A peculiar silence filled the temple grounds.

Jiang Yun stood calmly in mid-air, his expression indifferent, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

However, the presence of a powerful figure on the ground suggests that things are not so simple.

The Evil Emperor stared blankly at Jiang Yun, his face filled with disbelief. How could this be?

He never expected that in just over two hundred thousand years, Jiang Yun would take another step forward and break through to the third realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. This was a leap that was almost unheard of.

Only a very few exceptional geniuses can do it, but they are extremely rare.

The Evil Emperor could barely understand this, but the fact that he was then converted by Jiang Yun was simply unimaginable, leaving the Evil Emperor stunned and unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Countless sacrificial beings have never heard of a way to purify beings that have fallen into darkness, let alone erase the eerie and ominous.

This unprecedented feat is enough to turn the world upside down. Once the news gets out, it will cause a huge upheaval, turning the entire sacrificial sea upside down.

Even the Evil Emperor believed that the existence of the Evil Earth Plateau could not be ignored.

"Jiang Yun..." His lips moved slightly as he called out Jiang Yun's name in a daze, his voice filled with surprise and admiration, while also giving rise to many speculations.

The Evil Emperor has roamed the sea for countless years, plotting against countless powerful figures. His disciples, through a long period of disguise, almost triggered a bloody sacrifice.

He was very meticulous and quick-witted, and had already figured out that Jiang Yun might not have fallen into darkness at all, and that it was all a disguise.

Of course, it is also possible that they were indeed corrupted, but were purified by a great being.

Countless thoughts flashed through the Evil Emperor's mind as he muttered to himself, speculating on various possibilities, but none of them made his heart pound with fear.

He thought of the name of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, but he couldn't believe it.

After all, if we were to think of a powerful figure who could deduce such a method, it could only be the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

The Evil Emperor was unwilling to believe that this had nothing to do with the Desolate Heaven Emperor and was entirely due to Jiang Yun's own efforts; this was beyond his imagination.

A powerful cultivator who has cultivated for over 200,000 years not only broke through to the third realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but also comprehended such an unprecedented method. It can be said that he found the Achilles' heel of the strange race, which is unbelievable to anyone else.

“That must be it! Jiang Yun’s cultivation speed is so amazing, it must also be related to the Desolate Emperor…” The Evil Emperor’s expression gradually improved, thinking that he had discovered the truth.

Jiang Yun remained silent, letting the Evil Emperor ramble on, while he himself pondered other matters.

The conversion of the Evil Emperor was a huge gain, not only adding a Dao Ancestor to the camp, but also helping Jiang Yun deepen his understanding of the bizarre.

He had also purified some powerful beings, the most powerful of whom were Shi Yi and the Emperor, but of course they were still only Immortal Kings.

Converting a Daoist patriarch was something he had never done before, and he was once worried that he would fail.

Now it seems he was being overly cautious.

Recalling the scene of purifying the Evil Emperor, Jiang Yun saw a series of images before his eyes, strangely rooted in the deepest part of the Evil Emperor's body, closely connected with his Dao foundation, completely different from those Dark Immortal Kings.

The difference is worth pondering, but Jiang Yun still spoke to the Evil Emperor first.

"Evil Emperor, do you have anything to say?" The calm voice echoed in the dojo.

The Evil Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly, finally letting out a long sigh before nodding in homage.

"Paying respects to Daoyuan Daozu."

When he was converted, this name was already engraved in his heart, and he could never forget it or betray Jiang Yun again.

This was also Jiang Yun's deliberate act. Unlike Shi Yi and the Emperor, the Evil Emperor was not an undercover agent sent by Heaven, but a fallen being who had long been entangled with the Strange Clan, only he had not yet taken the final step.

We must not underestimate the Evil Emperor; we need to add an extra layer of protection. The methods that can make other Dark Immortal Kings submit may not be effective against the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor bowed respectfully repeatedly, hoping to get a reply from Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun remained silent. He began to feel uneasy, fearing that Jiang Yun would suppress him again, which was very likely to happen.

He suddenly spoke up, volunteering to Jiang Yun that he could go undercover in the Soul River. He had long been in cahoots with Kong Zun Wushang of the Soul River, and as long as he found a good excuse, he could gain Kong Zun's trust.

Jiang Yun was tempted at first, but in the end he gave up. Kong Zun and he had already completely broken off relations and were now in a state of hostility. They had even agreed to an epic battle to determine the winner before the grand ceremony began.

Under these circumstances, it would be completely unreasonable for him to let the Evil Emperor go so easily.

Perhaps the Evil Emperor would be captured and thoroughly searched as soon as he met Kong Zun, and might even uncover a huge secret hidden within him. That would be too risky and unnecessary.

All the Dao Ancestors in the Soul River are hostile to Jiang Yun, so there is no chance to win them over, let alone convert them.

