Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Three figures appeared, their cultivation incredibly profound. They were all existences at the Nascent Soul Old Monster Level.

They were powerhouses on the same level as the Sand Snake Ancestor and the three elites from the Death Organization.

Furthermore, of the three, one was an Undead, one was a Beastman, and one was from the Heavenly Dao Realm.

They drifted forward without a sound; not even Jiang Jichen had noticed their arrival.

Of course, this was largely because Jiang Jichen's attention was focused on sensing the changes in Spiritual Power within the Desert of Extinct Spirit, so he failed to detect their arrival immediately.

Jiang Jichen had never been one to take threats lightly. In fact, killing intent had already begun to stir within him.

Jiang Jichen's cold gaze locked onto the three. In that instant, they felt as if they were being targeted by a colossal beast from the Primordial Chaos.

They even felt a sense of mortal peril, the kind one only experiences on the brink of death.

'This Spirit Infant youth...'

The three were stunned, their hair standing on end.

They realized they had underestimated him and that their words had crossed a forbidden line.

Just then, the three recalled that their master had ordered them to treat him with courtesy and not show any disrespect.

It turned out their master had long since sensed that this person was no simple character.

With this realization, regret began to sprout in their hearts.

However, seeing that he was only at the Perfect Spirit Infant Realm, a part of them still felt unconvinced.

Jiang Jichen just stared at them, contemplating whether he should annihilate them.

But then he thought about the master they had mentioned, who was also searching for the secrets of the Desert of Extinct Spirit.

An idea struck him. 'If I follow them, I might just find the secret!'

Finally, he looked at the three with a grin and said, "I was going to kill you!"

The moment he said this, the faces of the three men changed drastically.

In an instant, a terrifying Divine Thought locked onto them, pinning them in place. They didn't dare to move an inch.

They knew that the slightest movement would invite a world-shattering, Ultimate Kill blow.

And it was an attack they had absolutely no confidence in escaping.

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, their backs already drenched.

"But I'll let it slide this time. If you dare threaten me like this again, I will kill you, even if your master is standing right here!"

"Now, take me to see your master."

Jiang Jichen finally withdrew his killing intent and spoke lightly.

The three felt as though they had just taken a stroll through the Ghost Gate.

This Spirit Infant Realm youth before them was undoubtedly an Extreme Genius with unfathomable combat power.

This time, they were truly afraid.

They led Jiang Jichen's party forward, at least outwardly respectful, not daring to show the slightest hint of defiance.

After walking for several miles, they saw a sandy valley. A group of people was there, split into three separate parties.

When he saw the group, Jiang Jichen froze for a moment.

He never would have imagined that he would run into acquaintances here.

Han Qing, the alluring Corpse Two, and Ghost Blood Hand Bai Zihua!

'How could they be here?'

However, it was clear that the three of them were not the leaders.

Each of them simply stood behind a powerful young cultivator.

Han Qing stood behind a Beast King; the alluring Corpse Two stood behind a genius Undead female cultivator at the Cyan Soul Perfect Realm; Bai Zihua of the Ghost Blood People, meanwhile, stood behind a young genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Jiang Jichen's gaze swept across the three leaders. He could feel their unfathomable power, far greater than anyone he had encountered since entering the Six Paths Illusion Realm. They were truly immeasurable.

"Master, those three are definitely ranked among the top one hundred on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list!" Zhou Qiang sent via voice transmission from behind Jiang Jichen.

'The Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list?'

It was the first time Jiang Jichen had heard of such a thing, but he could guess what it implied.

Back in the Southern Continent, there had been a young expert ranking list.

So this Six Paths Illusion Realm expert list was clearly a ranking of all the top cultivators within the Illusion Realm.

To be in the top one hundred meant they had to be terrifyingly powerful.

After all, geniuses were numerous across the Six Paths. Making it into the top one hundred was equivalent to being one of the top twenty experts from each of the Six Paths Realms.

