#1898 - The second leather scroll
Jun Wuxie ignored those prodigies and glanced at Fan Hai and Qi Huang as he continued towards the mountain peak.
Fan Hai and Qi Huang were also in a sorry state, having struggled to reach such a height.
Although they were among the leading group of prodigies, their position was relatively behind.
In terms of strength, they were clearly weaker than the few at the very front.
Fan Hai and Qi Huang gave Jun Wuxie bitter smiles.
They felt they might not be able to pass the trial of this secret realm.
There was still some distance to the flat ground at the mountainside.
Although they could still move forward and had not reached their limit, the power of the Order Lightning continued to increase as they ascended.
"Have confidence in yourselves, you can do it."
Jun Wuxie left these words and then strode forward.
His steps seemed slow, but with each step, his body left behind a trail of afterimages, as he strolled leisurely amidst the raging thunder.
No matter how violent the lightning, no matter how the Order Lightning struck, it could not cause him the slightest harm.
This demeanor was truly invincible, shocking and unbelievable.
To what extent had that legendary physical body been cultivated to achieve such a feat?
One must know how powerful such Order Lightning was; any Eternal Little Giant would find it difficult to withstand even with all their might, and they might risk perishing if they did not retreat in time.
After all, this was the lightning that was said to grant one the potential to become a god if they could withstand it!
Yet, that legendary youth did not dodge or evade, and without any defensive measures, he allowed the lightning to strike him.
And this was under the circumstance that he was suffering from the Dao Wound of Origin!
It was simply outrageous!
Those prodigies who were competitive and wanted to win against him in this round had their limits of life's perception completely overturned at this moment.
How could there be such a heaven-defying person in this world!
At this moment, they finally understood what some prodigies had said.
Being born in this great era was both a blessing and a misfortune.
Living in the same era as such a person was even more of a tragedy.
No matter how outstanding or amazing you were, once you encountered that legend, all the glory would be dimmed, and all eyes would be focused on that legend.
Soon, they saw that the legend had already reached the flat ground at the mountainside!
Despite being the last to enter the secret realm and lagging behind them for so long, he had now become the first to pass the trial of the secret realm.
They deeply realized the gap between people.
No, it should be the gap between themselves and that legend.
If it were any other strong person of the same generation, they believed they would not be much weaker.
Only this legend made them truly look up to him, the gap was too great, reaching a point where they could not even harbor jealousy.
"Just be yourself, why bother comparing yourself to him?
You must know that throughout the ages, there has only been one of him, a well-deserved legend!"
They finally admitted it completely from the bottom of their hearts.
They continued to move forward with difficulty, resisting the Order Lightning, using all kinds of methods.
Mystical techniques, weapons, armor, and so on, were all used to resist the bombardment of the Order Lightning.
Even so, they were bombarded by the lightning tribulation, looking miserable, and the higher they went, the more terrifying the destruction of the physical body by the lightning tribulation became.
Fan Hai and Qi Huang were also the same.
At this time, Fan Hai radiated boundless golden light, with a huge Buddha shadow floating behind him, and Buddhist Sanskrit characters swirling around his body, evolving into a golden bell covering his body.
The Order Lightning continued to bombard down, causing his golden bell to ring loudly. Each time it was hit, the golden bell would be deeply dented, and large cracks would appear on the bell wall.
Jun Wuxie did not continue forward after arriving at the flat ground at the mountainside, but stopped and looked back, just in time to see this scene.
He could not help but be startled.
Fan Hai was actually using the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power of Buddhism.
However, there was something wrong with Fan Hai's Vajra Indestructible Divine Power; the secret technique was incomplete.
Qi Huang was also the same, using a set of saber techniques, dancing with ten thousand saber lights, forming a saber energy barrier with strong defensive power.
However, facing the Order Lightning, his saber light barrier was also on the verge of collapse at any time.
There were also a few people behind them who were struggling even harder than they were.
Those few who were walking in front of them were also in a terrible state, with bones exposed from being bombarded by the Order Lightning, looking ghastly white.
Rumble!
Crack!
The Order Lightning roared down, the lightning gale domineering and unmatched!
It was only tens of meters away from the flat ground at the mountainside.
However, this distance of tens of meters had become a chasm that was difficult for those prodigies to cross.
The thick lightning, with its constantly increasing power, directly shattered all their defensive measures.
In an instant, this group of prodigies at the forefront were all bombarded to the ground, their backs split open, and even their spinal bones were exposed.
With this strike, they were all severely injured!
This time, it was not just the physical body that was injured.
Because the power of lightning contained too domineering order, their blessed caves were impacted, with some cracks appearing, and their wheels of life were also impacted.
"We can't give up, we must pass the trial, otherwise we will lose the opportunity to go to the next level, and we will not be able to step into the God Realm on this Eternal Road!"
Those prodigies gritted their teeth, and although their physical bodies were already tattered and miserable, they still crawled on the ground, biting their teeth, crawling towards the end.
At this time, Fan Hai and Qi Huang were also bombarded to the ground by the lightning.
Just as they thought they might have to pay a heavy price this time as the lightning tribulation rained down, they found that at the moment the lightning tribulation bombarded them, a force flowed out from their limbs and bones, instantly absorbing and obliterating all the power of lightning.
What's going on?
Fan Hai and Qi Huang were both surprised and delighted, unable to understand.
When did they have such power in their bodies?
That power was clearly not their own; where did it come from?
