Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Vast Wilderness of Mountains and Sea
h a stern face and an air of commanding presence. It was none other than the Eight Departments Heavenly Lord!Below the Eight Heavenly Lords, on either side sat four people each, naturally they were th...Reincarnationism!
Hearing these three words, Ginger Cloud's body trembled slightly, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes!
Although Ginger Cloud had never been to the Wheel Returning Sect, the name of this sect had long been deeply etched in his mind because his sworn enemy, Wind No Regret, was there.
As for the Wheel Turning Sect, Ginger Cloud originally knew nothing about it until he arrived at the Inquiry Dao Sect and learned some about the Wheel Turning Sect in the Sutra Repository.
The Lunhui Sect is located in Xishan Prefecture and, like the Wendaomen, is a sect dedicated to cultivation.
However, the Daozong sect only accepts disciples from the human race and absolutely will not accept disciples from other races. But the Lunhui sect has no such restrictions; as long as they favor a disciple, regardless of their race, they will take them into the sect.
This naturally led to a complex situation within the Reincarnation Sect, and competition for survival among disciples was extremely cruel and intense. Everything depended entirely on strength, and even killing fellow disciples was considered acceptable.
Although many sects view the Wheel Turning Sect's practices with disdain, they cannot deny that the disciples cultivated in such a chaotic environment are indeed stronger than those from other sects.
The strength of the Lunhui Sect naturally led to their arrogance and domineering behavior. Some cultivators who traveled outside would basically steer clear if they encountered disciples of the Lunhui Sect, and few dared to provoke them.
Jiang Yun really couldn't figure out why the Lunhui Sect would come to ask Daozong for something.
"Because of the one way street!"
"No way back"
"Hmm!" Dongfang Bo's expression remained grave as he gazed towards the southwest. "I think you should know, the world we live in is called the Shan Hai Realm! And the ground beneath our feet is actually just an island!"
"Shan Hai Jie!" Jiang Yun suddenly sat up from the bed, his face full of astonishment. "An island"
"An island, so vast and large that you can't even imagine it! This island is called Wushan, because there are five giant mountains on the island, named after the southeast, northwest, and center. Our sect resides on Nanshan Mountain, and outside this island lies an ocean, which we call Jie Hai!"
"The boundary sea is larger, divided into the inner and outer seas. It's boundless. Legend has it that as long as you can cross the boundary sea, you can reach another world—the Great Wilderness Realm!"
"However, the realm of the sea is fraught with danger. Even among the life that exists there, there are all sorts of incredibly powerful races, like the Sea Clan."
Throughout history, there have indeed been many powerful masters who set foot on the Sea of Boundaries, but most never returned. It is unknown whether they truly reached the Desolate Realm or perished within the Sea of Boundaries itself.
Dongfang Bo's tranquil narration unfolded before Jiang Yun like a grand and magnificent painting, making him feel as if he were gazing upon an enormous island dominated by five colossal mountains, surrounded by an endless expanse of ocean.
On one side lies the boundless expanse of the Sea, bordering the mythical land of Mountains and Seas. On the other, exists a world known as the Great Wilderness.
So, what is "No Way Out"
“This is a long story!” Dongfang Bo’s grave expression was now laced with worry: “Although it may seem like we live peacefully, in reality, all life on Wu Shan Island exists precariously on the edge of danger.”
These words made Jiang Yun even more confused, but he didn't ask. He knew Dongfang Bo's temper, since he had opened his mouth, he would definitely explain it in detail.
“Because of the Boundless Sea, it is gradually swallowing Five Mountain Island. Especially in recent millennia, the speed of swallowing has accelerated sharply. According to some powerful cultivators' calculations, it won't be long, maybe a thousand years, maybe a hundred years, or even maybe ten years, that the entire Five Mountain Island will be completely swallowed by the Boundless Sea. At that time, the entire Sea and Mountain Realm will have no mountains left, only seas.”
"Speaking of this, Dongfang Bo stopped and let out a long sigh before continuing, "If that day truly arrives, then not to mention ordinary people, even us cultivators, even the powerful ones at the Heaven's Gate Realm, I'm afraid we would all be hard-pressed to survive. For all life on Wushan Island, it would be a catastrophe!"
Jiang Yun's breathing became heavy. What Dongfang Bo said was something he had never heard of, nor could he imagine. But he knew Dongfang Bo wouldn't lie to him.
He never cared about death, but he did care about Mangshan and Jiangcun. He didn't want his loved ones to die in the Boundary Sea one day in the future.
"Isn't there any way to deal with this There are so many powerful people on Wushan Island, they definitely wouldn't just sit and wait for death, would they"
Dongfang Bo nodded and said, "In fact, thousands of years ago, the major clans on Wushan Island had already begun to seek solutions, and they had indeed found a feasible method. That was to open up a passage to the Great Wilderness Realm above the Boundary Sea!"
Ginger's heart skipped a beat. "The Road of No Return"
"Yes, the Path of No Return!" Dongfang Bo nodded again. "Opening the Path of No Return is a task only cultivators can accomplish, so every sect and powerful clan must send someone."
Although Gingercloud had never seen the ocean and didn't know how dangerous it was, he could imagine from Dongfangbo's simple description that opening a path to another world on its surface would be extremely difficult. But he still couldn't understand what this had to do with the arrival of the Reincarnation Sect.
"No Return Road, nine out of ten go and never return! No matter which sect or powerful family, once sent to the No Return Road, they are basically one-way. Over time, no one wants to go there. There is no choice but for major sects and powerful families to decide who goes by competition."
Jiang Yun frowned and said, "A competition"
“Well, all the influential clans on Wushan Island have a draw every five years, where they fight each other in pairs. The winner doesn't need to send anyone, but the loser must send someone to open an unreturnable road in the Sea of Boundaries. If they don't go, they will become public enemy number one for all cultivators. This time, the Wudao Sect drew against the Lunhui Sect!”
Jiang Yun finally understood. Although he knew opening the one-way road was a deed that would benefit billions of lives, few people could sacrifice their own lives for others. But the one-way road couldn't be left un-opened, so he could only use this method to forcefully send people there.
So this time, can we win
Tongfang Bo didn't answer immediately, but after a deep look at Jiang Yun, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible!"
"Can't we" Jiang Yun was taken aback. "We have Fang Yuxuan, Xiao Yishu, and the heads of each peak, aren't they all very powerful"
"Those who can participate in the competition can only be disciples of the Tongmai realm! And within the Wenda Sect, besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who is stronger than you in the Tongmai realm!" Dongfang Bo explained.
Context
Jiang Yun was startled for a moment, then quickly jumped up and said, "Then I'll go participate!"
Although Gingercloud had no real good feelings toward the entire Questioning Dao Sect, after all, he was a disciple of the Questioning Dao Sect. So at this time, he was still willing to stand up and fight for the Questioning Dao Sect.
However, Dong Fang Bo shook his head and said: "Originally, it was indeed yours. It's just that the agreement with Luan Hui Zong at the time was over twenty days later. Unexpectedly, Luan Hui Zong came early, and now your injuries haven't healed, and your realm hasn't stabilized completely. The disciples of Luan Hui Zong are also extremely ruthless, so you can't go!"
Jiang Yun still wanted to speak, but Dongfang Bo didn't give him a chance at all: "What's more, the Lunhui Sect has taken in a new disciple this time. His aptitude is against the heavens, known as the number one person in the Tongmai Realm. With him there, even if you were at your peak, you wouldn't be his opponent. Going would be pointless!"
"The first person in the meridian realm What's his name"
"Feng Wuji!"
