Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

At this moment, Ye Fan finally spoke up and asked.

"Cousin, what level have you reached now?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but had never found the right opportunity. Since Jiang Yun had his reasons for not saying it, he couldn't help himself now.

"Above the Immortal King and below the Immortal Emperor, one can be called a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or a Dao Ancestor!"

Jiang Yun answered with a smile.

Ye Fan then asked him what to do after arriving in the Heavenly Realm.

This time, Jiang Yun only allowed him to go wherever he wanted, and to escape through the Reincarnation Token if he encountered a life-or-death crisis, whether he wanted to venture into the heavens or wander through the myriad realms.

Jiang Yun simply instructed him not to mention her name if he caused trouble.

It will only lead to bigger trouble.

After explaining all this, he led Ye Fan to the Cycle of Reincarnation, gave him a Reincarnation Token, and then disappeared.

The heavens and the strange race are irreconcilable enemies. If he comes near the heavens, it will surely cause a great uproar.

Ye Fan stared in the direction where Jiang Yun had disappeared for a long time in silence, finally letting out a sigh.

For some reason, he always felt that the gap between him and his cousin was getting wider and wider.

I hope that after I arrive in the heavens, I'll have a chance to surpass my cousin.

After seeing Ye Fan off, Jiang Yun did not return directly to the underworld, but instead inquired about what had happened after he left, and soon received the news.

The Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Realm have already reached the heavens above, and have not encountered any attacks along the way; the feared situation has not occurred.

The strange race seemed to become bystanders, silently watching everything unfold.

Furthermore, no mysterious immortal emperor ever made a move.

This surprised many people. They believed that something was amiss and that the dark creatures would not remain silent like this, but were definitely brewing a massive war.

Alternatively, they could take advantage of the Dao Ancestor's departure to once again stir up trouble on the sea.

For a moment, a strange silence fell over all the places where the sea sacrifice was held, and everyone was waiting.

Jiang Yun shook his head slightly. The strange clan had been silent for a long time and would not take advantage of the situation to make a move this time. They were all waiting for the start of the grand ceremony.

He recalled the voice he had heard in the bronze coffin and began to ponder it carefully; it was a message from the Willow God.

Perhaps it wasn't Willow Goddess herself who said it, but rather that she asked the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to convey it, but the voice was indeed Willow Goddess's.

Willow God told him that there were still not enough strong people in the heavens, and they needed to be cultivated. The best way was to start a great war, but the scale had to be limited.

An overly powerful enemy cannot serve as a whetstone; instead, it will cause a potentially precious sword to break prematurely.

In recent years, the Heavenly Emperor first slew the Immortal Emperor, and then the Willow God ascended to the top. Heaven has been at peace for too long.

not good!

Only in a battle where the forces are evenly matched can the stronger party reap the rewards.

Jiang Yun pondered for a long time before finally figuring things out: this meant he was being asked to fight against the heavens!?

That's great, he's really made it big. After defeating the heavens, who would still doubt his traitor status?!

He returned to the underworld in silence, which immediately drew the concern of Hou Ming.

Since Jiang Yun left, she had been worried, fearing that something might have happened to him, or that he might not have been able to cultivate and had been waiting in vain at the dojo. Now she could finally put her mind at ease.

"Brother Yun, you've finally returned." Hou Ming smiled gently and led Jiang Yun back to his dojo.

Upon noticing Jiang Yun's calm expression, she hesitated for a moment before pressing for an answer, asking if the trip had not gone smoothly.

"Is it because we didn't get the altar fragments? That's not a big deal."

She gently advised Jiang Yun not to worry too much, as altar fragments were not easy to obtain. Kong Zun and other leaders of the strange races had spent countless efforts to acquire so many.

Jiang Yun has done quite well as a newcomer.

Feeling Hou Ming's concern, Jiang Yun felt a warmth in his heart and almost released the Xuan Bird, but in the end he held back, as it was difficult to explain.

Let her reappear only after the sword light has completely disappeared.

Jiang Yun suppressed this thought and chatted with Hou Ming. The purpose of this trip was achieved, and everything went smoothly.

