Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

A saying has been circulating in all the realms recently: the underworld may gradually unite.

After Jiang Yun won over the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld, he did not keep it a secret. The news gradually spread out of the Underworld and attracted the attention of many Dao Ancestors.

The supreme existence of the Four Extremes Floating Soil and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit was welcomed by all. The Dao Ancestors of the Styx River were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

The Dao Ancestors of all the heavens were somewhat worried, feeling that the changes in the underworld might bring about huge changes.

The Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Realm were even more anxious. They all regarded Jiang Yun as a major threat, and many Dao Ancestors were calling for the invincible Desolate Heavenly Emperor to take action and kill Jiang Yun before he even reached the Dao Ancestor realm.

After all, it was no secret that Jiang Yun occasionally left the underworld to search for altar fragments.

While ordinary Dao Ancestors might not be able to know Jiang Yun's exact whereabouts, the Desolate Heaven Emperor might be able to as well.

But no matter how hard they tried, the Desolate Emperor did not respond.

Above the heavens, in the desolate land formed after the fall of the mysterious Dao Ancestor, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor sat in meditation, a smile on his face, as if he had comprehended some new and profound method.

Faint Dao runes appeared around him, but they were all obscured by the forbidden land, and even the Dao Ancestors could not see them clearly.

"Perhaps the Desolate Emperor is in seclusion and doesn't have time to attack Jiang Yun!"

"Let Jiang Yun enjoy his freedom for a while longer! Perhaps before the Desolate Emperor unleashes his terrifying sword light, Kong Zun of the Soul River will make his move before the Great Sacrifice begins."

No, it's best if the grand festival never comes...

Some Dao Ancestors were hoping that a brutal civil war would break out between the four primordial lands, but this was all wishful thinking and almost impossible. Under the influence of the strange aura, the Dao Ancestors of the strange race could hardly get into a real fight to the death.

Deep within the underworld, above the eighteenth abyss, Jiang Yun had another friendly exchange with several Dao Ancestors. This time, he did not invite Dao Ancestor Burning Bones again.

Being too enthusiastic can easily arouse suspicion, and might even alert the Burning Bone Dao Ancestor. The most important thing is to strike the right balance.

Jiang Yun was not in a hurry. He was very patient and even felt that he could wait until he had gathered all the bloodlines and completed his sixth transformation in tens of thousands of years before trying to purify the Burning Bone Dao Ancestor.

He watched the Dao Ancestors leave, then turned to return. Suddenly, the voice of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor rang in his ears, calm yet full of majesty.

"Daoyuan, I have something to tell you."

As soon as the voice fell, the aura of the underworld emanated from a deep abyss, and Jiang Yun looked over in slight surprise.

Deep within the underworld lie eighteen abysses, each usually guarded by a Dao Ancestor. The abyss where Jiang Yun and Hou Ming reside is an exception, possessing two Dao Ancestors.

Each abyss holds hidden mysteries that aid the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld in his cultivation.

When Houming and Xuanniao first comprehended the magical flames, they drew inspiration from the mysterious Eye of Reincarnation.

Mingyu never fought Houming, but Jiang Yun had spoken with Houming.

Hou Ming's words were filled with apprehension towards the Underworld, demonstrating his terrifying power.

Faced with the invitation from the Underworld, Jiang Yun remained calm and nodded respectfully, saying, "Alright!"

He took a step and arrived at the abyss where the Underworld was located, and stepped into it.

From the very beginning of the underworld, this abyss has been occupied by the Netherworld Prison. Countless sacrifices have passed through it, and it has almost become the private property of the Netherworld Prison.

As soon as he entered the abyss, Jiang Yun felt an indescribable loneliness.

Whether it's Jiang Yun's own Daoist temple, Hou Ming's, or the abyss where other Daoist ancestors of the underworld reside, they will all bear their own traces.

For example, Jiang Yun's dojo originally belonged to the Black Bird, and its shape was a bird's nest.

Not long ago, Jiang Yun visited the Daoist temple of the Burning Bone Daoist Ancestor, which also reflects the Daoist Ancestor's own style.

However, the Netherworld's training grounds showed no signs of being special at all, appearing to be the most common cultivation place in the heavens. Jiang Yun even suspected that the Netherworld had casually taken it from some destroyed world countless times before the sacrificial rites.

The only symbol of the existence of the Underworld is the powerful aura belonging exclusively to this supreme being of the Underworld. The boundless aura of the netherworld is like a long river, constantly echoing in the arena, bringing indescribable pressure.

Even the slightest trace of the netherworld's aura is enough to cause the fall of a Celestial King.

Even just passing by the River of Qi, one can feel the terrifying power contained within it.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, gradually understanding why the Underworld was so extraordinary. Its strength was indeed astonishing, even surpassing that of Kong Zun of the Soul River.

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor never put much effort into managing this abyss, but the Netherworld aura he unintentionally emitted greatly expanded the scope of the Dao field, making it vast and boundless.

