Chapter 4171: Neither Ancient Nor Modern

duals who naturally knew about Dao things. It's just that no one had ever seen it before.Nor would they have thought that this foreign demon brought back by Xueqing would actually possess a Taoist bo...Looking at the stone that emitted ripples, Jiang Yun murmured, "It really is ancient power!"

The word "story" reminded Jiang Yun of "the ancient clan"!

...while the master's true identity is that of an ancient sage, revered for his wisdom and adherence to tradition.

Since everything on Mount Huajiang is set up by the master a long, long time ago, it may have nothing to do with the Dao domain.

Then, the key to unlocking these arrangements lies in oneself, and those closely related to both oneself and the master. As for Ginger Cloud, all he could think of was the power of antiquity.

Ancient times, including ancient demons, ancient cultivators, ancient devils, and ancient spirits.

The power possessed by these ancients belongs to the ancient might.

Although Jiang Yun is not ancient, he possesses the power of both ancient demons and ancient monsters.

Just now, Jiang Yun used the power of ancient demons to input it into the stone, which is what caused the stone to vibrate.

Besides him, his eldest senior brother Dongfang Bo might be a cunning spirit, and his third senior brother Xuanyuan Xing might be an ancient demon.

This also means that all three brothers have a chance to open the stone.

Even, with the strength to tear open the membrane before, Jiang Yun now understands that it wasn't a Dao technique, but rather an ancient kind of supernatural ability. It was just similar to the Eight Hardships Dao techniques.

As for the inhabitants of the Heavenly Domains, there's also a group called Gu. Although they can be considered descendants of the ancients in a loose sense, in Jiang Yun's opinion, the power they possess differs from the true ancient force originating from the Four Realms Repository. Therefore, if it were them who came here, they definitely wouldn't be able to understand all the secrets left behind by their master.

Of course, even great celestial beings like the Heavenly Inspectors are unable to do so.

As for Master and Uncle Master, whether they could do it, Jiang Yun wasn't sure.

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar echoed in Jiang Yun's ear. Inside the stone he held, a blinding light shot out, enveloping his body.

Before Jiang Yun could react, the tiny pebble in his eyes suddenly swelled wildly, rapidly transforming into a towering mountain.

At the same time, a tremendous suction force emanated from the stone, pulling at Jiang Yun's body.

This suction, with Ginger Cloud's current strength, could actually counteract it.

But since this stone was left behind by the master, Ginger Cloud naturally wouldn't resist. So he let himself be enveloped by this force, and suddenly rushed towards the stone in front of him, which had already become like a mountain.

"Click!"

As Ginger Cloud's form entered the pebble, this pebble, no bigger than a mung bean, fell from the air and landed precisely on the spot where it had previously been.

Ginger clouds vanished, the stones returned to their places, and the entire Hua Jiangshan restored to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, just moments later, two figures appeared at the foot of Huajiang Mountain!

Two figures, one old and one young.

She was only about five or six years old, a little girl. She was as delicate as porcelain, with two small braids on her head. She was very cute.

The old man was full of wrinkles, with a few strands of sparse white beard under his chin. His body was hunched over, his eyes cloudy, and he held a cane in his hand.

Although the girl was not as tall as the elder's cane, she was very considerate and reached out to help support the elder's arm. Holding onto the elder, she walked up the mountain, step by trembling step from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Although this old man was incredibly aged, it wasn't hard to see that his appearance bore a certain resemblance to Yuan An.

Two people, old and young, walked not too fast, nor too slow. Step by step, they finally arrived at the summit.

Standing atop the mountain peak, the old man looked down at the entire Hua Jiang Mountain and muttered to himself: "Since Ancient Bu Lao disappeared from here, in just over twenty years, it has opened once again!"

The ancient, undying master and his senior brothers had not been able to enter it, but his disciples had.

"It seems that this Ginger Cloud is the one Gu Bulao has truly been waiting for!"

