Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Three soft, white Lights of Teleportation swirled around Jiang Jichen, lingering as if waiting for him to make a choice.

’What’s going on?’

’Isn’t the Light of Teleportation supposed to stay fixed in one spot after it lands? When did it start moving?’

’And it’s as if they all have a mind of their own, flying to Jiang Jichen’s side on their own accord.’

Ling Dong and the others seemed to realize something. Someone exclaimed in shock, "A purple pattern mark lets you choose any array light... Could the legend be true? Or maybe, possessing a purple mark automatically attracts the array lights, letting him choose freely!"

"Ah, damn that Jiang Jichen! How can this be happening?"

"Is he even going to let anyone else have a chance?"

Having come to their senses, Cang Lengshan, Ling Dong, and the others were going mad with frustration.

Their joy had turned to sorrow in an instant. They had clearly seen the Teleportation Array Light land right in front of them, but then... all of it had gone over to Jiang Jichen.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen instantly understood why Qing Xun and Blood Hand had been so eager to follow him. ’So that’s why!’

Blood Hand and Qing Xun were also looking at Jiang Jichen with wide smiles, waiting for him to speak.

A smile spread across Jiang Jichen’s face as he said, "Miss Qing Xun, Brother Blood Hand, you two are quite the schemers. But I suppose with you two escorting me, I have nothing to worry about!"

Though his face was all smiles, Jiang Jichen cursed inwardly, ’Two insidious little schemers, just as bad as Han Qing and Little Haas!’

Qing Xun’s Killing Intent had already vanished, replaced by the image of a sweet young girl. She smiled sweetly and said, "Little brother Jiang Jichen, don’t you worry. With us here, no one will dare to get close. We can take our time choosing from these array lights until we find ones we’re satisfied with!"

Blood Hand added in a deep voice, "We can wait for all the array lights to appear and gather around you. Your group can choose first; we’ll pick after you."

So this had been Qing Xun and Blood Hand’s plan from the start. They had known all along that Jiang Jichen could attract the Light of Teleportation, which was why they had been so keen to team up with him.

Jiang Jichen couldn’t be bothered to feign pleasantries. He said directly, "We can cooperate, but I find it hard to believe you two don’t know any Secret Techniques for choosing among the array lights. Would you mind sharing one or two?"

In Jiang Jichen’s eyes, both Qing Xun and Blood Hand had clearly come prepared. Hailing from Great Families and Sects, how could they not know a few methods or Secret Skills?

Unlike his own group, who were running around like headless chickens, completely clueless.

Qing Xun, for her part, didn’t hide anything. She spoke freely, "Calm your spirit and quiet your energy. Feel with your heart. The one that resonates with you will be the most suitable Mysterious Realm or secret land for you!"

"It’s that simple?"

Jiang Jichen was a little stunned.

"It is that simple, but it’s also not... Not everyone can form a resonance with the Light of Teleportation. For those who can’t, they can only pick one at random and rely on luck!"

Blood Hand added from the side.

Jiang Jichen thought for a moment before asking, "How many Lights of Teleportation will appear here in total?"

"Under normal circumstances, only ten Lights of Teleportation appear. But with you here, things are different. I’m afraid an extremely large number of them will show up. Among all those, only twelve will lead to the Nine Great Mysterious Realms and the Three Secret Realms. There’s one more... that should lead to the Seventh Layer, or somewhere else."

Qing Xun added, her voice laced with uncertainty.

Her voice had barely faded when a low HUM filled the air. The void trembled without end as countless Lights of Teleportation descended, eventually... filling the entire massive Teleportation Altar.

"Damn, so many Lights of Teleportation! Where do they all lead?"

"Careful! Don’t step into any Light of Teleportation until you’re sure where it goes. Because... ninety-nine percent of them lead to a place of turbulent space-time. Once you enter, there’s no coming back!"

"Then... doesn’t that mean if your senses are wrong, it’s a one-way trip to certain death?"

Jiang Jichen’s expression grew solemn.

"It’s not an absolute certainty. There’s still a sliver of a chance. However, the reason we’re following you isn’t so we can choose from any of these Teleportation Array Lights. It’s because... any Light of Teleportation that resonates with you is, at the very least, not a deathtrap."

Finally, Qing Xun revealed her true purpose.

It was completely different from what Jiang Jichen had assumed.

And at that moment, even without Qing Xun’s explanation, Jiang Jichen began to sense it himself.

The mark of the Seven-Colored Spirit Pattern Tower trembled, allowing Jiang Jichen to instantly sense where the surrounding Lights of Teleportation led.

However, all he could sense was the terrifying force of turbulent space-time. The Lights of Teleportation swirling around him all led to deathtraps.

All the while, more Lights of Teleportation continued to descend from the void.

Ling Dong, Cang Lengshan, and their men had initially been heartbroken and furious that the Lights of Teleportation had vanished. But now, seeing so many of them and having overheard the conversation between Qing Xun and Jiang Jichen, they understood all too well that most of these lights led to deathtraps.

The faces of their entire group turned deathly pale. They didn’t dare make the slightest move, terrified of accidentally touching one of the dreadful Lights of Teleportation.

Watching the Lights of Teleportation descend from the void, Jiang Jichen suddenly closed his eyes and said, "Follow me."

With that, he began to walk forward.

Weaving through the columns of light, Jiang Jichen suddenly stopped in front of one and said, "Try sensing this Light of Teleportation!"

He was pointing to the column of light directly in front of him.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Hua Xiaoling, Yee Youmeng, Qing Xun, and Blood Hand all knew this particular Light of Teleportation wasn’t a deathtrap. It was possibly a path to one of the Nine Great Mysterious Realms or Three Secret Realms!

In the end, however, none of the four felt any resonance with this Light of Teleportation.

But Jiang Jichen didn’t seem to mind. He continued onward, stopping and starting as he weaved through the multitude of Lights of Teleportation, slowly sensing and searching.

An hour later, as the group was sensing another Light of Teleportation, Yee Youmeng’s body suddenly began to glow with a faint, ethereal starlight. The Teleportation Array in question also began to tremble, emitting wisps of mysterious power that coiled around her.

"The Star Nether Secret Realm! One of the Three Secret Realms!"

Qing Xun exclaimed upon seeing the phenomenon, her voice filled with shock.

"What’s special about this Secret Realm?"

Jiang Jichen asked.

"The night holds stars, and the stars hold light. It allows one to explore the mysteries of the body and unlock their Divine Treasure. It’s truly extraordinary. Throughout history, I’ve never heard of anyone successfully entering this Secret Realm. It’s shrouded in mystery!"

Qing Xun said, looking at Yee Youmeng with immense envy.

Hearing Qing Xun’s explanation, Jiang Jichen was also happy for Yee Youmeng. "Little Youmeng, go on. Train hard!"

Yee Youmeng nodded to the others, then stepped into the Light of Teleportation that had resonated with her, disappearing from where she stood.

After Yee Youmeng’s success, the group felt encouraged and continued their search.

Soon, Blood Hand also formed a resonance with a Light of Teleportation!
