In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

The lightning bolt just now was the essence of lightning that Elder Zhou collected for him from the thunderclouds. After being nurtured by the secret techniques of sages, it could at most kill a late-stage Dragon Transformation cultivator, but with the secret cultivation of the "Soldier" character, it can now injure a half-step Great Power.

But it was no longer of any use to Lü Yao; it was just enough to intimidate Zhang Taishang.

This thing followed the Dragon Head Peak Master's footsteps closely, doing its best, choosing to sit on the fence, and hurting his avatar was already showing mercy.

If he didn't need to keep an eye on Hua Yunfei, he would definitely have killed him.

This was his way of venting his dissatisfaction, which Elder Zhang understood, and the Dragon Head Peak Master also understood.

"I'll ask, you answer." Lü Yao put away the gourd.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please ask." Zhang Taishang's attitude immediately improved, though a trace of fear still lingered on his face.

He never expected to be injured in a single encounter. If that bolt of lightning had pierced his forehead, he would have died instantly.

Has Hua Yunfei ever devoured the essence of a living person?

Elder Zhang pondered for a moment: "When I was by his side, he had at most devoured the essence of evil people, but I never saw him indiscriminately killing innocent people."

"When you were by my side?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled.

“I also occasionally leave for a period of time to return to Dragon Head Peak to see the main body and exchange information. During this time, I can’t be sure whether he indiscriminately kills innocent people.”

Lu Yao nodded, looking at Hua Yunfei by the pond, his gaze gradually becoming profound: "Keep an eye on him. If you find him wantonly devouring the essence of innocent people, kill him immediately. If not, this person will be of great use to me."

Elder Zhang hesitated: "But I occasionally return to the Holy Land..."

"Then show me your true form," Lü Yao interrupted him rudely.

But Zhang Taishang's avatar still forced himself to finish: "He is the demonic embryo of a Heavenly Cultivator. Without him, Yaoguang..."

Before Lü Yao could finish listening, he suddenly looked at Elder Zhang's avatar and said sternly, "I said, if he indiscriminately kills living people, I will take action myself. Don't you understand? Do you only listen to my will if I return to the Holy Land and severely injure your true body?"

Although he doesn't currently have the strength to seriously injure a powerful expert, this period of time won't last too long.

At that time, he still needed the Dragon Head Peak Master and Elder Zhang; then, these two would be dispensable.

"Yes... I will keep an eye on Hua Yunfei." Zhang Taishang felt that the Holy Son was extremely majestic, completely different from Yao Guang's gentleness. Was he really a man-eater who could eat people and make them crazy?

"As for Yaoguang, when you return to the Holy Land, you can tell the Peak Master and him that cultivating the Heavenly Technique to the end leads to certain death, unless he can get help from two people..."

Lu Yao's figure slowly disappeared, leaving behind a sentence that Elder Zhang found hard to understand.

......

The sacred families are located on similar mountains, within a hundred meters of each other. Each family has set up a viewing platform, with spiritual fruits and fine wines placed in front of each seat.

A viewing platform was just big enough to accommodate several hundred elders and disciples of the sect.

Such a distance is quite far for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is no different from being right next to them. Therefore, the powerful figures from Zifu, Wanchu, and the Feng family chatted happily among themselves.

The old uncle of the Wang family kept talking with the two powerful figures of the Ji family.

In particular, the powerful figure who was several hundred years old filled the Wang family with fervor. Such a person had a chance to reach the pinnacle of sainthood, and even a slight chance to sever the Dao in the future.

It was obvious that the Ji family was in a good mood, because the Ji family's prodigy was about to suppress the Holy Son of Yao Guang and become famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness. This was far more impressive than bullying the descendants of the Azure Emperor.

That descendant of the Azure Emperor possessed nothing but a Chaos Azure Lotus.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanbing's words of insight have truly enlightened me. After returning and going into seclusion for several months, I hope my cultivation will improve even further."

The powerful figure from the Wang family laughed heartily, startling the cultivators on the other viewing platforms who frequently turned their heads to guess what the two families were discussing.

The powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the powerful figure from the Feng family: "I have heard that the Wang family has a son named Teng, who is the reincarnation of an ancient emperor. He has already entered the Dragon Transformation Realm and is probably about to enter the Immortal Realm."

"I've also heard that there's been unrest in the Northern Region recently. The Wang family is planning to extend their influence there and cooperate with the Ji family to develop an ancient source mine. It seems to be true."

The Feng family is located in the Central Region, bordering the Northern Region, so they receive news from the Northern Region much faster than from the Southern Region.

The Holy Land of Yao Guang was much slower to respond to this news.

"I also heard that Wang Teng once visited the Yaochi Holy Land, and there were rumors in the Northern Region that the two families had the idea of ​​a marriage alliance. But seeing the relationship between the Wang family and the Ji family today, I wonder if the Ji and Wang families also have the idea of ​​a marriage alliance."

"Oh? There are such rumors in the Northern Region? But I don't think Yaochi will ally with the Wang family. Yaochi has always been neutral. The Ji family is a possibility, though. They face pressure from the demon race and now have a dirty secret with Yaoguang."

By the way, why did the Holy Maiden of Yaochi descend upon the Southern Region today?

"I do know a little about that. I heard that the peach trees in Yaochi will soon bloom, and perhaps a grand peach festival will be held. This is an old tradition of Yaochi."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi came to the Southern Region to deliver invitations to the Yaoguang and Ji families, but happened to encounter a dispute between the two families.

Although the Tai Xuan Feast attracted two forces from the Central Region, it was actually an internal struggle within the Southern Region. Whoever won would become the number one force in the Southern Region.

As the powerful being from the Purple Mansion spoke, he actually left his own observation platform and came to the side of the powerful being from the Feng family.

After the shimmering purple aura that had been obscuring his body dissipated, a young man appeared before Feng Huang with a gentle smile: "Junior Nephew Feng Huang, please make room. I have some things to discuss with Fellow Daoist Feng."

The eldest son of the Feng family scoffed inwardly, thinking, "What are you talking about? You just want to hear gossip."

But seeing that this powerful figure looked young, he was unwilling to offend him.

This means that he is young, cultivates extremely quickly, and soon entered the Immortal Platform. Such talent is beyond the reach of even those who are not top-tier in the Eastern Wilderness, and even those who rely on time to slowly grind their way to Immortal Level Two.

The Peacock King is a case in point. Because of his high talent and rapid cultivation, even after a thousand years in the second installment of the game, he still looks like a young boy.

His combat power is extremely terrifying; he is not afraid in the slightest, even when facing the Holy Lord of the ultimate human power.

"I see that Feng Huang is as noble as a celestial maiden, with extraordinary grace. Why doesn't she go out and compete with the Ji and Yao Guang families? Perhaps the Feng family will produce a figure like the Queen Mother of the West in the future?"

The powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land was clearly a reckless person, saying whatever came to mind.

The eldest member of the Feng family sneered, "Why doesn't the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion step forward?"

"It's up! Look!"

With a flick of his finger, a powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land caused a purple light to flash from his own viewing platform, appearing on the dueling arena.

"The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land challenges the Ji Family's Divine Body."

The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion, with disheveled hair, wearing a purple robe, and holding a purple-gold divine sword, was pointing towards the Ji family's viewing platform.

He was in high spirits, his hair swirling, and purple mist swirled behind him. In a short while, all the clouds in the sky turned purple.

"It's the unusual phenomenon of purple qi coming from the east from the Purple Mansion Holy Land!" The crowd stirred.

"Terrifying! He actually cultivated a strange phenomenon after birth, and it seems to be no less impressive than the 'Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea' technique of the Ji family's divine body."

Ancient phenomena were sometimes innate, arising from one's physical constitution; others were cultivated later, and were all the work of exceptionally talented individuals.

Among the powerful beings who cultivate extraordinary phenomena after birth, the most representative figure is none other than Nangong Zheng! He is awe-inspiring in the Eastern Wilderness, aspiring to become an immortal!

The extraordinary phenomenon of the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion was that purple qi came from the east, and the entire sky turned completely purple in an instant.