"However, this Ginger Cloud is indeed quite interesting!"

Saying this, the elder turned his head to look at the little girl, a kind smile spreading across his face. "Girl," he said, "let me test you. Do you know why I said that Ginger Cloud has some potential"

The little girl was also turning her head, looking around. Hearing the elder's question, she blinked her clear big eyes and said: "Is it because the ginger cloud is neither ancient nor modern"

"Haha!" The girl's reply caused the old man to burst into laughter. He reached out with his withered hand and gently patted her head, saying, "Can you tell me more about what you mean by 'neither ancient nor modern'"

The girl tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at the old man pitifully. "Grandpa, I want to eat candied fruit!"

The old man was slightly taken aback, chuckled and shook his head, saying: "You little girl, your mouth is so greedy!"

Although his words sounded like complaints, the old man raised his wrist with a flick, and a candied apple was already in the girl's hand.

The girl's face lit up immediately. She took the candied hawthorn and bit directly into a piece of hawthorn, chewing vigorously while saying, "Non-ancient naturally refers to the fact that he is not from the ancient lineage."

The elder smiled and asked, "How do you know he's not from one of the ancient lineages I think he might be an ancient cultivator!"

The girl continued to munch on her candied gourd and said, "Impossible!"

"Looking at his blood, it was golden in color, surging with vigorous energy, like a vast ocean."

Moreover, he bears the surname Jiang. His bloodline should be that of the Jiang clan from Ku Yu, a lineage renowned for their encompassing blood capable of harmonizing all kinds of power in the world.

The Jiang clan is not one of the ancient lineages, so his Jiang Yun is naturally not one of the ancient lineages either!

The old man nodded and said, "If not now, then how else can we explain it"

The girl said, "This makes more sense now. His path to enlightenment wasn't like how people cultivate today."

His physical body was incredibly strong, clearly cultivated from the ancient demonic lineage's body-refining technique.

And just now, when he grasped the stone, for a moment the power of the ancient demon appeared within him, and it was finally replaced by the power of the ancient devil.

This proves that he also possesses the power of ancient demons.

Although I don't know if he possesses ancient spirit power, there is a strong aura of ancient spirits about him. It seems he must have had a very deep connection with ancient spirits.

Therefore, he is neither ancient nor modern!

The old man stroked his sparse whiskers and continued, "Apart from being neither ancient nor modern, what else did you see in him"

The girl stopped chewing on the candied hawthorn, as if she was trying hard to recall something.

After a moment, she continued, "His cultivation level was clearly only at the fourth level of the Reincarnation Realm, but his true strength should have reached the Void Soaring Realm. He is a cultivator who transcends the restrictions."

"Nine realms are forbidden, and his strength surpasses that of nine realms. This Jiang Yun is quite remarkable."

The old man's face broke into a pleased smile. "My girl, it seems that the future of our Yuan family will now rest on your shoulders."

"I won't do that!" The girl shook her head and said, "I'd rather be like Uncle Yuan An, a storyteller who is free and easy, living a carefree life!"

The elder suddenly darkened his face, wanting to scold the girl, but seeing her intently munching on candied hawthorn with focus, he couldn't bear it. He could only shake his head helplessly and say: "Do you think being a storyteller is easy"

Your uncle Yuan An went to be a storyteller because, among our Yuan family, only he possessed this talent.

"

You want to be a storyteller, but you don't have the ability. Just obediently...

"

Before the elder could finish his words, he closed his mouth and raised his head to look into the distance. "What do you see about those who followed Gu Bulao"

The girl finally swallowed the last hawthorn berry, her lips still lingering with the flavor as she said, "He's even more interesting now. Two souls in one body, each with their own hidden agenda!" powerful cultivator at the Daotai realm and an esteemed elder of the Yaodao Sect, it is only with the help of various pills and some special techniques that I can possess such a powerful divine sense...
