Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

This kind of attempt to shift blame may be kept secret for a while, but can it be kept secret forever?
The future Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld will naturally know that the information from the source of the Ancient Underworld was leaked from the River of Souls.

To put it mildly, this is shifting the blame eastward; to put it more seriously, it's harming one's neighbors.

Regardless, both the Ancient Underworld and the River of Souls originated from the Strange Clan. Such actions will inevitably incur punishment from the ancestral land, and may even anger powerful figures.

But why did his elder brother Kong Zun still do it?

Could it be that they are truly afraid of the so-called heavens and all worlds?

Naturally not.

There is only one reason for doing this: Kong Zun was certain that such behavior would not incur punishment from the great figures in the ancestral land. On the contrary, it was done with the tacit approval of those great figures.

As for the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld...

He was naturally aware of this matter.

After all, he was the true ruler of the ancient underworld, and it was impossible not to inform him of such an important matter in advance.

Moreover, his cooperation is needed in some matters.

As for why the Netherworld Dao Ancestor would agree to such a self-defeating act, there are naturally reasons.

In Hun Tian's view, one reason was the tacit approval of the great figure on the ancestral land, which prevented the Netherworld Dao Ancestor from saying anything.

Secondly, there may be an even more important reason.

That is, even the Netherworld Dao Ancestor needed the help of outsiders to clean up the ancient underworld.

After all, some people are just too much of an eyesore.

After fighting the chosen one from the ancestral land, he was able to survive and even entered a mysterious state.

What a terrible thing this is, and what an annoying thing this is.

Therefore, it is only natural that the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld would make some choices.

In any case, the ancient underworld has a real foundation and will not collapse.

The only things that collapsed were those detestable beings in the ancient underworld.

For example, the Dao Source that made Hun Tian so embarrassed?
A hint of pleasure flashed in the eyes of the Soul Heaven Dao Ancestor. He looked into the depths of the Sacrifice Sea, as if he could see directly to the source of the ancient underworld.

He couldn't wait to see the real show begin.

At the source of the ancient underworld, in the Houming Daoist Temple, Jiang Yun, completely unaware that he had been tricked by others, was still immersed in his fellow cultivation with Houming.

The path of cultivation knows no time. This is especially true for the Dao Ancestor. Often, a single seclusion or a period of fellow cultivation can take tens of thousands of years, and time flows by unnoticed.

Beside them, the flames of hell and the flames of reincarnation collided yet blended together, and between the two, a brand new flame of the Great Dao rose up.

However, that kind of Great Dao Fire seemed too defiant to exist, and could only exist as a faint phantom, unable to truly descend.

Even in its illusory form, it was incredibly terrifying, as if it could burn down all the heavens and myriad realms. Even the chaotic void had to yield to the illusory form, as if it feared its existence.

In addition, within this secret realm where the two cultivate together, all sorts of indescribable wonders unfold.

Some immortals are born from flames and fight each other in the chaos, while some peerless demon gods devour the most primal power between heaven and earth.

They wanted to cultivate using the two great flames, but were ultimately annihilated by a single thought from one of the two people.

It's all because the two are simply too powerful; the existence of these two Great Dao Flames goes against normal reason.

Not to mention, Hou Ming and Jiang Yun, two of the most powerful Dao Ancestors, each time they cultivate, they bring their own insights, which arouse the primordial laws of chaos in the four directions of heaven and earth, which is why such a spectacle exists.

Ordinary Dao Ancestors would not cultivate in such a way, and this scene lasted for ten or twenty thousand years before finally disappearing as the two opened their eyes.

At the same time, the already infinitely subtle Dao scars on Hou Ming's primordial spirit finally disappeared completely with a burst of light.

That was a scar left from when she tried to help Jiang Yun but was flicked away by a finger. It had been almost completely healed before, but now it has finally disappeared completely.

"Brother Yun, my injuries are finally completely healed..."

Hou Ming's face showed a hint of joy. In this era of turmoil and constant conflict, being able to return to his peak condition and have more means of self-protection was something that nothing could compare to.

"Congratulations, Sister Houming."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "In any case, this is indeed something to celebrate."

“It’s just that your situation is a bit complicated, Brother Yun. These few times of fellow practitioners haven’t seemed to have much effect on you.”

