Covering the sky: Starting from the Golden Crow of the Holy Cliff

Chapter 300 The Sacred Body and the Dao-Merging Flower, the Primordial Spirit Achieves Dao in an Alternative Way

A shower of light fell, and a young man, a warrior, swept across the land. Beneath his feet, in the dim land beyond the blood-soaked rain, an even more magnificent scene emerged.

The twenty-four heavens stretched out, the Daoist coffin floated and sank, the abyss was pitch black, statues of gods were everywhere, and countless souls chanted scriptures to bury the Xuanming Ancient Emperor. The scene was blurry, like a picture frozen in the twilight under the blood-stained setting sun.

The blood of the ancient emperor was flowing, becoming a river that swept across space after space, cold and terrifying!
This extraordinary sight, along with the fragments of the battle, became eternal, known to the world, and trembled throughout the land.

As the light mist gradually subsided, only Yan Ming remained standing alone under the starry sky, slaying the master of the forbidden zone, striking the Primordial Emperor, and sinking the evil aura nurtured by the Ancient Heavenly Venerable. His invincible power was on full display.

At this moment, the Divine Ruins were deathly silent, the Immortal Tomb was silent, the heavens disappeared, and even the Primordial Ancient Mine trembled slightly and withdrew its divine light.

A silent standoff begins, with the four forbidden zones showing signs of uniting.

Behind them, the Western Emperor, the Holy Body, and the other two attacked together, engulfing the severely injured Ancient Emperor of Undying Mountain. In particular, the Immortal Bell fell, and with a clang, cracks appeared again in his already broken body.

A spear cleaves through eternity, dazzling and captivating, leaving a trail of eerie crimson!

This battle came to an end. The last supreme being of the Undying Mountain was killed, the universe was roaring, his Dao dissipated, and his god turned to ashes.

He was supposed to be born on the path to immortality on the Flying Immortal Star. Among his descendants, some were known as the Three Gods of the World, who slaughtered the world hundreds of years later. But now, he is accompanied by a pitiful struggle. In his final moments, all that remains is desolation and that shocking smear of blood!

On this day, the sun crows migrated in their entire clan, and the endless crow spirits, like a golden ocean, swept across the universe and surged to the foot of the Undying Mountain.

Moreover, the remains of the Heavenly Court Sacrifice Cliff and the Eastern Wilderness Sacred Cliff roared and rose from the ground, all flying into the Undying Mountain, the three of them sharing the same origin.

"With the Stone Emperor gone, the Undying Mountain is now empty. My ancestor is now the Lord of the Holy Spirit Clan, in charge of the rise and fall of the human world. This place shall be his palace where he reigns over the world and patrols the four directions. From this day forward, it shall be the Enlightenment Mountain!"

A thunderous roar shook the universe as a king of the Dark Heavenly Court, standing atop the Big Dipper, used the Chaos Bell to transmit divine messages to all races, causing a stir throughout the world.

Has the forbidden zone of life on Undying Mountain come to an end just like that?
People once again lamented that there are no immortal forbidden zones, nor eternal glories; everything must eventually come to an end.

This forbidden land, which has existed since the mythological era, once dominated the world in the ancient times. More than one forbidden prince and ancient emperor launched a dark turmoil, forcing the Void Emperor to fight a bloody battle all his life and almost perish. How powerful it was! In the end, the Stone Emperor died, and the lineage left behind by the emperors still had to fall.

"The false lineage of the Holy Spirit dares to steal the legitimate tradition of my people!"

With the seal broken, during the process of entering the Enlightenment Mountain, several ancient emperors with bloodlines were unruly and defiant. They roared in their quasi-emperors' bodies and refused to submit, even when facing a royal fire spirit and more than ten dark quasi-emperors.

"I have no intention of killing, but I will not tolerate provocation." Yan Ming appeared, looking down upon the heavens and the earth, his whole body radiating golden light, his blood aura soaring to the sky, making everyone's soul tremble.

Behind it, endless crow spirits roared and surged, among which even Great Sage-level Golden Crow Spirits were born, covering the sky and almost submerging the Big Dipper Starfield.

