Chapter 678: A Glimmer of Hope
Faced with Jiang Yun’s sincere gratitude, Mu Shaofeng felt a bit awkward and waved his hand, saying, "This is a trivial matter, nothing to fuss over."
"By the way, I didn’t finish my earlier words. The strength of that Boundary Patroller should at least be at the mid-stage of Dao Arch."
"However, when they descend to the Desolate World, they cannot fully unleash their complete cultivation because if they did, the Desolate World would not be able to withstand it, potentially leading to its collapse."
"If such a catastrophe were to occur, even for a Boundary Patroller, it would be a massive mistake. Therefore, they must suppress their strength, at most maintaining it at the later stages of the Sky Blessed Realm."
It has to be said, Mu Shaofeng’s words did give Jiang Yun a glimmer of hope.
If the Boundary Patroller were to come with their full power, Jiang Yun wouldn’t stand a chance.
But if the other side wants to suppress his cultivation, then the outcome may not be good.
Although reaching the later stage of the Sky Blessed Realm was beyond his reach, he had fought against strong individuals from the Sky Blessed Realm before.
If he could break through to the Tao Spiritual Realm before the Boundary Patroller arrived, along with the sacrificial method, and make some preparations, although it was impossible to kill the opponent, perhaps he could escape unscathed!
After all, the other side wanted to capture him and take him to the Dao Prison, not kill him.
In the following days, Jiang Yun continued to break through formations while Mu Shaofeng kept chattering in his ear.
Obviously, he had been trapped here for too long and finally met Jiang Yun, a person he could talk to, so he couldn’t stop talking.
Although Jiang Yun was a bit annoyed, he had to admit that Mu Shaofeng knew quite a lot of things.
From his words, he gained more understanding of other worlds.
Especially after learning about Jiang Yun’s plan to break through to the Tao Spiritual Realm, Mu Shaofeng gave him a lot of advice.
However, Mu Shaofeng never said why he came to Mountain-Sea World.
He only mentioned that he secretly entered Mountain-Sea World without Realm Master knowing, and has been trapped here for nearly a thousand years.
Luckily, within the ninth formation of the Nine Snow Loop Array, which is the innermost snow grave, time passes much slower compared to the outside world.
Also, Xue Mucheng didn’t really want to kill him. Otherwise, even if he eventually escaped, he would probably only have his Dao Spirit left.
Jiang Yun naturally didn’t ask about Mu Shaofeng’s purpose in coming to Mountain-Sea World.
Because there are too many secrets in this Mountain-Sea World, and his own strength is too weak now. Even if he knew, it wouldn’t benefit him but only add to his troubles.
And so, the two of them peacefully coexisted within the Nine Snow Loop Array.
Although the Nine Snow Loop Array was getting more difficult and complex with each formation, Jiang Yun calmly unraveled them, simplifying the complex with a method of going back to basics.
Even in this process, he continued to cultivate his own cultivation, getting closer and closer to the Tao Spiritual Realm.
Looking at Jiang Yun, honestly, Mu Shaofeng really admired him a lot.
Because if it were him, or anyone else, knowing that Dao God Temple was about to send someone to capture him, it would be impossible to stay so calm.
Not to mention sitting here breaking the formation calmly, he would probably be running around like a headless chicken, feeling anxious all day long.
In this state, Jiang Yun’s fast speed in breaking the formation also gave Mu Shaofeng hope of escaping.
In just one year, Jiang Yun successfully broke two small formations again, and now he is about to approach the fifth one.
Give him another three to five years, perhaps he could really break the entire Nine Snow Loop Array.
Right now, Mu Shaofeng just hopes that the Boundary Patroller from Dao God Temple can appear later, or even better, not show up at all.
Through more than a year of getting to know each other, they have developed a friendship.
Whether for himself or for Jiang Yun, he does not want Jiang Yun to be captured by Dao God Temple and sent to Dao Prison.
Unfortunately, many times, the bigger our hopes, the bigger our disappointments.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to step into the fifth formation, he and Mu Shaofeng both noticed that the sea water outside the Nine Snow Loop Array suddenly surged.
Right after that, a familiar voice came through the formation and reached Jiang Yun’s ears, "Jiang Yun, could you come out for a moment!"
Realm Master Wang Lin!
Wang Lin’s sudden visit surprised Jiang Yun a bit. He glanced at Mu Shaofeng, who shook his head and said, "He doesn’t even know I’m here."
Without saying much, Jiang Yun disappeared from the formation and appeared in front of Wang Lin.
Jiang Yun still had some good feelings towards Wang Lin.
After all, when they were in the Qing-zhu Desolate World, Wang Lin informed Jiang Yun about the Seeking-Tao Sect, allowing him to return in time.
However, despite the early arrival of the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World and Wang Lin’s deliberate reminder, Jiang Yun vaguely realized that Wang Lin might have some involvement in all this.
In other words, even though the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World was caused by Hai Changsheng, it was inevitable. But Wang Lin played a role in worsening the situation, causing Jiang Yun to lose his affection for him.
Wang Lin still looked ordinary, staring at Jiang Yun and bluntly saying, "My task is done, I will be leaving the Mountain-Sea World soon!"
"This is the last time I will help you, because you are about to face great danger!"
Jiang Yun remained silent, calmly watching him.
Wang Lin was a bit surprised by Jiang Yun’s reaction and asked, "Don’t you want to know about the great danger you are facing?"
Jiang Yun could already guess that Wang Lin wanted to talk about the Boundary Patroller’s matter. When Di Hong warned him before, he intentionally kept it from Wang Lin, so Wang Lin didn’t know that he was already aware.
Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Good fortune can turn into misfortune, and misfortune cannot be avoided!"
Wang Lin’s face showed a bitter smile as he said, "You and your master are truly an odd pair."
Then, Wang Lin stopped smiling and said seriously, "I don’t know if it’s because of you or your master, but the Dao God Temple has been provoked. Shortly, a Boundary Patroller will come to this realm to arrest you!"
As the ruler of the realm, Wang Lin shouldn’t have come to warn Jiang Yun, as it was a big mistake.
However, considering Jiang Yun’s master, and thinking about Jiang Yun’s own growth and potential.
Especially with Jiang Yun’s appearance, it has already changed the destiny of the Mountain-Sea World. If he gets captured by the Dao God Temple, it could lead to exposing Wang Lin’s negligence when investigated later.
Therefore, after thinking it through, Wang Lin decided to warn Jiang Yun.
Wang Lin thought that Jiang Yun might have a way to escape from being captured by the Dao God Temple, and even if not, he should be able to contact Gu Bulao.
Gu Bulao, who doesn’t even care about the Seeking Dao Sect and has a protective nature, will surely keep Jiang Yun safe.
Jiang Yun nodded and asked, "How long before he arrives?"
"Actually, he was supposed to come with the ancient demon clan last time, but had some last-minute matters to attend to. He’ll arrive within a year at the soonest, or three years at the latest."
"During this time, you should start planning ahead. Don’t try to confront the Boundary Patroller directly. Since no one is guarding the Mountain-Sea World during this time, you should know what to do!"
"Alright, that’s all I have to say. I’m leaving now. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
"Thank you!"
Even though Jiang Yun no longer liked Wang Lin, he couldn’t ignore the warning, so he still politely bowed.
As Wang Lin was about to leave, he casually glanced at the Nine Snow Loop Array, then turned and muttered to himself, "It wouldn’t be a bad choice to go to Seeking Dao Sect!"
