gate is open for a year. Even if you wait until the last day and enter then, it will be in time.Driven by this idea, the crowd, after their astonishment, gradually dispersed. Some gathered in small gr...Back in the Shan Hai Realm, Jiang Yun continued flying south until he returned to the Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains!

To say that within the realm of Shan Hai, the only thing still keeping Jiang Yun's heartstrings tied was the Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains.

Although Fang Mang once said that even if he was swallowed by the boundary sea, nothing would happen to him, Jiang Yun still couldn't rest assured.

Now, he stands in the sky above Mount Shiwanmang, and through the clear water, he can see Mount Shiwanmang that has already been submerged in the boundary sea.

And all around Mount Mangshan, he sensed a faint ripple of energy.

This aura, it belongs to Fang Mang!

Closing his eyes, Jiang Yun carefully felt that faint breath. He seemed to see Fang Mang, towering over everything, at the moment when the great calamity of mountains and seas descended. With his hands outstretched, he used his own body to protect the entire Mangshan Mountain and all the countless monster races who hadn't left within it.

"I see!"

Jiang Yun understood. Fang Mang, in order to protect these demon clans, didn't hesitate to deplete his own cultivation and sealed off the entire Mang Mountain, causing himself and those demon clans to fall into slumber.

Such a slumber, with Gingercloud's current abilities, is impossible to awaken. But even if it were possible, Gingercloud wouldn't attempt it.

Because once Fang Mang wakes up, these similarly slumbering demon races will be directly drowned by the seawater.

"Big Brother Fang, as long as Jiang Yun doesn't die, one day, Jiang Yun will make this sea water retreat and allow the Hundred Thousand Rough Mountains to return to their original state. By then, Jiang Yun will come and wake you up!"

Jiang Yun cupped his hands and bowed deeply to the hundred thousand Mang Mountain warriors below him.

After straightening his body, Jiang Yun did not step into Mang Mountain or go to see the Jiang Village he had built. He didn't want to disturb Fang Gege's sleep, so he chose to turn and leave.

This time, his direction of travel was north!

This was the valley where the Xue clan lived in Beishan Prefecture back then!

Beneath that mountain valley, there lay a nine-ringed chain of snow formed by Xue Mu Cheng. Even a wisp of Xue Mu Cheng's divine consciousness remained.

Ginger Cloud didn't know if that sliver of divine sense was still there, but her own purpose remained: the Nine Snows Interlocking Array.

He wanted to learn the Jiuxue Lianhuan formation as much as possible. Even if he couldn't master it, at least he had to memorize the formation's arrangement thoroughly.

Because this is one of the means he's prepared to use against the border patrol!

Flying through the air, looking down at the desolate Wushan Island, Jiang Yun's heart was filled with an indescribable heaviness. This only intensified his hatred for Hai Sheng!

However, after seeing the true strength of Hai Changsheng, he knew very well that as long as he was in the place where Jiehai was located, even if he reached the Tianyou Realm, he would still not be his opponent.

So, this deep grudge, I don't know when I'll be able to settle it with him.

Finally, Jiang Yun arrived at the valley where the Xue clan had once lived in Beishan Prefecture. Looking down from above, he couldn't help but think of the Xue clan and Xue Qing.

I wonder if they are still well!

He shook his head, Jiang Yun pushed aside these distracting thoughts and directly stepped into the sea.

Beneath the sea, the Nine Snows Linked Formation still exists, and at the deepest part of the formation lies a snow tomb.

Upon a mound of snow, sat a young man, no bigger than a palm, ethereal in form.

As Ginger Cloud arrived, his eyes snapped open, and a furious expression spread across his face. He gritted his teeth and snarled, "Damn it, this kid finally came back again!"

"But it's really strange. Since this kid has already crushed the formation stone containing my breath, with Father's power, he should definitely be able to sense it. But how come, after so long, Father hasn't sent anyone to find me"

"It seems like if I want to leave, I'll have to figure something out with this kid!"

He stood up, the man swayed once, and transformed back into his appearance from Xue Mu City. He swiftly dashed towards the center of the linked formation.