With a single finger, the kneecaps of the three ancient princes shattered instantly, causing them to kneel heavily, utterly unable to contend with a supreme being.

The chaos was quickly quelled.

At the Sacred Cliff of the Central Region, the Investiture of the Gods fluttered in the wind, and a mournful roar echoed throughout the Big Dipper. The primordial spirit of the Immortal Daoist was extracted, only a step away from his physical body, but they could never touch each other again for all eternity.

The Four Dark Emperors made their move and trapped the Immortal Daoist inside the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

At the edge of the sky, Ye Yishui's full head of black hair moved without wind, the Boundless Bell above her head, and now she held a Investiture of the Gods in her hand.

"With one emperor in power, the world is at peace!"

The Boundless Bell opened its mouth, its waves reverberating, causing many saints to collapse to the ground and even causing many old sect leaders to experience a surge of qi and blood, nearly causing them to prostrate themselves.

People know that it is the weapon of the Great Emperor Wushi, hidden in Purple Mountain. As for the young man holding the bell, he actually obtained the Wushi Bell. Could he be the successor of that Great Emperor? He was born in this life.

Even the gods in the Investiture of the Gods sighed, for their mission to fill the path to immortality had ended once the turmoil subsided.

Emperor Yan offered the immortal Daoist his ancient imperial blood, making it difficult for the Daoist to refuse. The great calamity currently raging in the Yinghuo Sea was no secret, and the Heavenly Court used the Spiritual Treasure Sword Formation to seal it off.

The next time it opens, everything will be turned upside down.

"We should also make proper preparations." The two imperial weapons transmitted their voices, indicating that they would also join the battle on the day of Mars, and were prepared to perish together.

As for Ye Yishui, some close friends hoped that he would remain secluded and shine in the future to attain the status of an emperor, but he refused.

"I hope to achieve great success as soon as possible and contribute to clearing the penalty area."

Deep within the rebuilt Heavenly Village, Ye Fan heard this, nodded, and said nothing more. He had never doubted Yi Shui's talent.

"I am no match for the Earthly Palace, the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and the Undying Mountain in a single day..." Ye Fan murmured, gazing at the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Immortal Tomb, the Celestial Realm, and the Divine Ruins—the last few forbidden zones.

He was almost about to break through to the Ninth Heaven. The special laws within his body were surging, and there was a nascent form of myriad paths, so dense that it could not be dispersed, threatening to trigger the Great Emperor Tribulation at any moment, but he managed to suppress it.

Ye Fan withdrew his gaze and pondered silently, recalling his gains in the ancient bronze coffin, where he had obtained a divine flower.

A flower that has only appeared once in history. Legend has it that if you stand near it the moment it first blooms, you will attain enlightenment and become an emperor.

That day, he almost reached the Quasi-Emperor level just by smelling the fragrance. If he were to truly merge with it, he might actually attain enlightenment on the spot.

But Ye Fan held back.

If that's the case, then his achievements in life can only go so far. Without his own arduous cultivation and enlightenment, what can he gain by relying on external things to break through directly?
Even if they achieve enlightenment, they are mostly the weakest of the Great Emperors.

Ye Fan wanted to possess strength comparable to a supreme being and wanted to achieve greatness as soon as possible, but when the opportunity came his way, he hesitated. All of this was so contradictory.

Then, an imperial law manifested, freezing the Dao-Merging Flower in an eternal moment, merging it into his body, allowing him to slowly refine it.

Everything happened so strangely!

What a coincidence!

So smooth...

Ye Fan ultimately chose to accept it, hoping to burn out his life amidst the darkness and turmoil. Unexpectedly, the most terrifying bloodshed and chaos in history was quelled.

However, the Hedao Flower has already begun to merge, and this process is irreversible.

If he wanted, he could trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation at any time, but he was unwilling to do so, as achieving enlightenment in this way would indeed be suspected of usurping the throne.

"So what? In this world, those who do not follow the imperial path will ultimately be nothing but ants. You are the true destined emperor. The Dao-Merging Flower has taken the initiative to recognize you as its master. This is the will of Heaven. How can the will of Heaven be defied?" In a secret room, Li Xiaoman's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

Lin Jia and the others nearby also cast their gazes, all hoping that he would achieve enlightenment.

