nSeated upon Tutu, Tang Jie flew as fast as he could, and only after flying for a long distance and confirming that no one was giving chase did he stop.

nWiping his sweat, he said, “That was close!”

nXu Miaoran was startled by his reaction. “Was that some kind of Void Returning fiend?”

nTang Jie bitterly smiled. “If it were on the level of an Earth Immortal, I wouldn’t have been afraid.”

nTang Jie was already at Soul Projection, and he was also a body cultivator, so if he ran into an Earth Immortal, even if he couldn’t win, he could at least hold out for a while. He would no longer be so helpless like he was in his first encounter with Ye Yun, and with Tutu’s speed, he had an even better chance of escaping.

nXu Miaoran slightly paled. “Was it a True Immortal?”

n“Perhaps even stronger,” Tang Jie answered.

nXu Miaoran almost fainted.

nIn other words, a Boundless Gold Immortal? No wonder Tang Jie ran off so quickly.

n

n

nTang Jie shook his head. “It definitely couldn’t have been him.”

nOthers might know, but Tang Jie had a clear understanding of what had happened that day.

nWhen the Martial Lord had shattered the court with his axe, the Four Sages had all been engaged in combat against him. How could the Unbounded Immortal Elder be in his palace? Moreover, while that aura had been majestic, there was something odd about it. Tang Jie vaguely sensed that this being wasn’t as strong as its aura implied and seemed to be restricted by something.

nWhile he didn’t know that this being had had its physical body destroyed, having only Godhood and no Immortality, he instinctively noticed a problem.

nEven if he had known, Tang Jie wouldn’t have tried to fight this being. Even a Boundless Gold Immortal with only their Divine Soul left wasn’t something he could deal with. The Divine Soul of an Infant Tending expert was just a baby, and after Immortal Platform, this Divine Soul became just as strong as the original, and at Gold Immortal, it became even stronger than the original body. The original body was just a holding device. The greatest disadvantage of not having a body was that it was difficult to recover, and the second was that one had limits on one’s power.

nHaving escaped, Tang Jie looked back and suddenly sighed.

nHe knew that the Jadestone Alliance was probably finished.

nSince Reverend Whitestone had visited the Unbounded Palace before, he must have known that there was some terrifying existence here. That he would so proactively bring people here did not bode well.

nThat Gold Immortal existence was clearly imprisoned in the Unbounded Palace, and the severing of the Web of Fate was probably related to this. Now that people had gone in and thereby reconnected the web, its escape was only a matter of time.

nBut Tang Jie wasn’t worried about this. The Vast Wilderness Continent was a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and even a Boundless Gold Immortal couldn’t do as they pleased, let alone one whose strength had been affected. In any case, if the sky was falling, somebody would come to hold it up. Tang Jie couldn’t be bothered to think about it and went off to search for treasure.

nThe Court of Myriad Domains was very big. Since the Unbounded Palace was out of the question, he would just find another place.

nThe mysterious map of the court within his mind once more proved useful, and Tang Jie pointed ahead and said, “Let’s go over there.”

n“What’s over there?”

n“The residence of the Bejeweled Star Lord. This person was the best crafter of divine weapons in the Court of Myriad Domains, and his palace had numerous treasures, though I don’t know how many of them people have taken over the years.”

n“Sure, sure, let’s go take a look!” Xu Miaoran excitedly said, casting aside the danger of that Gold Immortal to the back of her mind. The two set off toward the Jewel Palace, Tang Jie also taking the opportunity to warn Yun Tianlan’s group to not approach the Unbounded Palace, as he suspected there was a Gold Immortal there.

nYun Tianlan was alarmed by this news, and he immediately ordered his group to turn around and leave. Thankfully, they didn’t run into that demon.

nMeanwhile, Tang Jie and Xu Miaoran flew toward the Jewel Palace.

nThe Jewel Palace was a highly-trafficked area of the Court of Myriad Domains. They saw quite a few cultivators flying in the same direction, and more and more powerful experts appeared as they drew closer.

nOn the outer edge, they mostly encountered Deification and Soul Projection experts, but now, Tang Jie was seeing more and more Immortal Platform experts.

nTang Jie felt a lot of pressure among such Titans, and he could only advance cautiously and avoid contact with others as much as possible to avoid conflict.

nBy the time he reached the Jewel Palace, he found that many cultivators had already gathered here, including large sects.

nIt turned out that the palaces of the court were not all open at once. Some had a waiting period before they opened up.

nThe Jewel Palace was one of these, which was why there were so many cultivators gathered outside of it.

nThe sight of several dozen Earth Immortals made Xu Miaoran’s blood run cold, and she whispered to Tang Jie, “Why don’t we go someplace else?”

n“No rush,” Tang Jie answered.

nThe more Tang Jie saw, the more composed he became. If there were several dozen Earth Immortals gathered here, it had to be for a reason, and he couldn’t let this opportunity pass by. Saʀᴄh th NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

nHe stood with Xu Miaoran and carefully examined the Jewel Palace.

