Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 259 The Place Where Clouds Remain Unknown

Jiang Jian struggled to stand up, enduring the excruciating pain in his soul, and once again used the Ice Blue Glimmer.

The surging, chaotic spiritual energy was temporarily halted.

The acupoints and meridians of the limbs and bones also stopped cracking.

"The Purifying Divine Flame is of too high a grade; I can only use a small portion of it."

"These icy blue lights won't last long at all."

Jiang saw that his expression was cold as he carefully sensed the acupoints.

I roughly estimate that, given my current condition, I can only maintain this for half a day at most!

The backlash from the rules of the cosmos caused by failing to break through was terrifying.

If it weren't for his unwavering will, enduring immense pain, barely managing to regain his senses, and activating the icy blue light to forcefully suppress the attack, he would have been able to succeed.

He had already suffered a complete shattering of his soul and died on the spot!

Jiang Jian raised his head and tried to take a step, but was immediately struck by a piercing pain that spread throughout his body!

Blood seeped from his seven orifices, but he seemed oblivious, his face expressionless, and he walked step by step toward the edge of the array on the isolated island.

At this point.

Jiang saw a sense of coolness and clarity deep within her mind, a clarity she had never felt before.

His mind raced with thoughts.

In an instant, two methods came to mind!

"The first method is to find Shen Qingchan!"

"If its life-weaving divine power is used at full strength, it will definitely be able to alleviate the damage to the soul!"

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian walked to the array and stepped inside.

A tremendous pulling force was transmitted.

Just two seconds.

When Jiang Jian opened his eyes, he was already back at the edge of the Holy Mountain, outside the Breakthrough Hall!
Do not know why.

The sacred mountain was very quiet at this time.

Looking around, there were rows of white stone buildings, but not a single person in sight.

"The second method is to activate the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's staff, summon the guide, and return to Yinshan!"

Jiang Jian walked to the edge of the sacred mountain, looked down at the vast mountain scenery below, and made a plan in his heart.

The tenth hall in Yinshan.

Not only can it rotate its form, but it can also be used at will.

The consumption of the Ksitigarbha staff has been greatly reduced.

This staff is characterized by its ability to govern "rebirth".

This attribute also has the effect of stabilizing the soul.

only.

The true purpose of Ksitigarbha's staff is not here.

Its effect of stabilizing the soul is, after all, only incidental; it cannot heal the damage to the soul, and at most it can only maintain the original state.

Once this treasure is activated, the amount of divine soul energy it consumes is enormous.

Instead, the gain outweighs the loss.

Previously, Jiang Jian had never used the Ksitigarbha Staff, and that was precisely why.

But if at this moment, he were to return to the Tenth Hall of Yinshan.

When consumption is minimal.

Despite the unique properties of Ksitigarbha's staff, it is able to keep the soul intact.

This is extremely helpful in the current situation!
As the meridians ruptured, the damage was temporarily stopped.

The two acupoints, with their spiritual energy circulating naturally, gradually regained some of their spiritual power.

The backlash from failing to break through to the next realm was far too severe.

The Shenque (CV8) and Yongquan (KI1) acupoints show different types of damage, with cracks all over them.

But Jiang saw that the cultivation of the two realms here was too profound.

The use of icy blue light to suppress the backlash was timely.

This is why the two acupoints were not completely destroyed and can still be used temporarily.

"If it were someone else..."

"Failure to break through to the next realm will result in immediate death."

Thoughts are surging.

Jiang Jian's expression was icy, and she took a step forward.

He channeled his limited spiritual energy, and a dark phoenix appeared beneath him, speeding off towards the sea!
The Earth-Moon Academy was deserted, which was quite unusual.

But at this moment, Jiang Jian couldn't care less about any of that.

The dragon-bird beneath him was ethereal and semi-transparent.

Its flight speed was also much slower than usual.

The spiritual essence of the Divine Palace, once slightly restored, will be poured into the Dragon Sparrow's body to barely maintain its existence and prevent it from collapsing.

"The wondrous Yinshan Mountains, your guide!"

Standing atop the dragon sparrow, Jiang Jian suppressed his dizziness and extracted a wisp of divine soul power, which he then channeled into the Earth Treasury Staff.

Activating the token doesn't require much consumption.

Jiang Jian knew it clearly.

My current state is far too dangerous.

One wrong move and you could die here.

anyway.

They must all ensure that they can return to Yinshan anytime, anywhere!
If you go to the Autumn Water Palace in the Sea and don't find Shen Qingchan...

Or maybe.

Shen Qingchan couldn't help him.

He then needed to leave immediately, and through the guide, return to the Tenth Hall of Yinshan, slowly recover his acupoints and meridians, and search for the hidden trick left by the physician.

The lunar barrier is overwhelmed, and the sky is about to collapse.

The struggle for the position of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the wondrous Yinshan Mountains is also imminent.

If these problems cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

He would die in the struggle for the position of Ksitigarbha!
According to the rules of Wonderland.

The other nine palace masters are very likely all at the Divine Palace Realm!
If I cannot break through to the next realm, it would be extremely dangerous to fight against the Divine Palace with my current cultivation level!

"How will you be here!?"

A surprised voice rang in my ears.

Jiang met him expressionlessly, put away the Ksitigarbha Staff, and said, "Can you take me out of here?"

The guide clicked his tongue and replied, "If the distance is sufficient, I can use the power of the wondrous realm to forcibly teleport you here."

