Chapter 961: A Greeting

hat would be highly unlikely.This year, I followed the firebird chasing meteors, traveling east and west, and visiting many places.Even at a distance of at least hundreds of thousands of miles from th...You need to know that before Jiang Yun stepped onto the Five Peaks of Great Desolation, those who had gone there, regardless of their cultivation level or whether they were members of the Wasteland Clan, all had to walk step by step through every single staircase.

No one can cross two stairs at once!

However, now, Jiang Yun took one step and directly leaped across seven steps.

And as everyone knows, nine steps constitute a single barrier. The reverberating force emanating from the steps increases severalfold, so everyone pauses for a moment before stepping into the next barrier.

But Ginger Cloud's move wasn't just crossing seven steps, it went beyond the number forty-nine as well.

This scene stunned everyone into standing abruptly, craning their necks to stare intently at the stairs beneath Jiang Yun's feet, wondering if they were seeing things.

Of course, the sacrificial offering also changed drastically, his eyes gleaming with cold light!

As a priest, his status was special, so he knew better than others that in the history of the barbarian race, there were indeed more than one person who could cross multiple levels at once on sacred artifacts!

It is precisely from the birth of the Huaru clan that those three individuals have successfully completed ninety-nine steps of the Huaru clan!

One person even leaped across thirty steps in a single bound.

But apart from the three of them, no one else in the Waste Tribe could do this.

However, this outsider, Ginger Cloud, actually accomplished it!

This made the Shaman of the Waste Tribe's mind immediately think, could Gingercloud also walk all ninety-nine steps

If that's really the case, then the bet I just made with Jiangyun wouldn't be just about winning an argument anymore.

Because back then, Ginger Cloud was not only treated as a honored guest by the Wilderness Tribes, but could even easily replace the position of their sacrificial priest.

It might sound impossible for an outsider to serve as a tribal priest, but the sacred teachings of the Barbarian tribe state otherwise.

As long as someone can successfully walk past the ninety-nine steps of the sacred object, then even if he is an enemy of the barbarians, they must satisfy all his requests and keep him in the barbarian tribe.

Because only such people can truly unleash the full power of the Orcish Relic!

Therefore, if Jiangyun truly walked all the steps, then he would have to die by his own hand!

Thinking back to when Jiang Yun stepped onto the third step, I had almost exerted all my control over the sacred artifact to stop him. Yet, Jiang Yun's wild pattern effortlessly erased it...

At this moment, a sliver of fear, something he had never felt in his life, appeared in the heart of the barbarian priest. And the object of his fear was an outsider cultivator whom he had never taken seriously.

"It's impossible, I must have overthought it. Back then, the three ancestors who reached the summit were all from within our ranks, and their cultivation levels were at least in the Nine Desolations Realm."

"Even if this Ginger Cloud's strength is high, it definitely can't surpass mine!"

Although the priest continuously sought reasons to comfort himself, the sliver of fear in his heart was something he could never shake.

Besides the sacrifice, both Aohuang Yan and Aolah also had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Even the reclusive Elder who had never spoken a word finally spoke, exclaiming, "How did he do it!"

Huang Junyan glanced at Huang Lao, suppressing the shock on his face and said: "It's a pity that our clan's sacred artifact is lifeless. Otherwise, perhaps we could know."

Yes, the holy objects of the Wu tribe are without spirits. This is a great regret for the Wu tribe.

If artifacts have spirits, then their power would be amplified even further. They wouldn't resort to issuing recruitment orders and seeking the aid of foreign cultivators when facing the God-Slaying Temple.

At this moment, standing on the thirty-seventh step, Gingercloud remained expressionless. His figure was as steady as a mountain, unwavering, as if the steps beneath him held no force to shake him at all.

But his wildly dancing long hair made it clear to everyone that there was still a reverberation of force emanating from within the steps!

But the rebounding force was no longer able to shake Jiang Yun's form.

It's not that it can't be shaken, but rather that Jiang Yun has already come into contact with the secrets of this sacred artifact of the Wild Clan!

Lu Lun's voice once again echoed softly in Lu Piao Miao's mind.

And this time, a tinge of envy, even a hint of jealousy, could be heard in his voice.

As a sacred relic spirit of the Samsara clan, he naturally knew all the secrets of the Samsara Tree. Therefore, only he could judge the current state of Jiangyun.

If he had been able to enter this illusory realm just as effortlessly as Jiang Yun did the first time, then he wouldn't have ended up becoming a spirit tool. Therefore, he genuinely felt a mix of envy and jealousy towards Jiang Yun.

Although Lü Piaomiao was very curious about what secrets were hidden within the sacred artifacts of the Wasteland Tribe, he did not speak up.

Because he knew very well that even if he asked, Lü Lun wouldn't say anything, so he just kept silent and watched Jiang Yun silently.

In fact, Ginger Cloud could step over seven steps in one go. Even he couldn't say for sure why.

It was just because, after three more strokes of his perception etched onto the desolate patterns, a breath surged out from among the Five Peaks of Great Desolation, enveloping his body.

This aura was completely different from the one that had given him a sense of enlightenment earlier.

There was no power within it, but rather a feeling of warmth and familiarity.

This breath, like a greeting!

It was as if I had once climbed these five peaks of this vast wilderness, and now, stepping onto the same peak again, it didn't immediately recognize me.

Not until it had realized three desolate script patterns within itself did it recognize itself, thus sending a long-awaited greeting to itself, welcoming its return.

Driven by this feeling, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but feel that in the distant past, he had truly once climbed the five peaks of the Great Wilderness.

Even, once leaped over several steps at a time.

Therefore, he was confident enough to gamble with the priest, and after winning the bet, he also tried to make each of his steps as many stairs as possible.

As it turned out, he did it!

Now, standing on the steps, the breath of greeting has vanished, replaced by waves of counter-force.

While this rebound force was powerful, it was still within Jiang Yun's tolerance range.

Because the tremors and storms he had experienced before were all caused by the machinations of dark forces during the rituals, now the tremors he feels are the normal state of the Five Peaks of the Desolate Lands.

It was the same intensity of shockwave force that he felt when he first walked to this location with Reito.

Such a powerful force, even when Jiang Yun had already displayed the Diamond Demon Body, was unable to shake his body at all and was completely resolved by him.

Looking at the vast Five Peaks beneath her feet, Jiang Yun thoughtfully said, "After the greetings are over, this sacred artifact of the desolate race will return to its original state."

It seems that even old friends, if they want to climb to the peak again, still have to follow the rules.

However, the rules of relics, I seem to have understood.

The power contained within the sacred relics of the Wilderness Tribe is not meant to stop others from reaching the summit. Its true purpose is to help them, to awaken the various powers within their own bodies!

The power it emanates is like a flood. When it surges into the body, if you only try to resist and block it head-on, it's not a sustainable solution at all.

The real way is to clear the blockage, guide it, and disperse the flood of energy throughout your body. Constantly stimulate the power within you.

The more power unleashed within one's body, the greater the recognition received from the Sacred Objects of the Barbarian Clan, enabling them to ascend higher and even reach the summit!

"This, is the true way of the Waste Clan!

"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun raised his head and looked at the peak in the distance.

"To know if my guess is correct, just try it."

First published on the Popular Novel Network Jiang Yun closed his eyes. The fire of life within him suddenly surged violently and swelled wildly, transforming into a colossal expanse of a hundred zhang in radius.Then, the fire began to condense...
