Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 349 Physical Body Becomes Emperor
What does it mean? !

Li Yao was stunned. He looked at the fragment of divine gold in front of him. It was about the size of a palm, extremely ancient, and engraved with unknown divine runes.

With his extensive experience in various immortal arts, he quickly realized that this was an immortal scripture.

The ruthless person took it out and then asked him for something else. Could it be that he was trying to make a deal?
Just to be on the safe side, he cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to make a deal with me?"

The ruthless woman didn't speak, but instead extended her jade-like finger, pointing at the fragment, then at Li Yao, and finally opening her hand.

The meaning is self-evident and very clear: the immortal scriptures are yours, the immortal techniques are mine.

Li Yao was overjoyed. What he needed most right now was undoubtedly a new immortal scripture that could help the Heavenly Book advance to the next level.

As for giving the ruthless man immortal techniques, it was no loss to him at all; it was just that one more person in the world would master immortal techniques.

Once the Heavenly Book advances to the next level, he will be able to master more of the Ten Fiendish Techniques, and one day in the future, he will be able to master the complete Ten Fiendish Treasure Techniques.

A ruthless person may make a small profit, but he will never lose.

Unconsciously, his gaze towards the ruthless man changed. This was a good person. Instead of forcibly taking what he wanted, he used a transaction to obtain the immortal techniques from him.

To be honest, even if a ruthless person were to forcibly take it from him today, he would be all smiles and obediently offer up his immortal techniques without the slightest hesitation.

But surprisingly, she actually used immortal scriptures for trading. This... truly befits a great emperor, never bullying the weak.

With a broad smile, Li Yao moved swiftly, beginning to demonstrate the profound meaning of the Divine Dragon's Tail Swing.

A dazzling divine light emerged from in front of him, each line resembling a small dragon, lifelike and vivid, yet combining with each other to transform into dragon-shaped runes, profoundly mysterious, pointing directly to the true dragon's origin and the Great Dao.

Adhering to the principle of honest transactions, Li Yao's evolution process was very detailed, without any concealment.

Immortal arts are extremely profound and require diligent study and practice to master. However, this ruthless person is clearly not an ordinary person. Even though he is not in the right state now, he mastered them all after just one look.

After completing the dragon tail dance, Li Yao excitedly picked up the fragment and inscribed the divine script on it onto the Heavenly Book.

The divine script is ancient and not the current writing system. Its meaning is unclear, but once one understands the divine script, it means that one has mastered it.

"Buzz!"

Within the mysterious space, the celestial book emitted an even more dazzling divine light, its level having increased significantly, making it noticeably more powerful.

"Nine breaths of thunder, penetrating the divine spirits, reaching the heavens above and the netherworld below, thunder and lightning await the command of Heaven..."

The vast and majestic Thunder Technique, like the first lightning bolt to split the heavens and earth, cleaved through chaos and descended upon the mortal world, as if the heavens themselves had descended. Every line of it was a manifestation of the tribulation light of the nine heavens.

Li Yao's pupils widened in disbelief. This was actually a fragment of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique - Nine Heavens Tribulation Light!
Although it was incomplete, he still made a huge profit, because for the Heavenly Book, incompleteness is completeness. He exchanged a single move for an increase in the Heavenly Book's level and a Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique.

As the only humanoid being among the Ten Fiends, Lei Di's talent is unparalleled throughout history, and he is highly regarded by countless powerful figures who believe that he is destined to become a king or ancestor.

His unparalleled skills caused enormous losses to the alien realm. In the end, the alien realm was furious and dispatched multiple immortal kings to surround and kill him, fearing that he would grow stronger and become invincible.

Looking at the ruthless man opposite him, Li Yao felt as if he had seen a huge treasure trove.

The world of Shrouding the Heavens was rebuilt by the Desolate Emperor after the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were shattered. This world retains too many inheritances related to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

This ruthless woman has lived in this world for hundreds of thousands of years, and has explored almost every part of this universe. Perhaps she possesses many legacies left behind by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

As time goes by and the world changes, the legacy may become incomplete, serving only as a reference and lesson for the emperor. But for Li Yao, it is a priceless treasure.

Even a single scale or claw would be enough for the Heavenly Book.

"Your Majesty, are there still such incomplete forms?" In the end, Li Yao mustered up his courage and asked.

This is a rare opportunity. If we seize it, the Heavenly Book might be able to advance to a higher level.

On the other side, the ruthless man with a blank stare was slightly taken aback, but recovered in an instant, so quickly that Li Yao didn't even notice.

Then, she gently waved her hand, and a tattered ancient scroll made of animal hide appeared.

