Another way to deal with it.
Jiangli's expression was solemn when the subject came up.
"What's the other way?" Yang Qing looked at Jiangli.
Jiangli was looking at him, too.
"Compared to taking his place, the method I'm about to describe is considerably more difficult."
"Since you don't want to become a god, but you don't want Emperor Zhetian to return to the Heavenly Realm either, your only choice is to destroy this Path to Heaven."
Destroying the Path to Heaven was easy to say, but far from easy to do.
After so many years of rises and falls, Emperor Zhetian had finally chosen Rosy Cloud Mountain as his route back. How could he possibly let someone destroy it halfway through?
"This is Emperor Zhetian's only way out. At the same time, it's yours, too."
Jiangli was right. Rosy Cloud Mountain was their only way out.
Only by severing this immortal path could they keep Emperor Zhetian's grand scheme from coming to fruition.
But where should they start?
"Generally speaking, severing an immortal path means finding what sets it apart and destroying it. This is known as breaking its aura."
An immortal path held immortal aura. Once that aura dispersed, there would no longer be an immortal path to speak of.
What they needed to figure out now was where that immortal aura lay.
"If we keep searching aimlessly, we might turn all of Rosy Cloud Mountain upside down and still find nothing. If we want somewhere to start, we must begin with what makes this mountain different."
Since Emperor Zhetian had chosen it, it had to possess something exceptional.
The Immortal Pool, for instance, or the Immortal Trace.
To Yang Qing and the others, Rosy Cloud Mountain was just a little dirt hill. Apart from its name, which practically
