Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

The source of this news is unknown, but it is presented in great detail, and everyone who hears it speaks of it with certainty, spreading it to others.

The sea sacrifice was performed on an endless sea, yet the news spread far and wide in a very short time.

Many cultivators were at a loss and immediately suspected that this was fake news. A new Immortal Emperor had emerged in the heavens, and the heavens should be flourishing. Why would they suddenly send the Dao Ancestor to the heavens to cultivate? It just didn't make sense.

The heavens have witnessed a fierce battle, making it far from a good place for cultivation.

Moreover, although the Strange Clan suffered a great loss more than 200,000 years ago, losing a Celestial Emperor and causing the powerful figures of the four primordial lands to fall into silence, the Strange Clan did not suffer a great loss.

But everyone knows that the dark creatures have a deep foundation, and many powerful beings are hidden in their mysterious ancestral land.

What if, when the Dao Ancestor of the Heavens goes to the Heavens, a strange Immortal Emperor suddenly appears and attacks the Dao Ancestor with divine power, just like the powerful sword strike of the Desolate Heaven Emperor back then?

The Great Dao Ancestor will inevitably suffer heavy losses as well.

This is a visible threat, not an exaggeration.

Some evolved civilizations had a good relationship with the heavens, so it was decided to remind them and send their Dao Ancestors to the heavens.

They never initiated a war against the strange race, but they were inclined towards the heavens and did not want to see them suffer great losses.

The Dao Ancestors' gazes were resolute; they were prepared. If Heaven truly intended for the Great Dao Ancestors to ascend to the heavens to cultivate, they would resolutely stop them.

The fact that Gu Tuo Dao Ancestor took the initiative to come out and greet them surprised these Dao Ancestors of the evolved civilization.

"How could it be him?" These Dao Ancestors exclaimed inwardly, almost doubting that they had mistaken him for someone else. Dao Ancestor Gu Tuo was powerful and resolute, and he was irreconcilably opposed to the dark creatures, but he was not the kind of person who was good at social maneuvering.

Why would they send Gu Tuo Daozu to greet them? It's really incomprehensible.

The Daoist masters fell silent and pondered, feeling that this was an unusual event. Could it be that something had really changed in the heavens?
Gu Tuo spoke calmly, interrupting their thoughts, his tone very even.

"I know why you have come, but Heaven has made a final decision: some Dao Ancestors will go to Heaven to cultivate."

The words struck the ears of the Dao Ancestors like thunderclaps, leaving them stunned and speechless, their eyes filled with disbelief. The rumors were actually true!
This is a complete risk. The dark creatures will never stand idly by while the cultivators of the Great Dao cultivate diligently. They will inevitably launch a shameless sneak attack, and it is even possible that an Immortal Emperor will intervene.

Although the Desolate Emperor is very powerful, he can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can he guard against thieves for a thousand days?

If any oversight were to occur, causing the fall of many Dao Ancestors, it would be an unacceptable loss for Heaven.

These Dao Ancestors exchanged glances, seeing the determination in each other's eyes. They took a step forward and earnestly persuaded Dao Ancestor Gu Tuo.

Several Dao Ancestors even attempted to bypass the ancient rubbings and directly seek an audience with the Willow God.

They knew that this Celestial Emperor possessed the power to make a final decision; if she explicitly opposed it, the adventure would vanish without a trace.

Several Dao Ancestors had made their decisions, their eyes gleaming. Even if Liu Shenhui was dissatisfied, they would speak frankly and persuade her to change her mind.

Gu Tuo took in their expressions and sighed inwardly. This was actually Liu Shen's arrangement, and their ideas were destined to come to nothing!
Actually, when he first heard the news, his expression and feelings were similar to theirs.

It was full of incomprehension and doubt.

He even went to see the Goddess Liu in hopes that she would rescind her decision, but he failed.

Liu Shen presented irrefutable evidence proving the necessity of doing so, leaving Gu Tuo speechless.

However, that evidence could not be told to the Dao Ancestors of these evolving civilizations that no matter how good their relationship with the heavens was, it was still not enough.

It involves too much, contains astonishing secrets, and there can be no risk of any leaks.

Gu Tuo took a deep breath, his fingers flying, shooting out exquisite runes that transformed into a ribbon in the air, summoning an array to block these Dao Ancestors.

The formation exudes an ancient and mysterious aura; it is a trapping formation passed down from ancient times, and even a powerful expert at the third level of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm would find it difficult to leave easily.

The Dao Ancestors stopped, their faces all looking very grim.

This trap is not as simple as it looks; it hides other secrets, which is just the tip of the iceberg. If they break in, they will definitely be trapped and lose face.

"Gu Tuo, what do you mean by this?" a Dao Ancestor said angrily. They came with good intentions to dissuade him, but Heaven did not appreciate it. Why did it have to resort to such methods?

