The World that Tao Rules, Volume 16, page 6
Breaking the Nine Clans Tao Seal with his own power was impossible.
Therefore, the only remaining option was to kill the Taoist Lord's clone in the Land of Fallen Realm!
At that moment, Lv Lun was startled awake by Jiang Yun's words, her face showing increasing shock. She asked, "Are you going to kill Taoist Lord's clone?"
"Yes," Jiang Yun replied.
Jiang Yun, with a fierce look on his face, slowly stood up.
Since he saw no hope of reaching the Earth Protection Realm, his closed-door cultivation this time came to an end.
Lv Lun then asked, "Do you know how strong Taoist Lord's clone is?"
"No matter how strong, he is not immortal," Jiang Yun stated.
A gleam of ferocity flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes as he said, "Besides, it's only his clone here. His clone can't possibly be as powerful as the real him!"
Jiang Yun was now fully committed to his decision. While he knew that killing Taoist Lord's clone sounded like a fantasy, he had no other choice.
If he didn't kill Taoist Lord's clone, his cultivation would forever remain stuck at the peak of Dao Spirit, unable to progress further.
"How are you planning to kill him?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun asked back, "Senior Lv, do you know why I have the Nine Clans Tao Seal on my body?"
"Also, you mentioned Taoist Lord at first, but then why did you change and think it was a clone of Taoist Lord here in The Land of Fallen Realm?"
"For the first question, I have only heard of the Nine Clans Tao Seal, but I don't know why it is on you!"
Lv Lun answered without hesitation, "The answer to the second question is simple. If the myriad Tao World belongs to Taoist Lord, then The Land of Fallen Realm belongs to the nine silent clans!"
"If Taoist Lord attacks the nine silent clans, then the nine silent clans will naturally not let the original Taoist Lord enter here."
"Therefore, Taoist Lord can only send his clone here as a mortal without any memories, cultivation, or bloodline related to the original self."
"This approach is somewhat risky even for Taoist Lord because you know that Tianluo won't spare any mortals entering The Land of Fallen Realm."
"Hence, it is not difficult to guess that Taoist Lord must have gone through numerous efforts to successfully send a clone here."
"He didn't dare to wake up his clone for years, so his clone must have been living as a human until recently when he finally woke up!"
"This awakening can only be done with external force. If I'm guessing right, it should be the 'new person' I sensed entering The Land of Fallen Realm last time."
"The Taoist Lord woke up his clone at this time not only for you, but also to enter the Nine Silent Realms!"
Lv Lun's thoughts were incredibly meticulous.
Based on just a few facts, Lv Lun's deduction about the Taoist Lord's clone was almost spot on.
After listening to Lv Lun's analysis, Jiang Yun keenly grasped a key point, "Since the Taoist Lord's main body is not allowed to enter The Land of Fallen Realm, wouldn't his clone also face rejection once awakened here?"
"Yes!" Lv Lun nodded, "Even as a clone, he would definitely be restricted by this place in some way."
"But since the Taoist Lord dared to wake up his clone, there must be some precautions in place."
Jiang Yun nodded in agreement, no longer asking questions, but Lv Lun couldn't help but inquire again, "How do you plan to kill the Taoist Lord's clone?"
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "There's no other way, but since we're in The Land of Fallen Realm, the Taoist Lord's clone may be limited in some way. Also, his clone is definitely weaker than his true self..."
"Even though I can't kill him, maybe someone else can!"
Upon hearing this, Lv Lun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Tianluo?"
"Exactly, Tianluo's power shouldn't be weaker than the Taoist Lord's clone, and Tianluo is looking for me while the Taoist Lord's clone is also looking for me. If handled properly, maybe we can make them fight each other!"
Seeing the determination in Jiang Yun's eyes, Lv Lun thought that this plan might work, but achieving it would require careful planning.
After all, the two people Jiang Yun wanted to outsmart were the supreme being of the Tao World and the strongest in The Land of Fallen Realm.
If he made a mistake, he would face dire consequences!
Lv Lun didn't pursue the topic further and changed the subject, "With more than two years until the opening of the Nine Silent Realms, what are your plans?"
"To kill!"
Jiang Yun spoke softly, his voice calm and steady, but the fierce look in his eyes and the ominous aura emanating from him made Lv Lun pause.
"Tianluo, Taoist Lord, and many other cultivators are looking for me. Since I arrived in The Land of Fallen Realm, I have been silent for too long. Now, I will let them find me, come catch me, come kill me!"
This was Jiang Yun's plan!
For him, who was accustomed to killing, he knew very well that even showing a stronger strength than them would not help him stay alive.
Only killing can stop the killings!
Scaring them, making them too afraid to come after him, making them flee at the mere mention of his name!
