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

Chapter 203 The first level

"This person's energy aura is somewhat special, and his fortune is long-lasting. He is actually a high-level saint. He is not simple."

Ji Lingyun's eyes flashed, and as the group of cultivators swept through the ancient street, he clearly sensed the fluctuations of their blood energy.

Although this person's strength is far from comparable to his, it is clearly a step above the human race's top cultivators present, and he is capable of competing for deeper levels of the ancient human path.

But this person is willing to guard the first formidable pass of the human race, becoming an unknown and insignificant guard, which is quite interesting.

"The first formidable pass on the ancient road of humanity, guarded by a young and powerful figure... could this person be..."

As his thoughts raced, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Ji Lingyun, giving him a rough guess about the latter's identity.

Swish!

Just then, the imposing guard seemed to notice Ji Lingyun's gaze and suddenly turned his head to look at him.

A wild and ferocious gleam flowed within his eyes.

"Interesting. It seems that some extraordinary individuals have emerged among this group of heroes from the ancient road. I'm almost tempted to test their abilities."

The young guard was clad in armor and wore a silver helmet, revealing only his eyes.

He stared at Ji Lingyun, his tone filled with excitement.

"Commander Guan! Today is the day the first formidable pass opens. We must not act rashly; the overall situation is paramount!"

Seemingly sensing the fighting spirit emanating from their leader, several guards behind him quickly stepped forward and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, the powerful aura emanating from the guard leader gradually began to subside.

In that instant, Ji Lingyun's figure also passed him by.

"Commander Guan? His surname is Guan... It really is him!"

As Ji Lingyun strolled along the ancient streets of the human city, he recalled the hushed conversation between the guards earlier.

He heard everything, which confirmed his suspicions.

The first formidable pass on the ancient road of the human race, the young guard there is Guan Cheng.

In the original work, he was a character with a considerable reputation.

Although his strength was not particularly outstanding, and he was defeated several times, his Dao heart was almost broken, but he lived a long life and possessed some great fortune.

This guy, who survived several dark and turbulent calamities, later lived a second life like an unparalleled god-king.

Even ordinary Great Sages, Quasi-Emperors, and some beings who have achieved enlightenment through unconventional means cannot defeat him.

Later, he personally witnessed Ye Fan's rise to the Heavenly Emperor and even received Ye Fan's essence blood as a gift.

It's no wonder that such an unconventional person would attract Ji Lingyun's attention.

Thinking of all this, Ji Lingyun couldn't help but smile. He never expected that he would encounter Guan Cheng when he set foot on the Starry Sky Ancient Road checkpoint.

Moreover, the latter seemed to harbor some hostility towards him, which was quite interesting.

"Guan Cheng is still resentful, it seems he lacks real-world experience. Oh well, these are trivial matters I don't need to worry about. Ye Fan and Monkey's gang will teach him a lesson in the future."

A mocking smile appeared on Ji Lingyun's lips.

With Ji Lingyun's current cultivation level, he is more than capable of easily killing a Great Sage and fighting a Quasi-Emperor in a physical battle. Guan Cheng, a mere figurehead, is naturally not worth his attention.

Ji Lingyun's figure flashed and disappeared at the end of the ancient human road.

Over the next few days, Ji Lingyun did not rush to the next pass on the ancient road of the human race, but stayed in this ancient city.

Compared to other passes on the ancient human road, this place offers some unique opportunities and fortunes that have even piqued his interest.

For example, the legendary ancient Taoist temple, and the source of the Tao, which are rare treasures of heaven and earth.

Ji Lingyun also had some thoughts of exploration.

According to the information obtained, the Ancient Dojo will be fully opened in three days. This is also the first trial level of the ancient road of the human race. Ji Lingyun is quite interested in this and wants to experience it for himself.

However, before the three-day deadline arrived, some startling news spread from within the ancient human pass.

One of the parties involved in this incident was none other than Guan Cheng.

But tragically, he was the one in a weaker position.

In a fierce battle, Guan Cheng was almost crippled.

According to reliable sources, he was injured by a mysterious young man.

Before three moves were up, he and his mount were blasted hundreds of miles away, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

This incident caused a huge sensation within the ancient city.

