Chapter 136: The Luo Family's Foundation

ability to absorb spiritual energy, it would be impossible for a human and a beast to pass through eighty-one barriers of light!Xia Zhongtian apparently knew what everyone was thinking, so he waved h...Just as Bai Ze was worried and anxious for Jiang Yun, inside Jiang Yun's body, the powerful seal of life and death that Jiang Yun couldn't resist at all finally reached his dantian.

And before it, a black stone hung silently suspended!

“Having attained the Dao’s meaning, you are allowed to enter the second realm. Whether you can ultimately achieve Dao in the future depends on your own karmic fate!”

The voice, profound with the weight of ages, finally roused Jiang Yun's nearly shattered consciousness at the eleventh hour.

The instant he came to, Jiang Yun's gaze naturally turned inward.

Under the sound of vicissitudes, the life and death demon seal, which was originally in Jiang Yun's body, as if entering an uninhabited realm, overwhelmingly powerful, suddenly trembled slightly. Then it turned into a beam of light and directly plunged into the black stone.

Such a scene, Ginger Cloud had seen before. When he challenged the Heaven-Severing Sword on Jian Dao Peak, a human sword intent nearly killed him, and it was absorbed into the black stone in the same way.

Unexpectedly, on this treacherous bridge for demon-taming, the last technique of the Luo family's ancestral art, was able to resonate with the black stone and even be drawn into it.

The black stone turned back into water, allowing Jiang Yun to clearly see that beneath the human-shaped sword intent, there was a suspended imprint of the Life and Death Demon Seal.

This result, of course, overjoyed Ginger Cloud!

Because not only did he successfully get rid of the threat from this last technique, but he also turned misfortune into good fortune and obtained this life-and-death demon seal which is currently impossible for him to remember!

As long as the life and death demonic seal exists within this black stone, it will be like that golden sword intent. I can constantly comprehend it until I fully understand it in the end.

Although I don't yet know how to reach that second layer of water, it's only a matter of time. There will be a way.

As the Seal of Life and Death sank into the black stone, Jiang Yun's demon body, which had been reversed to 99%, naturally began to transform back into a human body.

This scene naturally shocked all the cultivators, the Luo family members, and even Bai Ze!

Although Bai Ze knows a great deal about Jiang Yun, he is unaware of the black stone. It seems that the black stone can automatically conceal his divine sense.

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, Jiang Yun successfully countered the last attack of this demonic refinement technique purely by his own strength.

"This, is impossible!"

Luo Lingxiao's teeth were almost gritted to dust!

Just now, Jian Yun was almost completely reversed into a demon. He couldn't help but smile inwardly, but unexpectedly, in just a fleeting moment, Jian Yun resisted the Seal of Life and Death Demon.

No matter what, I won't let you cross this treacherous demon bridge today!

From Luo Lingxiao's teeth, these words were squeezed out, and he also raised his hand, clenched it hard, and crushed the jade pendant that he had always held in his hand!

The shattering of the jade pendant caused Luo Baichuan and other high-ranking members of the Luo family to be taken aback. Their expressions changed, and they all rushed towards Ni Yao Bridge at once.

They know better than anyone the consequences of this jade pendant shattering.

Even Luo Qing, after raising her head to glance at Luo Lingxiao's direction, faintly said: "Although Lingxiao's actions are a bit rash, he is after all the designated next head of our Luo family. Since he has already done it, there's no need to stop him. It's also time to let the world know about some of the foundations of our Luo family!"

Luo Qing's single sentence immediately caused all the high-ranking members of the Luo family to stop in their tracks and bow their fists together, saying: "As you command, Ancestor!"

Just as the jade pendant shattered, Jiang Yun, who was about to take the final step across the last zhang and finish traversing the Reverse Demon Bridge, suddenly heard Bai Ze's voice: "No, not good, quickly cross over!"

Ginger Cloud did want to step out with both feet, but unfortunately at this moment the Reverse Demon Bridge had suddenly flipped over, leaving him upside down, hanging on the bridge in an inverted position.

If it wasn't for Jiang Yun's extremely fast reaction and using his physical strength to firmly stabilize his figure, then this single flip alone would have been enough for him to lose all his previous progress and fall into the abyss thousands of meters below.

However, the flip was just the beginning, because as the bridge flipped, streaks of black mist suddenly surged up from the abyss beneath it.

These mists were incredibly numerous, and it seemed that because they had existed for far too long, each one carried a thick, pungent stench. Even the cultivators standing at the gate of Luo's Castle were nauseated after catching a whiff of it.

Jiang Yun had already closed his mouth and nose. Now, he was as if frozen in place on the Inverse Demon Bridge, unable to move even an inch. So he could only watch helplessly as countless wisps of mist surged and churned before him, as if something were hidden within.

"Roar!"

As the fog grew thicker and thicker, almost completely filling the abyss, a roar suddenly echoed from within the mist!

The roar sounded like both human voice and beastly growl, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a beast. It shook everyone to their core, causing blood to surge and heads to throb.

Not to mention Gingercloud, whose breath was almost touching him. Its roar resonated in his ears, instantly making blood pour from his seven orifices, but what truly shook him was Bai Ze's voice, trembling to its very core.

"Way, way demon!"

This cloud of mist is a Dao demon, the very same statue that stands in the Luo family's courtyard. The demon beneath its feet is also the master of the Reverse Demon Bridge, which was originally made from beast bones!

From the swirling mists, a head emerged, covered in scales like a dragon's. Its maw opened wide, swallowing Jiang Yun whole in one gulp.

Countless cultivators were shocked by the scene before them. Who could have imagined that just as Jiang Yun was about to cross the Reverse Demon Bridge, another such terrifying demon would emerge!

Above the tower, even the arrogant men's faces were filled with astonishment as they said, “This, this is also a spell from the Reverse Demon Bridge”

At this moment, Luo Lingxiao's face regained his arrogance. He raised his head and said, "This is one of the foundations of our Luo family, or rather, the soul of a Dao demon that was slain by my ancestor back in the day!"

After the demonic general, Jiang Yun, was swallowed by the dragon's head, the thick fog that filled the space between the two cliffs receded like a tide and surged rapidly downward into the abyss.

Just then, Luo Baichuan's figure appeared above the castle gates, bowing and cupping his fists towards everyone: "Well, that's the end of today's commotion. Everyone can go back to rest!"

"Tomorrow morning, before the birthday of my Luo family's ancestor, we will arrange a competition among Qi Condensation cultivators to liven up the festivities. My Luo family has also prepared generous prizes, hoping that everyone will participate enthusiastically!"

Although many people sympathized with Jiang Yun and felt sorry for him, at this moment, looking into the abyss that stretched ten thousand zhang deep, there was nothing left besides the dissipating mist. There was no sign of Jiang Yun.

Even the Reverse Demon Bridge flipped again, returning to its original form, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Really, is this it over"

"It's a pity about Zong Jianyun from the Question Dao Sect, he almost succeeded! However, the Luo family's strength surprised us!"

"Well, when we return, I'll also need to report this matter to the Sect Leader."

Sympathy or regret, after all, they are strangers to us. So it's just like watching a very good spectacle.

Just as everyone was preparing to disperse and return to their homes, Gu Bulao, who had been sitting cross-legged at the summit of Zangfeng Peak since Jiang Yun's departure, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of excitement and joy appeared on the youthful face of the child as he murmured softly.

"Well done, young one! You've finally used up half of my life force! Excellent, you haven't disappointed me for arranging this training specifically for you. It seems you've found the power to open the twelfth meridian!"
