Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 103 Time Flies

Taiyin's lifespan in this lifetime is also incredibly long.

With just one lifetime of transformation, he can remain untouched by the passage of time.

Time flies like an arrow; more than 10,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, in the Eternal Starfield.

An aged figure sat cross-legged in the magnificent hall, surrounded by world-destroying power.

"My Lord, this is the limit of what we can do." A quasi-Emperor-level expert respectfully handed over a bottle of liquid.

The light blue glow shimmered, exuding an extraordinary aura.

This is an evolution fluid they developed using a wisp of divine blood.

If Dao Yan hadn't erased over 90% of the power, they wouldn't have been able to withstand even the pressure alone.

Genes are the code of life, and the cultivators of the Eternal Starfield are researching in this direction.

They studied the genes of the gods and discovered that more than half of them were beyond their reach.

After attaining enlightenment, life no longer follows the evolutionary logic of life.

Fortunately, they did gain something, achieving basic effects such as extending lifespan and improving physical strength.

Dao Yan waved his hand, dismissing everyone.

His divine sense swept over the bottle of light blue liquid, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Then, he let out a helpless sigh.

The decaying essence is the primordial spirit, which delays the decline of the physical body but is essentially of little use.

This is a field that cannot be understood without firsthand experience.

Just as Dao Yan was about to realize his third life according to the method of his predecessor, he suddenly thought of something and held it in his hand again.

His face was filled with excitement.

He overlooked a crucial point: the physical body and the primordial spirit are not completely separate; there is a tremendous connection between them.

If a newborn infant suffers a fatal injury, the inevitable outcome is death.

As he grew older, every part of his body aged.

The changes in both are synchronous.

Having understood the reasons behind it, Daoyan prepared to begin his own experiment.

Everything within the aquamarine liquid was laid bare in Dao Yan's eyes.

The things here have nothing to do with spiritual practice; they are purely the mysteries of life.

Decades have passed, and Daoyan has continued to deduce its essence.

He went even further than before.

A realm that only enlightened beings can enter.

After that, without much hesitation, he activated his own Daoist techniques and began his transformation in this life.

Technological cultivation!
The rosy clouds danced, the immortal energy circulated, and the supreme path erupted.

Over the course of a century, Dao Yan has elevated his own state to a critical point.

Every part of its most wondrous body shimmered with tiny points of light.

Beneath the glimmers of light, the life imprint within our bloodlines is undergoing transformation.

Under Dao Yan's guidance, all of this erupted completely.

The might of Heaven rolled down, its supreme power pressing down.

Dao Yan's aged body was rejuvenated once more, and ultimately, all these changes took place in the Sendai Secret Realm.

A faint connection binds the two together.

Amidst the massive impact, a significant portion struck the primordial spirit.

After accumulating to a certain extent, the primordial spirit is revitalized.

The overwhelming imperial might surged towards the heavens, accompanied by a chorus of mournful cries.

Success in another life!
Looking inward at himself, Dao Yan revealed a look of joy.

He found a path that suited him, and fundamentally completed his evolution.

The mysteries of life are endless, which means that as long as it discovers a new direction, it can continue to evolve.

It is somewhat similar to the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, but also different. How far one can go depends entirely on oneself.

Dao Yan's lifespan in this lifetime is a full 70,000 years, which is terrifying.

After Dao Yan lived through three lifetimes, only five thousand years had passed. The myriad paths of the universe were no longer visible, and spiritual energy was depleted.

The universe has begun another cycle.

The Heavenly Court, the land of the gods, has been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, and Li Xuan has never shown himself since.

Around him, chaotic energy swirled, terrifying power coalesced, and supreme power flowed within his body.

"call!"

With just the slightest movement, the surrounding void shattered inch by inch, unable to withstand this immense power.

“I will be able to live another life in no time,” Li Xuan said calmly.

This was something he hadn't expected; this day would come so quickly for him.

On his Immortal Pool, various Great Daos intertwined, until finally, one Great Dao encompassed them all.

As Li Xuan observed all these changes, he also gained a lot himself.

……

Fifty thousand years have passed. In a secret place in the Heavenly Court, Wang Bo awakens from his seclusion.

An aura that was out of step with this era emanated from him.

