Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

At this moment, the willow tree seemed to fall into a deep sleep. Its leaves and branches were still swaying, but it was like a dead thing, without any vitality, as if it had never been born with intelligence.

But this is an illusion. The powerful magical artifacts left behind by the two fallen Dao Ancestors are still on a willow branch, telling the story of the Willow God's power.

No one knows how long it will take for Liu Shen to break through; it's something they can't predict.

Some people are worried that Liu Shen's breakthrough may bring about a change, and perhaps the entire Sacrifice Sea will be affected. Some powerful figures have quietly gone into hiding, and no one knows where they have gone.

In the four primordial lands, the mysterious Dao Ancestors, with complex emotions, witnessed the rise of a formidable foe.

Thinking of the invincible demeanor of the Desolate Emperor, they all felt somewhat disappointed.

However, they eventually rallied. The Ecuadorian Plateau was mysterious and unpredictable, guarded by powerful beings.

Let alone adding another Immortal Emperor Liu, even if Immortal Emperor Luo and Immortal Emperor Menghai were fully revived and both marched towards the E'tu Plateau, they would still be no match for the Ancestral Emperor!
A Daoist patriarch raised his arms and shouted, expressing his thoughts: if the Willow God truly becomes an Immortal Emperor, he will eventually become a sacrifice and be transformed into their nourishment.

The other Daoist masters all showed joy, their brows relaxed, and they nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right! What's wrong with one more Immortal Emperor?"

At the same time, many Dao Ancestors were also relieved that after Liu Shen became an Immortal Emperor, she was no longer their enemy and no longer needed the strange Immortal Emperor to worry about her.

They no longer need to fight the powerful Willow God.

Countless powerful figures are paying close attention to Liu Shen. Even those who have never had any contact with her dare not relax their vigilance. They all have inexplicable thoughts in their hearts, believing that a great chaos is about to begin.

Celestial Emperors are extremely rare; one may not appear for countless millennia.

However, after the Desolate Emperor took that step, the Willow Goddess followed suit, which was simply unimaginable.

These powerful individuals have grown up over countless years, and they all know in their hearts that the more prosperous and contentious an era is, the more likely it is to be a terrifying war.

"This grand ceremony may be unprecedented!" Many powerful figures were panicked, but had nowhere to confide in, so they remained silent.

At this moment, the entire sacrificial sea seemed to fall silent, and countless creatures stared blankly at the willow tree.

Willow Goddess's body would regain its vitality, then disappear again, repeating this cycle endlessly, but in reality, there was no pattern to it. Sometimes she would experience a revival every two or three days, and sometimes every ten days or so.

The creatures who witnessed this scene seemed to freeze in place, immersed in the magic of the Willow God. Some of them realized that this might be a manifestation of the Willow God's magic.

Unfortunately, they couldn't comprehend it at all; their levels of understanding were too far apart.

The Daoist patriarchs could probably see a clue, but they still couldn't understand it because they chose different paths.

In the underworld, Jiang Yun and Hou Ming were the same; when they stood together, their figures seemed to merge into one.

Hou Ming muttered to himself, and only Jiang Yun could hear him.

He knew that Hou Ming was filled with envy and regret. After comprehending the Hellfire, Hou Ming's combat power was astonishing, making him virtually invincible below the Immortal Emperor level in the Underworld. However, his path forward was also cut off, and he made no progress for countless millennia.

It wasn't until Xuan Niao and Jiang Yun appeared, bringing the Reincarnation Dao Flame into the world, that Hou Ming was able to continue his cultivation path, but too much time had already been wasted.

Not only is it lagging behind Liu Shen, but it is also somewhat behind Ming Yu.

Without the Hellfire, perhaps she would have stood on the verge of a breakthrough, or even taken that step first.

This is not just Hou Ming's wild imagination; she is also an ancient being.

Sensing Hou Ming's thoughts, Jiang Yun's heart stirred slightly, and she smiled at Hou Ming. "Fortunately, Sister Hou Ming hasn't broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you."

These words made Hou Ming realize something, and he felt a little shy. He shook his head and remained silent, but eventually he broke free from that emotion.

Since meeting Jiang Yun, she has lost her former cold and aloofness in front of him.

Just then, Jiang Yun sensed something and frowned as he looked into the distance.

That was the direction of the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, which separated countless ages and protected the Boundary Sea.

At this moment, the sword light trembled slightly, as if paying tribute to the new Immortal Emperor who was about to be born.

A shattering sound emanated from within the sword's gleam, sending a chill down one's spine.

Jiang Yun didn't know why this phenomenon occurred; perhaps it was related to Liu Shen's breakthrough.

The Immortal Emperor realm is unpredictable; it's possible that the breakthrough triggered some kind of change that greatly affected the sword light.

No wonder Liu Shen reminded him last time to prepare for the sword light to disappear; it turns out Liu Shen had already foreseen this day.

