e black mist had dissipated, but all the rubble remained suspended in mid-air, motionless. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that each piece of debris was enveloped by a faint, almost imperce...Hearing the conditions put forth by Patriarch Taishang, Jiang Yun's brow furrowed instantly.

Although he had guessed that the Grandmaster would give him some difficult tasks, he hadn't expected it to be helping the Yaoshenshan Sect defeat the Hai Clan and win this war.

No wonder the Supreme Ancestor was reluctant to let his father-in-law know, because his father-in-law had just instructed him that once he left the inheritance site, it would be best to leave the Yaosheng sect immediately.

But now, the conditions he proposes are exactly the opposite of what his adoptive father had advised.

If my stepfather knew about this, he would definitely object strongly.

Jiang Yun didn't answer immediately, but looked at the Supreme Ancestor and said: "Although I am not a disciple of your sect, I have great confidence in the strength of your sect. How can you, senior, think that your sect cannot surpass the Sea Clan"

Moreover, my junior cultivation base is something you should be aware of.

"Even if I agreed to my seniors and participated in this war, with my own strength, it would be impossible to influence the entire battlefield. I wouldn't dare guarantee that I could definitely help your sect win this war!"

"So, senior, it's not that I refuse, but you seniors have placed too much expectation on me!"

Everything Jiang Yun said was true. Although he did single-handedly turn the tide of the battle between the Xue Clan and the Myriad Demon Cave, helping the Xue Clan to victory and escape from the Shan Hai Realm.

But at that time, he had a thread of power given by a celestial demon, and later, a trace of divine consciousness left by Xue Mu.

But now, he has nothing but a few demonic beasts on his body, without any other external forces to rely on.

Despite his own abilities, the role he could play in a large battle would be quite limited.

Even self-preservation might be difficult, let alone helping Yaoshending defeat the Hai Clan.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, a tinge of sadness appeared on the ancient face of the Supreme Patriarch. He remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Actually, what you said isn't entirely wrong."

"I naturally have confidence in my sect, but you underestimate the power of the sea clan!"

The Old Ancestor suddenly sighed and said, "Back when I hadn't entered this place yet, I once went to the Border Sea with my master, wanting to go to the Great Wilderness Realm."

"Halfway there, we encountered the Sea Clan. To protect me, my master fought to his death and sent me away, but he perished forever in the Sea of Boundaries."

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud suddenly realized.

No wonder the former Patriarch mistook himself for a sea creature and was about to kill me without hesitation. It turns out there's this history behind it.

The Hai clan killed his master, and they have a blood feud!

Then the old ancestor continued, "It was precisely because of that battle that I truly witnessed the might of the sea race!"

"My sect's strength is indeed not weak, and there are also formidable hidden reserves. However, the fact that the Sea Clan dared to leave the Boundless Ocean and actively attack us must mean they have absolute confidence in victory. Therefore, I am worried that in this great battle, my Yaosheng Sect will lose!"

Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak, the Supreme Ancestor cut him off before he could utter a word. "I don't know if you have ever experienced a similar battle," he said, "but if you have, then you should understand."

In such a grand war, what is truly being compared is not the strength of the top masters, but the strength of the middle ranks of various sects and clans.

That is to say, the most powerful masters, in a great battle, only play a role of deterrence and restraint. Sometimes, they may not even make a move.

For once they make a move, it will be earth-shattering, harming not only the enemy but also themselves.

Ginger nodded, he had deep feelings about this!

In the final battle between the Xuezu and the Myriad Demon Cave, most of the demon clan sent by the Myriad Demon Cave did not die at the hands of the Xuezu or themselves, but at the hands of their Supreme Elder, Bloodstained Robe!

The actions of powerhouses above the Cave Heaven realm, if they truly acted recklessly and unrestrained, would indeed unleash terrifying destructive power.

As for you, I actually noticed you the moment you stepped into Tian Yao City.

Although I am reluctant to admit it, I have to admit that your strength among cultivators of the same level is not unbeatable, but it is certainly among the best.

"Besides, you're clearly a seasoned veteran, with extremely rich combat experience."

Unlike the disciples of my sect, although they haven't been short on fights with others, in the past they had the support of the sect backing them up. The battles they experienced were like children playing house.

But this time is different, this is a real fight to the death, it's either live or die, there is no other possibility!

When they see their own disciples die in front of them, I suspect they would all collapse immediately!

Jiang Yun fell silent.

Indeed, when he was at the Luo family's place, he had already witnessed the unique treatment Xiao Zheng and the others received.

When being chased by Bai Caogu, Liu Hao performed very poorly. He was cowardly and afraid of death, even doubting if the other party would dare to kill him.

Because disciples of the Yaoshén Sect, even those who weren't cultivators of medicine, were always treated with high regard when they went out. They had never truly experienced life and death.

In this regard, Yaoshenzong's hope of winning is really slim!

"You say that one person cannot change the course of a great war, cannot turn the tide, and that's not entirely wrong, but it's not entirely right either!"

"Others may not be able to do it, but I believe you can!"

"So, I need you to join this battle and fight for our Yaoshenshen sect!"

"With your true abilities, inspire the confidence and morale of our disciples, and help them achieve victory!"

It has to be said, the Patriarch Taishang had a very keen eye for people. He was exceptionally good at judging character.

He allowed Jiang Yun to participate in the battle with the true intention of hoping that Jiang Yun would take the lead and use his actions to inspire all the disciples of Yaosh Shenzong.

Of course, I won't treat you poorly. After the war ends, besides telling you how to let the World Honored One leave this place, I will also ensure your safe return to the Wudao Sect.

And as long as you agree, I'll also help you improve your skills.

“You needn't refuse. I'm not doing this for you, but for our Yaosh Shenzong. After all, the stronger you become, the greater your contribution will be in the upcoming battle!”

"Now, I'm giving you some time to think it over. When you're ready, give me an answer!"

The venerable Patriarch finally closed his mouth and eyes, waiting for Jiang Yun's answer.

After hearing everything the other person said, Jiang Yun actually knew in his heart that he had no chance of refusing!

Once rejected, I'm afraid I'll truly be like what my foster father said, unable to live outside the Yaoshensong!

Therefore, after just a moment of thought, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I can participate in the battle and will do my best, but if I fail to meet the senior's requirements in the end..."

Before Gingercloud could finish speaking, the Supreme Patriarch interrupted, "Rest assured, as long as you keep your word, then even if our Yaoshendzong loses in the end, as long as you are still alive, and as long as this place of inheritance still exists, I will make good on my promise!"

"Alright! Then, please, senior, escort me from this place!"

"Hold on, I said I'd help you improve your strength. What realm are you at now"

Jiang Yun originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, since he was going to fight for the Yaoshengzong, it was only natural to take some benefits from them. So he said, "Fortune Land Second Layer!"

The Supreme Ancestor's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "At this time, you needn't speak falsehoods. You truly only possess the cultivation of the Second Heaven of the Blessed Land"

"The junior speaks the truth!"

The old ancestor nodded and said, "Although the realm is a bit lower, it's also a good thing!"

"So, in a moment I will give you a large amount of spiritual energy. Please absorb as much as possible, and try your best to raise your cultivation level by several levels. Don't be shy!"

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but be shocked by the bold words of the Supreme Elder. He repeated in disbelief, "A few levels"
