Why would I notify you? Does it make any difference?

The Thunder Emperor was taken aback by Yi Shuihan's question. After being dragged up the steps, he muttered for a long time, "The difference is that I was mentally prepared!"

Because of this unexpected incident, Yi Shuihan and his group were delayed by a day; in fact, Yi Shuihan himself was dragged down by it.

After this experience, Yi Shuihan knew that he had to pass each and every one of these trials. However, due to the Crimson Ladder, Yi Shuihan could only travel with Mad Thunder Emperor and the others, and could not go solo.

The next day, the strategy continued.

With Yi Shuihan's help, Emperor Kuang Lei and Emperor Vera passed through the first corpse, then the second, and the third...

In one day, Yi Shuihan led them through ten corpses and then began repairs. It wasn't that Yi Shuihan was incompetent; it was simply that the bodies of Kuang Lei Dizun and the others couldn't withstand the strain.

Yi Shuihan can clear the path alone without injury, but if he brings someone with him, that person will likely suffer some injury. If he brings two people with him, Yi Shuihan himself will probably get hurt.

For each body, Yi Shuihan actually had to go through it three times: once for himself, and once each for Kuang Lei Di Zun and Vera Di Zun.

As a result, Yi Shuihan's workload was actually quite large. After completing 30 repetitions, he would need to catch his breath and rest.

Of course, compared to Yi Shuihan, the other two were in a much worse state, covered in wounds, and had to quickly heal themselves when the battle ended.

While it takes a day to clear the level, it takes several days to heal the wounds, greatly slowing down the progress. At this rate, and considering that the difficulty increases as you go further down, it is estimated that it will take several years or even more than ten years to completely pass through this area.

Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor were also aware that they were dragging Yi Shuihan down, and they felt very embarrassed, but Yi Shuihan couldn't just ignore them.

With the Crimson Staircase there, the Thunder Emperor and the others could survive here. If they took the Crimson Staircase and went up first, and then Yi Shuihan came down alone, it would be feasible and would take less time, but it would make Yi Shuihan seem too heartless.

In fact, Yi Shuihan knew that sending Kuang Lei Di Zun and the others up first was the best way to serve his interests, but he was unwilling. He was proud and didn't want to be the kind of selfish person.

Chapter 1536, Successfully Breaking Through the Emperor's Tomb Area

Before they knew it, they had already traversed more than half of the imperial tomb area. It had taken them a little longer than Yi Shuihan had anticipated, a total of five years.

It wasn't just a matter of spatial pressure; the power and speed of the explosions increased as time went on, so the healing time for the Thunder Emperor and the others increased considerably. In fact, a year ago, Yi Shuihan was already unable to carry people without any injuries, and recently he even suffered some injuries while traveling alone. However, compared to the Thunder Emperor and the others, his recovery ability was too strong, so in terms of time, his recovery time didn't increase much.

"Is everything ready? If it is, let's get started."

It was time to challenge the level again. Yi Shuihan was fine, but Kuang Lei Dizun and Vera Dizun trembled when they heard this.

"Could you give me a little more time to prepare?"

The Thunder Emperor spoke weakly. It wasn't that he was afraid of pain or injury. If he could get through it in one go, no matter how serious the injury was, he would just have to endure it and it would be over without even frowning. However, the current situation was slightly different.

Anyone who knows they are about to be injured, and that the injury will at least shorten many bones, and that the injury will continue to worsen after recovery, will feel uneasy. For the Thunder Emperor, these past few years have been nothing but injury and healing, just two states, and the memories are full of sadness.

How long do you need to prepare?

Yi Shuihan asked in a very friendly manner, his face full of smiles.

"No, don't prepare, I've been prepared for a long time. I was just setting the mood. Let's get started! I'm itching to get started."

I saw the same smile last time. Originally, the Thunder Emperor's injury would have only resulted in a few broken bones, but he ended up breaking most of his bones, making his injury more than ten times worse. He had to recuperate for two months to recover.

