Chapter 764: Making a Decision
During the third year of Jiang Yun’s closed-door cultivation, he actually only needed less than half a year to complete the cultivation of the Ghost Dao Spirit.
Besides that, he had an unexpected gain!
He finally sensed his own soul!
Back in the Shadow Spirit World, when he forcefully devoured Gui Li’s Ghost Dao with his life fire, he sensed a shackle apart from his life fire, which was restricting the growth of his life fire – his soul.
This shackle, was his soul, limiting the growth of his life fire.
If his spirit was not restricted, his life force would become stronger with the help of the Nirvana technique.
Bai Ze was shocked by Jiang Yun’s discovery at that time.
Even in the Sky Blessed Realm, cultivators cannot perceive their own spirit.
However, Jiang Yun strongly felt that if he absorbed more ghostly energy, he could perceive his own spirit!
With the help of ghostly energy in Amaryllis now, he finally broke free from the restrictions on his spirit and could clearly perceive his own spirit!
The most immediate benefit for him was that his life force, vitality, and divine sense all became stronger.
His sight, hearing, and perception also became clearer.
What he did not expect was that although he successfully perceived his own spirit, outside of his spirit, there was an even stronger restriction!
He knew that this restriction came from the seal behind him, like the character "cloud."
Even with his current strength, trying his best to break through this seal, there was no response at all.
This made him think of the words Hai Yixue told him at the beginning.
Inside his body, there was hidden another soul, one that looked just like him, but with a more mature soul.
If it wasn’t for the conversation he had with Jin Cunyao three years ago, Jiang Yun would have naturally thought that the other soul inside him was actually himself.
But now, he didn’t think so anymore.
In fact, he had no idea what kind of existence that soul was at all!
Therefore, he simply chose to ignore all of this.
However, at this moment, standing under the seven suns, he suddenly discovered that among those seven suns, there seemed to be a hidden presence!
But this presence vanished in an instant, and when he tried to search for it again, he couldn’t find anything at all.
The seven suns were too high and hot for Jiang Yun to approach, so after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
It’s best not to be too curious when you’re not strong enough!
Even if there were signs of life among the seven suns, it wouldn’t be surprising.
After all, he believed that Firebird must have been born from one of the suns.
After clearing his thoughts, Jiang Yun didn’t check his progress but stepped out of the courtyard and saw Liu Peng sitting outside on a pile of rocks!
"Master! You’ve come out!"
Seeing Jiang Yun, Liu Peng’s face lit up with joy, he struggled to get up with his hands on the ground.
After managing to stand, he almost knelt down again, but Jiang Yun stopped him with a wave of his sleeve.
Looking at Liu Peng, who was pale and unsteady, Jiang Yun felt indescribable emotions despite keeping a neutral expression.
Because, Liu Peng had made his decision over the past three years, and swallowed the Detox Pill!
The current Liu Peng, has only a little poison left in his body, and his former Sky Reaching Realm cultivation has disappeared.
However, suddenly losing his cultivation made his body extremely weak and unable to bear it.
Jiang Yun didn’t know why Liu Peng made such a choice in the end, but he could imagine that before Liu Peng decided to swallow the Detox Pill, he must have gone through a very painful torment!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun slowly asked, "Do you still want to continue your cultivation?"
As Jiang Yun asked this question, Liu Peng’s body suddenly trembled.
After a moment of silence, Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Master, the path of formations is vast and unfathomable. I only hope to achieve something in formations in my lifetime."
Liu Peng’s answer made Jiang Yun smile slightly and say, "Good!"
With those words, Jiang Yun’s figure flickered and appeared in front of Liu Peng, extending a finger to gently touch his forehead.
"Starting now, I will teach you all the knowledge about formations that I know."
"Even though I don’t know much about formations, the essence remains the same. By simplifying things, I believe you can surpass me!"
"For now, this is all I can teach you."
"Also, I promise you that as long as your master is alive, you will surely become a master of formations in your lifetime."
"Thank you, master!"
Liu Peng bowed deeply to Jiang Yun, and looking at Liu Peng, Jiang Yun’s smile grew even wider.
Because he knew that his disciple had finally let go of his attachment to cultivation.
Letting go is also a form of cultivation!
It’s just that this cultivation is of the heart!
Although Liu Peng lost his powers and extraordinary abilities, he found his true path and his own way!
There are many paths to enlightenment, but in the end, all lead to achieving the Great Dao!
Although Jiang Yun was unsure if someone without powers could achieve the Great Dao, he had high hopes for Liu Peng!
Just like Senior Brother told him, the people on Hidden Peak, and the disciples of their sect, were all quite unusual!
Achieving the Great Dao without powers is indeed extraordinary!
As a pharmacist, his promise to Liu Peng was to extend his lifespan as much as possible, so he could one day achieve enlightenment!
"I will be going out for a few days, not sure when I’ll return, or if I will return, but I will give you some things."
"These items will protect you and your family, ensuring your safety."
Liu Peng lifted his head, determined, and said, "Master will return safely!"
"Haha, okay, then I’ll give you my blessing!"
Jiang Yun only gave Liu Peng three things – a Detox Pill, a Li Flame Pearl, and an Other Shore Soul Poison!
Firebird summoned a lot of Li Flame Pearls for Jiang Yun twice. Jiang Yun didn’t use them all, he had about a hundred left. He kept fifty for himself and gave the rest to Liu Peng.
In the last year of closed-door cultivation, Jiang Yun successfully refined the Other Shore Soul Poison from the Amaryllis.
Although it was different from the Other Shore Soul Poison in Third Martial Brother’s body, it was still very poisonous and almost incurable in the mortal realm.
With these two things in hand, Liu family’s safety was guaranteed.
However, Jiang Yun was still worried. Instead of removing the formations he set up around the residence, he spent three days reinforcing them.
He even set up the first four smaller formations of the Nine Snow Loop Array completely.
This ensured the safety of Liu family to the fullest and allowed Liu Peng to study the ways of formations using the four smaller formations.
After settling Liu Peng, Jiang Yun did some preparations, especially for keeping the stone egg formed by his Xisoil.
Even though the stone egg was cracked, half of it remained intact, and this half was strong enough to resist the Hidden Tao Sword!
Finally, on the fifth day, Guluo’s voice rang in Jiang Yun’s ears, "Taoist Friend Gu, are we ready to depart?"
"Yes!"
