Myriad Daos of the Heaven

At this moment, Human Emperor City had gathered the peerless geniuses of the Five Domains of the Human World.

They had all come to tread the Extreme Celestial Tier and enter the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

To achieve mastery in the Great Dao, one had to enter the Six Paths Illusion Realm!

This had practically become an established fact that no one doubted.

Therefore, no one would give up the chance to tread the Extreme Celestial Tier and enter the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

In recent days, Human Emperor City had been very calm. Even when mortal enemies met, they exercised great restraint and did not immediately come to blows.

Everyone was resting quietly, wanting to maintain their Peak Realm state to tread the Extreme Celestial Tier.

They all wanted to walk farther on the Extreme Celestial Tier and obtain even greater benefits.

Compared to grudges and conflicts, the pursuit of mastery in the Great Dao was clearly more important.

Besides, once they entered the Six Paths Illusion Realm, would there be any shortage of opportunities to fight?

So, they held back, bottling up their energy and waiting for the Extreme Celestial Tier to open.

At this moment, a voice transmitted from the will of Heavenly Dao Mountain.

It instantly set the entire city ablaze; all the Spirit Infant Realm and Nascent Soul Realm experts erupted in excitement.

They set off one after another, rushing at top speed toward Heavenly Dao Mountain at the edge of Human Emperor City.

Previously, when Heavenly Dao Mountain was not open, no one was allowed to approach it.

Now that the Extreme Celestial Tier had appeared, Heavenly Dao Mountain was open, and they could naturally step foot inside.

Figure after figure with incredibly powerful auras shot into the sky, soaring through the air and disappearing into the faint mist in the distance.

Heavenly Dao Mountain pierced the heavens. It was immense and boundless; from afar, one could only see a hazy silhouette.

Inside the Ye Mansion, Ye Rou and Hua Xiaoling also rushed out. Looking up at the sky, they could see figures ascending high into the air and flying off into the distance.

"When are we leaving?"

Ye Rou asked.

"How long will the Extreme Celestial Tier be open?"

Jiang Jichen suddenly asked.

"Two days!"

Ye Rou answered.

"Then we’ll leave tomorrow. Of course, if Miss Ye Rou is in a hurry to set out, there’s no need to wait for us!"

Jiang Jichen looked at Ye Rou with a half-smile.

He could see that Ye Rou was still a bit impatient and wanted to leave immediately.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Ye Rou’s heart suddenly jolted.

She understood that Jiang Jichen was reminding her that she was being too hasty.

To ascend the Extreme Celestial Tier, one not only had to adjust their cultivation to its Peak Realm.

More importantly, it was about one’s state of mind!

Ascending the Celestial Tier, it would be difficult to go far without the best Dao Heart.

Right now, in Human Emperor City, even the strongest geniuses had likely not set out yet.

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Ye Rou said to Jiang Jichen very seriously.

"The closer one is to the true Dao, the more one needs a calm heart to face it!"

"Let’s all go back, rest and build our strength, and fight tomorrow!"

"Haha..."

Jiang Jichen declared with immense heroic spirit. In the morning sun, his retreating figure suddenly seemed to become incredibly tall and imposing.

"Xiaoling, your man is actually quite charming when he’s being serious!"

Ye Rou teased Hua Xiaoling.

"Sister Ye Rou, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him too? Haha... It must be! All that spear practice every day, sparks must have flown with Jichen. Hmm, Sister Ye Rou, go for it! This young lady here won’t get jealous!"

Hua Xiaoling said with a teasing laugh.

"In your dreams. I could fall for Xiaoling and Youmeng before I’d ever like that guy Jichen."

Ye Rou said with a grin.

"Ah, Sister Ye Rou, so you’re a lily! If all your admirers and pursuers knew, they’d be heartbroken. They’d go crazy."

Hua Xiaoling said.

Just then, Yee Youmeng opened her eyes. She glanced coolly at Ye Rou and said, "What a shame!"

"Youmeng, you’re not a man. What’s there to be ashamed of?"

Ye Rou asked, confused.

