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

Chapter 94 The Birth of Wushi
After seeing off Wutian and the Western Emperor, Li Xuan stayed in the world for thousands of years before continuing his seclusion.

How many autumns have passed in this mortal world? How many sages have turned to ashes?

If one does not become an immortal, one will ultimately become a handful of yellow earth, leaving only a long, mournful sigh.

In the outside world, all paths are obscured, and the Dharma-ending Age has begun.

Countless cultivators spend their entire lives without ever reaching that supreme realm.

Countless years had passed when Li Xuan, who was in seclusion in the Heavenly Court, received a message from Yun Tian.

"I have discovered a Holy Spirit with an extraordinary background."

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised that Yun Tian had fallen into a deep sleep hundreds of thousands of years ago.

He had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs, and the fact that he had come to him now meant that the Holy Spirit he had discovered must be extraordinary.

The Holy Land has been tainted by too much bloodshed and has yet to recover.

This made him even more curious about the heaven-defying holy spirit that Yun Tian had mentioned.

The golden road erupted, its imperial might overwhelming, pointing towards the North Star.

In the blink of an eye, they traversed all realms and descended upon the Undying Mountain.

The Undying Mountain remains exactly the same as it was tens of thousands of years ago.

The dark mountain range stretches endlessly, majestic and imposing, containing the secrets of the universe.

"Fellow Daoist, please!" Yun Tian personally came to greet him.

Compared to his younger days, he now has a lot of white hair, looks exhausted, and has lost most of his energy.

"The changes are quite significant," Li Xuan remarked.

The two ventured deeper into the tea plantation and finally stopped under the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Yun Tian cut to the chase: "Does fellow Daoist believe in reincarnation?"

Li Xuan shook his head. He believed he was invincible in this world, and no matter how time changed, he would never perish.

Yun Tian recalled the past, a sense of vicissitude showing in his eyes, and said, "In the past, there was a method in the Immortal Realm that was for those who became immortals."

Even the most immortal beings, who are said to be immune to the ravages of time, can still perish.

Ancient powerful beings created a method to transform living beings into stone embryos.

Buried in the passage of time, awaiting the day when, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, it will be born as a Holy Spirit.

They were no longer the same people they were in their previous lives; they were holy spirits born of heaven and earth.

"I look forward to the day when I can reawaken my memories of my past life and return!" Yun Tian said slowly. "There is a humanoid stone embryo in the Undying Mountain."

Li Xuan understood Yun Tian's meaning after only a moment's thought.

There are many perfect holy spirits in the world, but humanoid stone embryos are even more difficult to be born than perfect holy spirits.

It's not that humanoid stone embryos can't be born, but the fact that one is born every so often is very abnormal.

There is a very high probability that he is the reincarnation of an ancient great being, or at least a being who has entered the realm of immortality.

"Was it born of heaven and earth?" Li Xuan asked the crucial question.

"That's it!"

When Li Xuan took out the golden fragment, it caused a tremor in the Undying Mountain.

It was a stone embryo that he had retrieved from the chaos, and it was nurtured in the Undying Mountain.

Initially, the stone core had no shape and was indistinguishable from the random rocks in the mountains.

Ever since the Undying Mountain trembled due to the golden fragments, the stone embryo gradually began to change, developing into a human form.

"This thing has an unusual origin. As for being naturally grown, that's impossible. There's no such coincidence in the world."

Li Xuan guessed that this thing was likely the reincarnation of an ancient powerful cultivator. Originally, the other party's path of transformation had failed, but the appearance of the golden fragment helped the other party.

It's about bringing a being back on track, even if it should be lost in the passage of time. But whether it can awaken memories of its past life is up to fate.

"It's not much different from what I guessed, but you should think carefully, this thing is very demonic." Yun Tian's voice carried a hint of apprehension.

His deteriorating condition over the years is largely due to that humanoid stone fetus.

The humanoid stone embryo instinctively devoured everything, and Yun Tian was the first to be affected.

"I want to see just how monstrous this thing is."

Yun Tian didn't say much. He reached out and grabbed a streak of light that flew out from the Undying Mountain and landed in front of the two of them.

Ancient patterns are carved on the stone core. The outermost stone skin is plain and unremarkable, but the inside contains a world of wonders.

"interesting!"

Li Xuan placed one hand on the stone figure, his magical power penetrating the outer stone skin to see everything inside.

"A monkey!" Li Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

He had expected it to be a humanoid creature, but it turned out to be a monkey.

"A monkey!?" Yun Tian was equally surprised.

After seeing the creature inside, Li Xuan withdrew his magic power.

Using the method of deduction and interpretation, we want to see clearly the origin of this holy monkey.

Runes were scattered all over the ground, and dazzling celestial light illuminated the heavens and earth.

