Chapter 3023: Taking the Initiative to Give Up (Revised)

ength to successfully pass through the Five Peaks and earn the recognition of the five artifacts are eligible to step upon the staircase they form.Otherwise, even if you manage to open the eighth floo...Jiang Yun continued, "The Dao Ruins is the place where all kinds of Daos return after their demise."

In essence, all the great principles are like living beings. They are constantly appearing and reappearing in an endless cycle.

"But, after living beings die, their souls return to the Underworld and are reborn into the cycle of reincarnation."

While the Great Dao returns to the Dao Ruins after death, it will not be reborn from the Dao Ruins.

In short, the Dead Realm can be seen as a space that transitions from death to life, with both entry and exit. However, the Dao Ruin is only an entry point, with no way out.

Through the insights left by his master, Ginger Cloud gained a deeper understanding of Dao Ruins.

However, regarding how each Great Dao was born, although Ginger Cloud had once considered this question, he still couldn't find a precise answer.

He could only speculate that some sentient being must have cultivated and comprehended a certain Dao, after which this Dao was born.

Moreover, this kind of grand principle that is born can be either single or multiple.

For example, Ye Guchen's Way of Refining Demons is a solitary existence.

Because throughout history, only Ye Guchen comprehended the art of demon refining, and the methods used by other demon refiners are all derived from Ye Guchen.

This is just like the source of Mieyu, Ye Guchen's comprehension of the way to refine demons that was born, is the only source!

And all cultivators are most familiar with the Dao of Fire, which has many.

Because not all cultivators who comprehend the Way of Fire derive it from their predecessors, from those who came before.

Many people have attained the Way of Fire through their own enlightenment without the guidance or help of others.

Every enlightened person can give birth to a way of fire.

This also means that the number of "living" Daos in this world is definitely far less than the number of Daos buried in Dao Ruins.

Because some great paths, though they may have once been born, if no one else can comprehend them after their death, then such paths will naturally cease to appear in the world.

But, this already dead avenue, in the ruins of the Dao, still exists!

And, this existence, is no longer singular, but a superposition.

For example, the path of fire, in the ruins of Dao, at least thousands of cultivators on the path of fire were buried within its graveyard!

And the power of Dao Ruins originates from all the perished and deceased Daos.

Of course, this also resulted in the Fire Dao's power being extremely powerful, because it was stacking the power of these thousands of Fire Daos together.

If Jiang Yun could fully exert the power of the fire path within his Dao origin, if he encountered someone who also practiced the fire path, he could completely crush and instantly kill them.

One Fire Dao, and thousands of Fire Daos, are fundamentally incomparable.

This is the power of Dao Xu!

In the Dao Ruins, there were countless Daos buried within. Jiang Yun couldn't even begin to calculate how many.

In Jianyun's view, Dao Xu was equally unfathomable. Even if one dedicated their entire life to it, they might not be able to fully comprehend all its secrets.

"No wonder Master would always remain within the Dao Domain. I also wonder how much power Master could unleash from the Dao Domain."

The more avenues one controls, and the deeper their understanding of a particular avenue, the greater the power they can wield over Dao Ruins.

After a moment, when Jiang Yun was certain that this ruined path finally acknowledged him, he suddenly opened his hand and struck out several seals, aiming them at the ruined path.

"Boom!"

The entire Dao Ruins trembled violently, and gradually rose into the air until it finally transformed into a beam of light and entered Jiang Yun's body.

And as the ruins of the Dao entered his body, Jiang Yun felt a distinct sense of deathliness on him.

Ginger Cloud didn't think much of it and opened the domain map again. He found himself in the underground world beneath the Two Realms Flower.

The eighteen petals of the Two Realms Flower were nearly completely closed, and above them was a vortex tens of thousands of feet in size.

Through the vortex, one can faintly see a multitude of figures standing within.

