Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

Jiang Yun raised his hand and opened a jar of fairy wine that had been treasured for many years. Immediately, the rich aroma of the wine filled the air, as if it was going to intoxicate the entire Mount Tai.

The two of them stood on the top of Mount Tai, putting aside all their identities and worries, and just like two ordinary mortal brothers, they drank, chatted, and shared their experiences and stories over the years.

"Cousin, has your origin really turned into irreversible darkness?"

"What? Are you scared?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? Whether you are black or white, I only know that you are my cousin. That has not changed."

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn't feel like the time when I was young."

"Cousin, before the Nine Dragons Coffin appeared, I never thought that my brother and I would meet again on Mount Tai five thousand years later, and what we talked about was not expanding the company, but pursuing the Great Dao!"

Ye Fan's eyes were already a little hazy and a little drunk. He looked towards the place where the Nine Dragon Coffin fell, his eyes full of memories and emotion.

The scene that once changed his destiny seemed to have happened just yesterday, so close, but now, everything has changed beyond recognition.

"Life is full of uncertainties. Everything in the past seemed like a dream. I never thought I would witness the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin with my own eyes!"

Ye Fan's words evoked Jiang Yun's memories. He seemed to be drunk, but in fact he was touched and his thoughts gradually became empty.

The scenes from those years kept emerging in his mind, those thrilling adventures, those unforgettable battles, those joys and sorrows with his family and friends, all played before his eyes like a movie.

Ye Fan thought that his cousin was just lamenting the passage of time and the impermanence of life, but he didn't know that what Jiang Yun was thinking about was his own wonderful experience of solving the mystery in the womb and accidentally becoming Ye Fan's cousin.

That mysterious past not only changed the trajectory of his life, but also led to a deep brotherhood between him and Ye Fan.

On the top of Mount Tai, accompanied by fine wine and fresh breeze, the two men immersed themselves in this rare time together, forgetting the troubles of the world, and only the purest emotions between brothers flowed.

The mountain breeze blew slowly across the top of Mount Tai, bringing a slight chill, but it was unable to blow away the strong drunkenness around Ye Fan.

This is the fairy wine that Jiang Yun treasures, and Ye Fan is only the Supreme.

His eyes were blurred as he looked towards the distant mountains half-hidden by clouds, as if he could see through the layers of clouds and mist the long years he had walked along the way.

"Cousin, I sometimes wonder whether I was me in the past, or I am me now, or I will be me in the future."

Ye Fan's voice was a little hoarse from being drunk, and his words were filled with deep confusion about his own existence. The voice echoed on the empty mountain top like an ancient question from heaven.

"My current self and my past self have completely different thoughts, ideas and views. It seems like I am two completely different people. Am I still myself?"

He frowned slightly, his face full of confusion, as if he was trapped in a maze of thoughts that he couldn't escape.

The young boy who was once ignorant and naive, and only wanted to make a name for himself in the city, and the strong man who has experienced countless hardships on the road of cultivation and looks down on all living beings today, seem to be two completely different souls.

"Is it what I see and think that makes me who I am, or am I already destined to be, and what I see, think and achieve in the future will never change!?"

Ye Fan continued to mutter to himself, with a hint of confusion and hesitation in his tone. In his mind, countless fragments of memories flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

Those thrilling journeys on the Nine Dragons Coffin, the life and death trials during the practice, each experience is shaping who he is now, but he feels more and more as if he is lost in this long torrent of time.

"Is it the past that has passed away? Or am I the one who has changed?"

There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, as if he was saying goodbye to his past self, or as if he was searching for the true meaning of life.

“Is there another me in the world?”

Ye Fan's eyes were a little hazy, as if he had had a broken dream. In the dream, there was no cousin in the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin, and everything in this world was different.

In that illusory dream, the trajectory of his life was completely rewritten. Without Jiang Yun's company and guidance, everything he experienced became strange and distant.

There are several more degrees of tragedy in his life. If he had a choice, he would be luckier in this world.

"Whether in the past or in the future, there is only one true self that exists in this world."

Jiang Yun's voice was steady and powerful, ringing like a huge bell on the top of the mountain, breaking Ye Fan's confusion and bewilderment.

He gently put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Ye Fan firmly, his eyes revealing the wisdom and composure that came from years of experience.

“Everything we see, think and imagine is just a force that nourishes the growth of our true self. We are just growing, not changing.”