"I've heard that the most outstanding person in the Purple Mansion Holy Land is the Holy Maiden, who is a primordial Dao embryo. I never expected that this unknown Holy Son would be so terrifying."

"As expected of a sacred land with a history spanning countless millennia, its profound heritage and the presence of such a prodigy..."

This is an elder from a major sect in the Southern Region. He's really... hungry. Who wouldn't want a disciple like this? Which faction wouldn't want one?

Even if there's no divine body, having a person capable of cultivating extraordinary phenomena is enough.

"I'll go and suppress him."

At the Ji Family Viewing Platform, Ji Haoyue remained with his eyes closed, meditating. His only opponent was the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and his only rival was the successor of an extreme power.

Therefore, Ji Mingyue and Wushang stood up together, ready to make a move.

Suddenly, Ji Haoyue opened her eyes, a blue light bursting forth from them. Behind her, the bright moon rose, and the sea surged, displaying extraordinary phenomena: "They've arrived."

The purple aura that stretched for three thousand miles across the sky was suddenly split into two, and a beam of white, silk-like light swept across the sky, reaching the distant Star Peak and extending all the way to the Moon.

Dao patterns were inscribed on the Path of Light, fragments of laws danced in the air, celestial flowers descended from the sky, and the phantoms of the Four Spirits—nine dragons, nine phoenixes, nine turtles, and nine tigers—appeared. A figure slowly approached from afar...

Chapter 77 Who carries a sacred artifact when they go out?

"How could there be holy might?" Those with insight discovered that a trace of holy might flowed along the road that was radiant with holy light.

Many people were so overwhelmed by the power of the holy man that they broke out in a sweat and felt weak in their hands and feet.

"Playing tricks." Ji Yuanbing frowned and looked at the leader of the Holy Lord's lineage.

The latter produced a mirror, which rose up and protected all the members of the Ji and Wang families, preventing them from collapsing to the ground in an embarrassing state.

"A replica of the Void Mirror, a legendary sacred weapon."

The powerful figures from the Feng and Wang families recognized the replica of the Void Mirror and wanted to use their own family's legendary weapons to protect their disciples, but unfortunately, they hadn't brought any.

Who carries around a sacred weapon when they go out?

Therefore, he could only unleash his full divine power to fight against that wisp of holy might and protect his disciples and elders.

Fortunately, this wisp of holy might wasn't directed at anyone; it seemed to be just... to make the holy path look... impressive?

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Sure enough, they were certain it wasn't an illusion! The holy aura quickly disappeared, and a figure appeared before them.

One hundred and eight divine rings appeared in the world, each with a mysterious Taoist sound, as if one hundred and eight gods were chanting.

The halo of holy light obscured the face, but one could still discern the person's slender figure, unhurried gait, and unique rhythm in their movements, like the warm spring sun capable of melting ice and snow.

His temperament was gentle and refined, without a trace of aggressive sharpness, which contrasted sharply with the solemnity of the Purple Mansion Saint Son holding the Purple Gold Divine Sword as if facing a formidable enemy.

"tread."

Footsteps approached, and Lü Yao stopped. The Holy Light Avenue transformed into specks of light and disappeared into the sky.

But the sky cut off by the Holy Light Avenue was clear and blue, and the purple aura on both sides could not cross that strip of sky.

Sure enough, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body's mode of transportation is a great tool for showing off; it's mine now.

Seeing the hundred or so ancient sect cultivators sitting on dozens of mountain peaks around him, each with a look of shock on their face, Lü Yao decided without hesitation that he would go out like this from now on.

Moreover, in order to intimidate everyone, he had just fused a wisp of holy might onto the Holy Light Avenue.

"Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me." Seeing that the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion was eager to try his divine sword, Lü Yao knew that the Holy Son had recognized him and wanted to challenge him. So he pointed a finger at the sky.

There was no sign of divine power fluctuations or Daoist aura flowing; only a beam of holy light shot into the sky, and the strange phenomenon of purple qi coming from the east quickly collapsed.

The three thousand miles of purple aura vanished without a trace in an instant, and the sky returned to its original state.

"I concede." The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion's pupils widened in shock. He made a decisive move, sheathed his Purple Gold Sword, and left the Dao Platform without any hesitation.
