Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Inside the Eight Views Palace, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a futon, his face serene.

Before him was a star map, in which the Ziwei Star Region, the Beidou Star Region, and many surrounding star regions could be clearly seen. Although it was just a stone carving, one could feel the magnificence and vastness of those stars through the stone wall, as if one were truly in the starry sky.

Furthermore, a route is marked on this star map.

It seems that someone once strolled through the starry sky, traveled through many star regions, and finally left behind this ancient map of the starry sky.

"The vast and boundless starry sky, and visitors from beyond the heavens..." The young man in the Taoist robe sighed softly.

Then he turned around indifferently and looked at the Taoist boy kneeling beside him.

"Is he unwilling to come?" the Lord of the Eight Views Palace asked calmly.

"Yes, not only did he refuse to come, but he also said that you should personally go to greet him, and in the end he even beat me seriously, showing no respect for the Eight Views Palace!" the young Taoist said, his voice filled with fear.

When questioned by his master, he still dared not say a word, nor did he bother to beg his master to prolong his life.

"A visitor from outer space, indeed quite arrogant." The young man in the Taoist robe nodded calmly.

He had known about the recent news of extraterrestrial visitors arriving in the Ziwei Star Region for some time.

However, he was busy comprehending the mysteries of the starry sky engraving in front of him and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Now that he finally had an opportunity, he sent his attendant to invite a powerful figure who seemed to be from outer space to discuss the Dao at the Eight Views Palace. He never expected the other party to do this.

"He attacked you?" the Lord of the Eight Views Palace asked calmly.

"Yes, not only did he refuse to come over, but he also attacked me, trying to use this against our Eight Views Palace!" the young Taoist boy kneeling on the ground said, his eyes filled with fear.

Even now, the life force within him is still rapidly draining away.

If he doesn't intervene to save his life, he probably won't live for another fifteen minutes at most.

However, when faced with the calm and composed young man in front of him, he lacked the courage to speak and could only watch as the Taoist robe stood calmly before him.

“Raise your head,” the young man in the Taoist robe said.

The young Taoist's eyes were filled with excitement, and the fact that he looked up proved that his master wanted to help him resolve the crisis!

The young Taoist priest immediately raised his head.

The young Taoist boy had suddenly become an old man, his once smooth skin now covered with wrinkles.

Now his eyelids droop, and the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth almost reach his neck. He looks very old, like an old man who is about to die, as if he has one foot in his coffin.

Upon seeing this, even the young man in the Bagua robe was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, a flicker appeared in his usually calm eyes.

"Master, save me..." the young Taoist finally couldn't help but beg for help.

"What about your cultivation level and the vitality within your body?" the young man in the Taoist robe asked.

He was exceptionally familiar with his own path.

Although this young Taoist's cultivation level isn't very high, he has at least entered the Dragon Transformation Realm, and his lifespan should be quite abundant.

But the person kneeling in front of him now was clearly a cultivator from the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, and one foot was already in the grave!

Even the arrogant Yin Tiande couldn't immediately discern what kind of changes the young Taoist had undergone.

"I don't know how that young man could sever my Dao foundation with just a wave of his hand! And even my lifespan is constantly diminishing! He said he would give me three hours to come back and report, and now there's only half an hour left!"

The young Taoist priest knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

He could clearly feel the life force within his body constantly draining away.

He knew death was drawing ever closer, which was why he was so panicked and so terrified.

"In a single move, he destroyed your Dao foundation and even your lifespan?" Yin Tiande narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the Dao boy's words and sensing the Dao boy's current state.

He could sense that the young Taoist was not lying; the vitality and cultivation within this fellow were indeed constantly disappearing.

It's likely that it won't be long before this young Taoist boy truly turns into a pile of bones.

But the question is, how did that guy manage to do all that?

Yin Tiande walked towards the young Taoist boy, reached out and placed his hand on the boy's head, feeling the rapidly dissipating life force within the boy's body.