He raised his head slightly and looked at the vast and boundless sky, as if telling the eternal truth to heaven and earth.

Just like a seedling breaking through the soil, it thrives under the nourishment of sunshine and rain. Although its form is constantly changing, its essence remains that seedling.

"We were protected by ourselves yesterday."

Jiang Yun paused and spoke slowly, with a hint of warmth in his voice.

Past experiences, whether laughter or tears, are the most precious treasures in life. They are like solid barriers, protecting the truest self deep in our hearts.

Over the years, they have continued to move forward and grow. Although they have been shouldering more and more responsibilities and missions, their original intentions have never changed.

On the top of Mount Tai, the breeze was blowing gently and the night was dark. Jiang Yun and Ye Fan sat opposite each other drinking, and the air around them seemed to be filled with the mellowness of time.

They left behind the crises and confusions on their way to practice, and gave up their arduous pursuit of the laws of heaven and earth. Today, they only talk about the various flavors of life and savor the vicissitudes of time.

Cup after cup of celestial wine emitting an alluring and mellow aroma was picked up and drunk in one gulp; the spicy liquid flowed down the throat, turning into a heart full of pride and emotion.

The night is like water, the darkness is spreading silently, as if it is going to swallow up the whole world.

However, at the darkest moment, a ray of light quietly emerged on the horizon.

Not long after, the red sun broke through the clouds like a giant that had broken free from its restraints. In an instant, thousands of golden lights burst out, as if the power of heaven had descended, carrying endless great force and instantly dispelling the darkness.

The golden light was like a sharp sword, piercing through the clouds and illuminating the mountains and rivers. Every inch of land and every leaf was covered by this dazzling light. It was a shocking scene, and the heaven and earth were showing their greatness and majesty.

The light of the rising red sun shone brilliantly on the top of Mount Tai, casting a sacred and warm golden glow on the two people drinking.

Their figures appeared taller and taller in the light, as if they had merged into one with the world.

Jiang Yun slowly stood up with a faint smile on his face. In that smile, there was both nostalgia for the past and calmness about the unknown future.

"I am leaving."

His voice echoed on the empty mountaintop, with a hint of unquestionable determination.

Bathed in the golden light, he waved his hand gently and said goodbye to Ye Fan. Then, his figure slowly disappeared among the thousands of golden lights like a petal blown away by the wind, leaving only the gradually dissipating aftereffects to prove that he had been here.

Although Ye Fan was still drunk, Jiang Yun's silent disappearance made him sober up instantly.

He opened his eyes, trying to catch the last trace of Jiang Yun's departure, but everything around him seemed so calm, as if Jiang Yun had never appeared.

A speechless feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. Jiang Yun's current strength was so powerful that he couldn't sense anything at all. What kind of realm was this?
"Cousin, cousin, how do you practice?"

Ye Fan murmured to himself, his tone full of amazement and admiration.

I still remember that the two of them met here and embarked on the path of cultivation together. At that time, they both had curiosity and longing for the unknown world, and walked side by side on this road full of thorns and challenges.

Although Jiang Yun had some unique opportunities and was suspected of having inherited part of the Tao Te Ching, he had the complete "Tao Te Ching".

But Ye Fan is not bad either. He obtained the Bodhi seeds on Mars, and his cousin also shared Taoist scriptures with him. Why is he getting worse and worse now?
Ye Fan has been puzzled over the years.

But who could have thought that in just five thousand years, cousin Jiang Yun could reach such an enviable height.

"I need to work harder. I still have potential to tap. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see my cousin's back."

Ye Fan's eyes revealed a firm determination. Compared with Jiang Yun, he still had a long way to go.

Jiang Yun has experienced a journey from weak to invincible in the fairy world, and even ascended to the top of the fairy alliance, becoming the master of that vast world.

Although he has fallen into darkness now, Ye Fan feels that this will not be a problem for his cousin, a kind of blind confidence.

This made Ye Fan, who had just enjoyed a moment of peace after being invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths, feel a strong sense of urgency in his heart again.

Although he didn't ask, he could keenly perceive that the enemy that Jiang Yun was worried about now was so powerful that even he felt helpless.

How terrifying is this?
Jiang Yun walked out of the mundane world, overcoming all obstacles along the way, first ruling the nine heavens and ten earths, and opening up a unique path to immortality, an achievement that many practitioners dream of but find difficult to achieve.

