Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

This broken ancient sword should be the Emperor Sword of that Immortal Emperor, but it is obvious that this Emperor Sword is broken and no longer has the power it once had.

Although the peerless Immortal Emperor managed to return to his peak combat power at the last moment, he did not use a single ounce of his strength on the Emperor Sword. Instead, he used it all to obliterate the strange Immortal Emperor.

Freezing time and space to obliterate a formidable enemy—what a remarkable feat!

The world of cultivation is so beautiful; it's not just one Desolate Heavenly Emperor who has amazed the ages.

Jiang Yun arrived at the broken imperial sword and then put it away.

At the same time, he secretly made a decision: he must not use this imperial sword unless absolutely necessary.

All this was because the Emperor Sword had such a powerful origin, involving that peerless and heroic Immortal Emperor.

Among the four ancestral origin sites, especially the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, there might still be old monsters who can recognize this Emperor Sword.

Jiang Yun then looked at the stone jar.

This stone jar is what is known as the ancestral artifact, or rather, the opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor that those Dao Ancestors were fighting tooth and nail for.

No, the Immortal Emperor's Opportunity is the Immortal Emperor's Opportunity, and the Ancestral Artifact Stone Jar is just a stone jar.

Jiang Yun sighed. At this moment, he fully understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The Immortal Emperor of yesteryear obtained the Ancestral Artifact, but clearly did not fully refine it; in fact, the Ancestral Artifact even suffered a backlash to some extent. During this process, the Immortal Emperor saw three possibilities for the future.

That Celestial Emperor chose to perish alongside the Mysterious Celestial Emperor in the end, placing his hopes on future generations, thus choosing the first possibility.

However, what they did not expect was that the Dao Ancestor of the ancestral land of the secluded world would not dare to fight the three Dao Ancestors to the death.

Therefore, it did not receive the recognition of the so-called Immortal Emperor's Opportunity, which should be the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor.

If the Dao Ancestor of the Outer Ancestral Land dares to fight to the death and ultimately perishes, then the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor will transform into Dao Fire, regenerating its former fighting power and helping the Outer Ancestral Land advance to the Immortal Emperor realm.

For a being capable of obliterating an Immortal Emperor, doing so is not difficult, even if it is only in a remnant soul state.

The so-called "Opportunity of the Immortal Emperor" is truly well-deserved.

Unfortunately, things did not develop as the Immortal Emperor had predicted, and the so-called Ancestral Dao Ancestor of the Outer World still failed to make the right choice.

The ancestral artifact stone jar possesses a spirit, still preserving a wisp of the former Immortal Emperor's remnant soul and aiding its revival. This is the so-called second ending, the ending that the ancestral artifact stone jar desires even more.

This was also within the expectations of the Strange Immortal Emperor, who had already made preparations in advance and was revived by the Immortal Emperor's grand wish when he was on the verge of death.

Helpless, the peerless immortal emperor relied to some extent on the ancestral artifact to restore his former combat power and completely obliterate the strange immortal emperor.

But the peerless immortal emperor would rather fall from his peak, hide in the chaos of resurgence, and continue to wait for the future than be used by the ancestral artifact and lose himself.

You have to give as much as you receive, even if you are at the Immortal Emperor level.

Without the ancestral artifact, there would be no complete revival at that moment. But once fully revived, it also means that the ancestral artifact has been deeply eroded. If this continues, it will not be the Immortal Emperor controlling the ancestral artifact, but the ancestral artifact controlling the Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, the Immortal Emperor entrusted everything to the outsider Jiang Yun, thus leading to the third possible ending.

Such a choice, such momentum, is truly earth-shattering and beyond description.

The Celestial Emperor of the Mysterious Clan was willing to pay any price to increase his strength.

In Jiang Yun's view, they were simply corrupted beings.

But do the strange immortal emperors not know this?

Even the so-called progenitors didn't know this?

No, they knew, but for the sake of greater strength, they were willing and didn't care at all.

It can only be said that, although they are both supreme beings, some believe in themselves while others place their hopes on external things.

At this moment, Jiang Yun looked at the so-called ancestral artifact stone jar with a complicated expression. Now that things had come to this, how could he not realize that this stone jar was most likely the one that Chu Feng obtained in later generations?

However, Chu Feng obtained this stone jar from the underworld, which is Earth, but I obtained it from the ancestral land outside the world.

Why is there such a difference?

The most likely scenario is that, without Jiang Yun's appearance, that peerless Immortal Emperor would have been affected by the ancestral artifact and then left the ancestral land.

Whether it subsequently joined the Ecuadorian Plateau or remained dormant among the four ancient origin sites remains unknown.