Simply sending the Evil Emperor into the Soul River wouldn't yield many secrets.

Jiang Yun finally shook his head, neither letting the Evil Emperor go out nor suppressing him again, but instead allowing the Evil Emperor to cultivate in the Dark Origin World.

If the time is right, the Evil Emperor can reappear, but he must not be allowed to have too much contact with the Supreme Beings of other strange races.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the Evil Emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, revealing a relaxed expression. It seemed he wasn't so willing to be an undercover agent; it was too dangerous.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor Dao Yuan!" He nodded emphatically, carefully retreated, and returned to Jiang Yun's Dark Origin World through a side passage.

Soon, only Jiang Yun remained in the training ground. He looked relaxed and smiled contentedly.

He had long wanted to convert a Dao Ancestor, and this time he finally succeeded. The two hundred thousand years had not been wasted. He not only completed his sixth transformation, but also fulfilled this long-cherished wish.

In Jiang Yun's mind, the grand sacrifice that would begin hundreds of thousands of years later was a long-term concern, while the sword light that separated them from the ages could disappear at any moment, which was an immediate worry.

If one does not possess the means to convert a Dao Ancestor-level expert, then dealing with the Xuan Bird after the sword light disappears becomes a difficult choice; perhaps the only option is to kill her.

But this would sadden Hou Ming, which Jiang Yun did not want to see.

Throughout the countless sacrifices, Hou Ming was always very lonely. Before Jiang Yun appeared, he was only close to Xuan Niao. Once he heard the news of Xuan Niao's death, Hou Ming would definitely be heartbroken and in pain.

Jiang Yun waved his hand gently, and a breeze swept through the entire dojo, burying all traces of the past, as if nothing had ever happened.

Then, the dojo suddenly opened, and Jiang Yun looked at the array outside and said with a smile:

"Thank you all for protecting me."

The sound wasn't loud, but it made all the Dao Ancestors in the Underworld look over sharply.

hum!
The formation vanished instantly, and several Dao Ancestors rushed over. Hou Ming took the lead, completely disregarding the gazes of the other Dao Ancestors, and showered Jiang Yun with concern, as if he truly treated him as a younger brother.

However, all the Dao Ancestors noticed something unusual about it.

“Dao Yuan!” Di Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He had long known that Hou Ming cared a lot about Jiang Yun, and even went so far as to take strong action to become Jiang Yun’s support.

But the events that occurred after Jiang Yun went into seclusion this time still broadened his horizons. He never expected that Hou Ming, who was always cold and aloof, could show such an expression. He felt a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and awe), thinking to himself, "Living long enough really allows you to see all sorts of things."

Most of the other Dao Ancestors shared the same thought, silently watching Jiang Yun and Hou Ming as they approached each other, their expressions varying.

However, there was another Taoist patriarch shouting loudly.

"Hou Ming! Since Dao Yuan is safe and sound, why don't you release me quickly?" Huang Quan Ming Mu cried out desperately, hoping to escape her predicament.

She had been trapped for a long time and suffered great losses; her face was pale.

The giant wall that Hou Ming unleashed contained hellfire, which, although it did not burn her to ashes, did cause her minor injuries.

This flame is terrifying, as powerful as the Reincarnation Dao Flame, enough to cause the Dao Ancestor to perish, and the Yellow Spring Netherworld Mother is no match for it.

Hou Ming's face showed a hint of displeasure, as if she felt that Huangquan Mingmu had disturbed her conversation with Jiang Yun. She waved her fingers lightly, as if she was about to use some method.

However, Jiang Yun held Hou Ming's hand without using any force, but it still made Hou Ming blush and her heart race, and she abandoned her original plans.

"Brother Yun, what are you doing..." Hou Ming asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yun did not explain, but instead advised Hou Ming to release the Yellow Spring Mother, implying that he was trying to persuade Hou Ming to let the matter rest.

Hou Ming was filled with doubt, and many Dao Ancestors were also filled with suspicion.

Was Jiang Yun truly seriously injured and only barely recovered, thus unwilling to make any more enemies? That's one possibility.

Some speculate that Jiang Yun might have some affection for the Yellow Spring Mother, since she had once invited him to a gathering of the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld.

However, the Yellow Spring Mother has always appeared as an old woman, which is incomparable to the Queen Mother.

At this moment, Mingyu suddenly nodded, thinking that Jiang Yun was thinking of the Grand Priest.

Back then, an order came from the heavens, and the four primordial lands sent their Dao Ancestors to assist in the battle. However, most of them were killed by the invincible sword light of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and the Dao Ancestors who escaped the calamity were all seriously injured.

If the Yellow Springs Mother is also severely injured by Houming, the Underworld will inevitably be further weakened.

"Daoyuan is right, Houming, release them." Mingyu made the final decision with a single hammer blow.