However, Jiang Yun was indeed well prepared. The experience of converting the Evil Emperor had given him a lot of experience. Although he was still not confident in converting Hou Ming, converting the Xuan Bird was no longer a problem.

The only thing to be careful about is timing; we need to return to the Boundary Sea before the other Dao Ancestors discover the problem.

Sweep away any traces of his past to prevent his origins from being discovered.

Recalling the past of the Boundary Sea, Jiang Yun felt a sense of bewilderment. Unbeknownst to him, more than 200,000 years had passed since he crossed that sword light. It was too long.

What does the other side of the border sea look like now?
He was lost in memories and reflection.

As Jiang Yun pondered, the Willow Goddess's true form continued to change. Many people noticed that the changes in the Willow Goddess were ultimately governed by a pattern, and her aura was strengthening, seemingly without limit.

Before we knew it, the willow tree had truly grown tall and strong, its branches, leaves, and roots touching the boundary.

This means she has reached a critical juncture.

Time flows on, changes occur, and no one can say for sure what Liu Shen is going through.

Some obscure images appeared around her, then quickly disappeared.

The fundamental principles of the universe are constantly being revealed.

Finally, as if it were the natural course of events, Liu Shen took the final step. A cracking sound resounded in everyone's hearts, even startling Jiang Yun out of his memories and making him look at Liu Shen again.

The Willow God's true form has stopped expanding and is instead rapidly shrinking, gradually dimming as it tries to merge with the world.

But this was just an illusion; the real body was merely a phantom. The figure of Liu Shen appeared, her face calm and expressionless.

However, the powerful aura emanating from her spoke for itself.

At this moment, even the strange Dao Ancestors of the four Origin Lands dared not look directly at him, for they all knew that Liu Shen had become an Immortal Emperor!
Despite having anticipated it, many of the strange Dao Ancestors were still extremely disappointed.

On the contrary, deafening cheers resounded from the heavens, and all the cultivators of the Great Dao were swept up in ecstasy, celebrating to their hearts' content.

The Willow Goddess's gaze was calm as she slowly turned around, seemingly surveying the entire sacrificial sea with her eyes, revealing everything before her.

When she looked at Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun seemed to sense something, but did not show any abnormality.

In the end, the Willow Goddess disappeared into the sky above the sacrificial sea without uttering a word.

Everything returned to calm, but everyone knew that change had occurred, and the birth of the new Immortal Emperor would alter many things. Some were excited, while others were worried.

Liu Shen breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm!

The astonishing news spread, alarming countless living beings who silently chanted the name of Emperor Liu.

They stared at Liu Shen, eager to know what she would do next.

Some cultivators were trembling with fear. They had also had contact with the dark creatures and were now terrified, worried that the Willow God would lead the cultivators of the heavens to launch a campaign and bury all cultivators like them.

However, to everyone's surprise, after breaking through, Liu Shen did not make any move. After scanning the world, he disappeared instantly.

This scene was astonishing; I never expected it.

"What is Liu Shen doing?" Many people were guessing, but there was no answer, and they had no idea what Liu Shen's intentions were.

The four primordial lands and the mysterious Dao Ancestor all became tense.

They weren't worried about Liu Shen suddenly attacking, but now things are a little different.

Willow God's behavior is strange. Is she really going to risk coming to kill us? Some strange Dao Ancestors are on guard. Willow God's performance is too unexpected. Back then, before she even broke through, she had fought a series of battles with the strange race.

Why is he so calm after the breakthrough?
Something unusual must be going on; suspicion filled their minds.

Orders were issued from the four origin lands, not only reiterating that the strange Dao Ancestor was not allowed to leave the origin land, but also requiring some forces that depended on the origin land to shrink back.

Jiang Yun also received an order: Di Tian personally came to his dojo and asked him to immediately order the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to cease operations, and all reincarnation slaves to return to the underworld, as even the path of reincarnation was not safe.

"Be patient! Everything will be alright once the grand ceremony begins! Although that Willow Goddess is an Immortal Emperor and virtually invincible in the Sea of ​​Sacrifice, don't forget there are powerful figures above the Sea of ​​Sacrifice! The Ancestral Land won't just stand by and watch her run amok!"

Di Tian spoke slowly and deliberately, seemingly trying to soothe Jiang Yun's emotions, but he spoke too fast, unlike his usual demeanor.

This shows that he was actually anxious.

Jiang Yun nodded, but a strange feeling arose in his heart. Di Tian's words reminded him of some ancient memories, leaving him somewhat speechless.

Invincible under heaven, yet enemies come from the sky?
He smiled slightly, standing proudly in the dojo with his hands behind his back, showing no sign of worry or fear, as if he hadn't listened to Di Tian's words at all.

Di Tian was a little anxious and wanted to remind him, but Jiang Yun waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Since it is Fellow Daoist Ditian who has spoken, I will gladly comply. From this day forward, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation shall fall silent!"

