Cutting the Heavenly Waterfall
"Hmm? How did I end up here?" Emperor Sulon scratched his head, looking confused.
Unknowingly, he had ended up in this place while walking.
"Splish, splash!" Soon, Emperor Sulon heard the sound of flowing water and curiously headed towards it.
"This..." Shortly after, Emperor Sulon witnessed an astonishing and magnificent scene before his eyes!
A massive waterfall, three thousand meters high and ten thousand meters wide!
The immense torrent, resembling a galaxy, thunderously descended from the sky and reached up to the height that could only be seen by looking up, creating a tremendous display of power and impact!
"What a huge waterfall!" Emperor Sulon had never seen such a massive waterfall before, and he was a bit dumbfounded.
"Hehe, another bumpkin from elsewhere!"
"Tsk tsk, his physical body looks so weak!"
"With this physique, he still wants to temper his body here? I'm afraid he won't even be able to withstand the first level of the Heavenly Waterfall!"
...
At this moment, several human cultivators who were passing by cast disdainful glances at Emperor Sulon.
"The Heavenly Waterfall's Nine Cascades?" Emperor Sulon was taken aback.
"Hehe, this waterfall is one of the famous natural wonders in our Imperial River Domain, the Heavenly Waterfall!"
"Looking down from the Heavenly Waterfall, there are nine platforms. The platform at the top experiences the weakest impact from the water flow, while the one at the bottom experiences the strongest!"
"These nine platforms are called the Nine Cascades of the Heavenly Waterfall! The top one is the first cascade, and the bottom one is the ninth!"
"Our human race practices body cultivation to achieve saintliness through the physical body! Apart from requiring a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish the body, of course, we also need such perilous environments to continuously temper our bodies!"
"Most human cultivators can go to the first cascade of the Heavenly Waterfall! However, the most dangerous ninth cascade cannot be endured without a physique at the level of a Saint's body!"
"I can see that your physical body is weak. Don't go to the ninth cascade seeking death!"
...
After this human cultivator finished explaining, he and his companions walked towards the Heavenly Waterfall, soon arriving at the location of the second cascade.
When an appropriate opportunity came, these cultivators took off their upper garments, stood on the platforms, and endured the impact of the water flow to constantly refine their bodies!
"So that's how it is..." Emperor Sulon nodded, indicating that he understood.
Emperor Sulon didn't come to the Heavenly Waterfall's Nine Cascades to temper his body. Instead, he continued to gaze at the massive waterfall.
Slowly, Emperor Sulon remembered a scene from before.
After entering that peculiar state of enlightenment, he had actually displayed the No-Sword Style. His understanding of sword intent had transformed into sword radiance, becoming even more terrifying in power. It was like clouds and flowing water, elusive and formless, capable of infinite division and free transformation!
In the end, he had annihilated the plague disaster, which didn't even have a physical existence!
However...
After exiting that state of enlightenment, no matter how he tried to display it now, he couldn't recreate that flowing and ethereal sword radiance.
But...
"What if I could... cut through this massive Heavenly Waterfall!"
"Perhaps, I can comprehend that flowing and ethereal No-Sword Style once again!"
...
Emperor Sulon's eyes sparkled, and excitement surged within him.
As a result, Emperor Sulon quickly rushed to a corner of the Heavenly Waterfall's Nine Cascades.
"Ah, I can't hold on!"
"The impact of this Heavenly Waterfall is too strong!"
"Splutter, I can't do it, I need to retreat!"
...
Emperor Sulon reached the top of the Heavenly Waterfall at the first cascade's position. It was about three hundred meters away from the top of the waterfall. The descending water was from the Heavenly River, whose source was said to be boundless and distant, spanning numerous realms. Rumor had it that its origin came from the Immortal Realm!
However, among the countless realms, the area Emperor Sulon was in had the largest span of the Heavenly River, which was why it was called the Imperial River Domain!
