Chapter 713: Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst

en, a voice with a hint of laziness suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.Following the sound, I saw a young man who looked to be only about twenty years old standing above the plaque that read "Waste"...With the departure of the firebird, Jiang Yun wandered around the vicinity for a while before returning to the Rebirth Cave.

Seeing Jiang Yun return so quickly, Liu Peng's face instantly lit up with joy and said, "Ancient friend, have you considered it carefully and made a decision"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Thanks for the kind invitation, Liu Daoist. If I refuse again, it would seem a bit too pretentious. In the future, please take care of me!"

"Where's the talk!"

Liu Peng beamed and said, “With the addition of our friend Gu Dao, my Liu family is now truly strengthened!”

This sentence is indeed true. Gingeryun also knew it well. Although Liu Peng wasn't a bad person, inviting him to the Liu family was not only out of kindness and gratitude but also a way to recruit him.

"When will people from your family arrive, about"

"If it goes quickly, three to five days. If it takes longer, about a week."

Ginger nodded, her gaze once again fixed on the depths of the rebirth cave.

To be honest, he still wanted to meet that golden toad again and see how it could remove the poison from his body.

Though he thought about it, knowing the phoenix's aura still lingered on him, he could only give up for now. He would wait until there was a chance to visit another reincarnation cave and investigate then!

Just then, Bai Ze's voice rang in Jiang Yun's mind, "Why don't you simply subdue the firebird and the toad"

As a demon tamer with the demon-taming brush in hand, Gingercloud now has plenty of ways to easily subdue ordinary monsters.

But for the entire year, Ginger Cloud hadn't gone to subdue the Firebird, which already made Bai Ze feel strange.

But now facing this toad that can dispel toxins from the body, Jiang Yun actually didn't go to subdue it, which made him really hold back.

Yet Gingercloud did not answer but asked in return, “Would you be willing to be subdued by someone”

Of course not!

That's all!

Ginger Cloud said softly, "I have no grievances with them. If they are willing to follow me voluntarily, I naturally welcome them with open arms."

"But if I were to use the Fuyin Seal to forcibly subdue them, to make them serve me with their lives, what would be the difference between me and the Luo family of old, and that Huoyang Hui"

Although Ginger Cloud doesn't consider himself a good person, he can be ruthless in pursuit of his goals.

But, he has his own bottom line.

He would never do anything that involved touching the bottom line, no matter what.

"Tsk, so naive! You're about to lose your life and you're still talking about righteousness!"

Although Bai Ze spoke dismissively, deep down he was extremely impressed by Jiang Yun's actions.

Jiang Yun also knew that Bai Ze was being insincere and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Liu Peng and asked directly: "Daoist Liu, since we still have some time, why don't you tell me about this prison and the general situation of Peach Blossom City That way I can be mentally prepared."

Liu Peng scratched his head and said, “As for the situation of this level of hell, I don't know much about it. It's all hearsay, so it can't be taken as true.”

After all, for those of us who can't use our cultivation freely, the area of Dao Prison is simply too vast. Therefore, I can only tell you about Peach Blossom City.

Gingercloud nodded in understanding.

This past year of experience has made him understand the pain of not being able to casually use his cultivation.

If one were an ordinary person, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad. But as someone who was once a cultivator capable of ascending to heaven and earth, now being unable to use their cultivation at will is indeed a cruel thing.

It is absolutely impossible to comprehend a world of such immense scale without relying on cultivation.

Then, Liu Peng told everything he knew in detail.

Peach Blossom City's area is quite large, housing nearly a million beings.

Apart from several dedicated transformation formations capable of shielding against poisonous gas outside the city walls, the concentration of toxic air within the city is also significantly lower than that outside.

Although there are many large and small forces within the entire Peach Blossom City, the most powerful ones are only three!

Among these three major forces, each has a Tianyou powerhouse sitting in town, which is a truly behemoth-level existence.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

There are three individuals named Tianyou within a single city. Even in this chaotic and troubled world, such a situation is impossible.

And Peach Blossom City is merely one city among the seven levels of Hell!

How many heavenly blessings and even how many experts in the Daoist realm are there within this entire layer of the Dao prison

For the first time, Jiang Yun finally had a true understanding of the number of powerful individuals within Dao Prison.

However, this also reminded him of the Dao Temple behind the Prison of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and the Dao Venerable who's name wasn't allowed to be spoken casually!

It's no wonder that the Dao Divine Palace dares to claim control over thousands of Dao realms. Even the Nine Great Dao Sects don't dare to be enemies with the Dao Divine Palace.

The power of the Daoist Temple is simply unimaginable.

Outside Taoyuan City, there were even more factions, and the Liu family was one of them.

Although it is only located outside Taoyuan City, not everyone can live there casually. At the very least, there must be a powerful protector stationed to guard the land.

But whether inside Taoyuan City or the large and small factions outside, their positions were not stable.

Even though the three major factions within the city have powerful Heavenly Protectors watching over them, it doesn't mean they can rest easy.

Because Peach Blossom City has an unspoken rule, that is to allow challenges!

For example, if a Celestial-ranked expert were to emerge within a power outside the city walls, then this new Celestial would be eligible to challenge a Celestial within the city.

... and the challenger cannot refuse!

The victor will be able to bring their forces into Peach Blossom City, while the loser must leave Peach Blossom City.

Moreover, this challenge is not merely a simple matter of victory or defeat, but one that will decide life and death!

Similarly, even those forces residing outside the city must remain vigilant against challenges from external powers and the threat of being replaced.

Although no one knows who actually set this rule, everyone has to follow it, which consequently leads to a sense of urgency and crisis for any force.

Naturally, under such pressure, everyone was diligently cultivating.

"How do you cultivate"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but interrupt Liu Peng's words.

Liu Peng's face showed a look of surprise and said, "It's just absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate!"

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and repeated, "Absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate"

This answer, if placed in another world, would naturally be self-evident.

But within this prison, poisonous miasma permeates everywhere. To cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy here would be like drinking poison to quench one's thirst!

However, that's the way it is!

Even within the prison, there are plants and stones that contain spiritual energy, but their number is scarce, belonging only to a select few.

Most cultivators who live in the Dao Prison, although they know that there is poison in spiritual energy and absorbing it will increase the toxins in their bodies, they can only force themselves to cultivate for the sake of improving their cultivation level and living a better life!

Naturally, when the toxins in their bodies reach saturation, they will go to the Reincarnation Cave and ask Jin Chan Great to help remove them.

However, this removal is only a superficial treatment and not addressing the root cause. Over time, it will eventually lead to a point where the toxins in their bodies can no longer be removed.

By then, they could only wait to die.

Ginger Cloud couldn't help but shake his head. A wry smile appeared on his face as he felt deep sympathy for the plight of these cultivators trapped within the Dao Prison.

However, what he had more of was resignation!

Because if I couldn't find a way to remove the toxins myself, one day I would be just like them, knowing that spiritual energy was poisonous yet still having to absorb it.

"Could it be that no one has found a way to dispel the poison"

"Yes!"

Liu Peng's answer made Jiang Yun immediately raise his head.

Just as Liu Peng was about to speak, Jiang Yun's face suddenly changed.

Because he suddenly felt, above his head, or rather, in the sky, there appeared an incredibly powerful divine consciousness!
