Chapter 3,324: The Gatekeeper

re desolate realm of Shan Hai vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an endless expanse of darkness.These scenes only lasted for a fleeting moment, and Hai Yuxue's vision returned to normal. It...As the Spirit Master's voice fell, Jiang Yun's breathing became rapid and uneven.

About her own origins and the whereabouts of her parents, has always been Jiang Yun's biggest mystery.

When he was young, Ginger Cloud thought he was just an ordinary orphan. Since his grandfather and the villagers of Ginger Village had taken him in, he lived a carefree life and never even thought about his parents.

But as he left Jiang Village and embarked on his cultivation journey, his past gradually revealed itself piece by piece, like unraveling a thread.

But at that time, he thought he was an abandoned child left by his parents.

Although there was resentment, even hatred towards his parents, the thick blood relationship made him want to know their news, and he wanted to ask them why they abandoned him.

Until he met Dao Wuming, and learned that his parents had sent him to the Shan Hai Realm not out of their own volition but out of helplessness and a desire to protect him, all his resentment and bitterness vanished. Only the desire to find them remained.

Although Dao Wu Ming had already told him, his parents might have fled to the Four Realms' hidden land.

But regarding Dao Wuming, who had no known affiliation, whether he was loyal or treacherous, Jiang Yun's heart remained doubtful. Therefore, toward Dao Wuming's words, he didn't dare to believe them completely.

And now, the confidante of his father, this red-faced beauty, has not only finally met her own parents but also personally sent them off.

This also means that he can finally know the whereabouts of his parents and the truth about his origins. How could he not be excited! Looking at Jiang Yun's appearance, Lingzhu naturally understands Jiang Yun's feelings at this moment. He extends his hand and gently places it on Jiang Yun's shoulder, saying heavily: "Your parents are definitely still alive!"

Just such a simple sentence made Jiang Yun's heart suddenly feel grounded! The Spirit Master also retracted his hand, closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, continued, "Although the Spirit Ancient Domain has fallen to this state, the cause is indeed because your father was the first to discover the Spirit Ancient Domain."

"Although many of the Spirit Clan, even including many Mirror Spirits like myself, harbor some resentment towards your father... "But I have never blamed him!"

“Even if your father hadn’t been there, someone else would have eventually discovered the Linggu Realm. The Zhutian Jidu would have still attacked the Linggu Realm, just a matter of time.”

"Even, I am very grateful to your father!"

"I'm grateful for his appearance, grateful that he let me know that there is heaven beyond the heavens and realms beyond the realms. Thank you for not leaving my spirit race when we were in danger, and for going all out to help us!"

"It's a pity that his actions have offended many people in the Celestial Realm, bringing disaster upon him, your parents, and the entire Jiang family!"

"You should actually blame our Spirit Race!"

Jiang Yun shook his head, his expression calm. "Senior, these things are all in the past. Now, trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong is pointless."

"Just as you said before, even without the father's help, the Mirror Spirit Clan would still face suspicion and resentment from some people in the Multiverse due to the strength of the father and the Ginger Clan."

"Even then, they will still find other reasons to attack my Jiang clan!"

Unless the Jiang clan truly becomes invincible, they will ultimately be unable to escape the fate of being exterminated!

After going through so many things and learning about his own past, Jiang Yun had long realized that many things were not as simple as right and wrong.

Even, many times, it's impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong.

After all, everyone's position is different, and their perspective on issues is also different.

So, he truly didn't attribute the reason for the annihilation of his Ginger clan to the Spirit Clan.

Jiang Yun's words caused a look of surprise to appear on Ling Zhu's face.

Looking at Jiang Yun for a long moment, the surprise on her face gradually turned into relief and admiration as she said, "Your personality is very similar to your father's."

"You, the Jiang family line, are all extraordinary men. It's no wonder that my Jingling clan bestowed upon you our surname!"

