Chapter 1617: Chapter 983: The Sky-Covering Trio Visits Again_2

"I fear that some uncontrollable changes have taken place within the Bizarre Clan, possibly related to the master’s longstanding concerns."

Jiang Hui remained silent.

He also thought of this, which is why he felt a sense of urgency.

His enemies were not solely the Bizarre Clan, but also the Red-Haired Monster.

Now, the drastic changes in the Bizarre Clan’s actions made his heart sound a furious warning; all of this might be related to the Red-Haired Monster.

"You continue to observe the Ancient Road of Time, I will leave an Immortal Eye on you."

Jiang Hui pondered for a moment, beckoning to the first avatar.

The first avatar quickly approached him.

His slender fingers landed on its central forehead.

The Immortal Eye imprinted in the Sea of Consciousness of the first avatar, then a cloud pattern with golden edges and a silver mark appeared at its central forehead.

Even if Jiang Hui did not purposefully observe here, the Immortal Eye would automatically organize the sights and sounds from the Ancient Road of Time, conveying useful information to Jiang Hui.

Then.

Jiang Hui stepped out, time flowed laterally, the surrounding lights and shadows changed, and he arrived alone at the core of the Sea of Karma.

"Rumble!"

As soon as he approached here.

The terrifying sound of crashing waves echoed.

In front lay an endless ocean, quaking with dread.

The surface of the Sea of Karma shimmered, but it wasn’t due to the sunlight casting down, forming golden splendor.

It looked more like a slowly unfolding ink wash painting, where waves rolled as if ink was splashed and wielded upon it.

By the embankment, a small black awning boat was moored.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hui strolled onto the little black awning boat, then vigorously wielded the bamboo pole.

The little black awning boat immediately shot out as if a sharp blade, like lightning, swiftly dashing forward.

"Splash."

The giant waves shattered by the petite black awning boat, cleaving apart.

The little black awning boat traveled further and further, slowly becoming a small black dot in the quaking ink wash ocean.

The scene ahead gradually no longer appeared as blurry as before, becoming gradually clear and visible.

But as soon as the core of the Sea of Karma became clear, Jiang Hui’s expression became even more somber.

This place was also being eroded by mysterious forces.

Among the densely packed web-like karma lines, wisps of dark energy rose.

All the karma was nearly being contaminated by mysterious forces, or rather, being manipulated by mysterious forces.

Why was the Bizarre Clan doing this?

One must know that the Sea of Karma is unlike any other; it is the gathering place of karma from infinite universes. Not even those at the pinnacle level would dare meddle in it.

Because even the slightest mistake would cause the limitless power of karma to backfire on oneself.

In such a scenario, at best, one’s Primordial Spirit might be damaged, taking an extended time to recover, while at worst, one might fall into an abyss of endless calamity.

Karma is like an invisible curse, even more impossible to anticipate, formless and colorless, yet possessing power strong enough to affect even top-tier powerful beings.

Jiang Hui frowned deeply, thoughts swirling in his mind.

He quickly realized.

The Bizarre Clan was looking for something through the Sea of Karma.

But what were they seeking?

This thought dawned upon him.

Jiang Hui’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

The answer seemed self-evident.

Goddammit.

Jiang Hui couldn’t help but feel the urge to curse.

Originally, stepping into the Sacrificial Path State was an unprecedented good thing.

He no longer needed to hide and could even wait for the right moment to join Ye Emperor, Emperor Huang Tian, Willow God, Emperor Huanfen, and others to launch an assault on the Highland.

Now, it seemed, perhaps due to some untraceable reasons, the narrative in its entirety merely indicated a single place where the Red-Haired Monster had awakened.

Even taking a step back, if not an awakening, it must have connected with the Ten Great Mysterious Ancestors.

He didn’t linger long here.

Afterward, Jiang Hui rowed the little black awning boat back to the embankment.

After cautiously advising the first avatar once more, he planned to directly return to the village.

Originally, given the occurrence of this event, he intended to seek out the Heavenly Covering Trio to check if the three were alright.

But after some thought, I gave up on this idea.

It wasn’t because I couldn’t find the correct time coordinate,

The Guiding Stone can lead others, and naturally, it can lead Jiang Hui as well.

The reason for abandoning this plan was the sensation of pulsations coming from the Guiding Stone that belongs to the Heavenly Covering Trio.

Clearly, the three must have realized the Guiding Stone is now usable and are rushing to the village to confirm, and they’re already quite close to it.

