The Daoist masters looked at the Daoist temple again, but their feelings were completely different from before.

Shock, confusion, curiosity.

"How did Daoyuan manage to do that? He was clearly in dire straits!"

"This change is too abrupt. Perhaps it's related to some mysterious cultivation method? It's unbelievable!"

Many Taoist masters pondered deeply, trying to find the origin of this method.

Some of these Dao Ancestors were also very ancient, having undergone countless sacrificial rites, seen countless geniuses, and witnessed almost countless profound cultivation methods.

However, no Daoist patriarch could find a similar cultivation method.

It's not that it doesn't exist, but rather that it's impossible to achieve at the level of the Dao Ancestor.

For cultivators of lower cultivation levels, switching between deathly stillness and vibrant life is not difficult, but it is different for Dao Ancestors.

Small rivers and streams, drying up after a few days of scorching sun and overflowing after a downpour, are commonplace and nothing to be surprised about.

But the Dao Ancestor is a boundless torrent; how could such a tremendous change occur in such a short time? Even if Jiang Yun had just obtained a lot of the essence of reincarnation, it would still be impossible.

The Dao Ancestors of the Underworld have all consumed the primordial substance and know that it is extremely miraculous, but the effects are not so immediate.

It conceals a great secret, and almost all the Dao Ancestors cast their inquiring gazes upon it.

There are only two exceptions: the Yellow Springs Mother is still trying to escape her predicament.

The other one was Hou Ming, whose eyes were full of surprise, and the ice on her face melted into warm ripples.

Deep within the training grounds, Jiang Yun remained oblivious to all of this, still immersed in his cultivation.

His vitality had just been restored, which even shocked many Dao Ancestors, but the transformation was still not complete.

Or perhaps this outward display of vitality is a sign that the transformation is not yet complete.

After Jiang Yun's primordial spirit was covered by the blood mist, his body withered and his divine sense was severed. Suddenly, a huge phantom of a stone millstone appeared beneath him and swallowed him up. The projections of the nine sets of stone artifacts in his body also appeared.

Just like the scenes Jiang Yun had seen before, his body passed through the phantom and was then swallowed up by the phantom of the millstone.

Although Jiang Yun wasn't directly crushed, his life force was stripped away. He didn't really die, but the pain of being repeatedly crushed was truly imprinted on his heart.

Despite his unwavering resolve, Jiang Yun was still affected, as if he had truly perished and been absorbed by the nine sets of stone tools and the stone millstone.

In his confusion, the life force within him was extracted by the projection of the stone artifact, passed through the illusory image of the stone millstone, and finally returned to his body, reviving Jiang Yun from his pain, but also causing him to lose his way.

Countless lives flashed before his eyes, as if he had personally experienced them, yet also as if he were merely an observer.

Jiang Yun had seen some of these scenes before, which gave him a sense of familiarity.

He searched through countless memories and finally discovered the source of these scenes.

"These are... the people who provided my bloodline!"

Jiang Yun gradually regained consciousness and realized what had happened. He was undergoing a transformation, unlike in the past. The sixth transformation was very mysterious, which elevated his level of life.

He had a premonition that even if he could complete this transformation, he still wouldn't be able to become an Immortal Emperor, but he would have almost no rivals below the Immortal Emperor level.

Perhaps a few supreme beings like those in the Underworld are exceptions.

Jiang Yun's mind raced, and he stopped resisting the pull of the nine sets of stone tools and the projection of the stone millstone. He even deliberately relaxed his body, letting the life force flow out of his body.

The primordial world was also affected by the mystery, with wisps of mysterious power being continuously extracted and flowing into the torrent of life force.

Once, twice, a thousand times, ten thousand times.

A torrent of life force swirled continuously in the projection room at an incredible speed, so fast that even Jiang Yun could barely see it.

At the same time, countless insights from those bloodline providers flowed through his mind.

These people are not as accomplished as Jiang Yun, and many of their insights are useless to him, or even wrong. They are completely contrary to the Great Dao and will only lead to their own demise.

But through this process of understanding, Jiang Yun's knowledge of each bloodline deepened.

Moreover, this virtual cycle also gradually imbued Jiang Yun's primordial spirit with an ancient aura.

The scent was very familiar, very similar to that of a millstone, but with subtle differences.

Before he knew it, mysterious Dao runes appeared on his primordial spirit, without Jiang Yun even noticing.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but these cycles have repeated nine million times. The life force, for the last time, did not rush towards the projection, but returned to Jiang Yun's body.

