After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 427 Dragon Gate In The Heart

Dragon Gate was originally thousands of miles away, but after a winter passed and the snow melted, it appeared before their eyes.

Several people found it unbelievable, but clever individuals would find their own answers.

Zhang Chi pondered that he had probably passed the Dragon Gate's assessment with his state of mind.

Especially the ice and snow, it was the greatest test of the heart towards the Dao. In the dark and murky waters, the inner confusion and emptiness made it difficult to perceive the passage of time.

Yet, they still chose to bravely move forward.

Therefore, after the snow melted, they naturally arrived at the Dragon Gate.

Surely the Dragon Gate assessment wouldn't just be a time-consuming swim, right?

It was quite a coincidence that several people thought the same way.

Faintly sensing their thoughts, the Snow Mountain God finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that no one doubted her.

As for leaping over the Dragon Gate, she really couldn't help them cheat anymore, they had to do it themselves.

The Dragon Gate was right in front of them. In the eyes of the carp, it was a four-meter-high arched gate.

For a fish, a height of four meters was simply despairing, especially when the fish was in the water.

A regular human standing on land couldn't even jump over four meters with a running start.

Let alone a small carp?

Wasn't this last challenge the most difficult?

Zhang Chi tried to jump, and a fish leaped out of the water to a height of about one meter, then fell back down.

Snow Mountain God: "..."

Was the Dragon Race assessment really this absurd?

No wonder there were fewer and fewer dragons in the Dragon Race, this was too unfair!

Zhang Chi's willpower was already quite strong. Although he didn't complete the entire course as usual, he definitely couldn't be considered weak.

With such strength, he only managed to reach a quarter of the height of the Dragon Gate.

The gap was too large, there was simply no way to jump over it.

Hong Li also tried to jump, and indeed, she jumped slightly higher than Zhang Chi, but at most it didn't exceed one and a half meters. For a moment, Hong Li was dumbfounded.

The Dragon Gate was right in front of them, and the opportunity for Dragon Transformation was also right in front of them. However, this was clearly not something a fish could jump over.

At that moment, the fish's emotions were complicated.

And at the moment of despair for everyone, the archway gradually rose.

From four meters, it gradually rose to ten meters.

Wow, they couldn't even pass four meters, and now it's up to ten meters?

What else could they do besides lying down?

"I refuse to accept this, I must jump over it!"

Hong Li was full of unwillingness in her heart. In order to successfully undergo Dragon Transformation, she had experienced a wandering life.

Fortunately, she was also quite lucky to have survived, but she had also faced life-threatening situations.

Wasn't she working so hard just to become stronger?

Now, with the Dragon Gate right in front of her, she absolutely couldn't give up!

Hong Li tried again, still far from the distance.

But Hong Li clearly noticed that when she jumped with high spirits and leaped over the Dragon Gate, the height of the Dragon Gate decreased slightly.

It's said that there's always a way out. How could the Dragon Race trial not provide opportunities?

Along the way, it could be seen that the Dragon Race placed great emphasis on willpower. It was evident that as long as one's heart remained firm and unwavering, the difficulty would naturally decrease.

Conversely, if one felt that they couldn't do it, the Dragon Gate would become higher and higher.

Since that was the case, she would work hard to jump a few more times. Each time she jumped, the Dragon Gate would decrease by a few points.

As long as she persisted long enough, she would eventually be able to lower the Dragon Gate to a low enough height.

However, she didn't tell anyone about this secret.

The opportunity for Dragon Transformation definitely wouldn't come too many times. If she revealed the secret and her fellow travelers knew, they might seize her chance for Dragon Transformation, leading to her failure to undergo Dragon Transformation smoothly.

On the other hand, if her teammates chose to leave one after another, she could secretly make an effort and steadily seize the opportunity for Dragon Transformation on her own.

At worst, she could tell Zhang Chi the strategy and let him come back next time.

So, Hong Li jumped twice and then couldn't jump anymore, looking somewhat withdrawn.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi began to jump around aimlessly in place.

He believed that the Dragon Race wouldn't arrange an assessment that was absolutely impossible to pass for the future successors of the Dragon Race.

If that was the case, then the Dragon Gate must have a deeper meaning.

So, he jumped in place, and as expected, the archway descended.

Zhang Chi began to jump in place.

Now, he was a fish, unable to speak, unable to accurately convey his message.

But he thought that if he gradually lowered the Dragon Gate by jumping, others would naturally notice the anomaly.

Zhang Chi was leading his teammates to take off in his own way, but in the eyes of others, they couldn't see the changes in the Dragon Gate.

In their eyes, Zhang Chi seemed to be doing useless work.

Because the more Zhang Chi jumped, the higher the Dragon Gate seemed to get.

Tang Ruoling and Long Yan had this perspective. They couldn't understand Zhang Chi, but they could see that Zhang Chi was wasting his efforts, and naturally, they had their own understanding.

Each time Zhang Chi jumped, it made them further from the Dragon Gate.

Unfortunately, they couldn't speak.

The only one who truly saw everything was the Snow Mountain God.

It was all an illusion. By questioning their inner selves and firming their Dao hearts, they naturally passed the assessment.

There was never a real Dragon Gate. The Dragon Gate they saw was a manifestation of their inner Dragon Gate.

However, at this point, the Snow Mountain God didn't plan to intervene anymore.

It was a pity for Tang Ruoling and Long Yan. Their comprehension was still a bit lacking, and they didn't have the strong unwillingness that Hong Li had.

So, they were getting further and further from the Dragon Gate.

They also tried to jump like Zhang Chi, but their jumping height wasn't any different from Zhang Chi's.

The Snow Mountain God knew what Zhang Chi was doing, but could only sigh at the whims of fate.

If Zhang Chi didn't jump, Long Yan and Tang Ruoling could have persisted longer. It was only to let them gather information that Zhang Chi deliberately jumped around.

But unexpectedly, because he jumped too much, his own Dragon Gate was descending, while Tang Ruoling and Long Yan's Dragon Gates were getting higher and higher...

One's inner thoughts were often difficult to control in such situations.

The Snow Mountain God regretted that Long Yan and Tang Ruoling actually had great potential, and this challenge shouldn't have been so difficult for them.

Especially Long Yan, her mental cultivation shouldn't have been so fragile.

"Could it be that the Dragon Gate doesn't want Long Yan to undergo Dragon Transformation?"

The Snow Mountain God speculated, but didn't delve further.

She had nothing to do with Long Yan.

Finally, when the height of the Dragon Gate in their eyes reached a limit, the two of them turned into light and disappeared from the Secret Realm.

The next moment, they appeared by the Dragon River, where Jin Ling'er and three others were guarding the Dragon Gate. When they saw the two of them come out, they quickly asked, "How did it go? What happened to you? Where's Zhang Chi?"

Jin Ling'er asked a bunch of questions, but the most important was the last three words.

Long Yan and Tang Ruoling guessed that the golden carp was Zhang Chi, then carefully looked around and realized that they weren't in the real Dragon River before.

Perhaps it was a Secret Realm.

Long Yan replied, "He's still inside, I don't know if he can leap over the Dragon Gate."

"Is it very difficult?" Jin Ling'er expressed doubt.

Listening to Long Yan's tone, they didn't seem to have cleared the challenge and come out, but rather seemed to have failed and been sent out.

Long Yan was quite powerful, and if she failed, how many chances would the others have? (End of this chapter)
