Chapter 1338

Ever since the Heaven Trampling Bridge had existed, its mysteriousness and majesty had been extremely profound. After all, in the Great Cosmos, although there were items that could verify the Heaven Trampling Realm, there were definitely less than a handful of them. The Heaven Trampling Bridge was one of them, so it was naturally extremely shocking.

At the same time, the Heaven Trampling Bridge had even more special aspects. Not only could it verify the Heaven Trampling Realm's cultivation, it was also like an amplifier that could amplify the strength of the cultivator who stepped on the bridge and form a resonance, causing the battle prowess of the cultivator who walked on the bridge to increase greatly.

As for the principle behind it, although it wasn't that no one knew, no matter how much they understood it, it was very difficult to imitate it. The only person who had the qualifications was Wang Yiyi's father.

This was because the bridge that had once collapsed had been rebuilt by him, and on top of the original foundation, he had built two more bridges.

The actions of the former were already extraordinary, and the actions of the latter were even more shocking.

That was why, in the Great Cosmos, Father Wang's understanding of the Heaven Trampling Bridge was unparalleled.

He knew very well that the first Heaven Trampling Bridge allowed a cultivator to understand all the Dao in the Great Cosmos. It was like opening up a new path, allowing the cultivator to become more and more perfect. Anyone with a certain level of cultivation was qualified to step on that bridge.

However, from the second bridge onwards, it was different. Only those who had the bloodline of the Immortal Astral Continent were qualified to step on it. That was why the focus of the second bridge was the test. To a certain extent, it could be said to be the threshold.

That was why Wang Baole had felt a strong rejection here. If it was someone who wasn't from the Immortal Astral Continent, they would definitely be stopped and unable to move forward. However, Wang Baole was not ordinary.

That was why, with his will and footsteps, even if the second bridge itself collapsed, it still couldn't stop him. In the end, it had no choice but to acquiesce to his qualifications and activate the true Heaven Trampling Bridge for him.

That was how the first miraculous appearance of the Heaven Trampling Bridge came about: the heart examination.

Only those with a perfect Dao heart could walk down the second bridge and onto the third bridge. Only those with a firm Dao heart could walk down the third bridge and onto the fourth bridge.

Furthermore, one's Dao-heart had to be perfect and firm, with the possibility of sublimation. Only then would one be able to walk down the fourth bridge and onto the fifth bridge.

Wang Baole achieved all of that. His cultivation continued to rise as he walked down multiple bridges. It was the same for his combat strength, and the aura he exuded was monstrous. It could even be said that if one were to compare the current him to the one who hadn't stepped on the bridge, they might seem to be at the same level of cultivation, but the latter could suppress the former, although he couldn't completely crush the former.

That was because the former only had the power of one person, while the latter had the power of the universe's ten thousand Daos. It resonated with the universe and could borrow the power of everything for one's own use. Even though … it was a little forceful to borrow power, but … this was no longer an ordinary fourth step technique. This was already the power of the fifth step!

Even if it was only one source, so what? By borrowing the power of the ten thousand Daos of the universe, he could naturally suppress it.

However, this wasn't something everyone who stepped onto the fifth bridge could do. Normally, stepping onto the fifth bridge would only allow one sun to rise on the Immortal Astral Continent. According to the Immortal Astral Continent's name, one would only be a Grand Heavenly Venerate.

It wasn't the fourth step, but it was infinitely close.

However, because Wang Baole's foundation was too strong, his fifth bridge was naturally different. Not only was it the eleventh sun that appeared on the Immortal Astral Continent, but its own light had also reached an unimaginable level.

This was also why Father Wang had said that Wang Baole wasn't simple.

Because he had personally reconstructed the Heaven Stepping Bridge. He knew that whether it was the first bridge's perfected Divine Body, the second bridge's qualification test, or the third to fifth bridges' examination of the heart, all of it … was just a refinement of a cultivator's foundation.

The deeper the foundation, the greater the refinement!

The amplification effect had already begun at this stage, and all the refinement of the foundation, all the amplification, was ultimately for the sake of … the eruption of power from the next few bridges!

The first five bridges were all about accumulating power!

The last six bridges were about ascending to the heavens!

The deeper the accumulation, the more powerful the ascension!

"The first is the examination of the heart, the latter is the confirmation of the Dao. Wang Baole, let me see … how many bridges you can reach!" Father Wang's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Wang Baole, who was at the end of the fifth bridge.

The confirmation of the Dao had begun!

As Wang Baole raised his head and took a step forward, the entire fifth bridge immediately rumbled. Wang Baole, who was between the fifth and sixth bridges, erupted with a blinding light. Having reached this point, he had already understood how to walk the Heaven Stepping Bridge.

"Gold!" Wang Baole's eyes flashed as he muttered.

As his words reverberated, earth-shattering laws of Gold erupted from his body. They were no longer formless. They transformed into countless golden threads that circled the area instantly. Looking from afar, the threads formed the silhouette of an object.

That object was a silver ingot.

It was silver in color, but it gave off a golden glow. The strange and contradictory sight caused everyone's vision to blur to varying degrees. At that moment, the entire universe was shaken. Countless laws of Gold resonated and resonated. They seemed to be reinforcing Wang Baole, causing the laws of Gold on his body to become even more powerful.

And amidst this power, Wang Baole took a step, crossed the void, and appeared in the middle of the sixth bridge!

At that point, the aura on his body erupted once again. The power of the laws of Gold seemed to have risen to a higher level. One could see … the silver ingot actually melting. Everything happened in an instant. In the next moment, the silver ingot completely melted and became one with Wang Baole!

The heavens and earth rumbled, and the universe trembled. A giant vortex appeared outside the Immortal Astral Continent. The mighty figures in the universe also sensed it from afar. Their Divine Wills spread out as if they were observing the Dao.

As countless gazes and Divine Wills gathered, Wang Baole, who stood in the middle of the sixth bridge, frowned slightly. He lowered his head and looked at his feet. He realized that he actually couldn't lift his feet.

Because I'm not the true source of the Dao of Gold, so … the Dao of Gold can't support me to the end of the bridge …

It's fine. A light flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. He raised his right hand, and as he waved it, a mist of water spread in all directions. It dyed the heavens and enveloped the Immortal Astral Continent. Looking from afar, it looked like a water droplet. More accurately, it was a teardrop.

As the mist spread, the laws of water descended and instantly strengthened it, causing its original form to melt. Like the laws of gold, it became one with Wang Baole. He raised his foot and landed.

His silhouette … walked directly past the sixth bridge and stood in the middle of the sixth and seventh bridges!

Next, the Dao of Earth!