"Alright, let's start with Empress Vera."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he naturally walked over and squatted down. Vera Emperor also naturally climbed onto Yi Shuihan's back and was carried on his back.

"Shouldn't I go first this time?"

"do you have any opinion?"

"no!"

There is a difference between going first and the consequences. If you go first, you are generally less likely to get injured than if you get the consequences, because Yi Shuihan will be in better condition the first time he helps.

The Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor have always taken turns going first. Don't talk about ladies first. They are both powerful beings who have achieved the Great Dao Emperor. The gender has long lost its practical significance. If ladies were to go first, it would be disrespectful to Vera Emperor.

Of course, at this moment, Yi Shuihan was obviously punishing Kuang Lei Dizun, and Vera Dizun did not say that she should go back on her word. She was happy to suffer less injury.

Under the frustrated gaze of the Thunder Emperor, Yi Shuihan began his challenge.

The process of clearing the level had been repeated many times before, and Yi Shuihan always cleared it himself before leading others, so he felt confident. This time was no exception, and they passed it smoothly.

Empress Vera was lucky this time; she only suffered minor injuries and will recover in a few days.

Half an hour later,

The Thunder Emperor lay sprawled on the crimson steps, muttering repeatedly, "Revenge! This is revenge."

Compared to Vera Emperor's good fortune, Mad Thunder Emperor suffered the second worst misfortune this time, with most of his bones shattered and requiring more than a month to recover.

In fact, Yi Shuihan really didn't do anything wrong this time, because even he himself had more than ten broken bones, making it the most serious injury he had ever suffered since coming here.

"It's starting to get a bit too difficult; we need to change our approach."

Because he had been leading people for a long time, Yi Shuihan's condition had not fully recovered, which is why he was injured unexpectedly.

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan shared his idea: he would only bring one person at a time, and then bring another person only after they had fully recovered. This way, Yi Shuihan would only need to rest more, but he would greatly reduce the severity of the second person's injury.

Following the plan of bringing people at full strength, Yi Shuihan and his group's speed of advancement did not decrease but increased until three years later when their speed decreased significantly again.

At this point, Yi Shuihan and his group had covered nearly four-fifths of the area, with only the final twenty percent remaining.

At this time, Yi Shuihan would inevitably get injured every time he had to pass a test, and the people he led would be even more seriously injured. Therefore, his recuperation time had increased significantly. In the past, it would take less than a day each time, but now it would take at least three days, or even longer.

It's impossible that he was really injured to the point of needing several days of rest. In reality, Yi Shuihan's recovery time was only a few hours at most, and the few days of rest he took were just a pretense.

Even going alone can lead to injury, let alone going with someone else; their speed is now at least ten times slower.

"This final leg of the journey will likely take longer than the previous ones."

Despite the long journey, Yi Shuihan never considered giving up, as did the Mad Thunder Emperor and the others, who at most complained a few times when they had to pass the level.

The final result was that the last 20% of the journey took nearly a hundred years. During this hundred years, the relationship between Yi Shuihan, Kuang Lei Dizun, and Vera Dizun developed very rapidly, after all, they had gone through so many life-and-death situations together.

Experiencing life and death together is one of the fastest ways to improve relationships. Even if you were strangers before, you can become friends after experiencing life and death together once, let alone if you experience life and death together repeatedly over a hundred years.

Yi Shuihan was never in mortal danger, while Kuang Lei Dizun and Vera Dizun faced life-or-death situations every time in the latter half of the journey. If anything happened to Yi Shuihan, they could have been killed by the explosion. So every time they passed a challenge, they were saved by Yi Shuihan, which made them extremely grateful to him. Therefore, relatively speaking, Yi Shuihan held a more important place in their hearts than they did in Yi Shuihan's heart.

To what specific level? Yi Shuihan felt that given his current relationship with Vera, as long as he expressed his desire to pursue her, she would most likely accept it. As for the Thunder Emperor, he estimated that he was about the same as the Ice Melting Emperor. After all, the Ice Melting Emperor had built up a relationship with Thunder Emperor over trillions of years.

