returned to Danlingzong.And Yuji, who had always remained within the temple, with a heart hanging in anticipation, finally let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the three.But before she could even spe...Just as this transparent film began to condense, Jiang Yun, who had long been poised and ready for anything, surged with light in his eyes. With a flash of his figure, he unhesitatingly followed the direction of the film's condensation.

When the membrane congealed into a single point, Jiang Yun's feet landed precisely on that indicated spot.

Looking down, Jiang Yun discovered a stone, no, a tiny pebble, casually embedded within the mountain body.

This pebble is no bigger than a mung bean, utterly unremarkable.

If it weren't for Jiang Yun personally witnessing the entire process of the transparent film being torn apart, he would have doubted whether he had made a mistake.

But the light spot after the film condensed, just happened to correspond to this small stone.

Although he had already seen the small pebble, Jiang Yun did not rush to take it out. Instead, he continued to release his divine sense and probed towards the stone.

The divine consciousness sank into the pebble, finding nothing at all.

It seems, this is really just an ordinary stone, much like when Jiang Yun had previously used his divine sense to search the entire mountain.

However, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry.

Although I still don't know the truth and haven't figured out what my master left for me, at least I have been following the clues left by my master and Yuan An step by step, and that led me here.

Moreover, there are also cultivators in this original realm.

Even the Heaven-Honoring Lords occasionally come here.

If what the master left behind was too easy to find, wouldn't it be possible for others to discover it

Therefore, Jiang Yun sat down cross-legged and continued to release his divine sense. He not only searched for the stone but also gradually expanded its range.

...until he had searched the entire Hua Jiang Mountain once more, Jiang Yun's gaze finally settled on that stone.

"There were no other findings, all the answers should be within this stone."

In a low voice, Jiang Yun finally reached out and gently grasped the stone in his hand, once again extending his divine sense.

However, the stone still showed no reaction and there was nothing unusual about it.

Ginger lightly rubbed the stone, her brow furrowed slightly. "There's definitely something strange about this stone."

Since it still doesn't work, it can only mean that I haven't found the key to open this stone yet.

"Regardless of whether this stone was left for me by the master or someone else, opening its key should be like the Eight Hardship Techniques before it. Only a very small number of people will be able to master it."

"This key, perhaps it is some kind of power, or perhaps some kind of magic."

And among this very small number of people, I'm definitely included!

Besides the Eight Sufferings Techniques, what other powers and spells do Master and I possess

To be honest, although Gu Bulao is Jiang Yun's master, the techniques and cultivation methods he passed down to Jiang Yun are really not many.

"Nine Heavens Celestial Art!"

Ginger whispered, "Could it be the Nine Sacrifice Heaven Technique By sacrificing a part of me to this world, it opens this stone"

"But!" Jiang Yun looked up at the sky and said with a wry smile, "How much power can the heavens of this original realm give me"

Now Jiang Yun's cultivation base is at the third level of reincarnation, and his true strength is comparable to that of the third level of suspension.

An ordinary Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't even be his opponent.

If he were to go all out, destroying this original realm wouldn't be a difficult task at all.

Needless to say, the power wielded by Archangels and others is even greater.

If the secret within this stone were only unlockable through strength, it would have been discovered by others long ago.

Therefore, Jiang Yun ruled out the Nine Sacrifice Heavenly Art.

"If it isn't the Nine Sacrifices Heavenly Art, then could it be the Return to the Void Art!"

The art of returning to the void is quite possible. It was created by Gu Bulao, who had been stationed at Dao Xu for countless years, witnessing the fall of countless great paths.

To date, only three people have mastered it: Jiang Yun, Gu Bulao, and Qin Xiaoqi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun immediately cast the Returning to Ruins technique towards the stone.

However, the stone still did not react.

"It's not the Ruinous Arts!" Jiang Yun frowned and said, "Besides the Nine Sacrificial Heaven Art, the Ruinous Arts, and the techniques of the Human Dao, my master didn't teach me anything else."

Although there are Taoist techniques for dealing with the seven emotions and six desires in human affairs, how could a small stone possibly possess the seven emotions and six desires

Although he felt it was useless, Ginger Cloud still separately displayed the Taoist arts of seven emotions and six desires to the stone one by one.

In the end, the stone still did not react.

After numerous attempts, Jiang Yun's two eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

Because he had already tried every technique and magical power that both he and his master knew, he still couldn't open the stone and couldn't figure out its secrets.

"Wouldn't Yuan An know"

Thinking of Yuan An, Jiang Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that she had overlooked something.

Although Master had seen Yuan'an and hinted at something unusual, he probably didn't have the chance to tell Yuan'an about Huajiangshan and this stone in detail.

How did Nalan know that his master had left some clues on Huajiang Mountain, and even specially fabricated a love story to intentionally point out these clues, indicating that the Eight Sufferings Technique should be used to uncover the veil covering Huajiang Mountain

Moreover, the time period in which Yuan An fabricated that story, was it after the master disappeared or before

Gingercloud suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and returned to the tavern. He found the same clerk from before and asked, "Young man, when did that love story Yuan'an fabricated take place"

The fellow apparently didn't expect Jiang Yun to come back, he was stunned for a moment before saying: "I don't know exactly when it was fabricated, but it should have been a long time ago."

According to my previous companions, Mr. Yuan would tell this story every now and then, but since I came to this tavern, I've only heard him tell it once.

Then Jiang Yun followed up, "When did you hear this story"

The fellow pondered for a moment and said, "I reckon it's been four or five decades!"

Four or five decades!

Although the master disappeared only over twenty years ago, the time span of this story concocted by Yuan An far exceeds that.

Jiang Yun slowly said, "Whether it's the stones Master left behind on Huajiang Mountain, or the various arrangements he made, true time should have been a long time ago."

"Moreover, for some reason I don't know, Master had already greeted the original An before this."

"Even, it is possible that Yuan An made up the story, and has to tell it every once in a while, just as his master requested."

"The purpose is to let this story be passed down."

"That way, if Master and Yuan An encounter any danger or trouble, even death, this story can allow me, as well as some people close to Master, to find clues through it."

And besides, when I found that stone before, although I used the Taoist technique of Ai Bi Li, in reality, it wasn't.

"Wouldn't it be said that when the Master set up these things on Mount Huajiang, he did so even before he journeyed to the Dao Domain, even before he embarked on the path of cultivation"

In any case, the answer to finding the Stone Key should be hidden within that love story.

"Story, story..." Muttering those two words, Jiang Yun's eyes gradually lit up and said: "I understand!"

The next moment, Jiang Yun's figure had vanished and reappeared on Huajiang Mountain, standing in the same spot as before. He once again took out the stone.

Taking a deep breath, Ginger Cloud's hand surged with power, pouring it into the stone.

"Hum!"

Stones, suddenly jolted!o had their eyes lit up.Moluo's drastic change in attitude toward Jiangyun was not only due to the immeasurable potential Jiangyun displayed, but also because Moluo held a glimmer of hope that Jiangyu...
