728: Chapter 728 If there's no road, why don't we just build one?
"However, Revered Master, there is still a very big problem right now!"
Su Yun's expression turned solemn, and he said seriously:
"On this transparent platform we are currently on, there doesn't seem to be a path leading to the next stage!"
He had briefly investigated the surroundings just now.
Based on the familiar dao law patterns beneath his feet and the nine-colored Dao rhyme contained within them, he could determine that they were still on the Ancient Road to Immortality.
However, unlike before, this was not a series of transparent steps extending upward, but a very vast transparent platform.
Its area spanned roughly thousands of miles in radius.
Furthermore, other than the stone gate that had just teleported them here, there was nothing else.
Su Yun turned his head and asked directly, "Revered Master? Have you discovered anything?"
Meng Shuyan shook her head, "Hmm~ No! Revered Master hasn't discovered anything either!"
"Even Revered Master hasn't found any clues? It seems to be a bit troublesome!" Su Yun said thoughtfully.
"Yun'er..."
Meng Shuyan's delicate, rosy lips parted slightly as she murmured softly.
Su Yun: "Hmm? What is it, Revered Master?"
"It's nothing, Revered Master just wanted to say..."
"Don't worry, take your time. Revered Master believes you will definitely find the path to the next stage!"
As she spoke, Meng Shuyan's eyes were like water, looking straight at him, reflecting his figure in her gaze.
The tenderness contained in her eyes was soul-stirring, as if it could make one drown in it, unable to extricate themselves.
"Revered Master, that might not be the case! After all, this is the Ancient Road to Immortality, it's not that simple!"
Su Yun smiled and said modestly.
At this moment, he also noticed the change in Meng Shuyan's gaze.
He couldn't help but look a few more times.
After all, being looked at by his Revered Master with such gentle eyes, who could resist?
In any case, he was finding it a bit hard to resist!
"Yun'er~ don't be too modest. In Revered Master's heart, you are the best. If Revered Master says you can do it, then you can!"
Meng Shuyan's voice was soft and gentle. She blinked and smiled playfully.
"Even if you say so, I still don't have much of a clue right now. Oh well, I'd better investigate more carefully!"
Su Yun waved his hand and said helplessly.
He turned around, a faint misty light blossoming in his eyes as he looked around, "Eye of Sealing!"
The flow of various energies in the endless Void Realm around them,
the Power of the Heavenly Dao of the Haomiao Realm,
the chaotic Great Dao Powers,
as well as the complex and profound great dao patterns...
...
all emerged before his eyes.
At the same time, with a thought from Su Yun, his powerful Divine Sense surged like a tide toward every part of the transparent platform.
"Then Revered Master will help too!"
Meng Shuyan's red lips curled slightly. She extended her slender jade fingers, nimbly forming hand seals to cast a secret technique to investigate in all directions.
At this moment, colorful flowing light surfaced all over her body. Her light blue plain dress swayed gently, and her snow-white, jade-like skin became even more translucent, while she released an extremely ethereal and clear aura.
...
A moment later.
Su Yun finished his investigation. His brow furrowed slightly, and his expression became solemn.
He had thought that finding nothing earlier was because he had only done a rough scan.
And that there were actually details he had missed.
But after investigating carefully once more,
no matter what secret technique he used, the result was the same.
He couldn't find the path to the next stage at all!
Meng Shuyan also knitted her willow-like brows slightly; clearly, she had also found nothing.
The two of them spoke simultaneously in perfect harmony.
"Revered Master."
"Yun'er."
Su Yun: "You go first!"
Meng Shuyan: "You go first!"
"Alright then, I'll go first!" Su Yun nodded and said slowly, "I've investigated carefully several times, but I still can't find the path to the next stage!"
"Revered Master is the same!"
Meng Shuyan sighed softly and said.
"However, since there are no clues here... could the path to the next stage be related to the previous trial?
Could we have overlooked something when we cleared those spaces earlier?"
Immediately after, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she continued:
"Yun'er, Revered Master thought of a possibility! Perhaps those stone gates, which look like teleportation exits, actually hide the path to the next stage?"
Su Yun: "It's possible! Revered Master, let's go investigate!"
Immediately after, the two of them chose stone gates in different directions to investigate.
Before long, they returned to their starting point.
"Revered Master, these stone gates seem to have already lost their function!"
Su Yun spoke first.
"The stone gates on Revered Master's side are the same. Perhaps these stone gates really only served the single purpose of teleporting us here!"
Meng Shuyan felt a bit disappointed, "It seems the path to the next stage has little to do with the previous trial! Revered Master was overthinking it!"
"Is it really unrelated?"
A flash of spiritual light crossed Su Yun's mind, and he fell into deep thought.
Those spaces he had traversed before...
Was there anything that could possibly be related to this?
The various terrains?
No! That didn't have much to do with it!!!
The powerful Ancient Cultivators and the Cultivators of various races?
That's also wrong! This... also didn't seem to have much to do with it.
Wait, could it be...
While Su Yun was thinking, Meng Shuyan was not idle either.
She took light, silent steps, transforming into a streak of colorful light and vanishing from where she stood.
She tried flying in different directions.
But no matter which direction she flew, after reaching a certain distance, there was an unbreakable invisible wall blocking her from advancing further.
Soon, Meng Shuyan returned to Su Yun's side with a graceful flash of her body.
"Yun'er, flying directly won't allow us to leave this transparent platform either!
The surrounding Void Realm also harbors some kind of Heavenly Dao Restriction, so we cannot fly into the high skies here either."
"It seems that if we can't find the path to the next stage, we are basically completely trapped on this transparent platform."
"That's normal. This is probably a trial in itself; it wouldn't just let you fly away!"
A few breaths later, a sharp gleam flashed in Su Yun's eyes, "If we can't find the path to the next stage, maybe it's not because the path is well hidden, but because there is no path at all?"
"No path? And we can't fly away directly! Then how do we continue advancing toward the end of the ancient road?"
Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly with confusion.
"If there is no path, can't we just build one?"
A smile curled at the corner of Su Yun's lips.
At this very moment, the various clues in his mind connected.
He already had a bold guess!
"What? Build a path ourselves? How is that possible?
The surrounding Void Realm is filled with the Power of the Heavenly Dao of the Haomiao Realm. Unless one is an Immortal, it's impossible to forge a path!"
Immediately, Meng Shuyan's eyes sparkled, and she asked curiously:
"Could it be that you have a trump card with the power of the Immortal Realm, Yun'er?
One that is sufficient to forge a path within this Void Realm that contains the Power of the Heavenly Dao?"