A rich life force emerged from his palm and surged into the little Taoist's body, seemingly to save the little Taoist's life in this way. However, to his surprise, although this life force was sent out, it seemed to disappear into thin air, without any movement!

The young Taoist's life force was still rapidly draining away, and his cultivation level was still declining at a breakneck pace; Yin Tiande's help did not slow down this process.

"Hmm?" Yin Tiande frowned. He really didn't expect the other party's methods to be so domineering. Even if he gave the little Taoist boy a chance to live, it still wouldn't solve any problems.

“It’s alright, don’t worry,” Yin Tiande said calmly.

Although he couldn't find a way to survive, he had other methods.

A bright green light appeared, illuminating the entire Eight Views Palace, and endless vitality permeated the area. Then, under Yin Tiande's guidance, it all surged into the young Taoist boy's body.

For a fleeting moment, the young Taoist did indeed feel a surge of vitality; his life force seemed to be activated by this power.

In an instant, life force gushed forth from his life spring and began to repair his body.

Xiao Dao's eyes were filled with excitement; the flow of life gave him hope.

The wrinkles on his face seemed to be gradually smoothing out under the nourishment of this vitality, and his once snow-white hair was beginning to turn black.

The young Taoist was filled with excitement, and he quickly thanked his master for his help.

However, Yin Tiande's face did not show any relief. Instead, his brows furrowed as the young Taoist boy experienced a final burst of energy.

Something is wrong!
Although the life spring within the young Taoist boy's body was activated, and life seemed to be flowing slowly, the fundamental problem was not actually solved!

The positive signs were merely due to the flow of life force within the life spring, but that life force did not truly improve the young Taoist's current condition; it only made things look better on the surface.

"Master, and my cultivation level..." the young Taoist boy said excitedly.

Although his life force was restored, he still wanted to go further and restore his cultivation level as well, because he had finally managed to cultivate to the Dragon Transformation Realm. If he couldn't restore his cultivation level, wouldn't he have to start cultivating all over again and waste more than ten years of his life?
Looking at the expectant young Taoist boy, Yin Tiande couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, the young Taoist thought he was asking for too much, and quickly changed his words, "It's okay if my cultivation can't be made up, I can just start cultivating again!" Yin Tiande nodded gently.

The young Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his master had agreed to his words.

Feeling the life force flowing through his body, he smiled contentedly.

Yin Tiande stood calmly to the side, watching the young Taoist boy die with a satisfied expression.

It seemed that the life force that had returned to the body of the teenage Taoist boy had been cut off in an instant. He collapsed with a satisfied look on his face. Even at the end, he was still feeling grateful that he had been given a second chance at life and was still hoping that he could cultivate back to his previous level.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Yin Tiande remained calm and casually flicked out a ball of fire, burning the corpse to ashes.

Then a gentle breeze blew by, and the young Taoist boy left no trace whatsoever.

Yin Tiande remained calm and composed. He had tried his best, but he hadn't quite succeeded.

He said he had tried his best because he used several techniques to try to slow down the loss of life force in the young Taoist boy's body, but he was unsuccessful.

He didn't try his best because he had other means to try, but he didn't.

Because whether it's precious medicine or anything else, they are all consumables. Although you can try them, it's really unnecessary.

In Yin Tiande's view, those things were far more precious than a mere young Taoist boy.

After finishing the final cleanup work, Yin Tiande calmly stood up and looked at the ancient starry sky picture on the stone wall.

"So this is the visitor from outer space? Truly extraordinary..." Yin Tiande said calmly.

Suddenly he seemed more interested in those extraterrestrial visitors.

“Three powerful individuals who seem to be visitors from outer space, one from the Sendai Secret Realm, one from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and one from the Four Extremes Secret Realm…” Yin Tiande pondered.

He saw much further than others. While others were still eyeing those rare little beasts, Yin Tiande had already gathered a lot of information.

Yin Tiande even had some guesses about their origins.

However, one thing is certain: these three are all so-called extraterrestrial visitors. They do not belong to the Ziwei Star Region, but came here through other means.