Instantly, a powerful life force emanated from his body, causing Hou Ming, who was outside the dojo, to immediately stop.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged in mid-air, his appearance solemn and dignified, radiating vitality, as if a precious medicine had cultivated into human form.

These life forms, which could be easily condensed, are treasures that even immortal kings would covet, but they are nothing to Jiang Yun.

Recalling what had just happened, a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"The transformation is not yet complete; what happened just began!"

He had clearly sensed that the simulated reincarnation he had experienced was merely a fusion of those nine million bloodlines with himself.

Although it was painful, there was actually no danger. He deduced that the nine sets of stone projections became the greatest guarantee.

If it weren't for the nine sets of stone tool projections, being directly sucked into the mysterious phantom of the stone millstone would have been truly terrifying.

Jiang Yun lowered his head in thought, knowing that the real test was yet to come.

Each transformation requires him to expend countless resources, and his past resources have already dried up.

The vitality in his body was unimaginably strong, but his original world was devastated, as if it had just experienced a world-ending war.

The surviving creatures hid in shelters, gazing at the outside world in terror.

He opened his eyes again, his gaze sweeping over the treasures sent by the report of reincarnation, and hesitated.

These treasures are numerous and contain many precious medicinal herbs, which even powerful Dao Ancestors would take seriously.

Only the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, this colossal entity built upon countless years of accumulated reincarnation slaves, could be assembled in such a short time.

However, it still seems a bit too risky for Jiang Yun. If the energy provided by these treasures is exhausted halfway through the transformation, all his efforts will be in vain.

A hint of uncertainty appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. In addition to these treasures, he also had the primordial substances sent by the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld.

Jiang Yun made up his mind and no longer hesitated, activating nine million bloodlines.

A dazzling light shot out from his primordial spirit, projecting onto the nine sets of stone artifacts. The blood-red projection collapsed, transforming back into bloodline runes that sank into Jiang Yun's body.

hum!
A tremendous sound emanated from his body, and Dao power surged forth, creating a perfect picture.

At the same time, a mysterious river appeared and disappeared, shimmering with a peculiar luster, each ripple exuding an ancient aura. This was the River of Time.

Even at this crucial juncture of transformation, Jiang Yun still noticed this river of time.

During his last transformation, this long river was already faintly visible, but it never truly appeared, which disappointed him greatly.

"Could it be..."

Jiang Yun's eyes revealed intense anticipation. If he could make the River of Time appear, he would break through to the next realm.

Or rather, the emergence of the river of time was the key to his transformation.

Jiang Yun silently recited the name of the River of Time, pondering the meaning contained within it.

The name itself contains mysterious power, and can even bring back the powerful who have passed away. So what about the river of time itself?
Why did the ancient monks use the term "long river" to describe it? Was it merely because of its resemblance to a river?
Absolutely not. This relates to the very nature of time: the mighty river flows eastward, never to return, just like time itself.

Countless thoughts kept changing in Jiang Yun's mind. He vaguely grasped something, but it seemed that he was wrong about everything.

As he pondered, the river of time gradually drew near, but eventually drifted further and further away, seemingly about to disappear!

Jiang Yun felt a great sense of loss as he watched the river of time flow by, but at that moment, he suddenly understood something.

The river of time is too mysterious. Powerful beings can transcend time and be revived after countless millennia, which shows that time is by no means unidirectional.

Perhaps there is some way to reverse its flow, but Jiang Yun's level of understanding is far from that level, and he cannot do that.

But he already understood that, from another perspective, the disappearance of the river of time was merely another form of emergence.

Death is rebirth, disappearance is appearance, departure is approach.

He recalled the simulated reincarnation he had just experienced, and suddenly began to mutter incantations, uttering mysterious murmurs.

In an instant, the Great Dao appeared beside him, and the River of Time, which had already receded and disappeared, reversed course and came back to him.

The shimmering water reflected on Jiang Yun's face, revealing his calm expression.

He was enveloped by a vast and mysterious power, the mighty force of time, which washed away the finest impurities from his body.

Time, like a tide, covered Jiang Yun's body, causing him to appear and disappear. Each time he reappeared outside the river of time, the number of his bloodlines decreased.

This is not disappearance, but a complete fusion with his body, becoming one with him.

