Chapter 800

The Bai Yu Bridge has a total of two hundred steps.

Now Li Rui is right in the center; he is not close to the magnificent buildings at the end of the bridge, but he is already very far from the head of the bridge. At this distance, even in ancient times, not many True Monarchs could achieve it.

Planting the 【True Martial Arrival】, his strength increased greatly.

When he was in the Spirit Division, ten steps were a luxury.

Now he could walk ninety-eight steps in one breath.

"Nine-nine is the great extreme; at the extreme, change occurs."

Li Rui thought secretly in his heart, his gaze focused, and then he had already taken a step.

Boom—

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended fiercely on top of his head.

Pressing down so hard that his spine bent.

The might of an immortal!

The next instant—

Golden light surged around Li Rui, and the 【True Martial Arrival】 within his body was even more eager to rush out of the Niwan Palace Cave Heaven.

The immortal might that was about to press down was blocked, and even began to retreat upwards.

One inch.

Two inches.

One zhang.

One hundred zhang!

"Open!"

With a loud shout, the immortal might was directly shattered by Li Rui, erupting with a great power unimaginable to ordinary people in an instant.

Great Divine Ability, Opening the Heavens!

Since Li Rui planted the 【True Martial Arrival】 and comprehended this great divine ability, today was the first time he had used it.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, his right foot landed firmly on the Bai Yu Bridge.

Ninety-nine steps!

Instantly—

Wisps of white mist rose from the Bai Yu Bridge; in just the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, it was as if he were in an immortal realm.

"Sure enough, there is a change!"

According to the fragmentary records in the Hongwen Pavilion about the Grand Void Dao Field, this Bai Yu Bridge is named "Chasing the Moon" and was a place for ancient immortal cultivators to undergo trials.

If one performed impressively enough on the bridge, one could even attract immortals to take them as disciples.

Now the immortals have left.

Yet there is still good fortune.

While pondering.

Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.

He saw a figure slowly emerging in the white mist.

It was a thin, middle-aged Daoist, but he gave people a sense of being independent from the world; what surprised Li Rui was that seeing this person was like seeing the Heavenly Dao.

An immortal!

Definitely an immortal.

A Daoist Lord is the Heavenly Dao walking in the human world.

An immortal is itself a part of the Heavenly Dao.

But soon, Li Rui calmed down, because he could feel that the middle-aged Daoist in front of him was an immortal's residual consciousness, not the immortal himself.

An ethereal voice came slowly:

"Hunyuan Ten Thousand Daos?"

Hearing the middle-aged Daoist point out his roots in one sentence, Li Rui was terrified, but he forced himself to remain calm on the surface.

Just as he was about to speak.

The middle-aged Daoist's second sentence surprised him even more: "What is your relationship with my Wu Zhong Tao Shidi?"

Wu Zhong Tao Shidi?

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

In the Star Core Hall, the Wu Zhong Daoist Lord's residual consciousness accepted disciples on behalf of his master.

Since this middle-aged man in front of him called Wu Zhong his Tao Shidi, wouldn't that make him the Senior Brother he had never met!

How could he not be happy.

He did not lose his composure because of this, but tidied his clothes very neatly, and then bowed his hands: "Tao Shidi Li Rui, greets Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother?"

The middle-aged man, who originally seemed like he wouldn't frown at anything in the world, showed emotion in his eyes for the first time.

It was surprise.

The middle-aged man lowered his head, his right index and ring fingers pinching, and the emotions in his eyes looking at Li Rui were more complex: "Little Tao Shidi is truly..."

He did not continue.

However, the gaze looking at Li Rui was no longer as high and mighty as looking at an ant.

The middle-aged man said: "Master did once say that Little Tao Shidi could accept disciples on his behalf, but it would still require passing the tests of me and my Senior Brother before it can be done; you are too weak."

Li Rui's expression was as usual.

He had long expected this.

He wasn't the protagonist in those storybooks; how could there be a reason for an immortal to rush to recognize him, a mortal, as a Tao Shidi.

If he were an immortal, he wouldn't do that either.
