Chapter 683: Blooming Lotus Step by Step

Just as Jiang Yun started to be invaded by his inner demon, in the gaps between worlds, a silver sword about a yard long was cutting through endless darkness at a very fast speed.

At the tip of the sword, there sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, his legs crossed.

The man had a stern face, his eyes closed tightly, exuding a cold aura all over his body.

Suddenly, the swiftly moving sword came to a halt, and the man opened his eyes. Two gleams shot out from his eyes as he spoke loudly.

"I am Yue Qing, a Boundary Patroller under the Void Hall of the Dao God Temple. I have a task at hand. I don’t know which taoist friend has been following along. Please reveal yourself!"

After saying this, Yue Qing waited quietly for a moment, but there was complete silence all around, with no response at all.

A faint smirk appeared on his stern face, and he spoke again, "Since the taoist friend does not wish to show themselves, I won’t insist. Farewell then!"

As he finished speaking, the sword continued its journey, turning into a silver light and swiftly disappearing into the distance.

Yue Qing was on his way to the Mountain-Sea World to capture Jiang Yun.

Along the way to the Mountain-Sea World, he always felt like someone was secretly following him, but his divine sense couldn’t detect the other person at all.

Now that they were getting closer to the Mountain-Sea World, he had to speak up and reveal his identity, hoping the other person would show up.

Although the other person didn’t appear, he wasn’t worried.

His intention in speaking up was to warn.

With the identity of the Dao God Temple Boundary Patroller, no matter why the other person was following him, they shouldn’t dare to be his enemy and shouldn’t interfere with his mission.

As Yue Qing’s figure vanished into thin air, a golden lotus suddenly appeared in the darkness.

A young woman who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen walked out from the lotus!

This woman had a graceful figure, long flowing hair, beautiful facial features, and delicate features.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed in the direction where Yue Qing disappeared, murmuring to herself, "He was able to discover this, this Yue Qing is quite skilled."

"I really wonder what kind of person the sect master of my Mountain-Sea Branch Seeking-Tao Sect is, and how could he have offended the Dao God Temple!"

"But with this girl here, how can you easily take away people from my sect!"

The woman lifted her foot, took a step, and suddenly another golden lotus appeared under her feet, enveloping her body, then she disappeared without a trace.

However, not long after the woman’s disappearance, a middle-aged man appeared in the darkness.

The man with a sneer said, "What a clever move! Seeking-Tao Sect even sent her out. It shows how important they consider the people in this Mountain-Sea World."

"However, since your Gu Bulao won’t let us enter Mountain-Sea World to save Daozi, then our Seeking Dao Sect won’t let you enter Mountain-Sea World smoothly either!"

After saying that, the man’s figure also disappeared without a trace.

Three people, each from three major powers, all headed towards the direction of Mountain-Sea World.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was already soaking in steaming water, surrounded by mist and a strange fragrance lingering in the air.

And his grandfather’s voice sounded in his ears again, "Little Yun!"

Jiang Yun quickly turned his head and saw his grandfather looking at him with a loving expression through the mist.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Jiang Wanli, with his wrinkled face, smiled and said, "Little Yun, I called you for a while, but you didn’t respond!"

"Hurry up and wash up, today is the most important day of your life!"

After saying this, Jiang Wanli smiled and walked away.

"Grandpa!"

Watching his grandfather’s hunched figure, Jiang Yun’s eyes involuntarily became wet.

Tears slid down uncontrollably, flowing over his cheeks, dropping into the hot water and creating small ripples.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and looked around.

He knew without even looking that he was back at his grandpa’s small house in Jiang village, soaking in a herbal bath.

He understood that everything in front of him was just an illusion.

Even his grandpa was just a figment of imagination.

The true self was being invaded by inner demons.

In other words, everything in this illusion was his own inner demons!

Or in other words, it was his own unyielding attachment!

Compared to other cultivators who were unaware when their inner demons invaded and entered illusions, Jiang Yun was much luckier.

Thanks to the activation of the Lucky Talisman, the trickle of luck entering his body allowed him to remain clear-headed in the illusion.

Naturally, this increased his chances of breaking the illusion and defeating the inner demon by a large margin compared to others.

Jiang Yun wiped away the tears from his face, stood up from the wooden tub, and took the animal skin clothing hanging on the side.

Just as he finished putting on his clothes and was about to walk out of the cabin, a voice outside urged once again, "little martial brother, little martial brother, are you ready? People are almost here, if you don’t come soon, it will be very rude!"

Outside the door, a young man in a green long robe rushed in.

Upon hearing the man’s voice and seeing him, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

However, the man had already rushed up to him and said, "little martial brother, why aren’t you answering? What are you thinking about again?"

"Your mind is always wandering, but Senior Brother likes your character!"

"Come on, quickly tell me, what doubts do you have now? Senior Brother will give you a simple explanation!"

The chattering words kept flowing into Jiang Yun’s ears, making him feel extremely familiar.

How long had it been since he last heard this voice?

"Big Brother!"

Yes, standing in front of Jiang Yun was Big Brother Dongfang Bo!

Then, another person rushed in from outside, stood at the door and shouted, "Big Brother, little martial brother, hurry up! Everyone is already at the village entrance, stop dawdling!"

Looking at this old man with white hair and a beard, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but shed tears again that he had just wiped away.

"Third Martial Brother!"

This time, the one who appeared was the deceased Third Martial Brother Xuanyuan Xing!

"Oh, why are you crying!"

Xuanyuan Xing looked surprised, touched his head and said, "Come on, little martial brother, even though I know you are happy, as real men, we shouldn’t shed tears easily!"

"Third Martial Brother, you don’t understand, little martial brother is not crying, he’s overwhelmed with joy!"

While Dongfang Bo was talking, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Yun’s face, saying, "Alright, little brother, let’s go outside!"

Looking at the very real Senior Brother and Third Brother in front of him, even though Jiang Yun knew it was an illusion, a thought crossed his mind.

"Even though this is just an illusion, even though everything is fake, I am willing to stay here for a while longer!"

Thinking this, a smile appeared on his face as he nodded gently, saying, "Let’s go outside!"

"Let’s go!"

Dongfang Bo and Xuanyuan Xing, holding Jiang Yun’s hand, walked out of the small house.

Standing outside, all Jiang Yun could see was a large expanse of bright red.

In Jiang village now, all the small houses were decorated with colorful lights and hanging red lanterns.

The people of Jiang village were all standing outside, looking at him with familiar faces filled with smiles and joy, making Jiang Yun feel somewhat dazed.

Until now, he didn’t know what would happen to himself in this magical place.

At this moment, a little girl walked up to Jiang Yun, with a Tricolor Bird perched on her shoulder, her delicate face showing displeasure.

"Brother Yun, today is your big day, you can’t just forget about Yuerou once you have a bride!"

"Big day…"

In that moment, Jiang Yun finally realized that he was going to get married in this magical place!