"Guan Cheng, you've been defeated again?"

Ji Lingyun was also somewhat surprised when she heard the news.

He never imagined that so many tragic events could take place within this ancient human city.

Guan Cheng was still as unfortunate as ever, getting thoroughly defeated in just three moves.

Therefore, the strong opponents he fought were definitely no weaker than him.

Even stronger.

"Interesting! It seems some special people have come to this ancient city of the first human race. I'd really like to see them."

The thought of gaining a higher level of cultivation excited Ji Lingyun.

Meanwhile, in another direction of the ancient city, the figure of a mysterious young man also appeared.

He was shrouded in a layer of misty purple aura, his aura powerful and unfathomable.

He was also gazing into the distance behind the ancient human road, lost in thought.

"The remnants of the cultivation of the Purple Star Emperor, the Sun Saint Emperor, and the Moon Human Emperor have manifested. It's a pity that I missed that great opportunity. Now that I have embarked on the ancient path of the human race, I will surely advance triumphantly and forcefully penetrate into the deepest part of the ancient path."

"And the ancient Daoist temple within this ancient city, the source of the Dao, I also wish to obtain."

The bright moon hung high, its hazy light enveloping the entire ancient city, and the faint voice of the mysterious young man could be heard.

Immediately, the purple aura swirled, gradually blurring his figure.

At the same time, before the first formidable pass on the ancient road of humanity, thunder roared and dozens of terrifying figures appeared.

They were engaged in an extremely fierce battle, and amidst it all, there was a graceful and ethereal figure.

A dozen terrifying figures seemed to be ganging up on her, but she fought them head-on and was not at a disadvantage at all.

Their fierce battles along the way attracted the attention of countless powerful figures in the ancient city.

"My God! What terrifying energy! Where did this group of geniuses and prodigies come from? They are so powerful!"

"And deep within that energy vortex, there was that slender, graceful figure. She actually single-handedly contended with more than a dozen Saint-level powerhouses. That's terrifying!"

A fierce battle roared in the sky.

Amidst the dazzling divine light, that beautiful figure and more than a dozen terrifying saintly figures also rushed into the city.

"I understand. Those people seem to be from the Twelve Riders of the Desolate Sky. Weren't these guys already deep behind the Ancient Star Road? How come they're here again, and joining forces to besiege a mysterious woman?"

Subsequently, many cultivators within the ancient city were alarmed.

Some of the older cultivators recognized the identities of the Twelve Heavenly Riders, and their expressions became even more horrified.

Chapter 204 Di Tian Returns

The Twelve Riders of the Desolate Lands were all incredibly ruthless, their fearsome reputations shaking the surrounding regions.

Even in the ancient human trial grounds and some ancient star lands, their infamous and terrifying names are still widely known.

Each knight was a saint-level powerhouse, incredibly ferocious, with their hands stained with the blood of countless living beings.

Since they set foot on the ancient star road, they have already ravaged dozens or even hundreds of ancient life-bearing stars.

Wherever they went, a sea of ​​blood raged; it was terrifying.

The top-ranking commanders, in particular, are terrifyingly powerful, having already reached the Saint King level several years ago.

Even the guides within the ancient human city dared not easily offend those guys.

"No, that wasn't all of the Twelve Heavenly Riders, just the seven ranked lower and their respective followers. Who exactly is this mysterious woman that she could command these guys to join forces and besiege her?"

Within the ancient human city, undercurrents surged, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

The mysterious youth's defeat of the guardian Guan Cheng had already caused a great uproar in the ancient city, but now such a big storm has broken out in the human ancient city.

Mysterious and terrifying powerful adversaries are constantly emerging, putting immense pressure on the many outstanding cultivators who aspire to participate in this ancient Daoist trial ground.

"The Twelve Riders of the Desolate Lands, a mysterious young man and woman. Heh, things are getting more and more interesting."

Inside the ancient city, Ji Lingyun had naturally heard about this incident, and his smile deepened.

The more talented individuals and stronger individuals one encounters on the ancient path of humanity, the better.

Otherwise, it would be too boring for him.

At the same time, Ji Lingyun's mind started to race, wanting to take this opportunity to find out the identities and backgrounds of the mysterious man and woman.
