Chapter 138: Turning Calamity into Fortune

le puzzled and said, "Didn't that Zhou Dongqing daoist friend mention it to Brother Xiao"Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "He seemed to be talking about some kind of fight, but I didn't pay a...Jiang Yun had spent nearly half a year treating and detoxifying cultivators in Duoyao Ge. Although this did not affect the business of Yaoshengzong, news of his deeds had already spread throughout Yaoshengzong.

Therefore, this time Xiao Zheng and the three of them also wanted to see Jiang Yun, to see if he was truly as legendary as they said!

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Xie Xiaoyong's words, Xiao Zheng heaved a heavy sigh and wore an expression of regret on his face: "We arrived too late! The disciples in the shop went to Du Yao Ge yesterday. The shopkeeper Xia said that Gu Jiang left early this morning!"

"Ah" Xie Xiaoyong was also taken aback and said, "Could he be coming to Luo's house for the birthday celebration too"

It is said that Gu Jiang and Luo Lingxiao have a bit of bad blood between them, so they definitely won't come to the Luo family. And according to Xia Zhuang's words, it seems that Gu Jiang will not return to Duo Yao Ge!

"However, after this is settled, we should still go to Nannxing City in person to investigate."

Xie Xiaoyong also nodded and said, "It's necessary to go! A pharmacist who can refine a first-grade Heavenly Rank elixir and is proficient in medicine, if brought into the sect and accepted as a disciple, then their future prospects will be limitless!"

……

Luo Jia's arranged banquet was a delight for both host and guests. But once the feast ended and the numerous cultivators returned to their respective residences, they began to discuss Jiang Yun!

A cultivator who has completed the Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine zhang Reverse Demon Bridge and reached the tenth level of the Pulse Meridian!

It has to be said that many people truly feel sorry for and unfair to Jiang Yun.

Although some people had guessed it, the last terrifying demon that appeared was not from the Reverse Demon Bridge, but they still dared not speak out.

Because Ginger Cloud died on the Reverse Demon Bridge, even if the Question Dao Sect was furious, it would be impossible to directly attack the Luo family and launch a large-scale reprisal.

After all, the dangers of the Reverse Demon Bridge are well-known. If you die, you can only blame your insufficient strength.

But, if Jiang Yun died at the hands of the Luo family's secret scheme, then once the Wen Dao Sect knew, they would definitely wage war against the Luo family to the death.

In short, although Jiang Yun brought a huge shock to these cultivators, in their hearts, Jiang Yun was already a dead man, so they were just talking about it.

As night deepened, Luo's Castle, like a monstrous beast, sank into slumber. Suddenly, a muffled thunderclap exploded, accompanied by a lightning bolt that tore through the sky, illuminating the vast world and the abyss beneath the Inverse Demon Bridge.

As everyone knows, there is a vast swamp in this abyss. And at this very moment, within this unfrequented swamp, there sits a figure cross-legged!

It was the mere presence of this figure, that even if Luo Qing swept over it with his divine sense, he wouldn't be able to detect it.

This man is none other than Jiang Yun!

Outside his body, shrouded was the half-mouth of Qi that Master Gu Bulao had exhaled back then.

The ancient and immortal Dao Qi could deceive even the Heavenly Dao of the heavens and earth, let alone a mere Luo family.

At this moment, Jiang Yun not only didn't die, but instead prospered because of misfortune!

That devourer, which was said to be the Dao Demon Soul by Luo Lingxiao, was not a Dao Demon Soul at all. It was still demonic energy.

But it contains a trace of demonic energy imbued with the spirit of a demon!

This demonic energy is simply too powerful, so much so that it condenses and refuses to dissipate. I wonder what method the Luo family ancestors used to conceal it within this abyss of ten thousand fathoms deep.

Over time, it transformed into a swamp and became one of the Luo family's foundations.

Originally, Ginger Cloud was being swallowed by this demonic energy and was almost going to transform into a demon in an instant. But at the critical moment, he disregarded everything and forcefully channeled the demonic energy into his twelfth meridian!

Just like when he first swallowed three Qi-Nourishing Pills, there was too much spiritual energy, enough to burst his body. He could only consume it by taking beatings.

Too much demonic energy would turn him completely into a demon, and it also needs to be consumed, but demonic energy is different from spiritual energy, and it doesn't belong to him. Even if he gets beaten up, it's impossible to consume it.

Even with the vast space within the Refining Demon Brush, Bai Ze was exhausted from absorbing the demonic energy on the Reverse Demon Bridge. It was impossible for him to have the energy to absorb this even larger amount of demonic energy into the Refining Demon Brush again.

