Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Over thirty Skeleton Soldiers were lined up in a row, each with a huge Gem Necklace hanging around its neck, glittering magnificently!

And the one around Little Gray's neck was naturally the largest and most dazzling of them all.

"Brother, I love the gift you gave me so much!"

With a single sway, Little Gray appeared by Jiang Jichen's side with a WHOOSH.

He was overcome with excitement, joy, and thrill.

Jiang Jichen, however, was still in a daze, staring blankly at the thirty-odd Skeleton Soldiers adorned with Gem Necklaces.

An image involuntarily formed in his mind.

A group of gangsters, all bare-chested and wearing gold chains, swaggering down the street to collect protection money!

Of course, the gangsters had just been replaced by Skeleton Soldiers.

The Storage Bag Jiang Jichen had previously given Little Gray was filled with Gem Necklaces he had casually collected over the years.

He knew how much Little Gray loved them.

That was why the Storage Bag contained at least a thousand large Gem Necklaces.

But he never expected that in such a short time, it would turn into this.

Jiang Jichen could see the thirty-odd Skeleton Soldiers, their tiny Bone Fingers stroking the Gem Necklaces around their necks, unable to tear themselves away.

Their crimson Soul Fires danced merrily, a clear sign of their immense excitement and joy.

Little Gray continued excitedly, "Brother, with so many Gem Necklaces, from now on, any skeleton who follows me will get a necklace to wear! Hehe..."

As he spoke, the little skeleton broke into a silly, adorable laugh.

Meanwhile, an image surfaced in Jiang Jichen's mind: tens of thousands of little skeletons on a battlefield, each adorned with a massive Gem Necklace, swaggering as they charged into the fray...

Jiang Jichen figured he would have to collect even more Gem Necklaces in the future to satisfy Little Gray's ambitions.

'Little Gray has such a grand ambition,' he thought. 'As his brother, I have to support him with everything I've got!'

"Little Gray, how did you get to the Six Paths Illusion Realm?"

Jiang Jichen composed himself before asking the question.

Little Gray began to recount his experiences over the past few years.

That time, he was transported by a mysterious Dragon Clan altar to the Undead Realm.

However, the Undead Bone Clan were considered outcasts in the Undead Realm and were to be hunted down and eliminated.

And so, Little Gray spent his days constantly being hunted.

Fortunately, he relied on his innate combat instincts to escape the pursuits time and time again.

And while being hunted, he continuously devoured the Soul Fire of his enemies.

He slowly grew stronger.

Finally, he stepped into the Cyan Soul Realm.

The Undead Race, as far as is known, has five major Realms.

They correspond to the five colors of Soul Fire: gray, crimson, cyan, blue, and violet!

After enduring countless hardships, Little Gray used the power of his Cyan Soul Realm to finally step onto the Undead Realm's Extreme Celestial Tier and enter the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Little Gray appeared on a mountaintop in this area.

Previously, this place had been occupied by a powerful Bone Beast with a deep cyan Soul Fire.

In the end, Little Gray naturally managed to kill it through trickery and devoured its Soul Fire.

Over the next six months, the little skeleton subdued this group of Skeleton Soldiers.

Whenever he was bored, he would train this group of Skeleton Soldiers.

And that's how they ended up in their current state.

The little skeleton had a very difficult time over the years; his Soul Fire had nearly been extinguished on several occasions.

But he had ultimately pulled through, still living on—strong, happy, and as adorably naive as ever.

As for those Undead Cultivators, they had naturally discovered that this mountaintop was occupied by an outcast from the Undead Realm, so they came to level it.

They also intended to slaughter this entire group of little skeletons.

Jiang Jichen was moved after listening to Little Gray's tale.

But more than that, he felt a sense of joy.

'Little Gray had been through so much, but the most important thing is that he's alive, and we were able to meet again here.'

At that moment, Jiang Jichen called Zhou Qiang over. "Tell me about the Death Organization!"

Just a moment ago, before dying, that member of the Undead Race had threatened Jiang Jichen with the Death Organization.

So, while Jiang Jichen was not intimidated, he felt it was necessary to learn about this organization.

Zhou Qiang, surprisingly, had adapted to the role of a servant quite well, without the slightest bit of awkwardness.

He spoke respectfully, "Master, the Death Organization is one of the six great powers in Chaotic City."

"The Six Paths Illusion Realm is divided into Six Domains, one Chaotic City, and one New World!"

"The Six Paths Realms each occupy one domain: the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Dark Domain, the Netherworld Domain, the Heavenly Dao Domain, and the Beastman Domain."

"Then there is Chaotic City, situated in the center of the Six Domains."

"However, Chaotic City is not the true center. The center is the New World, an area that has not yet been opened. Only those who possess a Heavenly Dao Map to a blank territory within the Six Paths Illusion Realm can lay claim to it!"

Zhou Qiang's explanation was concise and clear, giving Jiang Jichen a basic understanding of the geography of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

And as for the Heavenly Dao Map he mentioned, Shui Yunyao and her group possessed one.

'They must have already claimed a piece of territory in the New World by now,' he thought.

Zhou Qiang did not stop there, continuing, "Chaotic City is where the Six Domains intersect. Therefore, it sees the most frequent and intense conflict. However, it is also the most prosperous area, because people from all Six Domains gather in Chaotic City to trade. As a result, each domain has fostered its own powers within the city!"

"The Death Organization is the faction in Chaotic City backed by the Netherworld Domain. It is one of the six great powers of Chaotic City, and those five Undead Cultivators from earlier were its members."

"They came from Undead Town, which is a Death Organization stronghold in the Land of Stray Bandits."

Jiang Jichen was deeply shaken by this revelation.

'He hadn't imagined the Six Paths Illusion Realm would be so vast, and its factions even more powerful than he could conceive.'

After all, over countless ages, Cultivators had entered from various realms, and some had even been here for over a thousand years.