The ancient scroll exudes an aura of antiquity, gray and devoid of any divine light, with many burn marks on its edges.

The animal skin scroll was small, about two feet long and one and a half feet wide. It was very old, and it was impossible to tell which era it came from. There were no words on it, only a crude horizontal line that looked like a child's scribbles.

This time, the ruthless man didn't reach out as if begging, but instead gestured for Li Yao to look first.

It seems that even she didn't see much from the ancient scroll, only that it was extraordinary.

Seeing this, Li Yao didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and touched the horizontal line, and immediately felt his primordial spirit tremble, as if it were about to be torn apart.

With just this one look, one can tell that the ancient scroll is extraordinary. The pattern on it clearly records a lineage, but it cannot withstand the power of time and has long lost its continuity over the years.

Li Yao was not discouraged. He believed that with his own comprehension, there was no inheritance that he could not comprehend.

The celestial book shone with divine light, its pages turned, and it began to inscribe that mark.

The next moment, the Heavenly Book's divine light surged, as if it had consumed some powerful tonic, causing its evolution level to jump dramatically, almost reaching the bottleneck of advancing to the next level.

"The Art of Pacifying the Chaos!"

On the pages of the book, the horizontal line was perfectly evolved, but unlike the one on the ancient scroll, the horizontal line on the celestial book exuded a shocking sword light, specifically designed to slay the primordial spirit.

However, due to the limitations of the Heavenly Book's position, it could not be fully developed and remains only a fragment.

Even so, the unparalleled power of this sword technique has already been demonstrated. Even though it is an incomplete version, as long as one learns the basics, it becomes an unparalleled offensive and killing technique.

Although Qian Zimi was also skilled in primordial spirit techniques, he was somewhat outmatched by this sword technique.

"It's actually the Suppressing Chaos Sword Technique, one of the three great sword techniques of the Immortal Ancient Era!" Li Yao was greatly shocked.

This is an unparalleled sword technique. Together with the Grass Sword Technique and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, it is known as one of the three great sword techniques. Cultivating a primordial spirit sword embryo and achieving mastery can slay an immortal king!

Without a doubt, this sword technique was a great art that a Celestial King was proud of, which once shook the ancient Celestial Era and made the immortal kings of other realms tremble with fear.

Li Yao never expected to gain such a reward. In just one day, he not only obtained the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, but also the Suppression of Chaos Technique, one of the three great sword techniques.

And all of this comes from the ruthless person in front of you. Is this what it feels like to be protected by a big shot?
After putting down the animal skin scroll, Li Yao pondered for a moment and began to demonstrate the profound meaning of the True Dragon Fist.

He had no intention of cheating or being cunning. Relying on the fact that the Heavenly Book already contained the "Suppressing Chaos Techniques," and that the ruthless person was unaware of this, he refused to grant the other party any magical arts.

The dragon's might swept through the celestial palace. Li Yao unleashed his fist technique, and the True Dragon Talisman manifested as a black dragon, coiling around his body.

His movements were slow, fully displaying the profound meaning of the True Dragon Fist. The Dragon Fist was unparalleled, seemingly capable of cleaving through the three thousand realms.

On the other side, the ruthless man watched intently, his dullness gone, replaced by two bright, dazzling stars, beautiful beyond compare.

After a long while, Li Yao finished the drill and sat back down on the prayer mat.

"The move we just used and the move we're using now are from the same source, originating from the same great technique!" The Empress finally spoke, her voice like heavenly music.

Li Yao's expression turned slightly solemn, but he still answered truthfully: "Your Majesty's wisdom is astounding. The two immortal techniques do indeed originate from the same source and are the unparalleled techniques of the True Dragon Clan."

Before practicing the True Dragon Fist, he knew that the ruthless man's amazing skills would definitely reveal this, but he did not practice any other immortal techniques because of this.

Both the Dragon's Tail Swing and the White Tiger's Claw are immortal techniques, but they are completely unrelated and are two separate immortal techniques.

The True Dragon Fist and the Divine Dragon Tail Sweep complement each other, and their combined power is greater than the sum of its parts.

He gained tremendous benefits from the ruthless person and tried his best to repay him in return; one should always be sincere.

"Above the immortals, there are even stronger beings?" The ruthless man murmured to himself, not asking Li Yao, but rather speculating on something.

At her level, many things in the world are no secret.

Whether it's the Divine Dragon Tail Swing or the True Dragon Fist, both are incredibly powerful immortal techniques. The complete True Dragon Technique must be unbelievably powerful, far surpassing the level of immortals.

Although they may both belong to the realm of immortals, the true dragon is definitely more powerful than many immortals and can be called the king of immortals!
At this moment, Ruthless was filled with fighting spirit, seeing even higher peaks to climb.