His tone was casual, as if he were preaching to a younger cultivator, showing no concern and handling matters with ease.

But his words instantly resonated in the hearts of the guardians and lords of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, containing an undeniable force!
Jiang Yun did not use the Reincarnation Token to send a message, hoping to take this opportunity to test the ability to mobilize the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, and the result satisfied him.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two guardians, Zhulong and Niu Mo, immediately followed Jiang Yun's orders and instructed the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to begin shrinking and falling silent.

No one dared to refuse, or even delay in the slightest; this was the supreme authority that Jiang Yun had established in the Eight Paths of Reincarnation.

One by one, the reincarnated foragers spread the word, traversing the cycle of reincarnation, and the news reached the entire Sacrifice Sea. Even the most remote worlds received the news in a very short time.

Countless reincarnation slaves travel through the cycle of reincarnation to the underworld.

The underworld is vast and boundless, yet it appears somewhat crowded at this moment. This is an illusion, but it is still alarming. Just how much power has the Eight Paths of Reincarnation expanded over the years?
All of this happened in a very short time. Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Jiang Yun would not obey orders, but now he realized that he had been overthinking it.

“Daoyuan is not confused when it comes to important matters.” Ditian smiled to himself, but soon became somewhat doubtful. Jiang Yun did indeed order the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to shrink, but his performance was too ordinary, as if he was not worried about Liu Shen at all.

This is really unreasonable.

Jiang Yun noticed the change in Di Tian's emotions, but remained calm and composed. He gently flew into the air, sat cross-legged, and his eyes shone as if he could see through endless time and space and foresee the future.

“Fellow Daoist Ditian, there is no need to doubt. I am indeed not worried about Goddess Liu, but I cannot explain the reasons to you in detail.”

He was being deliberately mysterious, as if he had some kind of evidence, but in reality, he had no basis whatsoever; it was just speculation.

If Liu Shen intended to lead the Great Dao Ancestor to conquer the Origin Land, she would definitely have let me know in advance. I should have given her a heads-up when we met last time.

However, although that secret meeting was very rushed and discreet, Liu Shen only reminded him to remember to seize the opportunity to return to the Boundary Sea to clean up the mess, but never mentioned this matter.

A powerful figure like Liu Shen would not make such an obvious mistake. Therefore, many of the battles that the strange Dao Ancestors had speculated about would never actually happen.

Di Tian was skeptical, but ultimately did not ask Jiang Yun for the reason behind his judgment. Every Dao Ancestor has his own Dao method, and perhaps Jiang Yun really foresaw a certain moment in the future.

He departed with this prophecy, which quickly spread among the Dao Ancestors in the Underworld, causing them to display complex expressions.

Some Dao Ancestors believed Jiang Yun's prediction, after all, when Liu Shen revealed a state of deathly stillness, it was he who was the first to judge that it was a trap.

Perhaps Jiang Yun saw the Willow God as a thorn in the side of the strange race, and studied it day and night, finally discovering some patterns in the Willow God's actions.

This is somewhat unbelievable, but not impossible.

However, there were some Dao Ancestors who had a good relationship with Jiang Yun, but they did not believe in this prediction.

If Liu Shen were still the Dao Ancestor, perhaps this prediction would still hold true, but Liu Shen has already broken through to the Immortal Emperor level.

How could the Dao Ancestor possibly fathom the Immortal Emperor's intentions?

Many Dao Ancestors even suspected that the Willow God's ability to take that step in such a short time, leaving the Underworld behind, might have been due to the guidance of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

The mere thought of the name of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor caused these Dao Ancestors to feel a tightness in their chests, realizing that the Willow God was a very deep being, hiding a shocking scheme behind her, and was not as simple as Jiang Yun had imagined.

"This is completely baseless speculation. How dare Dao Yuan spout such nonsense!"

"That's what I think too."

Several Dao Ancestors discussed privately, their divine thoughts converging in the air. They spoke ill of Jiang Yun behind his back, but without much malice. They simply felt that Jiang Yun might have had it too easy and had lost his reverence for the strong.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity. He will learn from his failure and change his ways in the future."

This was the divine sense of the Blood River Dao Ancestor. It could be seen that he was smiling, but the divine sense was somewhat weak. More than 200,000 years had passed, and he still had not fully recovered.

The power of the Desolate Emperor's sword was truly formidable.

As time slowly passed, the sudden silence of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation attracted the attention of many, who believed that the Sea Sacrifice was about to undergo earth-shattering changes.

It seems that the rise of the heavens and the decline of the strange race were already a predetermined ending.

Many worlds and evolving civilizations are ready to make contact with the heavens.

However, a piece of news quickly spread, surprising them all.

"What? A cultivator of the Great Dao is going to ascend to the heavens?" (End of Chapter)
