Chapter 713: Quenching the Thirst
After Firebird left, Jiang Yun wandered around nearby before returning to Reincarnation Cave.
Seeing Jiang Yun return so quickly, Liu Peng smiled and asked, "Has Taoist Friend Gu made up his mind?"
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Thanks to the warm invitation from Taoist Friend Liu, if I hesitate any longer, it would seem a bit pretentious. In the future, I hope Taoist Friend Liu will take care of me more!"
"Don’t mention it!"
Liu Peng happily said, "With Taoist Friend Gu joining us, my Liu family will be even stronger!"
This statement was true, and Jiang Yun understood that although Liu Peng had a good heart in inviting him to the Liu family, it was also a way to recruit him.
"When will your family members arrive?"
"If fast, maybe three to five days, if slow, then seven days."
Jiang Yun nodded and looked towards the depths of the Reincarnation Cave again.
Honestly, he wanted to meet the golden toad again and see how it could help him get rid of the poison in his body.
But knowing he still had the aura of the Firebird on him, he decided to wait for another chance to visit a different Reincarnation Cave to explore!
Just then, Bai Ze’s voice rang in Jiang Yun’s mind, "Why don’t you just try to tame both the Firebird and the toad?"
As a Demon Refiner, with the Demon Refining Pen in hand, Jiang Yun had ways to easily tame ordinary demon beasts.
But Bai Ze found it strange that Jiang Yun hadn’t tried to tame the Firebird in the past year.
Now, facing the toad that could remove the poison from his body, Jiang Yun still hesitated to tame it, which made Bai Ze impatient.
Instead of answering, Jiang Yun asked back, "Would you want to be tamed by someone?"
Bai Ze quickly replied, "Of course not!"
"That’s it!"
Jiang Yun calmly said, "I hold no grudge against them. If they are willing to follow me willingly, I will welcome them with open arms."
"But if I have to forcefully control them with the Demon Sealing Seal, making them fight for me, then how am I any different from the Luo family back then, or that Huo Yanghui?"
Although Jiang Yun did not see himself as a good person, he was willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
However, he had his own moral boundaries.
Anything that crossed those boundaries, he would never do, no matter what!
"Hmph, so old-fashioned. Can’t even save your own life, yet speaking so self-righteously!"
Despite Bai Ze’s disdainful words, deep down he admired Jiang Yun’s actions.
Jiang Yun knew Bai Ze’s true feelings and didn’t bother with him, instead, he looked at Liu Peng and asked straightforwardly, "Taoist Friend Liu, since we have some time now, why don’t you tell me about this Dao Prison and the general situation of Peach Blossom City? It will help me be prepared."
Liu Peng scratched his head and said, "Actually, I don’t know much about the situation in this Dao Prison. It’s just hearsay, not confirmed."
"After all, for people like us who cannot easily use their cultivation, Dao Prison is really huge. So, I can only tell you about Peach Blossom City."
Jiang Yun nodded in understanding.
The experiences over the past year had already allowed him to feel the pain of not daring to use his cultivation freely.
Maybe it’s not so bad for ordinary people, but for someone who used to be a powerful cultivator, not being able to freely use their cultivation power anymore is truly cruel.
Trying to understand such a vast world without using cultivation power is absolutely impossible.
So, Liu Peng explained everything he knew in detail.
Peach Blossom City is not small and is home to nearly a million creatures.
Aside from a few specialized arrays that can shield against toxins, the air inside the city is much less toxic compared to outside.
In the whole Peach Blossom City, there are many different groups, but only three are the strongest!
Among these three groups, each one has a powerful Sky Blessed Realm cultivator leading them, making them extremely strong.
When Jiang Yun heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
Having three Sky Blessed Realm cultivators in one city is something that would be impossible even in the Qing-zhu Desolate World.
Peach Blossom City is just one city among the seven layers of the Dao Prison!
How many Sky Blessed Realm cultivators and skilled Daoxing Realm experts are there in this entire layer of Dao Prison?
Jiang Yun finally had a real understanding of the number of powerful individuals in the Dao Prison.
However, this also reminded him of the Dao God Temple behind the Dao Prison, and the Taoist Lord whose name is not casually mentioned.
It’s no wonder the Dao God Temple dares to claim control over the countless Tao World, even the Nine Great Dao Sects do not dare to provoke the Dao God Temple.
The power of Dao God Temple is beyond imagination.
There are many influential families around Peach Blossom City, and the Liu family is one of them.
Even though they only live outside Peach Blossom City, not just any influence can freely reside there. At the very least, there must be a strong Earth Protection Realm expert present.
However, whether inside or outside Peach Blossom City, the positions of the various influences are not secure.
Even with powerful Sky Blessed Realm cultivators in charge of the three major forces in the city, it doesn’t mean they can relax.
This is because there is an unwritten rule in Peach Blossom City that allows challenges.
For example, if a new Sky Blessed Realm cultivator emerges in an outside faction, this new Sky Blessed Realm has the right to challenge a Sky Blessed Realm inside the city.
The challenged party cannot refuse!
The winner can bring their own faction into Peach Blossom City, while the loser must leave.
Moreover, this challenge is not just about winning or losing, but about life and death!
Similarly, even those forces living outside the city must be careful to guard against challenges from external forces and prevent being replaced by others.
Although it is unknown who established these rules, everyone must follow them, leading to a sense of urgency and crisis in every force.
Naturally, under such urgency, everyone diligently practices cultivation.
"How do you cultivate?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but interrupt Liu Peng.
Surprise flashed across Liu Peng’s face as he replied, "It’s by absorbing spirit qi for cultivation!"
Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and repeated, "Absorbing spirit qi for cultivation?"
This answer would be considered normal in other worlds.
But inside Dao Prison, the air is filled with poison everywhere, absorbing spirit energy to cultivate, isn’t it like drinking poison to quench thirst?
However, that is the truth!
Within Dao Prison, there are indeed plants and stones containing spirit energy, but they are rare and only belong to a few people.
Most cultivators living in Dao Prison, although they know that the Dao Spirit energy is poisonous and absorbing it will worsen the poison in their bodies, they have to forcefully cultivate to improve their skills and survive better.
Naturally, when the poison in their bodies reaches saturation, they will go to the Reincarnation Cave to ask Master Golden Toad for help in removing it.
However, this kind of removal is only temporary, and over time, one day, the poison in their bodies will not be able to be removed anymore.
By then, they can only wait for death.
Jiang Yun couldn’t help but shake his head, showing a bitter smile, feeling truly sympathetic for the cultivators in Dao Prison.
However, he was more helpless!
Because if you can’t find a way to get rid of the poisonous gas by yourself, one day, you will end up like them, knowing that the Dao Spirit gas is poisonous, but still having to breathe it in.
"Is there really no one who has found a way to get rid of the poisonous gas?"
"There is!"
Liu Peng’s answer made Jiang Yun raise his head instantly.
Just as Liu Peng was about to speak, Jiang Yun’s expression suddenly changed.
Because he suddenly felt a tremendously powerful divine sense above his head, or you could say, in the sky.