"But if it's the Yinshan Wonderland, which happens to be on the other side of the earth, and the distance is too far, then it can't be done."

After a while.

It examined it carefully and spoke again, "You're lucky. The coordinates of the Yinshan Wonderland are not far from Chang'an Prefecture."

"Are you coming back?"

Hear this.

Jiang Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Wait a little longer, I still have things to do."

His soul was shattered and he urgently needed to recover.

Although returning to Yinshan would allow it to maintain its original state and prevent it from continuing to crumble.

But there was no way to repair the crack.

Until then.

Even if the meridians and acupoints are fully healed, the injuries will not be completely cured.

With only the cultivation level of Yongquan, he could only fight against the other nine palace masters of Yinshan, who were at the Divine Palace Realm, and the disadvantage was too great.

"How did you end up like this?" the guide asked curiously. "Half of your meridians collapsed and your acupoints cracked, yet you're still alive and well. It's truly unbelievable."

Suddenly.

It seemed to have sensed something.

He paused, his words becoming more cautious.

"How could the hidden resources within your divine palace be so profound!?"

"But you are clearly still in the Spring-Gathering Realm!"

"Logically, the Divine Illumination Barrier should still be there!"

As they spoke, the guide grew increasingly puzzled.

Jiang remained silent, sitting down on the dragon sparrow's head and quietly recovering his spiritual energy.

My soul is torn apart, and my whole body aches.

It felt like being pricked by needles at all times.

He ignored the guide and, amidst the pain, his mind became even clearer.

I pondered carefully every detail about the doctor.

A memory quietly resurfaces.

It was the conversation I had when the doctor took my soul!

This memory was even hidden deep within my subconscious mind.

It wasn't until I went to the Hall of Enlightenment that I finally remembered!
A doctor once said something like this.

“I’m taking a piece of your soul as payment.”

"It's not so much to save more people."

Her words still linger in my ears.

Jiang's gaze grew even colder.

He even recalled the first time he met the doctor.

The doctor seemed to know everything about his sister's illness.

I was quite young at that time.

Although deep down, there are many defenses.

But he still made a deal with her.

"so."

Jiang Jian muttered to herself, "She's treating me like a medicinal herb."

"Medicinal herbs for treating illnesses and saving lives."

This moment.

When you fail to break through the barrier.

That mysterious feeling welled up from the depths of my mind.

The divine light barrier is now reduced to a thin layer.

Like a transparent water curtain, rippling with light.

It seemed as if with just a gentle touch, it would collapse and shatter, falling into the divine palace.

“My soul was cleansed by the divine fire of purification, and there was nothing unusual about it.”

Seeing the wall that seemed to sense divine illumination, Jiang had a vague idea in his mind.

If a doctor has indeed used such methods...

There's only one place.

It is the Divine Illumination Wall in front of the shrine, as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Her goal is probably to prevent me from breaking through to the Divine Palace realm."

"But the doctor never mentioned this at all."

As Jiang Jian pondered, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Ordinary living beings.

If one fails to break through to the next realm, one will die immediately.

Meanwhile, a faint icy blue light emanated from within him, forcefully suppressing the backlash from his defeat.

The divine barrier still exists, though only a thin layer remains.

However, the original, intact Divine Illumination Wall had long since fallen into the Divine Palace and become the foundation of his third realm!

If you take good care of your meridians and acupoints, you can replenish your spiritual energy.

That's when.

Bombarding the Divine Illumination Barrier again would be a piece of cake!
maybe.

We can also rely on the methods left behind by the doctors.

Within the rules of the cosmos, more matter is drawn out, constantly forming new divine illumination barriers, further enhancing the foundation of one's divine palace!

However, Jiang Jian understood even better.

Before attempting to break through to the next level, one must thoroughly understand the doctor's methods.

"correct."

The guide suddenly spoke, his tone enigmatic, "In the past two years, most of those favored by the Ten Palaces of Yinshan have ascended to the position of Palace Master."

"Only the Seventh Palace remains favored."

"It is still one step away from becoming the Palace Master."

"The competition for the position of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will begin soon."

"Given your current state."

"Tsk, tsk."

Its form was ethereal, projecting onto the back of the dragon sparrow, its eyes flashing.

Jiang Jian paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The guide stared at Jiang Jian and said, "You can't take that black wooden staff with you when you die. Why not give it to me before you die?"

Its expression was very serious; it wasn't joking at all.

Obviously.

As one of the guides to Yinshan, he had a considerable understanding of the other nine palace masters.

In its heart, it was almost certain.

Based on Jiang Jian's cultivation progress.

In the struggle for the position of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, defeat is inevitable!
"can."

Unexpectedly.

Seeing that Jiang's expression was calm, he actually agreed immediately.

He stood up, looked at the projection of the guide, and said softly, "If I really die, I will give you more than just the Ksitigarbha Staff."

"Even the Spirit-Guiding Jade of the Tenth Hall, I will personally issue the Reincarnation Order before my death to give it all to you and help you regain your freedom."

Hear this.

The guide was taken aback.

A few seconds later.

It snapped out of its daze and looked at the boy beside it.

I don’t know when it started.

The blood scabs on the boy's face had been completely washed away.

A soft golden light flowed around him, intertwining and transforming his robes into a flowing, beautiful white robe with gold threads.

The previous disarray is gone forever.

"only."

"That day will never come."

Atop the dragon-sparrow's head, a young man in white robes stood alone and spoke in a low voice.

His gaze swept across the mountains and rivers, looking ahead.
