Chapter 647: Two Roads

s and see if you can gain some insights from them.In a matter of moments, the seven individuals each selected a position, aligned themselves with a specific rune on the furnace wall, sat cross-legged,...Hearing the deafening roar of the sea waves, like thunder, thirty thousand disciples of the Wudao Sect all revealed a look of excitement on their faces.

Especially the initial 50,000 disciples, some couldn't help but weep with their faces covered.

To be honest, when I left the Wudao Sect back then, not many of them believed that I would be able to live and reach the Road of No Return.

After all, even during peaceful times, it would be extremely difficult to safely reach the Path of No Return from the Taoist Sect. Let alone in this turbulent era!

But now, they only took nine months, and they have actually arrived from the Wen Dao Sect to this inescapable path!

This made them all a little disbelief, feeling like a dream.

Over the last three months, they hadn't encountered any battles at all. Not even the ever-present harassment from the sea creatures had been heard of.

Apart from the fact that almost all creatures are concentrated near the Road of No Return, the most important reason is that the Qindao Sect is now too powerful.

Three hundred thousand disciples, always maintaining their formation and advancing, coupled with the baptism of several life-and-death battles, has made every single one of them exude a strong fighting spirit and murderous aura!

This forced any force that might have had designs on them to choose retreat.

A flash of excitement appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes. He hadn't expected that he could bring so many disciples from the Wen Dao Sect to the Unreturning Road.

However, after the excitement, Ginger Cloud's face became even more serious.

What awaits everyone next will be even more brutal fighting.

Other factions, large and small, on the Five Mountains Path, even including the Lunhui Sect, might not dare to attack the Wenda Sect. However, the Sea Clan definitely would!

The Unreturning Road is built upon the Sea of Boundaries, spanning across it. That's the territory of the Sea Race.

> It's fine even if it's just ordinary sea creatures, but the Realm Sea Spirit that even a hundred thousand Mangshan warriors fear, is someone that Jiang Yun doesn't have even the slightest confidence in defeating.

However, there's no turning back once the arrow is loosed. Since we've already come this far, we have to fight for our lives!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun's voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Everyone, rest for one day!"

As he spoke, Ginger Cloud's palms moved rapidly.

Thousands of pills imbued with spiritual energy and lunar and solar essence soared into the air, exploding in unison with the rain. The resulting mist, thick and potent, engulfed the entire crowd of three hundred thousand.

Such things, Ginger Cloud had done many times along the way. It was precisely because of Ginger Cloud's alchemy and his Taoist arts that everyone could, even in this situation where spiritual energy was scarce, still maintain at least a usable amount of spiritual energy within their bodies.

Now, everyone knows very well that this is Jiang Yun's way of letting them all maintain their peak state and embark on a one-way journey to face the upcoming battle. They dare not slack off and hurriedly sit down to absorb the medicinal effects from the mist.

After finishing all of this, Jiang Yun walked to the top of the mist and sat cross-legged. His divine sense spread out in all directions, protecting everyone while also wanting to see what the Unreturning Path was like.

As for himself, besides possessing a spiritual energy that far surpassed that of others, he traveled using his physical strength, so he never worried about running out of spiritual energy.

……

A black road, ten zhang wide, spanning across the boundary sea!

The Unreturning Path, a lifeline carved out millennia ago by the powerful clans of Wushan Island, had long ceased to be a secret with the approach of the Calamity of Mountains and Seas.

It looks like an ordinary path, but in reality, it is made of a very hard diamond-like material. Countless formations and prohibitions are hidden within its structure.

These formations and prohibitions not only brought out the characteristics of earth, water to the fullest, but also made the defenses of the Unreturning Road extremely powerful.

Therefore, even if the surrounding waves are towering, the road back is not affected at all. Under the shroud of the formation, it completely isolates the seawater.

Not even a drop of seawater could fall on the road not taken.

However, because the sea level was bound to rise constantly, and it was impossible to enter the sea when building the one-way road, the one-way road wasn't static.

The entire road will keep shaking with the impact of the seawater.

In short, it floats on the seawater. It's more like a bridge than a road.

The formations within the Diamond Sutra can block seawater, but they cannot withstand attacks. Furthermore, if one's form is unstable, there is a high risk of falling into the sea.

And once it falls, it will be swallowed by the sea in an instant and buried at the bottom of the ocean.

For this long-famous dead end, Jiang Yun only glanced at it because his attention was drawn to the surroundings of the dead end!

The seawater near the Unreturning Road was no longer the blue that Jiang Yun had seen at first. Instead, a faint pink hue permeated the blue.

Especially on the side of the road not taken, there was another big road!

A road made entirely of corpses!

Countless corpses, warped and soaked in seawater, were piled together like bricks, running parallel to the path of no return and extending into the depths of the Boundless Sea, with no end in sight.

And in the surrounding sea of this corpse-strewn road, one could see countless marine creatures floating up and down.

Some of them hid in the sea, while others sat directly on the road of corpses, staring menacingly at those on shore.

And even there were sea creatures, driving all kinds of fish to tear at the flesh on those corpses.

On the shore of the road that leads nowhere, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there were throngs of people, shoulder to shoulder, densely packed with countless beings. They gathered together according to their regions and their respective sects and clans.

Those who can make it here are basically cultivators, and they are all considered to have considerable strength. Many ordinary people and beasts couldn't complete such a long journey at all. Either they would have died along the way or be waiting to die.

However, this is not all of the souls who have gone to hell.

Because before them, countless beings had eagerly taken the path of no return.

But the result was that too many creatures fell from the road into the water and were killed by countless sea creatures who had been waiting forever in the sea.

And they built a path out of their corpses!

Looking at this path of corpses, although these people knew the Great Calamity of Mountains and Seas was imminent, they didn't have the courage to step onto this road of no return. They could only sink deeply into despair.

This path, once considered the lifeline for all creatures, has now truly become a one-way road to nowhere!

Seeing this scene, the murderous intent in Jiang Yun's eyes surged wildly!

Although he had long known that the Sea Spirit intended to exterminate all life on Wushan Island, seeing the path paved with countless corpses with his own eyes made him, who was usually so calm, feel an overwhelming urge to embark on a one-way journey and kill every single sea creature.

However, when he saw the 300,000 disciples of the Wentiao Sect, who were completely unaware of what was happening within the mist, he knew he had to remain calm.

Once they set foot on the path of no return, among these 300,000 disciples, who knows how many will lose their lives in this sea of suffering and become part of that road of corpses!

One day passed quickly. Three hundred thousand disciples woke up one after another, each of them refreshed and full of energy.

And Ginger Cloud didn't tell them about the brutal scene he had seen, he just walked to the front of the team and said in a faint voice, "Let's go!"

Although his voice was calm, the chill hidden within it froze the rainwater around him.
