Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

Now, the Spirit Mountain is everywhere, filled with the essence of heaven and earth in the Ninefold Small World.

There are reclining unicorns and soaring cranes, exuding an ethereal aura.

Gai Jiuyou wandered among these mountains and rivers, stopping here and there. In his spare time, he would build a thatched hut and even cultivate a vegetable garden and a farmland at the entrance.

He wore a straw hat and a raincoat, seeking shelter from the rain like an ordinary person, and even ran to the fields when the rain was heavier.

He dug a gap in the ridge between the fields so that the water could flow out and prevent his carefully planted crops from drowning.

He was completely devoid of any worldly airs, truly returning to simplicity, like an old man from the mortal world.

But Wang Mingyuan could sense that Gai Jiuyou's entire body was like a seed of the World Tree.

Within that body, boundless and vigorous life essence was being nurtured, gradually taking root, sprouting, and breaking through the soil.

While he was in this area, he even seemed to be aging in reverse.

Originally, he had a full head of gray hair, wrinkled skin, and age spots, looking like he was about to die of old age.

But during the time he stayed there, Wang Mingyuan watched helplessly as the roots of Gai Jiuyou's hair began to turn black.

The wrinkles on her face are decreasing day by day, gradually disappearing.

Gai Jiuyou is gradually reversing his aging process and slowly recovering his golden years.

In the rain, Gai Jiuyou even sailed a small boat all night, wearing a straw hat and fishing with a fishing rod in the river.

Upon seeing Wang Mingyuan approach, Gai Jiuyou extended his index finger and put it to his lips in a shushing gesture.

He gently tapped the float in front of him twice, then suddenly plunged it downwards.

Gai Jiuyou raised his fishing rod, and the water surface split open, revealing a red carp that landed on the boat.

He smiled and put the fish into the basket.

"Fellow Daoist, your condition is getting better and better, you're becoming more and more like an ordinary person, rather than a cultivator!"

Gai Jiuyou, though living a carefree life like a hermit, fished and angled here.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, like a peerless immortal sword.

Everyone could see that it had simply been sheathed, not rusted or broken.

As he gradually came to live his second life, he seemed to have seen through many things and gained a deeper understanding of them.

His state of mind surprised even Wang Mingyuan.

Gai Jiuyou was initially cynical and wanted to break through all obstacles to have a life-or-death battle with the Azure Emperor.

But now he is at peace, and that boundless life force is accumulating and transforming within him.

After taking that step, he seemed to have changed a lot, yet he also seemed to have changed nothing.

Wang Mingyuan noticed all of these changes.

Wang Mingyuan noticed all these subtle changes clearly.

He has a clear understanding of living a second life and how to walk this path.

However, they were somewhat unable to grasp Gai Jiuyou's state, or rather, the changes in Gai Jiuyou's temperament.

"Don't you want to have a confrontation with the Azure Emperor?"

Although the occasion was inappropriate and the environment seemed a bit off, Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but ask that question.

Upon hearing this, Gai Jiuyou let out a long roar and laughed, a laugh that completely shattered his carefree and unrestrained demeanor, making him appear incredibly wild and unrestrained.

"How can my current path not be considered a unique confrontation with the Azure Emperor?"

"So, you've resolved the knot in your heart, and you no longer want to have a great battle with the Azure Emperor?"

Wang Mingyuan was curious.

Unexpectedly, Gai Jiuyou shook his head firmly after hearing this.

"No, just because I've come to terms with it doesn't mean I don't want to have a big fight with him and settle things!"

Hearing this, Wang Mingyuan's heart tightened. He was afraid that Gai Jiuyou would recover and become a top-notch stubborn kid again.

They insisted on going to the Qing Emperor's tomb to find the Desolate Tower, regardless of the consequences.

Then pull the Azure Emperor out of the desolate tower and have a showdown with him.

Unexpectedly, Gai Jiuyou's sharp gaze did not fall upon the location of the Eastern Wilderness Azure Emperor's Tomb.

Instead, they looked towards the other forbidden zones in the Eastern Wilderness.

"Let's deal with these things first."

How could I be left out of suppressing the most terrible and darkest upheaval in history!

Gai Jiuyou was calm and natural, yet his words carried boundless killing intent.

"If we can pacify one restricted area, or even multiple restricted areas."

How can this not be considered a myth?

Even the Azure Emperor couldn't achieve this, so if I were to do it now..."

