Chapter 850: The Origin of the Jiang Clan

Although Nan Yunruo’s answer was a bit vague, it still gave Jiang Yun a hint of understanding.

Because Tianluo had said when Mirage appeared, to give himself another chance to see if he was the person he was looking for.

Putting the two together, Jiang Yun had a rough guess.

"The sacred object of the Jiang Clan and Tianluo, what they are looking for, should be the descendants of the Jiang Clan."

"And the role of the light emitted by Mirage is to sense whether there is Jiang Clan bloodline within living beings!"

"If they are not descendants of the Jiang Clan, the light entering their bodies will cause them great pain."

"If you are a descendant of the Jiang Clan, the light entering your body will not cause any discomfort."

"Therefore, when Jiang Gui saw that I was not affected at all by the light surrounding me, he could confirm that I am a descendant of the Jiang Clan."

"To find out if my guess is correct, we will have to see if Tianluo will continue to target me next!"

Jiang Yun knew very well that he was not a true descendant of the Jiang Clan, and there was no Jiang Clan blood in his body.

The reason why he was not affected by the light was probably because of the scars left on him by his grandfather!

"However, we should not completely trust Jiang Gui’s words and background!"

"Although he did help me the first three times, this time, by causing Mirage to appear, he actually harmed me instead!"

"While Mirage’s appearance may help him determine if I am truly a descendant of the Jiang Clan, it will also let Tianluo know!"

"Tianluo searching for the descendants of the Jiang Clan cannot be for good intentions, and Jiang Gui must be aware of this, but he still chose to do so, exposing my identity and putting me in danger…"

"Of course, it might just be me worrying too much. Maybe Jiang Gui saw Tianluo trying to kill me, and in a rush, he had to use Mirage to help me escape this danger!"

While Jiang Yun was lost in thought, in a row of buildings thousands of feet high on Tianluo Mountain, there was a very simple little hut.

Inside the hut sat a strong man, it was none other than Wu Ning who had brought Jiang Yun back to Tianluo Sect at first.

At this moment, he too was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, muttering to himself, "The master once said that if there is any abnormality here, we must inform him. I just don’t know if, this time, it counts as abnormality?"

As the crack and Mirage disappeared, the entire Tianluo Realm and The Land of Fallen Realm finally returned to peace!

Through this experience, besides learning some answers and gaining more doubts, Jiang Yun also had an unexpected gain.

That is, the mountain-like finger inside him had astonishingly been eroded by one-tenth by the light of Mirage.

This meant that his cultivation had already recovered by twenty percent in total!

…

"Are we okay now?" Nan Yunruo looked at Jiang Yun, asking carefully.

"I don’t know!" Jiang Yun shook his head, expressionless.

Now, it has been three days since Mirage appeared.

These three days have been incredibly tough for Nan Yunruo, feeling like thirty years to her.

Constantly worrying if Luo Wenyan would suddenly reappear, fearing Tianluo might harm Jiang Yun again.

Yet, the three days passed without any trouble; Luo Wenyan didn’t show up, and Tianluo didn’t return.

It’s as if Tianluo completely forgot about Jiang Yun, forgetting his earlier threats to kill him.

Jiang Yun knew deep down that his suspicions were correct!

Under the glow of Mirage, he remained unaffected, leading Tianluo and Jiang Gui to believe he was a descendant of the Jiang Clan, the person they were looking for!

Or, in other words, he thought it was temporary, and he needed more evidence, he would wait until his cultivation reached the Tao Spiritual Realm!

But no matter what, before that, he naturally wouldn’t kill himself again.

He just wondered, once Tianluo realizes that the reason he didn’t feel pain when he appeared in Mirage was entirely because of the scars on his body, what would he feel.

For these three days, Jiang Yun was not in the mood to continue practicing, but was seriously thinking about his experiences after arriving in The Land of Fallen Realm!

Based on some clues he had obtained, he made a rough guess about the origins of the Jiang Clan.

The Jiang Clan is a group that emerged from The Land of Fallen Realm!

However, when they left, they left behind their clan’s sacred object, Mirage, and did not take it with them.

It seems that wanting to return to The Land of Fallen Realm is not an easy matter for them, so they established Jiang Demon Sky among the myriad Tao Worlds as their home.

One day, someone took his infant self to Jiang Demon Sky, found his grandfather Jiang Wanli, and entrusted him to raise himself.

So from that time on, Grandpa started a journey to the Mountain-Sea World with himself, Jiang Yuerou, and a group of people from the Jiang Clan.

And for some reason, after sixteen years, he noticed hundreds of scars on his body forming a special seal.

After turning sixteen, he left Jiang village to travel around until today when by chance, or maybe destiny, he arrived at The Land of Fallen Realm.

Back when the Jiang Clan was in The Land of Fallen Realm, they once saved a demon.

Now after many years, that demon has achieved great power and become a Tao Achieving Demon.

This Tao Achieving Demon is also a member of the Tianluo Sect and upon sensing the Jiang Clan’s aura on him, believed he was a descendant of the clan.

Out of gratitude, he secretly protected and helped him pass various tests.

Even when the Tianluo Sect wanted to harm him, the Tao Achieving Demon summoned the Jiang Clan’s sacred object, Mirage, to save him.

The two Mirages from the Mountain-Sea World and Tianluo Realm only have one thing in common – they both emit nine rays of light when they appear.

After experiencing them firsthand, Jiang Yun had a profound feeling about the effects of the two Mirages.

The Mirage in the Mountain-Sea World acts like a bridge, connecting the Mountain-Sea World and the body of the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast.

The Mirage in the Tianluo Realm possesses a terrifying power.

The faint light emitted by the partially revealed Mirage was so powerful that it destroyed a part of his finger just by touching it.

Despite consuming numerous elixirs and borrowing Luo Wenyan’s power, he could only manage to destroy a part of it.

However, the Mirage accomplished it with just a beam of light!

If the Mirage fully manifested, the light it emitted could easily destroy the entire finger in an instant!

"The true purpose of Tianluo should be coveting the Jiang Clan’s sacred object, Mirage!"

"However, since it is the sacred object of the Jiang Clan, only descendants of the Jiang Clan can obtain it. That’s why Tianluo is searching everywhere for the descendants of the Jiang Clan!"

"But why did Tianluo choose to search for a ‘talented’ ordinary person instead of looking for descendants of the Jiang Clan among cultivators?"

"And why did he give them a lot of elixirs to help them quickly reach the Tao Spiritual Realm before determining if they are truly descendants of the Jiang Clan?"

"Also, why did Tianluo initially think he was the person he was looking for, but changed his mind after summoning Su Yang?"

Apart from that, Jiang Yun was also puzzled by the Mountain-Sea World!

Whether it’s himself, the experiences he went through, or even the Desolate World tribe and the Jiang Clan, there are intricate connections with the Mountain-Sea World.

How many secrets are hidden in this world of the Desolate World?

"One Mountain, One Sea, One Tao World, it seems like it’s time to find that person named Lv Lun!"
