Hearing Wu Tian's question, the burly man's expression froze slightly, clearly a bit embarrassed.
Seeing this, Wu Tian understood.
The fellow hadn't dared to enter earlier, but seeing Wu Tian about to go in, he became anxious, fearing Wu Tian would snatch something first.
However, Wu Tian didn't mind. For him, it made no difference who went first. He continued to smile and said, "Alright, if you want to go first, then you go ahead. I wasn't planning on rushing you."
"However, I still need to remind you, if you're not confident enough in yourself, you'd best think about it again."
"After all, you arrived before me, and you're aware of the consequences of failure."
The burly man immediately took offense at these words, his competitive spirit ignited.
He snorted and said, "What do you know? Don't lump me in with those people!"
"Those fellows are just spirit cultivators. But I'm different. I am a dignified low-grade immortal. How could something like this possibly trap me? If you don't believe me, then open your eyes wide and see!"
With that, the burly man let out a low roar, and his entire body erupted with immortal energy.
His already robust physique seemed to double in size, his muscles radiating a metallic sheen.
Undoubtedly, this was a low-grade immortal technique specifically designed to enhance physique. With the boost from such a technique, this burly man might actually have a chance to break through.
For a moment, all eyes were fixed on the burly man.
Everyone wanted to know if the burly man would ultimately succeed.
After mentally preparing himself, the burly man leaped forward, and with an incredibly powerful aura, he charged directly towards the waterfall.
In the blink of an eye, the burly man disappeared into the waterfall.
Seeing this, everyone except Wu Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! He did it! He did it!"
However, looking at the rapidly flowing waterfall, Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly. "No, he failed."
Everyone was startled by Wu Tian's words.
But before they could ask for details, a scream echoed through the air, followed by a figure being spat out by the waterfall and crashing to the ground.
The crowd looked closely and turned ashen with fright.
For the person who had been thrown out was none other than the burly man who had just entered!
The low-grade immortal technique that had been empowering the burly man had completely dissipated. His body was covered in wounds.
His aura was weak and listless, and he appeared to have lost consciousness.
"How could this happen..." someone on the scene stammered, "He's a low-grade immortal, and even he couldn't break through. What hope do we have? Isn't this just walking into death?"
The young man also said, "Forget it, let's just forget it. This thing isn't suitable for us. It's better if we don't go..."
But the more powerful the waterfall was, the more Wu Tian's interest grew.
Because this indicated that behind the waterfall, there must be something exceptionally good.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a formidable barrier.
Wu Tian said to the crowd, "Everyone, please step back a bit. Let me try."
When the crowd heard Wu Tian actually dare to say such a thing, they were stunned, and then frowned, saying, "No, are you crazy? Didn't you see what happened to that guy?"
"Exactly. He's a low-grade immortal, and he even activated a low-grade immortal technique, and he still couldn't get through. How could you possibly do it? Just forget it."
"Hmph, don't try to persuade him. I think this guy is just showing off. Since he wants to court death, why should we stop him?"
Hearing their words, Wu Tian simply smiled faintly, then casually released his aura.
Instantly, with a hum, a mighty aura spread out, enveloping the entire open space.
Sensing the power of this aura, the expressions of everyone present immediately stiffened, and then they said with disbelief, "M-mid-grade immortal? How is this possible!"
Wu Tian swept them with a faint glance and smiled, "Everyone, do I have the confidence to try now?"
After being met with Wu Tian's gaze, no one dared to speak.
After all, they were merely spirit cultivators. In the face of a mid-grade immortal, they weren't even considered ants, so how could they dare to comment further?
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Wu Tian's lips curved slightly.
He no longer paid them any mind. He stomped his foot, his entire body enveloped in lightning, and transformed into a golden stream of light, charging directly towards the waterfall!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Tian entered the waterfall. Immediately, immense pressure bore down on him.
The pressure continued to intensify with the impact of the waterfall. Wu Tian felt as if a giant was wielding a massive iron hammer, striking his body again and again.
With each strike, the weight increased.
In the face of such power, Wu Tian himself found it somewhat unbearable, let alone those below the mid-grade immortal realm.
Wu Tian tensed his muscles and let out a loud roar. Golden lightning flashed in his eyes, and the lightning around his body formed a protective barrier.
At the same time, the waterfall was actually repelled by him!
Seizing the opportunity, Wu Tian didn't hesitate.
He instantly increased his speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had slipped into the cave.
"He actually went in?!"
"My heavens, who is he?"
Outside the waterfall, those who saw the movement of the waterfall all exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with envy.
Any fool knew that by entering the waterfall, one had the chance to obtain a great fortune.
But they couldn't even get past the entrance, let alone anything else.
Thinking of this, they all shook their heads regretfully, lamenting their insufficient strength.
But the world was like this; everything was based on strength. If your strength was not enough, then even if an opportunity was placed before you, you would not be able to grasp it.
Meanwhile, after entering the cave, Wu Tian used his immortal energy to instantly dry the moisture from his body and then looked around.
The cave led to a passage, within which tiny dust motes of light floated, serving as a light source.
Wu Tian was unsure what awaited him ahead, so he walked cautiously.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed that the space ahead had widened considerably, so he quickened his pace.
However, just as he reached the exit, his steps immediately halted.
There was something going on!
