Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

"There's no need to worry too much. Even though the Heavenly Realms have listed the Ancient Underworld as their primary target, it has been shrinking over the years. It won't be easy for them to lock onto us."

Hou Ming wasn't too bothered by why the various realms of the heavens were heading towards the ancient underworld; for her, that wasn't a problem at all.

Over the years, as a true giant of the ancient underworld, she had fought against countless enemies. Even though the situation was obviously more difficult this time, she did not feel that she had truly reached the point of despair.

In comparison, she was more concerned about Jiang Yun's condition.

“Brother Yun, your primordial spirit is still covered with wounds from the Great Dao, and there are also wisps of sword light entangled in it. In this situation, Brother Yun, why don’t you just move to my Daoist temple? What do you say?”

Jiang Yun looked at Hou Ming and saw a hint of worry on the latter's aloof and stunning face. After a moment's thought, he understood what Hou Ming meant.

She was worried that if the heavens and the worlds really found the ancient underworld and started a war, her current situation might be in serious trouble.

In particular, considering that he had made quite a splash in his past battle with Emperor Yi, even though he was now "half-crippled," he would probably still attract the attention of many Dao Ancestors.

After all, since he returned to the ancient underworld, as time has passed, most of the worlds in the heavens have already learned of his return.

The reason there was no news was entirely because the commotion caused by the Desolate Emperor's declaration of war on the ancestral land was too great.

After all, compared to the bloody battles above the heavens and the lands of the forsaken, or the shrinking of the ancient lands of origin in all directions, he himself did not seem so important.

In particular, considering that he was already "half-crippled," if those Dao Ancestors from all the worlds of the heavens really came knocking on his door, especially those he had grudges against in the past, they would probably attack him immediately.

Now, even Jiang Yun himself is unsure whether the other worlds know about his situation, but it's probably not a secret.

After all, even a Celestial King from the Soul River knew about the Divine Emperor, and the Soul River had been closely involved with the various realms of the heavens during this period. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that news of his return to the Ancient Underworld and even his "half-crippled" state had spread.

"They couldn't possibly be coming straight for me, could they?"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but think this to himself, then shook his head, feeling that it was somewhat unlikely.

Little did he know that the Primordial Dao Ancestor and his most beloved disciple, Wan Xing, were pursuing the ancient underworld at all costs precisely because of him.

For this reason, countless followers of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation were killed, but from these people, at most only a trace of the cycle of reincarnation could be found, but the true location of the ancient underworld could not be traced at all.

As for all of this, the two Immortal Emperors, Meng Hai and Luo Tianxian, paid no attention to it. Their main focus was still on the land above the heavens, the land abandoned by the heavens.

While it cannot be said that the Primordial Dao Ancestor has the final say on the affairs of the heavens and the worlds, at the very least, his words carry considerable weight.

"Let's not worry about those things. If the world really collapses, I will naturally come to Sister Houming's dojo. Right now, fellow practitioners are the most important thing."

“After the last time we practiced together, I vaguely felt that the wounds on my body had eased. This time, the practice might have unexpected effects as well.”

As Jiang Yun spoke, he sat down cross-legged, and the flames of reincarnation rose from his body.

Upon hearing this, Hou Ming nodded and stopped thinking about those other matters. Instead, he released the Hellfire.

The next moment, the two great flames collided directly, and Houming's dojo fell silent once again.

The boundless sea surged with blood-red waves, and countless great worlds rose and fell, yet they were nothing but bubbles.

It's all because the sea sacrifice is so vast, and every bubble and every drop of water in the sea sacrifice represents a once incomparably glorious world.

Unfortunately, even the greatest past has its end. In the face of the bizarre race, the glorious civilization could only fade into obscurity, and even caused irreversible problems for the entire evolutionary civilization.

It can only be said that the strength of the Weird race is simply too great. Not to mention their ancestral land, just the four ancient origin lands alone have destroyed countless brilliant evolutionary civilizations and triggered countless cycles of sacrificial rites.

However, in this lifetime, the situation seems to be different. The Dao Ancestors of all ages have launched a powerful attack, while the four ancient lands of origin have been forced to shrink back.

However, for the four ancient origin lands, especially the Soul River Ancient Underworld, whose influence once spread throughout the entire Sacrifice Sea, shrinking their influence is no easy task.
Moreover, the Soul River has developed numerous sub-networks throughout the myriad worlds of the heavens.

