the palace, a look of surprise appeared on the man's face as he said, "Brother Yue, how could you have time to come here"Yue Qing didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the opening of the Sa...This archipelago is comprised of nearly a hundred islands, ranging in size from small to large.

On a clearly visible island, right in the center, there stands a mountain that reaches tens of thousands of feet high.

The entire mountain, from the base to its peak, had palaces built at regular intervals.

The nine palaces not only progress in layers but also increase in size.

From the locations and sizes of these nine palaces, one can easily see that the identities and powers of the demon elders residing within them are also different.

And, as Hai Chen You said, whether on the island or around mountains and palaces.

There wasn't a single person in sight, it was like a dead island.

However, Jiang Yun's divine sense was able to clearly feel that this entire archipelago was shrouded in an extremely powerful ban, blocking the divine sense from spreading into the islands. Let alone wanting to see what was happening inside the palace.

"Inside the Ninth Palace, at its highest point!"

Just then, a tremor ran through the sound of Emperor Xuanyuan's voice echoing in Jiang Yun's mind.

The restrictions on this island can withstand the divine consciousness of Jiang Yun, but they cannot withstand the divine consciousness of Emperor Xuanyuan.

And he, through his blood connection with Xuen Yuan Xing, had already sensed that Xuen Yuan Xing was hiding in the ninth palace on the highest level.

Jiang Yun's gaze suddenly fixed on the palace atop the mountain, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Actually, although the Great Emperor Xuanyuan was very worried when he learned that Xuanyuan Xing had gone to the Great Demon Heaven, Jiang Yun still held onto a glimmer of hope.

I hope my third senior brother perhaps hasn't been recognized by the people of the Great Demon Heaven, but has already left safely.

At this moment, hearing these words from Emperor Xuanyuan, all hope in Jiang Yun's heart was finally extinguished.

After taking a deep breath, the Emperor Xuan Yuan continued his voice, "Be careful, this Great Demon Sky is vastly different from the Great Demon Sky of old."

Beyond these nine palaces lies a powerful barrier, interwoven and increasing in strength as you ascend.

To reach the highest Ninth Palace, you must first break through the restrictions of the other eight palaces.

That is to say, you have to start from the first palace and make your way through all eight palaces.

With every palace you conquer, the restrictions will be weakened by a fraction, allowing you to eventually reach the ninth palace.

Jiang Yun listened to the words of Emperor Xuanyuan while carefully scrutinizing the nine palaces with his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "Ancestor, can you see the specific situation inside the palace"

"Can't see it!"

Emperor Xuan Yuan's voice was somewhat solemn as he said, "The person who set up these restrictions, even if they weren't an Emperor, their strength would be almost the same."

My spiritual awareness can only see the restrictions outside the palace. If I venture any deeper, I will be immediately detected.

However, I could vaguely feel that within these nine palaces, there seemed to be someone I once knew.

"But, because too much time has passed, I can't remember who that breath belonged to!"

This sentence caused Jiang Yun's pupils to involuntarily narrow slightly.

Although Emperor Xuan Yuan had previously said that there might be people from his time still alive in the Great Demon Heaven, he himself didn't quite believe it.

After all, how many years have passed since the era of Emperor Xuanyuan lived

As someone who knew Emperor Xuan Yuan back then, those he recognized were undoubtedly powerful individuals of high status. They were practically antiques by now.

And now, so many years later, it's incredible that some of those old-timers are still alive.

Of course, this also means that in order to save Xuan Yuan Xing this time, Emperor Xuan Yuan definitely cannot make a move.

Once he makes a move, his old acquaintance will notice him and deduce his identity.

Even if Jiang Yun could ultimately save Xuanyuan Xing, he would face the pursuit of Emperor Xing and even the entire Canglao Society.

However, Ginger Cloud's pupils quickly returned to normal, and she smiled faintly: "The ancestor's old friend, although still alive, since he hasn't become emperor, he must be close to death."

"Even, he probably wouldn't dare to move easily, it should be negligible!"

