Chapter 686 Leading the Way to Self-Destruction!

Luo Feng immediately understood after hearing Lin Dong's words.

He first glanced back at Shi Hao, who was gradually recovering, and then nodded vigorously, saying, "We can give it a try. Since Shi Hao was able to walk this path, it means that this path is feasible."

Han Li hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, since Brother Shi Hao is scouting ahead, let's give it a try. If we fail, we can always get back up."

Qian Renxue chimed in, "It sounds crazy, but I'm willing to give it a try..."

Seeing that everyone else wanted to try it, Qingyi and Fengwu exchanged a glance and decided to go with the flow.

Qin Hao gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly, his eyes filled with determination, and said, "If my brother can do it, I can definitely do it too..."

The group exchanged glances, then sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to try to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao on the three thousand blue stone steps, just like Shi Hao had done.

With Shi Hao's successful precedent, they felt confident and acted more quickly.

Lin Dong extended his divine sense to its limit and quickly touched the Dao traces flowing on the stone steps beneath his feet.

Those Dao traces flowed slowly in his perception like tiny rivers, containing ancient and mysterious power.

He could sense that each path on these steps was different.

Some are as fiery as fire, some as cold as frost, some as sharp as swords, some as heavy as mountains...

"I see."

Lin Dong's heart stirred, and he immediately began to try to introduce these Dao traces into his body.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Luo Feng also quickly entered a state of comprehension.

His divine sense was more refined than Lin Dong's, and he was able to discern the subtle differences in each Dao trace.

However, he did not rush to get burned, but instead carefully comprehended and tried to find the paths that were most suitable for him.

Han Li remained the same as always.

Seeing that Lin Dong and Luo Feng had already begun to comprehend, he first set up several array flags to protect himself, and then cautiously extended his divine sense.

He has always been cautious in his work, and even with Shi Hao's success, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

At this moment, Qian Renxue, Qingyi, Fengwu, Qin Hao, and the seven or eight cultivators from the Sinful State also closed their eyes, immersing themselves in the comprehension of the Great Dao.

However, they soon encountered problems.

Lin Dong felt that he had already touched those Dao traces, and was even able to draw them to his side!

However, when he tried to integrate these Dao traces into his body and use heaven and earth as a furnace to refine himself, he found that there was an invisible membrane blocking the way.

The membrane was invisible and intangible, yet it truly existed, separating him from the true meaning of the Great Dao.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through.

"what happened?"

Lin Dong frowned and increased the pulling force on the Dao trace.

His spiritual energy surged wildly, attempting to forcibly tear open that membrane.

"—Buzz!"

Those Dao traces suddenly trembled violently, as if they had been provoked.

A terrifying backlash surged from the stone steps, rushing directly into Lin Dong's sea of ​​consciousness along with his divine sense.

Lin Dong felt a roar in his mind, his vision went black, and he almost fell off the stone steps.

"not good!"

Luo Feng encountered the same problem.

Although he did not force a breakthrough like Lin Dong, when he tried to integrate the Dao traces into himself, that membrane also appeared, and it was even more resilient than the one Lin Dong encountered.

He tried to bypass the membrane and approach it from another angle, but found that the Dao traces he attracted were becoming more and more numerous and chaotic. In the end, they even formed a huge vortex around his sea of ​​consciousness, spinning wildly and almost sucking his divine sense into it. Han Li and Qian Renxue encountered the same situation.

Han Li's divine sense was inherently more sensitive than that of others.

At this moment, I felt the repulsive force emanating from the Great Dao.

The feeling was like a stranger trespassing into someone else's territory and being unceremoniously driven out by the owner.

"Brother Shi Hao... how could this happen?"

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and shouted, his mind now in complete chaos.

Those Dao traces were like countless venomous snakes writhing in his mind, threatening to spiral out of control at any moment.

Luo Feng couldn't hold on any longer either.

At this moment, veins bulged on his forehead, sweat poured down his face, and the spiritual energy within his body began to flow in reverse.

This is a sign of going astray in cultivation.

Although Han Li managed to withdraw his divine sense in time, he was still injured by the backlash. His chest heaved with blood and qi, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At this critical moment.

A golden figure suddenly burst out from the pillar of light and landed steadily in front of everyone.

It was Shi Hao; he had finally fully woken up.

Shi Hao glanced around and immediately understood what had happened.

Without saying a word, he formed a hand seal, and a golden light screen flew out from his palm, enveloping Lin Dong, Luo Feng, Han Li, and the others.

On the light screen, mysterious runes flowed, suppressing the out-of-control Dao traces one by one.

"receive!"

Shi Hao let out a low shout, and then slammed his hands together.

"—Smack!!!"

The Dao traces that had been raging in Lin Dong and the others' seas of consciousness were now as if they had been grasped by an invisible hand, slowly pulled out of their bodies, and then quickly dissipated into the air.

In an instant.

Lin Dong felt a lightness in his head, and the tearing sensation finally disappeared.

Before long, Luo Feng, Lin Dong, and the others had all recovered.

"Brother Shi Hao, thank you so much for saving my life!"

Lin Dong clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shi Hao, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Shi Hao waved his hand, frowned, and asked, "Why are you also trying to burn your bodies to guide the Dao?"

Luo Feng, panting heavily, explained, "We saw you succeed and wanted to try it too, but..."

At this point, Luo Feng's expression suddenly became somewhat awkward.

He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I almost integrated all the profound meaning of the Great Dao on these three thousand bluestone steps into my sea of ​​consciousness, but for some reason, I was unable to succeed. I felt that those Dao traces were right in front of me, but it was as if they were separated by a layer of glass, and I could not reach them no matter what I did."

Lin Dong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right. I can feel those Dao traces, but I just can't integrate them. When I try to force a breakthrough, I get a backlash instead."

Han Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "I feel the same way. Those Dao marks seem to have an instinctive aversion to us, unlike how they are close to Brother Shi Hao."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and Qingyi nodded in agreement, indicating that they had encountered the same problem.

He was clearly close to reaching those three thousand great paths, but he just couldn't take that final step.