If it weren't for Jiang Yun's persuasion, and based solely on Mingyu's pleas, Houming might not have let Huangquan Mingmu go. But things are different now.

As expected, she waved her arm, and the enormous ice wall containing a terrifying aura instantly dissipated. The hellfire transformed back into strange power, returning to various parts of the underworld, indistinguishable from anything else.

After the ice wall disappeared, the figure of the Yellow Spring Mother reappeared. Many Dao Ancestors were surprised to see this, as the Yellow Spring Mother seemed to have been seriously injured. The wrinkles on her old face were even deeper, and her aura fluctuated constantly.

Without uttering a word, the Yellow Spring Mother turned to return to her abyss, determined never to venture out again.

However, Hou Ming's cold voice rang out: "Huang Quan, don't you have anything to say?"

The Yellow Spring Mother trembled in fright and stopped in her tracks. She hesitated and looked back, seemingly not expecting the Yellow Spring Mother to call her back.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Jiang Yun chuckle and remembered the scene not long ago when she stopped the Evil Emperor. At that time, what he said was exactly the same as Hou Ming's.

Is it a case of telepathy? Jiang Yun smiled and waved to Hou Ming, who was equally puzzled, telling her not to worry about her.

Hou Ming didn't think much of it, looked at Huang Quan Ming Mu again, and continued what he had just said.

"You should thank Brother Yun! If he hadn't spoken up, I wouldn't have let you off the hook!"

These words resonated powerfully, echoing even deep within the underworld.

This was a blatant threat, as if if the Underworld Mother refused, the Underworld Queen would strike again.

In countless years, the Yellow Springs Mother had never suffered such hardship or lost such face. The fact that a blush had returned to her old face indicated that she was not at peace and was filled with anger.

However, just as she was about to retort, the scene from before appeared before her eyes. Hou Ming's methods firmly suppressed her, leaving her no room to resist.

She looked at the other Dao Ancestors with a pleading expression, hoping they would speak up for her, but none of them responded.

These Dao Ancestors also felt that Huangquan Mingmu's behavior when Jiang Yun's life force was waning was excessive and that she should apologize for it.

Huang Quan Ming Mu was trembling with anger. She had clearly suffered a great loss, so why should she thank Jiang Yun?
All of this is clearly Hou Ming and Jiang Yun's fault!

However, she ultimately yielded. Hou Ming was too terrifying, and he was truly capable of turning on her and making a move. She dared not provoke him.

"Daoyuan...it's all my fault." Huangquan Mingmu's voice was weak and her tone was low, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

The dignified Dao Ancestor of the Underworld, who has traversed countless sacrificial realms and left a glorious name on the Sea of ​​Sacrifices, now has to bow down and admit his mistakes to Jiang Yun, a junior. It's too shameful.

The sound wasn't loud, but to all the Dao Ancestors it was like a thunderclap. Had the Yellow Spring Mother really apologized?

Some Dao Ancestors were completely unprepared, thinking that the Yellow Springs Underworld Mother would be unreasonable and argumentative.

Even Jiang Yun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, finding it quite unexpected.

He stared at the Yellow Springs Mother, pondering deeply, and concluded that this Dao Ancestor was certainly not truly convinced and might be plotting revenge in his heart.

However, Jiang Yun didn't say much. Since it was Hou Ming's good intention, he didn't intend to disappoint her. He waved to signal Huang Quan Ming Mu to leave.

The Yellow Spring Mother breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had survived a calamity. But she was soon filled with shame and regret, and plunged into her own abyss without looking back.

Antiques continuously emanated from the opening of the abyss, exuding a terrifying aura and telling of the abyss's master's wrath.

Without much thought, he led Hou Ming to express his gratitude to the other Dao Ancestors. Without the reincarnation source material they provided, he might have had to use the Hundred Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus, which would have been an enormous waste.

The Hundred Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus is a trump card carefully cultivated by the Black Bird, possessing infinite potential. It can also play a role in his later transformation, so it would be a pity to use it this time.

Jiang Yun's sincerity brought smiles to the faces of many Dao Ancestors, and their attitudes towards him changed. They had initially thought that Jiang Yun's act of making the Yellow Spring Mother apologize was somewhat forceful, but now they all felt relieved.

That's right, it was Huangquan Mingmu who went too far. If Jiang Yunruo didn't make her apologize, it would be a sign of weakness.

Although they were all a strange race, affected by eeriness and ominous aura, these Dao Ancestors' most basic judgment abilities remained unaffected.

"Jiang Yun is indeed remarkable!" Some Dao Ancestors also responded with smiles.

However, Mingyu suddenly spoke up and asked, "Daoyuan, what happened to you just now?"

This was not only his own question, but also the question of many other Dao Ancestors, and even Hou Ming cast a questioning glance at him.

Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Yun had already completed his transformation and broken through to the third realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. (End of Chapter)
