Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 7 The Beginning of Rising to Prominence

Colorful clouds filled the sky and earth, and auspicious rays swirled among the mountains. At this moment, strange phenomena appeared one after another on the Enlightenment Stone Steps.

The group of Yaoguang disciples on the mountainside gazed at the figure surrounded by auspicious clouds and were at a loss for words.

Qi Zhe's performance was so astonishing that he ascended to the fifth level of the Enlightenment Stone Steps, becoming exactly like the previous Holy Lords of Yao Guang, which can be described as having amazing talent.

As Qi Zhe stopped, someone finally breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "He must be exhausted!"

If Qi Zhe hadn't stopped and had directly ascended to the sixth level of enlightenment, the scene would have been unimaginable.

With a whoosh, a figure rushed from the horizon and arrived in the mountains in an instant.

This was an old man dressed in brocade robes and jade robes. His tall figure exuded an astonishing aura, and his square face was full of seriousness. At this moment, he was staring intently at Qi Zhe on the enlightenment stone steps.

The disciples of Yaoguang Temple all turned to look, and some recognized the newcomer, exclaiming in surprise, "It's Elder Xue from Hunyuan Hall!"

The Yao Guang sect is rife with factions, and Elder Xue is a disciple of a Supreme Elder of Yao Guang, a cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In terms of status and cultivation, the disciples of Yao Guang present could only look up to him. They never expected that such an important figure would come for Qi Zhe. For a moment, they felt a mix of emotions.

Someone stared at Elder Xue, thinking to themselves, "That rogue cultivator is about to rise to the top in one step; it's truly infuriating!"

Comparing people is a recipe for disaster, and comparing goods is a recipe for ruin. Some people couldn't help but feel envious when they saw Qi Zhe standing on the enlightenment stone steps.

"Is he truly a peerless genius? He actually stepped onto the fifth step!"

Elder Xue looked solemn as he gazed at Qi Zhe's retreating figure, muttering to himself in surprise at how the young man before him had exceeded his expectations.

It should be known that anyone who steps onto this fifth level of the Enlightenment Stone Steps will become a top figure in the Eastern Wilderness.

He had thought he could gain a good disciple, but he never expected that Qi Zhe would so amazingly reach the fifth level of enlightenment, which had probably already alarmed the Supreme Elder of the sect.

Elder Xue knew he was probably going to make a wasted trip.

"Truly a gifted individual, he has actually stepped onto the fifth level of the Enlightenment Stone Steps!"

Just then, voices came from the horizon, their sound resounding through the sky, and then appeared an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Someone chimed in, "Indeed, though not comparable to the Holy Son, it is still quite good. My Yao Guang will prosper from this moment on!"

"."

As the conversation continued, many people, all of whom were renowned experts from the Yao Guang Holy Land, arrived one after another at the Enlightenment Stone Steps.

They were all moved by Qi Zhe, and now, watching Qi Zhe slowly walk down the steps, their expressions were filled with inexplicable excitement.

An old man with a piercing gaze was carefully scrutinizing Qi Zhe, as if trying to discern his true nature.

Then the old man said, "Truly extraordinary. Although he lacks physical constitution, his body and soul are both incredibly stable. He is truly a born immortal!"

Among these important figures, one looked puzzled and murmured, "It's a pity. If he had a special physique, he would have been another asset to the Yao Guang Great Xing!"

Those around shook their heads upon hearing this, but the old man said, "There's no need to force it; her talent is already more than enough."

As Qi Zhe continued to withdraw, the illusions before his eyes gradually dissipated, and he heard human voices again.

Hearing the commotion, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the mountains, only to find them already overcrowded.

"There are too many people."

Qi Zhe's eyes flickered. Recalling the strange phenomenon on the enlightenment steps earlier, he realized the commotion had become quite significant. As Qi Zhe stepped back, the previously calm experts of Yao Guang Sect stepped forward, and someone spoke up:
"Young brother, where do you come from? Are you seeking to become a disciple of the Yao Guang Sect?"

