people fell silent for a moment, but without a word, they each stepped back several paces, creating distance between themselves.Of course, although they believed that Lei Ji Tianzhu wouldn't dare to a...All eyes, naturally, were on Jiang Yun.

And Jiang Yun's cultivation realm had instantly crossed several realms in succession, directly recovering to the Yu Fa Realm from the Human Dao Convergence Realm.

Although he is still a great realm away from his true cultivation level, compared to the remaining six cultivators, he is at least not in the bottom four.

The Azure Emperor also glanced at Jiang Yun, letting out a sound only he could hear: "Strange, he clearly could have broken through quickly, why is he always deliberately suppressing himself"

>If it weren't for the time running out, he would probably still be suppressing

.

What on earth are you doing

However, the Haodi didn't pay any more attention to Jiang Yun. His gaze swept across the remaining six people, and with a wave of his sleeve, four people disappeared directly, appearing in the canyon outside the palace. They were completely deprived of their qualification to compete for the inheritance of the Great Emperor.

As it happens, these four people were each from a different race.

And the cultivator who was eliminated from the Human Race was Fang Nanshan! This powerful warrior of Zhanhuangzong, a seventh-rank sealer, suddenly showed an unwillingness on his face and directly rushed towards the layer of golden light that was still upside down. While reaching out with his hand to desperately slap the light curtain, he shouted loudly: "Emperor Hao, Emperor Hao, this is unfair, unfair!"

Looking at Fang Nanshan's almost frenzied appearance, everyone naturally understood what he meant by unfair.

Because his cultivation realm was the highest among the thirteen, it should also take him longer to recover his cultivation than others.

A slight lapse in time caused him to forever miss the Imperial Succession. His heart was filled with extreme resentment.

In fact, everyone felt that Emperor Hao's elimination method was still very fair.

Although Fang Nanshan took longer than others, within the same timeframe, everyone else had already recovered to the Yuan Fa realm, while he was still only at the Shi Ming realm. So in this regard alone, he was indeed inferior to other cultivators.

Fāng Nán shān's shouts could not penetrate into the palace at all.

The Hao Emperor's gaze fell upon the remaining nine cultivators, especially giving Jiang Yun a particular look before saying, "Now, continue forward and enter the second hall!"

Eight people looked at each other, none daring to speak much. They obediently stepped forward, but Jiang Yun stood still and suddenly bowed to Hao Di: "Senior..." "Hmph!"

The Jade Emperor let out a cold snort, interrupting Jiang Yun's words and not giving him the opportunity to continue. With a flick of his sleeve, he enveloped Jiang Yun's body and flung him towards the front of the hall.

Ginger Cloud, who should have been last, unexpectedly became first at this moment. She was directly sent to the first hall by Emperor Hao, entering the second hall.

This made Jiang Yun, who had stopped in his tracks, involuntarily smile wryly. He shook his head, truly unable to understand. Could it be that because he had taken the sealing formation outside Di Ku and forcibly brought away Bai Li Cong Lin, that this Emperor Hao looked down on him

However, Ginger Cloud felt that his cultivation level had completely recovered.

This also made him even more certain that his cultivation had never truly disappeared.

The next moment, Jiang Yun's smile vanished from his face, replaced by a solemn expression as he looked towards the second hall! Inside the hall, it was no longer empty, but instead stood nine statues, each towering several meters high.

At this moment, these nine statues are radiating powerful auras from their bodies.

And within those eyes, which were originally meant to be carved from wood and molded clay, a light began to flicker, as if they were slowly coming to life.

Feeling the aura of the statue, Jiang Yun muttered to himself: "One person, one statue. Did he win by defeating all the passes"

At this time, the other eight people also followed Jiang Yun and entered this second hall, seeing nine statues.

Everyone was taken aback at first, but then they all understood the meaning behind these statues appearing. Their expressions grew grave as well.

The voice of the Jade Emperor rang in their ears: "Defeat your respective statues to pass, only the top five will advance!"

