Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 980 Clearing the Dream Bridge (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As before, Lin Qi took the Guardian Elixir first.

He drank dozens of bottles in one go.

After feeling the power enter my consciousness.

He used Nightmare Crystals, and over the course of a century, he consumed a considerable amount of them, enduring countless mental torments.

Most of the Nightmare Crystals have been used up.

Now only a few remain.

However, he had a feeling that the last few Nightmare Crystals would be enough.

After he finished using it, he went to cross the Dream Bridge again.

Continue until you pass level 100.

And it might not take too long to complete the game.

……

Another century has passed.

On this day, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes in the training ground, and a strong purple-gold light was released from his body.

He opened his eyes, and his entire demeanor underwent a change.

Like washing away the superficialities, one's willpower has been tempered to a new level.

His eyes were deep and shone with a dazzling golden light.

In his eyes, there is an endless life unfolding.

These were all experiences he had in his nightmares.

Lynch was also recalling the torment he had endured over the past few decades.

The setting has shifted from Earth to people from other civilizations.

He became an experimental subject.

They undergo various experiments every day, their bodies are constantly being modified, and even if they become stronger, it will be detected immediately.

It's incredibly difficult to fool the researchers.

Fortunately, he could cultivate his mental power. When he raised his mental power to the second level of the universe, he killed everyone in the research institute and escaped.

Then came the pursuit and killing.

However, his strength continued to grow throughout this process.

In the end, he grew stronger as he fled.

They fought their way out, killing countless people.

Finally, he eliminated the beings of the fifth realm of the universe again, attracting the attention of the Deep Space Institute, and once again entered the supreme power.

Anyway, he has experienced countless nightmares, as long as he reveals his ability to kill the five realms of the universe.

This would attract the attention of the Deep Space Institute and eventually lead to their entry into the ranks of the supreme powers.

This is probably the best possible outcome.

You have survived the nightmare illusion, and your willpower has been tempered, reaching a whole new level!

……

Lin Qi looked at the reminder on the panel.

He has endured so much suffering over the past 350 years.

My entire state of mind has also undergone a complete change.

Willpower has reached a new level.

I have gained a new understanding of many things.

For him, mere physical pain could no longer cause him much distress.

He felt he could cross the Bridge of Dreams again.

He glanced at the time.

353 years have passed since the test officially began.

So he slowly got up.

"Master, are you going to cross the Bridge of Dreams?"

Xiao Chan asked curiously.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I feel that my willpower has reached a certain level."

"If you continue to hone your skills, you won't see much improvement."

"But before that, I need to get some rest."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Qi turned and entered the villa.

……

one year later
On the sofa in Tianhaiju Villa.

Lin Qi sat leisurely on the sofa, with Xiao Chan pouring him hot tea.

He took a small sip.

Looking at the woman opposite him, he saw that she was wearing a white and gold robe, had a tall figure, delicate features, and a pair of pointed ears.

Lin Qi sighed:
"Congratulations, Chris."

"I didn't expect you to exceed my expectations and successfully enter the Primordial Holy Land."

"You certainly didn't disappoint your grandfather."

Chris replied gratefully, "Senior, thank you for your guidance."

"It allowed me to master the Law of Gold ahead of time."

"Otherwise, I really don't have confidence that it will take 30 years."

"Thank you so much."

Lin Qi waved his hand and said, "I only played a tiny role."

"You should still thank yourself."

"Now that you have entered the Primordial Holy Land, your future is different from that of other geniuses."

"Your future will surpass your grandfather's, and you may even have the opportunity to reach the fifth realm of the universe."

Chris nodded seriously after listening and said:
"I will work hard and will not let my seniors and grandfather down."

……

Several hours later, Chris left, and Lynch taught him some things to pay attention to.

He watched the other person's back.

Lynch couldn't help but sigh at how fast time flies.

In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed since Solan's granddaughter entered the Primordial Holy Land.

He felt that time was passing very quickly.

Perhaps the future will be the same, with hundreds or even thousands of years passing by in a period of seclusion.

Once outside the pass, some civilizations may have already undergone earth-shattering changes.

After sighing for a while.

He felt he had rested well and it was time to take on the test of the Dream Bridge.

"Hey~"

So he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light, and headed towards Manor No. 1.

In a short while, they successfully arrived at the square in front of the Bridge of Dreams.

Without pausing for a moment, he stepped straight inside.

The moment they entered, they were recognized by some of the members.

"It's Gun Demon Lynch!"

"He's come to challenge the Bridge of Dreams!"

"It is said that he is undergoing a test by the Supreme Being. If he passes all of them, he will be able to become the Supreme Being's disciple."

"What is the test of the supreme being?"

