Chapter 583: Half a Foot Long or Short

At this moment, Jiang Yun was already deep underground, with a golden aura surrounding his body.

Naturally, this was the breath of Dao that his Master bestowed upon him when he first opened his meridians!

This breath of Dao could originally conceal his aura for a year, thus avoiding detection by the laws of heaven.

Jiang Yun had used it twice before, and now only a little remained.

Previously, he couldn’t move, and even with the breath of Dao, he couldn’t withstand the thunder sent by the laws of heaven.

But now, saved by Lu Ao, this breath of Dao finally came in handy.

After being thrown into the swamp, Jiang Yun exerted the last of his strength, using the breath of Dao, his body rapidly fused into the ground below, temporarily evading the pursuit of the laws of heaven.

However, Jiang Yun knew very well that relying on the breath of Dao for protection was not a long-term solution.

What’s more, this breath of Dao can only last for two months at most. Once the Dao breath disappears, the Heavenly Dao will detect his presence, and he will not escape then.

But right now, he can’t think about these things. The most important thing now is to quickly heal his injuries.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun closed his eyes and crossed his legs. Various injuries began to slowly heal under the powerful recovery power of his body.

While healing, Jiang Yun pondered constantly on how to escape the threat of the Heavenly Dao, and how to continue saving the Seeking-Tao Sect and the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains.

Besides wanting to kill him, the Heavenly Dao’s Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens should no longer have any effect in the Mountain-Sea World.

During the battle with Luo Qing earlier, he had used the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens, but despite sacrificing his vitality as an offering, his strength did not increase at all.

The Heavenly Dao would not generously bestow the Power of the Heavens upon him.

Although Jiang Yun only had the power of the seventh level of the Sky Reaching Realm, once he reached the pinnacle by using the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens, he could even contend with cultivators of the Earth Protection Realm. In the Mountain-Sea World, he could be considered a top powerhouse.

Without the assistance of the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens, his strength would naturally be affected.

Luckily, he still had the Taoist spell "The Anger of Seven Emotions", though it couldn’t compare to "The Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens", it was better than nothing.

While Jiang Yun was lost in thought, time passed slowly, and the heavenly manifestation above, unable to sense Jiang Yun’s presence, finally dispersed.

Three days later, a group of people appeared, including Xia Zhongxing and others.

They had already destroyed the teleportation array in South Star City, and now hurriedly arrived, deeply shocked by the scene before them.

Not to mention the once grand Luo family castle, even the mountain where the Luo family castle stood was now only half there.

Beneath the mountain, there appeared a bottomless abyss, a huge black hole that seemed to have been punched through the earth from above.

Because the appearance of the heavenly manifestation was only within the Luo family’s area, Xia Zhongxing and the others had no idea it was caused by divine intervention.

While others might believe this was the work of Jiang Yun, Xia Zhongxing refused to accept that.

Xia Zhongxing was at the ninth level of the Tao Spiritual Realm, and in his world, his grandfather was a strong figure in the Sky Blessed Realm. The immense destructive power before them was something even his grandfather couldn’t achieve, let alone Jiang Yun.

However, Xia Zhongxing didn’t tell anyone about this fact. Instead, he went into the cave by himself and came out the next day.

When he came out, he didn’t say a word. He left with everyone and headed to Seeking-Tao Sect.

After Xia Zhongxing and the others left, the place became completely quiet again. A month passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, deep in the earth, Jiang Yun finally opened his eyes.

His injuries had completely healed by now, but he still couldn’t figure out a way to hide from the heavens’ gaze!

Although he didn’t know the difference between the heavens turning evil and the world turning evil, or if there was any difference at all.

But as long as he was in the Mountain-Sea World, no matter how well he hid his presence, he probably couldn’t escape the heavens’ search.

Cultivators may go against the heavens, but without being powerful enough, they couldn’t challenge the heavens!

"From my current situation, there are only two ways to hide from the heavens. The first is to find my master. He must have a way to help me evade the heavens."

The best way to protect himself was to find a master, but Jiang Yun didn’t know where to find one. He was afraid that he might be killed by the forces of nature before finding a master.

"Another way is for me to try using my Demon Refiner identity to see if I can break the Tao Seal."

Honestly, Jiang Yun did not have much confidence in this method, but he had no other choice at this point. He had to give it a try.

Luckily, he still had hope because he had obtained the Against-Demon Bridge, which he could use to create a Demon Refining Pen.

Once the Demon Refining Pen was successfully made, if he used the Evil Suppression Seal, its power would increase significantly, possibly able to stop the impending disaster.

Even though the Against-Demon Bridge had been shortened to a hundred feet long, using it as a pen body was still impossible.

To avoid the forces of nature detecting the Against-Demon Bridge when it was taken out, Jiang Yun continued carving demonic patterns inside his elixir field, one after another.

The smaller the volume of the material, the harder it was to carve demonic patterns inside. Jiang Yun spent half a month shrinking the hundred-foot Against-Demon Bridge down to just one foot in size.

At this point, Jiang Yun felt that the spiritual energy around him was about to run out. He could only sustain himself for one more month at most, so he had to speed up.

Finally, after another half month passed, Against-Demon Bridge was finally condensed to half a foot in length.

Although still a bit long, no matter how hard Jiang Yun tried, he couldn’t carve another demonic pattern inside Against-Demon Bridge.

Obviously, this length had reached the limit of what he could condense.

Demonic patterns were not left all at once, and in the future, with increasing strength, he could continue to carve demonic patterns inside it. In short, the more demonic patterns, the better.

As he gazed at the Against-Demon Bridge in front of him, Jiang Yun was actually very satisfied in his heart.

"Half a foot is better than nothing. I just wonder how powerful this Against-Demon Bridge, as a body of the pen, can be. I’ve only carved nearly two hundred Taoist Demon patterns in it!"

When Jiang Yun was at Qing-zhu Desolate World, he was in a rush to return to Mountain-Sea World, so Blood Robe didn’t explain much about the Demon Refining Pen to him.

The Demon Refining Pen also had different grades, like elixirs, ranging from high to low, namely Heaven, Earth, Human, and Mortal.

The standard for classification was based on how many demonic patterns it contained.

A demonic pattern with less than nine is called low-grade.

More than nine but less than one hundred demonic patterns are called ordinary-grade.

Demonic patterns between one hundred and five hundred are called land-grade.

If there are more than five hundred demonic patterns, but less than one thousand, it is considered heaven-grade!

Of course, there are Demon Refining Pens with over a thousand demonic patterns, known as dao-grade.

Legend has it that since the birth of Demon Refiners, there has only been one dao-grade Demon Refining Pen even though demonic patterns can be continuously added to the pen.

Jiang Yun’s first Demon Refining Pen achieved the human-grade tier, making it unique.

With the body of the pen finally completed, the next step is to make the pen nib.

At this moment, Jiang Yun’s expression suddenly changed as he could feel his master’s bestowed dao aura about to dissipate.
