Chapter 380 Broken Fish, Why Don't You Jump?
"Look, the Dragon Gate has appeared!"
"Wow, it really appeared?"
A radiant dragon gate gradually appeared above the East Forest Sea Canyon Bay, estimated to be several tens of feet above the sea.
At this moment, not only the demonic beasts cheered, but the cultivators were also extremely excited.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
The number of monsters and cultivators on the island has increased significantly since they arrived.
Since they had come here because of its reputation, they all knew about the time limit of the Dragon Gate display, so everyone rushed into the water and headed towards the Dragon Gate.
"Roar--"
"Wow..."
Besides the cultivators and demonic beasts on the island, many other demonic beasts from the sea also rushed over upon hearing the news.
Looking out, the sea surface was covered with countless human and monster heads.
Given that the Dragon Gate is narrow and high, not everyone, including every demon beast, can leap over it. At this moment, the middle-aged man with the highest cultivation level among the cultivators stepped forward.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to my advice. Line up one by one so that everyone can have a chance. If you all rush in together, you will not only waste time, but you will definitely miss the opportunity."
The middle-aged man's voice carried an air of authority, instantly silencing the commotion on the sea as everyone quickly fell silent.
So he began to make arrangements, "First, the cultivators will be in groups of ten, then the demon beasts will be in groups, alternating, and they will be lined up according to their cultivation level. Does anyone have any objections? Does Senior Dragon have anything to add?"
The middle-aged man then politely asked Long Jiaoyu for her opinion.
"No, let's begin." Long Jiaoyu was getting a little impatient with his act.
Wen Qiyuan took the initiative to speak: "Patriarch Chu, let's begin. Our family can be last in line."
This idea came about thanks to the information I had received from the head of the Chu family.
It turns out that for cultivators, this Dragon Gate is easy to cross once they reach the third level. Once they cross it, their cultivation level will rapidly increase by one realm. Some people with solid cultivation and deep opportunities may even increase by two realms.
However, for demonic beasts, leaping over the dragon gate is a bit complicated.
First, the monster must have a cultivation level of at least four levels; second, it must have a high jumping ability; and finally, it must have stamina.
The reason you need to have jumping ability is because if you can't even jump high enough to reach the Dragon Gate, what's the point of jumping? You might as well not come out and embarrass yourself.
As for endurance, that depends on the individual talents and supernatural abilities of each monster.
It is said that all the monsters that leap over the Dragon Gate must undergo a test. After passing the test, not only will their innate supernatural powers be enhanced, but their physical form will also undergo a qualitative change.
According to the Chu family head, this test was designed to assess the limits of the demonic beasts.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The first group of cultivators leaped over with ease. After they crossed, a wisp of light would float down from the Dragon Gate and envelop the cultivator. A moment later, the cultivator would disappear from the sea.
It is said that they were moved to another safe place under the cover of a halo, so that cultivators could focus on their cultivation and improve their realm. This information was supposedly obtained from the head of the Chu family.
After the cultivators skipped over, it was the turn of the demon beasts.
Some of the monsters had short legs and poor jumping ability, so they couldn't reach the Dragon Gate at all. After several attempts, they still couldn't achieve it. The Chu family head could only advise them that those who wanted to try again had to line up at the back.
Some demonic beasts arrived at the Dragon Gate, and as soon as they crossed it, a test immediately appeared. They were either engulfed in flames or frozen solid. Very few passed the test; they were either burned to death or frozen to death, falling into the sea from the Dragon Gate and perishing instantly.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. On the sea, only the Chu family of four, the Wen family of six, a turtle, a fish, and a group of monsters who had not yet realized their dreams and were unwilling to leave remained.
"Elder of the Wen family, please bring the Wen family's sons here," the Chu family head greeted.
“Patriarch Chu, why don’t you send your son first? We still have enough time, we won’t be short of a moment,” the Grandmaster replied.
There is indeed still time, half an hour left. After the Chu family members jump, only the Wen family members will remain on the sea. There is plenty of time, so there is no need to panic.
When everyone was jumping before, the Wen family watched from the sidelines, not only summarizing their experience but also secretly discussing a plan.
