Qi would have crashed into him. If his body had been touched, Yun Xiu would have immediately done the same as Dai Yi. Luckily, Yun Xiu had noticed this beforehand and reacted fast enough, which had saved his life.

In addition, Yun Xiu and Dai Yi were in different places when they were in danger. From this, it could be seen that Gu Daozi’s earlier judgement was correct. Within the cloud mist tunnel, danger could appear at any time. One could learn from the successes of others, but they definitely couldn’t follow through with it. Otherwise, they would die very soon... Everyone felt their hearts tremble, but they still felt a sense of fear …

Although danger may be a threat, judging from Yun Xiu’s reaction, he should be able to detect that danger ahead of time.

Even if he couldn’t be like Tang Huan, being able to avoid danger, or even be affected by danger, it was still possible to be like Yun Xiu and successfully dodge it.

”That was close!”

Above the cloud tunnel, the Yun cultivator also felt a lingering fear.

Just a moment ago, he only had to hesitate, but now, there was no one like him in this world. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough. However, even though he had successfully escaped this calamity, not only did Yun Xiu not relax, he even felt an even greater pressure. Before he could even reach ten meters, it was already so dangerous …

Would he really be able to walk thousands of meters safely?

With this thought, Yun Xiu calmed his heart and quickly walked forward. At that moment, he no longer had time to think. The cloud path was constantly changing. Right now, the place where they were standing was still safe, but if they continued to stand there, they would become extremely dangerous.

This time, Yun Xiu walked more than ten steps before he encountered danger again, but he was still able to avoid it.

He took another seven steps and encountered a third danger …

… ….

Under the close attention of dozens of gazes, Yun Xiu walked closer and closer to the cloud path. On the high platform, many Empyreans had smiles on their faces.

”Senior Yun Xiu is almost halfway through. It seems like he’s not as dangerous as we imagined.”

”Haha, it’s all because we’re scaring ourselves.”

”Heavenly Master Yun can always avoid danger and travel so far away. It seems like our minds can be useful in the Cloud Mist Passage. As long as we investigate carefully, we should be able to detect it ahead of time, just like what Heavenly Master Yun Xiu did.”

”That’s right, Sky Sovereign Dai Yi was too careless. He kept following Tang Huan’s route, which was why he encountered such an accident. If we want to pass through the tunnel successfully, we have to follow our own feelings. ”

”...”

Many of the Empyreans grouped together in groups of twos and threes and muttered amongst themselves. All of them revealed eager expressions.

”I won’t wait any longer. I’ll give it a try as well!”

A tall and sturdy green-robed man could no longer hold himself back. He laughed out loud, and before he finished speaking, he had already shot forward like a lion that had just escaped from its cage. By the time everyone had regained their senses, the green robed man had already appeared on top of the cloud passage.

”Everyone, this old man is about to begin as well!”

After the azure-robed man, another skinny old man left the platform and entered the cloud tunnel.

The cloud tunnel was quite wide. Not just the azure-robed man and the skinny elder; even the dozens of people on the platform would be able to fit inside if they moved.

With the azure-robed elder and his son leading the way, it only took a short period of time for ten people to arrive at the cloud passage.

”Senior Brother, we …”

”Too much!”

On the high platform, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji were about to make a move. On top of the Cloud Mist Passage, Yun Xiu had already walked a roughly ordinary distance, and Tang Huan, who had set out early, had already climbed quite a distance when he arrived at the peak of the mountain. If they were to take action now, they might have the chance to catch up with Yun Xiu, or even Tang Huan.

Got it.

If Tang Huan reached the summit of the mountain and obtained the precious treasure that could help them prove their existence as gods, then they would be filled with regret.

”No rush!”

Gu Daozi was as calm as ever. He lightly waved his hand, closed his eyes, and even sat down on the high platform.

Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay when they saw this.

Not too far away, Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye, and Ji Qingtian all exchanged glances. They weren’t like the other Empyreans, encouraged by Yun Xiu’s performance and didn’t rush into the passageway. On the cloud path, Yun Xiu continued to walk forward step by step. He didn’t notice that there were already many Empyreans behind him. Of course, even if he did discover them, he wouldn’t care. Others had only seen him avoid danger time and time again, but they had no idea that he was completely drenched in sweat …

Through …

Moreover, from the beginning till the end, he had continuously pushed his mental strength to the limit, causing his soul to become increasingly tired. Now, as an expert ranked eighth on the Supreme Ranking, he actually felt that his strength was slightly insufficient.

It was even difficult to maintain the detection range of the surroundings within a two meter radius. He had only walked halfway. With his current condition, Yun Xiu wasn’t very confident that he could make it out of the remaining half.
