Chapter 1832: A Stone's Throw Away

lagers in Xiao Village.Although he had long expected that Kimura would not let go of the matter of his killing of Liu, the shrine priest, he did not expect them to launch an attack so quickly.It's pro...After entering the light gate, although Jiang Yun felt that his position hadn't changed at all, he was indeed no longer in the Shanhai Realm.

At this moment, a book with only nine open pages was floating before Jiang Yun. The pages were stacked high and remained perfectly still, as if someone had flipped through them but forgotten to put them down.

Each page was blank, devoid of any words, images, or symbols. There was only a grayish haze, like mist.

And right in the center of this fog, it had sunk inwards, forming the shape of a key.

Looking at this book, Jiang Yun naturally understood that this must be the sub-sacred artifact of the Xiao clan, Within Reach!

Back then, the people of the Xiao clan created this sub-sacred artifact, and they actually set it up in the shape of a book. It was a bit unexpected for Ginger Cloud.

A finger's length away can be worlds apart, for there are countless spaces hidden within. The Daoist sealed the disobedient members of the nine clans in nine separate spaces—those nine upright book pages you see.

And the nine keys correspond exactly to these nine spaces!

"Wow!"

Jiang Yun let out a breath from his mouth. At this moment, there was also some uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Because I'm about to see my grandfather, relatives from the Ginger clan, and Senior Pharmacist!

The Ginger Clan, truly, they are the closest and most important people in Ginger Cloud's life.

They have each been around for over a hundred years. Ginger Cloud thinks of them constantly.

While Yaoshén has never met Ginger Cloud, he can also be considered his master.

Moreover, as long as we find the God of Medicine, Xueqing will be saved.

After calming his emotions, Jiang Yun spread open his palm, and nine keys that had just flown into his hand appeared in it.

Still, it wasn't necessary for Jiang Yun to make a move. The nine keys flew up by themselves and were inserted perfectly into the recesses of the nine pages, fitting seamlessly together.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As the key was inserted, the nine pages of the book also trembled slightly.

A colored glow emanated from above each key, instantly filling the entire page of the book. It caused the gray fog that had shrouded it to come alive, swirling and churning into whirlpools, each with a faint pull.

Of course, this vortex is the entrance to every space!

"Thanks to me collecting all nine keys, if I was missing even one, there would be a space I couldn't enter."

Jiang Yun didn't know which space corresponded to which of the Nine Clans, so he simply followed the order from left to right. With a flash of his figure, he directly plunged into the vortex on the first page.

With a flash before his eyes, Jiang Yun had already been thrown into a void.

There is nothing here, no heaven, no earth, no spiritual energy.

Looking around, there was only an endless expanse of grayish nothingness.

Even when consciousness merges into this gray, it can detect nothing at all, it is pure nothingness.

Of course, here, consciousness can't play any role at all.

"This is where we are separated by mere inches yet worlds apart!"

Although this was Jiang Yun's first time truly entering Zhǐchǐ Tiānyá, he had once dreamed about his grandfather and them. In the dream, he had already seen Zhǐchǐ Tiānyá once.

Now, I don't know which of the Nine Clans' spaces I am in. Will there be people from the Nine Clans here

Ginger Cloud didn't hesitate, she strode through the space at a rapid pace.

Although this is a space, it also seems as if time and space do not exist here.

Because no matter which direction you walk in, no matter how long you walk for, the scenery around you remains completely unchanged.

In the end, most people will fall into despair because of this unchanging nature that seems to have existed since time immemorial.

Ginger also remembered that the grandfathers she had seen in her dream were walking endlessly and continuously in this very place, without a beginning or an end.

Here, it's just as much a prison as any other, and compared to this place, even the infernal realms would feel like paradise!

However, since Ginger Cloud already possesses the key to entering here, it naturally wouldn't be affected by this.

After a short while, Ginger Cloud's eyes were filled with piles of skeletons!

At the moment he saw the skeleton, Jiang Yun's heart almost stopped beating. He stood there, motionless for a long time, before finally mustering his courage to continue walking and approach the skeleton.

This pile of bones, each bone, is a person. There are seventeen in total.

These are obviously the remains of those from the Nine Clans who were imprisoned here. After enduring an endless, arduous journey, their lives came to an end and they found their final resting place here, gradually transforming into bones.

Or, they may have been unable to bear the torment of this endless void and chose suicide.

After carefully examining these skeletons, Jiang Yun could almost be certain they weren't members of the Jiang clan. After all, there had been over a hundred people in his grandfather's group back then.

However, Ginger Cloud didn't leave these skeletons here. Instead, with a wave of her sleeve, she sent them into her storage magical artifact.

After returning to the world of mountains and seas, I will find a suitable place to bury them properly.

After continuing to walk within this space for a while and confirming that there was nothing else inside, Jiang Yun finally stepped out and entered the second space.

But at this moment, Jiang Yun's heart was no longer filled with the previous excitement; there was only trepidation and nervousness.

Since other Nine Clans members could have died within the spatial realm, then Ginger Clan members also likely perished here.

The second space was empty, containing absolutely nothing.

In this way, Ginger Cloud continuously entered one space after another. Soon, he had already walked through five spaces.

Of the five spaces, two were empty, while the other three contained skeletal remains, with the largest number exceeding fifty.

Jiang Yun's heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

Because, at least from the current situation, it seems that the members of the Nine Clans who are trapped in this faraway land have all perished and no longer exist.

Now, there are still four spaces left. The Ginger Clan and the predecessors of the Medicine God must be within two of these spaces.

But at this time, Ginger Cloud's steps became a little unsteady, and there was hesitation in his heart, so much so that he didn't even want to continue stepping into the next four spaces.

"It's going to be alright, it's definitely going to be alright. Grandpa and them are just locked up here, but it's only for a hundred years."

As the patriarch of the Ginger Clan with his power and influence, he is surely capable of protecting all members of the clan and preventing them from resorting to despair and suicide.

"Even the venerated alchemists wouldn't be in any danger. He is a master alchemist, a soul cultivator, and belongs to the Soul Clan."

Although he has been imprisoned here for a long time, even if his body decays, his soul must surely have a special way to continue existing!

The words tumbling from his lips, almost like a murmur, were like a source of courage for Gingercloud, bolstering him and giving him the strength to finally grit his teeth and step into the sixth space.

Every space in Heaven's Edge, is exactly the same. Even the positions of the corpses within each space are identical.

Therefore, having experienced the previous five spaces, Jiang Yun already knew that he only needed to take a hundred steps to know whether there was anything in this space.

Now, in this sixth space, Jiang Yun lowered his head, taking every step slowly, even counting out the steps he took as he walked.

Seventeen, eighteen… ninety-nine, one hundred!

After the number was uttered, Ginger Cloud steeled her nerves once more, raising her head abruptly to look directly ahead.

And this sight that he saw at first glance, made him stand dumbfounded on the spot!
