Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

On the Ecuadorian Plateau, deep within our ancestral lands.

At the end of the last sacrificial cycle, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor advanced to the Sacrificial Dao realm and led the ancient Heavenly Court's forces in a great war against the ancestral land. After hundreds of thousands of years, they were ultimately defeated.

The ancestors also paid an unimaginable price. Under the final sword strike of the Desolate Emperor, they had no choice but to recuperate. During this time, with the help of the ancestral land, some were revived, but others were completely and silently annihilated and ultimately perished.

The ancestral land is not a place where all the fallen can be resurrected. The final blow from the Desolate Emperor broke the tradition of the ancestral land and alarmed many ancestors. Fortunately, they launched a great sacrifice and replenished the number of ancestors from among those Immortal Emperors.

All of this was done in secret. Although there were countless races on the ancestral land, most of them fell into slumber after the extinction of a sacrificial ancestor. Therefore, even after millions of years, one might not see a single living being on the vast ancestral land.

This place was silent and peaceful, like a completely dead world. But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed. An ancestor was awakened from the deepest dream and looked out of the ancestral land to the deepest part of the sacrificial sea world.

He sensed that something unimaginable had happened on the ancestral altar!

"Is...it really true?"

"That being whose very existence is uncertain, even if we extrapolate through countless ages and search through all the heavens and myriad realms, we cannot find a trace of it; it exists only in theoretical calculations..."

The fact that even this progenitor could utter such a surprised and uncertain sound shows just how shocking it must have been for him.

Beside him, deep within the ancestral land, another ancestor awakened from a long dream spanning hundreds of thousands of years, also sensing the changes occurring on the ancestral altar deep within the sea of ​​sacrifice.

"That being actually exists; it wasn't just a figment of our imagination..."

"Why did it revive during this grand ceremony...?"

"We actually missed it. It was a change that happened in an instant. That being only manifested vaguely for a fleeting moment that was imperceptible to us..."

Beside the two progenitors, one after another, progenitors revived, casting their gazes into the depths of the sacrificial sea. Then, their voices became increasingly unbelievable.

"What's missed is missed... Perhaps it was just some kind of illusion..."

"I still can't believe that such a creature really exists in this world..."

"Is our ancestral land warning us, or is there some other reason?"

One colossal figure after another revived. These were the ultimate beings beyond the level of Immortal Emperors, beings that could freeze time and space throughout the past, present, and future. They had been trapped in the Sacrifice Dao realm for countless years, unable to see the road ahead or find a way to advance.

Behind them, one after another, strange Immortal Emperors also revived, and then cast their gazes into the depths of the Sacrifice Sea. These Immortal Emperors were all trembling, with intense unease in their hearts.

They immediately communicated with the strange Dao Ancestors who remained on the ancestral altar using their divine senses, but those strange Dao Ancestors were completely unaware of what had happened.

The blurry figure of that being appeared was completely undetectable to the Dao Ancestor of the Strange Clan. Even they, if not for the revival of the Primordial Ancestor, would not have been revived.

They seriously doubted that they were hallucinating. According to the old tradition, the great sacrifice was for a being that had transcended the realm of sacrificial rites, and even the progenitor could not be certain whether such a being existed.

In the eyes of the group of strange immortal emperors, such a being could not possibly exist.

In their view, the progenitor of the sacrificial realm should be the final point of the cultivation path. There is no way that any living being could be above them. They have no possibility of advancing any further. The grand sacrifice has been launched countless times, but it is more of a fixed ritual, or rather, a kind of mechanical obsession of the progenitor.

But at this moment, many strange immortal emperors sensed a glimpse of the truth. Perhaps the being that even the progenitors debated and deduced for countless years could not be determined was real. After countless years of great sacrifices, after countless bloodbaths throughout the world and countless universes, a blurry figure was finally reflected on the ancestral altar.

But it was fleeting. Nevertheless, this seemed to mean that the deductions of many ancestors were not mere conjecture, but real existences. The thought of such beings made even the strange Immortal Emperor afraid and dreadful.

"Even if such a being once existed, he is already dead and cannot be resurrected."

