Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Six Paths Peak was ten thousand zhang tall. At its summit, nine peaks surrounded a central Sky Pit Vortex.

The map of the New Domain emerged from this Sky Pit Vortex, shooting up into the void.

Of course, the Sky Pit Vortex didn't just produce the map of the New Domain; Supreme Treasures also appeared from it.

However, the Sky Pit Vortex was filled with an inexhaustible suction force, and only things that emerged from within it were unaffected.

If a Cultivator were to float above it, they would be instantly swallowed by the Sky Pit Vortex.

The result, naturally, would be the complete annihilation of their Divine Soul.

Therefore, the nine peaks were the most advantageous positions, but they had long since been occupied by the supreme experts of the major powers.

There was no place left for latecomers or the weak.

Jiang Jichen was, naturally, among the last group of people to arrive.

By the time he reached the foot of Six Paths Peak, there was no one in sight.

Evidently, everyone had either already ascended to the summit or had scattered across Six Paths Peak in search of Supreme Spiritual Medicine.

By this point, ninety maps of the New Domain and seven Supreme Treasures had already appeared, sparking incessant struggles among the crowds.

SWOOSH!

Jiang Jichen and his party were rushing toward the summit.

Suddenly, a streak of white light flew toward them, heading straight for Han Qing.

Han Qing instinctively reached out and caught it.

An earthen-yellow bead appeared in his hand!

At the same time, a vast and incomparable wave of Earth Spirit Qi surged forth.

The image of a Black Tortoise, hidden in the center of the pearl, was astonishingly lifelike.

"Black Tortoise Pearl!"

Han Qing cried out, his voice filled with excitement.

The Black Tortoise Pearl was an Earth Attribute Supreme Treasure that possessed astonishing, boundless defensive and offensive power.

It was perfectly suited for Han Qing; no wonder he was so thrilled.

He had long been lacking a Spiritual Artifact, and this Black Tortoise Pearl was the most suitable one for him.

"That's a Supreme Treasure that just came out of the vortex! Heavens, to think it fell into that brat's hands."

"Hmph, ridiculous. A Spirit Infant Realm, a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm, and a Cyan Soul Little Skeleton dare to come here treasure hunting?"

"I don't know what kind of dogshit luck he has. We chased it all this way and couldn't get it, and now it's fallen right into that brat's hands."

"An unparalleled item like the Black Tortoise Pearl isn't something trash like you can possess! Hand it over and scram!"

...

Several voices called out as a group of people rushed over, instantly surrounding Jiang Jichen, Han Qing, and their party.

Dozens of people appeared, and more were continuously arriving behind them.

These people all had exceptionally high Cultivation. Many of the old monsters among them had likely been in the Six Paths Illusion Realm for over a century.

Moreover, they all came from major powers, had no lack of Cultivation Resources, and their strength was constantly growing.

The combat prowess of these people was terrifying!

No wonder they looked down on a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator like Jiang Jichen.

In truth, Jiang Jichen's Spirit Infant Perfection Realm Cultivation was very deceptive.

He had only been unable to break through to the next Realm because of his Cultivation Technique, but his power had been steadily increasing all along.

This was especially true for his Body Cultivation Dao. He was at the Golden Body Sixth Layer, practiced the Undying Scripture, and cultivated in an environment where the path forward was severed. By constantly pushing beyond his limits, he had naturally become boundlessly powerful.

If he could take one more step and enter the Golden Body Seventh Layer, he would be equivalent to a Spirit Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, a prospect that was even more terrifying.

Therefore, even without a follow-up Spirit Cultivation Technique to allow his Spirit Cultivation to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, Jiang Jichen was fearless, for he had the Body Cultivation Dao.

From the very beginning, Jiang Jichen had used Body Cultivation to fight his enemies. Later, he used Spirit Cultivation to continue on the severed path of Body Refining. Now, he was again relying on Body Cultivation to find a Spirit Cultivation Technique.

For Jiang Jichen, Body Cultivation and Spirit Cultivation were a complementary process; neither could be missing!

Right now, the strongest manifestation of Jiang Jichen's combat prowess lay more in his Body Cultivation—for instance, the Second Form of Annihilation Fist, All Things Perish.

Upon seeing Jiang Jichen's Spirit Cultivation, these people would never imagine he was also a fearsome Body Refiner.

Jiang Jichen frowned at them. If possible, he didn't want to clash with these people so soon.

But since they were being so aggressive, he naturally wouldn't back down.

Instead... he would strike back with overwhelming force!

"Han Qing, start refining the Black Tortoise Pearl. Little Gray, you protect him. Leave these people to me!"

Jiang Jichen said decisively.

The Black Tortoise Pearl was already in their possession; how could they possibly give it up?

Besides, if Han Qing could refine the Black Tortoise Pearl, his strength would increase immensely.

As for Youu, they were reserved for dealing with opponents at the Nascent Soul Ancestor level and would certainly not be making a move at this time.

The crowd had expected Jiang Jichen's small group to be terrified and hand over the Black Tortoise Pearl in a panic.

But the scene that unfolded was nothing like they had imagined.

'That Spirit Infant Realm youth actually said he was going to handle them?'

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into uproarious laughter.

"On his own? A mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator?"

"I could crush him with a single finger!"

The crowd pointed at him, laughing mockingly.

Someone even acted on it, flicking a finger to attack.

Several beams of Finger Light descended like mountains, seemingly intending to crush Jiang Jichen to death.

Jiang Jichen's expression was calm. Facing the oppressive Finger Light, he casually flicked a finger in response.

SNAP!

Jiang Jichen had flicked out a Soul-destroying Finger Light.

The Soul-destroying Finger Light struck the incoming beams, and they exploded with a BOOM.

But the Soul-destroying Finger Light that Jiang Jichen had unleashed was not extinguished; it pierced straight through the explosion, heading directly for the men who had attacked him.

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

The sound of flesh being pierced echoed one after another.

They had been careless and hadn't reacted in time; their bodies were each pierced by a bloody hole.

"This..."

This scene stunned everyone present.

They had never imagined such an outcome.

They had intended to crush him with a single finger, but instead, he had pierced through their bodies.

They found it unbelievable!

But Jiang Jichen had already charged forward mercilessly.

Jiang Jichen would show these people no mercy. Given the slightest opportunity, he would go straight for the kill.

After all, had his party been even slightly weaker, they would already be dead at these people's hands.

The first battle on Six Paths Peak had thus begun, leaving no room for choice.

Jiang Jichen used Shadow Step, appearing beside them in an instant and unleashing his Fist Dao.

At the same time, using his body as a weapon, he slammed several people toward Little Gray.

Little Gray raised its Big Bone Saber and brought it down, annihilating one person.

In the blink of an eye, six people had died.

Only then did the crowd react.

"Fall back! He's a Body Refiner! Don't fight him up close!"

someone shouted, starting to retreat.

But Jiang Jichen brandished the Sinking Mountain in his hand.

Suppressing Eight Directions!

The man's retreat faltered for an instant.

Sweeping the Six Harmonies!

Then six men were sent flying. Although not dead, they were heavily injured and had temporarily lost their ability to fight.

'So strong!'

In that moment, the crowd finally realized how ridiculously wrong they had been.

They had picked a fight with the wrong person.

This person was actually a Spirit-Body Dual Cultivator, an expert definitely on par with the top forty on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's rankings.

How could they possibly be a match for such a person?

No matter how many of them there were, they would all be annihilated!

Their faces changed drastically as they began to retreat to a safe distance.
