Wu Shattered Star River

Only one person has made it up in the last hundred thousand years.

Jiang Han and Xuan Ji exchanged a glance, their expressions both becoming slightly unnatural. This Qingyun Road might be very difficult to ascend.

However, since they had come here, they definitely had to try. Even if it didn't work, nothing bad would happen, and there would be no loss.

Jiang Han cupped his hands towards Shui Duoduo and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Miss Shui."

"Please follow me!"

Shui Duoduo led Jiang Han and Xuan Ji into a large hall, took a teleportation array, and arrived at the foot of a verdant mountain.

This mountain was very tall, and standing at the foot, one couldn't see the top at all. This mountain was very green, with lush green bamboo planted all over the mountains and fields.

The wind was very strong here, causing the green bamboo to make a beautiful sound, as if playing a very wonderful piece of music.

Shui Duoduo pointed to a small path and said, "This is Qingyun Road. Following the path, you can walk all the way to Miaoyin Temple in the mountains. Young Master Jiang, if you can't get up, don't force it, otherwise your soul will easily be damaged."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded and walked upwards, with Xuan Ji following behind.

Shui Duoduo said, "Saint Teacher Xuan Ji, you have been to Miaoyin Temple before. The Clan King likes you very much, so you don't need to walk Qingyun Road. If you want to go up, I can teleport you up."

"Not for now!"

Xuan Ji shook her head and said, "I will follow my master for a while first. If my master goes up and I can't, Benefactor Shui, please take me up."

"Alright!"

Shui Duoduo said with a smile, "Then I will follow you both up together. I will follow behind and won't affect you."

Jiang Han nodded and took the lead to walk upwards. Stepping onto the path, Jiang Han didn't feel anything strange.

There was no gravity, no invisible aura suppressing him. It felt like walking on an ordinary small mountain.

Xuan Ji opened her eyes wide and looked around. Both sides of the path were covered with green bamboo, densely packed. Besides the green bamboo, there was nothing else.

The path was winding and twisting. After walking for a while, they could no longer see the bottom of the mountain, only endless green bamboo.

These green bamboos were rustling in the strong wind, very rhythmically. The more they listened, the more they felt like it contained a mysterious melody.

"That's not right!"

Jiang Han's eyes suddenly became serious. He said, "Close your hearing. There is a problem with the sound of the bamboo. It is easy to fall into an illusion array."

"Okay!"

Xuan Ji quickly closed her hearing and also closed her eyes, following behind Jiang Han with her perception.

Jiang Han did the same, but even if he closed his eyes and closed his hearing, the rustling sound still echoed in his soul.

He stopped, and Xuan Ji behind him stopped as well. Shui Duoduo at the back showed a playful look on her face.

They had only just begun!

If Qingyun Road was so easy to ascend, then only one person wouldn't have made it up in the last hundred thousand years.

Jiang Han paused for a moment and continued to move forward. The sound of the bamboo swaying kept ringing in his mind. He chose to ignore it and walked forward firmly.

After walking for half a kilometer, the swaying sound of the bamboo in his soul became stronger and stronger. Jiang Han couldn't help but be affected, and he felt a little dizzy.

He stopped and opened his eyes to look at Xuan Ji, seeing that her expression was calm and she didn't seem to be affected.

Xuan Ji opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Han. She seemed to have guessed Jiang Han's predicament. She said, "Master, how about this servant teach you a Heart-Clearing Mantra to reduce external interference."

"No need!"

Jiang Han shook his head. He instinctively resisted things from the Buddhist school. He didn't want to be influenced by the Buddhist school, and then become a monk and convert to Buddhism.

He turned his gaze to Shui Duoduo behind him and asked, "Miss Shui Duoduo, how far is it from here to Miaoyin Temple?"

Shui Duoduo smiled faintly and said, "We have walked half a kilometer, and there are still four and a half kilometers ahead."

Only one-tenth of the way. Jiang Han frowned. He didn't rashly move forward, but sat down on the spot.

If he didn't find a way to break the interference of this green bamboo, then he wouldn't be able to go up this Qingyun Road in his lifetime, so there was no point in rushing to go up now.

After he sat down, he merged into this world, sensed the surrounding green bamboo, sensed the trajectory of the green bamboo swaying, and listened to the strange melodies.

After he closed his eyes and sensed carefully, he was surprised to find that no energy invaded his soul.

Since no energy invaded his soul, how did the sound in his mind sound?

He was a little dizzy now because his soul power was紊乱 (wěnluàn - disordered/chaotic). A strange energy was pulling his soul power, which caused him to feel dizzy.

"Where does this energy come from?"

Jiang Han was surprised. At first, he thought it was the swaying sound of the green bamboo that formed some kind of natural soul attack, but now he didn't find any soul invasion. It was too strange.

After sitting with his eyes closed for more than three hours, Jiang Han roughly understood something.

The green bamboo here did not invade the soul, but a strange domain was formed here. It was this domain that pulled his soul power, making his soul power紊乱 (wěnluàn - disordered/chaotic), and then making him feel dizzy.

Being in this domain, he couldn't get rid of the influence of this domain, unless he crushed the green bamboo here piece by piece and destroyed the domain here.

Obviously!

He couldn't do this. If he did, even if he went to Miaoyin Temple, he would be slapped to death by the master of Miaoyin Temple.

"Being in the domain, how can I not be affected by the domain?"

Jiang Han pondered. It was also simple to not be affected by the domain, such as stabilizing his soul power and not letting his soul power be pulled.

Xuan Ji's chanting of the Heart-Clearing Mantra was probably taking this path, strengthening her heart and stabilizing her soul power.

In addition to this, Jiang Han also thought of a way, which was to destroy this domain.

Of course, it was not to destroy the green bamboo, but to set up a domain to offset the influence of the domain here.

Jiang Han's War God Saint Domain was actually a kind of domain. If he released the War God Saint Domain, it should be able to greatly weaken the influence of the domain here.

The problem was that the War God Saint Domain could not be released continuously. Once he entered a weak period, if he walked into the depths of the mountain, he might directly faint.

"Pull down some Star Power and condense a Star Domain?"

A thought appeared in Jiang Han's mind. In fact, the Star Saint Armor was also a kind of domain.

It's just that the Saint Armor mainly defends against physical attacks, and it is estimated that the weakening effect on this kind of soul domain is limited.

"Try it!"

Jiang Han released the Star Saint Armor, and a silver battle armor appeared, covering his whole body.

"As expected!"

Jiang Han sensed it and found that his dizziness had weakened a lot. His prediction was correct.

He pondered for a moment and decided to walk a distance upwards while wearing the Star Saint Armor. He would go as far as he could.

He got up and walked upwards, and Xuan Ji immediately followed. Shui Duoduo was eager to please Xuan Ji and followed all the way.

Of course, she probably wanted to see how far Jiang Han and Xuan Ji, as the top geniuses in the world, could eventually go on Qingyun Road.

This time, Jiang Han walked quite far, a full kilometer and a half, before stopping. He couldn't hold on anymore.

He looked back and found that Xuan Ji could actually carry it better than him. Although she looked a little dizzy, her steps were still very steady.

As for Shui Duoduo, she was completely unaffected, and didn't know what secret technique she had cultivated or what treasure she possessed.

"I must deduce a domain, otherwise I can't go up this Qingyun Road at all!"

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and sat down on the spot. He said to Xuan Ji, "Xuan Ji, you rest for a while. I need to deduce a domain, otherwise we can't go up here."

Xuan Ji sat down obediently. Shui Duoduo's eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly, muttering in her heart, "As expected of the number one young person of the Human Race, he found the direction so quickly, but... hehe!"