In particular, the traitor of the Three Tribulation Sparrow clan not long ago attracted the full force of the heavens to hunt him down. In the end, even the Three Tribulation Sparrow Ancestor, who was at the Dao Ancestor level, was turned into ashes. Only a very small number of Three Tribulation Sparrows escaped into the River of Souls.

However, in their haste, they left behind many clues that were discovered by the heavens. Among them, a tributary of the River of Souls was directly exposed to the heavens.

On this day, the Primordial Dao Ancestor personally led his disciples to set out and head straight for this tributary of the Soul River.

In the end, the battle was without any suspense. None of the Dao Ancestors of the Soul River stayed behind to guard this tributary. Instead, they all retreated to the source of the Soul River. Since there were no Dao Ancestors here, what difference was there between those strange Immortal Kings and ants in front of the Primordial Dao Ancestor?
However, the one who killed the most strange immortal kings today was not the Primordial Dao Ancestor, but his disciple, Wan Xing.

A tributary of the Soul River, it is unknown how many strange Immortal Kings there are, including beings like the Emperor Light Immortal King.

And yet, without even lifting a finger, the Primordial Dao Ancestor was wiped out by Wan Xing alone. So much so that, in the end, seeing Wan Xing so engrossed in the killing, the Primordial Dao Ancestor had no choice but to speak up:

"Wanxing, don't kill them all. Leave a few alive to find out the whereabouts of the Soul River and other ancient origin lands."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xing remained silent for a moment. Just as the remaining strange immortal kings thought they had escaped death and were about to secretly rejoice, Wan Xing once again made a ruthless move.

After killing many strange immortal kings in succession, in the end, only one strange immortal king, whose cultivation level was half a level higher than that of Emperor Light Immortal King and who could be called a half-step Dao Ancestor, survived by chance.

Then, the two fought a great battle, but the strange Immortal King, whose realm had reached the half-step Dao Ancestor level, was no match for Wan Xing at all. In just a moment, he was completely suppressed by Wan Xing. And it was at this moment that the Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke again:

"Ten Thousand Stars!"

Upon hearing these words tinged with anger, Wan Xing barely managed to stop his killing spree. Then, the Primordial Dao Ancestor waved his sleeves and put away the strange Immortal King. Only then did he look at Wan Xing, his tone slightly softening: "Wan Xing, your master knows that you have demonic obstacles in your heart, but you cannot build something new without breaking through them. You are already better than when you were at your peak. Given time, you will surely be able to step into the Dao Ancestor realm."

"On the contrary, if you are hindered by the demons in your heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through to the Dao Ancestor realm by the end of this sacrificial ceremony."

Wan Xing nodded upon hearing this.

He knew perfectly well that his master's words made sense, but after remaining silent for a long time, he finally spoke:
“Master, but how can I break through to the Dao Ancestor realm if my inner demons have not been eliminated?”

As Wan Xing spoke, a figure involuntarily appeared in his eyes, and then, endless hatred burned within him.

Seeing his disciple like this, how could the Primordial Dao Ancestor not know who the inner demon he was talking about was?

In the past, his disciple made great strides and broke many records of his predecessors. However, just when Wan Xingzhi was satisfied and about to take the crucial step of becoming a Dao Ancestor, he encountered the Dao Source in the ancient underworld.

Although Dao Yuan did not kill him directly, it was more serious than killing him, because Dao Yuan directly caused his cultivation level to drop. For a conceited genius who had always had everything go smoothly, this was a truly terrifying blow.

Fortunately, many tens of thousands of years have passed, and Wanxing has finally returned to this realm. It can even be said that he is now infinitely close to the Dao Ancestor realm and can be called a Quasi-Dao Ancestor.

Although there is only a one-word difference between Quasi-Dao Ancestor and Dao Ancestor, they are actually worlds apart. For a genius like Wan Xing, it is not entirely hopeless to overcome this gap.

Of course, the premise is that he must overcome his inner demons; otherwise, he will never be able to become a true Dao Ancestor if his inner demons are not eliminated.

"We have already killed many of the followers of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation. We have also visited several of the paths of reincarnation in the ancient underworld. Although there are still reincarnation slaves inside, we cannot find any information about the true source of the ancient underworld."

"But we've captured such a survivor today; perhaps we can find information about the River of Souls..."

As the Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke these words, he began to search the soul directly, using the most violent means to invade the primordial spirit of the eerie Immortal King.

