Western Celestial Law Ancestor heard Guan Yue automatically propose to deal with the experts of the Transformation Realm, which he was quite fond of. He knew that Guan Yue had something unusual about him, and now that he was willing to step forward, it solved a major problem they were facing.
Western Celestial Law Ancestor felt delighted and naturally spoke more: “Kuan Kid, you are quite bold. Those guardians of the Heavenly Road are not to be underestimated. You must take them seriously; otherwise, if you suffer losses here, it won't be worth it.”
Guan Yue nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not underestimate them.
Western Celestial Law Ancestor continued, “You might not know about the Heavenly Road, right? Perhaps you don't know about it at all?” He then looked proudly at Wuma Xiangwei, feeling very surprised that this young and beautiful girl could become the emperor of the great Guardian Empire. He was more familiar with Huangfu Jiayin, as she was clever and had left a deep impression on him, but he did not know much about Wuma Xiangwei. It seemed that this beautiful empress was quite comfortable in her role.
Wuma Xiangwei quickly nodded and said, “Senior, I truly do not know.”
“The so-called Heavenly Road is different from the Starting Path. The Starting Path has existed since the creation of the worlds as a means of transportation; it cannot be used for warfare. The Heavenly Road, however, is a passage exclusively for the heavenly court. The Heavenly Road is specifically used for battles, which is why the heavenly court has invested significant effort into establishing and maintaining it. Each Heavenly Road is heavily guarded.
The Desolate Great Realm enters various subordinate continents through the Heavenly Roads. A first-level Heavenly Road must be guarded by a Great Power from Nirvana Without Self, and every year, special envoys from the heavenly court go to inspect the enforcement situation. Therefore, first-level Heavenly Roads are of utmost importance to the heavenly court and are strictly monitored. The roads from each continent to various Heavenly Domains can only be considered second-level roads, which are managed much more loosely.
However, since such a major change has occurred in our Dragon Python Celestial Domain, even if the heavenly court reacts slowly, there will still be some response. Therefore, we should expedite our actions to cut off the Heavenly Road.”
Guan Yue understood Western Celestial Law Ancestor's intention; he was worried that the heavenly court would send stronger warriors to guard the Heavenly Road, making it impossible to close it.
After discussing among themselves, they decided to set off the next day. Guan Yue brought along Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, Jin Xi, and Lat's Hand, while Loyalty Gate and Western Celestial Law Ancestor took several experts from Futian Shangren, Ruo Gang, and Sky Wanderers.
The group of dozens boarded Guan Yue's Cosmic Battleship. After two days of flight, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Road.
Only then did Guan Yue realize that the Heavenly Road connecting the desolate Holy Continent and the Dragon Python Celestial Domain was actually built on a high mountain called Yan Nan Ridge.
There is only one path leading from the foot of the mountain to Yan Nan Ridge. Along this path, there are three checkpoints, each a natural fortress that is easy to defend but hard to attack.
Guan Yue and Western Celestial Law Ancestor arrived at the foot of the mountain and carefully observed the terrain. They soon realized that it had evidently been reinforced, as the number of guardians had significantly increased at each checkpoint.
Western Celestial Law Ancestor gently said to Guan Yue, "My greatest concern has finally come true; there is a Great Power of Nirvana Without Self here. This is troublesome."
Guan Yue was immediately surprised: Could it be that Western Celestial Law Ancestor could sense the Great Power of Nirvana Without Self?
Guan Yue quickly said to Western Celestial Law Ancestor, "Senior, you should return for now. I will go up first to assess the situation before making further plans." With that, Guan Yue immediately concealed himself and made his way up the mountain.
Seeing that Guan Yue had made up his mind, Western Celestial Law Ancestor decided to return and quietly await Guan Yue's reconnaissance results.
At the foot of the mountain, Guan Yue could only see the steep terrain. As he approached, he noticed that the design of this heavenly path was very clever. All roads below two meters were blocked off, while above two hundred meters was the first checkpoint.
The walls of the checkpoint were a full thirty zhang high, making it nearly impossible for attackers to succeed. Unless one forcefully breached the high walls, it was evident that they were reinforced by formations; breaking through would inevitably trigger a backlash from the formations, alerting all guardians of the heavenly path and negating any surprise attack.
However, a strong assault would certainly lead to significant casualties. For the Heavenly Court, it was inconsequential; they could afford to lose all those guardians in an instant. But for Guan Yue and his companions, any loss was unacceptable. Each one of them was a friend, a family member, a brother!
Guan Yue passed through the first checkpoint and entered the second. The second checkpoint was not as stringent as the first and had lower walls, but there were twice as many guards compared to the first checkpoint. The main task of the second checkpoint was to reinforce the first. It seemed that the designer of this heavenly path was quite shrewd; by not placing all their forces at the first checkpoint, they avoided being easily overwhelmed. This arrangement was indeed very effective.
As expected, the number of guards at the third checkpoint was roughly similar to that of the first.
Then Guan Yue flew directly to the summit. However, as soon as he arrived at the peak, he immediately triggered an urgent response from three individuals. Three figures rushed out, scanning their surroundings with visibly tense expressions.
At the top of Yan Nan Ridge, there was a divine formation laid out. This divine formation was one that Guan Yue was very familiar with. Although it had the soul of a formation, Guan Yue easily broke through it. However, when Guan Yue entered the mountaintop after breaking the formation, he immediately attracted the attention of the Three Great Powers, who simultaneously noticed that an outsider had entered the peak.
Yet, as they scanned the area with their Divine Sense, they did not detect any presence of outsiders, which surprised the Three Great Powers.
For them, it was impossible for all three to make a judgment error at the same time! There must be something amiss!
After whispering to each other, the three immediately concealed themselves and began to monitor the situation at the peak from the shadows.
At this moment, Guan Yue had already discovered the Three Great Powers, so he saw no reason to remain at the peak. He quietly broke through the heavenly formation once more and slipped back down the mountain.
The Three Great Powers vaguely sensed that someone had triggered the formation again but did not see any figures. Their confusion deepened.
Guan Yue hurried back to where everyone was hiding. He had confirmed that there was indeed a Nirvana Without Self Great Power and two Formless Realm Great Powers at this location on the heavenly road.
The next day, everyone gathered together to discuss how to deal with this situation.
The mood among them grew heavy; reality left them feeling very frustrated. The Heavenly Court reacted quickly to what was happening in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, strengthening the protection of the heavenly road as a means to combat any future actions against Sky Wanderers.
It seemed that using other pathways was not a method favored by the Heavenly Court. Their first choice remained using the heavenly road, so they promptly reinforced its protection.
A Nirvana Without Self Great Power alone would be enough to threaten all disciples of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain! Coupled with two Transformation Realm disciples, it appeared that once the Heavenly Court took action, it would be a devastating and overwhelming assault rather than a gentle repair.
