"The second path is a little further. We'll go through the Star Transmission Pillar in the southwest direction, bypassing the Star Transmission Pillar in the west, and arrive at the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction. It'll take us five days to get there!" Ling Dong said.
The seven Star Transmission Pillars in the Sky-Connecting Mystery Land were not set up according to the directions of the north, south, east, and west. The directions were correct, but the distances were different. For example, the Star Transmission Pillar in the west was less than three hundred miles away from the center of the seven Star Transmission Pillars. However, the Star Transmission Pillar in the southwest direction was at least five hundred miles away from the center!
The strange arrangement of the seven Star Transmission Pillars was also the reason why Ling Dong could only find these three paths!
Qiu Qingyi frowned. "According to Eighth Brother's explanation, one of the Star Transmission Pillars in the southwest, northwest, and southeast directions must be the stronghold of the Kuixing Pavilion, which has two palaces and one pavilion. The Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction is already guarded by the Sky Kuixing Sect, so the southwest direction is very likely to be the stronghold of the Kuixing Pavilion. Even if it isn't, isn't it too dangerous to go through there directly? "
"The third path is relatively safer. It's a big circle, bypassing the two Star Transmission Pillars in the southwest and west direction, and then arriving at the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction. It'll take at least ten days! If we encounter difficult Demonic Beasts, it may take even longer! "Ling Dong did not say much, but directly stated the safest third path!
Ling Dong believed that he had made it very clear on which of the three paths to choose!
"No, ten days is too long. Maybe when we reach the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction, they'll have already entered the Sky-Connecting Palace. In my opinion, we should choose the second path! "Princess Xuanji made her choice first.
"Alright, we'll choose the second path! Ten days is indeed too long! If we can't activate the Star Transmission Pillar in 18 days and enter the Sky-Connecting Palace, the remaining surviving warriors will be directly transmitted out! The second path is relatively safer! "Qiu Qingyi said after thinking for a while.
When Ling Dong looked at Tu Bai, Tu Bai grinned and said, "I'll follow Big Brother Ling now. Who cares what's in front of us? At most, we'll die! Moreover, you can't believe everything that Eighth Brother says! "
"It should be true! When we came here, Elder Shi specifically told me not to go to the Star Teleportation Pillars in the east and west! Moreover, Gu Tongtian and the others of Sky Kui Sect had long since locked onto the teleportation pillars in the northwest direction! That's probably the reason … "Princess Xuanji said.
"Then it's decided. The second route, let's go!" Ling Dong waved his hand and took the lead to head southwest!
As they entered the Sky-Reaching Mystic Realm on the fifth day, there were almost no lone martial artists on the road. If they had not been killed by other cultivators, then they had joined up with their fellow disciples.
Hence, along the way, other than encountering a few troublesome demonic beasts, they did not encounter any other warriors, let alone Ling Da Jie who had obtained a few Star Pearls.
However, Ling Dong did not slack off along the way. He kept thinking about Eighth Brother's confession, which was the unspoken rules of the Sky-Reaching Mystic Realm.
Eighth Brother's confession could be summed up in one sentence — everything in the Sky-Reaching Mystic Realm was predetermined. Other than the two palaces and one pavilion, as well as one or two other major forces, all the other sects' martial artists were just there to serve as a foil!
This rule even extended to the ownership of the treasure in the Sky-Reaching Palace. In the end, the ownership of the treasure in the Sky-Reaching Palace was only a battle between the two palaces and one pavilion.
Going on, the two palaces and one pavilion had already divided these in order to avoid excessive internal friction. For example, in the Sky-Reaching Mystic Realm, the East and West Star Transmission Pillars were the sphere of influence of the Hidden Star Palace, which also represented the position of the leader of the Hidden Star Palace.
The North and South Star Transmission Pillars were the sphere of influence of the Forgotten Palace. As for the Kuixing Pavilion, because the Kuixing Pavilion had entered the secular world and had complicated relationships in the secular world, the Kuixing Pavilion did not monopolize the two Star Transmission Pillars like the Forgotten Palace and the Hidden Star Palace did!
The Kuixing Pavilion would generally choose one or two of the remaining three Star Transmission Pillars. Under such circumstances, the three forces of the Two Palaces and One Pavilion would never clash and cause internal friction. The main battlefield of the three forces was the Sky-Reaching Palace!
The treasure in the Sky-Reaching Palace was what the three forces were fighting for. As for the martial artists sent by the other sects, under certain circumstances, they had become the prey of the Two Palaces and One Pavilion. As for the Sky-Reaching Palace, these martial artists had nothing to do with it!
However, Ling Dong did not want to be a foil to the Two Palaces and One Pavilion. On the contrary, Ling Dong's ambition was very big. Ling Dong also wanted to have a share of the treasure in the Sky-Reaching Palace!
However, Ling Dong also knew that his strength was limited. It was already difficult for him to deal with three martial artists from the Forgotten Palace, not to mention the elite forces of the Forgotten Palace and the Hidden Star Palace.
In Ling Dong's opinion, although Tu Bai's strength was not bad, if he encountered the disciples of the Forgotten Palace and the Hidden Star Palace, he would not be of much help. On the contrary, although Qiu Qingyi's cultivation was only at the Second Grade of the Earth Emanations Realm, with the strange and powerful white light in her hand, she was still very powerful.
