Chapter 1377: Twenty-Two Paths

ned.A hurried voice came from within the snowflakes: "Grandfather, a horde of demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Grotto is attacking from ten thousand miles away!"First release on Traditional Chinese...Even though he had been within illusions before, Jiang Yun had never truly seen the true form of a mirage. But at this very moment, what appeared before him was merely an illusory projection!

Hallucinatory projections!

However, even as a projection, it was extremely clear. Clear enough for Jiang Yun to clearly see every silver line densely covering the projection.

Although Jiang Yun didn't know, whether the mirage he had seen in the Shanhai Realm back then was also a projection, he thought it should be so.

"Mirage, what exactly is it!"

A puzzled expression flickered in Jiang Yun's eyes as he gazed upon this towering, hundred-zhang tall projection. It spanned dozens of zhang across and was a solid black.

This question, of course, was beyond Jiang Yun's knowledge, so he didn't dwell on it. Instead, his gaze fixed upon the silver lines covering the surface of the mirage.

At this sight, Ginger Cloud's pupils suddenly constricted!

Because these lines, which should have been still, some of them were actually moving slightly, as if they had come to life, swaying under my gaze.

"Twenty-one, twenty-two!"

There are twenty-two lines swaying!

And this number caused a barely perceptible tremor to run through Jiang Yun's body, for it was precisely the number of scars he now bore from breaking open the reincarnation seal left by his grandfather!

With twenty-two slashes carved into it, the mirage's projection now bore twenty-two lines, as if imbued with life.

This is definitely not a coincidence!

This discovery made Jiang Yun vaguely think of something, but for a moment he couldn't grasp it. He could only widen his eyes silently and continue to stare intently at the twenty-two swaying lines that were becoming increasingly intense.

It feels like they're welcoming their arrival...

Fortunately, at this moment, everyone was staring intently at the mirage, so no one noticed Ginger Cloud's abnormality.

Jan Qiu did not urge the others either. He knew that for those who saw this strange building for the first time, their hearts must be filled with shock, and they would definitely want to get a glimpse of its true appearance.

Since everyone was already here, and all of them were under the influence of his spatial power, he wasn't worried about anyone betraying him and escaping. So, he waited generously.

A moment later, Zhan Tianli's voice rang out again, "This is the Strange Building, it truly lives up to its name!"

"The ripples covering its exterior are able to block divine sense, I can't see its true form anyway. What about you all"

As a practitioner of physical cultivation, Zhan Tianli, despite his impressive cultivation level, possessed the weakest divine sense among everyone.

Chang Li shook his head and said, "I can't see through it either!"

Others, including the mysterious衛九, also shook their heads in silence.

However, Zhan Chou's gaze suddenly shifted to Zi Zhu Dao: "Zi Dao-you, have you made any discoveries"

The current purple bamboo, the pupils in its eyes have already split into countless, almost completely filling the eye sockets, and they are still wriggling constantly, looking quite eerie.

Upon hearing Zhan Qiu's inquiry, she remained silent for a moment before responding: "I can only faintly see some lines!"

Zizhu's answer immediately brought a hint of joy to Zhan Chou's face.

He invited Zizhū to come because the destination of this trip required a pair of eyes with divine vision.

But at this moment, even though Zizhu couldn't fully see through the ripples covering the strange building outside, it was at least proof that her eyes were indeed much stronger than other people's.

Ge Song, the master of medicine who had never spoken a word, couldn't help but speak up when he heard Zi Zhu's words. "What lines Could it be some kind of Dao pattern or rune"

Zi Zhu shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, I can only see that these lines are silvery!"

With a heavy cough, Zhan Chou continued, "Everyone, since we can't see through it, let's not waste time here. Let's quickly enter and seek out our own fortunes!"

Everyone naturally had no objection, but Jiang Yun remained silent, still staring intently at the twenty-two lines.

Zhan Chou naturally didn't know what Jiang Yun was doing. He raised his hands and, with lightning speed, struck out countless hand seals, shooting them towards the mirage.

Strangely enough, his imprints seemed to pass right through the ripples.

Ginger cloud, unaffected by the ripples, could clearly see that all these seals flew towards a single, motionless line.

And as these imprints sank in, the line itself began to sway ever so slightly.

This discovery stirred a movement in Jiang Yun's heart: "Could it be that these lines are actually the mechanisms for activating the mirage"

"As long as one mastered the corresponding seals and triggered the mechanisms, they could enter freely into the body of a Yinling beast through the mirage's projection"

In the beginning, within the realm of Shan Hai, numerous sects pooled together nine fragments of jade talismans. By piecing them together into a complete jade talisman, they finally unlocked the key.

If my guess is correct, what exists within the Jade Seal are similar types of imprints.

It's a pity that, although I thought of this possibility, Zhan Chou's speed was simply too fast, and the number of seals he cast was also enormous.

It even contained the power of space, causing the shapes of Yin Jue to be somewhat distorted. Therefore, even if Jiang Yun had good eyesight, it would be impossible for him to remember these Yin Jue.

"Buzz!"

As these seals were massively submerged, the entire mirage's projection gradually began to shake. Within this shaking, rays of light shimmered on it.

Others may not know what these glows mean, but Ginger Cloud knows in her heart that the appearance of these glows means the passage to the Mirage Tower is about to open.

Once the twilight completely engulfs everyone, it will send them into the body of the Netherworld beast.

But at this time, Zhan Chou's face was filled with anxiety, and his hands were pinching the seals faster and faster, making it almost dizzying.

Everyone naturally saw the strangeness in Jan Chou's behavior. Although there were doubts, no one thought much of it.

Only Ginger Cloud's eyes shone with a glimmer.

This is the place of Yaodao Heaven, three months ago, the mirage appeared here, attracting the attention of many people, and naturally included the Yaodao Sect!

Although there are no more members of the Yaodao Sect here, once this glow appears again, the Yaodao Sect members will surely return.

"Zhang Chou, this is clearly worrying about people from the Yao Dao Sect appearing!"

"If the people from the Yao Dao Sect were to appear, could I perhaps leave some clues for them"

……

The Yaodao Sect, the only one of the Nine Great Sects entirely composed of demon race cultivators!

For the birth of the Yao Dao Sect, many human cultivators are greatly puzzled.

Since humans and demons have always been at odds, why would the Daoist Sovereign, as the supreme being among humans, allow the existence of the Yaodao Sect, even ranking it as one of the Nine Great Sects

Later, the Venerable Master himself conveyed the message. Regardless of demon clan or human clan, all living beings within this world, as long as they possess a heart that seeks the Dao, are equal beings.

With these words spreading, it not only dispelled the confusion in the hearts of those human cultivators but also made them even more respectful towards the Dao Venerable.

Evidently, once one reaches the Dao Sovereign realm, distinctions between humans and demons cease to exist in their eyes.

Of course, some demon clans scoffed at the words of the Daoist Sovereign!

At this moment, in the deepest hall of the Yaodao Sect, a hall that outsiders could not even see, two figures sat.

A man of great stature, with a lion's nose and wide mouth, exuding an aura of immense authority, was none other than the headmaster of the Yaodao Sect, Zuochuzǐ.

And opposite him sat a middle-aged man in a red robe, a blood-robed demon cultivator!
