om Yaoshenzong, she couldn't help but press her wildly beating heart with her hand.Because the scene before them was too stimulating, it was a race against time between Jiang Yun and the bridge. They...For the vast majority of disciples within the Question Dao Sect, they were completely unaware that a competition had taken place between the Wheel Return Sect and the Question Dao Sect. The result of this competition would lead to the Question Dao Sect dispatching a group of cultivators to the Unreturning Path in three days' time. There was a very high probability that these cultivators would never return.

Naturally, they would not know that the world they lived in was about to face a catastrophic disaster. This was the consensus reached by the high-levels of all major sects and aristocratic families.

Sometimes, not knowing, is also a kind of happiness.

However, for Jiang Yun who had witnessed the entire competition with his own eyes and knew what was about to happen next, his heart remained unsettled.

Especially Feng Wuji's rapid increase in strength, which made the giant stone that had been slightly loosened in his heart once again become heavy.

To be honest, the astounding cultivation displayed by Tong Mai's tenfold state, along with the celestial power forming his Dao Body, deeply shocked Jiang Yun. It also ignited in him an even more urgent desire to become stronger.

And this thought, three days later when Lu Xiaoyu arrived, finally reached a peak, even almost bursting his head, his body.

"Brother Yun, I need to leave the Question Dao Sect for a while to complete a sect mission. I don't know how long it will take or where I'll be going, but don't worry. This time, I'm traveling with Master and over a hundred senior brothers and sisters, so there shouldn't be any danger."

"Besides, this was Master's initiative to propose to the Sect Leader. Because as long as we complete the mission, everyone will be able to receive a generous reward from the sect when we return."

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu's smiling face, Jiang Yun's heart felt as if it were pierced by thousands of swords. The pain was so intense that he almost cried out.

Lu Xiaoyu didn't know where to go, but Jiang Yun did!

There's no return from this path, ten out of nine don't come back!

As for why it was Sha Jing Shan who brought Lu Xiao Yu and a group of disciples to the Road of No Return, Jiang Yun was equally clear.

It was because of Wei Zhengyang, or rather, because of himself!

Wei Zhengyang still couldn't bring himself to harm others, but he finally set his sights on Sha Jing Shan and Lu Xiao Yu. He must have used some insidious means to force Sha Jing Shan to take Lu Xiao Yu and the others to a no-return path.

Otherwise, as an elder, Sha Jing Shan would surely know the dangers of the Road to Nowhere and wouldn't voluntarily request to go there.

Although Gingercloud wanted to keep Lú Xiuyù, he also knew that with his own status and power, it was impossible.

Even Lian Shajing shan was no match for Wei Zhengyang, let alone himself.

Even if he could do it himself, without Sha Jingshan's protection, Lu Xiaoyu's situation within the sect would likely become even more dangerous. Sha Jingshan must have realized this, which is why he had to take Lu Xiaoyu with him.

"Cloud Gege, I have a pen here. It was left to me by my mother. I'm worried about losing it outside, so I'd like you to keep it for me."

"Yun Gege, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself and stay healthy. When I return, we will definitely become stronger. Then we won't have to worry about being bullied by others anymore."

Jiang Yun had never hated his own weakness and lowliness as he did at this moment. He couldn't even utter a word, only watching Lu Xiaoyu's gradually disappearing figure. His hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh, blood slowly flowing from his palms.

"Wei Zhengyang, in this life and the next, I will surely kill you!"

Jiang Yun dashed out of the chamber and arrived at Dongfang Bo's room: "Senior Brother, can you take me to see the Sect Leader"

Dongfang Bo watched as blood continuously dripped from the palms of Jiang Yun's hands. His eyes narrowed slightly, he nodded softly, and silently stood up and walked outside.

Standing before the ageless Gu Bulao, Jiang Yun’s knee bent in preparation to kneel. However, despite Gu Bulao's eternally closed eyes, he extended a hand and with a gentle wave of his arm, an unseen force supported Jiang Yun’s body, preventing him from kneeling.

"Why are you kneeling before me"

"I want to become your disciple!"

"Why do you want to be my disciple"

"I want to get stronger!"

Why do you want to become stronger

"I will protect the people I care about!"

After three rounds of questions and answers, Gu Bulao finally slowly opened his eyes, gazing at Jiang Yun with a steady look, no longer speaking.

Under Gu Bulao's gaze, Jiang Yun once again felt as if everything within him was being seen through. However, he didn't flinch at all, just standing there, waiting silently.

Dongfang Bo on the side opened his mouth several times wanting to speak, but looking at Gu Bulao and Jiang Yun, he ultimately didn't dare to open his mouth.

Not far away, Si Tu Jing and Xuan Yuan Xing had appeared at some point. They too stood there, their faces tense as they watched Gu Bulao and Jiang Yun.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still on the mountain peak. Everything was frozen, with only the five of them standing in silent contemplation.

Until after a long time, Gu Bulao finally spoke again: “My path and the path you pursue are incompatible. I cannot take you as my disciple!”

Although Ginger Cloud didn't understand what Gu Bulao meant, he didn't even know what path he was pursuing or why it conflicted with Gu Bulao's. However, his heart had grown cold by half.

However, Gu Bulao continued, “But since you are now standing before me, it means that there is still a karmic connection between us. Therefore, I can accept you as my disciple!”

Ginger's heart, which had just cooled down by half, suddenly became hot again. His expression brightened, and he was about to kneel again, but Gu Bulao waved his hand and said, "I have a condition. If you can fulfill it, I will take you as my disciple at that time, but if you cannot, we'll forget this ever happened."

Ginger hurriedly nodded and said, "Disciple will definitely do his best!"

"Before you enter the blessed land, conquer the Five Peaks!"

Wǔ Fēng is no stranger to Jiang Yun. It's a shortcut for all雜役 and outer disciples of Wèndào Sect to be promoted to inner disciples, which means choosing any mountain peak among the five peaks of Wèndào and passing through it based on their own strength.

Although Ginger Cloud had never crossed the peaks, he was full of confidence. However, Gu Bulao seemed to know what he was thinking and calmly said, "I'm talking about crossing all five peaks, not just one!"

“What!” Before Jiang Yun could speak, Xuan Yuan Xing in the distance couldn’t help but exclaim: “Master, Wudao Five Peaks, each peak is the foundation of our sect. The difficulty is so great that even those in the Fu Di Realm may not be able to pass through one peak. You let my younger brother Jiang clear all five peaks…”

"If you can't even get past Wufeng with this question, how can you talk about becoming stronger or cultivating your Dao"

After uttering this sentence, Gu Bulao closed his eyes, flicked his wide sleeve, and with a gust of wind, he vanished into thin air.

On the summit of a mountain, Jiang Yun turned to face Dongfang Bodao: "Senior brother, what exactly is crossing the Five Peaks"

"Eastern Bo Mian smiled bitterly and said, 'This, your Third Senior Brother has the most say. Back then, he went through each of the Five Peaks once, although all attempts failed, he at least gained some experience.'"

"Third Senior Brother's attempt to conquer the Five Peaks all failed!"

Ginger was stunned. Although he wasn't sure about his third senior brother's abilities, his third senior brother didn't even look down on Wei Zhengyang. He hadn't even been able to successfully pass the Five Peaks himself, so could he do it

Xuan Yuan sighed and said, “Come on, Brother Jiang, let me tell you about how difficult it really is to conquer the Five Peaks!”
