From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 48: Encountering the Unscrupulous Taoist Priest Again
The next morning, the sun was rising, the morning glow was very soft, and it felt warm on people.

Si Chen walked on the street, looking at the passers-by, and had a different feeling.

Mortals are busy, and so are monks. In order to go further on the path of cultivation, they have to work hard all day long.

The so-called spiritual practice is actually a person enduring suffering in boredom in order to improve his realm a little bit.

Si Chen is a chaotic body, and it takes him three months to go from the second level of the Four Poles to the third level. What's more, ordinary cultivators often have to go into seclusion for more than ten years in order to break through a small realm.

The street suddenly shook. Si Chen turned around and saw nine strange beasts rushing in from the direction of the city gate. Each one was extremely magical. Some looked like unicorns, flashing purple light, and some looked like dragon horses, burning with flames all over their bodies.

The nine-headed beast was pulling an ancient chariot, on which a god-like being could be vaguely seen sitting.

One after another, powerful auras came riding on clouds and descended from the sky. Strong men from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty stepped forward to greet them.

The tranquility of the early morning was broken. Seeing the chariot, the monks on the street hurriedly retreated to the sides, watching it pass in silence.

"Who is this person? Why is he so majestic?" a monk asked quietly.

"He is the Supreme Protector of the Shimo Cult, a great king."

Everyone was extremely surprised. Here came another great king!
"There are so many important people coming these days, one after another. The lowest one is the Holy Son of a religion. We have to be careful and not offend anyone."

While they were discussing, another ray of light fell. This time it was a young man with long silver hair, blue eyes, a slender figure, and an original aura in his body that was different from that of humans.

"This is... the young master of Poseidon Island!" Someone recognized the young man's identity and exclaimed.

"He is from the eternal and great sect in the North Sea. It is rumored that he inherited the blood of the gods. I didn't expect him to come too."

"What's the big deal? I saw the Saint of Guanghan Palace yesterday!"

"Even people from remote continents come here to obtain the treasure of the Heavenly Lord."

As time went by, the news had already spread, and passers-by had already learned that the ancient relics were related to the Tianzun of the mythological era.

The inheritance of the ultimate level is a huge temptation, especially for the major forces on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

There were also countless independent cultivators who came to watch the fun, including cultivators at the Wheel Sea Realm.

Si Chen looked at the crowd for a while, recognized a few so-called "geniuses" of the younger generation, and then turned and left.

He still had things to do, so he walked around and finally came to the gambling stones shops of various major religions and dynasties.

According to the intelligence, the fat guy is hanging around here. It's not surprising, as the fat guy really likes places where there are treasures.

The place with the most treasures in the city is the gambling stone shop. If Si Chen remembers correctly, this guy is the founder of the source technique lineage.

Source Art is a supreme way created by the Underworld Emperor. The most powerful of them is the lineage of Yuan Tianshi. If one cultivates it to the extreme, he can change the world, reverse the destiny, and enshrine gods and immortals.

All major sects attach great importance to source arts, and their status in the cultivation world has always been very high, even surpassing refining equipment and alchemy at one point, because they can find mineral veins.

What is in the mineral veins? There is a large amount of pure source, which is the most basic resource of all major religions, and the source is the money of the cultivation world.

In addition to pure sources, there are also some stones in the veins, which may contain treasures that need to be mined by people, thus giving rise to the industry of gambling on stones.

The so-called gambling stone shops usually cover a large area and are surrounded by high walls. There are source stones everywhere, waiting for the monks to choose.

Ziwei Imperial Capital, as one of the largest cities in Shenzhou, naturally has stone archways among its buildings, which is a very popular thing nowadays.

At that site, various forces discovered a lot of strange stones, some of which were transported back to the sect, and some were placed in the stone shops opened by various forces. Si Chen visited several stone shops in a row, and finally met Duan De outside the stone shop opened by Ziwei Divine Dynasty. This fat Taoist priest had broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

He was seen with a sly look on his face, looking around outside the stone archway but not going in.

"Brother Duan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you so much!" Si Chen walked over, patted his shoulder very familiarly, and said with a smile.

Duan De was startled. Seeing that the person coming was a little brat, he immediately looked unfriendly: "Who are you? Whose child are you? Don't try to get close to me, the Taoist priest."

Si Chen changed his appearance, revealing the appearance of "Ye Chen".

"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Ye!" Duan De immediately changed his expression and smiled. "It's been a long time since we last met in the secret realm. How come you look so different? No wonder those people from the Golden Crow Clan didn't catch you."

"Oh, let's not talk about the past. I came to Shifang today to try my luck, but I didn't expect to run into you, fellow Taoist. What are you doing here?" Si Chen asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"I am just observing the qi," Duan De answered skillfully, and then extended an invitation, "It's a rare opportunity to meet an old friend, Fellow Daoist Ye, let's find a place to have a few drinks."

"it is good!"

The two hit it off immediately and walked towards the restaurant in the city arm in arm.

When they walked to a small alley, the fat Taoist priest was the first to change his expression. He stood in front of Si Chen with a big grin and stretched out his fat hand: "Daoyou, I heard that you got a piece of immortal gold in the secret realm. Is it true?"

"Really." Si Chen admitted decisively, catching Duan De off guard.

No, are you so sincere?
However, he was thick-skinned to begin with, and soon regained his composure. He stared at Si Chen non-stop, his face solemn: "There's something wrong with you."

"Master, what's wrong?" Si Chen asked knowingly.

"I see that your face is dark. You didn't have this look in the secret realm before."

"It seems that the piece of fairy gold is a very evil thing. You can't subdue it. Why don't you give it to me and let me subdue it?" The fat Taoist priest looked like a charlatan with a red face.

"No, Taoist Priest, since this immortal gold is such a dangerous thing, I can't harm you." Si Chen laughed secretly in his heart. This fat guy finally fell into the trap.

Duan De patted his chest and said in a serious tone, "I have the Taoist power, so I will definitely be able to suppress this piece of immortal gold, but it will cost a lot... When the time comes, I hope that fellow Taoist can think of me in a good way, I don't ask for anything else!"

It was so touching, but both of them could hardly hold back.

Si Chen almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but finally shook his head and refused: "I can't harm the Taoist priest."

Duan De narrowed his eyes and said, "For the sake of my fellow Taoist's safety, I have no choice but to suppress this piece of immortal gold myself."

He realized that the other party was playing dumb and there was no point in wasting time.

He has many secret weapons in his body. Activating a few of them should be enough to deal with this tough guy in front of him.

Si Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, and he pointed behind Duan De: "Master, there is someone behind you."

Duan De was unmoved, and looked carefree: "Young man, you are too young, do you think I will believe you?"

Until a hand touched his shoulder.

Duan De's face froze, he was no longer proud, he slowly looked behind him: "A...king of the Way of Slashing?"