Hou Ming sighed, her voice tinged with regret. She was genuinely concerned for Jiang Yun, as the pressure Jiang Yun faced was no less than hers, and perhaps even greater.

Jiang Yun remained silent for a moment before continuing, "As long as I don't leave this ancient underworld, there will naturally be no problem."

Previously, Houming mentioned that the heavens and the heavens had locked onto the ancient underworld and might start a war with it at any time. Once the war started, naturally none of the Dao Ancestors of the ancient underworld could escape.

Therefore, Jiang Yun will inevitably be involved, and Hou Ming will naturally worry that Jiang Yun will have problems in this state.

Although Jiang Yun was very powerful when he made his move in the past, he was ultimately caught off guard. A Dao Ancestor who cannot fully unleash his Dao Ancestor powers is inherently fatally weak.

In particular, so many years have passed, and the truth about Jiang Yun must have already spread, since the Soul River also knows about this matter.

In this situation, if Jiang Yun were to face a Dao Ancestor who knew his weaknesses, he would likely face serious trouble. How could Hou Ming not be worried?

"In addition, during my travels, I also found some methods to repair my primordial spirit and soul, so Sister Houming, you don't need to worry about me."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun added that he didn't want Hou Ming to worry. He originally wanted to tell Hou Ming directly that he had mastered how to use the Soul River Water, but that wouldn't make sense, so he could only say it vaguely.

After saying this, he chatted with Hou Ming for a while, analyzing the current situation. Then, he left Hou Ming's dojo and returned to his own. Immediately afterwards, he took out the remaining Soul River water and, following the method instructed by the God Emperor, began to nourish his primordial spirit with it.

This time, he was more skilled at using the Soul River water. Under his precise control, every drop of Soul River water transformed into its most primordial form, directly nourishing his primordial spirit.

It is visible to the naked eye that the wounds on his primordial spirit are slowly fading away. Although the process is difficult, it has indeed yielded results. Given time, his primordial spirit is expected to be truly repaired.

Even the Great Dao wounds on his physical body showed signs of further improvement. It could be said that all he needed now was time.

However, time waits for no one. Before five thousand years had passed since he used the water of the River of Souls to repair his primordial spirit in his own dojo, another incident occurred in the underworld.

A whisk from the sacrificial sea precisely located the source of the ancient underworld in the vast void of the sacrificial sea. Then it tore through the sacrificial sea, stirring up endless blood-red waves, carrying terrifying killing intent, and directly broke through the barrier of the source of the ancient underworld.

"who?"

Many Dao Ancestors from ancient underworlds were shaken by this terrifying attack and ended their seclusion, leaving their Daoist temples. Jiang Yun was no exception.

Sensing the aura emanating from the whisk, his expression changed slightly, and he went directly to where the whisk was.

At this moment, the whisk had been subdued in the palm of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor, leaving him unable to advance or retreat. However, none of the ancient Netherworld Dao Ancestors who witnessed this scene had a pleasant expression.

Because of the presence of that whisk, it was clear that the ancient underworld had been exposed in the sacrificial sea. This attack was merely the enemy's initial probe.

"It is the Dao Ancestor of Heaven. If I am not mistaken, it should be a magical artifact crafted by the Primordial Dao Ancestor, who has been very active in the last few hundred thousand years..."

Looking at the questioning gazes of the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld, the Netherworld Dao Ancestor calmly spoke, and then looked at Jiang Yun as he spoke.

"Daoyuan, you should be quite familiar with him, right?"

Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't figure out what the Netherworld Dao Ancestor meant by saying this at this time, so after thinking about it, he nodded.

"Indeed, we've dealt with each other before."

It's not just that they've had dealings; back when the Eight Paths of Reincarnation were expanding across the worlds of the heavens using the Wheel of Reincarnation, the main obstacle came from the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

Not to mention, there were also life-or-death battles between Immortal Kings, and even the great battle between Jiang Yun and Emperor Yi, in which the Primordial Dao Ancestor was present.

It can be said that in an era when the Immortal Emperors generally did not personally intervene, this Primordial Dao Ancestor basically represented the heavens. Not only Jiang Yun, but all the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld who were relatively active in this sacrificial ceremony had dealt with this Primordial Dao Ancestor.

