Chapter 91: The Strongest Prevail
's right, Fusangzi also found an assistant. After all, this journey is extremely dangerous. With one more helper, our chances of success will increase by a point."Gingercloud remained silent, walking...Today is the second day of the Zhāo Wǔ Fēng (Traversing Five Peaks) competition. Before even the temple bell within the sect had sounded, many disciples had already gathered at Tiān Fǔ Fēng (Heaven Talisman Peak), the air abuzz with excited chatter.
However, what the many disciples discussed was not about the Heavenly Rune Peak that was about to open, but about Jiang Yun.
Yesterday, the last scene of Jiang Yun appearing was truly breathtaking! I never expected that he would be the only one to pass through the Heaven-Severing Sword.
Now, no one should doubt his cultivation realm anymore. Even if he wasn't at the ninth level of Pulse Condensation half a year ago, he definitely is now.
"I heard from my senior brother in the inner sect that he made a move on the Zhantian Sword yesterday, but he didn't use a sword. That's really strange. He's not a swordsman, why would he go to Jian Dao Feng"
"Won't he be trying to anger Qi Fangyu and Wei Fengzhu By the way, I also heard that he seems to have snatched Wang Jian's sword too. Before that, he already took Zheng Yuan's sword. Could it be that he has a fetish for stealing other people's swords"
As people were talking and discussing amongst themselves, a series of shouts suddenly came from afar.
"Hi, Senior Brother Ginger Cloud!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Gingercloud!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly turned to look. Sure enough, they saw Jiang Yun walking slowly from afar, accompanied by the three members of Dongfang Bo.
Along the way, whenever he encountered disciples from within the sect, whether they were outer disciples or handymen, the vast majority would immediately bow to Jiang Yun with their fists clasped in a gesture of utmost respect.
Obviously, after yesterday's events at Jian Dao Peak, Jiang Yun has become a role model for many disciples, especially the handyman disciples.
Because, although yesterday Jiang Yun was shirtless, today he is wearing a servant's uniform. This shows that until now, he is still a servant disciple.
Junior attendants are the lowest rung of disciples in the Wenshen Sect. While they make up the largest group, they receive the worst treatment and have the most uncertain futures. Many of them simply go through the motions, making a living without any ambition.
However, the emergence of Ginger Cloud, another disciple of the lowest rank, inadvertently gave great confidence and encouragement to the other low-ranking disciples. Who says that low-ranking disciples are inferior!
For the endless bows from the many disciples surrounding him, Jiang Yun felt a little puzzled, even a bit uncomfortable. However, out of politeness, no matter who they were, he returned each bow, causing what should have been a short walk to take half a day.
The three men from the East, however, had long expected this. Whenever someone paid their respects to Jiang Yun, they would stop in their tracks, smile and gaze upon him with satisfaction.
In the world of cultivators, it is a world of survival of the fittest, where the strong are respected.
Ginger displayed sufficient strength, naturally earning enough respect.
It was no surprise that Jian Yun appeared. Everyone naturally assumed he was there to join in the festivities. By the time Jian Yun and his party reached the foot of Tianfu Peak, Lan Hua Zhao, the peak master, had already arrived in the sky above.
Compared to Wei Zhengyang, Lan Huazhao seemed much more amiable. With a smile on his face, he nodded at the numerous disciples below before speaking: "Please, Heavenly Soldier Talisman!"
As Lan Huazhao’s words fell, a surge of silver light suddenly erupted within Tianfu Peak, enveloping the entire mountain. Like the Zhantian Sword of Jian Dao Feng, it was a gigantic talisman phantom, suspended between heaven and earth. On it, countless silvery runes were clearly visible, intertwined in a complex and enigmatic manner.
All eyes turned to the celestial talisman. Even Jiang Yun was no exception. To be honest, he was also deeply interested in talismans. After all, he had already come into contact with three types of talismans: the Blast Talisman, the Divine Movement Talisman, and the Substitute Talisman.
The first one came from Fang Ruolin, although its attack power wasn't impressive, that was relative to him. The latter two talismans were of great help to him, even if it wasn't for the existence of Gu Bulao, he might have been willing to become Blue Huazhao's disciple and learn the art of talismanry.