Therefore, Jiang Yun could only go all in!

Thus, as he channeled the demonic energy towards the twelfth meridian, he also released the half mouthful of Qi his master had sealed within him.

Otherwise, Tian Yan will inevitably reappear, and the commotion will certainly be much greater than when he last broke through his tenth meridian.

At the beginning, Ginger Cloud was still worried. He feared that his master's breath of spiritual energy could only last for half a year at most, and he didn't know if he could break through the final meridian within six months.

But when this demonic aura truly surged toward the twelfth meridian, he finally realized that his worries had been completely unfounded.

Because the power contained within this demonic aura was simply too overwhelming, it not only surpassed his physical strength but also far exceeded the power of Lei Jiutian's thunder!

That's why it's so powerful. According to Bai Ze, the reason is that this demonic energy contains the "Dao" of that Daoist demon!

After understanding this, Jiang Yun didn't need to worry about running out of time. Instead, he worried about whether his twelfth meridian could withstand the power within the demonic energy.

It was as if it were sweeping through a field of dry grass, in just one hour, almost half the impurities within the twelfth meridian had been shattered.

If we maintain this pace, it shouldn't take more than three hours to clear this meridian.

To know, when Ginger Cloud had cleared the tenth and eleventh meridians, it took at least two months even at the fastest.

Two months, three hours, the two are not comparable at all.

Naturally, such a fast speed of opening up the meridians also brings unimaginable pain.

Fortunately, at this moment, a sudden downpour came as a boon to Jiang Yun.

Although Ginger Cloud is still unable to use his spiritual energy at the moment, the lightning in the rain allows his Thunder Dao Body to absorb it, gradually recovering.

Moreover, with the ancient and timeless aura of concealment, Jiang Yun could even summon his physical body as well as his Dao body.

Under the combined efforts of two powers not belonging to this Shan Hai realm, his twelfth meridian finally withstood the terrifying power of demonic energy and gradually became more and more smooth.

……

The sky brightened quickly, although the rain didn't stop. However, this wasn't a problem for the Luo family at all. With hundreds of their subordinates working together, ten platforms were erected in just a short time.

Each platform is covered with a transparent raincloth, so there's no need to worry about the rain.

Under the guidance of Luo's servants, guests who came to celebrate his birthday arrived one after another at the side of this high platform. Even Xiao Zheng had to come, because Liu Hao and Xie Xiaoyong were invited to participate in the competition.

And according to statistics, nearly a thousand people participated in this competition.

Of course, some people were unwilling to participate. However, under the temptation of the generous prizes offered by the Luo family, in the end, all the cultivators at the Tongmai realm arrived.

Luo Baichuan, as the head of the family, personally presided over today's competition.

"Guests, you are all honored visitors to the Luo family. This competition is purely for entertainment purposes. Please do not take it too seriously and maintain harmony. The focus should be on learning and improving, stopping once we reach a satisfactory point."

"Our Luo family only has one participant, young master Luo Lingxiao. If you encounter him, don't be polite to him and let him see your abilities."

This remark immediately caused a burst of laughter and eased the tension in some people's hearts.

The method of competition is ten high platforms, each with about a hundred people, conducting simultaneous duels until the final winner is determined.

But as long as you can get into the top ten, my Luo family will give a generous gift!

As for the rules of the competition, there is only one: everyone must make a move! After making a move, you can choose to forfeit or concede defeat.

"Alright, I see you all are eager to begin. I won't waste any more time then. Let's start with the draw. After the draw is complete, everyone will head to their designated platform according to the number they drew, and then the competition will officially commence."

Although many people were a little puzzled by Luo Jiading's rule, they didn't think much about it.

Soon, nearly a thousand cultivators completed the lottery draw. Luo Lingxiao was ranked first on the high platform, Liu Hao third, and Xie Xiaoyong tenth.

As everyone gathered near their respective platforms, anticipating the start of the competition, a servant from the Luo family suddenly stumbled in, crashing right before Luo Baichuan. His face was pale with terror, etched with fear.

The eyes of the many guests were naturally all focused on him.

Luo Baichuan's face immediately turned cold as he said, "What happened Where is your manners"

The servant stammered, "No, no good, master, outside, outside..."

Seeing his own servants in such a state, Luo Baichuan's anger grew even greater: "What happened outside In broad daylight, could it be that ghosts appeared!"

"Really, what a surprise! That disciple from the Questioning Dao sect is back!"

First released on the Traditional Chinese Novels Networkad apples."However, since our sect has been able to stand firm in tens of thousands of Dao realms for so many years, it is enough to show that we are not as weak as fellow Daoists think!"Since the fau...