"Elder Wen, Wen Qiyuan, until we meet again."
"Brother Wen, Brother Ye, until we meet again."
"Wenwen, remember to come visit me in Xingyu City when you have time."
Whoosh! Bang!
As the voices faded, the Chu family members leaped over the Dragon Gate one after another.
A moment later, the group disappeared from the sea under the cover of the halo of light.
"Alright, now it's just us left."
Wen Chengbin said, "Grandpa Turtle, are you ready? Grandpa Dragon, are you?"
"Let's go, what's all the shouting about? Honestly." The old turtle was clearly a little uneasy.
Very few demon beasts had passed the test before. The old tortoise had witnessed the heavenly fire that those few demon beasts had endured, and now it felt a little scared. However, since it had come all this way, it had to grit its teeth and give it a try. It didn't want to have any regrets for the rest of its life, nor did it want to let someone down.
"Let's go, we have to give it a try."
Long Jiaoyu responded in a calm voice, but no one knew how nervous he was inside.
Before setting off, Wenwen once again reminded the turtle and the fish, "You two remember, if you can't withstand the test, take out your magic artifacts to save your lives. There are magic artifacts and pills in your storage bags. Use them when you need to. I don't expect you to achieve any quantitative or qualitative changes. Saving your lives is the most important thing. Old turtle, use your brain and remember that."
Then, the grandmaster also said, "Do your best, go."
The group floated to the surface of the sea and looked up at the Dragon Gate.
No one knows which deity came up with this idea, but the height of the Dragon Gate will be adjusted at any time according to everyone's cultivation level.
At this moment, the height of the Dragon Gate was clearly several zhang higher than before. That makes sense, since the highest cultivation level of the demon beasts before was the fifth level, while now there was a turtle and a fish on the sea, one at the sixth level and the other at the seventh level, which were definitely higher than before. Therefore, it was reasonable for the height of the Dragon Gate to increase.
"Old Turtle, you go first," Long Jiaoyu said politely.
"What do you mean 'first'? Isn't this the Dragon Gate you've been dreaming of?"
The old turtle snapped irritably, "You damn fish, why don't you jump!"
The grandmaster ordered: "Old Dragon, come here, jump quickly!"
Long Jiaoyu took a few deep breaths. "Okay, I'll do it."
The dragon-shaped fish charged forward with all its might from half a mile away, leaping like an arrow and landing right in front of the Dragon Gate. Just as its body crossed the threshold, a ball of heavenly fire ignited behind it, instantly burning off its tail.
"Broken fish, hang in there—"
As the sound arrived, the old tortoise also leaped over the dragon's threshold. It couldn't avoid being engulfed in flames, the fire raging even more fiercely than that of the dragon fish.
The old turtle was so frightened that it quickly retracted its limbs and head into its shell.
"Broken Turtle, you hold on too—" Long Jiaoyu encouraged the old turtle while enduring the test of the heavenly fire.
Then, the Wen brothers and Ye Jingchuan jumped over one after another.
"Oh my god, you two are so mushy," Wen Chengbin teased.
"A bond stronger than gold, it gives me goosebumps, tsk tsk tsk." Wen Chengjian said with a smile.
“Who says otherwise? All that fighting and arguing before, it turns out it was all a lie to us?” Ye Jingchuan said.
Then, Wen Qiyuan and his master jumped over one after another, and finally Wen Wen.
"Hehe, who can argue with that? The love-hate relationship perfectly describes Grandpa Turtle and Grandpa Dragon," Wenwen said.
After leaping over, the momentum propelled everyone forward for a distance before they fell into the water one by one.
At the same time, the heavenly fire on the old tortoise suddenly went out and fell directly near the group.
Just then, the dragon-shaped fish endured the pain and continued to leap forward. The next second after the heavenly fire was extinguished, it finally crossed the Dragon Gate and fell into the sea.
The sea surface calmed down instantly.
A moment later, a few wisps of light drifted down from the Dragon Gate, slowly enveloping the six people and the tortoise.
"Huh, where's Grandpa Long?" Wenwen asked, a little puzzled.
Before anyone could react, a deep and long whistle came from the sea.