Jiang Yun's body gradually emitted a glass-like luster, but upon closer inspection, it appeared quite ordinary.

Divine objects conceal themselves, not visible to the naked eye. Only powerful Dao Ancestors can discern their secrets. This is a realm that countless strong individuals dream of, where the physical body is comparable to a powerful magical artifact.

His realm was also constantly rising; every time his body reappeared from the river of time, his realm improved.

This is something other Dao Ancestors cannot imagine. Once you reach this level of cultivation, it is extremely difficult to make further progress. It takes countless millennia to advance even one step, and you are very likely to encounter a bottleneck and be unable to move forward any further.

Jiang Yun's leap at this moment was nothing short of astonishing.

Unfortunately, no Dao Ancestor witnessed this scene.

The array outside the temple still concealed everything. The Dao Ancestors of the Underworld were only wondering why Jiang Yun's aura appeared and disappeared at different times.
Did he encounter some kind of accident again?
However, no one was worried about Jiang Yun anymore, because although his breathing was intermittent, it remained stable and even showed a tendency to strengthen.

Jiang Yun's speed of becoming stronger is nothing short of miraculous, but the energy expenditure is equally astonishing.

He had consumed all the treasures sent by countless powerful figures in the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, which turned into dust floating in the air.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes, showing no pity for the dust; it was a necessary sacrifice for the breakthrough.

He wasn't worried, because he still had a trump card up his sleeve.

hum!
A large mass of primordial matter of reincarnation appeared in front of him. In an instant, the Great Dao roared and gathered around the primordial matter, but it quickly fell silent again, drowned out by the sound from within Jiang Yun's body.

However, the light emitted by this primordial substance completely illuminated the entire dojo, and the dust formed from the treasures was blown away and completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at all.

Before the primordial matter, even if these treasures remain intact, they are nothing more than the glow of decaying grass; how can they compare to the radiant sun?
Moreover, they have already turned to dust and lost their original essence.

Just sitting cross-legged next to this mass of primordial matter, Jiang Yun felt completely comfortable.

These primordial substances are products of the world's destruction. Only after millions of years of condensation and sublimation can a tiny drop be born, possessing incredible and unique power.

At this moment, looking at this large mass of primordial matter, Jiang Yun seemed to see the destruction of countless worlds, and time seemed to appear before his very eyes.

This is not an illusion; the river of time in the primordial world is indeed much clearer.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and absorbed the primordial substance into his body. Streams of the most primitive laws of the Great Dao rose up and merged into the river of time, transforming into unique energy to help him continue his transformation.

All sounds and changes within the body disappeared, only the primordial spirit gradually grew stronger.

His aura gradually became ancient and profound.

As time passed, the river of time gradually calmed down, and the tides ceased to surge.

In an extremely secluded place, the Hundred Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus seemed to sense this aura, and every lotus leaf swayed without any wind.

Brilliant runes appeared on the lotus leaves.

Jiang Yun originally intended to use this Hundred Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus as a backup plan. If something unexpected happened and the transformation failed, he would immediately consume it.

The Lotus of a Hundred Tribulations has unlimited potential. If allowed to grow freely, it will be more than enough to help him in his transformation to a higher level.

However, Jiang Yun would not allow the breakthrough to fail for the sake of potential future benefits.

Fortunately, the Dao Ancestors sent him the Origin of Reincarnation, so he didn't need to use the Hundred Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus, but he didn't put it away either.

This lotus of reincarnation thus benefited, absorbing some of the energy of the primordial substance.

As Jiang Yun broke through, this Reincarnation Lotus actually grew many new leaves, but it ultimately failed to evolve into the Thousand Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus, falling short by one step.

But this is still a significant gain. Without today's unexpected event, this Reincarnation Lotus might have taken millions of years to evolve to this point, and it would not have been able to become an aid to Jiang Yun's future progress.

However, he had no time to worry about these things at the moment.

Under the influence of the primordial matter, the river of time has ceased to flow and has gradually stabilized.

His original world was also nourished in some way, regained its vitality, and gained a kind of inexplicable charm.

Many beings suddenly found themselves breaking through a minor realm, but they didn't know what had happened.

Jiang Yun, however, was quite clear that he saw a long river of time stretching across the heavens and earth, as if it had existed since ancient times.

At the same time, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

The sixth transformation has been a success!
Jiang Yun exuded the aura of the Great Dao in every gesture he made. (End of Chapter)
