Father Wang, who was sitting cross-legged under the sky-treading bridge, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Wang Baole calmly and nodded. He remained seated cross-legged on the spot. He raised his right hand and waved casually at the sky-treading bridge behind him.

With that wave of his hand, the sky changed, and the wind and clouds swirled. A loud boom spread in all directions, and the first sky-treading bridge instantly shone brightly. There was even a stone tablet next to the bridge. It gathered from an illusion until it became tangible.

The ancient aura grew stronger, and the feeling of the passage of time spread out even more clearly. As it reverberated in all directions, a vortex appeared around it.

The vortex was extremely large and vast, as if it covered the entire sky. However… at that moment, on the immortal dipper continent, when he raised his head to look, the sky remained the same. There was no change at all.

It was as if everything was an illusion.

!!

The Vortex, which no one could see, was spinning with a loud rumble. Wang Baole, who was at the core of the Vortex, was also distracted. However, he quickly calmed down and looked at the stone tablet before the bridge, words were slowly appearing on it.

They were unknown words. Wang Baole had never seen them before. However, as he looked at them, the words appeared in his mind as if he had instinctively known what they meant.

“Stepping on the Heavenly Bridge, exterminating the Dao in space, immortal soul, all beings worship.”

Each of the twelve words exuded a supreme meaning. It shook Wang Baole’s soul, causing him to feel that the wind around him seemed to grow stronger. The vortex seemed to spin faster, and the aura of time and vicissitudes of life grew stronger.

As the twelve words stirred his mind, the world rumbled once again. On the other side of the stone tablet, a second stone tablet gathered with a loud rumble. It looked no different from the first stone tablet, but its divine might was stronger, the moment it appeared, the entire immortal dipper continent seemed to tremble.

There were also twelve words on it.

“Supreme will, reincarnation, universe spirit, Myriad Dao Kowtow!”

Seeing the twelve words on the second stone tablet, Wang Baole felt a storm in his heart once again. Vaguely, he seemed to see an image. In the image, there was a familiar figure who had raised his hand in front of the bridge countless years ago, he absorbed a strange power from the universe and gathered it into a stone tablet. Then, he used his finger as a pen and wrote the twelve words.

Every word he wrote caused the starry sky to tremble. When the twelve words were written, the starry sky erupted with an intense light. The universe seemed to be in turmoil. The person who had written the twelve words turned his head at that moment, in Wang Baole’s eyes, this person… was father Wang!

The image disappeared in that instant. Wang Baole’s breathing quickened. He looked at Father Wang, who was sitting cross-legged at the side. He saw his father’s calm eyes. He recalled what father Wang had said several years ago, when he had just arrived on the immortal dipper continent, when he saw the eleven bridges in the starry sky, Father Wang had said those words calmly.

“This bridge collapsed before the passage of time. I repaired it and rebuilt it from the nine bridges into eleven bridges. One of the nine bridges is the sky-treading bridge.”

After a long while, Wang baole retracted his gaze and looked at the first bridge again. His eyes shone brightly. Without saying anything, he moved and headed straight for the first bridge.

His speed wasn’t fast, but he only took six steps before he reached the bridge. When his seventh step landed, Wang Baole’s right foot was already on the first bridge.

The moment he stepped onto the bridge, Wang Baole’s eyes were filled with emotions. He could clearly feel that at that moment, his body and soul seemed to have been sublimated. There was a large amount of laws of heaven and earth, and the charm of the Dao gathered from all directions, it came from the universe, descended from the starry skies, and spread out from the bridge.

It surged crazily towards his body. Wang Baole had never experienced such a feeling before. The boundless dao charm and the fusion of the laws caused Wang Baole’s mind to set off a shocking storm at that moment.

Within the storm, his understanding of all the laws rose at an unimaginable speed. The five elements in his body became even more perfected, and his aura became even more violent. Countless Different Dao essences.., they continued to collide within his body, fusing with the five elements.

There was also a sense of warmth that formed and spread throughout his body. It gradually enveloped the parts of his body that were initially unnoticeable, but were filled with frost and imperfections, causing his entire body to feel extremely warm.

It was just like before. He looked complete, but in reality, both his body and soul had some flaws. There were some missing fragments, but now, these missing fragments were rapidly replenishing themselves.

All of this caused Wang Baole to stand at the head of the first bridge the moment he stepped on it. His eyes were shut, and he didn’t move.

This process lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Wang Baole gradually adapted to the influx of Dao charms and laws in his body. When he opened his eyes, the shadow of the starry sky seemed to appear in his eyes. The Aura on his body also rose at that moment, it rose.

It grew stronger and stronger!

In his senses, it was only a step away from the bridge, but it gave Wang baole the feeling that he was a different person on the bridge.

Under the bridge, he might be strong, but there was a limit.

On the bridge, he understood all the laws and fused countless dao charms. It was as if there was no limit, so… he was stronger!

This made Wang Baole lower his head and look at the heavenly bridge under his feet, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

This is… The Heavenly Bridge? As he muttered, a glint flashed in Wang Baole’s eyes. He took a step forward and walked forward on the first heavenly bridge.

With each step, his senses deepened, and his comprehension increased. His body also became more relaxed, and more importantly, his soul became more transparent as he stepped down.

Just like that, he walked faster and faster on the bridge, and his aura became more and more shocking.

In the end, when he reached the end of the first bridge, the aura on his body was already overwhelming. It shook the surroundings, causing the whirlpools around him to spin faster and give off a stronger aura.

That was because the gift from the first bridge, the changes in the laws of Heaven and earth, as well as the augmentation of countless dao charms, had already been imprinted in Wang Baole’s mind and could not be erased.

More importantly, at that moment, Wang Baole’s body appeared to be one entity, as if it was perfect!

This was the first bridge to heaven treading!

Its purpose was to allow cultivators to sense all the laws and dao charms in the universe in advance. Even though it was just a superficial experience, it was enough to expand a cultivator’s dao intent. It was as if it would turn the limit into infinity.

To Wang Baole, the first bridge had another gift, and that was… to supplement the Dao!

Wang baole came from the stone stele world after all. In that world where the Dao and laws were incomplete, even though he had achieved perfection and had come to the universe to supplement, he still lived in the stone stele world after all. Therefore, fundamentally speaking.., there were still some minor flaws that were difficult to fix in a short period of time.

At that moment, as he walked to the end of the first bridge, his body had become a dao body, and his soul had become a dao soul.

Everything was perfect!

Wang Baole’s body trembled. He stood at the end of the bridge and raised his head. He looked into the distance. He could see the second bridge in front of him, as well as the numerous gigantic bridges behind the second bridge. They were like rainbows.

Wang Baole took a deep breath. His body swayed, and he walked down the first bridge. He flew toward the second bridge!
