Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

Within Jiang Yun's body, nine sets of stone artifact projections, composed of over eight million bloodline runes, danced incessantly, exhibiting profound fluctuations that seemed to possess life and emanated the aura of the Great Dao.

These auras gradually coalesced, transforming into the mysterious runes he gleaned from the stone artifact itself.

Some runes quickly disappeared, but others endured, re-entering the stone projection and leaving their mark.

Jiang Yun repeatedly activated the magic technique, causing the projection to tremble continuously and conjure new runes.

He stared intently at the rune imprints with his divine sense, his thoughts churning. He finally understood that these projections were merely manifestations of bloodline runes, vastly different from real stone artifacts. It was only because he had once comprehended the runes inside stone artifacts that these projections possessed a certain divine charm.

Eight million bloodlines may seem like a lot, but in the face of real stone tools, they are nothing and cannot be compared at all.

As for the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Lotus and the mysterious stone millstone, they are even more unimaginable.

However, these nine stone artifact projections are also terrifying. If they can be used as a means of attack, they will become a powerful offensive method for Jiang Yunxin.

At this moment, he forgot about the transformation of his bloodline, as if guided by something, and devoted all his attention to these nine projections.

An ancient and mysterious aura resonated within his body. The stone artifact projection, dragged by a mysterious force, began to advance into the depths of the underworld, yet the projection remained motionless.

Jiang Yun changed his approach. He carefully manipulated the bloodline runes, causing them to continuously disintegrate and then recombine into the stone artifact projection. Each process of disintegrating and recombination rapidly depleted his spiritual power.

As the number of times increased, Jiang Yun's face grew paler and paler, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This path is feasible. Each time the projection reappears, its position changes slightly, as if it is moving.

The tremors echoed continuously within his body, and the projection seemed to materialize, moving in a certain direction.

Jiang Yun almost transformed into a child, pushing a massive stone tool that was far larger than himself.

There were no predecessors before him, nor successors after him; only Jiang Yun's solitary figure and the nine stone artifact projections continued to advance.

The treasures collected over two hundred thousand years continuously transform into streams of purest energy, becoming fuel for Jiang Yun's deduction methods, allowing the stone artifact projection to continue moving forward.

Finally, another two thousand years passed, and a low sound suddenly came from beside Jiang Yun.

"Buzz!"

The projections of nine sets of stone tools actually appeared in front of him, but they were different from the projections in the underworld, radiating a blood-red color and boundless vitality.

Upon closer inspection, one can also discover that each projection reflects the shadows of many powerful cultivators. These shadows rise and fall within the stone artifact projections, just as the stone artifact itself extracts and refines the corpses of living beings.

Each shadow corresponds to a real cultivator and is the source of the bloodline runes. Some of the shadows are quite familiar, as they are all acquaintances of Jiang Yun from the past.

However, these projections are ultimately no match for the real stone artifacts. They cannot exist on their own, and countless invisible streams of blood and qi shoot out from Jiang Yun's body to maintain the stability of the projections.

The projection took root in the earth, absorbing the vital energy from Jiang Yun's body to strengthen itself. In the end, it became even larger than Liu Shen's original body, blotting out the sky and the sun.

It brings immense pressure, making it unbearable to look at.

Many mysterious symbols, as if guarding the stone projection, suddenly appeared on him and then rushed toward the stone projection.

The surrounding space was trembling, and the entire training ground began to shake and collapse. If Jiang Yun had not set up many formations before going into seclusion, Hou Ming would definitely have been alarmed.

Even Dao Ancestors from other abysses would come upon hearing the news.

These nine projections are definitely not simple! Such a thought flashed through Jiang Yun's mind. He stared intently at the projections, trying to control them and turn them into supreme magic weapons.

But all these attempts failed. No matter how he tried, the nine projections remained motionless, as if they had nothing to do with him, and simply kept absorbing the blood energy in his body.

Jiang Yun frowned. Could it be that all the time and treasures he had wasted in deducing the method had ultimately yielded nothing?

He was unwilling to accept it and felt a great deal of frustration.

But soon, a burning flame flashed in his eyes, and he finally realized that it was not a futile effort; the greatest reward was right in front of him.

It turned out that during the process of deducing the summoning of the nine stone artifact projections, the speed at which the bloodline runes increased was greatly accelerated.

"No, it should be that these runes actually existed all along, but were concealed and could not be used."

Only by deducing these nine stone artifact projections can the Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Scripture be perfected. The hidden bloodline automatically emerges; this is a bottleneck, and only by breaking through it can the sixth transformation take place.

Jiang Yun muttered to himself, his voice revealing the joy of sudden enlightenment.

These nine stone artifact projections definitely hide other secrets, but his strength and realm are insufficient to use them yet, but his current gains are already enough.