He had no idea that his father had already sent people to look for him. Unfortunately, they were driven away by Gu Bulao and didn't even get into the Shanhai Realm.

Not only that, but Gu Bulao also instructed him to tell the others that for the next hundred years, the Qidao sect was forbidden from entering the Shanhai Realm even a single step.

Otherwise, extermination of the clan!

Although the Sect of Seeking the Tao knows he is within the Sea-Mountain Realm, now that a century has passed, they still dare not send anyone to look for him.

As for the reason, I'm afraid only the Qu DAO Sect themselves understand.

Standing before the Nine Snow Lianhuan Formation, Jiang Yun didn't hesitate for a moment. He strode directly into it, effortlessly passing through the two smaller formations in front and arriving before the third one.

The number of snowflakes forming the third small formation has reached eighty-one, and the variations contained within it exceed seven hundred.

If it were the old Jiang Yun, he probably wouldn't dare to step foot here.

But after so many years, his understanding of the changes in the two previous small formations has been fully integrated.

Besides personal experience, his skill in formations greatly improved. Therefore, although this third small formation appears dazzling at first glance, he is confident he can crack it open.

However, just as he was about to step into the formation, a flash appeared before his eyes, and "Xue Mu Cheng" reappeared in front of him.

"Little buddy, you're finally back!"

Looking at Xue Mu Cheng smiling in front of him, Jiang Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, but they quickly returned to normal. He smiled slightly and said, "It seems like you've been waiting for me all along!"

Back then, when Jiang Yun arrived here, his cultivation was only at the Fudi realm.

But now he is already at the ninth level of the Cave Heaven, his true strength comparable to that of a Dao Spirit. Therefore, he saw through the illusion at a glance and realized that the phantom before him was not Xue Mu Cheng!

This naturally surprised him, and he couldn't understand what kind of person the other party was.

But this did solve his confusion. Xue Mu Cheng set up the Nine Snow Chain Formation here not because it contained some great treasure, but to trap the person impersonating Xue Mu Cheng!

Xuemù Chéng, the number one demon of the Shan Hai realm back in the day, was able to break through to the Heavenly Favor Realm even under Heaven's constraints. And he could only be contained by formations, so his origins were naturally not simple either.

At this moment, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think of Dugu Wen and Dao Yuanzhi. It also allowed him to truly understand the feeling Bai Ze had mentioned more than once.

The Shanhai Realm, or the Shanhai Wasteland, is truly peculiar. It harbors too many unbelievable things and people!

The man nodded. "That's right. I've been waiting for you these past few years. I thought something might have happened to you. Now that I see you're unharmed and your cultivation has advanced so much, I can finally rest easy."

Ginger looked at him with a half-smile, "Thanks for your concern, but what you're really worried about is if I have an accident, then no one can release you, right"

The man was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter. “Haha, it’s been years! You’ve really impressed me! I didn't expect you to have figured it out. You're right, I am not Xue Mu Cheng!”

As soon as the words left his lips, the man returned to his original form. He looked straight at Jiang Yun with his head held high and said: "To be frank with you, my name is Mu Shaofeng. I am a Daozi, the Daozi of the Qudaozong, one of the Nine Great Sects!"

"Back then, I accidentally strayed into your Shan Hai realm. Unexpectedly, I was trapped here by Xue Mu Cheng. As long as you let me out, I can bestow upon you immeasurable fortune and take you back to the Qudao sect with me."

"As you are, you couldn't possibly imagine. Our world is far, far superior to yours..."

"Wait a minute!"

Looking at Mu Shaofeng's proud and talkative face, Jiang Yun couldn't help but interrupt: "I don't think I've ever mentioned my identity, have I"

"You" Jiang Yun interrupted Mu Shaofeng's words, causing a look of displeasure to appear on his face. He said with disdain, "What kind of identity could you possibly have"

"My name is Jiang Yun, and I am the current head of the Wudao Sect!"

"If I recall correctly," Jiang Yun said lightly, "our Wudao Sect is also one of the Nine Great Sects, isn't it"
