Chapter 720: Three Types of Tests

The sudden appearance of three divine senses made Jiang Yun squint slightly, a hint of cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Is this a challenge to himself?

Fortunately, at this moment, Liu Zhendong quickly explained, "These are divine senses of three Sky Blessed Realm cultivators, Taoist Friend Gu, please do not resist."

Hearing this, a thought stirred in Jiang Yun’s heart, and he suddenly understood.

Since this valley is one of the Blessed Lands within the seven layers of Dao Prison, the defense is naturally very strict, so everyone entering here must be thoroughly inspected.

However, Jiang Yun was still a little surprised.

As soon as he stepped into this place, even before truly entering the valley, these three powerful cultivators from the Sky Blessed Realm sensed him and used their divine ability to search him.

This shows that these three people are very aware of everything happening in the valley.

Understanding this, Jiang Yun didn’t resist anymore and allowed the three to scan him with their divine senses.

Even the divine sense of the disciples from the Dao God Temple couldn’t see the secrets on Jiang Yun’s body, so these three powerful divine senses surely couldn’t discover anything either.

Jiang Yun, based on the strength of these three divine senses, got a rough idea of the power of these three unknown cultivators from the Sky Blessed Realm.

All three of them were at the beginning stage of the Sky Blessed Realm, similar in strength.

Although Jiang Yun was far from reaching the Sky Blessed Realm himself, he had fought with Sky Blessed Realm cultivators a few times before.

Especially after fighting with Yue Qing, he didn’t feel as afraid of Sky Blessed Realm cultivators as other practitioners did.

The three divine senses scanned Jiang Yun and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Zhendong also felt a bit sorry as he said, "I forgot to inform Taoist Friend Gu, it is our custom here that anyone entering for the first time must be examined by three senior members."

Forgot!

Jiang Yun couldn’t believe that such an important custom was forgotten by the head of the Liu family. It seems he also had doubts about his own background and intentionally did not inform him in advance.

However, Jiang Yun didn’t mind. In such an environment, it was indeed necessary to be cautious, so he smiled and said, "It’s nothing, it’s what should be done!"

"Alright, everything’s fine now, Taoist Friend, please!"

The group got back on the Rhinobeast and after nearly a quarter of an hour of riding, a not-so-small estate finally appeared before Jiang Yun’s eyes.

The estate’s gates had long been wide open, with thirty to forty people standing on either side, looking respectful and waiting.

It was clear that the Liu family did take Jiang Yun’s arrival quite seriously.

Jiang Yun’s gaze casually swept over these members of the Liu family and he noticed that even the weakest among them were at the Blessed Land Realm level.

With Liu Zhendong by his side, Jiang Yun entered the Liu family. After enjoying a special feast arranged for him, he was taken to a quiet courtyard.

Liu Zhendong politely said, "Taoist Friend Gu, you have traveled a long way, please rest for a few days."

"I will show you around this area later, and if you need anything, just let me know."

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, "I am indeed a bit tired, so I will trouble you!"

After watching Liu Zhendong leave, Jiang Yun entered the house.

Although the interior was simple, it was very clean.

Jiang Yun didn’t mind these things, so he casually glanced around before sitting down.

His spiritual awareness instantly spread out, quietly covering the entire Liu family estate.

Despite Liu Peng’s kindness and the courtesy shown to Jiang Yun by the Liu family, he couldn’t fully trust them.

At this moment, in the hallway of the Liu family, Liu Zhendong was sitting there with Liu Peng and Uncle Yuan standing in front of him.

Liu Peng was telling the detailed story of how he met Jiang Yun, while Uncle Yuan would occasionally add in some details on the side.

After Liu Peng finished speaking, Liu Zhendong gestured for him to leave, then turned to Uncle Yuan and asked, "Uncle Yuan, what do you think of this person?"

"This person’s strength is hard to gauge. It seems he was recently sent to Dao Prison and accidentally saved the young master. Even though he may want to enter Peach Blossom City, at least he doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards our Liu family."

Liu Zhendong nodded and said, "Since even the three seniors haven’t suspected him, it seems like he’s alright."

"Of course, we can’t fully trust him yet. Let’s keep him around for a while longer."

"If he truly proves trustworthy, it would be a good thing for our Liu family. It would increase our chances of settling in Peach Blossom City!"

Suddenly, Liu Zhendong sighed softly and said, "Uncle Yuan, find a chance to tell Peng not to continue his training."

"He was lucky to escape with his life this time, it might not be the case next time."

"Moreover, his body is reaching its limits, any further cultivation will only result in disability."

Liu Zhendong’s words made Uncle Yuan show a pained expression, saying, "Even though young master is not suited for cultivation, we have seen his efforts over the years."

"Now, asking him to give up cultivation, he may find it hard to accept right away!"

Liu Zhendong shook his head and said, "Even if he doesn’t want to, he must accept. Alright, you are tired from the journey, go rest!"

As Uncle Yuan left, the hall was left with only Liu Zhendong. He closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, lost in thought.

Jiang Yun also withdrew his divine sense and muttered, "The Liu family doesn’t seem to harbor ill intentions towards me, and it seems they may have a chance to move to Peach Blossom City, and they may need my help!"

Although Jiang Yun still didn’t know what Peach Blossom City looked like inside, there would certainly be a big difference between living on the outskirts and residing within the city.

"Liu Peng, as a young master, is not valued because he is unsuitable for cultivation and cannot reach high realms, so he may not be fit for the position of family master in the future."

"But Liu Peng is unwilling to accept this fate, so he diligently cultivated, leading to his body being repeatedly filled with poisonous qi, and even coming close to death this time."

"So, now Liu Zhendong asked him to stop practicing cultivation for his own good."

"But these things have nothing to do with me. I need to find a chance to go around nearby in these few days and see if the Firebird is there."

And so, Jiang Yun temporarily stayed with the Liu family.

Liu Peng would come to check on him from time to time, and Jiang Yun noticed that Uncle Yuan seemed not to have told Liu Peng about Liu Zhendong’s thoughts.

Perhaps he did tell him, but Liu Peng refused to listen and continued to work hard on his cultivation, causing the poison within him to increase significantly.

Jiang Yun felt helpless about Liu Peng’s situation.

As an outsider, he felt it was not appropriate to interfere, so he pretended not to notice.

However, a few days later, to Jiang Yun’s surprise, Liu Zhendong appeared in front of him, bowed deeply and said, "Taoist Friend Gu, I dare to ask for your help!"

Jiang Yun furrowed his brows and said, "Liu family master, please speak plainly, there is no need for such formality."

"I want to ask my Taoist friend to help convince my son Liu Peng to give up practicing!"

Jiang Yun was surprised, never expected that Liu Zhendong would come to him because of this matter.

Liu Zhendong said with a wry smile, "Liu Peng’s mother passed away early, and as the family master, I have many trivial matters to attend to, plus I have a bad temper, so my relationship with Liu Peng is quite distant."

"Originally, he used to listen to Uncle Yuan, but now he doesn’t listen to him anymore. I see that Liu Peng respects Taoist Friend a lot, maybe he can listen to Taoist Friend’s advice."

Although Jiang Yun knew what was going on, he couldn’t tell the truth, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Taoist Friend Liu, what’s the situation with Liu Peng?"

Liu Zhendong sighed and said, "Taoist Friend, you may not know this. In my Liu family, or I should say among all the forces I know of, before their disciples start practicing, they have to undergo three tests!"

"Three tests!"

A glimmer suddenly flashed in Jiang Yun’s eyes.
