by step to unravel its secrets.In the beginning, the progress of this research was naturally very slow.But as he gradually became familiar with it, his speed increased, and he was ultimately able to...Half an hour later, a storage magic artifact appeared in front of Jiang Yun out of thin air.

Then, after Jiang Yun's divine sense swept across it, he smiled and cupped his fists in a salute towards Taoyuan City. "Thank you, three!"

With these manjulika, I should have enough to cultivate a spirit!

Jiang Yun retreated back into the formation again.

……

Just as Jiang Yun was about to begin his second closed-door training, outside the Dao San Palace responsible for guarding the Path Prison, another uninvited guest appeared.

This man was dressed in black, his face stern and cold. Behind him hung a blue sword, and his whole body emanated a chilling aura.

If Gingercloud could see this person, she would surely recognize him at once—it was the Border Guard Yueqing!

At this moment, Yue Qing's face was pale, and his already cold eyes were now filled with a glimmer of hatred.

Three years ago, even though he finally sent Jiang Yun into the Dao Prison with his own hands, Jiang Yun also injured his Dao Spirit with a scattering spirit whip at that time, leaving him unable to fully recover until now.

Therefore, his hatred for Ginger Cloud had reached its peak.

Standing outside the San Gong of Daomen, Yue Qing cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Yue Qing, the emissary of the Void Hall, requests an audience with the Daoist Master!"

As his words fell, the tightly shut doors of the three palaces creaked open a sliver. A young man in golden robes stepped out from within.

Although he was unremarkable in appearance, his eyes glittered with golden lightning.

"Seeing Yue Qing outside the palace, a look of surprise appeared on the man's face as he said, "Brother Yue, how could you have time to come here"

Yue Qing didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the opening of the San Gong gate with reverence and caution.

Jin Shan Nan zi momentarily smiled slightly and said, "Rest assured, the palace master is currently in seclusion. Unless there's a major event, he won't appear."

Hearing this, Yue Qing finally let out a breath and relaxed. A bitter smile appeared on his face: "Brother Lei Ling, don't you still know the reason for my visit"

The man in gold armor named Lei Ling was stunned at first, but then he suddenly realized and exclaimed, "You came for Jiang Yun!"

After a pause, Lei Ling frowned slightly and said: “However, three years ago, Brother Yue already greeted me, and I also instructed them. Why is Brother Yue still here in person now”

Yue Qing gritted his teeth, the wry smile on his face transforming into anger. "Brother Lei, you are unaware that my hatred for Jiang Yun has seeped into my very bones, causing a knot in my Dao heart."

"If I cannot personally kill this person to avenge the past wrongs, my heart will remain tied up, my Dao heart unstable, and it might even affect my future cultivation. That's why I came here today, hoping Brother Lei would do me a favor."

Lei Ling's brows furrowed even tighter. "You want to enter the Dao Prison"

Yue Qing nodded and said, "Not bad. I hope Brother Lei can help make this happen."

Lei Ling shook her head and said, "Yue Xiong, you are not someone from the Dao San Palace, so you are not allowed to enter the Dao Prison!"

"Even if I let you in, once this is exposed, I'll be implicated too!"

Yue Qing calmly handed over a storage ring and said, "I know this matter will be difficult for Brother Lei. This is a token of my appreciation."

Lei Ling did not reach out to take the ring, but first swept it with her divine sense.

When he saw clearly what was inside the ring, the tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed and he said: "Brother Yue is too polite. We are both from the Dao Shen Temple. Since it's Brother Yue who spoke, I will definitely find a way."

While speaking, Lei Ling also seamlessly took the ring.

Yue Qing clasped his fists in a salute and said, "Thank you, Brother Lei!"

Lei Ling waved his hand and said, "There is a way, but Brother Yue might have to wait for some time!"

"What's wrong"

This will be Yue Qing's turn to frown and say: "I deliberately calculated the time to come. Since Jiang Yun entered the Dao Prison, it has been exactly three years today, so I can take action against him!"