Upon hearing the Emperor Hao's words, five cultivators immediately rushed toward the statue.

To take the top five means to eliminate four people. So even if you make a move earlier, there's still a chance you could end up in the top five.

Nine statues, both in appearance and aura, were identical. As a result, the five people each instantly chose a statue and launched their attacks.

But just as their attacks struck five of the statues, they suddenly saw a dazzling light emanating from the statues' bodies.

Within the radiance, the forms and features of these five statues changed at an astonishing speed, quickly transforming into the likenesses of the cultivators who had just struck them! Though this sudden shift left everyone momentarily stunned, they didn't dwell on it. Even Lu Zisu and the remaining three charged towards a statue each.

Only Jiang Yun remained standing in place! He looked at the eight statues that had transformed into the appearances of cultivators and muttered to himself, "This scene is strikingly similar to what I experienced in the inheritance world within Mieyu back then"

Jiang Yun clearly remembered that year, when he and the Asura entered the inheritance world within Tongtian Lock. They went through numerous trials to obtain the final inheritance.

There is a level where clouds condense into someone exactly like yourself. To pass, you must defeat yourself! The situation before me right now is very similar to that time. It's all about defeating yourself! "Could it be that there is some connection between this Emperor's inheritance and the inheritance world within the Heavenly Lock back then"

The moment the thought appeared, Jiang Yun immediately dismissed it.

The Sky-Locking Chain was a gift from his father, and the world it contained was passed down in every lower realm. It had nothing to do with the Emperor's inheritance before him.

"Well then, let's get past this hurdle first!"

Gingercloud no longer thought much about it, nor did she look at the others' battles. Instead, she strode towards the last statue.

As a fist struck the statue, its form and features began to change as well.

And when it finished changing, Jiang Yun couldn't help but laugh and cry! In the distance, Jin Yang, who was fighting fiercely with a statue, suddenly had a cold light in his eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Yun! Because the statue wasn't transformed into Jiang Yun's current appearance, but Jiang Yun's true appearance! This was truly something Jiang Yun hadn't expected.

Thus, Jin Yang naturally recognized this so-called East as the very Gu Yun who had made him a laughingstock not long ago. "Gu Yun!"

Jin Yang squeezed out two words from between his teeth! It wasn't just Jin Yang; as the statue transformed into Jiang Yun's true appearance, many human cultivators within Wusheng City also recognized him.

Zhu Shao shook his head and said, "I just said how I felt a familiar feeling from him. It turns out, he is Gu Yun!"

"I thought that even if he came back after leaving, he wouldn't appear in the Southern Region. Unexpectedly, his courage is not small. He really returned to the Southern Region again."

"However, he was recognized at this moment, and that Jin Yang probably wouldn't let him go."

"Now, the competition for the inheritance of the Great Emperor is at stake. No matter what, they are both cultivators from my human race. If they fight each other, there is a high probability that they will lose their eligibility for inheritance and benefit the other three races."

Now, one can only hope that the two of them can both consider the bigger picture, bear with each other for now, and wait until after they leave the Imperial Caverns to settle their hatred.

Besides those few, on the city wall at the border of the southern region of Wusheng City, the over a hundred cultivators guarding the city also recognized Jiang Yun. Their faces were all filled with interest.

Although they had fought against Ginger Cloud before, they held no animosity towards him. Instead, they admired him very much.

Even they hoped that Ginger Cloud could eventually obtain the Emperor's inheritance! Outside Shangcheng, across the Red Sea, there lay another city of immense size and grandeur, a natural gathering place for the demon race.

...But in the northern region of this city, there was a group of cultivators who were also looking up at the picture that appeared in Hao Di's figure.

When they saw Ginger Cloud's true form, over a dozen cultivators among the group trembled violently.

After exchanging glances, one of the young men suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Go, inform Yue Rou!"r as to remove the Jie Mie physique from his own son and gave it to Jiang Yun.And what's even crueler is that he ruthlessly sent Ji Wang into the black clouds of the battlefield outside the domain, ig...
