Chapter 742: Three Whirlpools
Feeling the strong lock of the divine sense and seeing the finger about to strike him like lightning, Jiang Yun’s only thought was that he had been deceived by Guluo.
He had set up an ambush inside Peach Blossom City in advance, luring himself in to be killed!
Although the sudden appearance of the divine sense and the finger took him by surprise, Jiang Yun was always cautious and could not easily trust Guluo. So, he was on high alert at all times.
Unfortunately, the Power of the Heavens he gained from his Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens had vanished. With his true cultivation level, even with his guard up, he could not withstand this attack.
Because this attack came from a strong expert in the Sky Blessed Realm.
But even so, Jiang Yun refused to give in. Unable to use his Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens and unable to block the attack with his own power, he had no choice but to extend his own finger and strike towards the finger just inches away from his forehead.
Taoist magic, Love and Separation are painful!
With a single slash, he cut through the space in front of him!
In an instant, the space in front of Jiang Yun briefly overlapped, splitting in half, as the finger of the Sky Blessed Realm cultivator landed on the overlapping space.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the space just separated by Jiang Yun instantly collapsed and shattered.
Naturally, Jiang Yun finally managed to dodge the attack, with his back drenched in sweat.
From the moment he was born until now, despite often lingering outside the Ghost Gate, this time was undoubtedly the closest he had ever been to death!
However, he had no time to celebrate, instead he turned abruptly towards Guluo, with the Soul-Locking Incense quietly appearing in his hand.
When he was fighting with Guluo earlier, he didn’t use the Soul-Locking Incense because Guluo didn’t intend to kill him.
But now, if Guluo and another Sky Blessed Realm cultivator are working together to set up this almost deadly move against himself, then he must make Guluo pay even if it means risking danger again.
However, what surprised Jiang Yun was that Guluo’s face showed shock and anger, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, glaring at the sky in the distance.
From Guluo’s appearance, it didn’t seem like he was acting deliberately.
This means that not only was this not planned with someone else, but even Guluo himself didn’t know that a Sky Blessed Realm cultivator would attack when Jiang Yun entered the city gate.
This stirred something in Jiang Yun’s heart.
Although he didn’t light the Soul-Locking Incense, he fully released his divine sense to prevent any further sneak attacks.
It was only then that Jiang Yun noticed how different the situation inside Peach Blossom City was compared to what he saw outside!
The most striking thing inside Peach Blossom City was the presence of three huge vortexes in the sky, each at least thousands of feet in size, arranged in a triangular pattern.
At that moment, Guluo’s gaze was fixed on one of the vortexes.
Inside the whirlpool, there was a power that Jiang Yun was familiar with. It was the power of a formation that blocked his divine sense, preventing him from seeing clearly what was inside. But Bai Ze told him, "Inside, it’s all pure essence of the sun and moon!"
Just like spirit energy, the essence of the sun and moon is essential for demon race cultivation. With Bai Ze’s explanation, Jiang Yun suddenly understood.
Liu Peng had previously told him that there were special purification formations in Peach Blossom City that shielded against toxic gases.
Obviously, these three whirlpools were one of them!
By using the power of the formation to block the toxins in the spirit energy or the essence of the sun and moon, cultivators can absorb pure energy.
Moreover, the immense size of these three whirlpools indicated that they were definitely owned by the three major forces within the city.
Looking at the three whirlpools, Jiang Yun realized that the three Sky Blessed Realm cultivators were all from the demon race, sparking a sudden thought in his mind.
If he entered one of these whirlpools, perhaps he could figure out how the formation was set up.
Then, he could set up one in his own cultivation place too!
However, he shook his head again because this solution only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
Even though the spirit qi absorbed no longer contains poison, as long as one is not constantly within the formation, the poison will still penetrate the body through the skin and various parts once leaving the formation.
But then, Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly brightened.
If he could set up a formation on his body to block the poison gas, wouldn’t that entirely stop the poison from entering his body?
Setting up formations on the body may seem unimaginable to others, but Jiang Yun’s body contains two Tao Seals!
Seals and formations actually share similarities, so if he can set up seals, he should naturally be able to set up formations too!
In this moment, Jiang Yun felt an unusual excitement in his heart.
Although it’s currently just an idea and not a reality yet, at least he’s found another way to deal with the poison gas.
If successful, this method could permanently eliminate the invasion of poison gas.
Just then, Guluo’s voice was heard, "Sorry, Taoist Friend Gu, I scared you just now. Follow me for now, I will explain later!"
Before Jiang Yun could say anything, Guluo grabbed him and flew away from the city gate, heading towards the vortex he was looking at earlier.
Even though Guluo was silent earlier, Jiang Yun knew he must have communicated with the person who attacked him using special senses.
Jiang Yun realized Guluo was taking him to where that person was.
To Jiang Yun’s surprise, Firebird was also taken by Guluo, making him wonder if Guluo needed both his and Firebird’s help.
Firebird looked excited, with its eyes shining and saliva dripping from its mouth.
Jiang Yun recognized that look on Firebird’s face – it found something delicious!
Jiang Yun suddenly realized where they were heading and who had attacked him earlier!
Fusang Tree!
It turns out, one of the three cultivators from Peach Blossom City’s Sky Blessed Realm is actually the Fusang Tree!
That’s why even though Firebird desires the Fusang Leaf, it dares not approach because the Fusang Tree, like Firebird, has become a demon and has even reached the Sky Blessed Realm.
Although Firebird surely has other means to enhance its power beyond the Tao Spiritual Realm, the Fusang Tree must also have similar abilities.
Coupled with the gap in their realms, Firebird is no match for the Fusang Tree at all!
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Yun found himself in a room.
An extremely old man, with a face wrinkled like dry wood, was sitting behind a square table leisurely sipping tea.
The tea was bright red like blood and gave off a refreshing scent.
The old man showed no reaction whatsoever to the arrival of Jiang Yun and Guluo, not even lifting an eyelid.
In contrast, Firebird stared intently at the tea cup in the old man’s hand, swallowing saliva continuously.
Jiang Yun could see everything clearly and feel the magical aura coming from the old man, he could tell that the tea cup contained Fusang Tree leaves.
The identity of the old man was naturally the Fusang Tree monster!