With this thought, without any hesitation, Jiang Hui immediately took a step forward,

The vast distances that are far away even for those who reach the end of the road are just a step away for Jiang Hui.

Not long after returning to the village, three familiar figures appeared at the door, and Jiang Hui directly indicated for the three to go up the mountain.

Back mountain.

The trees were lush, petals fell like rain, and beneath the low shrubs were clusters of hundred-knot flowers and moon pill, much like the paradisiacal scenes described in storybooks.

Under a pavilion.

Several people sat together.

On the stone table, steam rose from the tea being brewed.

Naturally, the tea was not ordinary.

It was picked from the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

For these people, the tea no longer had the effect of enlightenment, but it won in its unique flavor, which was quite nice purely as a drink, smooth and refreshing with a sweet aftertaste.

"Senior Jiang, didn’t you say you would be silent for a while? How is it that you..."

Ye Fan drank the hot tea in his cup in one gulp, then eagerly looked at Jiang Hui and asked.

He and Wushi, along with the Cruel Man, were originally hiding in an abandoned star, when they suddenly felt the Guiding Stone had restored its pulsation, so they immediately set out to investigate.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the Immortal Domain, the originally desolate scene vanished, replaced with a former dazzling splendor.

Truly, a twist of fate!

But if Ye Fan didn’t remember wrongly, during their last parting, Senior Jiang had repeatedly urged them to act cautiously because he needed to fall into silence and would not appear for a short time.

If calculated carefully, how long had passed since the last separation?

It’s hard to remember exactly, but it definitely wasn’t long.

As they spoke, the other two members of the trio, Wushi and the Cruel Man, also looked up at Jiang Hui, their eyes filled with curiosity.

All three were very curious, with eyes full of anticipation, waiting for Jiang Hui’s explanation.

Inside the pavilion, it became so quiet that even the sound of the wind seemed to stop.

Jiang Hui smiled slightly, his voice carefree and indifferent: "My fellow daoists, to speak candidly, I have already stepped into the Sacrificial Path State."

Wealth unreturned to one’s hometown is like wearing fine clothes at night.

Such a significant event, for Jiang Hui, naturally had to be shared with this Heavenly Covering Trio. Otherwise, enjoying the joy alone was somewhat meaningless.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the pavilion instantly congealed.

The teacup in Ye Fan’s hand nearly slipped and fell,

Ye Emperor suddenly looked up at Jiang Hui, incredulous.

He himself had not yet stepped into the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, yet Senior Jiang had already ascended to the Sacrifice Path, a speed that left him speechless.

Ye Fan opened his mouth, and after a moment, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Senior Jiang, you... you’ve really stepped into the Sacrificial Path State?"

Wushi and the Cruel Man both widened their eyes. The two who usually remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain found their breaths somewhat rapid now.

Although the two were still far from this realm, they were no Wu Xia Ameng, understanding nothing. After their last farewell with Senior Emperor Huanfen, he had briefly explained this realm to them.

It is truly the ultimate extremity of all.

Most importantly, if one wants to end the source of the Bizarre, merely reaching the end of the road is not enough. They glimpsed a scene in which the source of the Bizarre had also reached this realm.

Therefore, only by entering this realm would they truly possess the power to resist and resolve the Mysterious.

Because of this, with a devoted heart, the trio yearned earnestly for this realm, as reaching the end of the road was no longer the ultimate goal.

The Sacrifice Path was.

Jiang Hui looked at the varied expressions of the three and couldn’t help but feel a surge of secret pride and excitement.

From the birth of time till now, whether in the past, present, or future...

He should be considered the only one who can boast in front of the entire Heavenly Covering Trio?

"Senior, you are our model!" Ye Fan first spoke, his voice excited, "We shall certainly take you as a role model, continuing to strive in our cultivation to step into this realm as soon as possible."

Wushi spoke, "Senior, your entry into the Sacrificial Path State is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for us three, and a great fortune for all living beings in the world!"

His voice was full of emotion.

After all, as the first innate Sacred Body Daoist Embryo in history, even under incomplete Great Taoist and constrained rules, he advanced triumphantly. Now, let alone the Sacrificial Path State, even the Quasi-Immortal Emperor formally advancing was still unachieved.

If he didn’t remember wrongly, when they first met, although he couldn’t discern Senior Jiang’s realm, the latter had straightforwardly said he was only in the Immortal King Realm, just like them.

Now, however, he stood as high as a mountain, able only to gaze at his back.