He then ascended to the fairyland, and in that world full of powerful people, he took charge of the entire fairyland and became the first leader of the fairy alliance in tens of millions of years. Along the way, he created many unimaginable miracles.

But now, facing the future, he seems powerless to change it, and can only fall into darkness in order to protect them. What kind of crisis and secrets are hidden behind this?

Ye Fan's heart was filled with worries and doubts. He secretly vowed to practice hard and improve his strength so that he could fight side by side with his cousin sooner or later.

The stars moved and the constellations changed. Jiang Yun took a step forward. That step seemed to cross endless time and space dimensions, and in an instant he arrived at the end of the mysterious passage at the bottom of Kunlun.

Before my eyes was a deep and bottomless whirlpool, like a giant eye from hell, emitting a chilling aura.

Jiang Yun looked solemn as he slowly summoned the Emperor's Spear. The divine weapon that carried supreme power and glory shone with an ancient and mysterious light in his hand.

"Hey!"

He swung the spear lightly, and the imperial spear cut through the void with a sharp whistle. The laws of order shot out from the tip of the spear like nimble snakes.

In an instant, the vortex channel began to rotate violently, making a dull roar, as if a sleeping beast was awakened.

As this powerful force surged, this section of the mysterious reincarnation path slowly opened.

Jiang Yun stepped into it steadily, and a desolate and dead atmosphere hit him in the face, as if he was at the end of the universe, and time and space had lost their meaning.

It has been who knows how many years since any living creature set foot in this restricted area, and a suffocating silence permeates the air.

He looked around and found that this place was not much different from the previous section of the Samsara Road he had visited. It was also dark and desolate, as if it was a corner forgotten by the world.

However, the next moment, a thick dark energy came towards him like a surging black wave.

Jiang Yun's expression changed instantly, a hint of vigilance and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Why is there such a strong dark aura in this section of the Samsara Path? The place arranged by Emperor Huang Tian should never be like this!"

His heart was filled with doubt and shock, as this went against everything he knew.

"Hasn't the dark side of Brother Di Gu already appeared? It shouldn't be like that! It's far from the time yet!"

Jiang Yun pondered secretly in his heart, his brows tightly furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Even if Emperor Gu Ge was really resurrected, according to common sense, his dark side should have been suppressed by himself in a mysterious jar at the beginning, instead of appearing on the earth at this time and appearing in this cycle of reincarnation.

With this doubt and uneasiness in mind, Jiang Yun walked cautiously towards the source of the dark aura.

He took every step extremely cautiously, and the spiritual power around him was always on high alert, ready to evacuate through the Origin World at any time.

In this dark and silent road of reincarnation, it is so quiet that it makes people creepy. It is even more silent than the section of reincarnation road where the Nine-Colored Mysterious Bird is imprisoned. There is not even a dried-up corpse to be seen, and there is no trace of life left.

There are only cold and dark continents, like dead islands, floating in the dark and silent void.

Finally, in an ancient and mysterious valley space in the center of the continent, Jiang Yun saw a long-lost light.

"That is……"

His eyes were attracted by a huge creature at the end of the valley, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

I saw a huge millstone lying there. I don’t know what kind of mysterious stone it was carved from. It looked rough and simple, but it exuded an indescribable majesty.

This millstone is huge, comparable to a towering small city, and it stands out particularly in the dark void.

"Long~long~"

It rotates slowly, making a dull and rhythmic sound, as if it has never stopped from ancient times to the present, carrying the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history.

The most important thing is that the central hole of the grinding wheel, which was originally the entrance for grinding things, is now filled with black and white light, which are intertwined with each other like a huge yin and yang fish, interpreting the most mysterious yin and yang balance law in the universe.

The thick dark aura was emanating from the dark side of the hole in the center of the millstone.

The moment Jiang Yun's eyes fell there, a pressure as heavy as a mountain came over him, as if to crush his soul.

He felt his breathing stagnate and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

He did not dare to stop for a moment and quickly retreated a million miles before he dared to look into the distance.

In the depths of the darkness, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge dark skeleton in the hole that was constantly being ground by a millstone, making a dull sound.

A thick dark aura, like black smoke, continuously flows out from the skeleton and permeates the entire samsara path. (End of this chapter)
