703: Chapter 703 This... isn't necessary!

"Perhaps we only think we have walked across many steps, but in reality, we are still in the same place and haven't moved at all!" Su Yun paused and speculated boldly.

"Of course, it is also possible that these black steps are constantly increasing without us noticing!"

"Constantly increasing? Then wouldn't this Tongtian Road be impossible to reach the end of?"

Meng Shuyan's willow brows slightly furrowed, her expression solemn, and she spoke with a serious tone:

"If it is truly as you said, Yun'er, then that is troublesome!"

"It is a bit troublesome!" Su Yun nodded in agreement.

After all, although he had found the source of the problem, he didn't have much of a clue on how to resolve it.

"It seems that passing this trial will not be that easy!"

"As for me..."

A trace of desolation flashed through Meng Shuyan's eyes, and she sighed slightly.

She suddenly realized that after entering the Ancient Road to Immortality, she hadn't been able to help Yun'er much.

Except for the time in the forest earlier, where she led the way and safely crossed the areas where mist appeared.

But that was only because she had better luck!

For the rest of the time... she hadn't been of much use!

Seeing this, Su Yun smiled, took a few steps forward, came to Meng Shuyan's side, looked into her shimmering eyes, and said softly:

"Revered Master, don't worry. Since this is a trial, there must be a corresponding solution! And since we have already realized that something is wrong here, that can be considered a significant breakthrough!"

"So, let's continue searching around here to see if there are any other clues!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and the trace of disappointment in her heart quietly dissipated without her realizing it.

She looked around, her red lips parted slightly, "We already tried walking forward just now and found nothing. Perhaps we can walk back!"

"Walk back? Revered Master, what you said makes sense. That's a good idea!" Su Yun agreed, "Let's try it now!"

After speaking, he was just about to turn around when he suddenly thought of something.

"Right, Revered Master, we had better make a mark on the step we are currently on!"

"Good idea!" Meng Shuyan nodded slightly.

Immediately, Su Yun reached out and pointed lightly in front of him.

He released a strand of Blazing Sun Sword Qi.

It then transformed into a crimson sword-shaped Law mark, floating above the black step he was standing on.

Meng Shuyan likewise waved her hand, releasing a colorful beam of sword light, which also transformed into a sword-shaped mark, floating on the other side of the black step.

However, at this moment, under the influence of the surrounding invisible pressure, the Power of Law contained within the sword-shaped marks released by the two of them was slowly being eroded, causing the two marks to gradually begin to dissipate.

Seeing this, Su Yun's expression became solemn, "It seems we need to hurry. The Law marks probably won't last long!"

Immediately, they turned around and began to walk back.

During this walk, the two of them were observing the scene below Tongtian Road while also sensing the aura of the Law marks to judge changes in their position.

Tap, tap, tap.

The two were walking towards the steps below.

But after less than five breaths, the two suddenly stopped, halted, and looked at each other.

Su Yun: "The Law mark I released just now has disappeared!"

Meng Shuyan: "The one I released is the same!"

"This is a bit strange! Logically speaking, the Law marks we released, even under the influence of the pressure spread across the steps, should have lasted for hundreds of breaths even as they dissipated!"

"But how did they dissipate in just a few breaths?" Su Yun rubbed his chin, saying thoughtfully.

He had been using his Divine Sense constantly just now to observe the condition of the Law mark behind him.

But at a certain moment, that Law mark simply vanished, and its aura could no longer be sensed.

"Also, we have walked downward for a distance now. But after referencing the ground beneath Tongtian Road, I discovered that our position still hasn't changed!"

Su Yun shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.

"It seems that walking back directly won't work either! And we haven't discovered any patterns!"

Meng Shuyan: "Then what do we do now?"

Su Yun lowered his eyes to look at the ruins below Tongtian Road, "Let's... try jumping down directly!"

Walking forward doesn't work! Walking back doesn't work! Then he would just jump down. See what the result is! Perhaps there will be an unexpected discovery! After all, the various trials within the Ancient Road to Immortality certainly cannot be considered with conventional thinking.

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes blinked, her red lips moved slightly, "Mm, alright! We can try it!"

As she said this, she moved her lotus steps lightly, arriving at the edge of Tongtian Road.

Just as she was about to jump down, at this moment, a warm, large hand gripped her arm, pulling her back and stopping her from jumping down.

This immediately made Meng Shuyan's body pause, her delicate frame trembling slightly.

Her perky jade peaks also became surging and quivering in that instant.

"Yun'er, what is this???"

Meng Shuyan turned her head to look at Su Yun behind her, somewhat puzzled.

"Revered Master, you are not a Body Cultivator. Jumping down from this height might cause you to get hurt! Furthermore, the sky around this Tongtian Road is filled with the power of the Heavenly Dao everywhere, and you cannot use the Power of Law for defense. So, let your disciple hold you and jump together!" Su Yun blinked, his expression extremely serious, speaking with a firm tone.

Meng Shuyan smiled sweetly, feeling a warmth in her heart, "That... won't be necessary, right! With Revered Master's cultivation, even if I fall directly, I won't..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the warm, large hand that was holding her arm suddenly let go, and then immediately wrapped around her waist.

"Alright, Revered Master, no need to say so much! It's decided!"

Su Yun's expression was gentle, his tone carrying a hint of indisputability.

He hugged Meng Shuyan's full, slender waist with a bit of force.

Su Yun certainly knew that even if the height increased dozens or hundreds of times, with Revered Master's cultivation, she wouldn't get hurt even if she jumped down directly.

But Revered Master was his Dao Companion. Based on this reason, it was impossible for him to let her jump down alone.

Thinking of this, Su Yun continued to tease: "Besides, didn't I also hold you while falling from the sky outside the Ancient Road to Immortality earlier? So, Revered Master, don't be shy~"

"Hmph~ Yun'er, don't talk nonsense! When was I... shy!" Meng Shuyan's eyes shifted, and she quickly denied it.

Immediately after, she suddenly felt her delicate body lift into the air.

Her whole person was lifted up directly.

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes widened instantly, somewhat unable to react.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yun'er... you don't have to hold me like this!"