"This whisk was made by the Primordial Dao Ancestor, so it shouldn't be wrong. And his attack is undoubtedly a declaration of war against my Ancient Underworld."

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor did not press Jiang Yun further. Instead, he stared thoughtfully at the whisk in his hand. Finally, his voice became incredibly cold and chilling, carrying boundless icy intent, and he said directly:

“The ancestral land has a decree that the ancient underworld must not emerge and can only shrink. Now that the enemy has come to our door, we have no other choice but to fight back.”

This is a natural principle. Even if some of the ancient underworld patriarchs present had other ideas, they would never hesitate on such a matter of principle.

However, there are now fewer than ten Dao Ancestors left in the Ancient Underworld. This Sacrifice Primordial has been supporting the desperate battles above the heavens and the Land of Abandoned Heaven. In the end, even Blood River, Azure Cloud, and Wind Mountain went up to fight, and they have not returned yet.

The ancient underworld is currently in a period of transition, and while it is not afraid of going to war with the heavens, it cannot be said that it is guaranteed to win.

This situation infuriated the Dao Ancestors of the Ancient Underworld.

When did the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld come to face such a situation? However, the situation is beyond their control, and no matter how angry they are, they are powerless to change the current situation.

"I accept this declaration of war. No matter when the enemy attacks, my Ancient Underworld will be ready to fight them to the bitter end!"

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor seemed to have become truly enraged, speaking in an icy voice. Then, it was the Dao Ancestor beside him who reminded him:
“Ancestor of the Underworld, this is a serious matter. Shouldn’t we report this to the ancestral land? Perhaps…”

He didn't say everything, but everyone understood what he meant.

Perhaps we can ask people from our ancestral homeland to come and help!

But the Netherworld Dao Ancestor shook his head in the end. He did have to report to the ancestral land, but he knew that there was absolutely no way anyone from the ancestral land would come to help.

The Desolate Emperor is blocking the entrance to the ancestral land and fighting fiercely with the progenitor. Under such circumstances, how could the ancestral land possibly spare any resources to support other places?
In particular, the Netherworld Dao Ancestor clearly knew that the followers of the Desolate Heaven Emperor had the upper hand in the Heavenly Realm and the Land of Abandoned Heaven, and could break through the barriers at any time to rush to the ancestral land to support the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

"Ancestral land..."

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor uttered only these two words before turning and leaving. The other Ancient Underworld Dao Ancestors followed suit and returned to their respective Dao temples.

However, Shi Yi, the one with double pupils, and the Ten-Crown King, taking advantage of the other Dao Ancestors' inattention, followed Jiang Yun into Jiang Yun's Daoist temple.

"Heavens, why are they waging war against the Ancient Underworld? Not long ago, their target was the River of Souls."

The man with double pupils, Shi Yi, asked with some confusion. His eyes exuded an aura of creation, and his cultivation was even more advanced. Judging from his aura, he could be considered a powerful figure even at the Dao Ancestor level.

"Moreover, do you think the Celestial Emperor on the other side of Heaven doesn't know our true situation?"

Beside Shi Yi, the man with double pupils, the Ten-Crown Emperor also felt somewhat puzzled.

The Desolate Heaven Emperor knew best about the situations of Shi Yi (who had double pupils) and Jiang Yun. Since the Desolate Heaven Emperor knew, he would naturally also inform the two Immortal Emperors of Heaven, Meng Hai and Luo Tian.

Otherwise, if those two Immortal Emperors, unaware of the situation, were to directly kill the three of them, the trouble would be immense. Therefore, to avoid such a situation, the Desolate Heaven Emperor would definitely let those two Celestial Emperors know, or at least hint at it.

In this situation, why would Heaven choose to wage war against the Ancient Underworld? The three of them were clearly lurking within the Ancient Underworld.

How can the three of them cope if war breaks out under these circumstances?
Jiang Yun, in particular, is still in this situation today.

"Perhaps things are not as bad as we think, and even if war breaks out, it won't start now."

Moreover, by then, we will not necessarily engage in a life-or-death debate with the Dao Ancestor of Heaven.

Jiang Yun knew very well that the two Celestial Emperors of Heaven couldn't possibly be unaware of the true identities of the three of them.

In this situation, even if Heaven were to intervene against the ancient underworld, it doesn't necessarily mean the three of them would face a truly dire predicament. (End of Chapter)
