Chapter 119: Yuanshi Bridge

  Stardust tears through the dark night, like a meteor, ripping apart the veil of night.

  The starlight flickers in the daytime, like a startled swan, a glimpse and it's gone!

  "Riding the wind and wielding a sword, entering and exiting the blue sky. We are not ordinary people, we should be like this!"

  A young scholar dressed in Ningfeng style, with a hint of bookish elegance, sits sideways on the flag of Huanhuo, with white clouds pierced before his eyes, and his hair and sleeves blown by the strong wind, adding to his free-spirited demeanor.

  "It's just a pity there's no wine."

  Ning Feng smacked his lips, feeling rather regretful.

  If I had a calabash of fine wine in hand, with the unpredictable changes of the white clouds and the vast expanse of the sky, wouldn't it be delightful to float on a great white cloud!

  He was indulging in a reverie when suddenly a nameless burning sensation took hold of his body.

  It started out warm, like a winter hot spring; then it stung, just like scalding water pouring down; finally it turned into a scorching heat, as if the wind itself was almost smelling of burnt smell.

  "Ah~"

  "What's going on?"

  The wind suddenly let out a loud cry, but all that could be seen was the banner of the planet Mars fluttering back and forth. It had just entered a layer of thin, flying clouds, when it immediately flew back, twisted and turned, like a drunken man staggering along the street, singing a crazy song.

  "Cheers!"

  Ning Feng's body was originally bursting with the true power of Taiyang, only then could he experience the thrill of entering and exiting the Qingming realm. At this moment, under the stimulation, he almost lost control, and it was a close call that he managed to control the Huanhuo flag from falling down.

  He suddenly lowered his head and looked at his own chest.

  The originally cyan-colored book robe was actually a golden brocade with a warm, reddish hue that seemed to burst forth like the morning sun, spreading and diffusing in all directions.

  "Boom! Boom-boom-boom!"

  A loud noise, constantly coming from that warm and sunny place. Ning Feng's clothes were bulging up in every direction, just like a scorching hot heart was waking up from its slumber, starting to beat vigorously.

  That throbbing thing is not the heart.

  Ning Feng's face suddenly changed, with a mix of surprise and panic, blurting out: "Yuanshi Bridge!"

  A scene emerged in his mind. It was him obtaining the Yuanshi Bridge from Tianyunzi, and like hanging the Jiuyou Stone in the Soul Realm back then, he hung it on his chest.

  At that moment, the movements flashed before Ning Feng's eyes one by one. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the throbbing object.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the sudden change was indeed due to that treasure of opportunity - Yuanshi Bridge.

  "It's too hot!"

  This is Ning Feng's reaction at the moment he grabbed the Yuanshi Bridge.

  Before this, Yuan Shi Bridge was as warm and smooth as jade stone, never having such a reaction.

  "It's alive!"

  The second thought that emerged in Ning Feng's mind was this.

  Yuanshi Bridge was in his palm. As if it had a life of its own, it swayed back and forth, jumped up and down, as if trying to escape from his palm.

  "Grow up!"

  The third thought. In an instant when Ning Feng let go of his hand, it suddenly emerged from his mind.

  As his palm grasped the Yuanshi Bridge, he clearly felt the Yuanshi Bridge expanding, as if it would burst open his palm and tear apart his golden robe.

  "Terrible!"

  The wind was so strong that it almost bit his tongue, and unknowingly, countless clouds gathered around him, entwining him like a lovesick person.

  "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!"

  Ning Feng took a deep breath of cool air, and in his heart, it was as clear as a mirror. Where the clouds were swirling, it was actually the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathering, rolling up the cloud energy.

  In a flash of time, the gathered clouds formed a whirlpool shape, just like a huge cloud sea eye, stretching across the sky.

  "It absorbs the primordial energy of heaven and earth, then..."

  Ning Feng thought of a terrible scene, and suddenly lost control, letting out a strange cry. He pressed both hands on the flag, and rapidly fell towards the ground.

  One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

  Four or five breaths passed, and Ning Feng's chest occasionally bulged, with the package under his clothes swelling to almost the size of a watermelon. If someone didn't know better, they might think he was a thief who had been hiding a watermelon in his clothes for half a day.

  "Faster, faster!"

  Ning Feng hated that he couldn't make a bow to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky who knew his name in this life and the previous one, not asking for anything else, just hoping to land quickly.

  Just a few breaths ago, he hated flying not high enough to see the nine heavens and clouds, and now it's just the opposite, only hating that he flew too high, and for a while couldn't get down.