Within him, two completely different forces were colliding.

But in the end, his magic in this life was slightly inferior.

Wang Bo gained a lot from this experience, and with his own accumulation over the years, it is enough for him to successfully live out his next life.

This all lasted for thousands of years, during which Wang Bo brought himself to a special state.

The forces of this era collide with the forces of countless ages past, resulting in strange and continuous changes.

Behind him, a phantom appeared.

Its very appearance was met with the destruction of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth will not allow anything that does not belong to this era to appear.

Wang Bo glanced at it lightly, and the lightning tribulation instantly dissipated.

After the tribulation was over, Wang Bo began his transformation into his next life.

The Great Dao of Chaos erupted, enveloping the ancient immortal laws and contemporary laws together.

All of this didn't last long before Wang Bo began the next change.

The Chaotic Body is naturally compatible with all Daos and has an innate advantage in bearing all laws.

This allows these two methods to unleash most of their power.

Strange phenomena appeared frequently, Daoist sounds resounded, and even supreme phantoms evolved.

……

A thousand years have passed, and Wang Bo, activating his profound magic, has begun a true transformation.

As the life essence of the universe flowed into his body, it served as the basis for his transformation.

A massive amount of life essence flowed into the body, continuing for a hundred years.

All of this naturally attracted the attention of all living beings in the universe.

Everyone was curious about what would happen next.

Once everything was ready, Wang Bo made his astonishing leap.

In the clash between the past and the present, Wang Bo successfully seized a wisp of destiny.

An astonishing power erupted, blood energy pierced through the heavens, and supreme power suppressed all paths of the universe.

"boom!"

A tremendous collision occurred, and the powerful force tore through the heavens.

Enveloped in countless extraordinary phenomena, the majestic figure slowly rose to the heavens.

At that moment, the void trembled violently, and the phantom of a long river slowly appeared. The power of time flowing on it terrified all living beings.

The roar of the waves is deafening, carrying with it the boundless power of time.

"Time flows!"

Ancient creatures immediately recognized the illusory image of this long river.

Lingbao Tianzun looked at the illusory image of the long river with surprise on his face.

The Yin Emperor's expression was equally solemn; he didn't know why it had appeared here.

At that moment, a streak of light flew out from within the illusory image of the long river.

As it entered Wang Bo's body, streams of enlightenment were born.

These are the faint traces of the Dao etched by the river of time countless years ago, which now appear on their own after sensing the Dao traces on Wang Bo's body.

This strange change lasted for several days before finally ending reluctantly.

Wang Bo slowly opened his eyes, shooting out a brilliant light that pierced the heavens.

The gains in this life were so great that even he couldn't fully digest them all at once.

A century has passed, and Wang Bo has only just managed to digest most of it.

It would take at least tens of thousands of years for them to fully accept it.

Wang Bo's transformation was too extraordinary. Even back when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had not yet shattered, the River of Time could not appear in the world so easily.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the only person who can summon the phantom of the River of Time is the Carefree Celestial Venerable.

At that time, he had perfected the secrets of the Xingzi (行字秘).

Seeing the difficulties involved is one thing, but it's even more important to consider the implications of time itself.

……

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the environment remains harsh, with the powerful creatures lying dormant yet to emerge.

If it weren't for the existence of immortal forces in the world, people would likely regard those legendary supreme realms as mere legends, unattainable.

Heavens above, Li Xuan awoke once more.

Unlike before, the chaotic energy around him became increasingly dense.

At first glance, one might easily mistake him for a chaotic entity.

But he is still the Holy Body.

The chaotic aura was evolved from the Great Dao of Chaos.

Even his chaotic world underwent significant changes under the nourishment of this Great Dao of Chaos.

The Chaos Lotus planted there, in particular, has become even more extraordinary.

Li Xuan resonated with and merged the chaotic Dao that evolved above the Immortal Pool with his own Dao.

From that day onward, extraordinary changes occurred here every day, and everything developed in an unpredictable direction.

All of this lasted for a full fifty thousand years, with immense changes continuing unabated and catastrophic changes constantly taking place.

During this time, Daoyan came to visit.

Over the years, through his research, he discovered that his unique evolutionary path required a substance that did not belong to this world.