In some ways, this is more important than obtaining the two immortal techniques.

The greatest fear on the path of cultivation is not being able to see higher levels. Now, the appearance of the True Dragon Great Method is like clearing away the clouds and fog, allowing her to see more of the cultivation landscape.

Since immortals are not the pinnacle of the world, can the King of Immortals resurrect his brother? If even the King of Immortals cannot, is there an Emperor of Immortals after him?

The ruthless woman maintained a calm expression, but a flame ignited within her heart—a glimmer of hope. Previously, she hadn't firmly believed her brother could return, but there was nothing she could do; even the mighty Heavenly Emperor was powerless to alter the cycle of reincarnation.

But things are different now. Knowing that there are even stronger beings above the immortals, anything is possible.

If an immortal cannot resurrect the dead, then one becomes an immortal king; if even an immortal king cannot do that, then one becomes an immortal emperor!

As long as there is a road ahead, she will not stop, she will reach the very top.

The bronze palace fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The Empress was like a jade statue carved from mutton-fat white jade, beautiful and crystalline, like a deity.

But if someone who knows her well were here, it would be quite obvious that she has something else to offer.

Unfortunately, the person who knew the Empress well enough was not Li Yao. He couldn't see any difference; the Empress's figure was too blurry to see clearly.

The atmosphere was strange. The Empress remained silent, sparing her words, leaving Li Yao somewhat at a loss.

After a moment, he finally mustered up his courage and asked, "Does the Great Emperor possess such an ancient technique?"

Upon hearing this, even the most ruthless person lost their composure, their voice unusually showing emotion, "That's all?"

This has completely ruined his public image, but there's nothing we can do; Li Yao's words are just too outrageous.

Those are immortal techniques, not some common cabbage. Even if a mere Great Sage is powerful enough to rival a Quasi-Emperor, he is still a minor character, yet he possesses so many immortal techniques!
Seeing that he could no longer fleece them, Li Yao was somewhat disappointed, but in an instant, he asked about another matter concerning his current situation.

He asked if he could leave.
Receiving no answer, the ruthless man remained silent, but the next moment, the void was torn apart, and he was sucked in.

A sudden blur appeared before his eyes, and he lost track of time. When he came to, he was already outside the desolate ancient forbidden land, with the Dragon Pattern Cauldron quietly floating beside him.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Li Dasheng had taken a trip to the very center of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and even established some contact with the Lord of the Desolate Land.

Not to belittle himself, but in this universe today, apart from Ye Fan and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, he is the person with the deepest connection with Ruthless Man.

Even if they only have one side of the story, it doesn't change the fact at all.

This is what a homebody's social circle looks like.

After putting away the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, Li Yao left the place and flew away into the distance.

On this day, he went to many places, cities of all sizes, and everywhere he went, people were talking about the birth of Huang.

It's foreseeable that this will be a topic of conversation for a long time to come.

Upon returning to the Holy Land of Yaoguang, Li Yao began a period of seclusion to comprehend the Dao.

This trip to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was very fruitful. I must learn both the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique and the Suppression of Chaos Technique as soon as possible to enhance my combat power.

Its importance even surpasses that of improving one's cultivation level.

"Boom!"

Lightning raged across the sky, engulfing the heavens, and the two immortal techniques, Nine Heavens Calamity Light and Thunder Emperor's Hand, were deduced from the Heavenly Book.

Li Yao studied these two unparalleled techniques with great eagerness. They were the world's foremost offensive and defensive arts, even more profound than the Dou Zi Secret.

First, there is the Nine Heavens Tribulation Light, which is a tribulation power derived from the lightning tribulation. In terms of attack alone, it may not be too strong among immortal arts, but once it successfully bombards the enemy, the tribulation power within it is like a leech, constantly wearing down the enemy.

The Thunder Emperor's Hand, however, is completely different from the Nine Heavens Tribulation Light. It manifests as the domineering power of thunder, a unique immortal technique that directly attacks head-on, and its offensive strength is no less than that of the True Dragon Fist.

What surprised Li Yao the most was that these two immortal techniques could be perfectly combined and used together, possessing both the troublesome power of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Light and the offensive power of the Thunder Emperor's Hand.

These two immortal techniques will undoubtedly become his trump cards; once unleashed, their destructive power will be unimaginably terrifying.

There is also the Sword Art of Pacifying Chaos, although only a part of it was ultimately deduced, it is still not to be underestimated. It clearly records how to cultivate the primordial spirit sword embryo and the method of nurturing it.

If Li Yao can fully utilize this gain, his combat strength will definitely increase dramatically.

