I am asking the Ancestor to ascend to heaven in the world of "Covering the Sky".

Over here, Ji Lingyun also ran into some "acquaintances".

"Peak of the Half-Saint realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Saint realm. Hmm, very good!"

Ji Lingyun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the innate Dao embryo before him with an expression of admiration on his face.

He was quite satisfied with Zixia's cultivation progress.

The Innate Dao Embryo is one of the top-tier physiques in the world of "Covering the Sky." It is a fusion of innate nature and the Great Dao, and the power that the Dao Embryo can unleash becomes stronger as time goes on.

Especially after reaching the Saint Realm, his power becomes unpredictable, almost comparable to that of a Saint Body.

"Brother Lingyun, you really came. It's been twenty years since we last met. You went back to the Ji family, but you didn't even come to visit us."

Zixia was pleased with Ji Lingyun's praise, but also somewhat dissatisfied.

She wore a purple dress, her figure was graceful, and her beauty was no less than that of Yi Qingwu. Moreover, her whole body was surrounded by a faint purple glow, filled with the aura of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, mysterious and unpredictable.

Ji Lingyun could only helplessly touch his nose and laugh, "Who would have thought that back then..."

"Stop talking!"

Zixia blushed and immediately covered Ji Lingyun's mouth with her hand.

When she first traveled to the Eastern Wilderness, she encountered a lecherous old man picking flowers, so she stepped forward to help him.

As a result, she overestimated her strength, and Zixia fell into the hands of the lecherous old man, almost being sexually assaulted.

Chapter 135 Ancient Giants

In the end, it was the old trope of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress: Ji Lingyun descended from the sky and saved Zixia, whose spring had just been exposed.

This rescue left a lasting impression of Ji Lingyun on Zixia's heart.

At that time, Ji Lingyun was only focused on becoming stronger, and Zixia was just a little girl who hadn't even developed yet, so he had no interest in her.

In order to hunt down that lecherous old man, Ji Lingyun could only deceive Zixia, saying that he would definitely visit her in the future.

However, Zixia was not so easily fooled. The two of them chased after the flower thief for three months before finally killing him.

This was also the first time Ji Lingyun had achieved genius-level cultivation.

Then it was the usual routine: Zixia had feelings for Ji Lingyun, but Ji Lingyun wasn't in the mood for romance for the time being. After killing the lecherous thief with Zixia, they parted ways.

This is also why Zixia never forgot Ji Lingyun.

How dare he lie to her?

"Oh, you guys are here too. Looks like we're in luck."

Seeing that Zixia seemed somewhat dissatisfied, Ji Lingyun quickly changed the subject.

Behind Zixia were Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman, the two ruthless inheritors of demonic arts, a male and female duo, who had also arrived at the Yaochi Grand Gathering.

When they saw Ji Lingyun, they were all very surprised.

At first, they did not notice that Ji Lingyun had changed her appearance. It was only after the latter revealed her original aura that they realized it and were all shocked.

"Many years have passed since we last met, and Brother Ji has become even more unfathomable. Yunfei is truly impressed!"

The immortal Hua Yunfei, with his handsome face and ethereal demeanor, gazed at Ji Lingyun and couldn't help but sigh.

He had chased after Ji Lingyun back then, but Ji Lingyun subdued him in no time.

If Ji Lingyun hadn't had no intention of killing him, Hua Yunfei would probably no longer exist.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingyun smiled faintly and shook his head: "Brother Yunfei, there's no need to be so sad. We are different. As for you, you have mastered the demonic arts, found your true self, and finally broken free from the shackles of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Arts. Your future potential is unimaginable. Congratulations!"

"Of course, there's also Xiaoman. When you and Brother Yunfei join forces, your combat power will double. Even when facing ordinary ancient royal descendants, you'll be able to put up a fight."

Hua Yunfei also changed a lot after his battle with Ji Lingyun, which changed his original fate.

"Brother Lingyun, are you also here for the ancient races?"

"Your injury..."

After a brief exchange, Zixia asked directly.

There are widespread rumors that Ji Lingyun has suffered serious injuries in recent years, which is why he has been indifferent to the Beidou matter. Zixia is naturally more concerned about Ji Lingyun's injuries.

This grand gathering of all races is of great importance. It is also the first high-level competition between the ancient race and the human race, and its implications are far-reaching.