He was only worried about one thing.

Hou Ming, curious, continued to press for answers, and Jiang Yun finally spoke. He wanted the Evil Emperor to join the Eight Paths of Reincarnation and become the Supreme Protector, but he was worried about Kong Zun's thoughts.

After all, the Evil Emperor was once a pawn of the Soul River. He was forcefully suppressed and then subdued, which might enrage Kong Zun.

Although Kong Zun probably wouldn't dare to come knocking again easily, he might instruct the forces of the Soul River to oppose the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, which is something Jiang Yun doesn't want to see.

A glint flashed in Hou Mingmei's eyes. She hadn't expected the legend to be true; the Evil Emperor had actually submitted to Jiang Yun.

This news had been circulating for a while, but there was no concrete evidence, so many people were skeptical. Some Dao Ancestors in the Soul River even thought that Jiang Yun was exaggerating.

Only Kong Zun had no doubt that he had a great conflict with Jiang Yun, but precisely because of this, he believed that Jiang Yun would not do such a thing.

Hou Ming, unaware of the details, was skeptical. But upon hearing Jiang Yun's personal admission, he immediately laughed.

"Brother Yun, what methods did you use to make even the Evil Emperor submit?"

She didn't expect a reply from Jiang Yun; there must be a big secret involved, which Jiang Yun didn't need to explain too clearly.

After thinking for a while, Hou Ming spoke up, telling Jiang Yun not to worry. He was just an evil emperor, and the Soul River wouldn't go too far.

"Moreover, all the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld are now on good terms with you, and regard the Eight Paths of Reincarnation as part of our Underworld. They will not sit idly by and watch the River of Souls run rampant."

This statement was very calm, as if stating a simple fact; the voice was crisp, yet contained an undeniable strength.

Back then, the Evil Emperor hadn't joined the Soul River yet, so how could he be considered a traitor? Besides, it's not uncommon for the Soul River and the Underworld to poach people from each other.

Jiang Yun was relieved. He touched the Reincarnation Token and summoned all the Dharma Protectors and Dao Lords. He had something important to announce.

Soon, the news spread throughout the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, and everyone was surprised, wondering what Jiang Yun was going to do.

"Are we going to wage war against the heavens?"

Some people are speculating and suspecting that this is a sign of the start of a great war, and that they will launch an attack while many of the Dao Ancestors of Heaven have departed.

However, many others shook their heads, believing that Jiang Yun wouldn't do such a thing; it was too sudden and not in line with Jiang Yun's style.

They were all excited, thinking that Jiang Yun might be about to launch another competition to promote a new protector.

These people had long coveted the benefits that the Bull Demon King and the Candle Dragon had gained, but they were helpless and all believed that this was an opportunity.

More than 200,000 years have passed, and they all believe that they have made great contributions to the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, and their strength and realm have improved.

This time, he will surely become the new protector.

Some of the more powerful Dao Lords were already considering what they should be called if they became the new Protectors.
We already have left and right protectors; perhaps we could call them front and back protectors.

With their own thoughts, the group quickly arrived before Jiang Yun. This was the core hall of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, with its carved beams and painted rafters, exuding grandeur and an indescribable aura and pressure.

Even a powerful Immortal King would feel compelled to bow down in reverence when standing in the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, all the powerful figures were immediately affected, ceasing their wild thoughts and quietly awaiting Jiang Yun's appearance.

Step, step, step!
After a long time, footsteps finally sounded. These sounds seemed to resonate in everyone's hearts, making their hearts beat in unison and moving them deeply.

Over time, Jiang Yun has become an unshakable faith in their hearts, and they dare not show any disrespect to him.

Even just hearing footsteps can have a significant impact.

However, some people frowned inwardly. The footsteps didn't belong to Jiang Yun alone; there were also unfamiliar voices. Who were these? Who dared to appear at the same time as Jiang Yun?
They dared not look up, and could only remain puzzled in their hearts.

They waited until the footsteps disappeared, then bowed in unison before daring to look, only to be instantly lost in confusion.

