Yun Xiu was not in a hurry to move. He quietly stood in place and began to carefully investigate the situation within a two meter radius around him.
Based on his judgement, as long as he did not change his position after entering the Cloud Mist Passage, he should not encounter any danger. Hence, he had to understand the Cloud Mist Passage as much as possible during this period of time. If he were to advance rashly, he might not even know how he died.
After a long while, Yun Xiu let out a light sigh and took a step forward.
On the high platform, all the Empyreans felt their hearts tighten as they stared at Yun Xiu.
This was the third Empyrean to enter the Cloud Mist Passage!
Dai Yi's performance was too perfect, and it was not enough to be used as a reference. Perhaps he could see some clues from Yun Xiu's body as to what was going on in the Cloud Mist Passage … Hopefully, Yun Xiu would be able to hold on for a longer period of time.
Of course, it would be best if Yun Xiu could successfully pass through the Cloud Mist Passage. Only then would everyone regain their confidence.
If his soul was also destroyed as quickly as Dai Yi's, it would be a huge blow to everyone's information. If even the eighth ranked Yun Xiu was so weak, then what about the others?
One step, two steps … Five steps, six steps …
Eight steps!
Above the cloud tunnel, Yun Xiu's expression suddenly changed as he took a step back. When everyone on the high platform saw this, their hearts skipped a beat.
At this moment, a misty white aura rushed out from the bottom of the tunnel like a pillar of smoke in front of Yun Xiu. It only dissipated a few meters into the air and melted back into the tunnel.
Upon catching sight of this scene, all the Empyreans on the high platform heaved a sigh of relief, their hearts palpitating.
Just now, if Yun Xiu had not taken that step back, that ball of aura would have rushed towards his body. Once his body was touched by it, Yun Xiu would immediately follow in Dai Yi's footsteps. Fortunately, Yun Xiu had sensed it in advance and reacted quickly enough to successfully save his own life.
In addition, Yun Xiu and Dai Yi's positions of danger were not the same.
From this, it could be seen that Gu Daozi's judgement just now was correct. In the cloud tunnel, one could encounter danger at any time. He could learn from the successes of others, but he definitely could not follow them. Otherwise, he would immediately die … Everyone's hearts trembled, but a trace of hope arose in their hearts. Although it was dangerous, judging from Yun Xiu's reaction, that danger should still be able to be discovered in advance.
Even if he couldn't avoid danger like Tang Huan, or even cause the danger to not be triggered, it was still possible for him to be like Yun Xiu and successfully avoid it.
"That was close!"
On the cloud path, Yun Xiu also had a lingering fear.
If he had hesitated for just a moment, Yun Xiu would no longer exist in this world. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. However, even though he had successfully avoided this calamity, not only did Yun Xiu not relax, he instead felt an even greater pressure. He had not even walked ten meters, and it was already so dangerous …
Could he really walk these thousands of meters unscathed?
With just a flash of this thought, Yun Xiu once again calmed his heart and focused. He quickly took a step forward, and at this moment, he no longer had the time to think. The cloud tunnel was constantly changing. Right now, it was still safe to stand there, but after a while, it would become extremely dangerous.
This time, Yun Xiu took more than ten steps before he encountered danger again. He still successfully avoided it.
After taking another seven steps, Yun Xiu was in danger for the third time …
… ….
Under the close watch of dozens of gazes, Yun Xiu walked closer and closer to the cloud path. On the high platform, many Empyreans already revealed a smile on their faces.
"Empyrean Yun Xiu is almost halfway there. It seems like it's not as dangerous as we thought."
"Haha, we're the ones scaring ourselves."
"For Empyrean Yun Xiu to be able to avoid danger every time and walk such a long distance, it seems like his mind is still useful in the cloud path. As long as we carefully investigate, we should be able to detect it ahead of time like Empyrean Yun Xiu."
"That's right, Empyrean Dai Yi was too careless. He followed Tang Huan's path without changing, which was why he encountered such an accident. If we want to successfully pass through the tunnel, we can only follow our own senses. "
"..."
Many Empyreans gathered together in twos and threes, muttering to each other. Their faces revealed eager expressions.
"I won't wait any longer, I'll give it a try as well!"
A tall and sturdy man in a green robe could no longer hold it in. He grinned and laughed. Before he finished speaking, his robust body shot out like a lion that had just escaped from its cage. When everyone regained their senses, the green-robed man's figure had already appeared above the cloud path.
"Everyone, this old man is about to begin as well!"
After the green-robed man, another skinny old man left the platform and entered the cloud path.
The cloud path was quite wide. Not to mention the green-robed man and the skinny old man, even if the dozens of people on the platform were to move, it would still be able to accommodate them.
With the green-robed old man and the skinny old man leading the way, in just a short moment, ten more people appeared in the cloud path.
"Senior Brother, we …"
"Grand Elder!"
On the high platform, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji were both restless.
On the cloud path, Yun Xiu had already walked more or less the same distance, and Tang Huan, who was the first to set off, had already climbed quite a distance after arriving at the mountain peak. If they were to take action now, they might even have the chance to catch up to Yun Xiu, or even Tang Huan. However, if they continued to delay, it would be hard to say.
If Tang Huan were to ascend to the summit and obtain the treasure that could help them prove their dao, then it would be too late for them to regret it.
"No rush!"
Gu Daozi remained calm. He waved his hand and closed his eyes. He even sat down cross-legged on the high platform.
When Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Not far away, Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye, and Ji Qingtian also exchanged glances. They were not like the other Empyreans, who were greatly encouraged by Yun Xiu's performance and eagerly entered the passageway.
On the cloud path, Yun Xiu was still moving forward step by step. He did not realize that there were already quite a few Empyreans behind him. Of course, even if he did, he would not care. Others could only see him avoiding danger time and time again, but they didn't know that his clothes were already drenched in sweat.
As he walked forward step by step, the consumption of Yun Xiu's mental strength had already reached an extremely shocking level. Moreover, he had pushed his mind to the limit, causing his soul to become more and more exhausted. Now, he, the eighth ranker on the revered list, actually felt a little powerless.
In fact, it was already a little difficult to maintain a two-meter radius of sensing range.