A moment later, a strange look appeared on his face, and then he couldn't help but look at Wan Xing with a puzzled expression.

"Master, have you found no information about the Soul River? It seems that in the eyes of the Soul River Dao Ancestor, such creatures are nothing more than discarded pawns, so it's understandable that they don't know any clues about the source of the Soul River..."

The other disciples offered words of comfort, but Wan Xing remained silent. However, the next sentence from the Primordial Dao Ancestor immediately shook him.

"We haven't found any clues to the source of the River of Souls, but within the primordial spirit of this half-step Dao Ancestor, there are clues to the source of the ancient underworld..."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xing immediately appeared before the Primordial Dao Ancestor, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit. The Primordial Dao Ancestor, however, frowned in response.
"How could the subordinates of the Soul River have clues about the source of the ancient underworld?"

Upon hearing this, the other disciples of the Primordial Dao Ancestor also sensed that something was amiss. The four ancient origin lands were practically estranged, if not completely cut off from each other. Even if there was any contact, it should have been between beings at the Dao Ancestor level.

How could a Celestial King, at most a Quasi-Dao Ancestor, possibly know the origin of the ancient underworld?

Could there be a trap here?
"Go and investigate; you'll find out the truth soon enough!"

Compared to the other disciples, the Myriad Star Immortal King spoke directly, and then looked eagerly at his master, the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

The Primordial Dao Ancestor frowned slightly. He had a feeling that something was wrong. If the Immortal King of the Soul River knew the location of the cycle of reincarnation in the ancient underworld, it wouldn't be too surprising.

After all, the cycle of reincarnation used to be spread throughout the entire Sacrifice Sea, and even the worlds surrounding the heavens and the eight paths of reincarnation had its presence. But if the Immortal King of the Soul River knew the true source of the ancient underworld, that would be truly unbelievable.

"There may be something fishy about this matter. Even if this clue is true, the ancient underworld has stood in the sea of ​​sacrifice for countless years, with one sacrificial emperor after another rising and falling, yet it has always stood firm. It must have a profound foundation."

After thinking for a moment, the Primordial Dao Ancestor continued:

"Even if we really want to attack the ancient underworld, we must return to the heavens and gather many Dao Ancestors to discuss it. Of course, we must also ask for the opinions of the two Immortal Emperors before we can make a decision."

His words were mature and cautious, but seeing the disappointment in Wan Xing's eyes, he couldn't bear it any longer and continued:

“Wanxing, you are now only one step away from becoming a Dao Ancestor. If you can really determine the location of the Ancient Underworld, and the two Immortal Emperors agree to Heaven’s plan to open up the Ancient Underworld, then you will naturally have the opportunity to fight a bloody battle.”

As the Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke, he directly used his Dao Ancestor Divine Power to collect the tributary of the Soul River. After that, the Primordial Dao Ancestor and his disciples disappeared from the scene. After a moment of silence, Wan Xing finally chose to follow.

After they left, two drops of Soul River water suddenly appeared in the vast emptiness of the Sacrifice Sea. Immediately afterwards, the two drops of Soul River water transformed into two Dao Ancestors. One of them was none other than Soul Heaven Dao Ancestor, who had fought with Jiang Yun in the past.

Needless to say, although the identity of the other person is uncertain, the one standing next to him must also be the Soul River Dao Ancestor.

"Brother Dao's move is brilliant. By sacrificing a few insignificant ants, you have diverted the trouble to the ancient underworld. Your methods are truly superb."

The unknown Soul River Dao Ancestor spoke, his words filled with praise for Soul Heaven Dao Ancestor.

In his view, the pressure on the Soul River is now too great. The fact that it had taken in many traitors from the various worlds of the heavens, including the Three Tribulations Sparrow, has made the Soul River a thorn in the side of the various worlds of the heavens.

In this way, the trouble will be diverted eastward, and at the very least, the pressure on the Soul River will be greatly reduced.

"I wonder how the Netherworld Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld will deal with this. I'm afraid he hasn't realized that the coordinates of the Ancient Underworld's origin have already been exposed..."

He had also heard that the most powerful person in the ancient underworld was the one who controlled the Netherworld Ancestor and was the true ruler of the underworld.

Soul Heaven Dao Ancestor looked at him, unable to speak, but a voice echoed in his mind:

"Do you really think that the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld doesn't know?" (End of Chapter)