Jiang Yun did not want the Netherworld Dao Ancestor to think he was presumptuous, so he did not use his supernatural powers. Instead, he measured the Daoist temple with his own two feet, walking forward all the way. After a long time, he finally arrived not far in front of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor.

"I have met the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld."

Mingyu was extremely pleased with Jiang Yun's respect, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He thought highly of Jiang Yun and believed that he was a suitable successor who could take over the Underworld after he broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Underworld originally intended to cultivate Di Tian, ​​but unfortunately Di Tian was without desires and ambitions, making him an unsuitable candidate.

Fortunately, we now have Jiang Yun.

"Dao Yuan, you did well." Ming Yu's voice carried a hint of satisfaction, and the omnipresent pressure seemed to dissipate.

But soon, Mingyu's expression returned to its coldness, and he pressed Jiang Yun for an answer: "Why did you break the agreement and go out to search for the altar fragments?"

I know that when you first joined the Underworld, the Dao Ancestor invited you to search for the fragments together, but you refused!

Jiang Yun was secretly alarmed. What Mingyu had said had indeed happened. It was a Dao Ancestor known as the Yellow Spring Mother who invited him to team up.

However, Jiang Yun still had some reservations at the time, and preferred to refuse the Dao Ancestor who had offered her an olive branch rather than accept her offer.

At that time, Jiang Yun and the Yellow Spring Mother only communicated telepathically and did not talk face to face. Unexpectedly, the Underworld still found out about all of this.

Perhaps in the depths of the underworld, nothing can escape the eyes of the Netherworld Prison; only the arrays set up by the Dao Ancestors in the eighteen layers of abyss can conceal it to some extent.

"No wonder!"

Jiang Yun recalled something and felt a surge of emotion. When he crossed the sword light, the Desolate Emperor had used his clone to issue him the most serious warning, telling him never to easily use the secret technique to reverse his origin.

At that time, Jiang Yun thought that the Desolate Emperor was wary of the strange source of the Evil Earth Plateau. Now it seems that the supreme beings of the four origin lands are not so simple.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun remembered the words of the Desolate Emperor and has not given himself away so far.

Even when transforming Shi Yi into the Emperor, he was still acting, clearly deceiving the Underworld.

"Daoyuan, why don't you answer?" Mingyu suddenly asked, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, because Jiang Yun had not answered for a long time.

Even the slightest change in emotion, the terrifying power contained in the voice, made Jiang Yun feel immense pressure, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on his back and heart.

Jiang Yun dared not hesitate any longer, his expression filled with respect, his voice solemn: "Netherworld Ancestor, I actually don't know how to answer. When I refused the Yellow Spring Mother, it wasn't that I wasn't tempted by the altar fragments, it was just that I didn't trust her! But I later learned that the various Dao Ancestors of the Underworld are of one mind, and although there are occasional conflicts, my refusal was perhaps a little too cautious..."

Jiang Yun slowly explained and took the initiative to admit her mistake.

He knew that his actions were somewhat contradictory, and if he carefully explained the reasons, he might expose his flaws. It would be better to directly admit that he was suspicious of the other Dao Ancestors in the Underworld.

These thoughts were very wrong, but they were enough to convince the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld.

As expected, Mingyu's expression darkened, revealing an angry look. The Netherworld aura in the boundless arena suddenly surged, as if it would completely engulf Jiang Yun.

Like a giant beast ready to devour its prey, it stared intently at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, but stood tall and straight, refusing to admit her mistake further, her eyes revealing a sharp edge.

He didn't want to arouse the suspicion of the Underworld, but that didn't mean Jiang Yun would keep backing down. In front of a powerful figure like the Underworld, he had to show his bottom line.

With a loud "boom!", the flames of reincarnation rose up, transforming into a suit of armor that protected Jiang Yun and repelled all the Netherworld aura.

This abyss is closer to the source of the underworld, and the flames of reincarnation are even more powerful, colliding fiercely with the giant serpent that the Netherworld has transformed into.

This aura even emanated from the abyss, echoing deep within the underworld, surprising many Dao Ancestors.

"What's going on now? Could it be that the Heavenly Ancestor has chosen to seek his own death and stormed into my Underworld?"

Several Dao Ancestors appeared instantly in the sky above the Underworld, ready to fight, but they gained nothing.

The underworld was empty, with no trace of the Great Dao Ancestor.

The Dao Ancestors exchanged glances, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes. Without any external invasion, why would the aura of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor suddenly emanate from him? And why did he seem to be fighting someone?
This is something they can't understand.

Is there any Dao Ancestor who dares to challenge the Underworld?
Over the past countless sacrifices, the Underworld has long established itself as invincible. Even someone as powerful as Kong Zun could only retreat when facing the Underworld.

In the abyss where the Yellow Spring Mother resided, the female Dao Ancestor from the Sea Sacrifice suddenly sneered. She had been secretly watching Jiang Yun and knew that Jiang Yun had recently entered the abyss of the Underworld, and had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

"Hmph, it must be that Dao Yuan somehow angered the Underworld!"