"We are situated on our ancestral land, with the entire Edo Plateau providing us with boundless power. Countless great worlds have fallen beneath our feet. Even if we are beings as stunning as the Pollen Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor, what then? In the end, we will live on forever."

One of the ancestors continued to speak. He never believed in the existence of that being. He thought that other ancestors had stood at the invincible realm of sacrificial rites for too long. When they could not obtain what they desired, they developed a certain obsession in their hearts, which led to the creation of such a being.

"No, he really exists..."

An ancestor spoke, his expression solemn. He had existed since the time of the birth of the ancestral land and had faced the most terrifying blood battles. In the years before, he had never spoken. He didn't even know how many sacrificial spirits had not been revived. But now he was also alarmed.

Finally, he made the following judgment:

"Perhaps he was the owner of the Three-Life Coffin, and the source of all ancestral artifacts. The Etu Plateau, the entire ancestral land, exists because of him, and the ancient lands of origin in all directions are also places he once walked..."

In the most ancient times, this ancestor studied all the things mentioned above, but ultimately gained nothing. In the end, he allowed the Three Generations Bronze Coffin and other ancestral artifacts to be passed down outside the ancestral land. He wanted to use this to conduct an experiment to see if there would be any other changes, but in the end, he was disappointed.

That happened in an incredibly ancient era. This ancestor, along with other ancestors, forcibly captured a being born in an ancient time and space at the Sacrifice Dao realm. Then, relying on the power of the ancestral land, they conducted various experiments on him. Finally, they even divided his flesh and bones into several pieces and placed them inside the ancestral artifact using a secret method.

But one sacrificial eon after another passed, and eventually even beings at the Dao of Sacrifice could not withstand the power of time. Their flesh and bones dissipated, but the ancestral artifact did not undergo the changes the Ancestor desired. In the end, the Ancestor stopped caring and fell into eternal slumber.

Even when the Pollen Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor attacked the ancestral land, this ancient ancestor did not revive. But today, it has been revived due to the changes that occurred at the ancestral altar. One can imagine what a remarkable thing this is.

“Perhaps our experiment should continue…” “The Grand Sacrifice is still useful! It does require cultivating a sufficient number of living beings for continuous sacrifices to be effective!”

"This current Desolate Heavenly Emperor is quite good! Hmm, the future Sacred Emperor, that powerful figure wielding the great cauldron, is also quite impressive..."

"Besides beings at the Sacrifice Dao realm, we also need a sufficient number of beings at the Immortal Emperor level, and naturally, the more beings below that level, the better..."

The ancestors were all speculating, and eventually came to this vague conclusion. They all wanted to know what happened on the ancestral altar, but it was too mysterious for them to fully deduce.

Their attention was entirely focused on whether such a being truly existed, and they were completely unaware that, in the meantime, a daring Dao Ancestor had secretly hidden himself on the ancestral altar.

Indeed, it's no wonder that the Immortal Emperors and Ancestors of the ancestral lands didn't notice him, because all the worlds in the heavens had been sacrificed with blood, and the Dao Ancestors of their opposing camps had all died. Even if they hadn't died, could a Dao Ancestor have done such a thing?
No one would think in this direction. Even if the Immortal Emperor or the Desolate Heaven Emperor were resurrected, they probably wouldn't be able to cause such a change.

Therefore, they instinctively believed that the grand sacrifice of countless sacrificial spirits had finally taken effect. As for why it was revived in this particular sacrificial spirit, they had no idea. But as long as they were certain that the grand sacrifice had worked and that the being truly existed, then everything was worthwhile.

Ultimately, they made a decision.

Accelerate the process of this sacrificial revival, release the best spring seedlings in reserve, and then wait until the end of the sacrificial period to launch another grand sacrifice and see if that creature will reappear in a blurry form.

After countless ages, they did not witness this manifestation, which greatly saddened even the progenitors.

They don't need to descend in their true forms, because once they reach the Sacrifice Dao realm, they can travel to the depths of the entire Sacrifice Sea with a single thought. Whether their true forms reach the ancestral altar or not is irrelevant.

That's why they made this decision: when the new sacrificial period ends, they will all go out together and descend upon the ancestral altar!