Moreover, with each person he kills now, it adds a bit of safety for him when he enters the Nine Silent Realms later.
"Can you really kill so many people?"
Jiang Yun looked at Lv Lun and smiled slightly, saying, "Without trying, how would I know!"
Chapter 872: Guess What
Seeing the smile on Jiang Yun's face, Lv Lun suddenly felt curious.
Because he realized that, although he seemed to have some understanding of the young man in front of him, in reality, he knew nothing at all.
He could only tell that Jiang Yun was not arrogant or reckless.
Since Jiang Yun dared to think of killing to stop killing, he must have a certain level of confidence.
But he couldn't understand how, even with Jiang Yun's peak strength of the Earth Protection Realm, he could have the confidence to face the pursuit of at least a cultivator from the Sky Blessed Realm inside The Land of Fallen Realm.
Driven by curiosity, Lv Lun decided to temporarily postpone a plan he had already made.
"Since you want to try, I won't stop you, but is there anything else you need my help with?"
"But let me be clear, if you want me to help you deal with other cultivators, or with Tianluo or the Taoist Lord's avatars, that's impossible."
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "This is a matter between me, Tianluo, and the Taoist Lord, so it won't involve the elders."
Ever since starting his journey of cultivation, Jiang Yun never wanted to burden others no matter how difficult the situation. That's why he never thought of using Lv Lun to kill others.
After a pause, a hint of embarrassment showed on Jiang Yun's face as he said, "But I do have two things to trouble the elders with!"
Lv Lun smiled slightly and said, unsurprised, "Go ahead!"
"The first thing is, I hope the elders can send me to another world;"
Lv Lun nodded and said, "That's simple, what's the second thing?"
Jiang Yun touched his nose and said, "The second thing might be a bit much, I want to borrow the elders' formation or for the elders to tell me how to set up this formation."
This request was indeed a bit much, but Lv Lun raised an eyebrow and instantly understood Jiang Yun's plan.
If you can't win, run!
In one world, there is no escape, except through the world crack for a chance to flee.
After thinking for a moment, Lv Lun said, "I can't lend you my formation method, and even if I teach you how to set up formations, with your current strength, you won't be able to do it."
"But if you just want to travel within the world crack, that's not difficult."
"I'll give you a piece of Yin and Yang stone, fill it with spirit qi, and you will be able to move freely within the world crack!"
As she spoke, Lv Lun tossed a black and white stone, about the size of a palm, to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun was surprised as he accepted it, not expecting such a stone.
However, this made him realize that traveling within the world crack was also related to the power of Yin and Yang!
"The second matter is settled, now there's only the first one left, so tell me, what kind of world do you want to go to?"
"A larger one, preferably with no living beings on it!"
As Jiang Yun finished speaking, countless stones floating around suddenly accelerated their rotation, and then stopped abruptly just a moment later.
Next, as Lv Lun wielded a powerful spell, a desolate world appeared before Jiang Yun!
Although this world was also damaged, it was quite vast, spanning for tens of thousands of miles.
Looking around, all that could be seen was desolation, filled with silence. The land was pockmarked, much like the stones Lv Lun used for her spell.
However, Jiang Yun was very pleased with this world.
Despite its extreme desolation and lack of any signs of life, deep within the earth burned a vast and fierce underground fire.
There were several black rivers winding across the land, with their dark waters still flowing.
Jiang Yun quietly performed the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens, gaining only a small amount of the powerful blessing from the Heavens, but it was better than nothing.
"It's done!"
Jiang Yun took back his divine sense and gaze, solemnly bowed to Lv Lun and said, "Senior Lv has shown great kindness to me. If I can survive this time, I will do my best to fulfill the deal with Senior Lv."
The concept of great kindness is very significant for Jiang Yun, but what he said is true.
Without Lv Lun, he wouldn't have even reached the peak of the Tao Spiritual Realm. He would still be struggling to destroy the finger inside his body.
Not to mention, what Lv Lun told him about the heavens and the earth has also greatly benefited him.
Therefore, Jiang Yun is full of gratitude towards Lv Lun.
Lv Lun waved his hand and said, "It's just a small gesture! Since you have no other business, I will leave now!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yun walked to Nan Yunruo, extended a finger, and tapped on Nan Yunruo's forehead.
Then, a drop of blood seeped out from Nan Yunruo's forehead, and entered Jiang Yun's fingertip. It was the Desolate Mark he had drawn for Nan Yunruo.
Jiang Yun knew that when he fused with the nine Dao Spirits before, the uncontrollable Desolate Mark appeared, Lv Lun must have seen it, so he no longer hid it.
"Back then, to help Miss Nan escape from the search of the Desolate World tribe's sacred item, I had no choice. I hope Senior Lv can forgive my offense!"