This wasn't Jiang Yun intentionally looking down on the other party; what he said was also true.

Just like the wind in the Illusory Realm of Fantasy, when one's lifespan is nearly depleted, what they expend is not power, but life itself! Could Emperor Xuanyuan possibly not understand this truth Yet, even so, he still spoke in a low voice, "Jiang Yun, perhaps it's best to just give up!"

If all it takes to save Xuanyuan Xing is to break into a single palace, then there's still hope.

"But now, you have to cross nine palaces, the difficulty is simply too great!"

Even I, if I were to make a move, it's unlikely to succeed.

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Since we've already come here, why not give it a try How would we know otherwise"

If he were truly no match for those from the Great Demon Heaven, Ginger Cloud would certainly retreat immediately. But since he hasn't even tried yet, to have him turn tail and leave now, of course, he wouldn't be willing to do that.

Before Emperor Xuanyuan could speak again, Jiang Yun hurriedly followed up: "Ancestral Master, is the restriction covering this entire island also connected to the restrictions of those nine palaces With my current strength, can I break through it"

Emperor Xuanyuan observed for a moment before saying, "They are connected to each other, but not too strongly. With your Nine-Nine Return-to-One Technique, you should be able to break it!"

"Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Ancestor, I haven't even reached the island yet, so using the Nine-Nine Return to One Art Then I might as well just turn around and leave now."

Emperor Xuanyuan asked, "What are you going to do then"

Ginger Cloud didn't answer, but closed her eyes instead.

Along the way here, Jiang Yun had been thinking about how to save Xuanyuan Xing. However, the specific situation of the Great Demon Heaven in front of him made it impossible for him to come up with any foolproof plan.

Ginger Cloud's divine awareness had spread in all directions, as well as to the depths of the sea.

In the deep ocean, at least tens of thousands of meters down, that gigantic Kun fish lay there quietly, motionless.

Kun's physical power was comparable to that of a quasi-emperor, even the Emperor Xuanyuan was impressed by it. Therefore, it became a trump card for Jiang Yun.

Prior to this, in order not to attract the attention of the Great Demon's people, Jiang Yun deliberately allowed Kun to sink into the depths of the seabed and secretly arrived here first, waiting for his orders.

Jiang Yun communicated with Kun using his divine sense while carefully examining the archipelago.

And after a long time, the Kun had slowly floated up to the surface of the sea.

The giant Kun was rising very, very slowly. But wherever its massive body passed, the sea boiled as if being cooked, immediately surging and churning.

But strangely, although the sea was in turmoil beneath, the surface of the water remained calm and placid, showing not the slightest sign of what was happening below.

Thus, beneath the surface of the sea, as Kun approached closer to the surface, an increasingly powerful storm was brewing.

As Kun's body was about to burst out of the sea surface, Jiang Yun finally slowly opened his eyes. Two cold lights shot towards the ninth palace standing in the center of the Great Demon Heaven. He said softly, "We can only force our way in, fight quickly and decisively, catch them off guard!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Kun finally breached the surface of the sea! Its massive body suddenly surged forward, heading straight for that group of islands.

Along with it appeared a colossal wave, tens of thousands of meters high, surging out from the sea like a mountain of condensed seawater, crashing towards that archipelago as well! "Boom boom!"

Accompanied by two earth-shattering booms, the Kun's physical body and the Wave Mountain almost simultaneously crashed against the prohibition covering the outer perimeter of that island group.

This layer, which originally required Jiang Yun to use the Nine Nine Unity Technique to break open, was immediately covered with countless cracks, and then it shattered with a deafening roar.

But the force of Kun's impact with the giant wave mountain had not yet ended, it continued to surge towards the nine palaces within the island.

"Third Senior Brother, I'm here!"

Jiang Yun lightly uttered the words "six months" from his mouth. His figure flickered, and he charged towards those nine palaces!smile again, suspecting that Jiang Yun was intentionally targeting him. But helpless against Jiang Yun's superior strength, he could only answer honestly: "The so-called Appraisal Conference is a gath...