Soon, they remembered that before entering the secret realm, Divine Lord Jun had patted them both on the shoulders.
At that time, they felt a force enter their bodies.
"It's the power that Divine Lord Jun left in our bodies!"
Fan Hai and Qi Huang looked at each other and immediately understood everything.
Divine Lord Jun was not checking their strength at all, but deliberately left power in their bodies to help them resist the Order Lightning in the secret realm!
This power not only helped them obliterate the power of lightning, but also generated majestic life energy, nourishing their limbs and bones, instantly healing their injuries.
The originally weak them suddenly felt their bodies filled with power, and their energy and spirit instantly returned to their peak state.
The two suddenly stood up, their bodies flowing with brilliant light.
The Order Lightning that filled the sky bombarded them, but could no longer harm them in the slightest.
Such a scene shocked the other prodigies who were undergoing the trial, unable to understand why those two were suddenly not afraid of the power of lightning, and instantly changed from a weak state to being full of vigor!
Fan Hai and Qi Huang both cast grateful and worshipful gazes at Jun Wuxie.
At this moment, their hearts were incomparably fervent.
Originally, they were admirers of Jun Wuxie.
After this incident, their respect for him in their hearts had reached an unparalleled level.
The people outside the secret realm who witnessed this scene also felt incredible and began to discuss it.
"Ah—"
On the mountain road near the flat ground at the mountainside, a prodigy let out a heart-rending roar.
Their physical bodies were almost bombarded to the point of disintegration by the Order Lightning.
But they still refused to give up, crawling on the ground with their broken bodies, their ten fingers inserted into the soil and bluestone, moving forward little by little.
Jun Wuxie could not help but shake his head.
He didn't really care that these prodigies were competing with him at the beginning.
He could understand the mentality of these prodigies.
In this era, encountering him would indeed make them feel sad.
He didn't really want to either, but the light on his body did overshadow their light, making them jealous and feeling unbalanced.
This was a normal mentality, the process of emotional change in people's hearts.
They were jealous and wanted to win against him, but they had never had the slightest intention to kill him.
Being able to guard the bottom line under that mentality was not hopeless.
"It is not wise for you to do this, it is tantamount to suicide.
Remember, don't do this again in the future, only by living can you have a chance. If you miss this time, as long as you don't give up, you can get the next time."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a piece of chaotic golden light rushed out, falling like a waterfall, enveloping those prodigies.
Suddenly, those prodigies who were almost fainting were shocked!
They only felt that the chaotic golden light entered their bodies, and the injuries on their bodies recovered instantly, and their energy and spirit instantly climbed to the peak.
"Divine Lord Jun..."
Their lips trembled, their eyes filled with gratitude, but their hearts were extremely complicated.
They never thought that at the critical moment, the legend would help them.
They had wanted to pull him down from the altar before.
Under such circumstances, he instead lent a helping hand.
This magnanimity made them feel extremely ashamed.
"Don't say anything, after passing this trial, in the next level, do what you can, otherwise you will only die on this road."
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he turned and went up the mountain, ignoring them.
The prodigies who had recovered to their peak state, while using magical powers to resist the Order Lightning, looked at his receding figure, their lips trembling, wanting to say something, but in the end, they didn't say it.
However, the way they looked at Jun Wuxie was completely different from before. It was a look of reverence, a respect from the heart.
Rumble!
On the mountain, Jun Wuxie was nearing the summit.
The scene in the sky above was terrifying.
Countless layers of tribulation clouds formed a massive vortex, as if it were about to devour the entire world.
Within the vortex, lightning of order transformed into various weapons, blanketing the sky and earth as they bombarded downwards.
Besides weapon forms, the lightning of order also transformed into mountains and rivers, even evolving into suns, moons, and stars.
That entire area was like a scene from the apocalypse.
Despite all this, the lightning of order still couldn't shake him in the slightest.
All the lightning of order that landed on him vanished like stones sinking into the sea.
His body was like an abyss that could devour the power of lightning, seemingly capable of accommodating and obliterating endless lightning tribulations.
Such a scene was truly shocking, leaving people dumbfounded.
And so, under the gaze of the crowd, he ascended to the peak of the mountain.
The instant his foot stepped onto the summit, the tribulation clouds in the sky instantly subsided, rapidly disappearing.
Light appeared in the dim world, shining down from the dispersing tribulation clouds, then converging into a beam that enveloped Jun Wuxie.
"Congratulations, later generation trial taker, for passing the ultimate test of the Seventh Eternal Gate Mystic Realm, becoming the first cultivator to reach the summit since the Seventh Eternal Gate Mystic Realm existed!"
A celestial-like voice of order resounded, its heavenly might vast and boundless.
Immediately afterward, a blazing light bloomed in the sky.
It was a piece of parchment, slowly floating down, suspended before him.
A faint smile appeared on Jun Wuxie's face.
Just as he had thought, this mystic realm contained a fragment of the parchment map, precisely the other part of the parchment he obtained in the previous mystic realm.
He looked at the patterns drawn on the parchment and compared them with the patterns on the parchment he had obtained before, finding that they could be pieced together perfectly.
However, even with the two pieces of parchment pieced together, it was still not a complete map; it still had a missing part.
Based on the two pieces of parchment obtained, there should be a total of three pieces.
Now that he had obtained two pieces, he only needed to obtain the remaining one to complete the map.
At that time, he would be able to know the secrets on the parchment, and where exactly the map pointed to.