Through their deductions, the two determined that the substance Dao Yan would need next was the immortal substance.

Having learned the reasons behind it all, Dao Yan stepped onto the path to the strange world without hesitation, where he would complete the rest of his journey.

Dao Yan's departure did not affect Li Xuan's subsequent path of transformation; he continued on his journey.

Another tens of thousands of years have passed, during which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has revived for 20,000 years.

It was a magnificent era, and a weak being emerged from the edge of the universe, embarking on the path of cultivation like all its predecessors.

Rising from humble beginnings, he wasn't particularly noticeable on the ancient starry road at first, but then he obtained a supreme treasure in a secret realm.

It contains a method that cannot be mastered.

By embodying all principles, one will ultimately attain the highest position, no matter where one ends up.

Unfortunately, when the senior who created this method broke through to the Saint King realm, all the myriad paths exploded, turning into ashes.

If a young man who has obtained this method makes a firm decision to cultivate in a step-by-step manner, his future achievements are destined not to be particularly high.

Immediately, he made up his mind and began his cultivation according to the above method.

Some people are born to be protagonists. This young man made rapid progress after switching to this method.

In just a century, it has already earned a formidable reputation on the ancient road of the stars.

Centuries have passed, and the boy of yesteryear has grown into a supreme powerhouse who commands respect throughout the heavens and the earth.

By this time, he had already evolved that impossible method to an unbelievable degree.

All things were perfectly harmonious in his hands, showing no signs of erupting.

And so, with the resolve to die, he embarked on the greatest gamble of his life.

During the tribulation of enlightenment, all the flaws of this method were exposed, and the powerful backlash nearly caused his demise.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he stopped his losses in time, leaving behind the path that best suited him, and thus became an emperor.

The long years that followed ushered in a unique era of his rule.

However, time is merciless, and the young emperor finally came to the end of his life.

Unwilling to let his life end like this, he took up the ultimate imperial weapon and forcibly opened the path to immortality in his later years.

Finally, accompanied by a shower of light, it disappeared from the world.

On this day, deep within the Heavenly Court, in a secret place that had been silent for countless years, a tremendous change occurred.

The universe resonated in harmony, and countless celestial lights flew into it, where unparalleled power erupted.

Wang Bo noticed all of this and a terrible thought came to mind.

"The eighth generation is about to begin!"

Just as he had guessed, the most powerful force in the universe erupted at that moment, instantly piercing through the heavens.

At this moment, Li Xuan was enveloped in a power that did not belong to the mortal world.

"Reverse life and death, and the cycle of eight lifetimes begins!"

At this moment, streams of complex runes erupted, transforming into a rain of light that filled the sky. Then, a tidal wave of life essence combined with these runes and returned to his body.

A surge of blood energy pierced through the heavens and earth, its world-destroying power tearing the universe apart.

This change is so revolutionary that it's hard not to attract attention.

"Is the Heavenly Emperor going to take that step?"

"To have survived for hundreds of thousands of years is simply a living myth."

All living beings in the universe are watching this place, wanting to know what will happen next.

With each impact, countless cracks appeared on Li Xuan's body, a terrifying sight.

But he did not stop there; instead, he continued to push it all forward.

"boom!"

After everything shattered, a ball of light flew out from the old man's body, containing the insights he had gained over the years.

As the life essence flowed in frantically, the ball of light gradually changed, beginning to reshape everything.

……

After the final part was completed, Li Xuan used a secret technique to completely integrate everything.

The overwhelming imperial might swept across the heavens and the earth, and all spirits trembled upon feeling its supreme power.

Lingbao Tianzun looked in that direction and said quietly, "Just as I guessed, you will not stay in this life for too long."

After a long while, all of this disappeared, and peace returned.

At this moment, Li Xuan exuded an aura of transcendence.

"Endless lifespan, that is immortality!"

He felt confident that he could kill even a true immortal directly.

True immortals are born from the complete rules of heaven and earth, and from endless immortal matter.

They are far inferior to beings like them who struggle to survive in the mortal world.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Xuan shattered the endless void, unable to withstand this supreme power.

　Apart from the protagonist's transformation, the rest of the characters are only briefly mentioned in the later plot.
