Chapter 397: Half a Year of Calm
Mo Shan is dead!
As a natural demon clan with the Earth Demon Body, after colliding with Jiang Yun with pure strength, his entire bones and muscles were crushed by Jiang Yun’s punch!
No wonder Mo Shan stood there motionless all along, because he was already dead the moment Jiang Yun’s power entered his body, unable to move at all.
Jiang Yun’s full bodily strength was all inside Mo Shan’s body without any waste, exploding!
This result naturally made everyone present unable to accept and believe.
Especially the Samsara Sect disciples who were cheering just a moment ago, now staring blankly at Mo Shan’s body that could hardly be considered a corpse, just a piece of skin, their minds blank.
When they snapped out of it, these people suddenly turned around, rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed.
They knew they were weaker than Mo Shan, who died from just one punch by Jiang Yun. So, they dared not stay any longer.
Even though the vortex above Jiang Yun’s head was mesmerizing, their own lives were more important than the vortex.
With the Samsara Sect leaving, the others naturally dared not stay any longer.
Some cultivators still held a glimmer of hope, but after seeing Mo Shan’s body, they chose to leave.
Everyone started heading down the mountain, but then Jiang Yun suddenly spoke, "Taoist friend from the Grand Medicine Sect, if you wish, you can stay!"
There were only seven disciples from the Grand Medicine Sect, all of them pharmacists.
Despite witnessing Jiang Yun’s performance at the Drug Competition, they had no connection with him.
Even though they had a message from Elder Shen in their jade slips, none of them had the courage to stay by Jiang Yun’s side.
When Jiang Yun unexpectedly spoke up, the seven disciples stopped in their tracks, exchanging worried glances, unsure of his intentions.
Jiang Yun could tell what they were thinking, so he quickly said, "I promised Elder Shen of your sect that I will try my best to cooperate with you all! Of course, if you’re not willing, I won’t force you."
Jiang Yun also gave face to the Grand Medicine Sect. Even though Elder Shen asked him to take care of the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect, he intentionally said it as cooperation.
After saying that, Jiang Yun ignored the seven people and checked Tang Yi’s injuries. After confirming that he was not in mortal danger, he returned to his original position, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Although Jiang Yun indeed killed Mo Shan with one punch, shocking everyone, Mo Shan’s power was also extraordinary, at least causing him injuries.
However, instead of healing, he had more important things to do!
Apart from himself, the one who truly endured the force of Mo Shan’s punch was also his physical and Dao bodies!
It could be said that he divided Mo Shan’s power in two – he bore the physical force himself, while he handed the earth’s power to the physical and Dao bodies.
The purpose of doing this was to hope that the physical and Dao bodies could use the earth’s power to undergo a transformation.
So far, the only thing inside Jiang Yun’s body that has not condensed the Blessed Land was his physical and Dao bodies.
Originally, the power of the fleshly body path needed to complement Jiang Yun’s own fleshly body, but after seeing Mo Shan’s Earth Demon Body, Jiang Yun thought that maybe he could speed up this process.
As a result, his thoughts truly began to turn into reality.
After absorbing a large amount of Earth power, the fleshly body path actually triggered a trace of uncontrollable Earth power within Jiang Yun’s body.
Now, Jiang Yun wanted to truly integrate this trace of Earth power into his fleshly body path, allowing it to not only gather Blessed Land with the Earth power but also control it.
His own body was unable to achieve this, as he did not have a magic body, and his cultivation realm was only at the Blessed Land Realm. But if the fleshly body path could achieve it, then he would be able to control the Earth power as well.
As Jiang Yun closed his eyes to cultivate, the seven members of the Grand Medicine Sect hesitated briefly before finally gritting their teeth and choosing to leave!
Their influence was weak, so if they could find other fellow disciples willing to stay by Jiang Yun’s side, they would naturally be willing.
However, with only the seven of them, if Jiang Yun really had ill intentions towards them, he wouldn’t even need to act himself. The over ten disciples from the Seeking-Tao Sect could easily kill them without anyone noticing.
With the departure of the seven individuals, the mountaintop regained its peace, leaving only Jiang Yun and the people from the Seeking-Tao Sect.
Moreover, they believed that the escaped monks would tell their respective sects about the battle.
This might discourage the monks who wanted to continue pursuing the Jiang Yun whirlpool.
Sure enough, Jiang Yun and his group enjoyed another half year of peace.
During this half year, only disciples from the Seeking-Tao Sect came to the mountain, while disciples from other sects, even the Grand Medicine Sect, did not show up.
Currently, there were fifty-nine Seeking-Tao Sect disciples gathered around Jiang Yun!
Although there were some who hadn’t arrived yet, when counting those who had died, the number of survivors would be no more than ten!
Regardless, finding a large group, especially being with Jiang Yun, made the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples extremely excited.
Having been in this world for half a year, they were always on high alert, on the edge of life and death every day, exhausted both mentally and physically.
Even though there were no evil spirits to kill or life-affirming objects to obtain by Jiang Yun’s side, at least they were safe!
And during these six months, outside this mountain, the other sects also each had their own varying degrees of gains.
A total of thirteen people have formed vortexes!
Among them, the Samsara Sect, Grand Medicine Sect, and Ten Thousand Demons Cave each have two people, Ghostly Samsara Hell has one person, who is Gui Li.
The other sects combined have three people, while the Seeking-Tao Sect also has three people!
Aside from Jiang Yun and Unwounded, Fang Yuxuan also unexpectedly formed a vortex!
However, as more and more people form vortexes, life becomes even harder for those who haven’t formed one.
Because the spirit energy is decreasing significantly, to the point where some people have to start using elixirs to replenish it!
If this trend continues, not only will they fail to form vortexes, but they may not even be able to survive.
Just then, the vague voice that had been missing for six months spoke again, "I forgot to tell you, each person who forms a vortex can take a certain number of people with them out of this realm, based on the size of their vortex."
"Also, if you feel like you don’t have enough spirit energy, team up to kill the one with the vortex, which can turn the vortex back into spirit energy!"
As the voice fell, countless eyes immediately turned towards the huge vortex on the top of the distant mountain.
Sitting cross-legged under the vortex, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "Half a year of peace is enough!"
Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there was a glimpse of endless… sea!