As their bedmates, Ye Fan's internal changes could not be kept secret from them.

"The forbidden zones are currently in turmoil, and even the Heavenly Court alone cannot maintain stability. If it weren't for the emergence of that Holy Spirit from the Immortal Ruins last time, our efforts might have been in vain. This world truly needs a Great Emperor to appear!"

Despite everyone's earnest advice, they said that these past years have been very difficult, marked by repeated upheavals.

"In the struggle for imperial power, the most capable come first; there is no reason to yield."

Even Ye Yishui's mother expressed her opinion, believing that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles, so how could they give up at this time?
"Although the Heavenly Court's supreme beings have performed great deeds, their power is insufficient. The emergence of the forbidden zone supreme beings has still caused countless calamities. If there were a Great Emperor present, countless lives could be saved..."

The words of the Dao Embryo Woman were deafening, shaking Ye Fan to his core. It was as if the shackles on his heart had been broken, the cage had been shattered, and he had returned to his true self.

Undoubtedly, these words had a powerful impact, causing him to re-examine his true self.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered as he recalled those star regions where the Supreme One had slaughtered them. How could he forget those scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with bones piled high like mountains?
For the sake of the common people, how could mere empty fame bind him?

"I'm going into seclusion for a hundred years," Ye Fan said, his eyes brighter than ever before.

……

Mount Undying, or perhaps Mount Enlightenment, hangs high above the Big Dipper, becoming the center of the universe. The Sea of ​​Reincarnation has become its moat, and all the emperors of the Heavenly Court have established their grottoes and settled here.

Clearly, this is a grand vision!

With the Heavenly Palace built at the entrance of the Northern Dipper Life Forbidden Zone, even the ancient supreme beings would be wary, and the other forbidden zone children would be even more terrified and dare not emerge.

All the turmoil in the world thus came to an end.

The Heavenly Court did not change as a result. It remained the same as before, overlooking all the heavens and myriad realms, forming its own world, and only entering the mortal realm when searching for certain rare materials.

Yan Ming pacified three forbidden zones in a single day, earning an unparalleled reputation. People from all directions of the universe came to pay homage. Even though he had not yet attained enlightenment, some people had already called him "Emperor Yan".

A century has passed in the blink of an eye since that battle that swept through the penalty area.

During this time, Yan Ming refined the essence and blood of the emperors, constantly consolidating and comprehending the Dao. His own state reached its current peak, and he took another step forward in the Ninth Heaven, truly deserving the title of a supreme being.

He did not rush to achieve enlightenment, but chose another path, intending to integrate his primordial spirit blood into his limbs and bones.

Not content with the transformation of the skull into immortal gold, it wished to transform into a true golden being of the Dao Tribulation.

Although he didn't succeed completely, he still broke through and introduced the Dao Tribulation Immortal Liquid into his heart. He almost shattered because of this and had never suffered such a serious injury before.

The discovery of the Sacred Body of the Sacred Cliff greatly shocked the people, so they invited Laozi, the ancestor of alchemy among the pre-Qin Qi cultivators, to refine a batch of Nourishing Yuan Pills.

In fact, Yan Ming's internal cultivation of the Undying Scripture allows him to gradually recover as long as he doesn't perish.

After ten years of recuperation, he underwent a profound transformation, achieving a unique path to enlightenment for his primordial spirit and complete perfection in his physical body, reaching the pinnacle of his life and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Golden Crow, the dual-path fruit sun from the ancient times.

Throughout history, only a handful of Holy Spirits, Holy Bodies, and Hegemon Bodies have reached this stage, such as the Holy Hegemon Ancestor and the Martian Holy Bodies.

Relatively speaking, he is stronger than he was a hundred years ago. After achieving the Great Perfection of the Holy Spirit, he transcended and became truly invincible in heaven and earth!
"The rest is just a matter of slowly melting the blood; it's not something that can be done overnight, it requires constant dripping."

