e vortex, there were flickering figures and a chorus of voices. However, at this moment, in the eyes of the demons charging towards Jiang Yun, there was only one thing in the vortex—the Heavenly Ascen...Because of the appearance of three senior brothers and sisters, Ginger Cloud's heart is now completely at peace.

Although it's still impossible to unleash the full power of the Dao Ruins, under the influence of the enlightenment of senior brothers and sisters, at least over 60% of the tombs within the entire Dao Ruins have released Dao Qi and contributed their power.

At this very moment, the aura within Dao Ruins is so dense that it has formed a thick fog, surging towards that vortex of aura.

At the same time, Tian Xiang also released several seals on the Tian Ji Sword in one go. The terrifying power emanating from the sword finally broke through Jiang Yun's blood blockade. Countless sword qi also surged toward the vortex of Dao energy.

"

Boom!

"

Qi of the Dao and sword qi collided violently, producing a deafening roar.

The tremendous force generated, surged outwards from the point of impact in all directions. It shook the world above and below where these two realms existed, causing violent tremors throughout both.

Although the impact was incredibly powerful, within the Dao Ruins, the four figures already submerged in the thick Dao Qi remained unmoved.

Jiang Yun, along with his three senior and junior brothers and sisters, in this Taoist ruin that their master Gu Bulao had guarded for countless years, relying on their respective understandings of the Dao, they invoked the power of the Taoist ruin, deadlocked against the Tianji Sword, preventing the Eight Departments from entering.

If this scene were to be seen by other creatures in this world, it would undoubtedly be filled with emotion.

Because, this is equivalent to the ancient and immortal sect, with five disciples and masters protecting this world! Within the Eight Heavenly Regions, Tianxiang's face has become extremely unsightly! Six of the nine seals of the Tianji Sword have been broken, which means that about 60% of the power within the Tianji Sword has been released.

This power is so strong, it can be described as terrifying.

If he were to draw the Heavenly Divination Sword from this vortex right now, relying on its power, Tianxiang would be confident enough to challenge someone a realm stronger than himself.

However, such immense power was still stubbornly held back by the cultivators of the lower realms.

It was just like returning to the time before the Tianji Sword's seal was broken, with both sides once again falling into a stalemate.

This stalemate is not good news for Tian Xiang at all.

Although he was well aware that, as an ancestor, he definitely wasn't paying attention to what was happening here now and wouldn't know what had transpired.

But if time drags on any longer, and these 8,000 of us still can't even enter the Lower Realm, the old Clan will surely know.

By that time, their mission this time would still be declared a failure.

As for the other eight cultivators of the Heavenly Dao, they all closed their mouths and fell into silence.

Among them, some hoped that Tian Xiang would quickly break open the passage below, so that they could enter the lower realm and complete their mission sooner.

But some also hope that Tianxiang will recall the Tiangi Sword, so that cultivators in the lower realm can completely seal this passage.

Because they are afraid! The lower realm cultivators, who recently killed eight hundred of our companions, are now blocking the Heavenly Talisman Sword.

This alone proves that within the lower realms, powerful beings have emerged who could threaten my life! It's better to be ridiculed than to lose one's life in the lower realms.

It's a pity that everyone else can choose not to go or give up this mission, but only Tianxiang cannot! As the leader chosen by the Heavenly Department for this mission, it is a test of him by his tribe and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If the task is completed well, he will surely be rewarded upon his return.

Tian Xiang's gaze was fixed on the whirlpool before him, wishing he could see through it to glimpse how many cultivators were in the lower realm and how they had managed to withstand the Tianji Sword until now.

It's a pity that, being separated by two vast realms, with his current abilities, he couldn't possibly ignore the gap in space through either his sight or divine sense. Therefore, he couldn't perceive anything.

Tian Xiang could only look at the hilt of the Tian Ji sword he was holding, his mind racing.

"The ancestor said that the Heavenly Divination Sword's nine seals can only be broken up to the eighth one."

If the ninth gate were to be opened, the power that would be unleashed would be beyond the capacity of the lower realm to withstand. It would collapse directly.

That means I can still unlock two more seals!

But if we were to unseal it now, by the time we truly entered the Nether Realm, we would have no weapon left to counter the cultivators of the Nether Realm!

Tiānxiáng also naturally worried that the cultivators from the lower realm would be too strong. As for Tiānjī Sword, it was his, and even the last reliance of 8,000 and eight divisions of Heavenly Troops. If all its power were unleashed now, they would have no means of self-preservation if they entered the lower realm and encountered danger again.

Therefore, he was also a little hesitant.

And just as Tianxiang hesitated, Jiang Yun, with the help of his three senior brothers and sisters, not only successfully activated a large amount of Daoxu power, but also suppressed the Tianji Sword.

Moreover, the three senior brothers and sisters' understanding of the Dao was also transmitted through this way of attacking each other, blending into the various Dao auras permeating the Dao Ruins. It was gradually seeping into his mind and body, transforming into his own understanding.

This is also a rare opportunity for Ginger Cloud.

Especially the identity of the three senior brothers and sisters, they are practitioners of learning the Dao, cultivating the Dao, and walking the Dao.

Their practice and pursuit, while seeming singular, is in actuality all-encompassing.

For example, Dongfang Bo, as a cultivator, although he mastered not many types of Daos himself, he had some understanding of all the Daos born in this world.

Just like his name, he is a true scholar in the knowledge of the Tao.

Even Situ Jing and Xuan Yuan Xing, their Dao cultivation knowledge comes from Dong Fang Bo. This also led them to try cultivating various different paths.

And at this moment, all of this knowledge has been passed on to Jiang Yun.

Therefore, Jiang Yun had already immersed himself in the comprehension of these avenues and put them into practice, using these insights to further stimulate the power of the Dao Ruins.

Gradually, the blue light and power on Tianji Sword began to be suppressed by the Dao Qi little by little.

Feeling that even the Heavenly Mandate Sword was almost being forced back to the Heavenly Gathering Domain, this finally made Tian Xiang make a decision.

"Since six of the eight seals have already been opened, it doesn't matter if we open the remaining two!"

"Bang!"

The seventh seal, open.

"Ha!"

The Heavenly Firmament Sword once again surged with blue light, and the energy it emitted was no longer sword qi but sword wind! A surging wind formed from countless strands of sword qi. Wherever the sword wind swept, the Dao Qi instantly became powerless, being cut to pieces in an instant and reduced to nothingness.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Yun, who was deeply immersed in contemplation, was once again struck by this surge of sword wind. Countless wounds appeared on his body, and he finally opened his eyes.

He ignored his own injuries and hastily looked at his senior brothers and sisters beside him, worried that they would be hurt by the sword energy.

However, upon seeing it, Jiang Yun suddenly froze.

Because the two figures sitting on either side of him were not his senior brothers, but… himself! Above his head, in that nine-petal flower, sat a figure that was also… himself! This finally made Jiang Yun understand that what he had seen earlier, those senior brothers and sisters, were actually illusions generated by his one-sided yearning, or rather, under his extreme longing.

From beginning to end, senior brothers and sisters didn't appear at all.

All the figures that appeared, all those who wielded their Dao Arts, were... himself! "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother..." As Jiang Yun once again called out these three names, the three figures beside him and above his head exploded under the impact of the sword wind! With the disappearance of these three figures, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Yun's face, as he gently shook his head and said, "I couldn't hold it."ks of demon beasts, more and more cultivators died in battle, causing the formation to become increasingly incomplete.The cultivator and the monster instantly clashed into battle.Although the cultivat...