However, Ling Dong still did not know how Qiu Qingyi released that white light. Ling Dong only knew that it was definitely not pure Gang Qi. More specifically, Ling Dong could not sense it.
"It seems that before entering the Sky-Reaching Palace, I have to find a way to weaken the Hidden Star Palace, the Forgotten Palace, and the Kuixing Pavilion's strength!" Otherwise, with their strength, if they entered the Sky-Reaching Palace and faced the martial artists from the Hidden Star Palace, the Forgotten Palace, and the Kuixing Pavilion, they would either choose to be a foil or choose to be a moth to a flame. They would be digging their own graves.
Along the way, Ling Dong had been thinking about this problem, but he had not come up with an answer.
What a joke! If the Hidden Star Palace, the Forgotten Palace, and the Kuixing Pavilion's strength were so easily weakened, in the past three hundred years, the martial artists sent by the True Gang Sect would not have returned alive!
"Speed up! We are already 300 miles away from the Star Transmission Pillar in the southwest direction. Maintain this distance and quickly pass through the range of the Star Transmission Pillar in the southwest direction. Then, we will be safe!" When everyone saw a towering Star Transmission Pillar shining with silver light, Qiu Qingyi reminded them and instantly sped up!
Qiu Qingyi's voice awakened Ling Dong who was in deep thought. However, Ling Dong did not have any doubts about his Senior Sister's actions. As the saying goes, caution is the parent of safety. Caution was one of the prerequisites for a martial artist to live long enough!
"We've safely passed through this place. Let's have a good rest tonight …" Ling Dong's voice suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence. His gaze was fixated on the two exceptionally terrifying green lights that were swiftly flying over from the distant sky!
That meant that there were two Heaven Realm martial artists rushing over here. It was very likely that they would be discovered. The others also saw this scene, and nervousness shrouded their faces!
"They're coming for us?" Tu Bai asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about them. Let's go our own way!" While Ling Dong urged, he sized up the two streaks of light flying in the sky, but his feet did not slow down at all.
Ling Dong was not afraid of the two Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists. He could kill them with some effort. However, Ling Dong was worried about their companions nearby. For a Heaven Realm martial artist who could fly, a distance of a hundred miles was really nothing! Even the worst Heaven Realm martial artist who was at the first level of Heaven Realm could fly two hundred miles in two hours.
For a distance of a hundred miles, if one did not care about consumption, and if one's cultivation was stronger, one could cover it in thirty minutes!
What made Ling Dong and others feel lucky was that the target of the two Heaven Realm martial artists was not them. When they were about fifty miles away from them, they turned a corner and actually turned to the side of Ling Dong and others.
Then, the sword light soared into the sky. It was actually a fierce fight with someone. Looking at the sword light, the number of martial artists who were fighting with the two Heaven Realm martial artists seemed to be not small. There were at least three or four people!
Seeing this scene, Ling Dong's heart suddenly moved. Should I go and take advantage of it?
However, Ling Dong immediately rejected his idea. The two Heaven Realm martial artists were most likely martial artists from the Kuixing Pavilion. After all, the Heaven Realm martial artists who entered the Heaven Reaching Mystery Land this time were all from the two palaces and one pavilion.
In that case, if the two martial artists were really in danger, they could fly into the sky and wait for reinforcements. Ling Dong and others really could not do anything to them. Who could fly?
"It seems that they are fighting very fiercely! The other party's strength is also very strong! "Looking at the crisscrossing sword light, Tu Bai sighed.
"Don't bother about them. Let's leave quickly …" Ling Dong's voice suddenly stopped. At this moment, Ling Dong had just taken a big step forward. However, the difference of one step made Ling Dong's expression extremely strange! It was extremely exciting!
Ling Dong did not expect such a coincidence! The appearance of this coincidence put Ling Dong in a bit of a dilemma!
"Senior Sister, Little Bai, I'm sorry. The place of battle in front may be related to a very important matter of mine. I have to go there!" After the strange expression on Ling Dong's face, he said this sentence very awkwardly.
Ling Dong also did not expect that such a thing would happen here. However, Ling Dong had to go. Looking at the three people's surprised expressions, Ling Dong said again, "Senior Sister, why don't you go to the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction first! After I settle the matter there, I will catch up with you! "After saying that, Ling Dong turned around and prepared to set off towards the place of battle!
Qiu Qingyi rolled her eyes at Ling Dong and said, "Why? Your Senior Sister is so afraid of death, or afraid that we will drag you down if you bring us there?"
"No …"
"Then what are you talking about? Let's go quickly. It will be troublesome if we delay the matter!" Qiu Qingyi interrupted Ling Dong and said.
Looking at Qiu Qingyi and Tu Bai who followed him without hesitation, Ling Dong was inexplicably touched. They did not even ask about the matter and supported him without any choice. One must know that this was the Sky Reaching Arcane Land where one could die at any time!
Looking at Ling Dong and the other two who turned around quickly, Princess Xuanji could only stand there and stomp her feet fiercely. Then, she followed helplessly!
