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

Or perhaps a sacred weapon?

The eighth patriarch of the Ji family cast a questioning glance at the three-foot-long sword in Ji Lingyun's hand.

The fact that a single sword strike could knock him back forced the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji family to take the matter seriously.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Lingyun.

A hint of apprehension flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he secretly compared the previous sword strike to his own.

The final result made him tremble, because he discovered that he couldn't stop it at all.

This forced him to take this unassuming outcast from the Ji family seriously.

He doesn't care about the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body.

Because no matter how talented someone is, none of them are as astonishing as his legend.

But now he changed his mind, because he knew very well that what Ji Lingyun had in his hands was just an ordinary longsword.

Ji Lingyun is absolutely qualified to be his opponent!

The Wang family bigwigs, led by Wang Chengkun, were also extremely shocked and envious of the Ji family's abilities.

Such a powerful sword strike was actually wielded by a junior.

Moreover, there are countless other such prodigies in the Ji family.

As expected of a descendant of an ancient imperial clan.

At this moment, they actually felt that if the Ji family could agree to the marriage between Ji Ziyue and Wang Teng, it would be a great joy for the Wang family.

Unfortunately, the Ji family's attitude was ambiguous, leaving people completely baffled.

Ji Haoyue was also startled. He hadn't expected that his elder brother Ji Lingyun, whom he had met on the way back from Qishi Mansion, would be so powerful.

Along the way, he had secretly clashed with Ji Lingyun, but Ji Lingyun always managed to defuse the situation with ease.

This gave Ji Haoyue more confidence.

Having an older brother of "equal" strength to help him would at least make the family elders more cautious.

Twenty years have passed, and you're still as strong as ever!

"Good, good, good! Ji Lingyun, let me see just how much skill you've gained over the years. The Ji family isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"

The eighth patriarch of the Ji family vented his anger on Ji Lingyun.

Since Ji Haoyue is his descendant, one should always pick on the weakest link.

Chapter 2 Inviting the Ancestor to Ascend to Heaven

"Wow...so strong! He actually forced the Eighth Ancestor to retreat!"

"Is he really... Ji... Lingyun?"

"This can't be right, how did he become so strong!"

"You're kidding, right? He was..."

Shh, they might have received some extraordinary inheritance.

……

Some of the Ji family disciples who knew Ji Lingyun felt extremely incredulous.

Back then, Ji Lingyun was just like them, an ordinary disciple of the Ji family.

There are countless people like this in the Ji family, none of them stand out at all.

This is also the main reason for the decline of Ji Lingyun's lineage.

So what exactly happened in these twenty years?

Twenty years may be a long time for mortals, but for cultivators, it is just a blink of an eye.

Ji Lingyun's confidence, his imposing presence, and his composure were enough to overwhelm even Ji Haoyue.

"Eighth Ancestor, our main purpose today is to resolve Ziyue's problem. We're all family, why resort to violence? However, if you insist on going your own way, then don't blame me for drawing my sword without mercy!"

Ji Lingyun started off speaking calmly, but later her tone shifted and she became menacing.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are! Even if your grandfather were here, he would still have to address me as 'Eighth Ancestor Master.' You are just a mere junior. When did it become your place to criticize the affairs of the family's higher-ups!"

The eighth patriarch of the Ji family roared angrily, looking at Ji Lingyun with utter disdain.

In his view, Ji Lingyun's lineage had long lost its former glory and was not worthy of staying in the Ji family.

Ji Lingyun wasn't angry at all. He still smiled and looked at the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji family and Wang Teng and the others, and said slowly, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Eighth Ancestor, you are old and can't keep up with the times. You can just drink tea and read books from now on. Why bother interfering in the affairs of the younger generation? I'll ask you one last question: will you let go of Ziyue's matter or not?!"

At the end, Ji Lingyun's tone became sharp.

Instantly, an invisible wave of energy spread out, and many Ji family disciples who were close by were instantly thrown away by the wave, which was quite shocking.

The elders, including the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji family, couldn't help but take a serious look at how someone could achieve such a level simply by relying on their own aura.

"How dare you! What if I don't let go!"

Being threatened in front of outsiders by a junior was too much for Ji family patriarch to bear, and he was determined to teach this arrogant junior a lesson.

"Then we respectfully invite the Ancestor to ascend to heaven!"

Ji Lingyun sneered, pointing his three-foot-long sword directly at the eighth ancestor of the Ji family, his face cold.

"Haoyue, leave these old men to me. As for that damned Northern Emperor, you handle it yourself, just don't lose."

After saying that, Ji Lingyun took a step forward.

boom!

It was just one step, but in the eyes of the eight ancestors of the Ji family, it felt like a powerful pressure was coming towards them.

Puff puff!

The wind howled fiercely, and the eight ancestors of the Ji family felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them. Their faces turned red, and the immense pressure made it impossible for them to move their legs.

"impossible……"

The eighth ancestor of the Ji family managed to utter a few words: What exactly is this heavy pressure?

"With your cultivation level, which is not even at the Sendai Realm, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingyun let out a cold laugh, "Impossible?! Haha!"

"So what kind of Sendai Realm expert is he? He's nothing special."

The overwhelming sword intent transformed into countless rays of starlight, pouring out like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, suppressing the eight ancestors of the Ji family.

puff!

Ji family patriarch's knees were flat on the ground, the heavy pressure making it difficult for him to breathe.

Ji Haoyue stared at this scene in shock, utterly incredulous.

Everyone stared at it in disbelief.

When did the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm become so powerful?

He actually overpowered a powerful expert at the second level of the Sendai Realm!

"presumptuous!"

"Void Mahamudra!"

The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family would not submit so easily. He unleashed his divine power, raised his hand, and struck out with a terrifying giant handprint.

Like a dark cloud, it rolled in, and a terrifying power surged in the void.

"Boom!!"

Starlight collided with the giant hand of the heavens.

The two of them trembled violently.

Deng Deng Deng!

The eight ancestors of the Ji family retreated repeatedly, leaving dozens of deep footprints on the ground, their faces turning extremely ugly.

Because Ji Lingyun only swayed, without retreating at all.

"What? Ji Lingyun was actually able to defeat the Eighth Ancestor?"

"What exactly has Ji Lingyun gone through in the past twenty years? His strength has become so terrifying!"

The very first clash was enough to turn the faces of the Ji family elders watching the battle pale and cause them to break out in a cold sweat.

Because Ji Lingyun's cultivation level has indeed not yet broken through to the Sendai Realm.

But that's the scariest part.

There are indeed geniuses who can fight opponents of higher levels.

But to fight across two major realms is an unprecedented achievement.

The gap between the Dragon Transformation Realm and the first level of the Sendai Realm is even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The eighth ancestor of the Ji family was a top expert in the second level of the Sendai Realm, but even with his full strength, he was still suppressed by Ji Lingyun.