He didn't say much, but his meaning was fully conveyed.

After this exchange, Wang Mingyuan was certain that Gai Jiuyou had indeed found a new path.

His mindset is very different from before.

Previously, Qingdi could be considered his fatal weakness.

Or rather, the Great Emperor was a taboo subject in his heart, and he was determined to prove that he was no less than any Great Emperor.

He had this sense of pride in him.

Therefore, during the dark and turbulent period in the original work, Gai Jiuyou tempered his blood essence to return to his youth.

It displayed an unparalleled legend, fighting to the death of a supreme being.

There had never been anything so legendary and exaggerated in the entire history of cultivation before that.

Gai Jiuyou's current mindset can be considered a true sign that he has moved on.

If Gai Jiuyou were to recover, it wouldn't be surprising if he were to directly attain Dao in the current world.

……

The cultivation world was silent, seemingly completely calmed down, but it also seemed that endless undercurrents were surging within.

Saint Body Ye Fan and one of the ancient princesses clashed in the starry sky, both stepping into the realm of Dao Severing.

Moreover, he went far into the Dao-Slaying Domain, and his combat power shocked all his peers.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang suppressed all his peers in Yaoguang.

He was even sealed within the divine source, and was known as the most outstanding genius, suppressing even the ancient Yao Guang Holy Son.

Thus, he directly took over this name.

He was called Yao Guang, and no one else was entitled to be called that.

In this era of shining stars, he has not faded into obscurity.

He even displayed the realm and strength of a Dao-Slaying King, shocking everyone.

Because he is yet another person to be listed on the Hidden Dragon List who does not possess a special physique or special bloodline.

He is a mortal.

The Northern Emperor Teng once challenged the Holy Son of Yaoguang to a duel, which took place in a secret realm within the Qishi Mansion.

The two were evenly matched, shaking the entire northern region.

Because the Northern Emperor Teng swept away all his opponents from the moment he was born.

He had already inherited the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor in his childhood.

He was carefully nurtured by a crane and his body was baptized with the most exquisite dragon blood essence.

There are even legends that it is the blood of a real dragon.

In addition to his special physique, his family also contains the bloodline of the Golden Lineage of the Tai Kingdom.

His physical body is considered top-notch among his peers, an absolute pinnacle.

He surpassed the younger generation early on and never compared himself to them.

He competed with the older generation of figures early on, even overshadowing the geniuses of the previous generation.

While the younger generation was still struggling in the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation realms, he had already entered the Sendai realm.

He became a top figure in the Sendai region.

His life story is unlike that of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor; rather, it resembles that of other ancient emperors who rose from birth to the pinnacle, undefeated and invincible. He is the nightmare of all cultivators in the Northern Lands.

Not only local figures believe that Wang Teng may attain enlightenment in the future.

Even cultivators from other regions, and many older figures from other regions, believed that he had the potential to become an emperor.

Such a person would be incredibly dazzling in any era.

As a result, he faded into obscurity during this era.

Now he can't even get into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

Although they are on the list, they are not among the most outstanding individuals.

The most outstanding individuals are not only top-tier in terms of talent and bloodline, but also far surpass others in cultivation level.

They had generally reached the Dao-Slaying Realm, but Wang Teng was actually lagging behind here.

While Wang Teng shone brightly across the entire Big Dipper, other young prodigies were still at the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation realms.

But in the blink of an eye, the tables turned, and he found himself lagging behind.

His battle with Yao Guang was evenly matched.

But not long after, Yuan Gu and Yao Guang Sheng Zi clashed while comprehending the legacy of their predecessors in a secret realm.

The two fought fiercely, with the Holy Son of Yaoguang displaying his cultivation at the Dao-Slaying Realm, even suppressing Yuan Gu at one point.

In the end, the two did not engage in a life-or-death struggle. Instead, they restrained each other and each occupied a separate area where they sought enlightenment.

Although they did not die, the incident was later spread and caused a sensation in the cultivation world.

The Northern Emperor Teng thus became a clown.

Later, a figure of the ancient prince level analyzed the battle between the Northern King Teng and the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

It is believed that the Holy Son of Yaoguang did not send his main body into battle, but instead sent out a Dao body from within the Dao Palace.

That is, he sent out one of the five internal organs' deities to fight against the Northern Emperor Teng.

Then the two sides were evenly matched.

This was a shock to those in the cultivation world.

