Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2949: Chapter 2948: Candidness

Dracula looked again at Lin Dong, and couldn’t help but salute:

”Brother Lin is impressive, not only breaking through the Reincarnation Space, but also refining the Reincarnation Eye and mastering the Power of Reincarnation.”

”The Reincarnation Space I encountered just now was created by Brother Lin, right?”

Lin Dong nodded slightly, not hiding anything, saying: ”Just now, I created that Reincarnation Fear Space for you. It can help you overcome your inner fears and breakthrough your Mental State.”

”Now it seems, the effect is quite good.”

Dracula this time performed a superbly standard Ancient European noble gratitude etiquette towards Lin Dong.

This is the highest form of gratitude etiquette.

”Thank you, Brother Lin, this time you’ve truly helped me greatly. You helped me move a step closer to truly touching the Secondary Ancestor level.”

Lin Dong waved his hand, laughingly said: ”To be honest, Brother Dracula, my intention wasn’t just to help you. I had some selfish motives, which was to verify the power of the Reincarnation Fear Space.”

”Now it seems, it surely is remarkable.”

”Haha, Brother Lin is truly frank. Brother Lin, regardless of how you view me, I, Dracula, genuinely want to be friends.”

”Oh? So, before, you weren’t sincere?” Lin Dong joked.

Dracula also candidly replied: ”Indeed, previously I wasn’t sincere. After all, our camps are different, you are a Dragon Country Warrior, and I am a member of the Ancient European Vampire clan. But now, I do not care about that. This friendship with Brother Lin, I truly want.”

”In the future, if Brother Lin ever needs something from me, Dracula, just call. Whether it’s climbing a mountain of swords or crossing a sea of fire, I can’t say I’ll always succeed, but as long as I can help, I will show up.”

Lin Dong smiled and nodded.

At the moment, he looked forward again.

”Brother Dracula, shall we continue forward? The Reincarnation Space here has been broken by me, and the normal stone steps have appeared,” Lin Dong said to Dracula.

He and Dracula, along with Ye Linglong, were currently in the passage that had just entered the stone steps of the Outer Hall.

Originally, they had just stepped from the Outer Hall into the underground stone steps passage, and without taking a few steps, they were already embroiled in the Reincarnation Space.

”The road ahead should not go wrong. Nine hundred ninety-nine steps will reach the Inner Hall.”

”Brother Lin, I absolutely did not deceive you. If you don’t believe, you can count the stone steps and see if it is the nine hundred ninety-nine steps I mentioned.”

”By the way, be careful that the last nine steps will produce a Heart Devil. At that time, I almost didn’t hear about it, but fortunately, I have a ’Holy Cross’ on me. It resisted the Heart Devil induced by the stone steps...”

”Oh? Holy Cross?” Upon hearing this, Lin Dong seemed a bit weird.

”Haha, Brother Lin must be wondering how I, a vampire, can carry a Holy Cross which counters Dark Power?”

”It’s because this Holy Cross was given to me by an elder I greatly respect. He handled it specially, so this Holy Cross does not harm me...”

”I see.” Lin Dong nodded, without wasting much more time, and stepped onto the stone steps leading to the Inner Hall.

Ye Linglong indeed counted in her mind.

When they walked for a while, suddenly a ’Blood Bat’ appeared.

And this time, the Blood Bats were not as dense as those in the Reincarnation Space.

”Let me handle it...” Dracula spoke, unleashing the Bloodline Power, and the Blood Bats dared not approach.

Lin Dong, Ye Linglong, and Dracula continued forward.

Their steps echoed on the stone steps, each step seemingly conversing with ancient powers.

A faint light emitted from Lin Dong, adding warmth and brightness to the deep hall path.

As the stone steps gradually rose, the air around seemed increasingly heavy.

The sediment of history and the mystery of the unknown intertwined, inspiring awe.

Finally, they reached the nine hundred ninety-ninth step, a seemingly ordinary yet significant node.

Here, the width of the stone steps seemed slightly increased, with complex and ancient runes carved on both sides, emitting a faint glow, like ancient guardians of the place, quietly watching every soul attempting to enter the Forbidden Place.

Dracula stopped, turned around, and his eyes shone with unique brilliance in the darkness, a depth from years and battles.

He slowly spoke, his voice deep and magnetic:

”The next nine steps are unlike any previous step. Here, it will awaken the deepest fear and the most unwilling-to-face Heart Devil within everyone.”

”They will appear in the most realistic and brutal form, testing our will and spirit.”

Ye Linglong, hearing this, slightly frowned, with a trace of subtle tension in her eyes.

Though her cultivation level is strong, facing such trials directly aimed at the heart inevitably fostered some unease.

In contrast, Lin Dong appeared calmer, as if in this world nothing could truly frighten him.

He also knew that to steady the true Martial Arts Peak, one must not only overcome external enemies but also conquer internal weakness and fear.

Seeing this, Dracula’s lips curled into a faint smile, and he slowly spoke:

”I’ll go first, to lead the way for you.”

His tone was full of confidence.

This confidence was not blind but stemmed from his rich experience and the recent transformation.

Recalling the experience in the Reincarnation Fear Space created by Lin Dong, Dracula’s heart surged with unprecedented strength.

There, he not only faced his deepest inner fears but also, with Lin Dong’s help, broke the shackles that long bound his Mental State, achieving spiritual transcendence.

Therefore, regarding the potential Heart Devils from these steps, Dracula bore little fear.

He knew that as long as he maintained clarity and resilience in his heart, any Heart Devil was merely an illusory bubble, easily broken.

Moreover, he had visited once before. Last time, relying on the Holy Cross, he had already crossed it once.

So this time, he had no fear.

After speaking, he took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and stepped onto the first of the last nine steps, his figure instantly merging into the mysterious domain surrounded by ancient runes.

It could be seen that after ascending these nine steps, he paused on each step for quite a duration.

The first step, he paused for about three minutes.

The second step, he paused for ten minutes.

The subsequent times grew progressively longer.

By the ninth step, he paused for nearly a full hour.

”Wow～～～” And after he passed the last ninth step, his figure disappeared from the sight of Lin Dong and Ye Linglong.

Clearly, he had passed through this stone step area to the Inner Hall.

Following his disappearance, Lin Dong and Ye Linglong were left at this critical fork, each preparing for the imminent challenge.