Can't they even listen to kind words?
He was somewhat disappointed, believing that after Liu Shen's breakthrough, the heavens had fallen and become extremely arrogant, no longer the heavens of the past.

Many Daoist patriarchs looked grim, turned around and left, quickly departing from the heavens and disappearing into the depths of the sacrificial sea.

Even the Dao Ancestor who remained changed his expression, treating Gu Tuo with extreme coldness, and calmly took his leave.

Watching these Dao Ancestors leave, Gu Tuo sighed inwardly, but ultimately did not stop them. The secret he had overheard could not be revealed to outsiders; even the heavens rarely knew it, so it was impossible to tell outsiders.

After those Dao Ancestors returned to their respective worlds, they immediately attracted the attention of many people who wanted to know whether their mission had yielded any results.

Some people came to visit.

Soon, news of their being turned away spread, surprising everyone who couldn't understand why Heaven had done such a thing.

Have they really become arrogant and conceited?
Some people feel that this explanation is problematic, and there may be other hidden reasons, but they cannot provide any evidence.

The mysterious clan, which had been lying low, also learned of this matter. The news was actually true; Heaven was indeed going to send the Dao Ancestor to the heavens.

This indicates that there will be no major war in the near future.

Many cultivators of the strange race rejoiced, believing it to be a blessing from their ancestral land.

Many powerful figures coldly mocked, believing that once the cultivators from the heavens arrived above the heavens, they would face a terrifying attack, and the powerful figures from the ancestral lands would immediately kill them all.

Those Dao Ancestors who escaped the calamity of the Desolate Heaven Emperor's sword light were overjoyed, believing that the Dao Ancestors of the Heavens were courting death.

"There are definitely powerful figures in the ancestral land who are no less powerful than the Desolate Heaven Emperor, enough to wipe out the Heavenly Dao Ancestor in one fell swoop!"

However, many people felt a mixture of admiration and confusion when they recalled Jiang Yun's prediction not long ago. How exactly did Jiang Yun foresee it?
This became an unsolvable mystery, even the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld did not know, but he never asked Jiang Yun about it, believing that it was a mysterious method of Jiang Yun that should not be easily passed on.

Even Hou Ming remained silent, never asking about the matter, showing her trust in Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun was moved by this and took the initiative to find Hou Ming to tell her that she would be leaving for a while.

Hou Ming was very surprised after hearing this.

"Brother Yun, where are you going? You can't do anything reckless!"

This is a very delicate time. It is said that the Supreme Dao Ancestor is going to the Upper Heaven, but he has not left yet. If they learn that Jiang Yun has left the Origin Land, they may hunt him down and use Jiang Yun's blood as a sacrifice before his departure.

Hou Ming kept trying to dissuade him, saying that doing so was too dangerous and unnecessary.

She guessed that Jiang Yun had witnessed Liu Shen's breakthrough and was also somewhat anxious, so he planned to go out again to find some altar fragments.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it's different now.

Jiang Yun smiled quietly, and waited until Hou Ming was hoarse from talking before finally explaining that he would not go out as long as the Dao Ancestor had not left.

These words made Hou Ming breathe a sigh of relief, and a bright smile bloomed on his cold face.

This cultivation journey of the Great Dao Ancestor is fraught with unimaginable danger, and Willow God will surely escort him in secret.

The departure of this Celestial Emperor reduced Jiang Yun's danger to a negligible level.

"Brother Yun, why didn't you say so sooner?" She chuckled, but it almost mesmerized Jiang Yun; it was an expression he had never seen before.

If other Dao Ancestors witnessed this scene, they would surely question whether they were seeing a fake Hou Ming. The two looked at each other in silence, time slowly passing, a tender feeling quietly growing between them, almost as if they were of one mind, with only each other in their eyes.

After a long while, Hou Ming regained consciousness, seemed somewhat embarrassed, and turned back to the temple.

Jiang Yun's gaze remained fixed on her as she left.

Then, turning his head to look into the distance, he realized that the sword light that had separated the ages had entered its final countdown and could collapse at any moment.

Although this final moment is unpredictable—it could be ten thousand years from now, or it could be tomorrow—no one will ever notice.

Too many things have happened during this period, and everyone's attention is focused on the heavens, on the newly ascended Immortal Emperor, and on the departure of the Great Dao Ancestor.

No one turned their gaze to the sword light, assuming it would last forever.

But this is just an illusion; time possesses the greatest power, enough to dissolve all existence.

Even a powerful immortal emperor cannot exist forever; they will eventually perish and can only be revived in later generations by relying on the power of the river of time.

Perhaps this is also the reason for the birth of the strange race. Some powerful individuals were unwilling to accept this fate, so they went to the Edo Plateau.

Jiang Yun's thoughts drifted far away, contemplating the past and the future.

He has decided to cross the sword light again when no one is watching, return to the Boundary Sea, and wipe away the tail without leaving any trace.

But this requires waiting. Only when the Great Dao Ancestor ascends to the heavens and everyone's attention is drawn there will be the best time for him to leave.

