Chapter 742: Three Vortices

ving thought of this, Jiang Yun no longer dwelled on the matter and instead quickened his pace, continuing along his own route towards Wudao Tian.……Outside the mountain gate of Jianzong's outer sect,...Feeling the lock-on of this powerful divine sense, watching it shoot towards his finger like lightning, the only thought that crossed Jiang Yun's mind was that he had been deceived by Gu Luo.

He had already set up an ambush within Peach Blossom City and, leading himself into it, killed himself.

Although this divine consciousness and finger appeared too suddenly, Jiang Yun has always been cautious and would never easily believe Gu Luo. Therefore, he almost always remained on guard.

It's a pity that the blessing of Heavenly Power he gained from his celestial rituals has disappeared. Even with his true cultivation level, no matter how prepared he was, it would be impossible for him to withstand this strike.

Because this pointer, also comes from a Skyblessed Realm expert.

Even so, Jiang Yun was unwilling to sit still and wait for death. Since the Heavenly Sacrifice technique couldn't be used, and his full cultivation base couldn't withstand this finger strike, in desperation, he could only extend a finger of his own, aiming at the finger that was now mere inches away from his brow, and slashed through the air.

The art of Taoism, love separation sorrow!

With a single strike, he cut through the space before him!

For a fleeting moment, the space before Jiang Yun was momentarily duplicated, as if splitting into two. At the exact same time, Tian You's powerful finger landed directly on that overlapping space.

"Snap!"

With a crisp shattering sound, the space that had just been separated by Jiang Yun instantly crumbled and collapsed.

Of course, Jiang Yun finally successfully dodged the attack. At this moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

From the moment he was born until now, although he has repeatedly hovered on the brink of death, this time is absolutely the closest he has ever been to death in his entire life!

However, he had no time to rejoice now, instead turning his head abruptly towards Gu Luo, a lock soul incense appearing silently in his hand!

When I fought Gu Luo just now, he didn't use Soul-Locking Incense because he didn't intend to kill me.

But now, if it's really Gu Luo and other Heavenly Blessings experts who have colluded to set this near-fatal trap against me, then even if I risk encountering danger again, I must make Gu Luo pay the price!

However, to Jiang Yun's surprise, Gu Luo's face was also filled with shock and anger. His eyes blazed with intense killing intent, staring straight at the distant sky.

Looking at Gu Luo's expression, he didn't seem to be acting intentionally.

That means it wasn't planned with anyone else, and he didn't even know that a Heaven's Mandate expert would attack him the moment Jiang Yun entered the city gate.

This moved Jiang Yun's heart.

Although he didn't ignite the Soul Locking Incense, he completely released his divine sense to prevent any further sneak attacks.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Yun also noticed the situation inside Taoyuan City was completely different from what he had seen outside!

The most eye-catching thing in the entire Peach Blossom City was three huge whirlwinds, each at least ten thousand feet in size, arranged in a "pin" shape above the sky.

And at that moment, Gu Luo's gaze was fixed on one of the whirlpools.

The power within the vortex was no stranger to Jiang Yun, it was the power of an array formation that blocked his divine sense, preventing him from seeing what lay inside. However, Bai Ze told him: "Inside, there is nothing but pure sunlight and moonlight!"

The essence of the sun and moon, just like spiritual energy, is an indispensable element for demon cultivators to refine. Upon hearing this from Bai Ze, Jiang Yun suddenly came to a realization.

Before this, Liu Peng had already told him that there were several special teleportation arrays within Taoyuan City specifically designed to block poison gas.

Obviously, these three whirlpools are it!

Through the power of formations, toxins in spiritual energy or sunlight and moonlight are shielded, allowing cultivators to absorb pure energy.

Moreover, the area of these three vortexes is so vast that one can easily tell they belong to the three major forces within the city.

Looking at the three whirlpools, not only did Jiang Yun understand that the three Heavenly Protectors were all demon clan members, but an idea also suddenly popped into his mind.

If I were to enter this vortex myself, perhaps I could figure out the arrangement of its formations.

Then, one can completely set up a similar space in their own cultivation grounds!

However, he shook his head again because this method was still a temporary fix.

Even though the absorbed spiritual energy is free of poison, unless one remains constantly within the formation's protection, as soon as they leave, the poison will still seep into their body through their skin and various parts.

Then, Jian Yun's eyes lit up again.

If one could set up a barrier of magical protection on their body to ward off toxins, wouldn't that completely cut off the intrusion of poison!

Upon Ginger Cloud's body, there were two seals. This was something unimaginable to others, but it was true.

And seals and formations, are actually similar in principle. So since one can set up a seal, one should naturally also be able to set up a formation!

At this moment, Ginger Cloud's heart was unusually excited.

Although this is just an idea and not yet a reality, at least it gives me one more way to deal with poison gas.

If successful, it will permanently and completely eliminate the intrusion of toxic gas.

Just then, Gu Luo's voice finally sounded: "I'm sorry, old friend, I startled you just now. Please follow me for a moment, and I'll explain everything to you!"

As soon as he spoke, Gu Luo didn't give Jiang Yun a chance to respond. With a wave of his sleeve, he instantly took Jiang Yun away from the city gate and shot up into the sky towards the vortex he had been staring at just now.

Although Gu Luo had remained silent just now, Jiang Yun knew that he must have already communicated with the person who had attacked him through divine sense.

Now he should be taking himself to where that person is.

To Gingercloud's surprise, Huǒniǎo was also brought along by Gǔluó, just like himself. This made Gingercloud wonder in his heart, could it be that Gǔluó not only needed his help, but also the assistance of this Huǒniǎo

At this moment, the firebird's eyes were clearly filled with fanaticism and excitement, and even the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from its throat.

For this kind of expression from the Firebird, Ginger Cloud was all too familiar with it. It had found something delicious!

As this thought emerged, Jiang Yun's mind lit up, and he suddenly understood where he was going now, and who had just attacked him!

Paulownia tree!

As it turns out, one of the three Heaven-Protecting powerhouses of Taoyuan City is actually the Fuso Tree!

No wonder the Firebird coveted the leaves of the Fusang tree, but it didn't dare to come. Because this Fusang tree not only became a demon like it, but also cultivated to the Heavenly Blessing Realm.

Although Huǒniǎo certainly has other means, allowing its power to exceed the Dào Líng realm, Fūsāng shù is undoubtedly so as well.

Moreover, the gap in cultivation realms meant that the Firebird was simply no match for the Suzaku tree!

As the past faded, Jian Yun's eyes blurred, and she suddenly found herself in a room.

An elderly man, his face a map of wrinkles like weathered wood, sat behind a square table, leisurely sipping tea.

And the color of that tea was a crimson red, like blood, and it carried with it a cool breath.

The old man didn't react at all to the appearances of Ginger Cloud and Ancient Luo, not even raising an eyelid.

On the contrary, the firebird's gaze was fixed on the teacup in the old man's hand, constantly swallowing its saliva.

Seeing everything clearly, Jiang Yun, along with the feeling of demonic energy emanating from the old man's body, allowed him to judge clearly that inside the teacup should be leaves from the Fushang tree.

The identity of this old man is, of course, the Suzaku Tree Demon!

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novels Networkd wasn't slow. From appearing to leaving, it only took a few breaths of time. However, because of the commotion he caused, those few breaths felt like months or even years to everyone!And as the figur...