Suddenly, a terrifying scene appeared before their eyes.

That was a figure who fought against heaven and earth, wielding a long staff, whose powerful force instantly tore apart a great boundary.

The scene lasted only a moment, and then a terrifying, world-destroying power erupted from the heavens and earth, threatening to kill them right there.

Li Xuan felt a jolt, and the backlash from the passage of time vanished completely.

"Celestial beings!"

Yun Tian couldn't determine the specific level.

"There are too many uncertainties in this kind of thing. Whether it can be born smoothly is another matter, and it is even more difficult to awaken the memories of the past life." Li Xuan said, explaining the difficulties.

He then tried to deduce more about the origin of the monkey in the stone, but to no avail.

……

"Where are you at now?" Yun Tian asked about Li Xuan's condition.

"It's almost there; we're not far from that realm."

Yun Tian's expression shifted; he was well aware of the difficulties of becoming an immortal.

Even back when the Immortal Realm was not shattered, it was virtually impossible to become a True Immortal in less than several million years.

But the person in front of me has a talent that is almost defying the heavens.

"Don't die."

After leaving those words, Li Xuan took the stone monkey and left.

……

A thousand years passed, and the stone monkey was placed in the heavens.

This place has always been the best in terms of terrain, which greatly helped in the birth of the stone monkey.

Only God knows exactly when it will be born.

"Time is the cruelest knife."

In the years that followed, Li Xuan continued to deduce the laws of his next life, preparing for his transformation in the next life.

During his seclusion, the Banner of All Spirits absorbed the power of faith from all over the universe, undergoing earth-shattering changes.

More than 90% of the runes left by the Emperor in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have disappeared under its erasure.

At most 100,000 years, the runes left by the Emperor in the human world will be completely erased.

Since the departure of the Sun Emperor, the Moon Emperor has not performed any miracles in the world.

He still has 50,000 years left, but he doesn't want to wait any longer; he wants to begin his seventh life.

The Yin Emperor channeled his magical power, and new life began to condense within his body.

Over the years, the Taiyin Emperor has come to understand all the warriors imprinted on his body by the Immortal Pool, and from this, he has deduced the laws of the next life. This change began in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, the last secret realm before the Immortal Platform, which can influence the Immortal Platform above and drive the transformation of the Four Extremes and other secret realms below.

Within the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, endless immortal energy appeared out of thin air. This immortal energy contained a rich amount of immortal matter. Under the guidance of the Taiyin Human Emperor, it split into two streams and flowed towards the other four secret realms.

In an instant, a terrifying aura swept across the heavens on the Purple Star, blood energy pierced the sky, and countless cries of agony filled the air.

The overwhelming imperial might erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth.

All living beings trembled as the Taiyin Human Emperor's strength reached an even greater level, becoming unfathomably powerful.

"This life is worlds apart from the previous ones."

In the years that followed, after consolidating his Dao fruit, the Taiyin Human Emperor traveled through countless worlds and traversed the mortal realms.

Another 20,000 years have passed, and the myriad paths have begun to reappear, spiritual energy is gradually recovering, and a great era is about to begin.

"This life is about to begin, and this life should be yours," Li Xuan said to the child beside him.

This child is the beginningless one.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!" Wu Shi bowed respectfully.

With his innate talent, leaving it for future generations wouldn't be very meaningful; attaining enlightenment in this life is a good choice.

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo truly lives up to its reputation as a physique comparable to the Chaos Body in the world, displaying talent far surpassing that of its peers even in childhood.

Wu Shi's talent was even more terrifying; the innate holy body and Dao embryo in his hands were even more powerful.

Wushi entered the cultivation world from the sacred land of Yaochi, and from the moment he was born, he made his peers unable to raise their heads.

Many elders in the Yaochi Holy Land who had followed the Western Emperor frankly stated that the young master's talent far surpassed that of the Western Emperor, and his future achievements would surely surpass those of Wutian.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed, and Wu Shi's cultivation has reached the second level of the Sendai Heaven, just one step away from severing the Dao.

On this day, Wushi walked across the land of the Eastern Wilderness, heading to suppress the ancient myriad races.

"Wow wow wow wow!"

Several barks reached his ears, and he stopped in his tracks as if possessed.

A small black dog with black fur came into view. It was very weak, its fur was dry and brittle, and it looked like it was about to die.

"Little Black," Wu Shi called softly.

The little black dog struggled to its feet and crawled to Wushi's side.

Wu Shi took out several precious medicinal herbs and fed them to the little black dog.

Under the powerful effects of the precious medicine, the originally weak little black dog regained its vitality, and its black fur became incredibly shiny.

"Wow wow wow wow!"

The little black dog ran happily around Wushi.