He retracted the crimson projection into his body, and in an instant, the dojo returned to calm. The enormous projection vanished as if it had never existed.

Jiang Yun remained calm as he began to examine the bloodline runes within his body. Although the stone artifact projection had disappeared, all the bloodline runes remained divided into nine separate runes, none of which merged together.

He glanced at it and knew that he only needed nine more bloodlines to reach the nine million needed for his sixth transformation.

However, the very fact that he lacked nine bloodlines made Jiang Yun hesitate.

It's too much of a coincidence. After he deduced the method to condense nine blood-colored projections, the speed of collecting bloodlines had returned to normal, and new bloodlines could be transmitted through the Reincarnation Token at any time.

The number of bloodlines could change a moment earlier or later; it's impossible for it to be such a coincidence.

In fact, during Jiang Yun's previous transformations, the number of bloodlines was never exactly right; it almost always exceeded what was required for the transformation.

Jiang Yun believes this is a warning; if they try to break through immediately, they may fail, and they must be prepared.

In all his previous transformations, nothing like this had ever happened, but he dared not be careless.

After he deduced the nine stone artifact projections, the Nine Revolutions Returning to the Source Sutra underwent a mysterious change, becoming different from the past.

He suddenly summoned a Reincarnation Decree and ordered the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to send him treasures.

This was something that had never happened before. In the past two hundred thousand years, although Jiang Yun had also used the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to collect precious medicines, he had never taken the initiative to order them. They had always brought them to him voluntarily. This was the first time.

Many reincarnation slaves were excited, seeing it as a great opportunity to serve the Dao Source Ancestor, and offered up countless treasures accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

Many reincarnation slaves began to actively collect treasures and continuously send them to the depths of the underworld.

This surprised and raised doubts among many people.

"What exactly happened to Daoyuan?"

Many powerful figures instantly recalled the great changes that occurred thousands of years ago with the Reincarnation Decree, and stopped bestowing cultivation techniques upon geniuses.

At that time, some people suspected that Jiang Yun had an accident and might have been seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

And now, this newly emerged news seems to confirm this conjecture.

At the Styx River, many Dao Ancestors cheered and jumped for joy. A terrifying howl resounded through the sky, causing this primordial land to tremble slightly.

The Dao Ancestors of the Styx River had long regarded Jiang Yun as an enemy, and they were happy to see him suffer a great loss. "The eighteen abysses of the Underworld all possess mysterious and unpredictable Samsara Eyes, producing the essence of reincarnation, which, along with the endless soul light of my Soul River, are considered supreme treasures."

Dao Yuan was severely injured and would certainly not hesitate to use the essence of reincarnation, but he still couldn't recover. He could only collect precious medicines through the Eight Paths of Reincarnation. It seems he is truly doomed!

One of the Taoist masters laughed heartily, his joyful smile undisguised, yet his laughter was punctuated by a soft cough.

It turned out that he was the Dao Ancestor of Transformation, and he had not yet fully recovered from his serious injuries, but he still came out of his seclusion after hearing the news.

The other Styx Dao Ancestors nodded in agreement, acknowledging this deduction.

Jiang Yun's actions were too suspicious; there was some truth to what the Dao Ancestor of Transformation said.

Kong Zun sat deep in the River Styx, frowning as he recalled the scene when he fought Jiang Yun, feeling that something was amiss.

In his view, Jiang Yun might be seriously injured, but he would definitely not be in dire straits.

“Back then, the Netherworld Ancestor almost turned against me for Jiang Yun’s sake, and the Netherworld Prison would not stand idly by and watch Jiang Yun perish.”

These two are supreme beings who have existed for countless years, almost simultaneously with the Underworld. They must have accumulated a great deal of the essence of reincarnation, which might be able to save Jiang Yun even if his Dao foundation is damaged.

Confucius pondered for a moment, then shook his head and decided to observe from the sidelines.

He had made an agreement with Jiang Yun to settle their grudges before the end of the sacrificial ceremony. Regardless of whether Jiang Yun was truly seriously injured, it was still not a good thing.

"Could it be that he's about to break through, which is why he ordered those in the cycle of reincarnation to offer up precious medicines?"

Kong Zun sneered and shook his head, letting the ridiculous thought disappear completely and no longer paying attention to it.

In his view, it was simply unimaginable that Jiang Yun could advance further in just 200,000 years.

Heavens above, even the ancient Dao Ancestor Gu Tuo heard this news.

The forces of the heavens have always been irreconcilable with the dark beings. Even in the cycle of reincarnation near the heavens, there are very few reincarnation slaves. Once they appear, they will be eliminated by the powerful beings of the heavens.