The man appeared to be middle-aged and seemed quite amiable, speaking in a gentle tone, which puzzled Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe then nodded and said, "I come from the eastern part of the Southern Region, and I do indeed intend to become a disciple of the Yao Guang Sect."

Facing the important figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land, Qi Zhe, though unaware of his identity, remained calm and began to quietly deliver the prepared statement.

Qi Zhe claimed to be a wandering cultivator in the mountains. The old Taoist priest who had recently led him into the path of cultivation was nearing his end and had sent him down the mountain to cultivate alone, struggling in the mortal world.

Later, in his confusion, he heard of the great name of the Yao Guang Holy Land, so he traveled a million miles to become its disciple.

"I see. Our Yao Guang Holy Land is renowned far and wide. It seems we are destined to meet, young brother!"

Qi Zhe's explanation was quite ordinary, and there might be some loopholes in it, but the people of Yao Guang didn't care. After chatting for a few minutes, they prepared to take Qi Zhe away from this place.

Then, many important figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land led Qi Zhe into the sky, passing over one floating immortal mountain after another, and then a series of temples came into view before Qi Zhe's eyes.

"The Yao Guang Holy Land is truly extraordinary!" Even Qi Zhe was amazed at this moment and had to admit that the Yao Guang Holy Land was incredibly prosperous.

Upon hearing Qi Zhe's words, the prominent figures from Yao Guang nearby wore smug expressions, with one saying, "Of course!"

Within this mysterious interior, a floating divine city stands tall in the air, resembling an ancient divine mountain pressing down upon the mortal realm.

The vast city wall stretches as far as the eye can see, and the tall city gate tower is inscribed with the two characters "Yaoguang". Its imposing presence is even greater than that of the mountain gate, and it contains an undying divine charm.

As Qi Zhe continued forward, he finally entered the interior of Yao Guang Divine City, where he saw endless magnificent palaces and countless Yao Guang cultivators.

This is the essence of the Yao Guang Holy Land, with countless Dao patterns engraved on the city walls and streets, where endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathered.

Even in broad daylight, the sky above this divine city is filled with countless stars, with endless starlight pouring down from beyond the realm.

All of this surprised Qi Zhe, who was secretly shocked by the profound knowledge and power of Yao Guang, and became somewhat solemn for a moment.

As Qi Zhe ventured deeper, many powerful figures from the Yao Guang sect led him to an ancient hall, claiming they would take him to meet the current Yao Guang Holy Lord.

This generation's Yao Guang Holy Lord is also middle-aged, wearing a purple-gold robe and a white jade crown. He is surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, making him look extremely majestic and holy.

The middle-aged man who had initially inquired about Qi Zhe's background addressed the Holy Master of Yao Guang as his senior brother, who turned out to be the Holy Master's junior brother and a powerful figure of his generation.

After entering the ancient hall, the group paid their respects to the Holy Lord Yaoguang and began to recount Qi Zhe's performance on the Enlightenment Stone Steps, praising him highly.

Sitting cross-legged in the ancient hall, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang quietly watched Qi Zhe for a long time, silently sizing up the young man. After a long while, he said, "He can indeed be called a disciple of Yaoguang from today onwards."

He did not arrange a master for Qi Zhe, because Qi Zhe had entered the sect halfway and still needed some time to learn, otherwise he would not be able to receive the true teachings of Yao Guang.

Qi Zhe didn't care about this. He had already mastered the true teachings of Yao Guang, and even without his master, it wouldn't affect him.

Upon hearing this, the junior brother of the Holy Master of Yao Guang was not surprised and nodded, saying, "In that case, arrange for him to go to Qian Yuan Peak to cultivate starting today. I will personally teach him the Yao Guang Method in three days."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the arrangement, knowing that he could get a general idea of ​​the young man's situation in three days.

Qi Zhe, who had been silent for a long time, showed a slight change in expression upon hearing this, but ultimately did not say anything more.

But just then, footsteps came from outside the ancient hall, and a young man walked into the hall, causing all the Yao Guang cultivators to turn their heads.

"Fluttering light!"
