Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

This had never happened before, and the victorious Celestial King was greatly surprised, but he did not dare to try it himself, and only spread the news.

Many people believe he was mistaken; the deceased Immortal King merely brushed against the sword light and was not actually involved.

However, some people noticed something amiss and began to test the sword light.

Upon learning the news, Zhulong immediately informed Jiang Yun.

In fact, after the great battle above the heavens ended, that sword light had already shown many unsettling phenomena, as if it would soon collapse on its own.

However, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor who unleashed the sword light was too terrifying, having slain a strange Immortal Emperor, making people afraid to risk attempting to cross the sword light.

The four origin sites of the strange race also agreed to remain silent, not even fighting over the altar fragments, let alone taking any more risks.

Therefore, Jiang Yun secretly ordered the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to observe from a distance.

When crossing that sword light, the Desolate Emperor appeared in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, had a deep conversation with Jiang Yun, and even took the initiative to cover up his traces. Everything in the past seemed to have been submerged.

But Jiang Yun knew that if the strange race were to return to the Boundary Sea, his identity might still be exposed.

He will eventually find an opportunity to return to the Boundary Sea and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the past. The Black Bird is the biggest variable.

A strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

"Perhaps we should go and take a look at the sword light."

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yun took a step onto the path of reincarnation and soon reappeared before the sword light.

He didn't disturb anyone, facing the terrifying light screen alone. In the endless universe, it seemed as if he was the only one left, unprecedented and unparalleled, and a sense of loneliness arose.

The sword light was the same as before, seemingly no different from when Jiang Yun crossed it, yet it also seemed quite different.

Is this the power of an Immortal Emperor?
Jiang Yun uttered such a sentiment once again, severing the Boundary Sea and the heavens with a single sword strike, seemingly even severing time itself.

Even when the Desolate Heavenly Emperor fought the Strange Immortal Emperor and killed the former emperor with a single sword strike, he withdrew most of the power from his sword light. The remaining light barrier was still enough to crush any strong person who dared to take the risk.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and threw out a strange immortal king, a reincarnation slave he had casually grabbed from the cycle of reincarnation.

As expected, the eerie Immortal King held out for a moment amidst the sword light, letting out a shrill scream before finally turning to ashes. A strange aura emanated from his corpse, but it eventually dissipated completely.

Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he had guessed, the sword light was indeed much weaker than before, but it was still terrifying. Jiang Yun calculated that even a Dao Ancestor would not be able to cross it and would surely die on the way.

This sword light is enough to last for hundreds of thousands of years, and can last until his sixth transformation.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in her heart, and the worry that had just arisen vanished instantly.

He looked up at the heavens, his gaze falling on the figure sitting cross-legged. The Desolate Emperor was still cultivating, as if he had existed there since time immemorial and would continue to exist there forever.

Just like the sword light of the past, it seems that nothing will ever change.

But Jiang Yun knew this was impossible.

"It's time to expand our influence in the underworld!" Jiang Yun exclaimed. This was a plan he had long ago, and he had even asked Liu Shen for the Emperor and Shi Yi for it.

After tens of thousands of years of preparation, Shi Yi and the Emperor gradually settled down in the underworld.

Occasionally, the two would take the initiative to communicate with Jiang Yun, but they would only discuss doubts on the path of cultivation, without involving any secrets, and even deliberately allowed other Dao Ancestors to listen in.

Over time, even the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld got used to it and joined in.

In particular, Dao Ancestor Ditian has deliberately cultivated a closer relationship with Jiang Yun in recent millennia, visiting him frequently and even guiding Shi Yi and the Emperor's cultivation.

This is a good opportunity. Jiang Yun decided to start with Di Tian and gradually win over the other Dao Ancestors in the Underworld. He could even try to purify a few of them.

But this must be done with utmost care, and no mistakes can be made, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

It involved enormous risks, but Jiang Yun still decided to give it a try.

This was not only to repay the Heavenly Emperor's kindness, but also a rehearsal. Jiang Yun had decided to eventually purify Houming, so he had to make plans early and practice with other strange Dao Ancestors.

He pondered deeply for a long time before finally returning to the underworld to summon Shi Yi and the Emperor.

As expected, Di Tian arrived upon hearing the news, following behind Shi Yi and the Emperor, laughing loudly as he entered Jiang Yun's dojo.

"Haha, Daoyuan, why didn't you call me first?"

Laughter broke the eerie silence of the eighteen-layered abyss, filled with friendliness.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly to Di Tian, ​​a smile also appearing on his face, and took the initiative to explain that he was worried that Di Tian was in seclusion and cultivating diligently, which was why he hadn't called him.

Di Tian's smile deepened, and with a slight wave of his hand, he summoned a throne that exuded a gentle aura. He sat cross-legged on it, opposite Jiang Yun.

Shi Yi and the Emperor stood on either side, saying nothing.

