Chapter 1680: Immortal Mansion Entrance

The true celestial scene, hidden above the clouds, finally emerged into the sight of all below as the mist cleared.

"Heavens, I never imagined that behind these clouds lay a boundless sea of stars!" All the warriors watching this sight were stunned, as no one had anticipated such a scene behind the clouds. Even Xu Yang was momentarily transfixed. After recalling his Ethereal Sword Soul, Xu Yang ceased releasing any of his power. He simply used his mental energy to observe the seven brilliant stars in the sky as they moved amongst the warriors' field of vision. At a certain point, the seven stars arranged themselves in a highly regular pattern and stopped moving.

The brilliant light emanating from these seven stars converged directly above the hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, forming an incredibly intricate stellar inscription.

This inscription was remarkably translucent, and the powerful aura it emitted truly astonished the hundreds of thousands of demon beast warriors.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Long Kun and the others all fixed their gaze on Xu Yang, awaiting his answer. Xu Yang smiled faintly.

"You needn't be nervous," Xu Yang said. "According to my judgment, this star totem outlined by the seven stars should be some kind of guidance for us. Or rather, the secret behind this totem is an important clue connecting to the respective immortal abodes of the Six Veins Royal Families of the Human Spirit realm."

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yang turned his gaze to Xiao Xiang and Jiu'er. The two beautiful young women immediately stepped forward upon receiving his command.

"How may we assist you?"

Xu Yang pointed towards the inscribed layer outlined by the seven brilliant stars above them.

"Now, I'm entrusting you two to help me resolve this mystery," he began. "If my judgment is correct, then as long as you release your powers through your respective innate cultivation techniques from the Six Veins heritage and attempt to make contact with this inscription, there will surely be a response. If my judgment is mistaken, then your powers will not manifest on the surface of this layer."

Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xiang immediately unleashed the full power of her Longevity Sacred Art. A vast aura of life swiftly enveloped the surface of the inscription before them.

Almost simultaneously, a change that astonished everyone finally unfolded.

The star totem, which had initially appeared incredibly complex and irregular, underwent a dual transformation in both its position and its shape, right before everyone's eyes, after absorbing the rich life essence of the Longevity Sacred Art.

As if endowed with life, it quickly moved within everyone's sight, soon reassembling itself into a remarkably intricate totem.

Neither Xu Yang nor the demon beast army found this layered pattern unfamiliar. It was one of the array patterns from the Human Spirit Imperial Array, previously demonstrated by the six chief elders of the Six Veins Royal Families upon their arrival, representing the Misty Rain Dynasty. The iconic lotus inscription of the Longevity Sacred Art appeared before everyone's eyes.

The moment this familiar inscription, unique to the Misty Rain Dynasty lineage, appeared, everyone understood that Boss Xu Yang's conjecture had been proven correct once again.

A collective roar of cheers from hundreds of thousands erupted and spread wildly. Everyone at that moment was frantically shouting Xu Yang's name, because time and again, his judgments had astonished them all, proving to the world his unparalleled talent and supreme leadership.

"My heavens, Boss, you truly are a god! How could you even guess this?" Long Kun nearly knelt before Xu Yang in front of everyone, but he ultimately refrained, preserving his dignity. Nevertheless, his admiration for Xu Yang in his heart surpassed that for anyone else; he even felt he could sacrifice his life for Xu Yang. Xu Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, as if telling him to calm down.

"Brothers, it wasn't as hard to guess as you might think," Xu Yang began. "Since this place is already the very peak of Kunlun Summit, yet there are no traces of an immortal abode entrance nearby, it indicates that the entrances to the immortal abodes of the Six Veins Royal Families must be hidden within the laws governing this realm. Otherwise, the immense power of the Six Veins Royal Families, which represents the pinnacle of Kunlun's divine path and whose cultivation strength far surpasses any area outside Kunlun Mountain, would surely not escape my soul's detection if not for the concealment provided by the aura of celestial laws. However, along this journey, I sensed the surrounding aura more than once but found no trace of the Six Veins Royal Families' heritage, which was already enough to prove my earlier judgment correct. And in this place, the only location with a law-sealed aura is directly above our heads, meaning the secret can only be concealed behind the shifting clouds. Beyond the clouds is the starry sky, so naturally, the secret would be hidden right here."

As Xu Yang had explained, he possessed no so-called clairvoyance. Or rather, such an ability simply did not exist in this world. It was merely that Xu Yang's wisdom and his judgment of matters were a cut above everyone else's.

While everyone cheered for this discovery and accurate judgment, only Xiao Xiang, the one who had personally activated the inscription, fell silent.

Xu Yang, of course, understood why the young woman displayed such a crestfallen expression.

Essentially, she was a key figure in activating this inscription, and from another perspective, she was also the one who personally brought this calamity upon the Misty Rain Dynasty. She appeared to have become a traitor to her own royal family. Xu Yang approached Xiao Xiang with a calm expression and spoke to her softly.

"I understand your concerns," Xu Yang assured her. "I promise you this: as long as the cultivators within the Misty Rain Dynasty do not actively attack our team, I will not harm a single one of your people. Furthermore, our true purpose in entering the Misty Rain Royal Family's immortal abode is to find the source of their power to resist the will of the supreme god, and not to target your dynasty's forces. So, Xiao Xiang, you absolutely do not need to bear any psychological burden. Even if it truly comes to a moment of direct confrontation, I will minimize any internal losses to your royal family."

Xiao Xiang hesitated for only a brief moment before summoning her courage again, meeting Xu Yang's gaze directly. She offered a faint smile and nodded.

"Everything is up to you, Boss," she said. "Since I have joined your team, naturally, everything must prioritize your team's interests. Even though I was once a member of the Misty Rain Royal Family, I now have no other choice. You don't need to consider my emotions; just do what you must."