"Isn't this the Evil Emperor?" someone exclaimed in a low voice, then quickly covered their mouth, as this was too disrespectful to Jiang Yun.

However, everyone had the same thought: they never expected that the unfamiliar footsteps would belong to the Evil Emperor.

In fact, the Evil Emperor had appeared not long ago and was witnessed by some people, but it is not certain.

When Jiang Yun suppressed the Evil Emperor, many people witnessed it and thought that the Evil Emperor had already perished. His reappearance was highly suspicious.

Unbeknownst to them, the Evil Emperor had gained much from Kong Zun, mastering a secret technique that allowed him to merge his physical body with the ninety-nine altars. As long as the altars remained intact, his soul would not perish, making him difficult to kill. However, the facts were now staring them in the face.

The powerful aura emanating from the Evil Emperor was unmistakable, bloody and evil, belonging to this veteran Dao Ancestor.

The Evil Emperor had initiated many sacrifices, sacrificing many powerful beings. Even after being converted by Jiang Yun, he could not completely get rid of that unique aura.

But this also became the best disguise, so no one would suspect anything, just like the real, mysterious Dao Ancestor.

The powerful figures of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation gradually fell silent, wondering why the Evil Emperor had appeared here.

They waited until Jiang Yun broke the silence.

"I summoned you here to announce something. From this day forward, the Evil Emperor will become the Supreme Protector of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation..."

boom!
The hall erupted in chaos.

No one expected Jiang Yun to say such a thing. The Evil Emperor was a powerful Dao Ancestor who had stirred up countless bloody storms on the Sacrifice Sea.

Even his disciples were in the same boat, almost sacrificing hundreds of immortal kings. If Jiang Yun hadn't intervened, they would have almost succeeded.

He might even become a completely new Dao Ancestor as a result.

It is renowned for its prestige, possesses profound foundations, and is unimaginably powerful.

Only Jiang Yun, who possessed the mysterious and powerful Reincarnation Flame, and who had the advantage of cunningly luring the Evil Emperor into the cycle of reincarnation, was able to finally defeat him.

The powerful beings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, judging others by their own standards, all believed that the Evil Emperor was definitely not convinced and would not easily submit to Jiang Yun, which is completely illogical.

Even if they had to bow down for some reason, they would not be willing to join the Eight Paths of Reincarnation to work for Jiang Yun. It would be too shameful, practically making them a lackey.

but……

They glanced furtively at the Evil Emperor, only to see him calm and expressionless, even occasionally nodding to Jiang Yun as if he were the most loyal subordinate.

This left them all bewildered, speechless, their eyes filled with shock.

What exactly happened? How could a dignified Dao Ancestor willingly become Jiang Yun's subordinate?
Doubt and confusion lingered in their minds for a long time.

An eerie silence fell over the hall; no one spoke, everyone was deep in thought.

Some people quickly calmed down. The Evil Emperor's joining the Eight Paths of Reincarnation was a foregone conclusion, and thinking about it any further would be a waste of energy.

They gradually became excited. With the addition of a Dao Ancestor, the development of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation would surely reach a new level!

It should be noted that the Evil Emperor did not join the four major origin lands, so he was not bound by the agreement and could still make a move.

If the Eight Paths of Reincarnation clash with other forces again, and the Evil Emperor emerges with overwhelming force, who will dare to challenge him?
They trembled with excitement, as if they could see the Eight Paths of Reincarnation firmly rooting their tentacles in all the heavens and myriad realms, and even began to imagine that they could infiltrate the heavens.

In the past, the heavens were incredibly powerful and irreconcilably opposed to the strange race. A great war would inevitably break out whenever they met, even affecting the eight paths of reincarnation.

The place where the heavens reside is the center of the sea sacrifice, and many cycles of reincarnation pass through it. Most of the powerful worlds are located here.

Because of the existence of the heavens, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation dare not easily intervene, thus missing many opportunities.

But it’s different now!

One of the Dao Lords suddenly bowed his head and rushed to pay his respects to the Evil Emperor.

"Greetings to the Supreme Protector."