nThe Jewel Palace consisted of 72 small palaces, all of them circled by an outer wall, which was what was keeping everyone out. This wall seemed simple, but it was actually the basis of a formation that covered the entire palace.

nSome impatient ones had tried to force their way through, but the formation had drawn down endless lightning that had pulverized them.

nCountless motes of light flashed on the walls, twinkling like the stars and bouncing around. Many powerhouses were gathered here, observing something.

nTang Jie went over, but a single glance at the wall left him dizzy.

nBut he also understood why so many people had gathered here.

nThe stars on the wall contained the secrets of some Great Dao. Through some method, someone had turned the Dao Runes into these stars and implanted them in the wall.

nThis was everyone’s first time seeing the Great Dao being manifested in such physical matter, so how could they not be attracted by it?

nThus, this wall was called the Wall of Dao Comprehension, and was considered the number one treasure of the Jewel Palace.

nAlas, while everyone wanted to comprehend the Dao from this wall, over the years, nobody had actually done it.

nAt times, a cultivator would shake their head and sigh, giving up for the time being and sitting on the side to rest.

nTang Jie took a few glances and found the light of the stars fascinating, and he was gradually drawn to the wall, transfixed before it.

nA yellow-robed man on the side saw this and advised, “Trying to comprehend this wall if you’re not strong enough will only hurt you. You could even end up damaging your soul and becoming unable to advance any further, so don’t try and look too much.”

nTang Jie thanked him, but he ignored the advice and continued to stare.

nThe man shook his head and sighed. “Another that doesn’t know his own strength.”

nThe other cultivators chuckled, clearly amused at Tang Jie’s reckless stubbornness. Didn’t he see that it was only Earth Immortals in front of this wall and that all the Violet Palace experts were keeping their distance? Since he refused to take their advice, they would soon have a show to watch.

nTang Jie didn’t care, continuing to focus on the starlight.

nThe Wall of Dao Comprehension was truly mystical, and Tang Jie felt like every point of starlight was bursting with supreme laws and truth. Though impossible to grasp, it was also impossible to resist their temptation.

nAfter watching for a while, he found his mind full of those stars. He knew that there were mysteries hidden within them, but he found it impossible to solve their secrets, leaving him vexed and annoyed. It was no wonder all those cultivators were gathered here, refusing to give up. This sort of feeling of going to a mountain of treasure and coming away empty-handed was truly excruciating.

nBeing caught between giving up and pressing on left them more and more frustrated.

nAs the frustration over being unable to understand grew, it built up in his chest, gradually taking on a physical form and beginning to rampage in his body. As his frustration made manifest barged here and there, each collision felt like a hammer striking his heart.

nBang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

nThis hammering grew louder and louder, heavier and heavier, as if countless Wang Juemies were pounding away at his body.

nFinally, Tang Jie reached his limit. Throwing up blood, he flew backward.

nHe then realized that he was still standing in front of the Jewel Palace, but his chest was now covered in blood, meaning that he really had thrown up blood.

nSome Earth Immortals looked at him and snorted in disdain.

nThe yellow-robed man from before sighed and said, “I told you not to be reckless, but you refused to listen. Only those of Immortal Platform can view this wall. The more you try to force it, the more serious your injuries will be. Seeing your injuries, it seems that you pushed yourself very hard indeed. Go to the side and rest. Once the Jewel Palace opens, we can look at it from the inside.”

nIt was hard to find such a kind-hearted cultivator in the Court of Myriad Domains. Tang Jie stood up and bowed. “Senior, thank you for your advice. This one knows his wrongs. But I’m fine and can continue.”

nThe yellow-robed man gave him a profound look. “As you wish.”

nTang Jie continued to gaze at the Wall of Dao Comprehension, but he was careful this time, adjusting his mindset before continuing his attempt.

nHe couldn’t help but wonder, given his cultivation, how he could have so easily been moved to anger and frustration. Why could gazing at this wall cause his frustration to manifest into physical form and injure him?

n

n

nWas it some trick of the wall itself?

nTang Jie felt like this conclusion was probably correct. The Wall of Dao Comprehension was most likely able to magnify one’s mental flaws, causing their emotions to grow out of control.

nWith this thought in mind, he looked at the others and found that those Earth Immortals were all grimacing. It was clear that these Immortal Platform Titans also had a tough time dealing with this wall’s challenges. But their Divine Souls were strong enough to better resist the negative effects, so they were able to last for longer. They also had a lot more experience with the wall, so when they found themselves reaching their limit, they immediately stopped, allowing them to avoid the serious injuries Tang Jie had suffered.

nIt was no wonder nobody had ever succeeded in comprehending this wall. Solving it required first understanding its trick.

nNow that he understood this principle, Tang Jie calmly began to observe the wall. Instead of trying to solve its secrets, he tried to understand how the wall worked.
