sly muttering complaints under their breath."One rotation of the year is over, and it's not even half time yet. How can I possibly get through the rest of the days!""Yeah, our so-called patrol here is...At this moment, Ginger Cloud was fully channeling the Dao Ruins Qi to counter the Heavenly Divination Sword. He hadn't expected there to be a seal on the Heavenly Divination Sword itself.
Although he had already seen the azure light surging on the Heavenly Incantation Sword and felt the aura it emitted suddenly surge wildly, he was too late to dodge.
"Plop, plop, plop!"
Without warning, several sharp sword qi and a powerful force suddenly burst out from the vortex, plunging into the ruins of Dao and striking Jian Yun's body.
These sword qi were incredibly sharp. Even with Jiang Yun's powerful physique, he was as fragile as tofu under the sword qi, pierced through easily and left with dozens of bloody wounds.
That powerful force slammed into his chest, making him feel as if he had been hit by a mountain. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, within that mouthful of blood, there was a single drop that also pierced through the Dao Ruins, crossing over the azure radiance emitted by the Heavenly Mandate Sword and splattering onto the blade itself! "Buzz!"
The Heavenly Incantation Sword trembled violently, as if struck hard. The faint blue glow that had just appeared on its blade instantly dimmed once more.
And that surging breath, too, subsided like a withdrawal of troops, weakening once more.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Looking at the Tianji Sword, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said, "It seems that this sword has never fully unleashed its power."
"If I'm not mistaken, Kena's sword should have a seal on it. The person who wielded the sword just now saw that they were at an impasse with me, so they released the seal, which caused their power to surge."
"Fortunately, my blood can exert a suppressing power over it. However, I don't know to what extent it can suppress it, and whether there is still a seal within the sword!"
"But, no matter what, the opponent's strength far surpasses mine. Even if my blood has an effect, I'm probably still no match for him!"
"Now we must find a way to stimulate the power of the Dao Ruins more!"
But, how to urge it on
The power of Dao Xu can be released to whatever extent Jiang Yun understands the Dao.
Though Ke Jiangyun first embarked on the path of cultivation and possesses a Primordial Heavenly Physique, on the grand Dao, he is like his mastery over various powers—multifaceted but lacking in depth.
At this very moment, within this Dao Ruins where one can only rely on the power of the great Dao to operate, Jiang Yun's inadequacy once again left him feeling powerless.
But now he had no time to improve his understanding of the Dao. He could only continue to urge his innate celestial body, condensing streaks of Dao patterns and charging them into the tomb, shaking those tombstones and releasing more Dao energy.
Just then, Ginger Cloud's face changed because the Heavenly Fortune Sword, which had just returned to calm, suddenly surged with blue light once more.
And this time, the brilliance was even more dazzling, covering a wider area, completely shrouding the underground world where the two realms' flowers were located.
Jian Yun's blood splashed onto the Tianji Sword, suppressing its power once more. This did not escape Tian Xiang's notice.
Although this also surprised him greatly, he didn't expect that even under the circumstances of breaking through one layer of seal on the Tianji Sword, the cultivators from the lower realm could still resist. However, he immediately and without hesitation opened the second layer of seal.
"Boom!"
Although Jiang Yun was prepared this time, his massive Annihilation Dao Body appeared, spreading its arms to shield him. However, the sword energy shot from the Tianji Sword was even stronger and more powerful.
Clearly visible, the body of Ji Mie Dao Ti was instantly covered in cracks. A blue light shone through the cracks, entering Jiang Yun's eyes.
"Boom!"
The Ecstasy Dao Body, having only persisted for a breath's time, exploded with a deafening roar. The overwhelming sword energy swept towards Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and played, the countless strands of qi in the Daoxu similarly surged into the sky, meeting these sword qi.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the midst of incessant explosions, although Jiang Yun had shattered a considerable amount of Dao Qi, there was still a portion of sword qi that pierced his body unscathed.
Jiang Yun's body was instantly covered in wounds, blood flowing profusely! Jiang Yun didn't even bother with his injuries, he just stared intently at the Tianji sword, which was still trembling slightly.
Every tremor of Tianji Sword's body would release a vast amount of sword qi, easily cleaving through the vortex of Dao energy.
Although a constant stream of spiritual energy still flowed into the vortex, mending the cracks, the rate of repair was now slower than the rate of destruction under the might of sword qi.
A vortex the size of ten thousand zhang was beginning to collapse gradually! A cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes. On his body, which possessed powerful regenerative abilities, the wounds that had been stabbed by sword qi and were already healing began to burst open all at once.
A torrent of blood gushed from the wound, not flowing but spraying outwards, gathering before Jiang Yun like a miniature sea. Looking at this crimson expanse, Jiang Yun spoke softly, "Blood Dao, wash this sword with blood!"
"Whoosh!"
The blood ocean surged toward the Heavenly Sign Sword immediately, and although many streaks of blood were shattered by sword qi during its approach, it still enveloped most of the Heavenly Sign Sword's blade. With the suppression of Ginger Cloud's fresh blood, the Heavenly Sign Sword once again returned to tranquility in an instant, even weaker than before. Only scattered sword qi was released from its surface.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Yun also urged a large amount of Dao Qi to rush into the vortex, making time to repair the cracks.
However, Jiang Yun knew that his own blood's suppression on this sword was only temporary. Who knew if there were still seals and power within the sword! Suddenly, Jiang Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right, although my understanding of the Dao is limited, my senior brothers and sisters, they are genuine cultivators of the Dao!"
Perhaps their path could awaken more of the Dao Ruins' power!
There are three treasures in the Dao. Those in the East are those who study the Dao, those in the South practice the Dao, and those in the West act according to the Dao. The insights of these three into the Dao certainly far surpass that of Jiang Yun.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun slowly closed his eyes and murmured: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother…" In Jiang Yun's voice, his divine sense completely spread out, permeating his own body, his own heart, his own Dao Spirit, to seek the breath of his three senior brothers and sisters, to comprehend their Dao! Because Dongfang Bo and the others, in order to break open the three seals that had always existed within Jiang Yun's body, helping Jiang Yun truly embark on the path of cultivation, each used their life to help Jiang Yun acquire a Dao Spirit, possess a Dao Heart, and open up his Dao Body.
Thus, this is equivalent to merging their lives with Jiang Yun's life, giving Jiang Yun four lives.
Naturally, through their years of cultivation, their comprehension of the Dao also resided within Ginger Cloud's body.
Now, Jiang Yun is going to use these realizations to attract more Dao Qi and further stimulate the power of the Dao Ruins.
Gradually, Jiang Yun's body began to tremble. His Dao Spirit emerged from within him, and his heart beat faster.
Three distinct energies, yet they gave Jiang Yun a feeling of incredible familiarity. They slowly drifted out from within Jiang Yun's body.
Even though Jiang Yun had his eyes closed, he seemed to be able to see his Dao Spirit transformed into a young man wearing a blue long robe. The ordinary face held a kind smile as it gazed at him.
And in the place of her own heart, a phantom figure also appeared.
She was a middle-aged beautiful woman with a smile on her face.
Especially behind his own body, there appeared a stout old man with white beard and full face of whiskers. He had a hearty smile on his face and nodded at him.
Looking at the three figures, tears streamed down Jiang Yun's tightly closed eyes, and he repeatedly muttered, "Big brother, second senior sister, third senior brother..."owing now was naturally not all of his divine consciousness.Ginger always does things low-key; it's impossible for her to reveal all her cards right away.What he needed to do right now was make it cry...
