Chapter 1627: They are all Mine

Jiang Yi did not take the second or fourth pathway, but the seventh one!
He jumped off the cliff quickly, not because he was seeking death, but because he found a big problem. Earlier, he had steered two Sword Emanations Race beings into the spatial zone turbulence. The two Sword Emanations Race beings were immediately reduced to dust.
There was nothing suspicious about that, but there was a problem with the dust. Since there was dust, it must have been suspended in midair. However, when Jiang Yi tried to feel the dust, they all disappeared. Nothing was left behind.
Dao Feng and the others did not smell any blood and realized that something was amiss. Jiang Yi’s senses were even sharper while he was in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. The dust should have existed in the world. Although one probably would not be able to spot dust with their naked eye, Jiang Yi should have been able to while in that state.
Thus, he decided to take a gamble. He had to push himself to the dead end so that he could surpass his own limitations! People who set up these types of plots normally liked to disguise these huge paths to life as dead ends.
In fact, he had won the gamble.
This really was the third level. When he reached the intersection leading to nine pathways, his train of thought was not that different from Dao Feng’s. For intersections like these, the pathways at the extreme ends and the middle were normally dead ends. That was why only six choices remained.
Jiang Yi tried to see things from the standpoint of the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch. If he was the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch, he would have left two or three paths to life among these nine pathways. It would be up to the person’s luck whether he or she managed to find them.
There was a lucky number in everybody’s hearts. At first, five and nine were extremely important numbers to Jiang Yi. However, both of these numbers were out. Therefore, he had no choice but to choose seven.
He was right. When he reached the end of the passageway, he saw a door. The restrictions on the door were flashing. Going in would likely prove to be difficult.
“This was a test. People without the necessary skills would surely not be fit to go in!”
Jiang Yi looked around and released a couple of Sword Emanations Race beings to attack the door. The restrictions on the door kept flashing, causing Jiang Yi to nod. It was likely that there was a valuable treasure behind the door. Whether he would be able to obtain it would depend on whether he could break the restrictions on the door.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi summoned his Fire Dragon Sword and activated his Power of Heaven and Earth to strike hard at the door. This time, the restrictions flashed even brighter. However, it was obvious that Jiang Yi would have a hard time trying to break them.
Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Yi summoned his Merged Flames but found that the flames had a weaker effect on the restrictions than his Fire Dragon Sword. After pondering for a moment, he let Qi Qingchen and the Poison Spirit out. Facing both of them, he said, “Try and attack this door; see if you can break it open.”
“Eh?”
Qi Qingchen looked around in shock and asked, “Jiang Yi, where are we? Weren’t we in the gorge earlier? Why are we here now?”
“I have no time to explain this to you. People are hot on our trail. Hurry up and open this door.”
Jiang Yi answered Qi Qingchen with a solemn expression. If Dao Feng and the others followed him here or split up to look for him, they would arrive at any moment. Jiang Yi needed to break down the door as fast as he could so that he could hide behind it.
Tsk! Tsk!
The Poison Spirit did not hesitate to carry out Jiang Yi’s instructions. At once, he struck the door’s restrictions using his Divine Spirit Thrust, causing the restrictions on the door to flash. When Jiang Yi saw this, he nodded and said, “That’s about the same as my attack when I use all my power.”
“Linear Winds!”
Qi Qingchen waved her soft sword and gathered a soft breeze. The breeze then formed a single line. Without a sound, it flew forward and hit the door. The restrictions flashed even more intensely.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi nodded and shouted in a low voice, “Three of us will attack together. Break these restrictions as fast as you can. There isn’t any mechanism on this door; all we can do is try to break through it.”
Three of them took turns to strike the door. Jiang Yi struck it with his Fire Dragon Sword tens of times before he moved back. The Poison Spirit activated his Divine Spirit Thrust once. Each time he did, he had to take a break. This huge move consumed a lot of his energy. However, Jiang Yi handed the divine tree’s leaf over to him so that his body could recover quickly. Meanwhile, Qi Qingchen attacked several times before Jiang Yi rushed up again.
