Chapter 1660: Chapter 1659: The Secret of the Heavenly Ladder
Fang Yu was astounded by the scene ahead.
He had never thought that rules could actually solidify. Imagine that. An abstract concept suddenly turning into a tangible object, able to sway before your eyes; isn’t that quite surprising?
Rules. Just like the water in the ocean.
Drifting before your eyes.
Clusters of water. Sometimes like a ball, sometimes like an earthworm.
What do these rules actually mean?
Fang Yu began to observe.
After rules solidify, they are actually very difficult to observe. If they were abstract, Fang Yu could use his Super Divine Sense to perceive, break down, and then unravel them to find their loopholes.
Now that the rules have become solidified objects. This makes them unperceivable. If he forcibly cuts through them with Energy Mantra, it would only trigger the effects of the rules. Without cutting, he can’t see inside them.
"The problem is becoming a bit tricky."
Fang Yu stood in place and began to think of a solution.
Thinking for a moment, he still hadn’t found a clue. This sense of pressure kept increasing, and despite the difficulty, the pressure didn’t lessen. The continuous pressure on him was becoming very exhausting.
So, the longer he drags it out, the more the pressure on him increases.
Even the strength of a True God’s body can’t bear such a mountain-like weight for such a long time, remaining motionless.
"What would happen if I don’t touch these rules?"
Fang Yu had an epiphany.
He raised his hand.
A glow appeared in his palm. It was a small circular item woven by Energy Mantra. Fang Yu didn’t plan to go forward himself but intended to use Energy Mantra first.
To see whether these solidified rules would affect the Energy Mantra.
Following that, Fang Yu threw the Energy Mantra in his hand.
The Energy Mantra swiftly shuttled past those rules.
When the Energy Mantra reached the middle, all the rules changed.
They swiftly surged around.
They grew larger and more agitated.
In an instant, they turned into a heavenly net, enveloping every side, wrapping the Energy Mantra tightly without any loophole to escape.
Fang Yu was secretly amazed.
He really didn’t expect that the power of these solidified rules could gather so quickly.
This suggests that these rules already possess subjective initiative.
Just as those rules touched the Energy Mantra.
Fang Yu suddenly pinched his fingers.
That Energy Mantra vanished in an instant.
And just disappeared from mid-air.
"Fortunately, I used Energy Mantra. If it were a human body, it would certainly be inescapable. These solidified rules are so formidable that even Energy Mantra can perceive them. What should I do now?"
Continuing to think of a solution.
The current situation seems a bit tricky to him, but it’s not without a viable plan.
"Looks like I’m being pressured to use Divine Dragon Transformation."
Divine Dragon Transformation, with a move that can turn one’s body exceedingly ethereal. This technique, usually of little use, happens to be applicable here.
Upon becoming ethereal, it seems to truly disappear, making it impossible for these solidified rules to perceive its presence.
With this, he can avoid the siege by the rules.
With this thought, Fang Yu began to act.
Divine Dragon Transformation.
Then Fang Yu’s body vanished on the spot.
The downside of shrinking in size is this.
Originally, a journey taking 10 minutes might take a hundred or thousand times longer.
This is akin to humans turning into ants, having to crawl over long distances. For humans, only a few steps are needed, but for ants, hundreds of steps must be taken.
However, Fang Yu’s strength is formidable.
Even if it requires a few additional steps, he can arrive. As the distance extends, the speed can increase!
Thus Fang Yu began to attempt ascending the steps.
As he stepped onto the stairs, he sensed the surrounding rules come to a halt.
It seemed somewhat effective.
But everything would only become evident upon reaching the middle, so he cautiously moved forward.
Previously, one step could cover two stairs, but now many steps are needed to cover one stair. After all, Fang Yu was in an ethereal state, so small that it was negligible.
He thus began to accelerate.
His entire figure in space seemed like a meteor, flying towards the middle.
Due to Fang Yu’s particular diminutive size, appearing nearly ethereal, when he gazed at the sky, those solidified rules appeared immense. Like an enormous canopy hanging in the air.
Yet he remained unfazed and started accelerating.
Without knowing how much time had elapsed, he finally stepped past the 1st step, followed by the 2nd step.
Then the 3rd step.
Then the 4th step.
Each step might take around 10 minutes. Previously, altogether 50 steps combined only took about 10 minutes.
But this was already quite fast.
About five to six hours later.
Fang Yu finally reached the middle.
He deliberately paused, gazing upward.
Afraid that those solidified rules might suddenly attack. If that truly happened, he could only use a Divine Artifact.
Indeed, Fang Yu had prepared two plans from the very start.
One was to transform like this and traverse through.
The second plan was the Pocket World Shuttle.
If any danger occurred, he could rely on the Pocket World Shuttle to leave immediately.
That was his confidence in proceeding like this.
Fang Yu stood in place waiting for a few seconds and found nothing stirred above.
He then knew it was successful.
"It’s effective indeed!"
Feeling joyful, his speed accelerated again, ascending to the sky.
He knew the longer time needed, so he had to speed up.
This time, he utilized Super Divine Sense to perceive any changes in the rules ahead. Alongside sensing changes in the environment, his speed was nearly unhindered, almost full throttle.
Earlier spending five to six hours for half the journey, this time took roughly an hour.
Fang Yu’s figure resembled a meteor, reaching the 1200th step.
Then halted and returned to normal size.
Unexpectedly arriving at the 1200th step.
The rules and environment ahead showed changes.
In this crevice, he could return to his original form. After all, maintaining the ethereal state expended significant Energy.
Concurrently.
Fang Yu increasingly sensed he was getting closer to the secret of the Heavenly Ladder.
Just a bit more overtime effort would get him to the end.
Rules hidden beneath the solidified facade. In other words, this last step needs unraveling the true principles of the rules. Then only can the path to the end of the Heavenly Ladder be found.