  Rumble, rumble, rumble...

  A loud noise, in the midst of Ning Feng's prayer to the gods and Buddha on the vast plain, shook the earth, stirring up clouds of dust and smoke, amidst which a banner fluttered aloft, only to fall back down dozens of feet away, slanting into the ground.

  "Cough cough cough... Cough cough cough..."

  Ning Feng coughed and rushed out of the smoke dust in disarray. The first thing he did was to pull his hand up onto his shoulder, grabbing at his clothes.

  With a "brush" sound, golden light flashed, and in an instant, his clothes transformed from a scholar's robe to a golden brocade garment, completely unlike normal clothes changing methods, as if he had simply grabbed them up like that.

  Golden light converged, condensed, and finally coalesced into a ball of golden light with thousands of strands entwined together in Ning Feng's palm.

  This is the true appearance of Jinlv clothing.

  Ning Feng didn't care about all that at this time, one hand grasped the collar of his clothes, wanting to tear them open.

  This time, however, it was half a beat late.

  He had just made this move, and in that one-thousandth of a second, the force was released. With a "ripping" sound, Ning Feng's upper body clothes directly shattered into butterflies flying everywhere.

  "Whoosh!"

  A bright yellow light shot out from Ning Feng's chest, swelling against the wind, and in an instant it grew from the size of a fist to that of a watermelon, then to the size of a person.

  And when it was about to land, it looked almost identical to a small house.

  "Hoo hoo hoo hoo~~"

  Ning Feng stared intently at the scene while gasping for air like a bellows, and it was just a hair's breadth away from things going terribly wrong.

  His clothes being blown to shreds was a small matter, but what if he had slowed down by just a little bit before the Golden Thread Robe burst open at Yuanshi Bridge and expanded to its current state? Was it the Golden Thread Robe that was torn apart or was Ning Feng himself crushed into a pulp in the midst of their conflicting forces?

  It's hard to say for sure.

  Ning Feng wiped a cold sweat and curiously watched the changes of Yuanshi Bridge with his bare back.

  The most dangerous moment has passed, and curiosity immediately ran out restlessly again.

  The Heavenly Spirit Vortex that had been putting immense pressure on Ning Feng earlier was also displaced as the Primordial Bridge flew out, and in this short period of time, it expanded more than tenfold.

  "Back off!"

  Although Ning Feng's heart still had lingering fear, he retreated several steps and thought it was still not safe, "Let's retreat a bit further."

  He retreated this time, and 180 zhang were lost in an instant.

  "Boom!!"

  A loud explosion, just at this moment burst open, even if it was a hundred feet away, Ning Feng was still hit by the shockwave and stumbled backwards, almost in an iron bridge shape.

  "No way."

  Ning Feng came back to his senses and looked ahead intently, his mouth immediately unable to close.

  The sky was filled with smoke and dust, and the gathered heavenly energy dissipated in an instant, also being expelled. Looking down from high above, it would be a ring-shaped smoke rolling away into the distance.

  Looking from this angle in Ningfeng, everything is clear and distinct, even if it's hundreds of feet away, it can still be seen clearly, not much different from looking at the lines on your palm.

  In fact, he didn't need to gaze into the distance at all; as long as he lowered his head and took a look, he would be able to see what he had been expecting.

  The yellow stone bridge stretched out in a straight line, all the way down to his feet.

  The distance under Ning Feng's feet was just one step away, the first yellowish-brown brick, exuding an indescribable aura, seemed to be inviting him, beckoning him to set foot on it.

  At a distance of about 100 zhang, the brand new Yuan Shi Bridge is still below the highest point of the bridge arch, as if standing at the foot of the mountain to look at the waist of the mountain, and it is impossible to accurately judge how far away from the top of the mountain.

  Ning Feng mentally calculated it for a moment, but he couldn't figure out how many times the Yuanshi Bridge had expanded from its original size of a palm-sized treasure to the magnificent structure in front of him.

  Since he couldn't figure it out clearly, he simply didn't bother anymore and started concentrating on observing the Yuanshi Bridge.

  The Yuanshui Bridge in front of me is made of a material that is neither gold nor stone, with a uniform bright yellow color. Each brick on the ground has no patterns, and there are no stone carvings or mysterious road decorations on the bridge, giving people a feeling of simplicity and ancient charm, with a flavor that seems to have been passed down for centuries.

  "Yuanshi Bridge indeed has the aura of Yuanshi."

  Ning Feng exclaimed in admiration, with a heart full of anticipation, and took his first step onto the Yuan Shi Bridge...