Boom, boom! Boom, boom!
The three of them kept attacking the door nonstop. As the restrictions kept flashing, the light around the door kept getting dimmer. It was obvious that its energy was depleting. The three of them attacked faster and faster as they became more and more excited.
Fifteen minutes later, the door suddenly burst into a blinding white light. Slowly, it moved inward. It was open at last.
Old rules!
Jiang Yi did not charge in. Instead, he sent a few Sword Emanations Race beings in to test the route. However, the Sword Emanations Race beings disappeared with a flash behind the door. Jiang Yi remained silent for several seconds before he turned to Qi Qingchen and said, “Walk in front.”
“Me?”
Qi Qingchen was shocked. Jiang Yi was used to being right in front at moments like these. Why was he asking her to go first this time? He did not seem to have a tender heart for the fairer sex; it was so unlike Jiang Yi.
“My jade-white armor has been broken,” Jiang Yi sighed as he smiled bitterly. “You are a King-Ranked martial artist with a Primitive Spiritual Treasure as battle armor. If you don’t go ahead of us, who will?”
“Destroyed?” Qi Qingchen frowned and said, “I’ll pass my battle armor to you. This is yours anyway.”
“We’ll talk about it when we get back. Stop talking nonsense; go in.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand. Qi Qingchen had no choice but to walk slowly ahead. In a flash, she disappeared behind the door. It was obvious that the door was a Teleportation Formation because they could not see into it at all. Qi Qingchen also disappeared once she walked through the door.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi followed closely behind her, rushing through the door. The Poison Spirit was the last to enter. Both of them felt a white light envelop them before they landed on the ground. Immediately, they activated their Art of Concealment.
“This hall is so huge.”
After activating their Art of Concealment, Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit looked around them. One look caused them both to be shocked into silence. This was the biggest palace both of them had ever seen. They could not see the end of the palace. The stone pillars beside them measured about six meters and seemed to rush straight into the sky, standing at about thirty kilometers high. Scanning the palace, they found that there were at least thousands of such pillars.
Qi Qingchen was nearby. She saw Jiang Yi teleport in. Although he was hidden, she was sure that he was still nearby. Pointing toward the north, she called out, “Jiang Yi, look there!”
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit both looked toward the north, and their eyes widened. In the north stood two, huge, stone stages. Two huge jade boxes hovered above these stages. They were flashing in nine-colored light. Even idiots would be able to tell that these were treasures.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit came out of hiding. Jiang Yi steered the Sword Emanations Race beings to lead the way while the three of them sprinted behind. After running just hundreds of meters, they suddenly jumped and slowed down significantly.
“Hundred-thousand-times gravity.”
Jiang Yi shouted in shock. He activated the Power of Heaven and Earth and shouted in a low voice, “Poison Spirit, don’t go in! Wait here for us.”
The Poison Spirit’s body was strong, but he was still slightly weaker than Qi Qingchen and Jiang Yi when he had his Power of Heaven and Earth activated. They were still thousands of meters away from the stages, and the gravity was already so frightening. Who knew how much worse it would be as they got nearer? What’s more, there were still tens of steps leading up to the stage. It would not be easy for them to get the treasures. If the Poison Spirit stayed put, he would be able to offer support to both of them.
Qi Qingchen and Jiang Yi withstood the gravitational force and continued advancing forward. Unsurprisingly to Jiang Yi, each time they covered three hundred meters, the gravity became even stronger. When they stood three kilometers away from the stages, the Sword Emanations Race beings in front of them were already as slow as God Generals. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen were moving just as slowly.
“Split up and move! Each of us will take one!”
Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up. The two stages were three kilometers apart. She was prepared for her and Jiang Yi to take one treasure each.
Jiang Yi nodded. Qi Qingchen was prepared to run towards the left when she heard something cutting through the air behind her. Then, someone laughed out loud and said, “Each will take one? Sorry, they are all mine. You will get neither. Jiang Yi, we meet again.”
Jiang Yi turned around at once, his gaze hardening. Afar, twenty figures were charging towards him. Dao Feng and the others had caught up.