Their cultivation level and strength were insufficient, and they were also curious about why Jiang Yun had summoned them, so they didn't interrupt at all.

Jiang Yun glanced at the two men and nodded inwardly. Liu Shen had indeed made the right choice in sending them to help him. Not only were they incredibly talented and had amazing potential, but they were also extremely reliable.

He smiled slightly, looked at Di Tian again, and casually said:

"I have just returned from the place where the Desolate Emperor left behind the sword light. I felt something in my heart, so I summoned the Emperor and Shi Yi here."

Instantly, Di Tian was also drawn to this statement and hurriedly asked, "The Desolate Emperor is a major concern for all the strange races. Any news related to him will attract attention, especially that sword light, which is a source of pain for the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld."

Back then, Xuan Niao Daozu and others crossed the sword light and disappeared without a trace, which can be described as a great loss to the Underworld.

"What happened to that sword light?" Di Tian's expression changed drastically, his tone filled with tension. The throne beneath him was also affected, letting out a mournful cry.

Faced with Di Tian's questioning, Jiang Yun was not surprised and slowly recounted what he had discovered.

Di Tian didn't care at all when he heard that Jiang Yun had used the Reincarnation Slave to scout the way.

The Underworld has a large number of reincarnation slaves under its command, and there are too many Immortal King-level powerhouses to count, so they are not worth cherishing at all.

He only focused on the changes in the sword light.

When Di Tian heard Jiang Yun calculate that the sword light was weakening, he couldn't suppress his excitement. Although this didn't mean that the Desolate Emperor was also weakening, it still excited him, proving that the Desolate Emperor was not invincible.

However, when he heard Jiang Yun continue speaking, the sword light was still extremely dangerous and powerful, and could last for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

He paused for a moment, then shook his head with a hint of disappointment.

"The Desolate Emperor..." A sigh escaped, seemingly marveling at the Desolate Emperor's power.

Jiang Yun took in his expression and nodded silently, seemingly agreeing with Di Tian. He pondered to himself that Di Tian Dao Ancestor's strength in the Underworld was almost second only to Mingyu Dao Ancestor. Perhaps Hou Ming was stronger than Di Tian, ​​but the two had never fought, so it was difficult to determine who was better.

In any case, Di Tian Dao Zu is not someone Jiang Yun can purify at the moment.

Before his sixth transformation, Jiang Yun's strength was insufficient.

Therefore, Jiang Yun did not intend to risk attempting purification. He had only had a casual conversation with Dao Ancestor Di Tian, ​​intending to use him as a breakthrough point to win over other Dao Ancestors one by one.

Find the weakest one and then try to purify it.

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor was focused on his arduous cultivation, attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and never managed the Netherworld. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao Ancestor was determined to befriend Jiang Yun.

If Jiang Yun could purify another Dao Ancestor, along with Shi Yi and the Emperor, he could subtly control the Underworld and make it one of the four primordial lands a spy for the Great Dao cultivators in the great war that will eventually break out in the future.

This will cause the strange race to suffer a great loss.

"Unfortunately, the Xuan Bird's strength is definitely not as good as mine now. If I could return to the Boundary Sea, I could purify her directly."

Jiang Yun shook his head inwardly, putting the thought aside, and smiled as he invited Di Tian to stay at the dojo.

I can't leave right now.

Coincidentally, Di Tian also wanted to get closer to Jiang Yun, and the two hit it off immediately. They sat down and discussed the Dao, and the laws of the Great Dao appeared and disappeared around them during their conversation. Their voices were like heavenly music, which captivated everyone.

Shi Yi and the Emperor were just standing aside, not taking it too seriously, both wondering about Jiang Yun's intentions.

However, as Jiang Yun and Di Tian began to discuss the Dao, both of them showed surprised expressions, and then they actually began to cultivate as well.

These two are so talented that they have gained something from just a few words.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun immediately stopped talking and instead smiled and flattered Di Tian, ​​saying that he had indeed gained a lot from talking with the fellow Daoist today.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if thinking about something, before finally raising his head again and asking Ditian to invite some other Dao Ancestors for him.

Di Tian was somewhat surprised. For tens of thousands of years after Jiang Yun joined the Underworld, he could not be said to have lived a secluded life, but he rarely contacted other Dao Ancestors, only having contact with Hou Ming.

What has changed today?
Di Tian pondered to himself, guessing that Jiang Yun might have felt the pressure from Kong Zun Daozu and wanted to gain the support of other Daozu from the underworld. Perhaps Jiang Yun also wanted to gain something from the Dao discussion.

But in any case, this is a good thing.

Di Tian's voice was gentle: "Of course."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing it; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

After Jiang Yun forcefully suppressed Gui Du that day, many Dao Ancestors in the Underworld developed a good impression of him, believing that the powerful Jiang Yun could protect the interests of the Underworld.