Yan Ming muttered to himself, deep in thought, wanting to use the tribulation of attaining enlightenment to break free from the old ways, to transform into a divine embryo, and to reverse the tribulation to become a golden holy spirit.

He did not value the Heavenly Heart Mark, believing that there was still potential to be tapped. If he were to truly achieve success, he might be able to surpass all paths. Even if someone else had already attained the Dao, he would not be afraid, as this would provide him with another layer of tempering.

Compared to achieving the highest level of enlightenment, Yan Ming is more focused on how to unlock his third life.

The Divine Embryo Technique of the Undying Heavenly Art is worth learning from...

During his seclusion, the Heavenly Court developed rapidly, Japan spread everywhere, faith was united, and the establishment of an immortal religion became a reality. Every day, grand chanting could be heard from the altars of the Heavenly Court.

There are two bells there. In addition to the Immortal Bell, there is Yan Ming's Chaos Bell, which is stained with the essence and blood of more than ten supreme beings. Over the past hundred years, it has been transformed into an imperial artifact and placed on the temple to receive the power of faith from all directions. The faith inside is as vast as the sea and as boundless as chaos.

The power of faith transformed into a liquid, vast and boundless, causing the Chaos Bell to undergo a metamorphosis, becoming increasingly wondrous. However, Yan Ming never used a single ounce of it, allowing it to accumulate.

Within the bell, the power of faith forms a divine embryo, and a person exactly like Yan Ming is being conceived!
Yan Ming spearheaded this process, planting a wisp of Yin Wu's soul light within it.

He wanted to fulfill his vow from the past and spend the years with it.

Over the years, the Heavenly Court has been thriving, everything is on the right track, and good news keeps coming in.

Yan Ming's second son, Yan, comprehended part of the pill formulas from the Ancient Heavenly Court's Purple Jade Pill Room, underwent a complete transformation, and became a Quasi-Emperor, thus achieving the rank of (quasi)Emperor-level alchemist.

Yang Xi, Hua Yunfei, and others also broke through to higher realms one after another, and each had their own cave dwelling in the Heavenly Palace Cluster.

Jiang Caixuan, who had disappeared for many years, has reappeared in the world. Back then, she was being hunted down and suffered an incurable injury. She accidentally fell into the rift of the Chaos Dragon's Nest and perished.

After Jiang Yifei advanced to the quasi-emperor level, he has been searching for his sister all these years, traveling throughout the universe in hopes of bringing her back. Finally, the Great Perfection Holy Body intervened, using his own blood as a guide, which allowed him to sense the place where his sister had been lost.

Only a slender skeleton remained there, but the soul light had not yet dissipated, and there was also a fragment of an ultimate scroll.

The girl had a stroke of luck before she died, coming into contact with the four blood-stained vermilion imperial coffins, but her fate was not long enough, and she could not survive the calamity.

In any other era, this would have been a human tragedy, but in this life it is completely different, as Jiang Caixuan has been brought back.

"How come you've become even more aged than Father..." When Jiang Caixuan saw her brother with his white hair flowing down his shoulders and no longer had the spirit of youth, she couldn't help but smile, but her eyes were glistening with tears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifei simply nodded. Not being able to protect his younger sister in the past was a lifelong regret for him.

Fortunately, he had another chance.

“Sister Caixuan, all these years, Yifei has been searching for you, even going to great lengths to summon an ancient ancestor to sense your soul light,” Jiang Yifei’s Daoist partner said, holding her sister-in-law’s soft hand…

Yan Ming came alone to a courtyard, which was An Miaoyi's residence and was always very quiet.

The couple didn't have many children, a stark contrast to Jiang Tingting's lineage. Over the years, they only had Xiaoxiao as their sole heir.

In the courtyard, there is a transplanted Yin Wood from the underworld, which has amazing effects on water cultivators. Xiao Xiao has a palace on it, and she has inherited more of her mother Cai Lin's bloodline.

"Grandfather, you've come." Xiao Xiao has grown up and become very beautiful. Over the years, she has been accompanying her grandmother, An Miaoyi. She is pure of heart and does not care much about power.

Yan Ming nodded, and soon someone came from afar, calling Xiao Xiao to undergo the Blood Awakening Tempering.
