Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han tried to walk downwards, descending one stone step. As expected, the invisible pressure increased once more.

He was secretly shocked. What kind of ghostly place was this? Why was it so strange?

Fortunately, he had only descended fifty or so steps. If he had gone up two hundred steps, wouldn't he be truly stuck, unable to ascend or descend?

"Try flying down?"

Jiang Han circulated his Xuan energy, wanting to fly down. But the moment his foot left the stone step, the pressure suddenly increased a hundredfold, as if he were flying from mid-air into the ten-zhang zone of the black hole.

"Buzz ~"

Jiang Han took out the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, wanting to enter it. But similarly, his body was unable to leave the ground, and the suction force within the Heavenly Beast Cauldron couldn't pull him in.

"Too bizarre!"

Jiang Han put away the Heavenly Beast Cauldron and looked up at the top, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He actually faintly saw some blurry words appearing on the wordless monument at the top of the heavenly staircase?

He thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes, wanting to see more clearly. However, the words were very blurry, and he couldn't make out what they were.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han thought he was hallucinating. His eyesight was very strong now. He could see the legs of mosquitoes ten miles away. This heavenly staircase wasn't that high, yet he couldn't see the words on it?

Moreover, there was nothing on this wordless monument before. Now, some blurry words had suddenly appeared?

He looked at it a few more times, then turned his gaze to Little Fish and said, "Little Fish, look at the monument up there. Can you see any words on it?"

"I can't see it!"

Little Fish shook her head and then added, "Before, when Da Hei and I went up a hundred steps, I could see some words, but they were a bit blurry. You can't see anything from below."

"So that's how it is!"

Jiang Han was even more surprised. It seemed it wasn't a hallucination, but that the words on this wordless monument only appeared after climbing the stairs?

Now he saw them blurry, did that mean the higher he climbed, the clearer the words would become?

A hundred steps wasn't clear enough? Did he need to climb two hundred steps, or three hundred steps? Or did he have to wait until he climbed to the top of the heavenly staircase to see the words clearly?

What exactly was written on this stone tablet?

Jiang Han became increasingly curious. He had a feeling that perhaps if he could see the words on this stone tablet clearly, he could know where the black hole led to?

The question was, could he climb to the top of the heavenly staircase?

He was a bit doubtful!

He sat down cross-legged, resting and considering whether to continue climbing.

If he continued climbing and could reach the top of the heavenly staircase, he could solve the mystery of the heavenly staircase and the black hole.

Perhaps there would be unexpected gains, such as… finding the opportunity to merge with the Dao?

But what if he couldn't climb up and got stuck halfway? He might be trapped up there, unable to ascend or descend, and that would be terrible.

If he were trapped on the heavenly staircase for ten or eight years, the great war outside would probably be over. If the Peaceful Alliance were to suffer a major defeat, his relatives and clansmen might all be dead by the time he got out?

He was very conflicted!

The spiritual energy emanating from above the black hole was very powerful, feeling like it was of a different level than the spiritual energy of this world.

If it was truly the spiritual energy of the Upper Realm, would absorbing some of it give him a greater chance of merging with the Dao?

Without merging with the Dao, he could help in the great war, but he couldn't have a decisive effect.

Relying on Ling Su, Yan Qin, Bian Cheng Wang, and Qin Guang Wang, they would probably have a hard time defeating Huang Xiao, because once the final battle came, Huang Xiao would likely fuse all four Daos.

Jiang Han's heart was in turmoil!

After thinking for a long time, he still hadn't made up his mind. Little Fish below saw him not moving and said, "Big brother, why aren't you climbing anymore? Hurry up and climb to the very top, and then take me up there. I want to find my mother…"

Jiang Han smiled wryly and said, "It's hard enough for me to climb up now, it'll be even harder to come down. How am I going to take you up there then? Besides, even if I can climb to the top, I might not be able to enter the black hole."

"No!"

Little Fish said very firmly, "Big brother, as long as you can climb up, you can definitely come down, and you can definitely enter that big hole. Also, big brother, if you can climb this heavenly staircase, I feel like your combat power will soar."

"Oh?"

Jiang Han was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? Can you see something?"

"I can…"

Little Fish pointed at the black hole and said, "There are many mysterious rhymes in that big hole. Although I don't understand them, I feel they are very powerful. If big brother can cultivate under the big hole for a while, he will definitely become even more powerful."

"This…"

Jiang Han suddenly looked up at the black hole above, but couldn't see anything.

Although he couldn't see anything, his heart became hot.

Little Fish possessed a very strange ability, able to see dangers in the distance. Little Fish couldn't be lying to him, which meant that there really were very powerful Dao rhymes, divine rhymes, and heavenly principles within the black hole?

Perhaps, his opportunity to merge with the Dao was under the black hole?

"Go up or not?"

Jiang Han's heart was in turmoil again. His gaze swept back and forth between the stone tablet above and the black hole.

After hesitating for a dozen breaths, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Go!

It was very difficult for him to merge with the Dao after fusing four Daos.

He had been to so many secret realms and cultivated in so many mysterious places, but he still felt it was difficult to merge with the Dao. He had also obtained Ling Shiyu's spiritual rhyme, but he still couldn't merge with the Dao.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be unable to merge with the Dao.

If he couldn't merge with the Dao, it wouldn't be of much significance to the great war. Even if he could use the Four Extremes Wind Prison and the Death God's Hall to trap some Dao-Merging experts, so what?

He couldn't contend with Huang Xiao and Ming Qiang, so the Peaceful Alliance would likely be defeated in the great war.

Besides, he also had a pursuit of martial arts, and he also wanted to merge with the Dao.

Countless people placed their hopes on him, and he couldn't let those people down. What obstacles hadn't he encountered along the way? He didn't believe he couldn't overcome this obstacle?

So many experts in the myriad worlds merged with the Dao. He was the number one young person of the human race. If he couldn't even achieve the mere Dao-Merging, it would be a disgrace to that title.

"That's not right!"

He suddenly thought of something. Should he go down first and bring Yan Qin over?

Yan Qin was a reincarnated cultivator, and she still retained the memories of her previous life.

She was from the Upper Realm and had seen a lot. Perhaps she could easily go up? Could easily break the invisible pressure here?

"That's right…"

Jiang Han was overjoyed. He could go out and bring Yan Qin over. If Yan Qin couldn't enter this secret realm, he could use the Heavenly Beast Cauldron to bring her in?

"Go down!"

Jiang Han began to quickly walk downwards. As expected, the pressure continued to increase as he went down.

But he had only climbed a few dozen steps. Even if the pressure increased again, he could still withstand it by gritting his teeth, and it took him half an hour to walk down the heavenly staircase.

"Big brother, why did you come down?"

Little Fish walked over. Jiang Han smiled and said, "I want to go out for a while and bring my mother in. Maybe she can easily break the heavenly staircase and take us up!"

"Go out?"

Little Fish frowned and said, "But… we can't go out. The passage here can only be entered, not exited. Da Hei and I tried several times, but we couldn't get out!"

"What?"

Jiang Han was dumbfounded. What kind of ghostly place was this?

You could enter but not exit?

Then even if he merged with the Dao, what would be the point?