However, Heaven still has ways of knowing about the eight realms of reincarnation.

"Could something have happened to that Dao Source? That's great!" Gu Tuo was pleasantly surprised. He had long regarded Jiang Yun as a major threat to the heavens, but he never expected that such an opponent would actually run into trouble.

Deep within the underworld, many Dao Ancestors were also alarmed. They all emerged from their own abysses, countless divine thoughts flashing in the air as they exchanged their ideas.

Jiang Yun's past efforts to win them over have been quite effective; apart from the Yellow Springs Underworld Mother and the Blood River Dao Ancestor, all the other Dao Ancestors have appeared.

However, although the Yellow Spring Mother did not appear, the abyss where she was located was still slightly open, as if listening to the conversation of the other Dao Ancestors and showing concern.

However, the abyss of the Blood River Dao Ancestor remained completely still.

Di Tian frowned and hesitated before saying:
"What exactly happened to Daoyuan?"

He knew very well that Jiang Yun had not been seriously injured when he fought Kong Zun that day. Could it be that something unexpected happened later?

He pondered, suspecting that Jiang Yun had encountered the Celestial Ancestor while collecting altar fragments in the Underworld, leading to a great battle. But if that were the case, why hadn't he received any news about it?
Di Tian kept shaking his head, unable to understand the reason.

The other Dao Ancestors of the Underworld were the same, their faces full of surprise and doubt.

At this moment, Hou Ming's figure also appeared deep in the underworld, and he also left the abyss.

Upon seeing her, all the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld were astonished.

Hou Ming and Jiang Yun share a deep abyss, and their relationship seems to be very close, an exception to countless past sacrificial beings, not even the Xuan Niao Dao Ancestor, who could not be so close to Hou Ming.

Hou Ming could have directly entered Jiang Yun's dojo!

Seeing the surprise of the Dao Ancestors, Hou Ming's cold face also showed a trace of worry, and her eyes were filled with ripples, indicating her complex emotions.

Her face was like an unyielding block of ice, only briefly thawing when Jiang Yun faced a crisis or unexpected event.

Hou Ming recalled her last meeting with Jiang Yun and had a guess in her mind. She hesitated, unsure whether to speak out.

But in the end, she decided to speak up, after all, Jiang Yun seemed to be facing a major crisis.

"Brother Yun may be trying to break through, but he's too eager for quick success!"

Hou Ming was filled with worry for Jiang Yun, and for a moment he actually revealed their private nickname for each other.

Many underworld patriarchs were instantly stunned, almost thinking they had misheard, and fell into a long silence.

Some Dao Ancestors were filled with doubts about Jiang Yun, wondering why he could win Hou Ming's favor.

However, several powerful Dao Ancestors speculated that it might be related to the Reincarnation Dao Flame.

But no one pursued those questions further; instead, they inquired about Jiang Yun's situation.

"A breakthrough?" Dao Ancestor Ditian broke the silence, asking in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Like Kong Zun, Di Tian also did not believe that Jiang Yun could accumulate enough foundation to break through in 200,000 years.

Recalling his cultivation experience, he sighed with emotion. Let alone 200,000 years, even spending 2 million years to advance further at the Dao Ancestor level would be considered an extraordinary achievement.

There can only be one Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Di Tian shook his head, but he also believed that he had discovered the truth: Jiang Yun was too eager to break through, which resulted in damage to his Dao foundation.

"Ah!" He let out a long sigh, and a mysterious substance appeared in his palm, like spring water, but completely opaque.

With the appearance of this mysterious substance, the entire depths of the underworld were affected. The Great Dao resonated, and light appeared and disappeared, even threatening to pierce through the eternal darkness deep within the underworld.

"The essence of reincarnation?" A Dao Ancestor exclaimed. This was the Yellow Spring Mother, who was secretly observing from the abyss. In order to modify the environment of the abyss, the essence of reincarnation that flowed out of the Eye of Reincarnation would be immediately consumed by her.

I've never accumulated this much before.

A greedy look appeared in Huangquan Mingmu's eyes, wishing she could immediately obtain these primordial substances. She sneered inwardly, feeling that giving these precious substances to Jiang Yun was a complete waste.

However, the other Dao Ancestors of the Underworld all nodded and each took out some of the essence of reincarnation to give to Jiang Yun.

This was the result of Jiang Yun's years of deliberate efforts to win people over, and it finally came into play at a crucial moment.

Shi Yi and the Emperor were both somewhat embarrassed. They had just joined the Underworld and had not yet accumulated much primordial matter, so they were empty-handed at the moment.

The Dao Ancestors of the Underworld entered the Abyss and arrived outside Jiang Yun's Daoist temple.

"Daoyuan, are you alright?" (End of Chapter)