In particular, the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo is an extremely powerful technique that is virtually invincible in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. There are few ways to defend against it, and once the sword is drawn, it will surely slay a person's primordial spirit.

As Li Yao focused on his cultivation, time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.

After experiencing growing pains, the Yao Guang Holy Land quickly began to expand rapidly.

A year ago, most of the powerful figures who secretly attacked Yao Guang have been purged in recent days, including many Saint Kings.

Their origins are diverse, including ancient clan ancestral kings, saints from beyond the realm, and even a saint from the Northern Dipper human race.

Now that Yao Guang has unleashed its full power, its strength is terrifying, causing rivers of blood to flow in the Eastern Wilderness.

The saints from beyond the realm were too far away to reach them, but the clans behind the ancient ancestral kings were all uprooted, and the eight royal clans disappeared from the world.

The royal family turned a blind eye to all of this and did not step forward to stop it. Only the Great Sage Hun Tuo could not stand it and stood up to advise, "Peace is the most important thing."

The only human saint came from the Yin-Yang Sect of Zhongzhou. He was originally a Great Accomplishment King, but broke through to sainthood after being suppressed by heaven and earth.

The sect was naturally purged and almost wiped out. In the end, the four great dynasties stepped in to mediate, saving it from extermination. However, it was severely weakened and left with only an empty shell, existing in name only.

Unless the sect has extraordinary luck and produces an unparalleled genius, a small disturbance will wipe them out.

The liquidation process went smoothly, and no one stood up to stop it. Even the four great dynasties only offered some advice and did not intend to use force to mediate. If Yao Guang's attitude was firm, they would also give up protecting the Yin Yang Sect.

Everyone now knows that the era of the Holy Land of Yao Guang has arrived!
Leaving aside Li Dasheng's unparalleled combat prowess, the sheer strength of nearly thirty top-tier individuals alone constitutes a formidable force.

Of course, the one that everyone fears the most is Li Dasheng!

Even the ancient tribes suffered repeated defeats when facing the Yao Guang Holy Land, and dared not confront it.

They are completely different from the arrogant children they were when they were born.

Under these circumstances, Yao Guang's development was rapid, and its territory and resources continued to grow, making it arguably the number one holy land in the Eastern Wilderness.

The myriad races felt aggrieved, as Yaoguang's rapid development this year had almost entirely harmed their interests.

However, in the cultivation world, strength ultimately prevails. No matter how frustrated one feels, there is nothing that can be done. Currently, no one dares to challenge Yao Guang.

Even the royal family, apart from the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, suffered losses to varying degrees this year; this is the inevitable trend.

Unless they are confident they can beat Li Yao, they have no choice but to accept it.

On the Holy Lord Island of the Yao Guang Holy Land, Li Yao was radiant, his blood and qi surging like a galaxy. A terrifying pressure emanated from his body, so terrifying that the world seemed unable to contain him.

"I can't suppress it anymore, it's time to break through." He tore through the void and fled towards the outer realm.

After a year of arduous cultivation, he not only comprehended the Nine Heavens Tribulation Light, the Thunder Emperor's Hand, and the Suppression of Chaos Technique to a very deep level, but also refined the primordial essence in the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, achieving a transcendent and saintly level of cultivation.

After this breakthrough, his combat power will surely rise two levels higher. He might be able to kill an ordinary quasi-emperor without much effort.

Unfortunately, few people have given him a chance to try his skills, so we don't know the specifics.

It's only because he possessed the secret book that he was able to succeed; otherwise, he would have long been stuck in the predicament of working in isolation.

"Boom!"

In the starry sea not far from the Big Dipper, a massive tribulation of lightning descended continuously, engulfing Li Yao.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, each bolt of lightning was terrifying, with a diameter of several thousand feet, carrying a terrifying pressure, making all living beings tremble under the might of heaven.

If an ordinary Great Sage were here, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant, but all of this was insignificant in the eyes of Li Yao, who cultivated the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique.

Li Yao stood amidst the sea of ​​lightning, like an emperor among thunderbolts. The lightning that struck him was no different from a bath; he easily and pleasantly passed through the terrifying tribulation.

From this point on, the Great Sage realm was completely completed, reaching its pinnacle.

The next step is the Quasi-Emperor realm. Once you cross that threshold, it will be a qualitative change. You will no longer cultivate the single secret realm of the Immortal Platform, but will cultivate all five secret realms simultaneously. Each time you become stronger, it will be a transformation as vast as the heavens and earth.

"My body is now enveloped in the radiance of a quasi-emperor. Just how powerful am I now?" Li Yao clenched his fist, looking at the quasi-emperor aura surrounding his body, and longed to unleash his full power in a fierce battle.