Jiang Yun originally worried that Si Lingxiao wouldn't be able to delay for too long, and it was very likely that the people from the Eight Departments of Heaven had already entered the lower realm. But seeing this scene, he couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Obviously, Si Lingxiao successfully prevented the Eight Departments' powerful figures from entering.

Ginger Yun sank his voice and said, "Miss Xiao, I'm here!"

"Ginger Big Brother!"

Si Lingxiao's voice immediately rang out, clearly also letting out a breath of relief.

Si Lingxiao's people are not here because she has an instinctive fear of this place.

After all, she was the fruit borne from the Two Realms Flower. Once she returned here, she always felt that she would be devoured by the Two Realms Flower once again.

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Xiaogou, you've worked hard. From now on, I'll take care of this!"

Si Lingxiao opened his mouth and said, "Brother Jiang, I'm not working hard. In fact, I haven't done anything. It was them who suddenly took the initiative to give up entering our world."

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "What do you mean they gave up on their own"

Si Lingxiao replied, "They had just made preparations to enter, and I even saw someone's figure about to penetrate the vortex, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly stopped. That person also retreated."

And until now, they haven't moved again.

Jiang Yun was also a little surprised, naturally unable to figure out what those people had encountered.

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "No matter the reason, this is good news for us. First, disperse your power and open the Two Realms Flower!"

"Great!"

Si Lingxiao naturally trusted Jiang Yun one hundred percent and didn't even ask how Jiang Yun planned to stop the eight Heavenly Lords from entering.

After a response, the eighteen petals of the Two Realms Flower slowly began to bloom again.

But when the Two Realms Flowers fully bloomed, Jiang Yun also waved his sleeve. A vast Dao Realm surged out from within him, almost completely enveloping this world.

At this moment, Jiang Yun didn't know that if he didn't throw Dao Xu out now, or even did nothing at all, it would actually prevent the Eight Departments Heavenly Lords from entering and avoid the start of a great war.

It's a pity that Jiang Yun doesn't have the ability to foresee the future!

Next, Jiang Yun's hands danced continuously, streaks of dao patterns appearing and vanishing into the Dao Ruins, causing its area to shrink rapidly. Finally, it condensed into a square with a radius of ten thousand zhang, perfectly blocking the vortex below.

Jiang Yun reached out again and clapped his hands, waves of qi bursting from the tomb and converging into a massive vortex.

From afar, the two whirlpools look as if they are overlapping.

Looking at this vortex, Ginger Cloud's heart, which had always been hanging, finally slowly let go.

Because the Dao Ruins are about to be completed, once successful, anyone who enters the Lower Realm through the vortex will be blocked by the vortex of Dao Qi.

If the other party makes a forced move, unless they can directly shatter the entire vortex, even if they can enter the vortex, they will only be sent into the Dao Ruins and will not truly enter this world.

However, at this very moment, a puzzled voice suddenly rang out from within the vortex connecting the celestial realms: "What is this!"

Then, a cloud of black mist surged out from the vortex, carrying an immense aura, and plunged directly into the vortex formed by the Dao Qi.

This vortex hadn't fully formed yet. As the black mist surged in, the vortex trembled madly, clearly unable to withstand its power and showing signs of imminent collapse.

Once the vortex collapsed, Jiang Yun knew that all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Since the people of the Eight Departments have already sensed the existence of the vortex, they will inevitably make a move again, and even directly enter the lower realm.

Therefore, Jiang Yun knew that no matter what, he had to ensure the formation of this vortex.

Without any hesitation, Ginger Cloud suddenly took a step and stepped into the ruins of the Dao.

Streams of golden light erupted from Jiang Yun's body. As the Primordial Dao Physique manifested, countless runes surged from all directions into the Dao Ruins, causing all the graves and tombstones to vibrate rapidly. This propelled even more Dao Qi towards the vortex, effectively countering the black mist. it were moving much slower than usual.There is nothing more painful than waiting to die.Even if possible, he wanted to simply end his own life, so as to avoid having to bear the threat of death getti...
