Chapter 400: Nine Paths to Heavens

Alice and Alicia, who were following behind, were also surprised.

“Is this a spirit? It actually dared to possess the Country Lord. I simply don’t know what to say. It thinks that dying once is not enough and wishes to die again!”

Hearing Alice’s ridicule, Alicia said, “The spirit just now was not weak. It just has bad luck to meet the Country Lord and got itself killed as soon as it got close. Count himself unlucky!”

Li Xiang’s expression darkened. Along the way, only he was targeted by the spirit. The two of them did not encounter any accidents, as if they were born not to be favored by those strange spirits as if they were immune.

This time, Li Xiang simply activated the Sacred Flame Halo and sped down.

But not long after, Li Xiang heard a burst of noise.

“There are nine paths here. It looks like they lead to nine platforms, but these nine paths are just nine entrances to a maze. If you enter and can’t find a way out, you probably won’t be able to escape. In the end, you might end up trapped inside.”

Li Xiang walked for a short while more. After turning a corner, the path ahead disappeared and was replaced by a huge platform.

On the platform, there were nine paths that seemed to lead to different places.

Ye Qiu and Fu Mingxue saw Li Xiang come down and hurriedly walked over.

“What’s going on?”

“This path ended here, and then nine paths appeared. However, these nine paths seem to lead to nine different places, but in reality, they all lead to the same destination. The passage contains strange Laws, like a huge maze. You can’t tell from the outside, but once you enter, you’ll be disturbed by these Laws. Previously, there were already several people who entered, but till now, there’s no movement. We don’t even know if they’re dead or alive.”

Li Xiang already knew it was a true God’s graveyard, and he had also met that strange youth, so he had already sensed that the place was filled with danger.

He raised his head and saw the nine paths floating in the air. They meandered like long dragons that extended into the darkness. Finally, they connected to an exceptionally gorgeous palace complex in the distance.

That scene was extremely shocking. Furthermore, there was a floating bridge that was dozens of kilometers long. Under the bridge was a bottomless abyss and the magnificent palace complex was in the distance.

“There is definitely danger, but how can there be any gains if I don’t take the risk? I will take the risk!”

A Human transcendent carried his weapon and stepped into one of the paths. He instantly disappeared without a trace.

It was as if a drop of water had merged into the sea.

“Just by looking at the palace complex, I can tell that many people once lived there. There must be countless treasures inside, and there might even be inheritances. First come, first served. If you’re hesitant and indecisive now, what are you doing here?”

One person cheered himself on as if he was trying to convince himself. Then, he stepped onto another path.

A calm cultivator also frowned and said, “The nine paths here are too strange. If one really wants to let people into the palace complex, there’s no need to create such nine paths. If there’s a test inside, it’s nonsense. Who would put a trap in front of their house daily for fun?”

“No matter what, since we are already here, we can’t go back. We can only choose one to enter.”

“Let’s give it a try! No matter what traps there are, let’s test them first!” A cultivator picked up a stone and threw it into one of the paths.

“Boom!”

A lightning bolt instantly struck the stone as soon as it entered, turning it into ashes.

That was not the end. Soon after, bolts of lightning swept through the entire path. Not to mention a living person, even a mosquito would not be able to fly in.

Hiss-

Countless people on the platform sucked in a breath of cold air.

Some people thought of the two people who had entered earlier and could not help but mourn for them in their hearts. Those two people were probably dead in body and soul right now, right?

Although they did not see what kind of mechanism those two people triggered after entering, no one believed they could still be alive.

“This place is indeed filled with traps. This isn’t some heavenly path. This is the road to the Netherworld, the gates of hell! Who can walk through this berserk lightning? Who can guarantee that this path only has lightning as the only mechanism?”

Following that, the other Transcendents also used various methods to test the other paths.

There were flames, frost, arrow rain, poison gas, and everything else.

That was something that could only be seen from the entrance. Who knew what dangers would be encountered on the path dozens of kilometers long?

Those weren’t nine paths to heaven but nine paths to death.

Li Xiang looked at the nine paths and thought, “Could these nine paths represent the Laws this true God has grasped? Also, setting up this test isn’t for ordinary people to pass. Could there be some other mystery?”

Ye Qiu asked, “This ancient tomb is getting stranger. Why do I feel like this place doesn’t seem like an ancient tomb but rather some ruins? Could this place be a unique combination of an ancient tomb and ruins? Which one do you plan to choose? Brother Li?”

He could only rely on Li Xiang now. With his own strength, he didn’t have any confidence at all.

Li Xiang calmly said: “The safest passage here should be the one with gravity. At the very least, the gravity there should be gradually increasing. Even if we can’t withstand it, we can retreat. But if the traps inside have some special arrangement, it’ll probably be more dangerous than the other eight paths. It’ll be even more terrifying. When the gravity increases, we won’t be able to react in time.”

Everyone here was Transcendents, and their physiques were much stronger than ordinary people. However, no matter how strong they were, there was a limit. Once they exceeded the limit, that would cause irreversible damage. At the same time, they wouldn’t be able to react in time even if they encountered danger.

Actually, to him, it didn’t matter which path he took. However, if it was really a maze, then it would be a big problem.

The remaining dozens of people on the platform who could survive would be few.

“Brother Li, whichever path you take, I’ll follow. Anyway, my life is yours. I’m willing to go through fire and water with you!”

Fu Mingxue didn’t say much, but his words carried a sense of decisiveness.

Li Xiang thought for a moment, then pointed at the middle path and said, “Then let’s take this path of thunder and lightning!”

The path of thunder and lightning could be said to be the most dangerous of the nine paths. Once one entered, one would face an endless baptism of lightning. If one couldn’t resist it, one would die without a doubt. There was no room for luck.

“The path of thunder and lightning?” Ye Qiu’s expression changed. That choice wasn’t very friendly to him. He honestly didn’t have the slightest confidence in resisting a lightning attack.

Even Fu Mingxue’s pupils constricted from the shock of Li Xiang’s choice, but his expression was still incomparably firm.

Even though that wasn’t going to be a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, it was almost equivalent.
