Chapter 767: Hidden Agendas
This discovery made Jiang Yun’s eyes flash with a cold light.
"Each one of you clearly has hidden agendas. Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany you and see what your true purposes are!"
Regarding the upcoming unknown territory, even though Guluo and the others mentioned the possibility of reaching other worlds, possibly leaving Dao Prison.
But Jiang Yun was certain that they were definitely hiding something from him!
Nevertheless, Jiang Yun decided to go along with it. With a few powerful cards in his hand now, he wasn’t too worried.
At this moment, Fusangzi had already reached the foot of the mountain and stood still.
Out of his withered body, numerous branches suddenly extended and kept growing upwards, stopping only after reaching a height of nearly a thousand feet on the mountain wall.
Looking from below, the branches looked like big hands grabbing onto the black vines on the mountain wall above.
Soon, flames rose up from the branches, and under the burning flames, the vines started to wither slowly.
However, new vines would quickly grow near the withered ones at a fast pace.
Obviously, these vines were endless and indestructible.
No wonder Fusangzi said that even though he could tear open the restriction barrier, it wouldn’t last long.
Jiang Yun, who had been closely watching Fusangzi’s every move, couldn’t help but admire Fusangzi’s skills at this moment.
In fact, Fusangzi’s method of breaking the restriction barrier was simple – finding the weak points and forcefully breaking through.
Achieving this required more than just the high temperature of the flames, one needed to possess great strength and make the withering speed of the vines faster than their growth speed.
With Jiang Yun’s current strength, even with the Fire Tao Spirit, he couldn’t burn even a tiny bit of these black vines.
Even though the black vines were withering quickly, it still took some time for Jiang Yun to tear a hole in the barrier, so he turned his gaze to the entire mountainside after watching for a moment.
Since others had ways to break the barrier, Jiang Yun naturally wanted to see if he could do it too.
This way, he wouldn’t be trapped in a passive state after entering that place.
At that moment, Jiang Yun’s powerful divine sense condensed into a straight line, extending directly into the nearest vine.
Under Jiang Yun’s divine sense, the inside of the vine seemed like a vast world in itself.
Clearly visible, it was filled with crisscrossing things resembling veins.
As he looked inside the vine, Jiang Yun suddenly had an idea that could possibly break the barrier.
He had once participated in a competition at the Grand Medicine Sect, entering a formation called the Thousand Medicine Formation to observe the characteristics of various herbs and inputting words with spirit qi into each herb.
If the words were correct, a special trail would form inside the herb, stimulating all parts of the herb and making it disappear.
This method is actually a part of the "Everything Turns into Medicine" technique, which aims to fully bring out the medicinal properties of herbs.
Once the medicinal properties of herbs are completely activated, the herbs will lose all their essence, like when humans lose the water in their bodies and become dry corpses or turn into ashes.
At this moment, the method that Jiang Yun thought of to break the restriction is this!
"This vine is also a type of plant, naturally possessing medicinal properties. So, if I fully activate its medicinal properties, let it turn into ashes, wouldn’t that be equivalent to breaking the restriction?"
Thinking about this, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but feel eager to try it out. However, considering Guluo and the other three people around him, he did not attempt it directly.
Soon after, under the burning of the Fusangzi branches, a piece of black vine that had not completely withered floated down.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yun reached out and grabbed it, holding it in his palm. He intentionally said out loud for everyone to hear, "This vine is very rare. I wonder if it can be used as medicine?"
For Guluo and the others, they had already known that Jiang Yun was not only a Demon Refiner but also a pharmacist. So, when they heard his words at this moment, they didn’t think much of it.
Then, Jiang Yun raised the black vine and shook it in front of the others, asking, "Does anyone want this? If no one wants it, then I’d like to keep it for research."
In the eyes of others, this vine was completely worthless, so they all shook their heads. Guluo smiled and said, "Taoist Friend Gu, feel free to take it!"
"Then I won’t be polite."
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, put the vine into a storage device, but at the same time, a bit of a special energy called spirit qi entered the vine from his hand.
When the vine fell into the storage device, it turned into a pile of dust!
This result made a glint appear in Jiang Yun’s eyes, "My method is indeed effective!"
"In fact, if I want to, I can completely decipher all these restrictions in an even shorter time!"
Although there were countless vines, Jiang Yun was great at multitasking and had amazing control over spirit qi, so his words weren’t just boasting!
Naturally, when he realized that these restrictions had no effect on him, Jiang Yun felt calm.
At least, even if he was apart from others, he would have the ability to leave this place.
Next, Jiang Yun stopped looking around and patiently waited for Fusangzi like everyone else.
Finally, after nearly half an hour, Fusangzi suddenly growled, "Ten more breaths!"
With his voice settled, all four people, including Jiang Yun, were ready to act.
Just ten breaths later, Fusangzi spoke again, "Prepare yourselves!"
As he spoke, within an area about thirty feet in diameter, the thousand-foot-high wall no longer had vines covering it, revealing the wall and several transparent runes above it.
These runes were only a small part, with most still covered by other vines.
Seeing these runes, everyone realized that they were the true restrictions, the power source that allowed the black vines to grow endlessly.
Now, without the cover of the black vines, the transparent runes appeared temporarily weakened. Fusangzi then let out a loud roar and struck the wall with a powerful punch.
There was a loud bang as the wall exploded, revealing a gap.
Although the gap was small, it was just big enough for one person to pass through.
And from that gap, a dazzling burst of colorful light suddenly shot out!
"It’s now!"
Fusangzi took the lead and rushed into the gap, his whole body seemingly swallowed by the colorful light.
Guluo, Xiang Hongchen, and Mo Gang also leaped without hesitation, each entering the gap one after another.
Only Jiang Yun remained standing in place, watching the black vines wriggling constantly, the transparent runes being covered again, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Just for these runes, this adventure is worth it!"
These runes, as there were only a few, Jiang Yun didn’t recognize them at all, never seen them before, nor knew what they represented.
But in his clear eyes, influenced by a power that others didn’t possess, he saw the essence of these few transparent runes!
Or, to put it another way, seeing what actually make up these runes.
It was none other than—Tao Mark!
