Chapter 721: The Firebird Arrives
relatively hot, so the two sides had a bit of an argument."Then Teng Xu revealed his background, and as a result, the man directly attacked and killed the three of them."Furthermore, judging by the de...Although Gingercloud didn't know what the three tests Liu Zhendong was talking about entailed, she had a vague idea of what they might be.
It's just a guess, which even makes him somewhat disbelieving.
Liu Zhendong also followed up and said, “These three tests, respectively test the Dao Heart, Dao Body, and Dao Spirit. The purpose is to see if you are suitable for cultivation!”
As soon as Liu Zhen-dong said this, Ginger Yun's mind exploded!
Although he had vaguely guessed the contents of the three tests before, when he heard Liu Zhendong say them out loud at this moment, his mind was still greatly shocked for a while.
The Liu family, or the three tests within the seventh layer of this prison, are exactly the same as the entrance trials of the Wenda Sect!
Could it be that the Seven Layers of Hell and the Questioning Dao Sect are somehow related
"Impossible!"
Ginger Cloud unwittingly uttered these three words from her mouth, while Liu Zhen Dong on the side was slightly taken aback and said, "What's impossible"
Jiang Yun then came to his senses, feeling embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Did Liu Peng fail all three tests"
Liu Zhendong sighed heavily again and said, "It seems that Gu Dao also guessed it."
"Yes, Peng'er failed all three tests. His heart is not in the Dao, his body does not resonate with it, and his spirit lacks the necessary qualities. He is fundamentally unfit for cultivation."
"For those of us born into the prison of samsara, life offers only two paths to choose from."
"One path is to never cultivate and live as an ordinary person. Though you may not attain any cultivation, you won't have to worry about poison gas, and you can at least live a peaceful life until the end."
"The other is to drink poison to quench thirst, absorbing these toxic spiritual energies to forcibly cultivate and embark on the path of cultivation."
Back then, Peng'er’s test results were laid out before him. The best path he could take was to become an ordinary person.
"This result disappointed everyone, including me as a father."
"But Peng'er himself was unwilling to accept this reality. Also, in order not to disappoint me, he trained much harder than anyone else, just to prove that he could become powerful."
By the time Liu Zhen Dong got to this point, Ginger Yun no longer needed to listen.
Because Liu Peng's experience, I am too familiar with it, and it is very similar to myself!
Liu Peng was unwilling to become an ordinary person and didn't want to disappoint his father and clan members. Despite knowing that he wasn't suited for cultivation, he stubbornly embarked on the path of cultivation.
From his current status as a Dongtian cultivator, it's not hard to see that the effort he has put in is far beyond anyone else.
This kind of effort, if it were in a normal world, would be a good thing. But in this prison, such effort is a bad thing.
Even if the Liu family could come up with enough offerings, allowing Liu Peng to repeatedly find the golden toad to remove the toxins from his body after being saturated with poison, everything has its limits.
If the toxins in Liu Peng's body become saturated again, I'm afraid even Jin Chan would be powerless.
By then, even though Liu Peng wouldn't necessarily die, he would become a complete cripple.
Although his father, Liu Zhendong, took care of him and allowed him to survive, that kind of life was worse than death for Liu Peng.
That's why Liu Zhendong didn't want Liu Peng to continue cultivating, and even went so far as to beg this outsider who had only been in the Liu family for a few days.
Liu Zhen Dong looked at the silent Jiang Yun, and spoke again: "A month later, my Liu family will have a chance to enter Taoyuan City."
"If Brother Gu is willing to help, then no matter the success or failure, Liu will be on the list of those entering the city, and Brother Gu's name will be added as well!"
Ginger Yun rubbed her temples, a wry smile on her face. "Let me think about it," she said.
You're welcome!
Liu Zhen Dong didn't say anything more, bowed to Jiang Yun as a gesture of respect, then turned and left.
But Jiang Yun frowned and fell into deep thought.
His mind was not on Liu Peng, but rather on the three tests.
Although I failed all three initiation tests, the experience of going through them allowed me to meet my senior brother and embark on the path of cultivation.
And under the repeated insistence of his senior brother that these three trials were merely superficial and lacked substance, he gradually lost interest in them.
So, one doesn't even know whether these three tests are exclusive to the Question Dao Sect, or if other sects within the Shan Hai Realm also have such customs.
If that's the case, then it means such rules are probably universal across all worlds.
Then it is not surprising that there are such rules in prison.
The prisoners in the Dao Prison, including Liu's earliest ancestors, all came from other worlds.
After they established their family clans within the prison, they continued this practice.
If the former is the case, then it would be intriguing to see such a situation arise within a prison.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's divine sense immediately entered the Wuyan Puppet Lantern and his own life fire separately.
After asking both Huo Duming and Gui Li separately, Jiang Yun received negative answers.
Their two major sects didn't originally have this rule of a three-stage test.
However, their answers did not hold much significance for Ginger Cloud.
After all, their clans are one demon clan and one ghost clan, while the Questioning Dao Sect is a genuine human dao sect.
"Forget it, don't dwell on this. It was probably just a coincidence."
Ginger shook her head, putting the matter aside for now.
He had enough mysteries plaguing him already, he truly didn't want to find himself tangled up in more.
Next, Ginger Cloud's thoughts naturally turned to Liu Peng.
To be honest, he didn't really want to persuade Liu Peng to give up cultivation.
But he also knew that if Liu Peng continued to cultivate, the consequences would be terrible.
Although there are solutions, they ultimately lead back to the starting point. The root of the problem is how to completely remove toxins from the body.
"Apart from refining antidote pills, is there really no other way"
"As for the golden toad clan, which removes toxins, can they only remove a little, or can they completely remove them"
"Looks like I'll have to make another trip to the Reincarnation Cave. At the same time, I might as well check on that Firebird and see if it kept its promise."
Ginger Cloud did not immediately leave, but stayed at the Liu family for three more days.
But just as he stepped out of the house and into the yard, a tiny black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, hurtling towards him at incredible speed.
Jiang Yun almost instinctively raised his hand, but when he saw the shadow, his palm froze in mid-air, allowing it to fall onto him. It was the firebird!
Although now the Huǒniǎo has a coat of black feathers and its size is much smaller, Jiāng Yún can naturally recognize it at a glance.
Seeing the Thunderbird appear on its own, Jiang Yun naturally exclaimed in surprise and delight: "How did you find me"
At this moment, the Firebird's eyes sparkled with brilliance. It didn't answer Jiang Yun's question, instead a strange smile appeared on its face.
This smile caused a chill to run down Jiang Yun's spine for no reason.
He had spent over a year with the firebird, becoming quite familiar with its habits, but he had never seen it smile like this before.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak and ask again, a commotion suddenly arose from outside Liu's Manor.
"The Liu family, come out and give us that black bird!"