"That's not what I meant!"

Leiling lowered his voice and said, "I set a trap on the seventh level of Dao Prison. I didn't expect Jiang Yun to fall for it. To avoid alerting him, Yue ge can't make a move against him for now!"

"How much longer will we have to wait!"

"Rest assured, it will be soon, within a year at most!"

Hearing that there was only one year left, Yue Qing's expression finally returned to calm. After all, a year wasn't really long.

"Okay, then I'll wait another year!"

Lei Ling blinked and said, "If Brother Yue has nothing to do, why not stay in this San Gong for a year That way, the two of us can catch up!"

Yue Qingmian showed a hesitant look and said, "This, isn't quite right. I'm from the Void Hall. Entering Dao San Gong..."

Before Unequal Yueqing could finish his words, Lei Ling interrupted: “What’s so bad about it The Palace Master is in seclusion, and we have nothing to do anyway.”

Besides, even if the Palace Master knew, he wouldn't blame you too much. Brother Yue's family, even the Nine Great Sects would have to give them some face.

Yue Qing chuckled and said, "Brother Lei, where are you getting your words from The Yue family is just a little known name, how can it compare to Brother Lei's backing of the renowned Leijitian!"

"Haha, let's not flatter each other here. Listen to me, stay here for a year, and who knows, maybe by then I and Senior Yue will enter the seventh level of the Dao Prison together!"

Amidst the sound of their voices, the two walked side by side into the Sanctum of Three Palaces. The grand doors of the Sanctum of Three Palaces closed once more, restoring tranquility to this space shrouded in darkness.

……

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Ginger Cloud did not disappoint. True to her word, she broke through the formation on this very day and walked out free.

Just as he had appeared, the three ancient cultivators, Luo, who he had been focusing his divine sense on for the past three years, immediately sensed his presence and instantly materialized before Jiang Yun.

Gu Luo and Xiang Hongchen both smiled, cupping their fists and bowing to Jiang Yun: "Congratulations to Gu Dao You on your departure from seclusion!"

Ginger Yun politely returned the salute and said, "That's also thanks to the three of you for your help!"

Only Fu Sangzi still had a sneer on her face. After sizing up Jiang Yun up and down, she said in a neither-positive-nor-negative tone: "In three years, Gu Dao You has provided us with a lot of wood power twice in a row, but I don't feel like your strength has improved much at all!"

"Jiang Yun didn't get angry, instead he smiled faintly and said: 'My strength is already far behind all of you. In just three years, there wouldn't be much improvement!' "

"Hmph!" Fusangzi coldly snorted. "Since that's the case, I wonder if our ancient friend is ready"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "It should be about time."

"Okay, then within these few days, we will notify Old Daoist friend."

"If you, fellow cultivator, have any remaining business to attend to, it would be best to finish it within these few days."

If you make excuses again, don't blame me for Fushangzi turning against you.

After finishing his words, Fusangzi waved his sleeve and left first. As for Fusangzi's threat, Jiang Yun merely smiled faintly, not caring at all.

On the contrary, Gu Luo seemed a little embarrassed as he said, "Don't be surprised, fellow daoist. To tell you the truth, that place was discovered first by Fusangzi, so he is also the most eager to get there."

"No problem!"

Well, I'll take my leave then!

Kusano and Kuro left one after the other, only Xiang Hongchen remained standing in place.

After sizing up Jiang Yun up and down, Xiang Hongchen smiled at his face and said, "I don't know why, but when I first met Gu Dao You, I had a feeling of familiarity."

"And now, three years have passed. Meeting my old friends again, the feeling of familiarity has only grown stronger!"

Jiang Yun kept smiling and said, “It is my honor to make Xiang Dao You feel at ease!”

"See you then!"

He walked into the world, but before he left, he gave Jiang Yun a meaningful look.

Watching Xiang Hongchen's figure disappear, Jiang Yun's smile gradually subsided. He looked up at the seven suns in the sky, his brows furrowed tightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
