, Jiangyun wouldn't mind either.Hearing Ginger Cloud's words, Teng Lin's gaze finally slowly retracted from the Zang Dao Sword and looked back at Ginger Cloud. He didn't answer but asked instead, "Whe...More than sixty years have passed since Jiang Yun left the Blood Dao Realm, and thanks to the protection of the blood web he left behind, the current Blood Dao Realm has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although the air here is still highly toxic, it is home to the Jinchan clan, considered descendants of the legendary Yaosheng (Divine Physician).

Their chief, Jin Cunyao, had refined a large quantity of antidote pills and distributed them to all beings in this world at intervals, greatly reducing the degree of harm they suffered from the poison.

Without the threat of the three palaces, Xing Wei, or any other external enemies, and even though Jiang Yun was gone, there was still a realm master in this world who maintained order with an extremely just attitude. This allowed all living beings in this world to enjoy over sixty years of rare peace and tranquility.

Naturally, this also meant that the cultivators within this realm did not experience a meteoric rise in their cultivation levels. However, they all saw a significant increase, with their overall strength surpassing their initial state by tenfold or more.

……

Peach Blossom City!

This city got its name because the environment here, compared to the harsh conditions of the entire Blood Path Realm, could be considered a paradise.

And now, this city has truly become a paradise, even the center of the entire Blood Dao Realm. Its area has also expanded several times compared to before.

But no matter how much Taoyuan City expanded, there was always a manor within its walls that remained unchanged.

At this moment, in the backyard of this manor, there are two people, one standing and one sitting.

Sitting there was a white-haired old man!

The old man's face was creased with wrinkles, his eyes tightly shut. A slight stoop to his body emanated a faint aura of death, clearly indicating that he was nearing the end of his life.

Within a radius of almost ten feet around his body, there were thousands of stones of varying sizes, some as big as a fist and others as small as a sesame seed.

In the very center of these stones, about three feet from the old man, stood a thin young man. He had his eyes wide open, staring intently at the densely packed stones around him.

Two people, both completely still, like statues. They have maintained this posture for a whole year now!

Finally, a voice filled with infinite admiration came from the thin man: "This Zhou Tianjie Formation, I'm afraid that even within my Zhen Dao Sect, no one can break it."

Raising his head, the man bowed to the seated elder and said, "Liu zhěi, Hou is always defiant on the array path, but towards you, I am convinced!"

Hearing the man's words, the old man who had always been motionless slowly opened his eyes. Although there was a trace of pride in his cloudy eyes, a trace of fear appeared on his aged face as he said: "Senior Hou, you are being too kind. I am unworthy of such praise!"

"As a junior, I have achieved some success in the art of formation. This is all thanks to the cultivation and guidance you have given me over the years!"

The thin man waved his hand and said, "You don't have to praise me. I know my own abilities very well."

"The advice I gave you was just to save you from taking a few detours."

"You should really thank your master!"

He had a sharp eye for talent and laid a solid foundation for you. Coupled with your own efforts, you have achieved what you are today.

"Master!"

After softly repeating those two words, a deep longing appeared on the old man's face. "I wonder," he said, "if there will ever be another chance to see my master again!"

Hearing this, a hint of gloom appeared on the thin man's face. Although he sighed helplessly in his heart, he loudly assured her, "Don't worry, you are the Lord of this world, you will definitely be able to see your master."

And I have a feeling that Daoist Jiang won't be long before he appears!

The old man smiled faintly, and instead of answering the young man's words, he changed the subject and said: "Senior Hou, since you also think this formation is good, then please remember it."

"If you happen to see my master in the future, please be so kind as to pass this formation along to him!"

Of course, this white-haired and venerable old man was Jiang Yun's only true disciple, Liu Peng!

Liu Peng, strictly speaking, is not a cultivator.

Because back then, in order to quickly enhance his strength, he absorbed too much toxic spiritual energy. This led to the poison in his body far exceeding his body's capacity, even putting his life on the line.

Thanks to Jiang Yun's appearance, he was given a detoxification pill that could dispel the toxins in his body, but the price was that he would lose all his cultivation.

Ultimately, Liu Peng chose to swallow the antidote pill and let go of his obsession with cultivation.

However, Ginger Cloud believed that letting go was also a form of cultivation. Therefore, she encouraged Liu Peng to focus on cultivating array formations, hoping that with his talent in this area, he would achieve great success and even attain the Dao.

Under Jiang Yun's encouragement and support, Liu Peng became, from that point on, probably the only cultivator in history who lacked any cultivation but still embarked on the path of cultivation.

When leaving the Blood Dao Realm, Jiang Yun not only gave all his knowledge of formations to Liu Peng, but also bestowed upon him the identity of the Blood Dao Realm's master.

Because he didn't have time, Jiang Yun specially entrusted Hou Muran from the Jinding Daozong to take care of and give some guidance to his disciples if he had time.

This thin man was Hou Muran. Shortly after Jiang Yun left, he arrived at the Liu family and met Liu Peng.

Since then, Hou Muran stayed with the Liu family and by Liu Peng's side.

It's not about pointing out Liu Peng's flaws, but rather witnessing the miracles he creates on the battlefield!

Liu Peng, this ordinary person without cultivation, in these sixty years, the attainments he has achieved in formations, in Hou Muran's eyes, are comparable to or even surpassing his own sect master, and any formation master he has ever known!

Especially at this moment, these seemingly haphazard stones laid out before him are actually a formation created by Liu Peng a year ago. It is called the Zhou Tian Jie Formation!

The magic of this formation lies in its ability to be either large or small, simple or complex.

Small things can be arranged with pebbles, while large things can be arranged with the whole world.

One pebble, can also form an array. A thousand worlds, can also form an array!

The changes within are extremely complex and can shift in an instant, making it impossible to decipher.

Anyway, Hou Muran spent a year and still had no clue!

It's a pity, although Liu Peng's attainment in array formations had reached the level of a master, because he lacked cultivation and, due to his relentless research into arrays, working day and night without rest, his lifespan had long since reached its end!

The reason he has been able to persist until today, besides having Jin Cun Yao continuously refining longevity pills for him, is most importantly because of his status as the master of the Blood Dao realm!

Even so, his life was still nearing its end!

Although everyone was worried about him and trying to find a solution, Liu Peng himself didn't care at all.

His only regret and wish was not to increase his lifespan or live longer, but to see his master one last time before he died!

He wanted to tell his master himself that he hadn't disappointed him!

However, he also knew that he was probably going to wait for his master's arrival. Therefore, after sensing that his time was running out, he poured all of his heart and soul into creating this Zhou Tianjie Formation.

...This formation is intended as a gift to the master, as a way to repay their kindness!

...

"Oh!"

Hou Mu'ran sighed heavily in his heart once again, and silently began to record the Zhoutian Realm Array before him.

But just then, a single drop of water fell from the sky and landed on one of the stones, instantly turning it blood red!