From then on, Wu Shi took the little black dog with him and personally taught him the methods of cultivation, leading him onto the path of immortal cultivation.

In the Eastern Wilderness, in the Northern Region, Wushi and an ancient prince have agreed to a duel here.

Both sides had just stepped into the third level of the Dao-Slaying Realm, and their combat power far surpassed that of their peers.

"Wu Shi, you will surely be defeated today," Fen Yan said arrogantly.

But he waited for a long time, and the other party did not reply.

All that was left for him was his back view.

Fen Yan had never been so angry. Even if he was inferior to the other party, there was no need to humiliate him like this.

Wu Shi was thus unwittingly resented by him.

An earth-shattering battle then erupted between the two sides, and several mountain ranges in the Northern Region were reduced to fragments by the aftershocks of their fight.

As Wushi was fighting, a black dog with darting eyes ran off in one direction.

The fact that Wushi turned his back to Fenyan earlier was truly an accident. Just now, Xiao Hei borrowed a lot of treasures from many cultivators, each of which was extremely valuable.

"I borrowed it through my own abilities, why should I pay it back?" Xiao Hei said confidently.

But its next words enraged Wushi: "I made this guarantee with your help."

What's most infuriating is that Xiao Hei didn't even give Wu Shi a single cent of the benefits.

And so, the two started fighting over the unequal distribution of the spoils, and thus failed to notice what Fenyan had said.

As expected of someone with an innate holy body and Dao embryo, Wu Shi was at the same realm as Fen Yan, who had even used a Dao weapon. Yet, Wu Shi, relying solely on his physical body, had overwhelmed Fen Yan, preventing him from raising his head.

When Wu Shi's final punch landed, the terrifying power blasted half of Fen Yan's body into a bloody mist, and the battle came to an end.

"It turns out that the ancient prince was not invincible after all."

“Wu Shi was also an ancient prince, isn’t that to be expected?”

As the crowd discussed, Wu Shi's background was revealed, and everyone was amazed by his terrifying strength, lamenting that they were born in the same era as such a prodigy.

When Wushi ended the battle, he quickly fled the battlefield with Xiao Hei, leaving only his back view behind.

In a secluded spot, the sounds of barking dogs and arguing could be heard incessantly.

"Woof woof woof woof, at most 30%, no more than that!" Little Black roared.

Believe it or not, I'll make sure you don't get even a tenth of it.

Upon hearing this, the little black dog immediately wilted, opened its mouth, and spat out 70% of it.

"That's not bad." Wu Shi nodded with a smile.

But when he scanned the area with his divine sense, he found a black figure flashing before his eyes at lightning speed.

He immediately realized he had been scammed.

He channeled his magic power, transforming it into a large hand that grabbed Little Black.

Grab a dog's leg and shake it hard.

Unable to withstand the shaking, Xiao Hei opened its mouth and spat out a burst of light that illuminated the cave, piling up into a small mountain.

In the end, Xiao Hei didn't even leave behind a single percent.

The hoarse barking of the dog echoed for several days.

In the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan deduced the past and present life of the stone monkey.

He wanted to try; if he could awaken his past life, the Heavenly Court's foundation would be greatly enhanced.

"What kind of divine monkey is it?"

There are two extraordinary bloodlines in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths: the Fighting Holy Ape and the Six-Eared Macaque. Clearly, this stone monkey was not one of these two bloodlines in his previous life.

None of the ten evil creatures are monkey-shaped.

Li Xuan had a headache, and in the end he completely gave up on the deduction. After the other party awakened his memories of his past life, everything became clear.

……

After spending several years in the Big Dipper Star Region, Wu Shi led Xiao Hei onto the Ancient Star Road.

After the two stepped onto the Ancient Starry Road, Xiao Hei's greedy desire for treasure resounded throughout the entire Ancient Starry Road.

For a time, the infamous name of the man and his dog spread throughout the ancient starry road.

On this day, Wu Shi followed Xiao Hei to a secret place, which was said to be the tomb of a quasi-emperor who had fallen.

"Believe me, there's definitely something good in there. We're sure to make a fortune this time."

Along the way, Little Black wagged its tail excitedly, its face beaming with joy.

Wu Shi looked utterly helpless. He deeply regretted ever adopting it, as he was now ruining his lifelong reputation.

Fortunately, in most cases, he only left the world with his back turned, which prevented him from completely dying.

I'll trust you this once.

When asked where he got the information, Xiao Hei proudly replied, "I obtained it by sacrificing myself."

Actually, it was a story about how it transformed into a very cute little black dog, was adopted by some female nuns, and then overheard the news from them.

Seeing how convincing they were, Xiao Hei immediately went to find Wu Shi and asked him to take action first.
