Chapter 668: A Conversation in the Mist

With many questions in his mind, Jiang Yun, relying on his memory of the way here, led the middle-aged man out of the city, finally feeling relieved.

Outside the city gate, the more than ten cultivators from The Great Wilderness and the elderly man from the Sky Blessed Realm were still standing there, not leaving.

However, having learned from their earlier mistake, they did not take any action but simply watched Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun ignored them, and carrying the middle-aged man, he walked back into the white mist.

Even though there may be strange things in this white mist, Jiang Yun felt that this place should be one of the safest places in The Great Wilderness Realm.

At this moment, the thick white mist had returned, making it impossible to see the cultivators who were in the mist.

Jiang Yun decided not to think about that, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man who was unconscious.

After a moment, Jiang Yun suddenly raised his hand, using chaotic power to input into the man’s body, suppressing the imprints, and using divine sense to invade the man’s soul, starting to search his memories.

Through the memory search, Jiang Yun saw all the memories of the middle-aged man, gaining a more detailed understanding of The Great Wilderness Realm.

The size of The Great Wilderness Realm is almost the same as the Mountain-Sea World, surrounded by thick white mist thousands of feet deep.

The function of this white mist, as Jiang Yun guessed, is to defend and seal cultivators above the Sky Blessed Realm.

In simple terms, the highest realm allowed in The Great Wilderness Realm is the Earth Protection Realm, unless you are willing to accept The Mark of the Desolate World Lord, similar to that Sky Blessed Realm old man.

The number of indigenous people in the entire Great Wilderness Realm is not very high.

In the beginning, there were only a few thousand people. After many years of growth, now there are hundreds of thousands of people.

Also, for some reason, their lives are generally not long, not beyond a thousand years!

This middle-aged man is named Yan Song, and he is a figure similar to a lord in this Wilderness City.

The reason he became a lord is because his family was among the original few thousand people and held a high position.

The indigenous people of The Great Wilderness Realm, each of them is automatically marked with The Mark of the Desolate World Lord when born.

Because of the special power of The Mark of the Desolate World Lord, these indigenous people become the rulers of the entire Great Wilderness Realm, and all outsiders become Desolate World Lord Slaves.

Over the countless years, there are also many cultivators from the Mountain-Sea World entering The Great Wilderness Realm. Just the number known by this middle-aged man is in the hundreds of thousands.

Of course, most of them came in the last ten years because of the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World.

It may sound like hundreds of thousands, but in the beginning, the Mountain-Sea World had tens of millions of living beings or even more.

Nowadays, although some creatures are still on No-Returning Road, even if they all safely reach The Great Wilderness Realm, their total number will not exceed one million at most.

The rest naturally all perished in the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World.

A great disaster that swallowed over ninety percent of the lives in the Mountain-Sea World!

Besides, Yan Song indeed has never seen the Desolate World Lord with his own eyes, not even knowing when that statue appeared.

This further convinced Jiang Yun that the appearance of Dao Yuanzhi’s statue was a malicious act by some people.

As for the strength of The Great Wilderness Realm cultivators, although they don’t need spirit qi and can perform various spells just by using imprints, there are differences in power level.

The standard for distinguishing is the number of imprints on their bodies.

Like Yan Song, his cultivation level in The Great Wilderness Realm is considered upper-middle class, equivalent to the Tao Spiritual Realm among cultivators.

After reading Yan Song’s memories, Jiang Yun still didn’t wake him up. Instead, he contemplated for a moment, walked out of the white fog again, and respectfully greeted the elderly Sky Blessed Realm man, saying, "Sir, may I have a conversation with you in the mist?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the old man was visibly surprised, but then he turned to look at the group of cultivators from The Great Wilderness, clearly needing their permission.

Jiang Yun’s expression turned serious, and he also looked at the group of people, saying, "Yan Song has already agreed to this!"

Hearing Jiang Yun mention Yan Song’s name, the group of people dared not object anymore. After exchanging glances, they all turned and walked into the city.

However, the old man from Sky Blessed Realm did not rush into the mist, but instead stood still, gazing deeply at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun calmly said, "Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to have a chat with you, sir."

In the end, the old man from Sky Blessed Realm took steps towards Jiang Yun.

As soon as his figure entered the mist, a muffled groan escaped his lips, indicating that his cultivation had been sealed.

Jiang Yun gestured for the old man to sit down and introduced himself, "I am Jiang Yun, the master of the Seeking-Tao Sect in Mountain-Sea World. May I know how to address you, sir?"

"Seeking-Tao Sect?"

The old man looked surprised, then he showed a look of reminiscence on his face before finally asking, "Who is Ren Kanghuan to you?"

Jiang Yun replied seriously, "Ren Kanghuan is the 33rd sect master of our sect, he passed away a thousand years ago. I am the 36th sect master!"

The old man nodded and with a bitter smile said, "A thousand years ago! It seems like most of the people I knew back then are no longer around."

Jiang Yun fell silent, realizing how much can change in a thousand years. He didn’t know how to comfort the old man.

With a sigh, the old man continued, "My name is Zuo Haochen, a wandering cultivator. After arriving at the Earth Protection Realm, I became curious about the Boundary Sea and ventured in. Little did I know, I never returned."

Zuo Haochen’s words sparked something in Jiang Yun, "Did you breakthrough to the Sky Blessed Realm from The Great Wilderness Realm?"

Zuo Haochen nodded, "Yes, it seems you are aware that within the Mountain-Sea World, one cannot breakthrough to the Sky Blessed Realm. It can only be achieved in The Great Wilderness Realm without any interference."

"Perhaps this is the greatest thing I have gained here."

Initially puzzled by Zuo Haochen’s cultivation level, Jiang Yun now understood.

Turns out, not only Hai Changsheng and others couldn’t enter The Great Wilderness Realm, even the power of the heavens couldn’t affect The Great Wilderness Realm.

"Alright, you wanted to talk to me, but if you’re going to ask me about The Great Wilderness Realm, you might be disappointed because as you’ve heard, I’m just a servant of the Desolate World Lord, and I don’t know much about this place."

But Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "I already know most things about The Great Wilderness Realm, I just wanted to make a deal with the elder."

"What deal?"

"I’ll help the elder get rid of The Mark of the Desolate World Lord on his body, and the elder will help me protect the Seeking-Tao Sect!"

"What!"

Zuo Haochen suddenly looked up, eyes filled with disbelief, but then lowered his head and said, "Even if it’s removed, they can always mark me again at any time."

"I have a way to help the elder get rid of the mark forever!"

Zuo Haochen immediately stood up, eyes wide, staring at Jiang Yun and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"

Jiang Yun looked serious and said, "This is no joking matter!"

"I want to help you remove the mark, so you won’t suffer from it anymore. But you must make a blood oath, or else I can’t trust you!"

Zuo Haochen hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, saying, "If you can help me get rid of this awful mark, I’m willing to join your Seeking-Tao Sect, I’ll even protect it for you!"

As a powerful cultivator in the Sky Blessed Realm, Zuo Haochen was almost invincible in the Great Wilderness Realm. However, as a servant, he felt frustrated and unhappy about being manipulated. So, when Jiang Yun offered to help him remove the mark, he agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "It’s a deal!"