"I feel sorry for Jiang Jichen!"

Yee Youmeng’s words were astonishing.

Hua Xiaoling and Ye Rou were stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing at the same time.

Their bell-like laughter sounded so cheerful and full of life in the morning light.

Although Jiang Jichen had already left, he had pricked up his ears to listen in.

After hearing the three women’s conversation, Jiang Jichen had a strange expression on his face.

’Damn, so this is the kind of dirty stuff girls talk about!’

’But Little Youmeng’s last sentence was actually pretty cute. I like it, WAGAGA!’

Jiang Jichen smiled and walked back to his room.

The moment he stepped inside, a streak of dark saber light cut through the air.

With a casual grasp, Jiang Jichen had an ink-black long saber in his hand.

Sinking Mountain!

Holding Sinking Mountain again, Jiang Jichen felt something different.

It was as if they were connected by flesh and blood, about to merge and become one with him.

Like it was already a part of his own body.

Moreover, he could feel that Sinking Mountain had become stronger.

"Sinking Mountain Spirit Fusion allows it to merge with your body. You can store and retrieve it with a single thought. Give it a try!"

Grandma Turtle crawled directly out of the void and spoke.

Hearing this, Jiang Jichen closed his eyes and communicated with Sinking Mountain using his Divine Thought.

Because he had been using Sinking Mountain all this time, Jiang Jichen had long since developed a resonance with it.

Now, he easily resonated as one with Sinking Mountain’s Sword Intent.

"Retract!"

With a thought from Jiang Jichen, Sinking Mountain transformed into a streak of black light and entered his body.

In the end, Jiang Jichen saw it being drawn into his Qi Sea, where it floated amidst the Spiritual Mist, resting against the edge of his Dao Platform.

"Appear!"

Then, with another thought, Sinking Mountain abruptly appeared in his hand.

’A Spirit Fusion Artifact... how truly wondrous.’

Jiang Jichen was amazed, and the more he looked at Sinking Mountain, the more delighted he became.

"Now try executing the Spirit Cultivation Saber Technique!"

Grandma Turtle continued to remind him from the side.

So, within the Restricted Area that Grandma Turtle had set up, Jiang Jichen performed a move from the Great Wind Saber Technique.

"WHOOSH!"

As the saber technique was unleashed, the space filled with Wind Blades sharp as sabers, surging ceaselessly like a tidal wave. Its power was more than ten times stronger than when performed with an ordinary saber!

"HAHA... A Sinking Mountain that integrates Body Refining and Spirit Cultivation is a perfect fit for me! Thank you so much, Grandma Turtle!"

Jiang Jichen was overjoyed and thanked Grandma Turtle.

Grandma Turtle chuckled. "You’re my grandson, what’s there to thank me for? Alright now, the world is about to change. You must raise your cultivation as quickly as possible. Otherwise, when the great change comes, you won’t have enough strength to protect yourself!"

"I, Grandma Turtle, also need to continue my slumber. The Six Paths Illusion Realm only permits the existence of those in the Spirit Infant Realm and Nascent Soul Realm, so you’ll be on your own in there!"

Jiang Jichen nodded. "Don’t worry, Grandma Turtle. With the Spirit Fusion Sinking Mountain you helped me create, I can sweep away all enemies. Rest easy and go to sleep. When you wake up again, perhaps the first thing you’ll see is Master Turtle, haha... Don’t be shy then, Grandma Turtle!"

"You little brat! Daring to tease your Grandma Turtle, you’re really itching for a beating!"

Grandma Turtle cursed with a laugh, but Jiang Jichen could see the look of anticipation in her eyes.

She longed to be reunited with Master Turtle!

In the end, Grandma Turtle returned to the Storage Bag to continue her slumber.

And Jiang Jichen, holding Sinking Mountain, closed his eyes. He quieted his mind and guarded his spirit, letting time flow by.

「One day later.」

The first ray of morning sunlight fell upon the window lattice, and Jiang Jichen opened his eyes.

It was time to set out. To tread the Extreme Celestial Tier and enter the Six Paths Illusion Realm!
