The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

Chapter 172 - The Invisible Sphere

Dara summoned every strength he could muster within himself to stand up, before jumping with a brilliant and joyful smile as he grabbed the Diamond Gem;

Bam!

Dara's vision blurred the moment he touched the Diamond Link, but he was expecting it since he had willed the Link to take him to the final and strongest Qi Sensing Trial Phase…

The moment Dara arrived, he was greeted by a very shocking and surprising sight…

There in his front were four galactic bodies; the first was a planet; the second was a moon, the third was a sun and the fourth was a vortex of stars…

Without thinking too much about it, Dara knew he would have to choose one of these objects and if he got it right, then he would have picked a Primordial Realm Link; otherwise, he would have wasted the biggest opportunity ever presented to him in his life…

'Am I supposed to go for the one which would hurt the most; or the one where I come from; or the one that has the most numbers; or am I to simply pick the largest one?'

Dara was torn between which to pick and didn't even know how to pick…

But after realizing that his consciousness had begun to fade which signifies that the Qi that was meant to support his picking process was then getting exhausted, he looked to the sun;

'It is the largest and also the one that hurts the most…'

'But as for the stars, their sheer numbers is just too much and they can most likely outnumber the sun; moreover, they are also the first on the queue…'

At this point, his legs had begun to fade, as well as his head;

'Damn, I better just pick the stars instead, and live with the consequences…'

He thought to himself before approaching the stars, but on getting there, he figured out that all these celestial bodies seemed to be held in place by some mysterious force…

He moved closer and was just about to pick the stars when his vision picked up an invisible sphere just behind the stars…

.

He didn't see it because it was invisible, but he was only fortunate to see the outline of the sphere;

It was more like the way our eye can't see tiny grains of dirt, but when you put on your flashlight, then you see them fleeting across the flashlight beam;

Or how one can never see a single strand of cobweb in public, except the sun shines and the breeze shakes the web, which then reflect for a brief instant…

It was a similar phenomenon; the orb blended into the darkness, but he was just lucky that the starlight was able to shine on its borders just as he was walking over to the vortex of stars;

Then he lost his arm and one leg as he was fading like the way paper gets wet when it falls into a pool of water by the roadside…

Without caring about if he had chosen the right one or not, Dara fumbled his hand around until it touch one palm sized orb that instantly erupted with a magnetic suction force, and then;

~Swoosh!~

He was instantly sucked out of the dimension and dumped from a position half the height of the tree, but with two flips mid-air, he landed safely on the ground;

"Oi… Are you alright?"

"How did it go?"

Sam and Long dashed over to him with much more concern than they had when they were choosing their own Links…

Dara was still contemplating what the last invisible orb he had chosen was all about that he didn't really hear what the duo was saying but only knew that they had rushed over;

"Is he okay?" Sam asked when he realized Dara seemed to be in a trance;

"I don't know, but he seems fine… Let's just allow him to finish up with whatever is going on within his mind…"

Long advised, as they saw Dara move over to the base of his golden Dao Tree where he sat in a meditative posture;

One way or the other, something kept telling him that the way those Links behaved seemed to feel or look like techniques, and the first he was trying to comprehend was the magnetics aspect of the last Qi Sensing Trial…

"Oh, I get it… He seems to be comprehending something…"

Long added with his index finger pointed upwards in a manner that signified he just had a great idea…

"Eh?"

"Comprehending what exactly?"

Sam didn't know what it meant to be comprehending something; and whilst he did know what the sentence meant, he couldn't tell what Dara was comprehending;

'Was he taking the idea from the trials so as to understand how he could setup difficult trials in the future?'

"I don't know either, but let's give him all the space and time he can get…" Long replied as he placed his palm on Sam's shoulder and vanished instantaneously…

But whilst Dara was smoothly comprehending the brief enlightenment he had experienced within the Qi Sensing Trial, things weren't smooth at all within the Royal Court, and as a matter of fact, there were currently about fifteen Elders gathered within the Throne Room at this point and they were all having intensely heated arguments…

"Eh! So, because you managed to expose something fishy happening within the palace, you think that makes you qualified to take the throne!?" One Elder blurted in disdain;

"Hmph, and that is even ignoring the fact that, the King still ended up dying!?" Another roared as his beards kept trembling like waves on an ocean;

"What if this was all planned and there weren't really any expert trying to kill the King, but you guys simply used this one here as a distraction to do the King in!?"

On one side were ten elders looking and glaring dagger at the five people on the opposite sides; but unlike these ten elders, the other five elder were pretty calm and seemed to be contemplating something within their minds rather than engaging themselves in the ongoing bickering… 

These five elders were; Elder Bai and Elder Fei who were sent to search the other part of the palace; then Elder Du and Elder Dong who were both present throughout the battle; and finally, the Vice Captain of the Royal Guards; Mo who arrived near the conclusion of the battle…

They all sat there brooding the reason why there was a teleportation formation within the royal courtyard and why the King had kept the presence of Fu, Su and Cheng a secret…