However, he still had no clue about the specific origins of the visitors. He originally wanted to invite a visitor from outer space back to discuss the Dao with him and inquire about the visitor's origins, but he did not expect that the visitors from outer space would be so arrogant. Not only did they refuse him, they also killed one of his children, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Pass down the order to conduct a full-scale manhunt for these three," Yin Tiande said calmly.

Even though there was no one else in the Eight Trigrams Palace, a response rang out, "Yes, sir!"

On the other side, since Wang Teng directly suppressed the young Taoist boy from the Eight Views Palace, those who had been secretly chasing Wang Teng had already left without looking back.

They dared not offend the Eight Views Palace, much less this divine being who would attack the powerful members of the Eight Views Palace at the slightest provocation.

“The Eight Views Palace seems to be quite famous,” Yan Ruyu said.

Along the way, they had heard others mention this power more or less, but without exception, as soon as those three words were mentioned, everyone's face showed more or less respect and longing, as if being associated with this power was a great honor.

"Well..." Wang Teng hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to introduce this example to Yan Ruyu.

After a moment, he spoke, “It’s roughly equivalent to returning to Beidou and establishing a force in my own name. This Bajing Palace can then be comparable to that force.”

Yin Tiande can be considered the strongest among the younger generation in the Ziwei Star Region, so Wang Teng's use of him as an example is quite apt.

"I see." Yan Ruyu understood immediately.

If Wang Teng were to return to Beidou and establish a force, many people would probably scramble to join, and even the Holy Sons would likely want to join in some unconventional way.

"So, the master of the Eight Views Palace is the number one young person in the Ziwei Star Region?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It was true before we came, and it will be true after we leave." Wang Teng nodded.

They were walking through a large city when someone next to Wang Teng heard him say that. He looked up, then at Yan Ruyu beside him, his eyes filled with disdain. "Tch, what a braggart!"

Although Yan Ruyu concealed her true appearance with a veil, her temperament was not easily hidden. Even without her face, her temperament remained among the best.

It was obvious that the passerby thought Wang Teng was bragging to his female companion, so he couldn't help but make a disdainful remark.

"Young people should have some ambition, shouldn't they?" Wang Teng chuckled, not angry at all.

"Hehe." Yan Ruyu chuckled.

She rarely saw Wang Teng suffer a setback.

Back in Beidou, everyone knew about Wang Teng's strength and talent, so naturally no one questioned these things.

Even if Wang Teng said he was going to hunt down a certain ancient clan saint, no one would think he was exaggerating. Instead, they would eagerly await the result.

However, there are not many people in the Ziwei Star Region who know Wang Teng. The only one who is alive now who has fought with Wang Teng is the old sect master of Yunshan Sect. All the others who fought with Wang Teng are dead, so they naturally cannot know Wang Teng's true strength.

"How about we go to the Eight Views Palace?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It doesn't matter, let's just let things take their course," Wang Teng said casually.

It's a bit premature to beat up Yin Tiande right now.

In contrast, he would rather travel around.

While it may seem casual, he was actually quite purposeful, searching for traces left behind by the ancient Sun Emperor.

He possessed the Ancient Scripture of the Sun, and with his mastery of space and time, finding the traces left by the Ancient Emperor of the Sun was not too difficult. Even after millions of years, those traces were still faintly visible, as if guiding Wang Teng.

Two months later, Wang Teng arrived at a sea area.

Here, Wang Teng finally saw the person he wanted to see.

A group of children who looked like siblings were being chased by many people who wanted to kill them. If it weren't for a loyal old servant who risked his life to protect them, the two children would probably have been buried at sea long ago.

Moreover, not far away, Wang Teng saw Ye Fan again.

This guy seems to have survived the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Dragon Transformation Realm, and he also came here under some kind of mysterious guidance.

"Is this the protagonist's luck?" Wang Teng raised an eyebrow.
It seems Ye Tong is going to become a disciple of the Holy Body Sect after all; I can't have come all this way for nothing... (End of Chapter)
