594 Road of Brilliance! (1/2)

After briefly acclimating to the aftershock from the teleportation, as well as the surrounding environment, Kong Dao suddenly spoke.

”Baole, Yameng, I paid Yifan a visit a few days ago to transfer the eligibility to him, but he didn't want it…”

”Kong Dao, you're overthinking.” Wang Baole patted Kong Dao's shoulder as he shook his head and smiled. Wang Baole had also approached Zhuo Yifan regarding this matter, but Zhuo Yifan had rejected him as well. After all, he didn't take part in the trial, and even though Wang Baole had the right to decide who was eligible, it was an opportunity that was to be given to Kong Dao, without a doubt.

Upon hearing Wang Baole's words, Kong Dao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He then held his chin up high as he looked at the mountainous path in front of him together with Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng.

”This should be the Road of Brilliance mentioned by Elder Qiuran. I sense the aura of an array formation from it. It's very strong, but there is no danger!” Zhao Yameng looked intently at the path for a moment, then she spoke softly.

”I'll go first!” As soon as Zhao Yameng finished her sentence, a look of determination appeared in Kong Dao's eyes. He was thankful that Wang Baole had given him the opportunity and wanted to be the first to take on the unknown Road of Brilliance. This way, Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng could make preparations if there was any danger.

Therefore, as Kong Dao spoke, he went straight ahead and stepped onto the first step of the stairway even before Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng could stop him. When Kong Dao's foot landed, he trembled.

Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng went forward immediately and observed the situation intently. After waiting for fifteen minutes, just as both of them began to grow anxious and wanted to pull Kong Dao back, Kong Dao suddenly exhaled deeply.

”I saw imagery… It should be safe here.” As Kong Dao spoke, he continued walking forward. After taking a hundred steps, he trembled and stood where he was, motionless again.

Upon noticing that, Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng looked at each other and nodded. They then stepped onto the first step of the stairway together. Instantly, both of them trembled. It was at that moment that Wang Baole finally found out what Kong Dao had seen. He only felt that it was all a blur before him. It was as if an earthshaking transformation was happening in front of his eyes.

The black lightning in the firmament had disappeared and was replaced by the blue skies. The surrounding restrictions also vanished, and peaceful plains took their place. There were also birds flying in the air, and even the seven-peaked mountain looked less imposing. The mountain seemed to have shrunk and became a tiny hill.

A calm and peaceful feeling filled the air, making one feel relaxed. Wang Baole blinked several times and noticed a courtyard on the peak of the mountain he was at.

There was a well in the courtyard, and a large dog was lying lazily beside the well. A middle-aged man with an unusual air was sitting with his legs crossed as he caressed the dog's head. He was smiling at the two children who were hanging a plaque outside the gate of the courtyard.

The two children were very young but extremely agile. They didn't take long to hang the plaque on the door. Wang Baole immediately noticed the two words written on the plaque.

”Vast Expanse Courtyard.”

The imagery paused at that moment and faded away. Everything began to return to normal. The black lightning, the surrounding restrictions, and the imposing Seven Peak Palaces returned!

Wang Baole was silent for a moment. When he turned, he noticed that Zhao Yameng had opened her eyes as well.

”Is the Road of Brilliance showing us the history leading towards the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's rising…?” Zhao Yameng murmured softly, but she spoke the words that Wang Baole was thinking about as well. After that, the duo continued to advance forward.

Looking from a distance, one could see Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng standing in line, with Kong Dao a hundred steps in front of them. The trio looked like they were on an expedition to the top of the mountain, amidst the black lightning flashes and the surrounding restrictions.

A hundred steps later, the second imagery appeared in front of Wang Baole's eyes. There were clouds in the skies, and townships had been built on the vast plains. The hill had been transformed into a mountain that was standing tall, and the courtyard had turned into hundreds of buildings. Greenery complemented the appearance of the entire mountain, filling the entire place with a mystical aura.

The disciples there no longer consisted of the two children from the first imagery. They had swelled to tens of thousands of people who busied themselves, filling the entire place with bustling activity. The rays of the sun landed on the plaque hung on the entrance of the mountain.
