From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 49: Ziwei Stone Archway
"Boy, who the hell are you?"

Duan De was a little confused. At this moment, the second elder was behind him, controlling him.

The second elder had no expression. To him, capturing a Four-Pole cultivator was a perfectly normal thing.

"I'm not a big force. To be honest, I come from the Ancient Sun Cult in the east. My status is not high either. I'm just the Son of God of this generation."

Si Chen also had a smile on his face. This was the Underworld Emperor. Although he had become like this now, he was once an extremely powerful emperor, the teacher of the Emperor, the Tribulation Heavenly Lord, and a great figure that even the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone had to be wary of.

To round it off, I caught a great emperor.

At first, Duan De still had a smile on his face, but after hearing about the power behind Si Chen, his face instantly fell, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

I didn't expect it to be the Son of God of the Ancient Sun Religion, and now I'm in trouble.

"Aren't you from the Hezhou Ye family?"

Compared with the Ye family far away in Hezhou, the Ancient Sun Sect is a behemoth, and the key is right before our eyes.

If he had not been controlled by the Second Elder, Duan De would have run away long ago. He discovered tragically that a blockade formation had been set up in this alley since someone unknown.

There was no way to escape now. This was a trap, a trap set for him. Duan De suddenly realized it.

He felt bitter in his mouth. It was really that serious. Even the King of the Slashing Dao had to be dispatched to deal with him, a fourth-level cultivator.

It was also because he was not prepared. He originally planned to rob Si Chen, but ended up falling into a trap instead.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have come to Ziwei Imperial Capital. It was the news of the ancient treasure being opened that attracted him.

"I never thought I could meet the Son of God of the Ancient Sun Cult. I am truly honored. I just lost my composure. I hope the Son of God will forgive me."

"The statement about Wuliang Tianzun and the great evil creature may be my misunderstanding. It is not accurate."

Duan De calmed himself and forced himself to explain. No matter whether Si Chen and the Second Elder believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

"I have a special affinity with the Taoist priest. We discussed the terrain of mountains and rivers together in the secret realm before. The Taoist priest is very knowledgeable and has broadened my horizons."

"I wonder if you can go back with me and study the art of Feng Shui with me." Si Chen said.

The second elder looked at the shameless Taoist priest. He had also heard of this Taoist priest's name. He was more powerful than some masters. He had cooperated with various major religions several times, although they had fallen out later.

Duan De's face was stiff, and he smiled but his face was not smiling: "Son of God, you are joking. I don't have the ability to be your teacher. Today's incident was just a misunderstanding. How about you let me go?"

How could Si Chen let him go? He had caught this fish with great difficulty.

"Let me think about it."

The second elder looked displeased. In his eyes, although this Taoist priest had some skills, he was too tactless.

Duan De broke out in a cold sweat. If Si Chen really tied him up, there would be nothing he could do. In this situation, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to escape.

Otherwise, you should just cooperate and find a chance to escape.

"Master Taoist, how about this, let's go to Ziwei Stone Shop together to gamble on some stones and have some fun first, how about that?" Si Chen called him Master Taoist all the time, giving Duan De enough face.

This Taoist priest hangs around outside various stone archways all day long, he must be asking for something.

It just so happens that Si Chen can also use Duan De's source technique to gamble on stones. Yes, the amnesiac Duan De has the source technique. Although it is not as good as that of Yuan Tianshi, it is almost the same as those old monsters from the source technique family.

After all, he was the Source Emperor in his previous life and the ancestor of source arts and Feng Shui.

This fat guy really has many aliases, including Heavenly Lord of Tribulation, Lord of Hades, Emperor of Hades, and Emperor of Source... Hearing this, Duan De's face suddenly became happy and his face was flushed again: "Okay, it's my honor to go gambling on stones with His Highness the Son of God."

The stone archway opened by the Ziwei Divine Dynasty is the largest among all the stone archways, and has a No. 1 Stone Garden at its deepest point.

When you enter, what comes into view is a garden planted with various ancient trees, entwined with ancient vines, and lush flowers and plants.

The scenery here is beautiful, with fairy mist lingering around. The area is incredibly large, with as many as thirty-six large courtyards. Piles of stones are placed in the garden, but they don't look out of place at all.

There are many people who gamble on stones, including white-haired old men, middle-aged people with plain looks, and young monks with imposing bearing.

Because of the ancient relics, many people were attracted here, including many big names.

These white-haired old men are basically the supreme elders of various major forces. In their twilight years, their energy and blood are declining. They usually have nothing to do, so they like to visit the stone archways, hoping to cut out a "hope".

They looked extremely old, but no one dared to look down on them, and the leaders of all the major religions had to show respect to them.

When Si Chen brought Duan De into the stone garden, they immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. It was because the Taoist priest with a wealthy face was too eye-catching.

"It's that fat Taoist priest, is he crazy?" Someone recognized Duan De, but didn't expect that he dared to expose himself in front of everyone.

This fat Taoist priest was notorious in central Shenzhou. Anyone with a modicum of fame had heard of him. He was famous for digging graves.

No one knew where he came from, but they only knew that he had dug up the ancestral graves of many religious sects and they hated him to the core.

Especially the Xuantian Sect, whose leader ignored all the affairs within the sect in order to hunt him down.

Fighting is strictly prohibited inside the stone archway, but the major sects can set up ambushes outside.

"Who's that guy next to him?"

"I don't know, but who can be a good person if he hangs out with this fat Taoist priest?"

Duan De didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He looked at the stone garden with great interest, "It's worthy of being a stone garden opened by the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. It's so magnificent that it can't be compared with ordinary stone gardens."

After passing through more than a dozen courtyards, the two men stopped only when they reached the eighteenth-floor courtyard.

This courtyard is planted with a sacred tree surrounded by purple mist. The fairy mist is floating and there is a quiet atmosphere in the air, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

The stones on the ground were contaminated by the mist and became unpredictable, which made it difficult for people to judge whether there was anything inside the stones.

This is also the routine of major religious sects. They will set up obstacles on the stones to increase the difficulty for people to make judgments.

At the same time, these stones cannot be taken back and cut by oneself, they can only be cut here. This is the rule set by the major sects.

This is a rigid rule, and no one knows when it started. Some people speculate that it was because the descendants of the Source Art families at that time made the major sects suffer a lot and were cheated by gambling, so they summarized the Source Art for this reason.

At the same time, they also want to know what magical items have been opened so that they can buy them directly.

Duan De squatted on the ground and searched slowly. There were a lot of source stones here, but most of them had nothing in them, and there were only a few valuable ones.

He soon found his target, which was an inconspicuous stone in the shape of a millstone.

Si Chen looked at the price marked next to it: 1,500 kilograms of source, but the stone in front of him didn't seem to be that heavy.

The stone here is already very expensive. One pound of stone is equivalent to a hundred pounds of source. Only cultivators above the fourth level can afford this price, or they must come from a large sect.
