Chapter 3972: The Man in White

Yue is my disciple, this old man, Sword Sect elder, Teng Lin!"Tenglin!Ginger Cloud remained unfazed by the name and identity revealed, but the crowd that had been silent as mice suddenly erupted into...The sudden eruption of blood mist made Jiang Yun's heart clench. He thought something had happened.

But when he saw where the blood mist was going, his heart not only calmed down, but a smile also appeared on his face.

Although these blood mists exploded and rushed into his organs, even his blood vessels and meridians, it wasn't an attack, but was absorbed in the same way! In short, these blood mists weren't absorbed by the Dantian, but by his own body! Ginger Yun's cultivation can be divided into two parts: physical cultivation and Dantian cultivation.

However, his physical body, since the time when he was in the gathering of realms of heaven, deliberately self-exploded to escape the control of the heavenly angels, after completing nine annihilations, has already reached a state of peak.

In his opinion, the strength of his physical body had already reached a certain limit and could no longer be further improved through self-cultivation. It could only be strengthened like other cultivators, as their cultivation realm advanced.

Therefore, for so many years, he has not paid attention to the cultivation of his physical body anymore. All his energy has been focused on improving his realm of cultivation.

But he didn't expect that the blood mist existing in this spatial rift would be absorbed by his own body.

And when these blood mists were completely absorbed, he could also clearly sense that his physical body had indeed become stronger again. This discovery was a huge surprise for Jiang Yun.

After all, he knew firsthand the benefits and conveniences a strong physical body could bring.

Ginger clenched his fists tightly and said, "Although I don't know what this place is, after killing Xing Yi, I will temporarily stay here, absorb the blood mist, and push my physical strength to the extreme before making any further decisions!"

"Now, let's look for Xing Yi first!"

Jiang Yun, while speaking, turned his head to look back.

The sheer amount of blood obscured his vision, making it impossible to see the rift anymore.

I wonder if Yue Rou and the others will come here, but they should be able to hear my name!

The reason why Ginger Cloud reported his real name in the ruins was naturally to let Ginger Yue Rou and other mirage clan members hear it! Although this would mean that if they entered the Four Realms Vault, there might be a possibility that Zhu Shao Shao and others would suspect his relationship with his father, this possibility was really too small.

At worst, I'll just say that "Ginger Cloud" is a fake name later.

Jiang Yun retracted his gaze, quickened his pace, and walked deeper into the blood mist.

As he walked, he naturally wouldn't waste time. He directly used his body to absorb the blood mist, trying his best to continue enhancing the strength of his physical body.

However, when he walked almost ten thousand zhang away, his footsteps gradually stopped, his brow furrowed again, and he turned to look in another direction.

For some reason, in that direction, Jiang Yun seemed to sense... a summons! — The fourth level of the ruins! In an area shrouded in blood mist, a figure was walking leisurely forward.

Of course, this person is Ji Kongfan.

Since being sent into the ruins, while Jiang Yun was pondering how to perform exceptionally well, Ji Kongfan didn't consider this aspect at all. Instead, he always walked in this blood-mist covered area, exploring the end of the blood mist.

Or perhaps he was using this opportunity to enter the ruins to search for his long-lost brethren of the Silent Clan! Since he knew nothing about what lay within the ruins, his method of searching was simply to choose a direction and walk until there was no further path.

This method is truly clumsy and barely effective at all, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Yet, this is Ji Kongfan's persistence.

But with his powerful strength, the blood mist here had no effect on him at all.

Over the past few days, he had a growing feeling that they were nearing the end of this area.

Indeed, after walking tens of thousands of miles, Ji Kongfan's gaze could faintly see a blood-colored city wall in the distance. It was only dozens of meters high but stretched endlessly.

Walking to the edge of the city wall, Ji Kongfan reached out and gently touched the wall. His palm actually went straight into the wall, and a tingling sensation like an electric shock ran through his palm.

This led him to mutter to himself, "These walls are not physical structures, but rather barriers formed by some kind of power."

"And it was clearly man-made."

The crimson hue on it was not the color of the prohibition itself, but rather the color imbued by the constant presence of these blood mists over the years.

"If I'm not mistaken, this prohibition was set up by those Quasi-Emperors to isolate each layer of the ruins."

And behind the walls lies another layer of ruins.

Ji Kongfan had also heard from Jiang Yun about the matter of dividing the ruins into eight layers.

The stratification of the ruins is not like a pagoda, vertically stratified, but rather on the same plane.

While it is called "layered," it essentially divides the already discovered ruins into eight areas.

Therefore, at this moment, Ji Kongfan walked in one direction to this place, and naturally realized that he had reached the fourth floor of the ruins, the end of a certain direction.

However, Ji Kongfan didn't know either. Crossing the city wall's prohibition would lead him to the deeper fifth layer of the ruins or a lower third layer.

However, Ji Kongfan didn't have the heart to know. He hadn't finished exploring the fourth level of the ruins and wasn't ready to leave just yet.

After looking at the forbidden area for a moment, Ji Kongfan withdrew his palm and was about to turn around and go back.

However, at that moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he abruptly turned his head to look to his right.

Through the blood mist, one could vaguely see a figure about ten meters away from him. It staggered out from within the city wall's prohibition and took several steps back before stopping.

This was a man in white, with a chill emanating from his body.

Not only did the air around him solidify as he retreated, but even from this distance, Ji Kongfan could feel a chill.

Because the blood mist was thick, and the man hadn't expected anyone else to be here, he didn't notice Ji Kongfan's figure.

After he stopped his advance, he raised his head and looked at the restriction in front of him. It rippled constantly like water, and he frowned, muttering to himself: "Something's not right, the power of this restriction has increased considerably compared to before!"

"And this is the forbidden passage to the third level of the ruins!"

"Throughout my journey, I effortlessly passed through the restrictions on the fifth and fourth levels. Yet, here at this level, I'm unable to proceed"

"Could it be that something happened in the three layers of the ruins"

Ji Kongfan remained silent, listening to the man's words. His heart was already filled with understanding.

Behind the restrictions of this city wall lies the ruins' three layers. This man in white should have passed through the restrictions on the sixth, fifth, and fourth layers of the ruins to arrive here.

The other party's destination should have been on the third floor or lower, but they encountered some unexpected events while passing through that layer of restrictions and were turned back.

This also made Ji Kongfan a little strange.

Logically speaking, all prohibitions, even if the power they contain differs, should be stronger the deeper they are.

Since the other party was able to come from the sixth floor smoothly to the fourth floor, they should be able to pass through this prohibition more easily.

Besides, the cold emanating from him could easily freeze the air. It was evident that his strength was at least that of a Heavenly Venerable. How could someone of such power be held back by this barrier

Although curious, Ji Kongfan was not interested in knowing the reason.

After glancing at the man in white for a moment, Ji Kongfan retracted his gaze and turned to leave.

But his turn, startled the man in white, causing him to suddenly turn his head and see Ji Kongfan who was about to leave. He abruptly spoke out, "You, stop!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!lthough the number of sword qi had become a single blade, the amount of yellow energy it contained was increasing, making this sword incredibly solid.This sword is entirely yellow, radiating a dazzlin...
