Chapter 1222 - 1079: Zhuge Haoming (2)
The Martial Artist's eyes flashed, and he immediately took the Elixir Pills, ensuring he had enough Primordial Power to defend against the frenzied stone attacks while crossing the iron bridge ahead.Once on the iron bridge, the Martial Artist used a Defensive Light Shield, hoping to forcibly withstand the stone's frenzied attacks.
Even though the Martial Artist was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the strength and speed of the stone attacks.
Under a torrent of attacks, the Martial Artist's Defensive Light Shield was destroyed.
Although his armor could protect him from some fatal damages, the stones attacked from all directions.
The stones struck like raindrops on his head, back, and private parts, leaving him unable to bear it, and he jumped off the iron bridge.
As his body flew a meter away from the bridge, he fell like a kite with a broken string.
Quickly, his body plummeted onto a large tree.
Though he wasn't severely injured, hardly any place on his body remained unscathed, as many areas were brutally hit by the stones.
His face was even swollen like a pig's head, full of bumps.
"Damn! Didn't expect this challenge to be so hard! Seems I overlooked certain factors!"
The Martial Artist's eyes flashed as he guessed he had used the wrong strategy.
He saw Duan Gujin quickly pass the second level and assumed the key to crossing was speed and strong defense.
He now realized he must have overlooked something.
"This second iron bridge is sealed, so I couldn't possibly see how that person crossed!"
After the second level, only a few Martial Artists managed to cross.
Following Duan Gujin was Shi Potian.
Unlike Duan Gujin, Shi Potian relied on a powerful Divine Artifact, easily enduring the stone attacks, breezing through the second level.
After crossing the second level, Duan Gujin consumed a Ten-thousand Yuan Pill on the second stone bridge to recuperate and restore Primordial Power.
Soon, he saw Shi Potian.
Knowing Shi Potian's identity, he wasn't surprised that Shi Potian could quickly pass the second level.
But he didn't expect to see a very young individual appear behind them.
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian both focused on the young man, realizing someone who kept up with them must be special.
"Friend, your speed is impressive. Have you heard of the Reincarnation River?"
Duan Gujin probed.
"I haven't!"
The Martial Artist responded mildly.
"That can't be, how could you not know?"
This time, it was Shi Potian's turn to be shocked.
He found it hard to believe that someone keeping up with them might not be a Reincarnation Immortal like them.
"I really don't know, I have never heard of the Reincarnation River! Why are you asking me?"
The young man replied calmly.
"May I ask your name?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"I am Zhuge Haoming! May I know your names?"
The Martial Artist replied lightly.
"Zhuge Haoming!"
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian's eyes brightened, immediately recalling who this young man was.
"It's a pity, this Zhuge Haoming is a short-lived ghost!"
"What's with those expressions?"
The young man noticed the glimmer in their eyes, instantly changing his face, sensing they must have heard of his name.
"I know who you are; you are a True Disciple of the Eternal Divine Court, your Master is the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Calculation!"
Duan Gujin said blandly.
"You are wrong, I am currently just an ordinary disciple of the Eternal Divine Court, my Master isn't Heavenly Mechanism Divine Calculation!"
Zhuge Haoming responded unhappily.
"Oh, I forgot, you're right, you aren't yet Heavenly Mechanism Divine Calculation's disciple, but eventually you will be!"
Duan Gujin replied promptly.
Zhuge Haoming's name was something he heard after entering the Divine World.
Martial Artists in the Divine World praised Zhuge Haoming immensely, naturally catching his attention.
In his hundred years in the Divine World, he never met Zhuge Haoming, only heard his name.
But soon, he heard news of Zhuge Haoming's demise.
At the time, he only heard Zhuge Haoming was poisoned by a romantic rival; he didn't know many details.
"Brother Shi, how much do you know about Zhuge Haoming?"
Duan Gujin secretly asked Shi Potian.
Shi Potian answered immediately: "I once dug up his grave, saw his corpse covered in poison; he was poisoned to death!"
Hearing this, Duan Gujin broke into a cold sweat.
"I heard he was killed by a romantic rival, do you think that's possible?"
Duan Gujin probed.
"I didn't finish earlier, I found a journal in his storage ring, recording he was killed by a romantic rival, I know who and what that scoundrel is!"
Shi Potian replied.
"That's good, let's see before deciding!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
They conversed briefly, wanting to understand Zhuge Haoming's character before deciding.
"Let's recuperate and restore Primordial Power together!"
Zhuge Haoming proposed.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin agreed.
Time passed little by little; after two hours, they almost recovered.
"Let's go together!"
Shi Potian suggested.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin responded lightly.
Zhuge Haoming hesitated a bit, his eyes flickered, saying: "You go first, I'll watch and see!"
"Alright, no problem!"
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian thought Zhuge Haoming wanted to see how they crossed the third iron bridge, not finding the idea unusual.
Duan Gujin widened his eyes, using Divine Sense to explore the iron bridge ahead.
Soon, he discovered the third iron bridge's chains were very thick, surrounded by a dense Array.
Duan Gujin glanced around, quickly understanding.
"The mystery of the third level lies in these iron bridges!"
He took a deep breath, leapt, and jumped onto the iron chain.
Bending, eyes wide open, carefully examining the chains.
Quickly, he realized what was special about the chains.
"The mystery of the third bridge lies in the chains!"
He inhaled deeply; he had decided, seeing through the third bridge's mystery!
"Crossing the third iron bridge isn't that hard!"
He immediately activated Primordial Power, protecting himself, took a deep breath before leaping towards the front of the bridge.
"Reckless!"
On another bridge, Shi Potian sneered.
Casually, he retrieved a pair of shoes from his storage ring, then stepped onto the bridge, leisurely proceeded forward.
"Is that possible?"
In front of the third iron bridge, Zhuge Haoming understood the mystery, seeing Duan Gujin's method was correct.
What impressed him was Shi Potian; he thought Shi Potian couldn't have missed the bridge's mystery, but didn't understand why Shi Potian only swapped shoes, daring to leisurely approach the third bridge.
Soon, he saw Shi Potian walking step by step towards the bridge ahead.
Though sizzling sounds emitted from the chains, the scorching chains didn't damage Shi Potian's shoes.
"Could his shoes be Divine Artifacts, otherwise they couldn't be unaffected."
Zhuge Haoming's eyes flickered, unable to fathom why changing shoes let Shi Potian easily approach the third bridge.
Simultaneously, he saw Duan Gujin continuously hopping on the iron bridge without any pause.