Her voice was icy cold and full of schadenfreude, clearly showing that she was enjoying watching Jiang Yun's misfortune.

Jiang Yun's influence in the underworld continued to grow, much to the displeasure of the Yellow Springs Mother, but she was powerless to stop it.

She was skilled at scheming behind the scenes. Facing Jiang Yun, who had taken Kong Zun's full-force attack head-on, she dared not directly antagonize Jiang Yun, but instead harbored anger in her heart.

"Serves you right!" The Yellow Spring Mother twisted her aged face and cursed Jiang Yun, hoping that he would be directly suppressed by the Netherworld Ancestor.

However, this was destined to be her delusion. The Netherworld Dao Ancestor was indeed very angry at first. Since Jiang Yun had joined the Underworld, he should not have been hostile to the other Underworld Dao Ancestors.

However, he eventually calmed down, and the aura of the underworld returned to normal, transforming back into a rushing river that receded at an astonishing speed, as if it had never gone berserk at all.

The voice of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor resounded once more: "Your Reincarnation Dao Flame is indeed impressive. At the source of the Netherworld, it is virtually invincible below the Immortal Emperor level!"

This was Mingyu's reflection. He had experienced the power of the Reincarnation Flame many times, but this was the first time he had faced it head-on, and he finally understood the terror of this mysterious flame.

At the same time, he finally understood Kong Zun's choice. In order to let Jiang Yun leave the cycle of reincarnation, he was willing to give up using the altar fragments.

Mingyu pondered in the dark. This flame was too powerful. Kong Zun's choice was correct, but it was a pity that this kind of flame could only be used in the underworld and the cycle of reincarnation.

Otherwise, Jiang Yun would be the number one person below the Immortal Emperor.

Once the Celestial Emperor of the Strange Clan makes another move and distracts the Desolate Heaven Emperor, the four Origin Lands can immediately launch a powerful attack into the Heavens and annihilate all the Great Dao Ancestors.

It could even be used to send Jiang Yun to hunt down Liu Shen, causing this powerful figure who was about to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm to perish.

Suddenly, the Netherworld sighed softly, "What a pity."

Jiang Yun felt a chill run down his spine, as if some terrifying crisis had just brushed past him.

If his Reincarnation Flame can truly be used outside of the Underworld and the Cycle of Reincarnation, the Four Origin Lands will definitely make him their vanguard, putting him in a dilemma and potentially exposing his identity.

In the end, the Underworld did not pursue Jiang Yun's initial refusal any further. Instead, it instructed Jiang Yun to apologize to the Yellow Springs Mother and to never again harbor suspicion towards the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld.

Jiang Yun nodded. Since it was the request made by the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld, he would naturally comply.

He left the abyss of the underworld and went directly to the Yellow Springs Mother.

Deep within the underworld, the Dao Ancestors, still shaken by the terrifying aura from before, remained speculating. They were all astonished to see Jiang Yun suddenly appear, wondering what had happened.

“Daoyuan Daozu, what is this…” a Daozu tried to ask.

Jiang Yun waved his hand slightly, telling him to calm down, and then came to the abyss of the Yellow Springs Mother and shouted loudly.

"Please come out and meet us."

In an instant, the sound resounded throughout the abyss, echoing in the quiet space, and startling some other Dao Ancestors as well.

Di Tian's figure also appeared. He was not disturbed by the aura just now, believing that the underworld was as stable as Mount Tai.

However, Jiang Yun's shout piqued his curiosity.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yun, wanting to know what he would do next.

Jiang Yun ignored Di Tian's gaze and looked at the abyss where the Yellow Spring Mother of the Underworld was located. This abyss was dark and deep, with black mist constantly rolling, and an eerie and ominous aura spreading freely, like a nest of lonely ghosts.

Even deep in the underworld, it seemed out of place.

He speculated that the Yellow Springs Mother might have completely transformed the abyss where she hid, creating an environment similar to the sea sacrifice, to enhance her power.

While it cannot compare to the boundless true sea of ​​sacrifice, it is enough to make her invincible.

Jiang Yun pondered this over and felt that this was a good opportunity.

The Yellow Springs Mother has always remained hidden in the shadows, never accepting his attempts to win her over. He observes from the shadows and may discover some clues.

He could take advantage of the Netherworld's request to bring this reclusive Dao Ancestor into the open, allowing Shi Yi or the Emperor to keep an eye on the Yellow Springs Netherworld Mother.

The most dangerous enemies are those lurking in the shadows, always ready to find your weaknesses and flaws. But once an enemy is exposed to the light of day and lays everything out in the open, they are nothing.

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes, and he spoke again:
"Please don't hesitate, fellow Daoist. I've come to apologize to you!"

"I shouldn't have refused your invitation without a reason last time..." (End of Chapter)
