CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 333: ALL THE LIMELIGHT WAS STOLEN

Over two hundred Immortal Kings and Demon Kings used their ultimate techniques simultaneously towards a certain point in front of the bubble.

The most direct way to break this bubble is to blast it with force.

This is also the experience summarized by the ancients.

Accompanied by a violent rumbling sound, the pink bubble burst.

Then, the pale blue ’sky’ appeared again.

Everyone hurriedly summoned their Immortal Country again and continued on their way.

This stage posed no difficulty for them.

In the following ten days, everyone joined forces to break two more suddenly appearing bubbles.

On this day, a fork in the road finally appeared ahead.

The quality of origin here has reached the peak of the First Realm, making cultivation here much better than when they first entered.

However, different from what Brother Cheng imagined as a normal intersection, there were two unknown entrances ahead.

The two entrances were identical, and it was unclear what the situation inside was.

The Immortal Tree has countless branches and forks; one of the paths, left or right, would lead to the Second Realm, getting closer to the main trunk.

The other one might lead to another branch of the First Realm.

Inside, there’s no omniscient view of the whole map, so they can only guess by intuition.

If they choose wrong, it would be very troublesome.

There is no return entrance along each path; they would have to continue along the wrong path.

Miao Yu unhesitatingly chose the right path, and everyone else followed without hesitation.

The reason is simple: many people here have been through this.

Experience was accumulated during the previous two openings of the Immortal Tree, knowing that the right is correct.

Crossing the entrance, they indeed entered a branch of the Second Realm.

The quality of origin here is much higher than in the First Realm, significantly helping the innate foundation.

However, no one stopped and continued to forge ahead.

After five days, the scene ahead suddenly changed again.

people simultaneously descended into a small city.

The buildings in this city were lifelike, just like the outside world.

However, it was deserted and filled with death qi.

Brother Cheng glanced around, and once again everyone’s Immortal Country was sealed away, indicating that this was the danger of the Second Realm.

He naturally drew the Rainbow Absolute Immortal Sword.

"No!"

Miao Yu hurriedly stopped his next attack.

"What’s wrong?"

"Here, brute force can’t break it."

Jiyun also sent a message: "Sect Leader Jiang, here, a specific exit must be found."

"If we destroy this place, we will lose the clues, and then we will have to wait a month for this city to slowly reconstruct."

"To pass this layer, it’s said that some people have wandered here for decades."

Brother Cheng helplessly shook his head, feeling like it was a game of breaking through stages in this Immortal Tree.

What clues need to be found?

Under the guidance of ’strategic’ Miao Yu, everyone didn’t have to search aimlessly; they directly crossed several streets into a pharmacy.

Pushing open the back door of the pharmacy, everyone entered in single file.

They then found a dried well in the backyard.

Before Brother Cheng could react, Miao Yu was the first to jump in.

Following the crowd into the dried well, the scene before their eyes changed once again.

A new small city appeared ahead.

"Why is there more?"

"This stage has a total of three illusion realms; we just passed the First Layer."

Jiyun explained to him.

"If someone has cultivated the Illusion Rule, passing this stage would be much easier."

"But now that Miao Yu knows the way, it’s not needed."

Sure enough, Miao Yu quickly led everyone to a side room in a mansion in the city.

The room was fully furnished with tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets, and there was a painting on the wall.

The woman rushed directly into the painting.

Darn, is this the exit?

Brother Cheng didn’t know what to say.

If he were here alone, who knows when he would figure out it was here.

Passing through the scroll, they entered the small city in the painting.

Led by Miao Yu again, they transmitted once more in this painted city.

This time everyone finally passed this stage, returning to the outside world.

Among the 271 people, a good number of them, like Brother Cheng, were here for the first time.

And some were here for the second time, but only knew the route and vague rules, without such detailed ’strategy’.

Just now, this stage caused many people to complain.

"It’s too complicated; without Miss Miao Yu leading the way, I wouldn’t have thought of it even if I hit my head hard."

"Indeed, thanks to her."

"The Celestial Pavilion folks, they were clearly well prepared!"

"Following her is incredibly reliable, it feels like there’s nothing to worry about..."

Miao Yu herself did not show any pride, just inexplicably glanced at Jiang Cheng, then continued to lead the way.

Brother Cheng couldn’t understand what her gaze meant.

Was she showing off?

Thinking about it, he felt a bit jealous.

The limelight had been completely stolen by this woman!

Currently, she was clearly the protagonist of this team, all the spotlight was on her.

If the team were to choose a captain now, probably ninety percent would choose her.

This made Brother Cheng feel embarrassed but helpless.

She had the map and preparation, like playing a game with a strategy guide; even with his system, it was hard to steal her spotlight.

He could only secretly hope that later there would be particularly difficult stages, so he could turn the tide and reclaim the grandeur of King Bi.

If this thought were revealed, others might vomit blood in anger.

After all, everyone hoped for simplicity.

Half a month later, when they reached the fork in the Second Realm, two entrances appeared ahead again.

This time, a dozen Immortal Kings in the team stayed behind.

"This is our limit."

"We definitely can’t withstand the origin of the Third Realm."

"Thank you, Miss Miao Yu, for bringing us here!"

Miao Yu nodded and then chose the left entrance.

Everyone else followed.

In the Third Realm, they encountered difficulties again but passed easily under Miao Yu’s leadership.

At the fork in the Third Realm, over a hundred people stayed behind.

They were unable to continue.

Even one Immortal King from the Celestial Pavilion stayed behind.

While Mingchi and Liu Yuan Immortal King in Brother Cheng’s team also stopped here.

"Sect Leader Jiang, I really wanted to follow you forward!"

"But unfortunately, our strength is lacking!"

The two felt quite regretful, but there was no way.

Even if Brother Cheng wanted to lead them, he couldn’t; their Immortal Country couldn’t withstand such strong origin power in the next realm.

It would instead harm them.

As they continued on, when they reached the fourth realm’s fork, another hundred people stayed behind.

At this moment, the team of 271 people was reduced to only 35.

Again, five Immortal Kings from the Celestial Pavilion stayed behind.

None from Brother Cheng’s side were left behind this time.

Neither Xiao Kun, Shali, Hua Yin, nor Jiyun, the Three Great Corpse Kings, Wu Jue, Jingyu, or She Lan were ordinary Immortal or Demon Kings.

Their foundation, luck, and combat power far surpassed ordinary Immortal Kings, with innate foundations that all were extraordinarily solid.

In the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, such individuals were destined to go farther.

And this was precisely the main reason why the Celestial Pavilion initially sought them as allies.

The earlier stages were just a prelude; the true tests lay ahead.