However, as long as the Immortal Emperor joins the Strange Clan and becomes a Strange Puppet, the Stone Jar, as an ancestral artifact, will return.

But why he fell into the underworld is something that cannot be explained.

Perhaps it was because of the great battle to come that it was taken away by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Ye Heavenly Emperor.

After some investigation, he realized something and knocked it down to the underworld, leaving it for Chu Feng to discover later.

Perhaps it was because the Celestial Emperor regained consciousness at the last moment that he knocked the stone jar out again, and it ended up in various worlds.

Perhaps it was obtained by the Luo Xian Emperor, who reigned supreme above the heavens, during his attack on the E'tu Plateau...

There are just too many possibilities, but in any case, the stone jar is now in Jiang Yun's hands.

His expression turned serious; he was somewhat wary of the stone jar.

Whether in the hands of this Immortal Emperor or in the hands of Chu Feng, this seemingly calm stone jar seems to be influenced by a strange will.

Once the host has reached a sufficient level of maturity, it will guide and convert him to the Evil Land Plateau.

The stone jar in later generations may have undergone other changes, which prevented it from successfully converting and guiding Chu Feng.

But now, with the stone jar in Jiang Yun's hands, he is somewhat uncertain whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for him.

He pondered for a long time, but finally realized that the Immortal Emperor must have seen something to leave such an artifact to him, and he knew very well how powerful this stone jar was.

But he still did it, which is enough to show that he didn't see the stone jar as a great threat to him.

Perhaps this is also a test, after all, he also left the Emperor's Sword to himself.

In any case, obtaining this stone jar and the Emperor's Sword made the trip worthwhile.

Especially considering that in later generations, in Chu Feng's hands, this stone jar actually possessed the ability to incinerate Dao Ancestors and Immortal Emperors, and even the Evil Earth Plateau could not be revived.

He became even more certain that he had gained a great deal from this trip, and that he had obtained an incredible opportunity.

As for why the three Dao Ancestors in the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit received the so-called Immortal Emperor's Opportunity.

It's highly likely that this was a scheme devised by the mysterious Immortal Emperor before his demise, all for the purpose of sharpening the Emperor Blade.

By a twist of fate, Jiang Yun was drawn into the scheme.

The mysterious Immortal Emperor's opportunity to lure future Dao Ancestors was probably a death warrant, while the true opportunity left behind by the peerless Immortal Emperor was a wisp of his own remnant soul.

If that Dao Ancestor from the ancestral land of the secluded world dares to fight a bloody battle, his remnant soul will become fuel for his advancement to the Immortal Emperor realm.

It's a pity that the Dao Ancestor did not make that choice.

It could be said that the peerless Immortal Emperor misjudged the person, and that Dao Ancestor made the wrong choice. If he had made the right choice, he could not only have become the Immortal Emperor, but also obtained this stone jar. In the end, all of this benefited Jiang Yun, and as for how to deal with the stone jar, Jiang Yun was at a loss.

Finally, he made his decision.

If all else fails, next time we encounter Liu Shen or another Immortal Emperor we can trust, we can ask them to help refine it again. Even if Liu Shen and the others can't do it, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor should be able to.

Even if the sky falls, the Immortal Emperor and the others will hold it up. What is there to worry about for a mere Dao Ancestor like myself?

Jiang Yun comforted herself with this thought, and then decided to put the stone jar away.

Of course, he didn't put the stone jar inside his body; he was also afraid of something.

He took out the broken imperial sword again and began to refine it, wanting to use it for his own purposes.

Finally, after thousands of years, the broken imperial sword was finally marked with his imprint.

Immediately afterwards, he created a space within the broken imperial sword and carefully placed the stone jar inside.

After doing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, with the broken Emperor Sword in hand, he now had another weapon that was sufficiently intimidating.

Moreover, there might be a chance to repair this damaged imperial sword in the future, and at that time, it might be able to be restored to its true imperial status.

If you think about it carefully, from the time he discovered the traces of the three Dao Ancestors and followed them all the way to now, more than 10,000 years have passed without him realizing it.

"I wonder how things are now."

What is the current situation in the Underworld, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, the Celestial Realm, and other great realms?

He's been gone for so long this time that he's not even sure anymore.

We still need to go back to the underworld first to see what's going on. We've stood up Houming all these years.

His figure disappeared from the spot.

In the underworld, Houming, who was originally in seclusion cultivating and comprehending the Reincarnation Flame brought by Jiang Yun, sensed Jiang Yun's return and opened his eyes with a look of surprise.

“Brother Yun, you’re back. You’ve been gone for ten thousand years. It was truly worrying.”

Hou Ming appeared in front of Jiang Yun and said with concern.

"I didn't expect to be away for so long this time, but I've gained a lot from it."

