Chapter 4312: Seven Small Holes

m.If we set aside cultivation realms and personal strength, and only discuss Jiang Yun's accomplishments in the sword dao...Then, he has surpassed Fang Yuxuan and is even closing in on Wei Zhengyang!"...This world is different from the ninety-ninth district where the Emperor of the Barbarian Tribe was imprisoned.

The Ninety-Ninth District, deep within the earth, is soil. But in this world's depths, there are scorching flames and flowing magma.

Especially those molten rivers, countless in number, flowing endlessly beneath the earth, twisting and turning in unseen paths. It is impossible to know where they ultimately lead.

Though molten lava is scorching hot, it doesn't affect Jiang Yun's divine sense.

Jiang Yun decisively followed the direction of these lava flows, slowly searching for Xue Wu Chang's location.

However, as the divine consciousness continued to expand, a trace of doubt arose in Ginger Cloud's heart.

Because, logically speaking, with one's own divine consciousness, even if the speed of action is slow, it should have covered this entire world.

My own consciousness is still spreading, as if this world has no boundaries.

Just when Jiang Yun was about to give up, his body suddenly trembled slightly.

Because, he suddenly felt a ripple of power!

This is not breath, but the tangible power, the blood power that Gingercloud knows so well!

It was just then that Wen Jin's voice rang in Jiang Yun's ear, "You're still daydreaming!"

"Heavenly Official, he sent you here, not to daydream."

Upon hearing Wen Jin's voice, Jiang Yun's divine sense immediately frantically retreated from the depths of the earth.

Although his heart was pounding wildly inside, he remained calm and composed on the surface, saying, "This is my first time here, so I'm naturally a little curious."

Wén Jǐn apparently didn't notice Jiāng Yún's strangeness. He reached out and pointed to the distance: "Two formations, we each guard one."

"Keep your eyes on them, and when it's your turn to rotate, pour all of your strength into the formation."

Jiang Yun immediately nodded and said, "Good!"

With a nod, Jiang Yun immediately followed Wen Jin's direction and strode forward. In an instant, he arrived above the formation, sat down cross-legged in midair, and focused his gaze on what lay below.

> It seemed as if Jiang Yun was carefully observing the twelve guards in front of him, but in reality, his gaze was fixed on the ground beneath them. His mind was replaying the sudden surge of blood power he had just experienced.

Of course, that trace of blood power could only have come from Xue Wu Chang!

Actually, there wasn't anything to it originally.

After all, this is where Xue Wu Chang is imprisoned, and his seal has just loosened. It's normal for a trace of blood power to seep out.

But, Ginger Cloud had a vague feeling that the power of blood was not there before. It appeared only after he became aware of his divine consciousness.

Gingercloud believed that she was definitely not the first person to release her divine consciousness and venture into the underground.

Every single person who has ever come here, even including the guards sitting down below right now, maintaining the seal with their own power, has definitely used their divine sense to investigate.

But none of them sensed the trace of blood power.

Otherwise, the ones sitting here wouldn't be them but an Emperor or a Quasi-Emperor personally presiding.

However, to verify his guess, Jiang Yun intentionally transmitted his voice to Wen Jin: "Wen Sir, if my power is insufficient and the formation halts its operation, would it allow Xue Wu Chang's power to break through the seal and kill us all before escaping"

"Hmph!"

Wen Jin chuckled without hesitation before speaking, "I thought you were actually bold. I didn't expect that even facing the Emperor, you would be afraid."

"Rest assured, don't worry about the formation temporarily stopping. Even if we ignore this place and let Bloodless break free from the seal, it would take several years for him to escape."

"The seal only had a crack, but its effect still existed. Blood's anomaly power couldn't break out at all."

If he were able to break out, he would have killed us long ago and devoured us as nourishment.

"We're suppressing it here only to prevent the seal from expanding any further. That way, when the Emperor comes to repair it in the future, it won't be as troublesome."

Jiang Yunmian suddenly realized and said, "That's great!"

It's clear that others haven't encountered the situation I just did.

"That is to say, that thread of blood power, appeared specifically because of me."

Why am I the only one who can encounter this

"Is it because I killed Lu Wenlin, or is it because I also possess the power of blood"

"Or perhaps during the last hunt, I was forced to absorb two drops of Xue Wu Chang's blood from that passageway in order to escape. That made me a blood slave."

"Although the blood has been consumed by me, can Bloodless still sense my presence"

"Or could it be that because the Desolate Emperor saved me last time, he sensed the power of desolation within me"

"So he intentionally overflowed with this thread of blood power, making me aware. What purpose could he possibly have"

According to Wen Jin, everyone believes that Xue Wu Chang is incapable of releasing power, but in reality, he actually can.

"And I, as the guardian of Heaven Beyond Heavens, my normal procedure would be to immediately report this matter and have Leng Yichen, or even Emperor Xing, come again to try and completely suppress him once more."

But he seemed not to worry that I would report him!

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and said: "To find the answer, in fact, we just need to try again, and it will be clear!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun split his divine sense into two strands. One focused on Wen Jin, and the other on the twelve guards below.

Then, he once again extended all of his consciousness into the depths of the earth.

When Jiang Yun's divine sense arrived at the location where the blood power had appeared, that trace of blood power had already vanished.

But in an instant, it appeared again, and this time, it sped off in a particular direction.

Jiang Yun's divine sense did not follow, so it stopped.

Looking at its appearance, it seems to be guiding Ginger Cloud's divine sense!

Jiang Yunwei hesitated for a moment, then her spiritual sense followed behind the blood energy.

Although Gingercloud knew his actions were somewhat risky, he believed that Bloodless would not act recklessly even if he could unleash a sliver of blood power, or even kill him.

If he dared to make a move, the Emperor of Punishment and others would surely know about it. Then, what awaited him would be even more terrifying imprisonment.

Moreover, I myself possess the formidable Great Wilderness Five Peaks that have returned to their peak state.

This bloodline trembles before the Barbarian Emperor, truly fearing him. If things get desperate, they can themselves unleash the Five Peaks of Desolation to protect themselves—naturally, that wouldn't be a problem.

That thread of blood power, within the magma, continuously swirled and danced with incredible agility.

And this also made Jiang Yun look more and more astonished, because it meant that Xue Wu Chang's control over power had already become extremely precise.

In this way, after about half an hour of wandering, the flow of blood power finally stopped.

And at this moment, what presented itself in Jiang Yun's divine sense was a sea of molten magma that stretched as far as the eye could see!

Ginger Cloud didn't understand what the power of blood wanted from bringing him here.

And then the power of blood suddenly moved again, directly plunging into the sea of magma.

However, this time it didn't travel far. After dashing out for about ten thousand miles, it stopped and circled around an area that was only about a foot in diameter.

Jiang Yun's divine sense focused, and through the magma, he saw that below was a piece of land.

And on the ground there were seven shallow holes, only as thick as chopsticks, looking as if they had appeared naturally.

However, Ginger Cloud was truly clueless about the purpose of these seven small holes.

Just then, the lava covering the ground suddenly dispersed. Then, a ball of lava rose and landed on the seven small holes, instantly filling them up.

Although the magma in the small hole quickly overflowed, the flowing magma connected the seven small holes together.

This also made Jian Yun's divine sense suddenly solidify, because at this moment, these seven small holes together with the overflowing magma clearly formed a rune!

And then, one after another, blobs of magma began to rise and fall into the small hole, constantly overflowing and causing the runes to appear.
