Chapter 466: Success

Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Ji Chen remained silent, instead unleashing his Great Dao Sword Intent to the extreme and slowly stepping onto the wooden bridge.

“Buzz!”

In an instant, the Great Dao Forbidden Power continuously poured in from all sides of his body, like a massive mountain weighing down on Ji Chen’s shoulders, causing his breath to momentarily stall.

Fortunately, this force did not cause him significant impact.

It’s unknown whether it was due to the Sword Dao Intent or the Hongmeng Body, but now, the Great Dao Forbidden Power surrounding Ji Chen only left him with a slight sensation.

Moreover, he quickly adapted to this power. After pausing for barely two breaths, Ji Chen continued to step forward.

Under the gaze of everyone present, Ji Chen’s pace was not particularly fast.

He advanced step by step, quickly covering a distance of ten steps in one breath.

His pace slightly halted here, where the pervasive Great Dao Forbidden Power was notably stronger than at the beginning, yet still failed to affect Ji Chen.

He proceeded onward.

After twenty steps, Ji Chen paused again, noticing the Great Dao Forbidden Power had intensified further, yet still unable to halt his pace.

Thirty steps.

Ji Chen remained unaffected, as if walking on level ground, showing no signs of discomfort or change in breathing.

It’s worth noting that those few who had previously reached thirty steps were already drenched in sweat and their breathing had become chaotic upon arriving here.

In contrast, Ji Chen appeared relaxed and composed.

“Who is he?”

At the wooden bridge’s forefront, this question arose in everyone’s mind.

Clearly, none knew Ji Chen.

After all, Ji Chen had only recently arrived in the Immortal Realm, and had not made a significant name for himself.

Moreover, although the recent events in Yanxian City caused quite a stir, such occurrences frequently happen across the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm.

Hence, although the incident spread throughout Yanzhou, it hadn’t reached the extent of making Ji Chen’s name known across the Immortal Domain.

Additionally, even if someone present had heard of the event or Ji Chen’s name, they hadn’t met him personally.

“Among the current younger generation, only a few have comprehended Great Dao Sword Intent, but this person is certainly not one of them. Who is he? With such Sword Dao talent, he shouldn’t be an unknown.”

Many were discussing, eyes fixed on Ji Chen, curious about how far he could walk, or if he could reach the end of the wooden bridge.

Soon, fifty steps.

Ji Chen still showed no signs of struggle.

He continued, walking steadily, taking each step deliberately, seemingly adapting to the Great Dao Forbidden Power on the wooden bridge.

“Buzz!”

Finally, after a hundred steps, everyone could feel the wooden bridge slightly tremble.

The mist shrouding the valley seemed to boil up at this moment.

“He hasn’t failed?”

Many were astonished; a hundred steps was undoubtedly a striking distance.

Each step on the wooden bridge, they knew, was extraordinarily challenging.

Yet Ji Chen had walked a hundred steps or more, and crucially, he still exhibited no signs of struggle.

“Can he truly succeed in crossing to the other side of the bridge?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

But most people fell silent, eyes fixed entirely on Ji Chen.

“Buzz!”

With each of his steps, hearts couldn’t help but tremble with them.

Finally.

Another hundred steps passed.

By now, Ji Chen had walked a total of two hundred steps.

And finally, a hint of effort appeared on his face.

Yet this effort still didn’t greatly impact Ji Chen.

He continued stepping forward, his steps heavy.

Each step caused the wooden bridge to tremble, seemingly ready to snap, threatening to throw Ji Chen into the valley below.

“Hah!”

After another quarter of an hour, Ji Chen finally took the last step, reaching the other end of the wooden bridge.

Instantly, the Great Dao Forbidden Power enveloping him disappeared, as if a great weight had been lifted from him, making him sigh in relief and feel much lighter.

“Succeeded!”

At the forefront of the wooden bridge, the gathered cultivators wore expressions of astonishment.

Many were deeply curious about Ji Chen’s name and origins.

Unfortunately, no one present could provide any answers.

“This is the Dao Yi Immortal Sword!”

But Ji Chen paid no heed to everyone’s thoughts behind him; instead, he immediately approached the half-man-tall stone pedestal.

His gaze fell upon a Treasure Sword radiating dazzling brilliance before his eyes.

This extraordinary sword, entwined with a terrifying Sword Dao aura and infused with True Meaning of the Great Dao, emanated power only an Immortal Artifact could.

“Buzz!”

Without hesitation, Ji Chen reached out and grasped the Dao Yi Immortal Sword.

No unexpected events transpired.

The moment the Immortal Sword entered his hand, Ji Chen felt his body momentarily tense up.

The True Meaning of the Great Dao from the sword infiltrated his Spiritual Sea through his palm, seemingly resonating with the Immortal Format within, allowing him to distinctly feel the sword’s extraordinary nature.

With this sword in hand, Ji Chen had confidence that with his current Reincarnation Realm Third Layer cultivation, if he exerted his full strength in a sword strike, even without simultaneously activating multiple Law Powers, he could threaten ordinary Great Emperor Level beings.

This was the powerful enhancement the Immortal Sword brought him!

Moreover, it wasn’t just any ordinary Immortal Artifact.

It was said that Immortal Artifacts had their own rankings of strength.

The Immortal Artifacts forged in ancient times were the most supreme treasures.

While the Immortal Weapons nurtured by those renowned in recent ancient times were considerably weaker.

The reason is little known, perhaps due to limitations of laws or material scarcity.

“Buzz!”

The moment the Immortal Sword entered his hand, the wooden bridge trembled slightly behind Ji Chen, and the pervasive Great Dao Forbidden Power within it dissipated, vanishing within a few breaths.

“The Forbidden Power is gone?”

This phenomenon was perceived by not only Ji Chen, but also those gathered at the bridge’s forefront.