After all, a single deity in the Dao Palace realm can unleash the power of a second-level immortal. It's unimaginable what level of power they have actually reached.

What's even more outrageous is that the Holy Son of Yaoguang had previously kept a low profile.

His encounters with many top figures were basically evenly matched, with no clear winner.

This was true with the Northern Emperor Teng, and it was true with everyone else as well.

Even in the secret realm, when he encountered an ancient prince, it was still the same, which is quite absurd.

It is widely believed in the cultivation world that the Holy Son of Yao Guang has concealed his strength and has not revealed his full power.

For the cultivation world, this is terrifying.

For Wang Teng of the North, this was a humiliation, a disgrace.

He claimed to have the potential to be an emperor, yet he couldn't even defeat a single physical body of another.

It's utterly disgraceful, a ridiculous farce.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.

He is now practicing the Divine Transformation Sutra, but he has also encountered a predicament.

The evolution of his origin has two directions, one of which is along the path of the human race.

He himself possesses human blood, and the divine body and royal body of the human race are naturally compatible with him.

There was no such option before, because he was not a top-tier, special divine body or royal body.

But now Baiyujing has launched a brand new physical fitness test.

It can help people match different levels of evolution of divine or royal bodies.

Currently, the options are very limited; the only path is to evolve towards a divine body.

But it is still a very good option for him; the other is to evolve into the Golden Race among the ancient races.

The Golden Ancient Clan also possesses the most outstanding lineage, among which an ancient princess appeared, and it was she who fought a great battle with Ye Fan.

The Golden Goddess was also renowned throughout ancient times.

He can work towards this goal, continuously purifying the bloodline of the ancient royal family within his body.

There had been this tendency within the family before, but he had suppressed it.

He wants to become a great emperor, not an ancient sovereign.

He really needed to rest and practice the Divine Transformation Scripture, and then fully activate the bloodline of the Primordial King within his body.

Their physical condition might improve, but whether they'll still be human in the future is another matter.

Therefore, he disagreed.

Now, a glimmer of hope has arrived, allowing for the enhancement into a divine body.

Those who make it onto the Hidden Dragon List have the opportunity and authority to exchange for the Celestial Man Map, provided they offer enough treasures.

Previously, the Heaven and Man Map was empty, but now it has been transformed into a completely new one.

Wang Teng stared at the option to exchange the origin map of the divine body and fell into deep thought.

That is a supreme treasure that can be passed down through generations. Once you have such an origin chart,

Then, generation after generation within the family, someone was willing to pay a huge price.

If enough treasures are collected and used for baptism, then divine bodies will appear in every generation.

Not to mention that if someone achieves a divine body through acquired means, the corresponding bloodline within their body will also change.

The offspring born will naturally possess the bloodline of a divine being.

This is the most unique and useful inheritance in the world, no less than an imperial scripture.

After all, possessing a Celestial Man Diagram would bring blessings to the entire family upon success.

The very first person who cultivated the Celestial Diagram may not have had a very high affinity with it.

Achieving a divine body or other physical constitution requires paying a great price.

But later generations, having his experience and lineage, could quickly master this skill.

Wang Teng stroked a piece of wood in his hand, lost in thought, and hesitated.

He is now close to severing his path, and this is his last chance.

Otherwise, once you become a Dao-Slaying King, there's no need to cultivate a so-called divine body.

But he also felt that this thing wasn't that valuable to him.

He was only inferior to the ancient princes and the emperor's son.

It's not even a difference in strength at the same level, but rather that their cultivation speed is a bit slow.

The divine body doesn't provide that much of a boost to him personally.

But his father strongly recommended it.

"If a family member can integrate the bloodline of the divine body, the family will be extraordinary for generations to come."

"This is a great thing for the family and for you personally."

Even if the divine body doesn't provide you with a huge boost, it will still cause some changes to you.

"Maybe it can even increase the speed of cultivation?"

……

In the vast universe, there is a special ancient land of life, which is also a gathering place for many gods.

In such an era, deep within the gathering place of this divine race, even the fluctuations of a quasi-emperor level emanated, which can be described as shocking the world.

Meanwhile, in the territory of the gods, gazing at the newly emerged Celestial Diagram, even the top experts among the gods were no longer so calm.

"To cultivate a divine body from the acquired to the innate?"

The most outstanding figures of this generation of the gods have a great reputation on the ancient path of the human race.

At that moment, I was completely absorbed in looking at the diagram.