As it turned out, Jiang Yun's Eight Paths of Reincarnation made the Underworld famous, and many Dao Ancestors, though they didn't say it, were secretly proud of it.

Thousands of years ago, Jiang Yun fought against Kong Zun and actually withstood Kong Zun's full-force attack. This made many Dao Ancestors look at him with new respect and feel that Jiang Yun would grow stronger sooner or later.

If the Netherworld Dao Ancestor truly takes the final step and attempts to reach the Immortal Emperor realm, Jiang Yun might still grow into an unparalleled being in the Underworld.

Many Daoist masters have already made up their minds to befriend Jiang Yun in advance.

Di Tian rubbed his hands together, not seeing Jiang Yun as a threat, but rather as an ally. In his view, Jiang Yun was the second Ming Yu, and perhaps had some other intentions now.

But when Jiang Yun cultivates to a high level, he will definitely go into seclusion and cultivate asceticism, and then the Underworld will be under the control of Di Tian. Thinking of this, he immediately took action and invited many Dao Ancestors over.

During this time, Mingyu seemed to have noticed something and discovered that Jiang Yun was deliberately trying to win over the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld, but in the end he did not appear. He was just observing silently, or even going with the flow.

Deep within the underworld, amidst the wailing of the eighteen abysses, bursts of laughter unexpectedly arose.

Jiang Yun traversed the Nine Netherworlds and Yellow Springs, engaging in intimate discussions with each Dao Ancestor. While appearing to be chatting and laughing, he was secretly using the Dao of Reincarnation to probe their true nature.

Those old guys who came from ancient times, having undergone countless sacrificial rituals, are each like an unfathomable abyss, surrounded by an aura powerful enough to change the world, and sometimes they hide in their palms trump cards that even Immortal Emperors would be wary of.

If Jiang Yun disregarded the trump card of the Reincarnation Flame, he knew that even with the Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Scripture, he would have little chance of winning against these old monsters.

Once they clash, they will inevitably engage in a protracted and fierce battle, and the long river of time will likely be shattered by their magic.

Attempting to purify them is extremely dangerous. A slight misstep could not only ruin all previous efforts but also expose one's deeply hidden true identity, leading to one's death.

However, this seemingly ordinary exchange was not without its gains.

Among countless Dao shadows, Jiang Yun finally locked onto an excellent target—the Burning Bone Dao Ancestor.

Memories flooded back. When he first entered the Underworld, Heaven issued a summons, and the Dao Ancestors of the four primordial lands came out in full force, marching towards the Land of Abandoned Heaven.

That great battle was a blood-red inferno. Thirty-nine Dao Ancestors joined forces, and the booming war drums resounded throughout the universe, causing the Heavenly Dao Ancestors to retreat in defeat. Thousands of years of war dyed the entire Forsaken Land crimson.

But in the eyes of the Celestial Emperor, all of this was nothing more than children playing house.

Later, the Desolate Emperor unleashed a sword light that pierced the sky, like a giant axe that split the heavens and earth, instantly shattering the Dao Ancestors of the four primordial lands into pieces.

Countless Dao Ancestors perished on the spot, and those who managed to escape were also seriously injured and their vital energy was greatly depleted.

As time flowed by, some Dao Ancestors gradually recovered their strength thanks to their profound foundations, but the Burning Bone Dao Ancestor was not so lucky.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and his injuries have not only failed to improve, but have become more and more serious. His Dao foundation is like a giant tree that has been eaten by insects, teetering on the verge of collapse.

The once-powerful expert has greatly diminished his strength. Compared to his prime, he is practically unrecognizable, and even his cultivation level is on the verge of decline.

Several Dao Ancestors intervened to stabilize his injuries, and he could only wait for the Grand Sacrifice to take place.

After seeing off the Dao Ancestors, Jiang Yun returned to his own Daoist temple.

In the Daoist temple, the flames of reincarnation flowed like a blood-red galaxy. He sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his divine sense spread out like spider silk.

Purifying a Dao Ancestor is undoubtedly like dancing on the edge of a knife, but it's a step that must be taken.

He mentally rehearsed the scenario repeatedly, anticipating all possible situations. Even the slightest hint of risk would be enough to make him abandon the plan.

Ultimately, after careful consideration, he decided to hold off on taking any action for the time being and postpone the operation.

After all, in this turbulent underworld, a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

However, Jiang Yun's interactions with the Burning Bone Dao Ancestor increased, and the news even spread to the Underworld, arousing the curiosity of some other Dao Ancestors.

Why did Daoyuan and Ran Gu come together?

"Perhaps it is because of the special origin of Dao Yuan that he was worried that he would also face a sudden sword strike from the Desolate Heaven Emperor in the future, so he sought advice from Dao Ancestor Burning Bones."

The Dao Ancestors speculated, and all agreed that this conjecture was quite reasonable. (End of Chapter)