Therefore, the water from the Heavenly River was extremely heavy!
Emperor Sulon repeatedly observed human cultivators with powerful physical bodies enduring the impact of the three-hundred-meter-tall waterfall. Some of them couldn't withstand it for long, vomiting blood and sustaining heavy injuries before retreating.
However...
Without even a glance at the first cascade's platform, Emperor Sulon leaped into the air and jumped directly to the second cascade.
Even before he had fully stabilized himself on the second cascade, he continued to jump down!
"?" This scene naturally attracted the attention of many human cultivators.
"Who is this person?"
"Hmph, not knowing their place, no matter who comes here, they need to progress step by step and gradually adapt before venturing deeper!"
"Could he be a natural Saint's body? But even if he is, he shouldn't be this arrogant!"
...
Many human cultivators looked at Emperor Sulon with disdain and sighs, believing that soon, there would be one more unfortunate soul beneath the Heavenly Waterfall.
"Boom!!!" Soon, Emperor Sulon leaped into the air and landed at the position of the ninth cascade.
The platform of the ninth cascade was the largest, but the number of people on it was the smallest!
At a glance, there were only about six or seven people.
Moreover, every one of these people had extremely vigorous vital energy and blood, and their bodies contained formidable and fearsome power! Even when the immense Heavenly River water, descending from a height of three thousand meters, struck their bodies, it resulted in a tremendous thunderous roar.
"Hmm?" These six or seven individuals had all noticed Emperor Sulon.
"Probably at the level of a Saint's body around the fifth stage... Hehe, with this level of strength, coming here is simply courting death." At a glance, these six or seven figures discerned Emperor Sulon's physical state.
"Youngster, this isn't a place you can come to! For the sake of your life, you'd better leave quickly!" One of the middle-aged men emitted an aura comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm and spoke to Emperor Sulon.
The platform of the ninth cascade of the Heavenly Waterfall couldn't be endured without a Saint's body at the sixth stage. It simply couldn't withstand the impact of the three-thousand-meter-high waterfall!
Light injuries were the least one could expect, and death was a real possibility!
So, the middle-aged man reminded him.
"I didn't come here to temper my body!" Emperor Sulon slowly spoke up.
"Ah? So you're just here to see?" These six or seven middle-aged men suddenly realized, understanding his intentions.
However, Emperor Sulon's next words left these six or seven men dumbfounded.
"I came here to... cut through this Heavenly Waterfall!" Emperor Sulon slowly declared.
"Cut through the Heavenly Waterfall? What are you going to use?" The middle-aged men were completely baffled.
"With my own hands!" Emperor Sulon slowly raised his
hands, a hint of determination in his eyes!
In a state of enlightenment before, Emperor Sulon had experienced the power of the No-Sword Style, like flowing clouds and water!
If he wanted to become stronger, he had to exhibit that power once again!
Back then, he had even annihilated the non-existent plague disaster!
So now, at the very least, he had to be able to cut through this Heavenly Waterfall!
If he couldn't do that, how could he continue to grow stronger?
"Foolish! Cutting the Heavenly Waterfall barehanded? I've never seen such a crazy idea in my entire life! This massive Heavenly Waterfall is composed of water from the Immortal Realm! Each drop of water is equivalent to the weight of ten thousand times that of ordinary water!"
"Your physical body can't even withstand the impact of this Heavenly Waterfall, and you want to cut it? You're simply dreaming!"
...
The middle-aged man didn't mince his words and struck without mercy.
While the middle-aged man thought Emperor Sulon had great courage, if he really attempted this challenge, he would be seeking death! That's why he angrily scolded, hoping Emperor Sulon would realize the difficulty and give up!
"The more impossible it is, the more I must attempt it!"
"The path I'm walking is the path of a demon!"
"If I can't cross mountains called impossible time and time again, how can I become stronger?"
...
Emperor Sulon didn't hesitate. He stepped into the water of the Heavenly Waterfall.
