It didn't take too long to make a decision. Shun Long stared at the golden staircase for only a few moments before he raised his foot and touched the second step.
The last time he had done this, the pressure had turned so overwhelming that he'd been sent flying to the patch of red soil behind him before getting kicked out of this realm. But this time, it was only mildly uncomfortable.
It was a weird sensation that he'd never felt before, but Shun Long only paused for a split second before heading directly for the third step.
As the pressure around him thickened, Shun Long quickly realized that it wasn't spiritual qi that was present in the air around him either, but something similar... and yet at the same time, completely different, boring down on him from every direction and drowning him under its pressure.
It wasn't mere gravity either, but Shun Long felt like he was carrying a heavy boulder using every part of his body.