"I saw on the forum that the first test requires passing all 100 levels of the Dream Bridge!"

"100 levels? What kind of hellish difficulty is this?"

"Being able to pass level 90 is enough to break through to the fifth realm of the universe."

"Reaching the highest level requires 100 levels, that's way too difficult."

"Gun Demon is a legendary genius, and he has already passed level 90."

"But passing level 100 is still a long way off."

"It feels like it will take several thousand more years."

"I'll cross the Bridge of Dreams once, and the next time I come back will be decades later."

"..."

Everyone is talking about it!

Many people even stayed behind to watch the spectacle, wanting to see how far Lynch could get.

……

[Lynch members, welcome to level 91 of the Dream Bridge.]

The countdown has ended; the test has officially begun.

On a vast bridge, Lynch, dressed in a long black robe, stood at the starting point.

More than three hundred years later, he has come to cross the Bridge of Dreams again.

He failed at this very hurdle last time.

However, his willpower has now been greatly enhanced.

Level 91 was no longer that difficult for him.

So, as soon as the intelligent voice system announced its start, he immediately shot out like a sharp arrow.

They started running quickly.

The moment he stepped off the starting line, an invisible force of the laws of time began to sweep over his entire body.

The body begins to age at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The source energy released at the same time was also frantically devoured.

Lynch could clearly feel the fatigue.

He had only run 1 kilometer when he started panting heavily, his throat burning and burning.

Lin Qi couldn't help but start controlling his speed, suppressing his fatigue, and adjusting his breathing.

Start jogging forward.

The physical fatigue is having less of an impact on him, and he is now able to keep moving forward despite the exhaustion.

A wave of intense fatigue and drowsiness washed over me, and my body grew increasingly weak.

At this point, you need strong willpower to control your body and move forward without any obstacles.

We must remain steadfast.

Even the slightest thought of giving up can cause the body to collapse.

Lynch's will was as firm as a diamond, unbreakable.

Move forward steadily.

The distance he covered also increased, from 1 kilometer to 3 kilometers, 5 kilometers, 7 kilometers...

They successfully surpassed the distance from last time.

But he did not stop; he continued forward.

He is getting older and older, but his pace has not slowed down.

Finally, I stepped steadily into the finish line.

[Lynch member, congratulations on successfully passing level 91 of the Dream Bridge.]

You will receive a reward of 10 billion cultivation points.

[Do you want to take the 92st level challenge?]

……

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi immediately smiled.

He successfully passed level 91, which was easier than he had imagined.

The reward was very satisfactory to him, amounting to a full 10 billion. However, this is considered a normal figure.

After all, those who can pass through are basically already at the fifth level of the universe.

For this level, 10 billion cultivation points is just a small amount.

So he took a short rest to get himself back to his best condition, and then started the 92nd level challenge.

"Huh~"

As he stepped off the finish line, a gentle breeze caressed him.

The power of the laws of time descended upon him once more, and this time the rate of weakening was even faster.

The rate at which energy is being lost is also accelerating.

At the same time, the speed at which the source energy is absorbed has also increased significantly.

However, it wasn't difficult for him.

He continued onward.

Everything else was so-so, but the most crucial thing was that the original 10-kilometer journey had become 20 kilometers.

He needs even greater torment to reach the end.

The distance alone is enough to make one feel hopeless.

And what's more, arriving at the finish line exhausted.

This wasn't too much of a challenge for Lynch.

He ran slowly, pushing forward little by little despite the fatigue in his body.

Finally, like an old man on his deathbed, he reached the finish line and passed level 92.

Then he immediately continued with levels 93 and 94.

Each level is much more difficult than the last.

By level 93, not only is the body weakening, but the mind is also weakening.

Perception declines, and control over the body further decreases.

It's getting more and more difficult.

If it were the old Lin Qi, he wouldn't have been able to get through it at all.

Now his willpower has reached a new level, and his influence on the mind and body has reached a whole new level.

Despite his exhaustion and pain, he persevered through one hurdle after another.

Levels 93, 94, 95, 96...

He passed several levels in a row, and the cultivation points he was rewarded with also increased.

Level 92 rewards 20 billion, Level 93 rewards 30 billion...

Before he knew it, Lin Qi had reached level 99.

[Congratulations, Lynch member, on successfully passing level 99 of the Dream Bridge!]

You will receive 90 billion cultivation points!

[Ranking (Star Evolution): 366→25]

……

At the finish line, Lin Qi, clad in a black robe, was visibly recovering his physical condition at a rapid pace.

He looked at the pop-up message.

I've already passed level 99, and only the last one is left.

Once you pass, you've completed the first test.

He felt he hadn't reached his limit yet.

