Chapter 811: Crossing the Sea and Climbing the Mountain in a Single Step

Reach the destination in one step?

The two looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Not to mention that they were still trekking through the sea and had not yet reached the shore. Even if they did reach the shore, they would have to spend infinite years climbing the mountain, and there was no guarantee they could even reach the highest peak.

This journey was destined to be full of hardships and obstacles.

How could one reach the destination in one step?

Could it be that this senior was capable of performing a supreme Supernatural Ability, dragging them directly to the top of the mountain? That wouldn't be too absurd, would it? Anyone capable of doing this was likely a Supreme Being.

They both knew Li Heng was powerful; otherwise, their attitude would not have been so respectful, addressing him as senior. But no matter how strong, he should not exceed a Half-step Supreme, at most comparable to the Supreme Elder of their sect or the ancestor of their family—and that was being generous in their estimation.

At the end of the day, the number of Supreme Beings was simply too scarce.

"Seeing the dragon's head but not its tail," "background board," "archetype"—none of these terms could even begin to describe the scarcity of Supreme Beings.

After all, the known World is infinite, but the number of Supreme Beings is finite, limited. The Infinite can only give birth to the finite, and an extremely scarce finite at that. One can imagine how difficult it is to achieve the status of a Supreme Being and how rare they are.

If the two had thought in that direction at the first moment.

They might have felt they were suffering from delusions.

Just like those fools who dream of pies falling from the sky.

"Crossing the sea? Climbing the mountain? To be honest, it is far too tiring, and I do not wish to repeat those meaningless, tedious processes. Since that is the case, let us skip them."

"Do you two have anything you need to bring along?"

Li Heng spoke up.

"Reporting to Senior, we do not. But... what exactly does 'reaching the destination in one step' mean? Could it be that Senior possesses some Supernatural Ability that allows us to instantly reach the shore and arrive at the foot of the mountain?"

Feng Xingqi spoke, hesitating for a moment before asking Li Heng.

He began to try his best to overestimate Li Heng, but he only thought this so-called "reaching the destination in one step" meant letting them reach the shore and arrive at the foot of the mountain.

Reaching the top of the mountain in one step would be too exaggerated.

Throughout endless years, countless Sea Crossers have longed to climb the mountain, reach the very peak, and obtain the opportunity to advance to a Supreme Being, among whom were many peerless powerhouses and monstrous geniuses.

But how many have succeeded?

At least in the secret records he knew of, none.

"The boundaries of your imagination need to be broadened."

Li Heng shook his head and said earnestly.

Young people these days, they don't even dare to imagine; they are bound by these rules and regulations. Unlike him, who dares to imagine anything.

"I ask Senior to enlighten us."

Here, Tiannv Hanyao bowed and said.

Although she wanted to be on good terms with Li Heng, it did not mean she would follow this senior's wishes one hundred percent. She had made meticulous plans for this mountain-climbing trip, and unless absolutely necessary, she did not want to disrupt her plans.

For instance, right now, if the "reaching the destination in one step" that Li Heng spoke of only meant quickly reaching the shore or the foot of the mountain, then she would respectfully decline. Sometimes, arriving at that Divine Mountain too quickly is not necessarily a good thing.

Although the Divine Mountain is high, distant, and vast, the endless sea surrounding it is not insignificant; it is an entity equal to the Divine Mountain. If one were to compare the Mountain and Sea Great World to a world of Dualism, then the Divine Mountain and the sea each occupy one part, both being the most fundamental origins.

If she could comprehend some of the mysteries within the sea.

Perhaps it would be helpful for her mountain-climbing journey!

Perhaps the reason no one has succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain throughout endless years is that they ignored the sea that stands equal to the mountain, failing to gather the power of both mountain and sea.

"Did you not understand? I am just letting you reach the top of the mountain quickly."

Li Heng shook his head and waved his hand. The three of them instantly floated into the air, turning into a streak of light that tore through space and time, heading toward the peak of that Divine Mountain at an unimaginable speed.

This movement caught the attention of countless Sea Crossers nearby.

They were all shocked. Who were these powerful individuals? Ignoring the forbidden flight laws of the sea, they were crossing the sea directly through the air! And their speed had not weakened in the slightest; it was getting faster and faster. This was too absurd!

Some hot-headed youths were unconvinced, thinking that if others could do it, they could too, so they tried to fly as well. The result was many splashing sounds; as soon as they jumped, they fell into the depths of the sea.

Moreover, this sea seemed to have a certain magic; those who fell into the water found it difficult to come out alive. Most people, before they could even struggle, began to gradually dissolve, turning into Chaos Unknown.

"Why are there so many hot-headed youths crossing the sea this time? They really think that if others can fly, they can fly too. If they don't figure out the rules, they deserve to be buried at the bottom of the sea, forever trapped in the Water Prison."

Some veteran Sea Crossers sneered and mocked.

There were also some Sea Crossers who began to wring their hands and sigh.

"Sigh, I really don't know what to say. You don't encounter such powerhouses capable of crossing the sea like this even once in billions of eons. I didn't expect us to be so unlucky as to run into them."

"Indeed, indeed. With such powerhouses around, we basically have no hope of obtaining the opportunity of the Divine Mountain. To put it bluntly, once those powerhouses reach the foot of the mountain and land, they will probably start clearing the area, and we won't even get a scrap."

"I don't think there's any need to worry. After all, it's as if Sea Crossers throughout history have ever been able to get any benefits. I've come to cross the sea and climb the mountain nine times, and I haven't gotten a single scrap. I'm already used to it. What does it matter to me how many powerhouses there are?"

A powerful Sea Crosser offered a different opinion.

"No way, you've been here nine times? Since you return empty-handed every time, why do you still come? Are you just bored? Or is your hometown closer to here?"

Some Sea Crossers asked in surprise.

"Why do I come? Of course, because I'm already used to it. Besides, don't you think it's interesting to watch those hot-headed youths who come to climb the mountain for the first time full of high spirits, only to leave dejected?"

"Some fools even take oaths, saying they must conquer the Divine Mountain. I don't know how earth-shattering their words are; it feels like they're making a Great Vow to reach the Dao. I save the images of these scenes; it's simply too interesting."

This Sea Crosser laughed maliciously.

The surrounding Sea Crossers were speechless; he was too malicious.

"Shan, stop blathering! The situation this time seems a bit different!" Suddenly, a Sea Crosser called out the name of this malicious Sea Crosser, his tone grave.

"Hai, what's wrong? Crossing the sea is rare, but it's not necessarily non-existent. Why does it sound so serious when you say it?"

"Shan" asked in surprise.

"Look, those three don't seem to be just landing; they are flying diagonally upward! It seems they intend to fly all the way to the top of the Divine Mountain!" "Hai" swallowed hard, pointing in the direction Li Heng had left, and said in shock.

The surrounding Sea Crossers also heard this and suddenly reacted, all looking up. Their faces, which had held various expressions, instantly froze, as if painting a picture of the myriad states of sentient beings.

The sea area, which had just been very lively and even somewhat noisy, instantly fell silent.

Those three streaks of light seemed to have already reached the same height as the mountain peak!
