Reincarnation Sect!
Hearing these three words, Jiang Yun’s body trembled slightly, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes!
Although Jiang Yun had never entered the Reincarnation Sect, the name of this Sect had long been deeply etched in his mind, because his Mortal enemy, Feng Wuji, was in the Reincarnation Sect.
Jiang Yun originally knew nothing about the Reincarnation Sect until he came to the Wen Dao Sect and learned some information about the Reincarnation Sect in the Scripture Pavilion.
The Reincarnation Sect is located in Xishan Prefecture, and like the Wen Dao Sect, it is a Cultivation Sect.
However, the Wen Dao Sect is a Human Race Dao Sect, only accepting Human Race Disciples and absolutely refusing to accept Disciples from other races, but the Reincarnation Sect has no such restriction; as long as a Disciple is favored by them, no matter what race they are, they will be accepted into the Sect.
This naturally led to an extremely complex situation within the Reincarnation Sect, and the competition for survival among Disciples was also exceptionally cruel and intense; everything was decided purely by strength, and even killing fellow Disciples was not an issue.
Although many Sects found the Reincarnation Sect’s behavior quite disgraceful, they also had to admit that the Disciples cultivated in such a chaotic environment were indeed much stronger than those from other Sects.
The strength naturally led to the Reincarnation Sect’s arrogance and domineering nature; Cultivators who traveled abroad would basically avoid them from a distance whenever they encountered a Disciple from the Reincarnation Sect, and few dared to provoke them.
However, Jiang Yun truly couldn’t understand why the Reincarnation Sect would suddenly come to the Wen Dao Sect.
“Because of the Road of No Return!”
“Road of No Return?”
“Yes!” Dongfang Bo’s expression remained solemn as he looked towards the southwest and said, “I don’t think you know that the world we live in is called the Mountain and Sea World! And the land we stand on is actually just an island!”
“Mountain and Sea World!” Jiang Yun suddenly sat up from the bed, his face full of shock as he said, “An island?”
“A very, very large island, so large that you can’t even imagine it! This island is called Five Mountains because there are five giant mountains on it, named after east, south, west, north, and center respectively. Our Wen Dao Sect is on South Mountain, and outside this island is an ocean, which we call the World Sea!”
“The World Sea is even larger, divided into inner and outer seas, boundless. It is said that as long as one can cross the World Sea, they can reach another world—the Great Wilderness Realm!”
“However, the World Sea is full of dangers, and even has life forms existing within it, including various incredibly powerful races, such as the Sea Race.”
“Throughout history, many powerful Cultivators have indeed ventured into the World Sea, but most of them never returned, and it’s unknown whether they truly reached the Great Wilderness Realm or perished in the World Sea.”
Dongfang Bo’s calm narration slowly unfolded a magnificent picture before Jiang Yun, as if he saw a vast island with five colossal mountains, surrounded by an endless ocean.
With the ocean as the boundary, one side was the Mountain and Sea World, and the other was a world called the Desolate Realm.
“Then, what is the Road of No Return?”
“That’s a long story!” A hint of worry appeared on Dongfang Bo’s solemn face: “Although our lives seem peaceful, in reality, all lives on our Five Mountains Island are constantly living on the edge of danger.”
These words made Jiang Yun even more confused, but he didn’t ask, knowing Dongfang Bo’s temperament; since he had started, he would definitely explain it in detail.
“Because the World Sea is gradually encroaching upon Five Mountains Island, especially in the past few millennia, the speed of encroachment has suddenly accelerated. According to the calculations of some powerful beings, it won’t be long—perhaps a millennium, perhaps a century, or even perhaps a decade—before the entire Five Mountains Island will be completely swallowed by the World Sea. At that time, the entire Mountain and Sea World will no longer have mountains, only the sea.”
At this point, Dongfang Bo paused, exhaled a long breath, and then continued: “If that day truly comes, then let alone Mortals, even Cultivators like us, even Cave Heaven Realm powerhouses, will likely not escape death. For all life on Five Mountains Island, it will be a catastrophic disaster!”
Jiang Yun’s breathing grew heavy. What Dongfang Bo said was something he had never heard of and could not imagine, but he knew that Dongfang Bo would not lie to him.
He had never cared about death, but he cared about Mang Mountain, he cared about Jiang Village; he didn’t want his loved ones to perish in the World Sea one day in the future.
“Is there no way to deal with it? Five Mountains Island is full of powerful cultivators; they surely won’t just sit idly by, right?”
Dongfang Bo nodded and said, “In fact, as early as several millennia ago, the major Sects and noble families on Five Mountains Island had already begun to seek a solution, and they truly found a feasible method: to open up a path to the Great Wilderness Realm above the World Sea!”
Jiang Yun’s heart stirred as he said, “The Road of No Return?”
“Yes, the Road of No Return!” Dongfang Bo nodded again and said, “Opening the Road of No Return can only be undertaken by Cultivators, so every Sect and noble family must send people.”
Although Jiang Yun had never seen the ocean and didn’t know how dangerous the World Sea truly was, based on Dongfang Bo’s simple description, he could imagine that opening a path to another world on it would certainly be extremely difficult. However, he still couldn’t understand what this had to do with the arrival of the Reincarnation Sect.
“For the Road of No Return, ten go and nine don’t return! No matter which Sect or noble family, once someone is sent to the Road of No Return, they basically never come back. So, over time, no one was willing to go. In desperation, the major Sects and noble families could only decide who goes and who doesn’t through a competition.”
Jiang Yun frowned and said, “A competition?”
“Yes, all the Sects and noble families on Five Mountains Island must draw lots every five years and compete in pairs. The winner does not need to send anyone, while the loser must send someone to the World Sea to open the Road of No Return. If they refuse, they will become the public enemy of all Cultivators. This time, our Wen Dao Sect’s opponent is the Reincarnation Sect!”
Jiang Yun finally understood. Although it was clear that opening the Road of No Return was an act that benefited billions of lives, sacrificing one’s own life for others was something few could do. Yet, the Road of No Return had to be opened, so they could only use this method to forcibly send people.
“Then, can we win this time?”
Dongfang Bo didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he looked deeply at Jiang Yun and then shook his head, saying, “Probably not!”
“Cannot?” Jiang Yun was stunned and said, “Don’t we have Fang Yuxuan, Xiao Yishu, and the Elders of each Peak? Aren’t they all very powerful?”
“Only Disciples in the Tongmai Realm can participate in the competition! And within the Wen Dao Sect, among the Disciples in the Tongmai Realm, besides you, I really can’t think of anyone stronger than you!” Dongfang Bo explained.
Tongmai Realm?
Jiang Yun paused slightly, then quickly jumped up and said, “Then I’ll go participate!”
Although Jiang Yun had no particular fondness for the entire Wen Dao Sect, he was still a Disciple of the Wen Dao Sect, so at this moment, he was willing to step forward and fight for the Wen Dao Sect.
However, Dongfang Bo shook his head and said, “Originally, you were indeed considered, but the Reincarnation Sect unexpectedly arrived earlier than the agreed time, which was more than twenty days from now. And now, your injuries haven’t healed, and your Realm isn’t completely stable. The Disciples of the Reincarnation Sect are also extremely ruthless, so you cannot go!”
Jiang Yun still wanted to speak, but Dongfang Bo didn’t give him a chance: “What’s more, the Reincarnation Sect has recently accepted a new Disciple whose Aptitude is Heaven-Defying. He is known as the number one person in the Tongmai Realm. With him there, even if you were in your Peak state, you wouldn’t be his opponent. Going would be pointless!”
“The number one person in the Tongmai Realm? What’s his name?”