"Just wait!"

He sighed.

Soon, the Dao Ancestors made preparations to leave and decided to depart.

Gu Tuo was among them. He glanced at the Dao Ancestors and saw that although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the decision, they were all very excited and thought it was a good opportunity.

Countless great battles have erupted in the heavens, and many powerful figures have perished, including even a Celestial Emperor.

After the fall of the powerful, they transformed into many dangerous and perilous places that are not easily approached, but these places are also excellent training grounds for cultivation.

For example, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor cultivated in the desolate land after the Immortal Emperor's fall, and did so for more than 200,000 years without changing his mind.

However, this is also a very risky thing. If the Dao Ancestors also enter that forbidden land, they will only suffer strange attacks and fall into darkness.

This was a great adventure that only the Desolate Heavenly Emperor dared to attempt. The Dao Ancestors admired it but were not jealous, and were pondering where they should go to cultivate.

"They might not disperse, after all, the powerful members of the Mysterious Clan might be lurking in the shadows," a Dao Ancestor speculated.

The others nodded, agreeing that they should all practice asceticism at the same place.

As Gu Tuo passed by, he felt much more relaxed. These Dao Ancestors were ready to go to the heavens, and their morale was high.

He recalled the words that Liu Shen had said to him and felt a sense of mission.

At that time, Liu Shen told him that the Desolate Emperor had also reached the final stage of cultivation and would enter the Sacrifice Dao Realm in the future. At that time, he would lead the Great Dao cultivators to forcefully invade the territory of the Strange Clan and launch an expedition.

This is the final battle, which will determine the fate of Heaven and the Sea Sacrifice, and offer a chance to completely bury the strange race.

Before this great war breaks out, if Heaven wants to improve its strength, it can only send the Dao Ancestors to cultivate in the heavens.

The Willow Goddess will be there to protect you and do everything she can to ensure everything goes smoothly.

However, even so, accidents are bound to happen, and even Dao Ancestors may perish, but these are all necessary sacrifices.

Gu Tuo felt an inexplicable pressure, and a barely perceptible sigh escaped his lips, but he dared not let anyone hear it.

However, the thought of the inevitable great battle roused him once again.

"I must also strive to cultivate myself diligently, and I must not fall behind others!"

For some reason, the faces of Jiang Yun, Shi Yi, and the Emperor appeared before his eyes.

Shi Yi and the Emperor are traitors to the Heavenly Court and must not be let off lightly. He will personally kill them in the great battle.

And Jiang Yun...

Gu Tuo also felt that this Dao Yuan Dao Ancestor's strength was hard to see through. Every time he showed his methods, it was like the tip of an iceberg, hiding a lot of strength. He had never been forced into a desperate situation.

The terrifying Cycle of Reincarnation Flame was even more inexplicable and beyond the expectations of all the Dao Ancestors.

Gu Tuo suddenly clenched his fists, his body radiating an overwhelming fighting spirit.

No matter how powerful Jiang Yun was, he still fell into darkness, and that was Gu Tuo's enemy!

Finally, the Dao Ancestors set off for the heavens.

This was something that had been decided long ago, but seeing this scene still left many people feeling emotional.

"I seem to see countless streams of blood flowing, and many powerful figures falling," an old man lamented.

A young monk behind him nodded.

"Master is right, what Heaven is doing is too risky."

It turns out they were a master and apprentice who were watching the heavens' expedition and thought it was a huge mistake.

There are many cultivators who think like them, including many Dao Ancestors.

On this day, countless powerful beings from evolved civilizations lamented in anger, feeling that the heavens had gone mad.

Actually?

Aside from the Celestial Emperors, who knew that if Heaven didn't go, it would only attract the ancestral land of the plateau, accelerating its demise even faster.

In the four primordial lands, the mysterious Dao Ancestors remained remarkably calm. The moment of ecstasy had passed, and they were all waiting.

Until the very last moment, Heaven might change its mind and allow the Great Dao Ancestor to return.

If that's the case, the strange Dao Ancestors absolutely cannot accept it.

In the underworld, many of the Dao Ancestors were missing. The Netherworld Dao Ancestor did not appear, but no one was surprised. He must be in seclusion, cultivating diligently.

Blood River and Yellow Spring Mother did not leave the abyss, but merely observed from the shadows, looking up at the heavens through the opening of the abyss.

Some people noticed that Jiang Yun's figure had also disappeared, and couldn't help but ask questions.

Hou Ming stepped forward: "Brother Yun is also in seclusion, so he won't be coming this time."

Everyone nodded, finding it both unexpected and reasonable, believing that Jiang Yun truly possessed some mysterious methods and perhaps had already determined the outcome.

Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Yun had not been practicing asceticism, but had long since left the Underworld and arrived at the edge of that sword light. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and the sword light had become increasingly fragile, threatening to dissipate at any moment. (End of Chapter)