"Finally we made it! That's great!"

Having completely traversed the area of ​​the Great Dao Emperor's Tomb, even though the Thunder Emperor was paralyzed once again, there was no trace of suffering on his face; instead, he was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Chapter 1537, The Futon

In a hundred years, Yi Shuihan and his group only traversed an imperial tomb area of ​​less than a thousand miles, which is even less than the progress made by other Great Dao Emperors. In a hundred years of adapting to the sinkhole, even the weakest Great Dao Emperors have traveled tens of thousands of miles more than at the beginning, and the most powerful ones have even reached an area of ​​nearly eighty thousand miles.

However, no matter how much the distance is, even if it is ten or dozens of times that of Yi Shuihan and his group, the significance is completely different. The thousand miles that Yi Shuihan and his group traveled was more significant than the millions of miles that other Great Dao Emperors traveled.

When the other Great Dao Emperors arrive at the Emperor's Tomb Area, they will experience true terror, even if they are more adaptable to the sinkhole than Yi Shuihan and the others were when they first arrived.

Without Yi Shuihan's help, only a handful of people would actually be able to pass through the Great Dao Emperor's Tomb area; most of the Great Dao Emperors would be eliminated.

Of course, it's too early to say anything now. After passing the Imperial Tomb area, Yi Shuihan and his group had a smooth path ahead thanks to the crimson steps, which greatly increased their speed of progress.

In just six months, they arrived at the bottom of the sinkhole.

When Yi Shuihan stepped onto the ground at the bottom of the sinkhole, the light of the Time Bead and the Magma Bead in his hands dissipated, as if suppressed by some kind of force, and they looked like two ordinary beads.

Moreover, when Yi Shuihan flew to a certain height after leaving the bottom of the sinkhole with the beads, the two beads remained unchanged, as if they had completely exhausted their energy.

"This is going to be difficult!"

The inability to form the Crimson Staircase worried Yi Shuihan. However, he himself was not in a bad situation. Having stayed on the Crimson Staircase for so long, he was no longer afraid of the spatial pressure of the sinkhole. He could fly up by himself, but he could not bring Kuang Lei Di Zun and Vera Di Zun with him.

The good news is that the pressure at the bottom of the sinkhole has basically disappeared. The pressure will only reappear when they leave the bottom of the sinkhole. The Thunder Emperor and the others cannot go up for the time being, but as long as they stay here for a while until their bodies are fully adapted, they can go back. The only drawback is that this time may be a bit long.

Everyone was initially in high spirits upon reaching the bottom of the sinkhole, but upon discovering this incident, their mood immediately soured considerably.

"So what if we're just temporarily trapped here? What's there to be afraid of? We are Great Dao Emperors, our time in seclusion will pass quickly. Now we should hurry up and search around, maybe the opportunity to break through is right here."

"Imperial Thunder God!" he shouted, but only after he finished speaking did he realize that there was no one beside him. Yi Shuihan and Emperor Vera had already begun their exploration. It seemed he had been too engrossed in his work to notice.

Yi Shuihan's first destination was the futon, while Empress Vera was studying the writing on the ground.

"It's very ordinary, as ordinary as can be."

This was the feeling the futon gave him, but of course, Yi Shuihan would never believe that the futon was as ordinary as it felt.

After staring at the prayer cushion for several minutes without moving, Yi Shuihan walked to the front of the cushion, bent down, and sat down naturally.

After Yi Shuihan fully performed the procedure, nothing happened. There was no inheritance as expected, not even a slight energizing effect.

"Is this not working correctly?"

He didn't give up easily. Next, Yi Shuihan struck various poses and muttered to himself from time to time.

"Open sesame."

"Prajnaparamita".

“Chicken stewed with mushrooms!”

"O primordial power that permeates heaven and earth! Awaken, return."

"..."

