Chapter 339: Trapped in the Great Array

Bai Ze’s words made Jiang Yun jump in surprise, but after regaining his composure, he immediately shook his head and said, "It’s impossible. The Supreme Ancestor is the ancestor of the Grand Medicine Sect. If he were of the demon race, the Grand Medicine Sect, or his master, would have surely found out long ago."

"Even if his master doesn’t mind taking a disciple from the demon race, he should at least tell the sect master and elders of the Grand Medicine Sect about his true identity."

"Moreover, I don’t sense any trace of demonic energy on him at all! How could he possibly be a demon!"

Seeing Jiang Yun completely not believing him, Bai Ze couldn’t help but sneer and said, "Whether others have noticed it or not, I don’t know, but you have just entered the doors of the Demon Refiner, while that Supreme Ancestor has lived for at least a thousand years. He intentionally hides his demonic energy, something you couldn’t discover."

Jiang Yun still insisted on his opinion, saying, "Bai Ze, this time you must be mistaken. Although his attitude towards me is unfriendly, it’s because I took away the complete inheritance."

"Hmph!" Bai Ze’s voice suddenly raised, letting out a disdainful laugh, "Actually, the last time you entered the Refining Heaven Furnace, I already had my suspicions about him, but at that time I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t say anything."

"This time, I’m certain he has a problem!"

"Furthermore, I didn’t say he is already a demon. He should be similar to that kid Luo Lingxiao from the Luo family, a half-human and half-demon!"

Mentioning Luo Lingxiao, Jiang Yun actually remembered, furrowing his brow and asking, "Are you implying that the Supreme Ancestor also has a Demon Seed planted in him?"

"No, not a Demon Seed!"

Bai Ze shook his head and said, "Among the demon race, there is a special type of monster called a spirit demon."

"This kind of monster is not born from a specific group or from the heavens and earth, but is born from certain elixirs or magical treasures!"

"At first, they are spirits, but then they become monsters!"

"The most common is the item spirit, a good magical treasure that, when used for a long time, will develop spiritual awareness. Eventually, under certain circumstances, it might give rise to a monster!"

Jiang Yun stopped arguing, as even though he hadn’t seen an item spirit before, he had read many records about them in the Book Storage Pavilion of the Seeking-Tao Sect.

In the world of cultivators, magical treasures coming to life is a very common occurrence.

Especially for sword cultivators, their swords are most likely to develop spiritual awareness.

The more spiritual awareness an item spirit has, the greater power it can unleash.

Bai Ze continued, "The Refining Heaven Furnace is condensed from a corner of the world by the Medicine God."

"Inside, there are not only various herbs but also they are surely often used by the Medicine God to make medicine, which gives it spirituality, and over time, it becomes a monster!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun finally understood Bai Ze’s meaning, "So, you mean that Supreme Ancestor is actually the spirit of the Refining Heaven Furnace?"

"Yes, you can think of it that way! But there might be some differences because if he was just a regular spirit, I would have noticed."

Jiang Yun couldn’t help but shake his head again, "Bai Ze, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but listen to yourself; your words are contradicting."

"Sometimes you say he’s not human, then you mention he’s half-human, half-monster, then you talk about him being a spirit, and now you say he’s not a regular spirit…"

Bai Ze also felt frustrated, "It’s not that I am contradicting myself, it’s just that his situation is very unique. Let me think about it, and I’ll tell you later."

"But no matter what, he’s definitely not human. So, I want to remind you, whatever he asks you to do, think carefully. Maybe his true goal isn’t just about releasing your adoptive father!"

Jiang Yun fell silent.

Even though he didn’t always agree with Bai Ze, deep down, he knew Bai Ze wouldn’t lie to him.

He really doubted the Supreme Ancestor, so he kindly reminded himself.

However, Jiang Yun still had some doubts. If the Supreme Ancestor is really the item spirit of the Refining Heaven Furnace, then why hasn’t anyone from the Grand Medicine Sect discovered it after so many years?

Moreover, even if he is a monster, the things he said to himself and made him do were just to bring the Refining Heaven Furnace back to light.

It seems that this matter will not harm him.

Just then, a gust of wind sounded, and a middle-aged beautiful woman appeared beside Jiang Yun, who was the sister of the sect master of the Grand Medicine Sect, Mei Bugu – Mei Yuyao!

Jiang Yun temporarily restrained all his thoughts and respectfully bowed, saying, "Junior greets the sect master!"

Mei Yuyao nodded expressionlessly and said, "The Supreme Ancestor has already told me. I will now take you inside Furnace Peak."

As she said this, Mei Yuyao raised her hand, gently waved it, and suddenly a beam of light surged from beneath Jiang Yun’s feet, enveloping his body and pulling him directly into Furnace Peak.

Immediately after, Jiang Yun felt a sudden emptiness beneath his feet, as if he had turned into a stone falling from a height and continuously dropping downwards.

After falling for almost a quarter of an hour, he finally landed on the ground with his feet.

Just as he stood firm, Jiang Yun looked around.

At first glance, though Jiang Yun’s expression remained unchanged, his tone suddenly turned cold and said, "I wonder what the sect master’s intentions are for bringing me here?"

The place he found himself in was unexpectedly inside a formation!

Considering his expertise in formations, it was not difficult to infer that this formation was extremely complicated, and he couldn’t break it in a short time.

Mei Yuyao remained silent, staring at Jiang Yun for a moment before speaking, "First, you secretly learned the technique to activate medicinal properties, and later, you received the complete heritage of our Grand Medicine Sect. Do you think I will just let you leave like this?"

Jiang Yun understood Mei Yuyao’s intention well and replied coldly, "The complete heritage of the Medicine God was exchanged for by my adoptive father with his freedom for me. According to the rules of your sect, it seems like I haven’t done anything wrong!"

Mei Yuyao shook her head and said, "The only thing you did wrong was coming to my Grand Medicine Sect!"

Unperturbed, Jiang Yun asked, "I wonder how the sect master plans to deal with me? Will it be torture to extract information from me, to get the complete heritage, or will they use methods like soul searching?"

Although Jiang Yun knows Mei Yuyao won’t let him go, he is confident because he has a task given by the Supreme Ancestor.

Even if Mei Yuyao doesn’t care about her adoptive father, she definitely cares about the Supreme Ancestor, so she dares not kill Jiang Yun!

Sure enough, Mei Yuyao smiled slightly and said, "My sect has a good relationship with the Seeking-Tao Sect, and with the Supreme Ancestor backing you up, I won’t search your soul or kill you."

"If you don’t reveal the complete inheritance, from now on, you can only stay here forever."

"I know you understand formations, but the formation you’re in now is the Grand Medicine Sect’s protective formation."

"Even the top formation master in the Mountain-Sea World wouldn’t be able to break it without decades."

"As for breaking the formation by brute force, not to underestimate you, but even given a hundred years, you wouldn’t be able to do it!"

"In addition, I haven’t violated the Supreme Ancestor’s orders, and above your head is the Refining Heaven Furnace."

"Well, take your time to think here, whenever you figure it out, just shout out, and I’ll send someone over!"

"Don’t expect anyone else to come and save you. Besides me, no one knows you’re here!"

After saying this, Mei Yuyao suddenly disappeared, leaving Jiang Yun alone within the protective array of the Grand Medicine Sect!