Seeing this, the other Dao Lords cursed him inwardly for his lack of backbone, admitting defeat so quickly, and they all had no choice but to lower their heads as well.

Zhulong and Niu Mo exchanged a glance, both seeing the resentment in each other's eyes. They had thought that in the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, they would be next to Jiang Yun.

Second only to the emperor, above hundreds of millions of people.

But suddenly an evil emperor appeared and forcefully suppressed them.

Unfortunately, given their strength, they were helpless and eventually bowed to the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor was also somewhat excited; he had never imagined that such a day would come for him.

He was powerful in the past, but he never enjoyed such a life. Even the apprentices he trained were just used as firewood.

They were ready to sacrifice them at any time, turning them into stepping stones for their own upward breakthrough.

This is the first time I've ever received such a large number of worshippers.

His face flushed, and he laughed heartily in return.

Jiang Yun remained calm upon seeing this, having anticipated it.

In the ritual of offering sacrifices to the sea, strength reigns supreme. Given the Evil Emperor's level of power, no one dares to oppose him; ultimately, they can only accept reality.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun spoke.

"After the Evil Emperor becomes a protector, my Eight Paths of Reincarnation must also take action."

The last world unaffected by the Reincarnation Decree is ready to be conquered, as a celebration.

This statement attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was looking forward to it.

After a long period of development, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation have long since spread throughout the myriad realms.

Even in the most remote worlds, as long as cultivators still exist and the world has not become completely desolate, the shadow of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation will remain.

Only in the vicinity of the heavens are there many unaffected worlds.

Jiang Yun's words were practically a declaration of war against the heavens, something unprecedented, which excited all the Dao Lords.

Bull Demon and Candle Dragon spoke first, hoping to be the vanguard.

However, Jiang Yun did not agree. He had other intentions and wanted to use this opportunity to train with the heavens.

This was Liu Shen and the others' intention; they didn't want the heavens to be too quiet.

Through a series of battles, a new generation replaced the old, allowing talented cultivators to rise rapidly.

Only through great battles can the Dao Ancestor be born, at the cost of blood.

It is beneficial to both parties.

It would be inappropriate to send out these two powerful protectors right from the start.

They should only stay in the rear, working alongside the Evil Emperor to act as the ballast of the great battle and control its intensity.

Upgrade gradually.

The power of the heavens is extraordinary. It is true that Liu Shen and the others went to a deeper place above the heavens, but those few remnant immortal emperors are still in the heavens.

Even if a few Dao Ancestors actually storm in, it shouldn't be enough to defeat them. Gradually letting the influence of the Reincarnation Decree penetrate deeper will suffice.

Turning the area around the heavens into a battlefield is both a way to train troops and a way to pledge allegiance to the strange race, proving that I dare to fight the heavens.

Who else would dare?
Jiang Yun waved his hand, indicating that they shouldn't be in a hurry, and that they would naturally be of use to him in the future.

He randomly assigned a Dao Lord, the Emperor Light Immortal King, to lead his Reincarnation Slaves in a small-scale battle, attacking a world surrounding the Heavenly Realm.

The Daoist leader was smug and full of pride, believing he had gained Jiang Yun's favor, and left to carry out his orders.

The other Dao Ancestors were all envious; the eyes of the Bull Demon and the Candle Dragon were somewhat red, as they felt they had missed an opportunity.

Many people believe that this is the purpose of the strange race.

To test the current state of the Heavenly Realm after the Dao Ancestor left.

Soon, the heavens resounded with the news. Many people could not believe it, yet at the same time, it felt as if a stone had been lifted from their shoulders.

"The dark creatures have finally made their move!"

They viewed the cycle of reincarnation as a trial balloon being cast by the four primordial realms, a test of the heavens' true nature.

If Heaven yields, perhaps an even greater war will break out.

In an instant, the heavens were in turmoil, and all eyes were on that world.

The powerful beings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation are already on their way, but they are blocked outside the world and unable to enter. A great battle is about to break out.

The heavens, too, quickly learned of everything and were furious. (End of Chapter)
