He knew that, in order to find the answer, he had to walk forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was able to reach the final step, it might get him out of this predicament!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked for half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu was exhausted, but the end of the stairs was still nowhere to be seen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made Su Yu even more paranoid was that it felt like he had not moved an inch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many steps he took, a few more steps appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how far he walked, he couldn’t reach the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if this was an eternal, neverending place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no spiritual energy, no divine artifacts, no outside help. It was as if he had been abandoned at an eternal country, infinitely circling within the steps!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more pressing a matter, was that Su Yu felt acute hunger and thirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a single sustaining item on his person, Su Yu was going to die on these steps!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place definitely lived up to its reputation of being the forbidden grounds of no return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being robbed off their spirit energy, treasures, and anything they could depend on, anybody would die walking on this eternal journey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot die! Xianer is waiting for me!\" Su Yu pressed on, summoning all of his willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu was starving, his body weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not had anything to drink for the past two days. He had reached his biological breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing had changed. It was still an eternal stairway, with no way of reaching the end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash ——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu collapsed on the floor, his mind turning fuzzy. This was a sure sign of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! I cannot die!\" Su Yu bit the tip of his tongue, stimulating his brain, \"No! If the third level exists, it must serve a purpose and not simply be a trap for someone until they die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, in these two days, I have never once seen a corpse that perished here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which part of this place have I missed that is out of the ordinary?\" Su Yu utilised his brain, rapidly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Su Yu had a spark of inspiration, \"I missed an important thing..... a guiding post!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without a guiding post to see where I have passed, everywhere I walked was snow white steps. There was no way to accurately deduce that, until now, where the judgement I made, that I was advancing, came from my senses. Hence, the senses can be affected!\" Su Yu’s eyes grew brighter, his brain turning faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he needed a guiding post to test his own hypothesis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his teeth, Su Yu bit down on his finger, fresh blood dripping onto the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to use his blood to mark the ground, but the blood was absorbed by the stairs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking, Su Yu tore off a piece of his robe, dropping it on the stairs. It also vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to the disappearance of his spiritual energy and divine artifacts, Su Yu muttered, \"Anything that belongs to me has been taken by the stairs. Anything I take would disappear instantly, unless that item did not belong to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these items still had all disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu had reached a dead end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Yu had a stroke of inspiration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an item that might not have disappeared yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grunt!\" Su Yu let out a low growl, using the power in his muscles to press on his abdominal region!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some time later, dull black droplets seeped from his pores!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Black Wind Elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu had gotten this from the Meteorite Forest, an ancient pill that boosts one’s masculinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had lost its effects and had sealed it in his body using ice, waiting for an opportunity to expel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not belong to Su Yu, but was hidden deep within his stomach. Thus, it had not been noticed by the Eternal Stairs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it had been crushed by his muscles, it formed droplets and was expelled through his pores!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handful of black droplets fell on the stairs, and did not disappear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this snow white world, the black droplets stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the black droplets before his feet, Su Yu shifted his gaze, stepping onto the next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, he had clearly taken another step, yet the black droplets remained before his feet, their position, shape, amount and distance from his leg remaining unchanged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that the droplets followed Su Yu up another step, but rather that Su Yu had been walking on the spot all along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his senses, Su Yu was advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the black droplets as a guiding post, it told Su Yu that his two day journey had just been him walking on the spot. He had not moved an inch from his original position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this that’s deceiving my senses?\" Su Yu finally knew where the problem lay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Yu achieved understanding, a strange scene ensued!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black crack formed in the white world, as if a mirror had just broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack ——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white world turned into shards, flying in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu subconsciously closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he found that he was standing before an ancient, broken Buddha statue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the Buddha statue was a palm print, breaking it into five pieces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another palm print!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Su Yu’s peripheral vision fell on a fearful scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his feet lay multiple skeletons of different generations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst them, there were many with the Liuxian faction crest on their robes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These..... were once disciples of the faction, they all died here!\" Su Yu was startled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all died of hunger and thirst!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been walking in the white world until they died. None of them had realised that they had not moved an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was that they were standing in front of the Buddha statue, not moving an inch, before they died of hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Su Yu had understood the situation and managed to return to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After waiting for a thousand years, there’s finally one with enough intelligence and fate to pass the last level!\" A stern voice suddenly entered his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu’s pupils dilated. The one that was speaking was the Buddha statue before him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clay Buddha opened its eyes, its lips quivering as it opened its mouth to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fated one, as the reward for reaching the end of the Ancient Xianyun Temple, you can choose a technique to cultivate and pass on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh ——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two techniques fell in front of Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Techniques? Su Yu was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked at them, he gasped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two techniques were complete immortal level techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one on the left was called Devil’s Benevolence, an immortal level technique cultivated by Buddhists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had three stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first stage was Demon Heart, where you cultivate a demon heart. As long as the body remains intact, any injuries can be restored by the demon heart. It is the legendary immortal heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second stage was Demon Body, where you cultivate a demon body. The flesh is trained to the extreme and is impenetrable. Any lost limbs would be regenerated. It is the legendary immortal body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third stage was Demon Mind, where you cultivate a demon mind. Using your demon instincts will allow you to temporarily boost your cultivation level by three levels, killing higher level enemies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Yu finished reading, he was in disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he did not consider the immortal heart and body, this was a legend amongst old books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ungodly power of the third stage Demon Mind made Su Yu deeply startled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temporarily boosting the cultivation level by three levels? That was ungodly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping the surprised expression, Su Yu looked to the second immortal level technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first book was already so shocking, just how scary would the second book be?\u003C\u002Fp>",1476,"2026-06-06T03:58:31.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e510f17766d618b6a2d40e28695f8ad1956567994bd25f3a3a74e12376fa0b0","the-divine-nine-dragon-cauldron-chapter-201","the-divine-nine-dragon-cauldron-chapter-199",3239,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-divine-nine-dragon-cauldron-cover.jpg"]
