Chapter 286 No Way Back?
Gao Ge, lying on the ground, feels as if his soul is floating high up in the air. Otherwise, how come he feels like treading on the cotton?
Luckily enough, he is still sensible.
However, at the moment, Gao Ge is overwhelmed by a lot of thoughts. Now that he is under such circumstance, he is not thinking whether he is dying but whether the astral projection will happen to him. As is described in the online novels he has read during the school days, the soul enters an unexpected world and possesses a loser, whose name must be the same as his. Otherwise, the readers won’t have a sense of substitution.
Suddenly, he feels that someone throws a punch at his soul.
Then he has a feeling that his soul falls from a great height to the ground heavily.
When he is overwhelmed by the pain, Gao Ge also comes to himself.
He sits up slowly and looks around with confusion. Maybe even he himself doesn’t notice that his eyes each glitter a beam of slightly golden light deep inside. The light is slowly flowing.
He clenches his fists and feels the flowing power of stars inside his body, which seems much stronger than before.
He looks around and also finds the change of the copper board. The ancient characters on the board have been gone out of no reason. He has a vague feeling that disappearance of the characters on the copper board is somewhat related to his blackout. It is a pity that he has no idea what has happened. After thinking for a while, Gao Ge immediately starts to check the change of his star map. As expected, his fourth star map has been lit up.
To his confusion, after the fourth star map is completely lit up, it is the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting that he has met for several times.
What does it mean?
Gao Ge doesn’t understand.
Although he has thought of that he would light up the fourth star map this time, he didn’t expect to make it in this way.
The first star map brings him the Star Rotating Method, the second one represents the Flying Star Sword, the third one gives him a space and now the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting in the fourth star map makes him feel so confused.
However, the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting just looks so awesome somehow. Simply put, admiration arises despite his incomprehension of what it means. Even though Gao Ge hasn’t found out what the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting brings him, his delighted mood is not affected at all.
Regardless of the benefits that the painting can bring him, after the fourth star map is lit up, he has one more martial meridian, which accelerates the operation of his power of stars again and meanwhile enhances his cultivation. He could only deal with masters at the realm of Strength Protection but now, he is able to confront fearlessly the masters at the realm of Strength Exposure. Of course, if Gao Ge meets a strong man at the realm of Master, he still has to take a detour. After all, masters like that are invincible for him.
The realm of Master is only one level superior to that of Strength Exposure, but this small gap is hard to exceed. When a cultivator enters the realm of Master, his strength will turn into the sheerest aura in the world and every of his act will affect the Qi. In this case, it will become more natural for him to absorb the aura from the world and the absorbing speed is even incomparable with that of the cultivators at the realm lower than Master. Hence, to be more accurate, there is a huge transition process, which is turning strength to aura. The process is rather difficult. Having reached the realm of Strength Exposure, if he wants to break through and yet fails to find the right way, he will end up being stuck in the realm of Strength Exposure and idling away.
There are numerous examples in the cultivation world!
The thing inside Gao Ge is not strength but power of stars, so in his eye, he will not have such a problem.

However, he doesn’t know whether he can fight with the strong cultivator at the realm of Master after opening his sixth martial meridian and lighting up his fifth star map.
Everything remains unknown.
The ancient characters on the copper board are gone. Gao Ge doesn’t intend to keep staying there. He wants to leave when he has a surprising finding again.
The statue of Shennong in the hall is placed there with its back facing him and behind the statue there is a door, which is embossed with nine golden dragons in a dogfight.
It looks so exciting.
Gao Ge keeps silent for a while and slowly walks forward.
Under the stone podium behind the statue are the upwards stairs that are of the same material and color as the stone boards on the mountain path.
When the mountain path of the snow mountain came to being, the hall must exist, and they must be built up at the same time.
This is Gao Ge’s guess. It is also possible the hall was built afterwards and the stone boards of the mountain path were made of the local materials.
He steps on the stairs and reaches out his hand to press on the copper door. Gao Ge takes a deep breath and slowly pushes the copper door. He feels rather comfortable about the dull sound.Read more chapter on v ipnovel.com
He doesn’t know how long his coma lasted. Nor does he get to meet Qin Yuming and the others by far. He realizes that they can’t find him either. In this case, Gao Ge walks into the statue without hesitation.
After he walks in, under his feet are the downwards stairs—a narrow passage, with many lamps hung at the both sides. It is nothing when he stands outside, but after Gao Ge goes inside, the lamps on the rock wall are immediately lit up. God knows how many years these lamps have existed. Even Gao Ge has no idea when the Changcao Hall was built. Did the lamp come to being at that age?
As a cultivator, Gao Ge is certainly not an atheist. He hasn’t met God before, but since so many ordinary people can work on cultivation and there are various kinds of demons, devils, ghosts, monsters, immortals and evil spirits in the world, it is no big deal then.
Taking the downwards stairs, Gao Ge doesn’t even know how long he has been walking.
He is estimating but as the time takes too long, he doesn’t have any feeling then. Moreover, the height of every stair is basically different.
Unlike the Cloud Climbing Stairs of the Heaven School, the stairs here are of different heights. It is not because of any magic array but because the used material is not regular. At that time, this kind of architectural skill obviously didn’t exist and it was not easy to construct the stairs. It would not be appropriate to expect too much.
Having passed the long and narrow meandering footpath, Gao Ge finally comes to a spacious place.
He turns around and looks behind. To his surprise, the cave exit behind him becomes rock wall. He thought it was only smoke and mirrors, but as he reaches out his hand to pat it, it feels so hard. It is rock wall for real.
The cave exit is gone.
“No way back?” Gao Ge mutters and doesn’t feel flurried.
