For the vast majority of Disciples within the Wen Dao Sect, they had no idea that there had been a competition between the Reincarnation Sect and the Wen Dao Sect, and the result of the competition was that the Wen Dao Sect would send a group of Cultivators to the Road of No Return three days later, with a very high probability that these Cultivators would never return.

Naturally, they also wouldn't know that the world they lived in was about to face a catastrophic disaster, and this was a consensus reached by the high-level officials of the major Sects and powerful clans.

Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

However, for Jiang Yun, who had witnessed the entire competition process and knew what was about to happen next, his heart could not settle down.

Especially the rapid increase in Feng Wuji's strength made the huge rock that had been weighing on his heart, which had loosened a bit, become heavy once again.

It must be said that the astonishing cultivation displayed by the Tongmai Realm Tenth Level, and the Dao Body formed by the power of starlight, brought a great impact to Jiang Yun and made him have a more urgent desire to become stronger.

And this thought reached its peak when Lu Xiaoyu arrived three days later, almost bursting his head and body.

"Yun Gege, I'm going to leave the Wen Dao Sect for a while to perform a Sect mission. I don't know how long it will be until I return, nor where I'm going, but you don't have to worry. This time I'm going with Master and over a hundred Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, so there definitely won't be any danger."

"Moreover, Master proactively proposed this to the Sect Master, because as long as we complete the mission, everyone will receive generous rewards from the Sect upon their return."

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu, who was full of smiles in front of him, Jiang Yun's heart felt as if it had been pierced by ten thousand swords, hurting him so much that he wanted to cry out.

Lu Xiaoyu didn't know where she was going, but Jiang Yun knew!

The Road of No Return, ten go, nine don't return!

As for why Sha Jingshan was taking Lu Xiaoyu and a group of Disciples to the Road of No Return, Jiang Yun was equally clear.

It was because of Wei Zhengyang, or rather, because of himself!

Wei Zhengyang still didn't dare to make a move against him, but he finally set his target on Sha Jingshan and Lu Xiaoyu. He must have used some sinister means to force Sha Jingshan to take Lu Xiaoyu and others to the Road of No Return.

Otherwise, as an Elder, how could Sha Jingshan not know the dangers of the Road of No Return, and how could he proactively request to go to the Road of No Return?

Although Jiang Yun really wanted to make Lu Xiaoyu stay, he also knew that with his identity and strength, it was simply impossible to do so.

Even Sha Jingshan couldn't contend with Wei Zhengyang, let alone himself.

Even if he could do it, without Sha Jingshan's protection, Lu Xiaoyu's situation within the Sect might be even more dangerous, and Sha Jingshan must have thought of this, which is why he had no choice but to take Lu Xiaoyu with him.

"Yun Gege, I have a pen here that my mother left for me. I'm worried I might accidentally lose it when I'm out, so I'd like to ask you to keep it for me."

"Yun Gege, I'm leaving. Please take good care of yourself. When I come back, we will definitely be stronger, and then we won't have to worry about others bullying us anymore."

Jiang Yun had never hated his weakness and insignificance as much as he did at this moment, so much so that he couldn't even utter a single word. He could only watch Lu Xiaoyu's figure gradually disappear, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh, and blood slowly flowing down his palms.

"Wei Zhengyang, in this life, I will kill you!"

Jiang Yun rushed out of the door and came to Dongfang Bo's room: "Senior Brother, can you take me to see the Peak Master?"

Dongfang Bo looked at the blood continuously dripping from Jiang Yun's palms, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he nodded gently, standing up without a word and walking out.

Standing in front of Gu Bu Lao, Jiang Yun bent his knees to kneel, but Gu Bu Lao, who had always kept his eyes closed, waved his hand, and a gentle force supported Jiang Yun's body, preventing him from kneeling.

"Why are you kneeling to me?"

"I want to become your Disciple!"

"Why do you want to become my Disciple?"

"I want to become stronger!"

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

"I want to protect the people I care about!"

After three consecutive questions and answers, Gu Bu Lao finally slowly opened his eyes, staring at Jiang Yun, and stopped speaking.

Under Gu Bu Lao's gaze, Jiang Yun once again felt as if everything inside his body was being seen through, but he didn't dodge at all. He just stood there, silently waiting.

Dongfang Bo, who was beside him, opened his mouth several times, wanting to speak, but looking at Gu Bu Lao and Jiang Yun, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything.

Not far away, Situ Jing and Xuan Yuan had also appeared at some point. They also stood there, nervously watching Gu Bu Lao and Jiang Yun.

For a moment, time on the entire Hidden Peak seemed to stop flowing, everything became still, with only these five silent figures.

It wasn't until a long while later that Gu Bu Lao finally spoke again: "My Dao is not compatible with the Dao you pursue. I cannot accept you as a Disciple!"

Although Jiang Yun didn't understand the meaning of Gu Bu Lao's words at all, and he didn't even know what Dao he was pursuing or why it wasn't compatible with Gu Bu Lao's Dao, his heart had already turned half cold.

However, Gu Bu Lao then continued: "But, since you are standing before me now, it means that there is still a fate law connecting you and me. Therefore, I can accept you as a Disciple!"

Jiang Yun's heart, which had just turned half cold, immediately became fervent again. His face lit up with joy, and just as he was about to kneel again, Gu Bu Lao waved his hand and said: "I have a condition. If you can complete it, then I will accept you as a Disciple. But if you cannot complete it, everything is off the table."

Jiang Yun hurriedly nodded and said: "This Disciple will do his best!"

"Before you enter the Blessed Land Realm, pass through the Five Peaks!"

Passing through the Five Peaks was not unfamiliar to Jiang Yun. It was a shortcut for all Wen Dao Sect miscellaneous and Outer Sect Disciples to advance to the Inner Sect, which meant choosing any one of the Asking Dao Five Peaks and passing through it with one's own strength.

Although Jiang Yun had never attempted it, he was confident. However, Gu Bu Lao seemed to know what he was thinking and said lightly: "What I mean is to pass through the Five Peaks, not just one Peak!"

"What!" Before Jiang Yun could speak, Xuan Yuan, who was in the distance, couldn't help but exclaim: "Master, the Asking Dao Five Peaks, each Peak is where the Sect's foundation lies. The difficulty is so great that even a Blessed Land Realm Cultivator might not be able to pass through one Peak. You're asking Jiang Laodi to pass through all Five Peaks, this..."

"If you can't even pass through these Asking Dao Five Peaks, then what's the point of becoming stronger or cultivating the Dao!"

After throwing out these words, Gu Bu Lao closed his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and with a gust of strong wind, his entire being instantly vanished without a trace.

On Hidden Peak, Jiang Yun turned to Dongfang Bo and said: "Senior Brother, what exactly is passing through the Five Peaks?"

Dongfang Bo showed a bitter smile and said: "Well, your Third Senior Brother has the most say in this. He tried to pass through each of the Five Peaks once, and although he failed all of them, he at least gained some experience."

"Third Senior Brother failed all attempts to pass through the Five Peaks!"

Jiang Yun was stunned. Although he wasn't clear about Third Senior Brother's strength, Third Senior Brother was someone who didn't even put Wei Zhengyang in his eyes. Even he failed to successfully pass through the Five Peaks back then, so could he do it?

Xuan Yuan sighed and said: "Come on, Jiang Laodi, I'll tell you just how difficult this so-called passing through the Five Peaks is!"