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and said, "The surname of the Jingling Clan is related to my Jiang Clan"

The Spirit Master smiled and nodded, saying: "Actually, our Mirror Spirit Clan didn't have surnames originally. It was only after meeting your father that our Mirror Spirit Clan acquired surnames!"

Jian Yun suddenly realized, the "Jiang" surname of the Jing Ling clan was actually due to his own father! It seemed that the Spirit Master, out of love for his father, had changed the surnames of all the Jing Ling people to "Jiang"... Next, the Spirit Master told Jian Yun in detail about what happened back then.

And most of what happened before, Ginger Cloud had already heard from Ginger Puppet.

The father accidentally stumbled into the ancient spiritual realm and became acquainted with the spiritual master, forging a friendship.

When the father left Linggu domain and returned to Zhutianji domain, it also exposed the existence of Linggu domain to Zhutianji domain.

After that, the Celestial Domains launched a war against the Spirit Ancient Realm. My father not only failed to help the Celestial Domains but instead helped the Spirit Race, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Therefore, the first battle between Gu and Jiang was fought, leading to the ultimate destruction of the Jiang clan.

But when Jiang Shi was in trouble, the Spirit Master actually knew about it. However, at that time, she had to lead the Spirit Race to resist the forces of the myriad heavens, and she couldn't go there in person to help.

Although she dispatched a Spirit Venerable, compared to the vast Heavenly Domains Gathering, it was still a weak force and did not change the fate of the Jiang clan being eradicated.

After the extermination of the Ginger Clan, just a few days later, the Spirit Master encountered the severely injured Ginger Qiuyang and his wife, sending them to—the Four Realms Sanctuary. "Ginger Yun, at that time your parents told me that the Four Realms Sanctuary was the final retreat they chose for themselves."

"However, because you are too young, they cannot guarantee your safety within the Four Realms. So, they had to send you away early."

They also said, perhaps one day you will enter the Linggu Domain and see me.

"They asked me to tell you that they have never forgotten you and think of you constantly!"

By this point, the spiritual master was weeping copiously.

Although she spoke simply, given the circumstances at the time, it was naturally impossible for things to be as easy as she described them now.

But Jiang Yun stood there, his eyes closed slightly, silent and saying nothing.

To this day, he finally knew his true origins clearly and distinctly. He understood the reason behind the annihilation of his clan, the Jiang clan, and learned the whereabouts of his parents.

However, he knew better. For him, this was just the beginning.

As a son, I wouldn't say that I want to avenge my parents or the Ginger Clan, but at least I want to find them so that our family of three can be reunited.

After a long while, Jiang Yun opened his eyes and said, "Spirit Master senior, what exactly is the Four Realms Sanctuary"

Since the Spirit Master himself sent his own parents into the Four Realms Burial Ground, the entrance to the Four Realms Burial Ground must be hidden within this Ancient Spirit Realm.

And since the Spirit Lord can open up portals, they must certainly have an in-depth understanding of the Four Realms' hidden spaces.

However, what Ginger Cloud didn't expect was that the Spirit Master actually shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Jiang Yun looked at the Spirit Master, saying word by word: "Senior, I know that the Four Realms Hidden Realm must be full of danger, and I don't want to enter it now."

"I just want to learn more about it, prepare myself thoroughly. I'll only enter when my strength is sufficient!"

In Jiang Yun's estimation, it was probably the Spirit Master who worried that he would rush to find his parents, so he deliberately refused to tell him.

The Spirit Master wryly smiled and said, "Jiang Yun, I'm not lying to you. I truly don't know what the Four Realms Concealment is like!

Although I am the Spirit Master, in actuality, my identity is merely that of a gatekeeper. With my position, I am fundamentally not qualified to enter the Four Realms Repository!At the same time, his mind was filled with images of a praying mantis he had encountered before!That mantis, it wasn't willing to become a cultivator's pet, but it was forced into it by cruel means.