Moreover, this list was an accumulation over countless years, not something limited to just one or two generations of cultivators.

Therefore, being in the top one hundred of the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list was an extraordinary achievement.

Anyone who made it into the top one hundred was an unparalleled genius from the Six Paths Realms, the best from the past several hundred years.

Jiang Jichen's expression remained unchanged.

Since he had dared to come, he was naturally not afraid of them.

Meanwhile, the alluring Corpse Two, Bai Zihua of the Ghost Blood People, and Han Qing were also staring in stunned silence.

To think they'd run into Jiang Jichen here—what a stroke of fate!

However, each of the three had very different feelings about this encounter with Jiang Jichen.

Han Qing, naturally, was overjoyed, practically blooming with delight as a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

The alluring Corpse Two was as interested in Jiang Jichen as ever. She wanted to refine him into a Corpse Slave so they could enact a "battle" between human and corpse whenever and wherever she pleased.

Moreover, she found the scent of Jiang Jichen's blood to be even more intoxicating now.

It was far more alluring than the scent of Bai Zihua's blood.

Hooking up with Bai Zihua last time and drinking a few mouthfuls of his blood had allowed her to evolve and grow stronger.

Come to think of it, the alluring Corpse Two actually had Jiang Jichen to thank for her successful hookup with Bai Zihua.

Only Bai Zihua of the Ghost Blood People felt an endless hatred for Jiang Jichen.

Last time, Jiang Jichen had screwed him over three times in a row: first, he was tricked out of a Teleportation Array Talisman; second, his Blood-Saturated Old Cloth was stolen; and third, he was set up on a "date" with Corpse Two.

'Heh... To think that I, Bai Zihua, brilliant my entire life, was screwed over three times in a row by this little brat...'

The mere thought was enough to drive him mad with infinite hatred!

And yet, despite his immense cultivation, he had been reduced to a mere attendant after entering the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

In the Six Paths Illusion Realm, unless you were strong enough to make the top one hundred on the expert list, going it alone was a death sentence.

Without a private grotto, without Cultivation Resources, without a powerful backer, the only way to survive was to become someone else's attendant.

Bai Zihua was no exception.

Jiang Jichen had no time for their complicated feelings. His gaze fell upon the three leaders. "I can sense the fluctuations in Spiritual Power," he said. "But what methods do you possess to help us find this secret place?"

Jiang Jichen wasn't being polite. He was direct, forceful, and got straight to the point with his question.

A strange light flickered in the eyes of the three leaders. They hadn't expected a mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator to face them without his aura faltering in the slightest.

They, after all, were all ranked in the top one hundred of the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list—existences at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, just shy of being true Extreme Geniuses.

Even if Jiang Jichen was a true Extreme Genius, he was still only in the Spirit Infant Realm. The gap between their Realms was simply too vast for him to compare.

Hearing Jiang Jichen's words, a hint of glee flashed in the eyes of Bai Zihua of the Ghost Blood People.

Before the three leaders could respond, he had already jumped in to shout, "How audacious! You, a mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator, dare to speak to Young Master Fu like that? Are you courting death?"

The others also stared at Jiang Jichen. Even the three who had been sent to fetch him had looks of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Jiang Jichen stared at Bai Zihua and said coldly, "Audacious? I am speaking with your master. When did it become the place of a lowly attendant like you to interrupt? You don't know your place. What use is there in keeping you around?"

"If it weren't for your master's sake, and the fact that we were once acquainted, I would have already struck you down!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen's words, the color drained from Bai Zihua's face. His handsome features twisted into an ugly expression.

He was about to speak when the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm raised a hand, stopping him. "Bai Zihua. It is not your place to speak here. Stand down!"

At that moment, Bai Zihua nearly coughed up blood from sheer rage.

But Jiang Jichen's voice rang out again. "Hold on. You once stole my Medicine Cauldron. Isn't it about time you returned it to me?"
