Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 2 Yao Guang, here I come!

The Yao Guang Holy Land has existed for over ten thousand years and is now a major power in the entire Eastern Wilderness, with few comparable figures.

After their conversation, the two in the Taoist temple fell silent. Qi Zhe was contemplating the future, while the old monk was thinking about what would happen after his death.

The old cultivator knew that his death was imminent. It was a miracle that he could hold on for another two years after Qi Zhe's arrival. Now he was too weak to endure the suffering and had the idea of ​​ending his life.

"Who in this world can live forever? The invincible Demon Emperor has been gone for nearly ten thousand years, how can I defy the heavens?"

The old monk muttered to himself, gazing at the green hills and clear waters outside the Taoist temple, knowing that this was where he would be buried.

He then turned to look at Qi Zhe, who was still deep in thought, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his idea, nor offering any advice.

Qi Zhe was still contemplating the future. He knew that the old cultivator was about to pass away, and it was time for him to descend the mountain.

"I wonder what the Eastern Wilderness is like, and whether Ye Fan has arrived yet." Qi Zhe's thoughts drifted, and he inexplicably turned his head to look in the direction of the Ancient Forbidden Land.

The Ancient Forbidden Land is the only forbidden zone for life in the Southern Region. In ancient times, it was the place where the ancestors of mankind came from beyond the region and the birthplace of the Eastern Wilderness human race.

But now that place is a forbidden zone for life, where supreme beings lurk, and even the most outstanding talents are powerless to venture deep inside.

Ye Fan rode in the Nine Dragon Coffin, traversing the starry sky to land there, thus beginning his legendary life.

Qi Zhe still doesn't know if Ye Fan has arrived yet, or how long it will be before the magnificent golden age begins.

"Perhaps the time has truly come for me to emerge from seclusion. If I don't fight for the world's power, it won't befall me!"

Qi Zhe had a plan in mind: he would first sneak into the Yao Guang Holy Land to loot some treasures.

Then Qi Zhe turned to look at the old cultivator, his expression filled with doubt, and asked, "Master, your cultivation is profound. What level of expert are you?"

Qi Zhe could not fathom the depth of the old cultivator before him, only knowing that his cultivation was astonishing and guessing that he was at least a king who had severed the Dao.

A powerful being with such cultivation is undoubtedly a treasure trove. Their knowledge and experience spanning over four thousand years are rare in the world, making them a living fossil.

And after so many years, he may have countless treasures, and even if he is short of money, he must have a king's weapon.

Seeing Qi Zhe's probing gaze, the old cultivator's thin, aged face showed a helpless expression. Now that things had come to this, he was no longer willing to hide anything.

The old cultivator said, "Very well, my days are numbered, I will tell you everything that needs to be said today."

"You have only been cultivating for a short time. Reaching the Divine Bridge Realm in less than two years is already quite impressive. However, you should know that you are still in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and still need to work hard in your cultivation."

"The cultivation of the Secret Realm Method has five major secret realms: the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform. Each realm is more difficult than the last, and I have reached the third level of the Immortal Platform, but unfortunately, I will never be able to cross it in my lifetime."

The old cultivator sighed. In his youth, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and even the first stage of the Dao-Severing Realm had not stopped him for long.

However, he never expected that he would be unable to break through to the fourth level of Sendai Heaven and would be locked up for more than four thousand years, leaving him with a lifelong regret.

Now that the old matter has been brought up again, the old cultivator looked bewildered. After a moment of thought, he continued:

"The Yao Guang cultivation method I am passing on to you is a legacy of a great sage in the sect. It is sufficient for you to cultivate to the sixth level of the Immortal Platform. If you have the opportunity to obtain a complete Emperor Scripture, you can also switch to this method. If not, there is no need to give up because of a minor setback."

The old cultivator knew that a cultivator's talent would not be confined by an ancient scripture, and even without an imperial scripture, it would not stop a heaven-defying cultivator from rising up.

Even with only the basics of cultivation, true geniuses can rise against the tide, their talent sufficient to continue their path even if it is broken.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe's expression became solemn. He nodded to the old cultivator and said, "Of course, even without the Emperor's Scripture, I can still ride the wind and live up to this life!" The old cultivator was quite pleased with the solemnity and seriousness in Qi Zhe's words. What he admired most was Qi Zhe's confidence, which he valued far more than his talent.

"Haha, not bad!" The old cultivator laughed heartily, nodded, and continued, "Most geniuses in this world are confident, and you also have that potential, but you are also somewhat clear-headed, which is very good."

He saw Qi Zhe's magnanimity and felt that with this kind of temperament, Qi Zhe's future achievements would not be low.

Qi Zhe was somewhat surprised by the praise, as this was the first time the old cultivator had said he was good; in the past, it was always words of encouragement, and this was the first time.

As the old cultivator continued to instruct him, he began to explain the key points of cultivation in the five secret realms, preparing to say everything he needed to before passing away, so as not to leave any regrets.

As three days passed, the old cultivator told Qi Zhe everything he needed to know, giving him a deeper understanding of the secret realm technique.

"What you learn from books is never enough!"

Qi Zhe sighed, knowing that although the book "Covering the Sky" could reveal the key points of the cultivation path, it was difficult to actually lead people onto the path of cultivation. True practice still required a guide.

Now, after two years of tutelage under a master, he has already surpassed many others in terms of starting point.

When Ye Fan first embarked on the path of cultivation, he was guided by an old cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm. After comparing them, Qi Zhe felt that he had already surpassed him by a great deal.

"If you are truly determined to join Yao Guang, you must act discreetly and be careful of this generation's Yao Guang Holy Son, for he is no benevolent person."

"And be careful not to trust people from the Yao Guang Holy Land too easily, lest you end up doing all the work for someone else!"

Feeling he hadn't missed anything, the old monk prepared to send Qi Zhe down the mountain, intending to walk the final stretch of the road alone.

"Is this the fate of most cultivators in this world? To savor solitude in the final moments of their lives."

Amidst the green hills and flowing streams, Qi Zhe held the old cultivator's last gift in his hand, gazing absently at the Taoist temple that appeared and disappeared among the mountains.

All the powerful figures in the world of Shrouding the Heavens are like this: they desire the path to immortality but cannot attain it, and spend their entire lives worrying about achieving eternal life.

Qi Zhe naturally understood the old cultivator's instructions. Although the Yao Guang Holy Land was a deep and complex place, he only wanted to make a fortune quietly and had no intention of causing trouble.

He figured that those people looked down on him, a nobody with no special abilities, and probably wouldn't bother trying to win him over.

"Sigh," Qi Zhe then shook his head and sighed, holding the secret treasure given to him by the old cultivator in his palm.

This is an ancient mirror no bigger than the palm of your hand. It is incredibly simple and looks as if it has gone through a long period of time. Mysterious Taoist patterns are interwoven on it.

According to the old monk, this is a precious mirror from the ancient times, crafted by an ancient sage. It is shrouded in mystery, and its origin is even more enigmatic.

Simply carrying it with you can prevent most calculations and also block the prying eyes of ordinary pupil techniques, making it a rare treasure for traveling the world.

Shaking the ancient mirror in his hand, Qi Zhe looked relaxed and strode forward, saying loudly, "I am but a passerby in these green mountains. The day I set foot here again will be the day I reach the summit!"

As Qi Zhe spoke, birds all over the mountains and fields took flight, and all the birds and beasts were startled.

"That lad is quite carefree, and has a good temperament." The old cultivator couldn't help but laugh as he watched Qi Zhe's departing figure.

The old monk then continued to sit quietly in the Taoist temple, waiting for that final day to arrive.