Thinking about his experiences over the past ten thousand years, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

But he didn't say much to Hou Ming, instead asking:
"What has happened in the past ten thousand years?"

The place I went to was far from the heavens and the myriad realms, so I had no way of perceiving what was happening there.

After finally leaving, I rushed back to the underworld to find my sister, unaware of the current situation in the outside world.

After ten thousand years, although Houming was certain that Jiang Yun was not in any life-threatening danger and was doing well, he still couldn't stop worrying about her.

Now that they have suddenly met again, he is overjoyed. Hearing that Jiang Yun has returned and came directly to the underworld to find him, it is clear that he cares about him.

Therefore, Hou Ming couldn't help but feel a slight joy in his heart as he looked at Jiang Yun:

"There was no movement from the heavens."

The Eight Paths of Reincarnation you govern are still at war with them, and both sides have suffered losses over the years.

In general, many of our Celestial Kings also died in battle, but the enemy side lost even more Celestial Kings.

The immortal king of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation still holds the upper hand, but the heavens are ultimately not to be underestimated.

Over the years, as the battle has deepened, the strength of the Celestial Kings on the other side of Heaven has also increased, making them no longer as easy to deal with as before.

"Therefore, the reincarnation decree of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation has not yet completely conquered the great world surrounding the heavens..."

After speaking, Hou Ming looked at Jiang Yun with some apology, because in her heart, she had completely regarded Jiang Yun's matter as her own.

She has also been involved in the matter of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation over the years.

The Eight Paths of Reincarnation have not yet fully occupied all the heavens and myriad realms except for the Heavenly Realm, which makes her feel a little guilty, as if she has not done enough.

"This is normal. Besides, if the Dao Ancestor can't intervene, no matter how the battle between Immortal Kings goes, it won't determine the outcome."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly, not finding it particularly strange.

In fact, he also understood that this matter could not be blamed on Hou Ming.

The reason is simple: Hou Ming is the Dao Ancestor, and it was they who set the rule that the Dao Ancestor could not take action. How could they violate it themselves?
Wouldn't that ruin Jiang Yun's important plans?

"Over the years, have the Dao Ancestors of Heaven broken the rules? Especially that Primordial Dao Ancestor."

Jiang Yun then asked.

"No, he has rarely shown himself in the past ten thousand years, and he doesn't seem to care much about the outcome of the Immortal King War."

Hou Ming replied, "It seems that he has more important things to do. I have heard that even when Dao Ancestors from other great realms came to him, he ignored them."

What is this old guy up to?

Jiang Yun muttered to himself, but didn't pay it any mind; he had more pressing concerns:
"In these years of bloody battles, have any Immortal Kings grown stronger with each battle, reaching new heights and ultimately entering the Dao Ancestor realm?"

Hou Ming and he both knew that this battle of the Immortal Kings was just for training purposes.

Whether it's the heavens or the eight paths of reincarnation, the ultimate goal of this great war is to select a group of capable and battle-hardened individuals, ideally someone who can advance to the Dao Ancestor realm.

"Indeed, a few Immortal Kings performed quite well, winning many battles in the Immortal King Blood War and killing more than one Immortal King from the Heavenly Realm and the surrounding Great World. However, they are still far from the realm of Dao Ancestor."

There are one or two individuals who, given time, might have the opportunity to reach the Dao Ancestor realm.

But right now, it's still far from that point.

Among the eight paths of reincarnation are many Emperor Light Immortal Kings, such as Meng Xie. But the problem is that the Emperor Light Immortal King and the Dao Ancestor realm seem to be only one step apart, but in reality they are worlds apart.

If we break it down further, there should be another realm above the Emperor Light Immortal King, which is like the Myriad Stars Immortal King who had already touched the threshold of the Dao Ancestor.

Above the Myriad Star Immortal King, there should be quasi-Dao Ancestors who have already stepped halfway into the Dao Ancestor realm.

Of course, strictly speaking, they all belong to the level of Emperor Light Immortal King, but in fact, there is still a big difference in their combat power.

Clearly, it is not a simple matter for a Celestial King to advance to the Dao Ancestor realm, even for a Celestial King like Emperor Light.

Thinking back to how difficult it was for me to reach the Dao Ancestor realm and how I fused with 90,000 bloodlines, I can't be too demanding of myself now.

Although somewhat disappointing, it was actually within expectations.

"Then, what about the heavens? Have any Immortal Kings advanced to the Dao Ancestor realm?"

Whether it's the Eight Paths of Reincarnation or the Heavenly Realm, as long as they can advance to the Dao Ancestor realm, then this training will be worthwhile for Jiang Yun. (End of Chapter)
