just witnessed.Besides seeing the scene, Jiang Yun also had a feeling of familiarity.It's the same feeling he had in the Imperial Source Stone, where his cultivation seemed to be subtly affected!"A ro...This black stone, Ginger Cloud knew with almost absolute certainty, was the one from his dream, the weathered and aged self who had sat on that towering monument for countless years.

Named Dao Yin!

The function of Dao Yin is to absorb the meaning of the Dao.

That profound voice can only be heard when encountering an object that touches upon the realm of Tao, and it allows such things to enter the water transformed by the Dao Seal.

Up to this point, this mournful sound has arisen three times.

For the first time, it absorbed a wisp of humanoid sword intent from Zhantian Sword;

Secondly, it absorbed the Yin-Yang Demon Seal from the Reverse Demon Bridge.

The third time was when, in the chaotic and desolate realm, Jiang Yun entered Xiao Village's entrance shrouded in that formation. And on that occasion, it didn't absorb anything at all.

Now, this is the fourth time it has resonated, and what caused it to resonate, naturally, is the rune that surged into Jiang Yun's body from the altar.

The echoes of vicissitudes still linger: "The tribe of desolation, not in accordance with the realm of Dao, should have been eternally banished outside Dao. But... therefore, permission is granted to enter the Seventh Realm!"

The sound vanished, and the Dao imprint transformed into water, drawing the rune into the seventh layer of water, where it reformed into stone once more.

However, Gingercloud was stunned because the words spoken by that vicissitudes voice were clearly missing a sentence!

However, Ginger Cloud understood the meaning behind these words.

That rune is called the "Arahwen," and its origin dates back to an ancient tribe known as the "Arah" that existed in prehistoric times.

This savage tribe is incompatible with the Dao, so their savage markings are not allowed to enter the Dao Seal.

But for some reason, Dao Yin ultimately still allowed Huang Wen to enter its depths, and even to the seventh layer of water.

"Never yield to the outside world!" Jiang Yun said to himself, "This is very much like me. Am I not also always unable to comprehend the Dao It's as if the Dao has rejected me!"

"Forever refuse the outside world." Jiang Yun suddenly frowned and said, "Dao far away, separated from Dao, far away..."

A look of comprehension suddenly appeared on Jiang Yun's face, and he almost exclaimed in excitement: "This Dao Yuan is just a fake name!"

He is a member of the Wastelanders. Because their clan was eternally ostracized, he named himself after them!

"This desolate master's imprint should be a skill that he, as a member of the Desolate Clan, was born with."

Or perhaps, the entire Clan of Wildernesses is actually like the cultivators of the Great Desolate Realm. The very foundation of their cultivation lies in the Wild Patterns.

"But why did he become a disciple of the Wudao Sect He first founded the Wudao Sect in the Shanhai Realm, and then came to the Dahuang Realm and became the ruler of the wasteland"

"Could it be that his purpose was also to find something buried here, and did he succeed"

The vicissitudes of voice's words plunged Jiang Yun into deep thought, causing him to temporarily stop pouring chaotic power into the altar. This, in turn, prevented the imprint on it from disappearing any further.

This caused Dugu Wen, who was waiting below, to suddenly show a look of anxiety and bewilderment.

He had no idea what was happening inside Ginger Cloud. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid to disturb her, so he could only keep pacing back and forth waiting.

Ginger Cloud, however, hadn't considered Du Guwen's feelings. Now, he was completely immersed in his speculation about Dao Yuan.

In this line of thinking, he suddenly thought of a question.

Since he saw the statue of Dao Yuan, he always felt something was off. Now, he finally understands what was wrong.

"No matter what the origin of this distant path is, since he chose to hide his identity, it's clear that he doesn't want anyone to find him or know where he's going. That's why he disappeared without a word."

"In this desolate world, he branded these creatures of the wasteland with the mark of the Wilderness Master, making it impossible for anyone to enter or leave. His purpose, naturally, was also to prevent others from leaking his news."

Then, how could such a person leave behind their own statue within the Desolate Realm

"Even if I were him, I wouldn't show my true face!"

Jiang Yun had changed his name and appearance many times to hide his identity, so he understood it well.

>Especially Dao Yuan's eyes are really distinctive. Once you've seen them, you'll never forget them.

He left a statue here, which is tantamount to telling everyone that he had been to the Great Desolate Realm!

"For this person to have vanished for so many years, even the masters of the Dao Seeking Sect couldn't find him, he must be someone with extremely meticulous thoughts. It's impossible that he wouldn't have anticipated something like this."

In short, this statue should have been carved by others without his permission!

"Then, what was the sculptor's true intention Was he simply honoring him, or did he have other motives"

Ginger Cloud's gaze involuntarily turned to Dugu Tian below.

As these problems emerged one by one, Jiang Yun also began to view Dugu Tian differently.

Although Dugu Tian's words, both explicitly and implicitly, showed great reverence for Dao Yuan, compared to others, his reverence was truly far inferior.

Just like that middle-aged man, when they mentioned the Lord of Desolation, their faces would be filled with almost fanatical fervor. However, Dugu Tian's reaction was much more subdued!

Furthermore, to be able to become the Lord of Desolation, even as a replacement, I'm somewhat moved by it. However, this Dugu Wen is actually unwilling. There must be something strange about this!

Of course, all of this is just my guess. Maybe I'm overthinking things, but no matter what, the fact that Du Gu Tian made me erase the runes on this altar suggests his intentions are more than just wanting me to become the Lord of Desolation.

"This Abyssal Brand, I can't erase it for now!"

Thinking of this, Ginger Cloud quietly retracted the chaotic power, stood up.

Gingerly inhaling, Jiang Yun's face instantly turned as pale as paper. He staggered and leaped down from the altar, appearing before Duguwén.

"Little friend, what's wrong with you"

Seeing Jian Yun's appearance, Dugu Wen frowned and hurriedly greeted him, his face showing concern.

Jiang Yun waved his hand, panting heavily. "The imprint left by the Sovereign of Ruins is truly too powerful. With my cultivation level, I can only erase so much for now."

Dugu Wen scrutinized Jiang Yun up and down for a long time before saying, "Since that's the case, let's come back later. I'll take my friend away first."

The two returned to the ancestral hall. Dugu Wen sighed and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't send you off. If you need to find me, just come here anytime."

"Good!"

Facing Duguyan with a fist salute, Jiangyun took a step out of the ancestral hall. Looking back, he saw Duguyan still standing there, smiling and nodding at him.

Ginger nodded and said nothing more. He picked up the middle-aged man who was still unconscious on the ground and walked out.

After watching Jian Yun's figure disappear, Dugu Wen's smile on his face instantly vanished, and his brows furrowed. "These common folk from the lower realms are rather cunning this time. Could it be they have discovered something"

"However, I also have no weak spots. It seems his cultivation level isn't high enough to break all these seals at once. Fortunately, I've been waiting this long, so I don't mind waiting a few more days!"

Du Gu Wen raised his head and looked at the statue of Dao Yuan, coldly smiling: “Lord Huang, Lord Huang, although I know nothing about you, this statue of yours wasn't erected in vain!”

That boy clearly saw you before, but he lied and said he didn't. But it doesn't matter, as long as I can get out of this predicament, I have ways to pry the truth out of him!

"Then, I will personally destroy everything related to you as revenge for imprisoning me for so many years!"
