Chapter 148 Big 6 Dao Palace, Small 6 Dao Palace

Chapter 148 The Great Six Paths Palace, The Lesser Six Paths Hall

The Six Paths Palace?!

The moment the name was uttered, everyone was astonished.

Six!

The word "Tao" is not something that ordinary people can use.

How dare Zhu Ge name his faction the Six Paths Palace?

"My Six Paths Palace is located in the Six Paths Valley, which will become my sect's address in the future."

Zhu Ge said calmly, "My Six Paths Palace is divided into six directions: demons, ghosts, spirits, monsters, gods—and humans!"

"I am the master of the Six Paths Palace. I have several third-realm axe-wielding mantises and second-realm transformed demon beasts under my command, and I also have followers among spirits and gods."

"And among the human race, I will also establish the Six Paths Halls within the Great Six Paths Palace, divided into Martial, Immortal, Confucian, Craftsman, and..."

The six halls are for agriculture and commerce.

"Those who wish to join have two requirements. First, they must travel alone from Jianshui City northward to Liudao Valley within three days. At that time, the second requirement will be explained to everyone."

After finishing his sentence, Zhu Ge walked out, came to Ma Zhu's side, mounted his horse, and then slowly drove the horse towards the outside of the city.

However, the message he left behind immediately caused an uproar among everyone.

"What?! What?!"

"Did I hear that right? I, I, I—"

"A third realm! A mantis at the Devouring Essence Realm!"

"And he's already subdued so many demons, ghosts, monsters, and gods? That's incredible—"

"No, I need to think about it. I need to find a master!"

"That's right! I want to go too! This young master Zhu's martial arts must be incredibly powerful! I want to become his disciple!"

Cultivators of various realms shouted and yelled, venting their shock.

That was a being at the third realm of the Essence Devouring Realm, and Zhu Ge actually subdued him?!

If Zhu Ge had defeated the Fish Scale Pavilion Master effortlessly, the onlookers could understand.

After all, there is still a gap in strength between them.

There are differences between different realms.

There are also differences between the two realms.

Zhu Ge's martial arts heart beats like thunder, so it's reasonable that he could defeat the Fish Scale Pavilion Master.

It's important to understand that the Fish Scale Pavilion Master doesn't possess such a strong martial arts spirit; his strength lies in his experience and methods.

The problem is that everyone can see that Zhu Ge is also very experienced, obviously someone who has killed countless people, so it's normal for him to defeat the Fish Scale Pavilion Master.

However, no matter how strong the Fish Scale Pavilion Master is, he is still only at the second realm.

But that axe-wielding mantis is at the third realm!

A beast at the Devouring Essence Realm!

Zhu Ge actually managed to defeat the Axe-Mantis with the power of the Second Realm?

Not defeat, not kill, but subdue?!

Everyone knows that killing a monster is easy, but subduing it is not so simple.

They didn't know Liu Jianjian, nor did they know about the opportunity she obtained, the "Demon Hunting Divine Technique," so naturally they couldn't guess how Zhu Ge subdued her.

However, in the eyes of these people, if they want to subdue a monster that is a level higher than themselves, putting aside other things like intelligence and charm, at the very least, they must be extremely strong in terms of martial arts.

Moreover, it can't be just a little bit strong; it has to be extremely strong, so strong that the scythe is in despair, so strong that the scythe is willing to submit.

"It seems he really wasn't afraid of the city lord just now," sighed a martial arts school owner of the second realm.

"Indeed!" The old man beside him stroked his beard and laughed, "We all thought that Zhu Ge had a master of the third realm behind him, but who would have thought that he himself could fight against a master of the third realm."

"Indeed." The martial arts school owner shook his head. "It's a pity that Yu Bosha died. It would have been better if he had died from exhaustion on the battlefield than to be remembered with infamy for eternity."

The old man chuckled: "Yu Bosha has not broken through to the third realm for a long time, he must be afraid of death. Moreover, he has been holding the position of Jingzhe official and has amassed countless riches. He deserves to die, otherwise I would be ashamed to be associated with him."

"That's true." The martial arts school master nodded slightly, and the next moment he said to the disciple next to him, "Kong'er, go and prepare two hundred sets of leather inner armor and send them to the Six Paths Palace as a congratulatory gift from my martial arts school."

"Yes, Master." A young man bowed and replied, then turned and disappeared into the crowd with a few leaps.

The old man took out a piece of paper and a brush, and quickly wrote a few words, roughly meaning that he was preparing some congratulatory gifts to send over. After finishing writing, he flew away.

Besides these two, many onlookers made various arrangements.

The emergence of a new force means something that everyone knows.

In particular, the leader of this new force is a young man.

This young man possesses mysterious martial arts techniques, a mysterious background, as well as ambition and strength.

Such an existence holds immense appeal for people living in chaotic times.

So, before Zhu Ge even reached the city gate, the news had already spread throughout the entire city.

Countless people now know of Zhu Ge's existence.

Countless people also learned about Zhu Ge's actions.

He killed Yu Rui, killed Yu Bosha, destroyed the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, and replaced Yu Bosha as the new Jingzhe Official of Jianshui City.

They are capable, temperamental, wealthy, ambitious, and have a need to recruit influence.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

Not to mention those from certain regions, even ordinary people were attracted by this news.

Now that there are fewer monsters besieging the city, some herb gatherers and hunters are trying to leave the city.

The location of Zhuge Liudao Valley is not far.

Zhu Ge can arrive in just a few hours. It might take a little longer for an ordinary person, but three days would be enough.

This is also an opportunity that Zhuge gives to ordinary people.

Of course, Zhu Ge was unaware of the turmoil unfolding in Jianshui City at that time.

For him, knowing wouldn't matter.

Those scheming and despicable people have spent a great deal of time and energy on internal strife.

They are loyal to internal strife, loyal to extracting benefits from their own people, and loyal to finding loopholes in rules and regulations to benefit themselves.

Zhu Ge certainly wouldn't focus on them.

However, he also knew that there would be many, many people with lofty ideals and full of enthusiasm.

Therefore, these are the people he wants to recruit this time.

Of course, passion alone is not enough; one also needs to be alert, intelligent, or powerful.

The first step in the blessing ceremony will naturally be to filter out those who are not strong enough or not clever enough.

It's important to understand that the fact that the demons of Jianshui City are no longer besieging the city doesn't mean that the jungle is safe.

To safely reach the Six Paths Valley, one needs either intelligence or martial prowess.

The second challenge requires Hua Xiaomei's participation.

"Brother, I know the method you mentioned, but—won't it reduce the number of people we can recruit?" Hua Liusha asked curiously.

"No." Zhu Ge rode her horse out of the city, galloping all the way back to Six Paths Valley: "Little sister, this is what I think—"

Along the way, he used the [Stealth] trait to conceal his presence, while in his mind he explained to Hua Liusha the principle that a team should be of high quality rather than large in number, and that it is better to have fewer but better teams.

When they returned to the Six Paths Valley, Liu Jianjian was still cultivating.

This little hedgehog is really exhausted from this experience.

A large group of second-realm and third-realm mantises, whose cultivation levels were similar to hers, directly drained her demonic energy.

Upon reaching the mouth of the valley, Zhu Ge didn't rush in. Instead, he left two sentences on either side of the entrance: "If you want to reach the heavens in one step, take another path."

"Those who are afraid of death, do not enter my gate."