Not far away, the Thunder Emperor noticed Yi Shuihan's actions and felt quite embarrassed. He really wanted to go up and remind Yi Shuihan, but he felt that doing so would be dangerous and that he had escaped unscathed.

After a full half hour, Yi Shuihan abandoned his childish thoughts and decided to actually begin studying the meditation cushion.

"what!"

Yi Shuihan tried to stand up and applied various external forces to the futon, but she couldn't. Yes, she couldn't stand up because the futon had a suction force that held her firmly in place.

"One, two, rise!"

He strained to stand up, but it didn't help much. The most successful time, Yi Shuihan felt he moved about 1cm away.

"You lunatic, what are you doing, putting on a show?"

The Thunder Emperor had somehow appeared in front of Yi Shuihan. Seeing Yi Shuihan struggling to stand up, he was filled with doubt. He couldn't believe that Yi Shuihan really couldn't get up and thought that Yi Shuihan was just causing trouble.

"roll."

He glanced at the Thunder Emperor with a blank expression, then uttered a single word.

"That's not right of you, I..."

Finally, the Thunder Emperor shut up and obediently moved his feet, feeling somewhat afraid of Yi Shuihan's gaze.

After observing Yi Shuihan from a distance for a while, the Thunder Emperor finally realized one thing: Yi Shuihan was really in trouble. His eyes showed worry. He wanted to help but found that he couldn't. Yi Shuihan was much more capable than him. If Yi Shuihan couldn't do it, then he was even less capable.

Unable to offer assistance, the Thunder Emperor kept a close eye on Yi Shuihan's situation, ready to rush to her aid at the first sign of need.

Empress Vera was unaware of Yi Shuihan's condition. She was half-crouched, staring intently at the ground, one hand tracing the words on it. She seemed to be in some peculiar state, remaining motionless for quite some time.

Sitting on the futon, Yi Shuihan closed his eyes, carefully feeling the force that held him firmly in place.

After a long while, when Yi Shuihan opened his eyes again, all he saw was enlightenment.

"The futon is actually normal. What's abnormal is me. If you're sitting on a futon, you should be doing something. Otherwise, what's the point of sitting on a futon?"

A complex scripture slowly flowed from Yi Shuihan's mouth, and instantly a small domain formed around Yi Shuihan, separating the surrounding area.

"Is it just my imagination? That space seems..."

The Thunder Emperor, who had been watching Yi Shuihan closely, frowned slightly, looking in Yi Shuihan's direction with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

More than an hour later, after Yi Shuihan stopped chanting, he put his hands together and then easily stood up by using his waist to generate power.

Chapter 1538, Infectious Power

After standing up, Yi Shuihan examined the futon again, but still couldn't find anything different about it. Of course, having already verified the special features of the futon, he wouldn't underestimate it.

Next, Yi Shuihan used various methods to study the effects of fire, water, and refining on the futon.

One month later,

"It would be better to hold off for now and try a different approach."

With no progress in sight, Yi Shuihan's mind was in turmoil. He knew his mindset was wrong, but it wasn't so easy to control.

After putting the futon back in its original place, Yi Shuihan turned to study the writing on the ground.

More than ten days ago, Yi Shuihan discovered that both Kuang Lei Dizun and Vera Dizun had fallen into a mysterious state while studying the handwriting. However, Yi Shuihan was engrossed in studying the futon at the time, and since Kuang Lei Dizun and the others' auras did not change, he did not pay attention to them.

Walking a short distance from Kuang Lei, Yi Shuihan followed Kuang Lei's gaze and saw the words he was looking at.

It was more like scribbles than writing. Yi Shuihan had never seen such characters before. He could roughly understand the meaning of the characters; they seemed to be the character "thunder," and he could vaguely sense a strong Daoist intent within them.

"Thunder, lightning, is that why he can enter that state?"

Walking to the side of the Flower Stamen Emperor, I sensed a Dao that was very similar to the Dao of the Flower Stamen.

"It's a bit strange, there seems to be a sense of commonality between the two."
