Chapter 494 The Sea of Learning is Boundless, and Joy is the Boat
The reason is simple: the Emperor's bloodline, which had been dormant for thousands of years within Lin Hanzhou's body, began to boil like a starry sea being ignited under the stimulation of this terrifying pressure!
Under this extreme pressure, equivalent to "an ordinary person wearing heavy armor", every bit of blood and qi in his body was forced to undergo an extremely microscopic, yet extremely cruel, "high-pressure purification" as it circulated!
Because of the immense pressure, those tiny impurities that were originally hidden deep within the Great Emperor's essence are being squeezed out little by little by this heavy pressure, and then turned into nothingness under the frenzied flushing of blood and qi!
"Tempering... My physical body has actually begun to temper itself again under this pressure!"
Lin Hanzhou suddenly opened his eyes, his deep gaze now completely filled with a fervent fire of seeking the Dao.
Although the effect of this tempering is still negligible compared to his vast and powerful physical body, the progress is extremely slow.
But! There are more than a hundred steps!
Lin Hanzhou suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the golden road above, which was still endless and completely hidden in the thick, dim yellow mist.
Moreover, Lin Hanzhou keenly sensed that just as he stepped onto the hundredth step and was bearing a hundred times the pressure,
The concentration of the golden "celestial energy" floating in the dim yellow mist around us was more than twice as concentrated as it was at the entrance!
Time seems to stretch infinitely on this endless path to immortality.
In this strange space filled with a dim yellow mist, the only proof that time was still passing was the extremely monotonous yet steady sound of footsteps, like the pulse of heaven and earth.
"Thump."
"Thump."
"Thump."
Lin Hanzhou continued climbing.
The higher you go, the more terrifying the pressure becomes.
From level 100 to level 199, Lin Hanzhou seemed to be carrying an entire galaxy on his back as he struggled forward.
When he crossed the 200th step, the pressure underwent another extremely abnormal qualitative change!
If Lin Hanzhou at this moment were to be viewed in the context of an ordinary person, he would no longer feel as if he were wearing heavy iron armor.
Instead, he was pressed under a mountain made of solid cast iron, and every breath he took felt like swallowing a sharp blade, scraping his internal organs and causing them to ache!
His once leisurely pace had now become extremely slow.
Each time he lifted his leg, each time he landed, he needed to pause for several breaths to gather the vital energy of the Emperor throughout his body and resist the pressure that seemed to be crushing his soul.
On his forehead, on skin that had never sweated in five thousand years, a layer of sweat was now seeping out.
However, even though the pace had slowed to an extreme; even though each leg lift required enduring unimaginable physical strain.
Lin Hanzhou's handsome face, which was slightly pale, always wore an extremely strange, even somewhat crazy, smile!
Because he could clearly feel that his physical body was getting stronger!
Under immense pressure, his physical strength increased by at least 30% compared to before!
Although the pressure was so intense it felt like going crazy, the thrill of watching yourself break free from constraints and grow stronger was more intoxicating than any other form of bliss!
As the ancients said, "There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat."
With great difficulty, Lin Hanzhou lifted his right leg and firmly stepped onto the 215th step, letting the terrifying pressure make his bones crack. Yet, he smiled like a foolish student who had found a peerless secret manual in a sea of books.
"But what they don't know is that when a person truly touches the edge of the great truth, that so-called 'bitterness' has long since become the sweetest poison in the world."
"This isn't 'working hard as a boat,' it's clearly 'finding joy in the boundless sea of learning'!"
"Again! I want to see what lies at the end of this road!"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes gleamed with fervor. He gritted his teeth and continued his extreme arduous training on this lonely yet fortuitous path, a path reserved for those who strive for the ultimate.
216.
217.
Two hundred and twenty.
The pressure was mounting rapidly, while the ethereal aura was growing stronger.
However, just as Lin Hanzhou's slow but firm steps reached the 223rd golden step,
His smiling face suddenly froze.
His right foot, which he was about to lift to step onto the next level, was abruptly suspended in mid-air, as if frozen in place, unable to move forward even an inch.
It wasn't that the pressure of the 223rd step was too great for him to bear.
Rather, it's because...
Right in front of him, on the golden steps less than ten feet away, a scene appeared that made his hair stand on end instantly!
