Chapter 73: The Road Lies Beneath Our Feet

en Jiang Yun and the Xia family. Because besides Xia Zhongwu, Jiang Yun has not killed anyone from the Xia family.Only Xia Zhongwu was not let go.Furthermore, he directly accused Xia Zhongwu of impris..."As I just said, Wufeng Mountain holds the essence of our sect within each peak. This essence is the source of our sect's greatest power."

"Wǔfēng, each peak has a treasure. Jiàn Dào Fēng's treasure is a Zhāntīan Sword. The requirement to enter the peak is to walk across this sword. Don't underestimate this sword, it is said that the ancestor of the sect once really used it to cleave the sky. Its sword qi and sword intent are surging, and even a random slash is incredibly sharp. Back then, I walked across nine tenths of the sword body."

“The treasure of Běishòu Fēng is a phantom beast map. The requirement to enter the peak is naturally to pass through this map. The map is a world of its own, containing countless ferocious beasts, and even demon beasts. Demon beasts are a level higher than ferocious beasts, equivalent to the Fǔdì Jìng realm among cultivators. Although the strength of the demon beasts is suppressed within it, it is still extremely dangerous.”

The treasure of Tianfu Peak is a Heavenly Soldier Talisman. Inside it resides a Heavenly Soldier, whose cultivation level remains equal to yours. However, the Heavenly Soldier is said to be a powerful being from another world, possessing extraordinary combat strength.

……

When Xuan Yuan was explaining the secrets of Wufeng to Jiang Yun in detail, Dao Tianyou turned his gaze to Gu Bulao and said, "You really think highly of this boy"

Gu Bulao said faintly, "It's not that I have high hopes for him, but the timing of his appearance in front of me is too coincidental. We probably don't have much time left, and besides, there's something on him that even you and I can't see through. So why not give him a try"

Dao Tianyou nodded thoughtfully, saying: "That's right. If he fails, so be it. But if he truly succeeds, for him, it's unclear whether it will be a blessing or a disaster!"

"Whether it's good fortune or misfortune, it's all his own choice. You and I needn't worry about it."

"That's what you say, but..." Tianyou slanted his eyes at Gu Bulao and said, "With his current strength, it's impossible for him to pass through the Five Peaks. Don't you plan on helping him"

Gu Bulao did not answer, but with a flick of his wrist, a golden orb the size of a palm suddenly appeared in his palm. Dao Tianyou's eyes immediately fixed on the orb, envy gleaming in them.

Gu Bulao ignored Dao Tianyou's gaze completely. After playing with the orb for a moment, he finally spoke: "Back then, after enduring countless hardships and narrowly escaping death, I finally obtained this Lei Ji Tianzhu. As a result, I was never able to use it myself. It's truly a pity to just let it sit there!"

"But!" Gu Bulao clasped his palm together, then opened it again. It was empty, the golden orb vanished: "The prerequisite is that he must be able to take the first step himself!"

"That's still beyond his capabilities!" Dao Tianyou reluctantly withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "With his current status and cultivation, without the help of outsiders, he wouldn't even know where to start, let alone take the first step!"

Gu Bulao closed his eyes and said, “The path is under your own feet!”

……

Ginger Cloud returned to his rebuilt cottage. He didn't cultivate or lie down, but sat quietly on the ground.

From Xuan Yuan's mouth, he had already learned about the secrets of each of the five peaks, and he clearly understood the difficulty of passing through all five peaks. Even though he now possessed strength far surpassing that of fellow cultivators of his level, it was absolutely impossible to achieve.

Although Dongfang Bo also offered some suggestions, such as seeking external aid like Fang Ruolin, who wore talismans, carried magical weapons, and had a spirit beast. In short, gathering as many things as possible that could enhance one's strength might offer a slight chance.

But where would you even find these external objects

Items like talismans, magic weapons, and spirit beasts are all incredibly valuable. Not to mention yourself, even most inner disciples would find it difficult to possess them.

"All I can do is refine some pills. With the help of the black stone, I can enhance their medicinal effects to the extreme. That's all there is."

"But alchemy requires ingredients, even though Big Brother Hei could provide them for me, I can't keep asking him endlessly!"

"In that case, there's only one way!"

In Jiang Yun's mind, Feng Wuji's celestial body, radiating with starlight, appeared. He clenched his fists tightly and declared, "Tenfold Meridian Opening!"

If I could also open the tenth meridian, even the eleventh and twelfth, then perhaps I could do it. After all, Master's requirement is for me to pass through the five peaks before reaching the Land of Blessedness.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun stood up and pushed the door open again, wanting to ask his eldest senior brother in more detail if there was any way to find power that didn't belong to this world.

When he arrived at Dongfang's residence, he unexpectedly discovered that Xuan Yuanxing and Situ Jing were also there.

It wouldn't even be surprising to see their arrival, they clearly anticipated it beforehand.

Jiang Yun bowed to the three of them, just as Dong Fangbo already smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, please sit down first, we have something to tell you."

After Ginger Cloud sat down, Dong Fangbo took out a ring and handed it to Ginger Cloud. "Ginger little brother, to be ashamed, the three of us don't really care about these worldly possessions on weekdays, especially me and your second senior sister, who almost never go out, so there isn't much good stuff on us. Most of the things in this ring are from your third senior brother. Take it!"

"Although the stuff inside isn't valuable, it could be of some help to you on your journey through Wufeng."

This statement stunned Jiang Yun. Looking at the storage ring before him, warmth filled his heart while a sourness crept into his nose, and mist began to gather in his eyes.

They weren't close to him, except for Dongfang Bo who he was slightly more familiar with. He had only spoken twice with Situ Jing and never interacted with Xuen Yuan Xing at all. However, they were treating him so well.

Although Gu Bulao hasn't officially taken Dongfang Bo and the other two as disciples, they already consider him their senior brother, their teacher, and even their family.

Therefore, they were also trying their best to help themselves get through the Five Peaks.

This ring's contents, perhaps truly aren't worth much, but this must be all they could offer.

Rubbing his nose, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said: "Big brother, second sister, third brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this!"

Situ Jing stepped forward, snatched the ring, and shoved it directly into Jiang Yun's hand. "Just take it! Why so much nonsense!"

Xuanyuan Xing also opened his mouth and said: "That's right, as long as you can successfully pass through the Five Peaks and become our junior brother, what does this matter"

Holding the ring, Jiang Yun dared not speak, nor even thank him. He feared that if he opened his mouth, tears would uncontrollably stream down his face.

But he knew that from then on, besides Jiangcun and Lu Xiaoyu, there were three more people he cared about in his heart.

"Alright!" Dou Xiangbo smiled, reaching out to gently pat Jiang Yun's shoulder. "As for the matter of venturing into Wufeng, what are your thoughts"

Jiang Yun also took a deep breath, carefully put away the ring, and after calming down her emotions, she spoke her thoughts: "I think, we should try to unblock the next three meridians!"