"My injury? What happened to me?"

Ji Lingyun was somewhat taken aback.

The reason he has been detached from worldly affairs in recent years is simply because he was heartbroken by the human race and felt that the inherent flaws of the human race were simply insurmountable.

Naturally prone to infighting!

They're good at internal strife, but terrible at external conflicts!

So he decided to stay at the Ji family's place.

On one hand, he was reorganizing the younger generation of the Ji family; on the other hand, he also wanted to sort out his own gains.

That's why Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue made such rapid progress.

"Originally, I didn't want to come, but thinking about it, I'm also a member of the human race, and I was a little worried, so I came."

"Moreover, the purpose of this grand event by the ancient races is not simple. Not only are the ten ancient kings involved, but some terrifying ancient giants have also made their moves."

"The battle with King Jiang was just his first test. I believe he will make a big move soon. Next, it should be aimed at me."

"Isn't it dangerous for you to come here? Why don't you go back?"

Zixia frowned slightly as she spoke.

Since the ancient races are targeting Ji Lingyun, there must be powerful beings at the Great Saint Realm who will appear.

That would likely complicate matters further.

"I've already considered all of this. The path to becoming an emperor is far from simple. It's like knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still heading towards them. Since they're waiting for me, let's see whose methods are stronger!"

Ji Lingyun spoke firmly.

With his own strength, he was enough to fight against the ancient giants.

Now, with the addition of an unparalleled god-king, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

Moreover, Ji Lingyun was well aware that there was another group of saints operating behind the human race.

The seemingly weak human race is not so easily defeated.

If it weren't for the long-term strategy of catching a big fish, Ji Lingyun would have made his move long ago.

Rumble!

Half a day later, thunder roared across the heavens above the Jade Pool Holy Land, and unparalleled holy laws emerged, with holy light soaring into the sky.

Outside of Yaochi, another terrifying Ancestral King-level powerhouse has descended upon the Primordial Clan!

In an instant, the entire Yaochi area was once again plunged into a state of terror.

To everyone's horror, figures resembling demons descended from the horizon.

The ancestral body of the Primordial King streaked across the sky, its blood energy soaring to the heavens, threatening to collapse the heavens.

Each of the ancient ancestral kings was extremely terrifying, exuding an unimaginable aura of bloodlust.

This is a terrifying being whose hands are stained with the blood of billions of lives, a being that has fought its way out of an endless battlefield of carnage.

They were also among the most hostile Ancestral King-level powerhouses to the human race among all the ancient races.

Following the ancient clan's crushing defeat at Yaochi, these beings have all reappeared.

"Several years ago, we heard that a remarkable young prodigy had emerged from the human race, and we wanted to meet him. Unexpectedly, today another human saint has emerged, suppressing the ten ancestral kings of our ancient race with his own strength. Today, I, the venerable one, have come in person to witness the might of a human saint!"

Outside the gates of Yaochi Mountain, the leading Ancestral King spoke.

As he spoke, the ancestral king strode forward, clad in blood-red armor that was icy cold and gleamed with a scarlet luster.

The armor was all made of divine metal and was a top-grade sacred item.

At this moment, his blue eyes were filled with endless cold energy, accompanied by a terrifying scene of the universe being destroyed and stars collapsing.

"That's... the Ancestral King, a giant of the Blood Nether Clan, one of the three great royal clans of the ancient races!"

Within the ancient clan's camp, many powerful figures exclaimed in surprise, their faces immediately revealing expressions of wild joy.

"Hehe, finally some important figures have arrived. I'd like to see how Jiang Taixu will handle this."

"Ji Lingyun, it's time for you to show yourself."

Upon seeing the arrival of more than a dozen Ancestral King-level powerhouses, the Heavenly Emperor Prince sneered.

He was very wary of Jiang Taixu.

He hoped to use the power of the ancient clan's super ancestral king to eliminate him.

As for the likes of Ye Fan, the Holy Body of the Human Race, and the Holy Prince, he could handle them all by himself.

Outside the sacred land of Yaochi, dozens of Ancestral Kings pressed in relentlessly. Their fierce and overwhelming aura was not concealed at all, causing the earth to tremble violently, as if an apocalyptic calamity had descended.

At that moment, everyone felt immense pressure, almost suffocating.
