The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 1149: Shu’e and the Otherworld Heavenly Dao

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Shu’e and the Otherworld Heavenly Dao

Taoism Academy.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers stood guard in front of the array in the Technique Room.

It had been thirty minutes since Magnolia Hearne and the others left, but neither Scarlett Jennings nor Samuel Chalmers showed any intention of leaving.

Scarlett was flipping through another notebook left behind by Ashton Todd.

The notebook used a spell to prevent unauthorized peeking.

Conveniently, Scarlett was one of the authorized.

In the past two years, she had been busy cultivating her tails, prematurely finishing the Taoism Academy courses, while Ashton Todd, Stella Gibson, and Gregory Xander were busy in their respective domains.

Ashton Todd had intermittently recorded many notes on this array that connected to the Otherworld.

Most of it was his conception of using arrays left by Ghost Fog under Shu’e.

In his notebook, the array extending from the Boundary Breaking not only served as a barrier against impurities and seas but also connected two worlds through the void space of Boundary Breaking.

According to his vision, Boundary Breaking could open a stable channel connecting the two worlds, and even allow the two worlds to fully converge in certain areas.

Scarlett’s gaze lingered on this layer of conception for a long time before she couldn’t help asking Samuel,

"Do you remember what Grandmother said about the purpose of the Otherworld Heavens?"

Without waiting for him to respond, Scarlett started recounting what Emily Hearne had confessed to her back then.

"To replace this world’s Heavenly Dao, take over the entire world as the Heavenly Dao... and return everything to the origin, merging two parallel worlds into one."

Knowing this, Scarlett had been fiercely cultivating for the past two years to summon the Heavenly Dao earlier with her Ten-tailed Power.

She wanted to gain the power to contend with the Otherworld Heavens.

However, reading Ashton Todd’s notes, Scarlett had an ominous feeling creeping in her heart.

Samuel naturally recalled the discussions about the Otherworld Heavens and remembered saying he would stand by her. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Yet he didn’t understand why she brought this up now.

His gaze fell on the notebook in her hand, only to see Scarlett dispel the spell that shielded it from prying eyes using her magic before handing the notebook to him.

"The deans mentioned that Ashton Todd’s sensitivity to arrays and Barrier Techniques was unmatched by anyone else’s talent."

Even Scarlett could not compare to Ashton Todd in this area.

Thus, Scarlett had absolute trust and recognition of Ashton Todd’s extended conception regarding the array.

This meant that Ashton Todd’s conception might very well be the direction Boundary Breaking ultimately wanted to touch upon, although it hadn’t been realized then.

However, all the arrays, including Boundary Breaking, were obtained from Ghost Fog.

And behind Ghost Fog was Shu’e.

"When Addison was captured before, I asked her; regarding the Boundary Breaking array and other remnants, they were either provided by Shu’e or studied by the Evil Masters in Ghost Fog under Shu’e’s request."

Just hearing this, Samuel already understood Scarlett’s underlying concern,

"You think Shu’e’s ultimate goal aligns with the Otherworld Heavens?"

Scarlett nodded and then shook her head,

"Not just aligned, they might have had the same goal from the very beginning."

Scarlett never believed in coincidences, especially not such significant ones.

If it wasn’t a coincidence, then there was only one possibility left—

Shu’e had been allied with the Otherworld Heavens from the start.

Whether the Otherworld Heavens had collaborated with Shu’e, or Shu’e’s malevolence had invaded the heavens of the Otherworld, neither was good news.

The former might still be manageable, as they were entities from two worlds collaborating, and now that Shu’e was dead, their true adversary would only remain the Otherworld Heavens.

But if it were the latter...

"It implies Shu’e might not have died."

Or perhaps this world’s Shu’e was indeed slain, but in the Otherworld... there was another Shu’e.

Realizing this, Scarlett suddenly looked towards the direction of the array.

If this were true, the situation on the Otherworld side would be far worse than they had imagined.

As the thought arose in her mind, the array Scarlett initially used to contact Jasmine Hamilton suddenly lit up with spiritual light.

Without much hesitation, Scarlett got up and stepped into the array.

The next second, the figure of Magnolia Hearne appeared outside the array barrier.

Seeing Scarlett, her eyes were filled with joy, but without bothering to make small talk, she urgently said,

"Scarlett, something happened in the Otherworld; there’s no time to explain, we’ve already found Ashton Todd and the others, and we’re preparing to open the passage, you should assist."

Hearing this, Scarlett didn’t hesitate for a moment, activating the array and using her domain to pull on the red strings attached to Magnolia Hearne and the other three.

Soon, four arrays lit up with spiritual light.

Beyond the glow seemed another space.

The figures of Magnolia Hearne and the others appeared in unison outside the array barrier.

Knowing the Otherworld Heavens might have fused with Shu’e, none dared linger, and as per Ashton Todd’s request, they quickly gathered materials to reverse open the array, with Jasmine and Magnolia Hearne initiating it together.

As they watched the array light up, they only needed to step into the barrier to return to their original world, but unexpectedly, the Five-Colored, always held by Nathan White, suddenly broke free from his embrace and leaped outside the array.

Simultaneously, the red string originally tied around the porcelain doll’s waist was severed by Nathan.

Everyone was caught off guard, except for Scarlett outside the barrier, who seemed to sense something.

It was as if an indescribable premonition finally landed at that moment.

Listening to the Five-Colored,

"To break free from Shu’e’s binding and briefly reunite with you is delightful, but I won’t leave. Don’t worry, I’ll handle Shu’e in the Otherworld, and I won’t let it have a chance to continue colluding with the Otherworld Heavens..."

Although the body was that of a porcelain doll, with the Divine Soul infused, the doll’s body had long become agile to its will.

When Magnolia Hearne instinctively reached out to grab it, she couldn’t catch it.

Ashton Todd stood at the back, disregarded entering the array, and turned to pounce on the Five-Colored.

Yet, unexpectedly, he didn’t catch the Five-Colored, but instead plunged into a sudden space rift before him.

The black rift opened abruptly, catching everyone off guard.

The Five-Colored, Jasmine, and Greta almost instantly reacted, flashing towards the space rift.

However, in just that fleeting moment, the black space rift that swallowed Ashton Todd snapped shut and vanished.

"It’s the Otherworld Heavens!"

Jasmine, having a trace of the Power of Heavenly Path within her, was naturally most familiar with the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

But actually, it didn’t need her to say; in this world where such metaphysical elements shouldn’t exist, opening a space rift capable of swallowing people could only be achieved by the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Everything happened too abruptly, yet at this moment, Scarlett, standing within the array, witnessed it all clearly.

She already guessed the reason why the Five-Colored wanted to stay, and now she had a reason she couldn’t ignore too.

Her gaze shifted, and Scarlett looked through the spiritual light of the array towards Samuel outside the formation.

Without a word, Samuel instantly understood her intent.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the array and grabbed her hand.

"I’m coming with you."

No matter where she went, he would be by her side.

Even if facing the Otherworld Heavens.

Scarlett looked at the golden light so close at hand, and beneath the golden light, those deep black eyes. After a long moment, she looked at him and softly spoke,

"I know you’ll always accompany me, but this time, you can’t come with me."

She said, without waiting for his objection, she stepped forward and embraced him first.

Then she tiptoed and whispered something quickly into his ear.

Samuel froze, about to speak, when suddenly something soft and familiar pressed against his cheek.

Scarlett’s breath lingered at his ear; before he could hold her tightly in return, the next second, she used all her strength to push him out of the array.
