Or could it be that Tang Huan had revealed to them some tricks to pass through the cloud tunnel?
There really was such a possibility!
For Tang Huan to be able to pass through the cloud tunnel so easily, it was definitely not just because his soul was strong and his Perception Ability was astonishing. The most important reason was probably because he already had a very detailed understanding of the cloud tunnel. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to do such a thing.
If Liu Li and the others really did grasp some tricks, they might be able to see something from their next actions.
Everyone's thoughts raced. A moment later, Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye, and Ji Qingtian landed on the cloud tunnel under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The three of them did not gather together. The moment they landed on the tunnel, they split up.
They didn't stop for long. With a sweep of their gazes, they took a step forward at almost the same time. Before they could even walk ten meters, the three of them were in danger. However, just like Yun Xiu, they also quickly avoided the white-colored odor that suddenly rushed out and continued forward.
Whether it was the many Empyreans on the high platform or in the cloud tunnel, they had all given up on observing Yun Xiu's actions. Instead, they focused their attention on Liu Li, Qin Xian, and Ji Qingtian. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared unblinkingly at their figures, wanting to find something fishy.
However, a few hundred meters ahead, Liu Li and the other two did not reveal any abnormalities.
However, after walking for about a thousand meters, Liu Li and the others actually stopped moving forward and sat down cross-legged on the spot, as if they were recovering their strength.
Seeing their actions, the Empyreans on the high platform and in the passageway couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Within the Cloud Mist Passage, one could still stop and recover like they did? This tunnel was constantly changing. Weren't they worried that there would be danger while they were resting?
If that was really the case, then they wouldn't even have the chance to dodge.
After about a quarter of an hour, the three of them moved forward once again, successfully avoiding danger time and time again. After traveling for another thousand meters, they finally stopped.
"This old man understands!"
Above the cloud tunnel, the skinny old man said in pleasant surprise, "Above this tunnel, every thousand meters or so is a safe zone."
Not only did the skinny old man understand, the other Empyreans also came to their senses, and their faces were full of smiles.
Although the passage was still dangerous, this discovery gave the Empyreans several opportunities to relax and recover their strength. They didn't need to walk from the beginning to the end. This made it much easier for them to pass through the cloud channel. At the very least, they could catch their breaths midway.
"Ahhh —"
A scream suddenly rang out in the misty passageway.
On the passageway about two thousand meters away from the mountain range, half of Yun Xiu's body had already been covered by a ball of white mist. Although the people behind him could not see Yun Xiu's face, they could imagine how terrified, anxious, and desperate this expert who was ranked eighth on the revered list was.
However, Yun Xiu was also extremely decisive.
Bang!
In less than half a blink of an eye, Yun Xiu's body exploded like fireworks, turning into a ball of dark red blood mist. His Nascent Soul flashed out of the blood mist and floated forward. At this critical moment, Yun Xiu had actually completely abandoned his flesh body.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of all the Empyreans trembled.
At a time like that, not every cultivator had such a reaction speed. If they were entangled by that aura, as long as they hesitated for a moment, not only would their bodies melt, even their Nascent Souls would have no hope of escaping. It was indeed a wise move for Yun Xiu to abandon his physical body and protect his Nascent Soul.
However, this decisive action only allowed Yun Xiu to live for a moment longer.
"Hu!"
Just as Yun Xiu's Nascent Soul rushed out a few meters, another ball of misty white aura whizzed up and struck the Nascent Soul, wrapping it up and moving as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the Nascent Soul and the ball of aura had disappeared without a trace.
On and off the high platform, the expressions of the Empyreans were filled with unconcealable shock. It was truly a pity that a mighty expert ranked eighth on the revered list had actually lost his life on this cloud path. If he had held on for another fifteen minutes, he would have already reached that mountain peak.
After a short moment of shock, everyone felt pity and regret.
Walking on the cloud path consumed a lot of strength and mental strength. Without stopping to rest, even an Empyrean would find it hard to endure. In the end, Yun Xiu had moved a little too early. If he set off now and stopped every thousand meters, with his strength, he would definitely be able to reach the peak.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
"It's time for us to leave."
On the high platform, Gu Daozi shook his head and sighed. His gaze swept past the stunned Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji as he floated forward and instantly entered the cloud tunnel.
Seeing this, Yuan Chao and Wei Xuanji immediately moved, following closely behind Gu Daozi and arriving at the cloud tunnel.
When the three Empyreans of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion moved, the Empyreans who thought that they had already found the trick also started to move. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the high platform was already empty. All the Empyreans had already entered the cloud tunnel, and the cultivators who had entered the tunnel earlier no longer dilly-dallied.
In just a short period of time, the situation on the cloud path had changed greatly.
At this moment, on top of the mountain range, Tang Huan was also climbing up step by step. This mountain range could not be considered high, but Tang Huan's speed was not fast, it was even slower than when she was passing through the cloud tunnel.
Just as everyone had guessed, there was indeed a trick to passing through this cloud tunnel.
When the Immortal World still existed, all the Ancient Era's Immortals who participated in the trial knew that trick. Tang Huan originally did not plan to hide it. After all, out of the dozens of Sky Sovereigns, only Yuan Chao, Black Cicada and the others had enmity with him. The other Sky Sovereigns did not have any enmity with Tang Huan, so there was no need to offend them.
But what Tang Huan did not expect was that when Yuan Chao forced him to scout, other than Liu Li and the others, so many Sky Sovereigns did not even object. Although they did not directly oppose Tang Huan, they had indirectly become Yuan Chao's accomplices. How could Tang Huan let this go?
Since that was the case, Tang Huan decided not to say anything, and only secretly revealed the news to Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye and Ji Qingtian.
Although that trick could not allow a person to directly pass through the cloud tunnel, it could lighten the burden and greatly increase the success rate of passing through the cloud tunnel. If Liu Li and the others were to take action, the trick would definitely be leaked out. However, Tang Huan did not specially warn them to take action later.
Of course, Tang Huan did not say anything, but Liu Li and the others directly did so.