Meanwhile, on the ancestral altar, Jiang Yun remained hidden inside a stone jar. He instinctively sensed countless terrifying gazes sweeping over the area, some of whom seemed to be at a level beyond the Immortal Emperor realm.

Could it be that even the progenitor has been resurrected?
He didn't know what was happening in the outside world, but he vaguely guessed part of the truth. Even after a long time had passed, he dared not leave the stone jar.

At this moment, he could only hide inside the stone jar and let it wander in the void.

He seriously suspected that he had gotten himself into a huge mess, and now all the strongest people in the ancestral land were watching him, and they might descend in their true forms at any time.

Fortunately, the stone jar was special; it was a true ancestral artifact that could conceal all the secrets of heaven, thus giving him a glimmer of hope.

For nearly ten thousand years after that, he dared not show his face, focusing all his attention on cultivating inside the stone jar. The stone jar, in its natural state, floated and sank in the sacrificial sea, eventually drifting away from the ancestral altar. Unbeknownst to everyone, it seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, silently floating onto an ancient road.

At this moment, the stone jar glowed on its own, as if it had been attracted by something, and Jiang Yun was also awakened, cautiously extending a divine sense to explore the surroundings.

Then, when he realized where the stone jar was, he was stunned, because he was very familiar with this place, which was the oldest cycle of reincarnation in the ancient underworld.

At this moment, this oldest cycle of reincarnation is glowing, and countless beings perish here, each turning into a firefly-like speck of light. The stone jar glows on its own because it is attracted by these specks of light.

After confirming that there were no traps here, Jiang Yun carefully left the stone jar. Then, looking at the countless points of light on the path of reincarnation, he looked back at the stone jar.

"Does the stone jar possess a spirit? Are you recording everything that is going through cycles in this world?"

He asked thoughtfully.

However, the stone jar was ignorant; it was more of an instinctive record, searching for places that person had once been, but it had no intelligence of its own to respond to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun didn't really expect the stone jar to respond to him. He stood on this oldest path of reincarnation and began to carefully perceive it.

This place is not far from the source of the ancient underworld, but he did not return to his own dojo from here, nor did he go to find Houming. Instead, he used his senses to quickly find the followers of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation who were active in this vicinity.

Then, he descended directly before this powerful Immortal King. Although the Immortal King had not seen his true form for countless millennia, he still reacted at this moment and tremblingly kowtowed to him to pay his respects.

However, Jiang Yun did not communicate with him at all, but directly invaded his sea of ​​consciousness. In just a moment, he obtained the information he wanted.

The events of ten thousand years ago indeed caused a tremendous change. The changes on the ancestral altar were also noticed on the ancestral land. However, it was unclear whether the cause was truly the same. But one thing was certain.

After that, the ancestral land began to release spring seedlings directly into the countless worlds of the heavens and the sea of ​​sacrifice. Some of the spring seedlings were so good that even the immortal king who had lived for an era was shocked. Before being released, these spring seedlings had their memories wiped clean and knew nothing about the world.

Of course, strict orders also came from the ancestral land: spring plowing had just begun, and anyone who dared to kill the seedlings would be punished most severely by the ancestral land.

Not only the Dao Ancestor from the ancestral land, but all living beings from the four ancient origin lands received such a warning. As a result, the followers of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, without Jiang Yun's guidance, also confirmed that the great purge of the last sacrificial cycle had completely ended and a new sacrificial cycle had begun.

Therefore, these immortal kings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation dared to come out and carry out activities. Some of them were ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the spring seedlings had not yet truly grown and could not discover the secrets of the world, so they went to different great worlds to explore and search for the relics that the previous sacrificial powerhouses might have left behind.

Although they knew very well that they were unlikely to gain anything, after being dormant for countless years, they still couldn't help but take action. In addition, some of the Immortal Kings, such as the one Jiang Yun encountered, sensed the flickering soul light of countless beings on the Ancient Cycle of Reincarnation and also had other thoughts.

This Celestial King sought to collect the souls of those who perished in the previous sacrificial battle to forge his Celestial King artifact. This led him further and further down the ancient cycle of reincarnation, until he was encountered by Jiang Yun here. (End of Chapter)