Looking at those runes that twisted like serpents, Jiang Yun, as an outsider, could only watch in amusement. However, the disciples who pursued the Dao of talismans all had expressions of rapturous fascination on their faces.
Lan Huazhao stood in mid-air, arms akimbo, and smiled mischievously: "Alright, we'll have plenty of time to show you everything once we enter the Heavenly Soldier Talisman. Now, let's make haste and begin our ascent of my Tianfu Peak!"
A similarly illusory hundred-zhang fire snake shot out from Lan Huazhao's hand, instantly igniting the phantom of the Heavenly Soldier Talisman. As the flames raged, the surroundings of the ten-thousand-zhang Heavenly Soldier Talisman began to twist and turn, within which a blurry silver humanoid figure slowly emerged.
"What are you waiting for This talisman can only burn for an hour. As long as you can hold on until the end, even if it's a success!"
At Lan Huazhao's command once again, the group of people standing at the front of Tianfu Peak suddenly moved and rushed towards the burning Heavenly Soldier Talisman, disappearing into it.
That day, the phantom of the military talisman resembled a spatial artifact. Inside, it formed its own world.
After all the disciples rushed into the Heavenly Soldier Talisman, Jiang Yun also bowed to Dongfang Bo and the others: "Senior brothers and sisters, I'm going!"
"Go!" The three of them, including Tohoku Botan, nodded with smiles.
Jiang Yun strode through the crowd, walking towards the burning Tianbing Fu. This scene left all the surrounding disciples speechless and gasping in shock.
Not until Jiang Yun's figure completely disappeared into the talisman did the crowd come to their senses.
"He, he, is he still going to challenge the Tianfu Peak"
"He just finished conquering the Kendo Peak yesterday, and today he's going to conquer the Heavenly Seal Peak Is this possible"
"The sect rules don't say anything about not being able to challenge two peaks consecutively, but since our sect was founded, no one has ever heard of anyone challenging two peaks in a row!"
Indeed, when people venture into the Wǔfēng Mountains, they do so not only to become inner disciples but also to experience the profound Dao hidden within the five treasures. While each individual seeks a different Dao, they will inevitably choose only one and therefore will not attempt to conquer each peak separately.
However, Ginger Cloud's purpose was not these things. He only wanted to fulfill the ancient Not Old's conditions so that he could become a disciple of ancient Not Old.
Not to mention these disciples, even Lan Hua Zhao in the sky and everyone whose consciousness was currently focused on this place, including the one who was observing everything at present, were deeply shocked by Jiang Yun's actions.
What surprised him the most was Wei Zhengyang. His face was ever-changing, muttering to himself: "What does Gu Bulao and Dao Tianyou mean Why let this kid climb two peaks in a row If it's for fame, then his performance yesterday already achieved that, there is no need to climb Tianshu Peak again!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wei Zhengyang's mind like lightning, causing his face to change drastically. His gaze suddenly turned to the towering library on Jian Dao Peak below: "Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Wei Zhengyang could no longer sit still. His figure flashed and he immediately vanished from Jian Dao Peak.
"Haha! I knew they'd be surprised, that's why I didn't tell them!"
Meanwhile, Dao Tianyou at the summit of Zang Feng Peak, where he was still sitting with Gu Bulao, burst into laughter. His look of unrestrained joy made Gu Bulao shake his head slightly after giving him a silent glance and say, "If there's another chance, I won't protect you again!"
The sentence was like a hand clamping onto Dao Tianyou's neck, causing his laughter to abruptly cease. He stared wide-eyed at Gu Bulao, about to retort, when a roar suddenly echoed through the air.
This roar of anger was filled with majesty, echoing throughout the entire Wenda Zong, causing the five peaks to tremble and the clouds in the nine heavens to move!
Above the Tiān Fǔ Peak, a towering figure of ten thousand zhang suddenly appeared. He wore silver armor and radiated a silvery light, resembling a majestic heavenly soldier. That angry roar came from his mouth.
But now, everyone's gaze wasn't on the celestial soldiers, but all focused on the top of their heads, where a figure stood!