His willpower reached a new level, and the test of the Bridge of Dreams was no longer so difficult for him.

"Whoo~"

After exhaling a heavy breath, his eyes became even brighter, as if they were illuminating the entire world.

He then proceeded to the 100th level of the challenge.

"Huh~"

As strong gusts of wind swept over his body, his body began to weaken.

In the shortest of moments, he had turned into an old man.

His physical strength had weakened to the extreme.

Not only that, waves of pain surged through my mind, and at the same time, hallucinations struck again.

It made him feel as if he had reached the finish line.

However, Lin Qi's will was firm, and the illusion quickly shattered.

Then comes the 100-kilometer stretch of road.

Asking a 90-year-old to walk 100 kilometers is simply too much to ask.

Moreover, the entire process caused severe pain in the body.

A 100-kilometer bridge is simply too long.

However, it didn't have much of an impact on Lynch.

His emotions did not fluctuate much.

We'll move forward little by little.

Even if he couldn't see the end, he kept moving forward. Even when he was tired, in pain, weak, or sleepy, nothing could disturb his will.

Finally, he moved forward little by little.

As we moved forward slowly, time seemed to drag on endlessly, each second feeling exceptionally long.

He moved forward little by little.

10 kilometer, 30 kilometers, 50 kilometers, 90 kilometers...

As he approached the "last kilometer," Lynch felt his body had reached its limit.

Only willpower sustains bodily functions.

Once you relax, your body will immediately fall apart, leading to death and an inability to get up again.

He's relying on sheer willpower right now.

He relied on that last breath to endure endless pain and finally reached the end.

Even their vision became blurred, and their eye function began to deteriorate.

But he felt the finish line was just around the corner.

Despite his blurred vision, he took the final step.

With the final step taken.

"Buzz!!"

The weakening aura began to cease, and new life was born from the body.

Energy continuously flows into the body.

The necrotic internal organs, as well as other organs, began to show signs of new life.

Power began to flow back into his body, and his body began to recover rapidly.

"Dong Dong!!"

My heart began to beat rapidly and powerfully.

His once aged body began to gradually regain its youth.

His body, which had been hunched over, began to straighten, and finally regained its original domineering and sharp appearance.

Lynch's vision began to clear.

Even his eyes were deep and contained boundless power.

[Congratulations, Lynch member, you have successfully passed level 100 of the Dream Bridge!]

You have successfully cleared the Bridge of Dreams and will receive 100 billion cultivation points.

[You have become the 149th genius in the Primordial Sanctuary to pass all 100 levels of the Dream Bridge.]

[Ranking (Star Evolution): 25→1]

[Since you have already completed level 100 of the Bridge of Dreams, you will be automatically removed from the leaderboard.]

……

Lin Qi looked at the pop-up message and a dangerous expression appeared on his face.

"Finally beat the game!"

He was quite surprised by the result.

I originally thought I could get through four or five levels this time.

Then go back and practice some more.

Unexpectedly, they managed to open the Dream Bridge in one go.

All 100 levels passed.

Even at the very end, he felt that he had just reached his limit.

If there are more challenging problems, he is still willing to try them.

This shows that his willpower has truly reached a whole new level.

The challenges of the Dream Bridge can no longer stop him.

Another happy thing is that I earned a lot of points.

I completed 10 levels and earned a total of 550 billion cultivation points.

He now has nearly a hundred billion cultivation points.

This is an extremely large number.

He then glanced at the message.

He became the 149th person in the primordial holy land to pass the test of the dream bridge.

Fewer people passed than he had imagined.

Aside from the supreme beings and rulers, only a few invincible individuals can pass through.

This is of very high quality.

With that in mind, he chose to withdraw.

There won't be a next time; he won't try again.

……

On the plaza outside the Bridge of Dreams.

By this time, a large number of members had been gathered, a rare feat.

A commotion erupted in the crowd, with countless people displaying expressions of shock.

In particular, a large screen appeared.

[Congratulations to Lynch for becoming the 149th member of the Primordial Holy Land to cross the Bridge of Dreams.]

"Holy crap, what did I just see?"

"Gun Demon actually beat the game?"

"This is 100 levels!!"

"Trump just passed it like that?"

"He cleared the last ten levels in one go! That's inhuman, absolutely ruthless!"

"The trial has only been going on for about 300 years, and Lin Qi has already passed it?"

"I remember that other legendary geniuses seemed to need nearly 2000 years to pass the test."

"This is already a record-breaking achievement."

"Too strong!"

"..."

Everyone was talking about it.

At the same time, they saw the person in question walk out of the door. The other person's eyes were deep and bright, and the moment they met their gaze, it was as if they saw the endless universe.

"call out!"

They watched as the other transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing from sight.
