Chapter 551: Shadowy Figures

The sound of "Little Yun" made Jiang Yun, who was already moving mechanically, suddenly stop in his tracks. He stood there, his face showing a mix of shock and confusion.

Although the sound he just heard was too unclear for him to distinguish whose voice it was.

However, only the people of Jiang village would call him Little Yun, whether it was in the Mountain-Sea World or the Qing-zhu Desolate World!

But how could he hear the people of Jiang village calling his name in a place like this, which was a passage between worlds?

"Could it be that I’ve been walking in this eerie place for too long, so now I’m having auditory hallucinations?"

As this thought crossed Jiang Yun’s mind, his senses and hearing instantly heightened to the extreme, carefully searching for the source of the sound and if the same voice would reappear.

Unfortunately, all around was still endless darkness, as if there was no end in sight. Both Jiang Yun and Guan Yiming had been walking here for half a month, and they had not encountered a single soul, not even a breeze.

Moments passed, and there was complete silence in his ears, no sound at all. This made Jiang Yun chuckle and shake his head, about to take another step forward, but then another voice sounded, "Brother Yun!"

The sound of "Brother Yun," though still unclear, was like someone calling from a far distance, but it got scattered by a strong wind. However, Jiang Yun’s body trembled heavily.

This time, he recognized that it was Jiang Yuerou’s voice!

"Yuerou!"

As Jiang Yun spoke loudly, he suddenly turned around, looking behind him and all around, but there was still nothing.

"Brother Guan!"

Until then, Jiang Yun remembered that he should ask Guan Yiming if he heard the same voice.

If he did, then it wasn’t just his imagination.

However, when he turned back around and looked ahead, he was surprised to find that Guan Yiming, who had always been walking in front of him, was gone!

Even though he stopped, only a few moments had passed, and both of them were not walking fast. In that short time, Guan Yiming couldn’t have disappeared from his sight.

The strange changes made Jiang Yun’s eyes widen in surprise!

There are definitely strange things on this road!

In the next moment, Jiang Yun didn’t care about finding where the sound was coming from, but instead, he dashed forward.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yun had crossed almost a hundred miles, but the path ahead was still empty, causing him to stop once again.

Even if Guan Yiming was faster, and even if he intended to leave him behind, a burst of speed like this would surely catch up.

At this moment, Jiang Yun finally realized that he was separated from Guan Yiming!

"I’m not sure if this was done by someone or if it was the road itself, but all this happened when I heard the first call and stopped in my tracks!"

"Those two voices must be illusions, since Grandpa and the others are all in the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains. Even if not there, they could not possibly be here!"

"Since they are not real, then they must be illusions!"

"That means right now, I might still be in an illusion, so I can hear Yuerou’s voice but I can’t see Guan Yiming!"

Thinking this, Jiang Yun stopped walking and sat cross-legged right on the path!

Even though Jiang Yun doesn’t understand illusions, he at least knows that creating an illusion requires releasing some sort of power or energy.

Now, he wants to find out if he can sense the power or energy of the person casting illusions on him secretly.

To conserve energy and spiritual strength, Jiang Yun suppressed all his cultivation when entering this pathway, only displaying the strength of the first level of the Sky Reaching Realm.

But now, to confirm his theory, he finally generously activated all seven ancestral caves!

He even secretly formed hand seals, prepared to use the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens at any moment.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes, relying completely on his divine sense to sense everything around him.

A deathly silence, no wind, no light, and the only thing Jiang Yun could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat.

As his breath gradually faded away, even the sound of his heartbeat drifted further, making him feel like he was back in the Shadow Spirit World when his life fire extinguished.

If someone was watching Jiang Yun at that moment, they would notice that although his figure was still sitting there, it appeared blurry, blending into the darkness around him.

In this state, for Jiang Yun, time, space, everything, had all disappeared, leaving him alone in this endless void.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a ripple suddenly appeared in the darkness next to Jiang Yun, but quickly vanished.

Another period of time later, another ripple appeared beside him, but disappeared instantly as well.

Like this, every now and then, ripples would appear by his side, with the intervals getting shorter and more ripples appearing each time.

In the end, around him, it was like the surface of a lake being gently stirred by a breeze, with ripples appearing one after another continuously.

Looking around, one would realize that the area covered by these ripples was vast and endless, spreading far into the distance.

However, Jiang Yun remained seated with his eyes closed, seemingly unaware of the ripples appearing around him.

When the ripples seemed to be boiling, if Jiang Yun opened his eyes right now, he would see that there were not ripples at all, but distorted black shadows!

These shadows, when not moving, truly merged with the darkness, making them impossible to be noticed.

But now, due to the large number of shadows, they gradually started to reveal themselves.

Countless shadows, different in size, without facial features or limbs, constantly changing shapes, silently swirling and dancing around Jiang Yun, looking extremely eerie.

Finally, these shadows seemed tired of surrounding Jiang Yun and suddenly rushed towards his body all at once.

From afar, Jiang Yun’s figure was instantly surrounded by layers of countless black shadows.

At that moment, Jiang Yun’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the beams of light shooting out from them were like dazzling stars, instantly dispersing the darkness around.

"Got you!"

"Taoist spell, Love and Separation, endure!"

Jiang Yun suddenly reached out his hand like a knife and fiercely cut towards his own body!

In the next moment, Jiang Yun’s body abruptly separated from the surrounding countless shadows, but those shadows were oblivious, still gathering together to form a cross-legged figure.

At the same time, a sudden light shone in Jiang Yun’s eyes, and within this light, a picture appeared.

Although it was still dark, this darkness was not pure, as there were numerous hazy light clusters floating within it, resembling glowing eggs.

The number of light clusters seemed endless, extending to the end of sight.

This scene made Jiang Yun’s eyes widen in horror.

Because this sight was not unfamiliar to him; he had seen the same scene in a long dream not too long ago.