When Jiang Yun voluntarily gave up Nan Yunruo's title as Desolate World Lord Slave, Lv Lun nodded and said, "We will meet again in the future!"
However, just as Lv Lun was about to leave with Nan Yunruo, Jiang Yun stopped him and said, "Senior Lv, I remember you said before that you only had one question you wanted to ask me. Can you ask it now?"
Despite all that Lv Lun had done for him, he hadn't done anything in return. So Jiang Yun wanted to help Lv Lun understand his doubts as a way of repaying him.
After a moment of confusion, Lv Lun understood Jiang Yun's intentions and smiled slightly, saying, "Well, actually, this question is not a big deal. Senior Medicine God created a sect in the Mountain-Sea World, and I also created one!"
"What I wanted to ask about was whether this sect still exists now!"
Jiang Yun was surprised but accepted the news.
"May I ask what kind of sect Senior Lv created?"
Lv Lun blinked and said, "Guess through my name, can you?"
"Lv Lun!"
Jiang Yun frowned, repeating Lv Lun's name a few times, quickly recalling the famous sects within the Mountain-Sea World.
After a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Jiang Yun's face, "Created by Senior Lv, could it be... Samsara Sect?"
Actually, this is not difficult to guess.
When you flip Lv Lun's name, it becomes Nylwon.
The character "Nyl" can be split into two mouths, but when put together it forms the word "cycle"!
Reincarnation!
"Haha, well done!"
Lv Lun laughed and nodded, saying, "Since you know about the Samsara Sect, it means that this sect still exists. How are they doing now?"
Hearing Lv Lun's confirmation, Jiang Yun couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
In fact, Jiang Yun knew nothing about the Samsara Sect, and there was no grudge between them.
The only connection between Jiang Yun and the Samsara Sect was his old enemy, Feng Wuji, who was in the sect.
Due to the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World, Feng Wuji had already left, and the Samsara Sect had almost disappeared. Most of its disciples probably became slaves of the Desolate World Lord.
However, Jiang Yun never expected to meet the founder of the Samsara Sect in The Land of Fallen Realm and receive a great favor from him.
Despite the emotions stirring in Jiang Yun, he suddenly had a realization.
He realized that he had overlooked something important!
Chapter 873: Casting the Net
Mountain-Sea World is like a prison, where the cultivators inside are either deceived into going to Dao Prison after entering the Sky Blessed Realm, or they stay in Mountain-Sea World.
However, now with Jiang Yun thinking of Feng Wuji, he realized that not all cultivators in Mountain-Sea World end up in these two ways, there are exceptions too.
For example, the Snow clan, the Eighteen Jiang Demon Alliance taken away by the ancient demon clan, and Feng Wuji!
These people left Mountain-Sea World before reaching the Sky Blessed Realm, so did they truly go to other worlds now, or were they sent to Dao Prison?
If it's the latter, then it's meaningless;
But if it's the former, then it means that even though Mountain-Sea World is a prison, there is a way to leave.
However, Jiang Yun knew that Lv Lun couldn't answer this question, so he didn't ask.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Yun said, "The Samsara Sect is still here, holding the top position among the five major sects in Mountain-Sea World, alongside the Grand Medicine Sect."
"Though they are facing some troubles now, I believe they will overcome them successfully!"
Jiang Yun's response was gentle, but Lv Lun's experience could tell.
However, he only glanced at Jiang Yun and didn't inquire further. He just laughed and said, "Surviving until now is already valuable. What's a little trouble?"
"Alright, Fang Mang, you have resolved something that was bothering me. I'm leaving!"
Amidst the laughter, Lv Lun raised his sleeve and lifted Nan Yunruo from the ground, disappearing with his formation.
Lv Lun didn't actually leave; he was protected by his formation, observing Jiang Yun silently from outside the world.
Upon learning about the chaotic power and the presence of the Desolate Mark on Jiang Yun, it made him determined to give Jiang Yun a gift!
However, before that, he wanted to see what Jiang Yun really relied on to single-handedly face the strong individuals above The Land of Fallen Realm Sky Blessed Realm!
After all, he still didn't understand Jiang Yun's past and strength.
This was the perfect opportunity to see if Jiang Yun was worthy of receiving his fourth gift.
No, this is not a small gift, but a truly great gift!
As Lv Lun left, Jiang Yun bowed towards the spot where Lv Lun had stood earlier.
After standing up straight, he didn't rush to get things ready, but instead sat down cross-legged.
In Lv Lun's mind, she thought Jiang Yun's idea of using killing to stop killing was unrealistic, but little did she know, Jiang Yun had dared to challenge Yue Qing from the Daoxing Realm even before stepping into the Tao Spiritual Realm.
