"So...what am I missing?"

Chen Chunan stopped his useless struggle and murmured to himself.

After the trial of the 'Ascension to Immortality', his state of mind and the strength of his soul have been greatly improved, and he has also understood the 'Jade Broken Path'.

It stands to reason that now he should be able to complete the entire journey of 'the road to immortality'.

But he happened to be trapped at the 900th step and couldn't move any further.

No matter how far you go, when you come back to your senses, you have already returned to the 900th step.

The current situation is completely different from when I first stepped into the 'Dianxian Dao'. It's more like encountering a ghost hitting a wall.

Could it be that there is something else he hasn’t noticed?

Chen Chunan thought carefully and analyzed calmly. He accidentally glanced at his feet and was stunned for a moment.

"Could it be...?"

Chen Chunan stared at the darkness under his feet, fascinated, and already had the answer in his heart.

——Born to death.

If you have not experienced death, how can you understand the true meaning of life.

This is the final state of the ‘Jade Broken Path’.

"Maybe the answer lies at my feet."

Chen Chunan murmured to himself.

Before he understood the 'Jade Broken Way', he was afraid of death.

When he was facing the abyss at his feet on the cliff road before, and now when he was facing the unknown darkness at his feet, he had thought about whether he would be shattered into pieces if he fell into it.

This is where fear comes from.

It's not that he's not afraid now, but that he has a clearer understanding of death.

Human beings always feel fear when facing unknown things. This has nothing to do with courage. It is an innate physiological and psychological reaction of human beings.

And once he faces his fear, he is invincible!

Chen Chunan has been mentally prepared. The choice he makes this time has two outcomes, one is life and the other is death.

And death is also another form of expression of life.

Only by facing death can we truly live toward death.

Chen Chunan had a hunch that the correct answer lay in the chaotic darkness beneath his feet.

Without thinking much, in the next breath, Chen Chunan had fallen straight into darkness.

The moment the body was submerged into the darkness, a strange feeling came over the skin.

This sticky feeling is like being stuck in a swamp. No matter how hard you struggle, it's to no avail. You can't breathe through your mouth and nose, and even your heart has stopped beating.

For a moment, Chen Chunan thought he was dead. He seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and there was only darkness surrounding him.

And his body kept falling in the dark mire.

This feeling lasted for a long, long time, so long that people forgot about time.

‘Is this what death feels like?’

Chen Chunan opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

Countless darkness poured into his mouth, blocking his mouth and throat, as if it was about to swallow him whole.

Even so, he still remained calm, but his consciousness was gradually blurring and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

At the last moment when he closed his eyes, there was still only darkness in front of him.

"..."

When Chen Chunan opened his eyes, he found that he was still standing on the cliff road, with a winding road in front of him and an abyss beside him.

But what happened before seemed like it didn’t exist at all.

"What...is going on?"

Even though his heart was calm, he still had fluctuations in the face of such a situation.

True and false, false and true.

Chen Chunan still can't tell whether this is reality or fantasy.

After all, everything he experienced seemed real.

Chen Chunan held on to the cliff and took a breath. He needed to take a breath now.

At this moment, the familiar voice sounded in his mind again.
