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

"Is he a member of the Jiang family?" Ye Fan was now somewhat irritated by the word "Jiang," having been hunted by a large force of the Jiang family for over a month, even losing a liter of his holy blood.

“I told you about the Jiang family god-king from five thousand years ago,” Lü Yao said.

Ye Fan suddenly remembered that two or three years ago, Lü Yao had said that Jiang Tingting might be from the lineage of the God King, which had suffered internal strife and many members had left.

Ye Fan asked again, "I remember you said that this senior was suspected to be alive, but after being here for so long, he doesn't seem to have the aura of a living person."

Lu Yao said, "Back then, Jiang Taixu was the number one fighter in the Eastern Wilderness, a peak King. You don't understand yet how terrifying someone can reach the peak of King in this era."

"In this environment, he has reached the end of his divine body. By risking his life to enter Purple Mountain, he has a chance to survive by putting himself in a life-or-death situation."

"This action is in accordance with the mystery of life and death, and he may have gained a great deal. Therefore, based on the rumors in the Eastern Wilderness and the records in the internal books of the Yao Guang Holy Land, I speculate that he is probably still alive."

It should be noted that powerful cultivators such as the Twin Kings of Zhongzhou have survived to this day, let alone Jiang Taixu. This person who has experienced many tribulations, if he survives a second life, he truly has the potential to become a great emperor.

Fearing Ye Fan would ask again, Lü Yao made up another lie: "According to the records of Yao Guang, a sage once wandered into this place when he was young and seemed to have seen the figure of Jiang Taixu, but no one believed it and it was only recorded as an anecdote."

Ye Fan complained, "It's only been less than four years since I arrived, and you've already taken on the shape of the Yao Guang Holy Land, just like I am Yao Guang."

What? It's clearly the Yao Guang Holy Land that has taken my shape. Go ask around, who in Yao Guang isn't one of my people?

Lu Yao was unwilling to waste his breath on words and instead explored further.

Ye Fan caught up and asked, "If the Jiang family patriarch is really alive, what do you think would happen if we took him out and he met those good-for-nothing descendants of the Jiang family? Especially the Jiang family members who purged the God King lineage."

"There's a high probability they'll purge those unworthy descendants," Lu Yao replied casually. The Jiang family was actually better off than the Ji family; at least there were quite a few sensible people at the top.

After walking a few steps, Ye Fan saw many powerful cultivators leaving their writings. He read them line by line, but Lu Yao kept moving forward. Suddenly, he stopped and saw a line of delicate handwriting come into view. It was like a lotus flower in water, fresh and invigorating, as if it had a life of its own.

"Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, seeks Zhang Lin, and leaves this message before entering Demon Mountain."

Seeing this, Lü Yao touched the jade pendant belonging to Yaochi at his waist, then continued walking without paying it any mind.

There are many couples who are destined to be apart. Zhang Lin and Yang Yi are not the only couple, nor will they be the last. The Great Dao is what we cultivators should pursue.

If he hadn't inexplicably picked up that jade pendant, the name of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Yang Yi, would never have crossed his mind.

"Wait for me!" Ye Fan saw that Lü Yao's figure was about to disappear from sight, so he quickly caught up.

"I just counted, there are thirty-seven people who left their mark here. The most powerful one is an ancient expert named Gu Tianshu." Ye Fan caught up and sighed, "Even the most outstanding talents cannot resist the erosion of time."

Lu Yao didn't tell him that Gu Tianshu wasn't dead, but sealed in the source, slumbering deep in the Purple Mountain. Some of the Undying Emperor's subordinates and descendants were also sleeping inside.

His fingertips emanated divine power and emitted holy light, carving a line of words on the purple stone wall.

Although the principles and theories of the Hunyuan Holy Light Technique have been fully comprehended by Tai Chi Chuan, the signature technique of the Yao Guang Holy Land is still necessary when traveling in the Eastern Wilderness.

Ye Fan saw purple stone chips falling from the wall and read out the words: "Lu Daozu and Ye Tiandi entered Purple Mountain to inquire about the beginningless Dao."

what?

Who is Emperor Ye? I don't have the Dao Palace Secret Realm to seek the Dao of the Great Emperor Wushi!

Ye Fan actually claimed the title of Heavenly Emperor himself.

"Let's go." Lu Yao didn't give Ye Fan a chance to ask questions and walked directly into the purple cave.

The Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor simultaneously inquired about the Great Emperor Wushi—that was his honor! Ask around, who else has this privilege?

He still remembered that his Chaos Immortal Essence seemed to have been abandoned by the Great Emperor Wushi, and there were two buttock prints left on the Chaos Stone, which he guessed were left by the Great Emperor Wushi.

Now... Lü Yao's expression was unpredictable... Wu Shi left his buttocks mark on my gourd, this is a great cause and effect!

Later on, we might get Ye Tiandi, Da Nannan, and Duan De to beat him up.

But then again, we haven't heard from Duan De, the villain of Beidou, lately. In the past, we always heard about the ancestral tombs of some ancient sect being robbed, but there haven't been any news about him in the last six months.

Could he be brewing something big? Could he be digging up my Yao Guang Holy Land's ancestral graves? Or perhaps that huge tomb beneath the Yao Guang Holy Land?

Lost in thought, Lü Yao didn't even notice the seven glowing skeletons of powerful figures on the ground, and walked past them until Ye Fan called out to him:

"Old Lu, have you felt the demonic power getting stronger?"

Ye Fan suddenly grabbed his arm, his expression grave, and looked into the deeper depths.

Lu Yao focused his mind and sensed the demonic summoning power, which suddenly became two or three times stronger.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Don't be afraid, there is a supreme treasure left behind by the Great Emperor Wushi to suppress it here."

But he became increasingly cautious, because there were living ancient creatures here, all descendants of the Eight Legions or their servants, and perhaps one of them had awakened.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the Chaos Gourd above his head.

Because this is his artifact for cultivating both body and soul, any unusual activity within it cannot escape his perception.

Inside a small space within the Chaos Gourd, the Hundred Flowers Saintess's condition seemed somewhat off.

Lu Yao had long ago removed the Holy Light Chains and used the power within the gourd to firmly imprison her. She had lost all her divine power and was now just like an ordinary person.

But at this moment, she was extremely strange. The golden mask fell to the ground, and she lay there, her red dress fluttering, like the most beautiful phoenix flower.

The red birthmark on her face was now shining with divine light, hazy and multicolored, vaguely resembling a small phoenix, exuding a sense of majesty.

What made Lü Yao even more uneasy was that the majesty and aura flowing from the Hundred Flowers Saintess resonated with the demonic power deep within Purple Mountain, as if they came from the same source.

As expected, the Saintess of a Hundred Flowers and the Immortal Emperor were connected. Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Lü Yao became even more certain that his guess was correct.

Suddenly, he saw the Hundred Flowers Saintess open her eyes, which were bloodshot and her whole body was crimson, as if her blood was boiling.

She actually started scratching the birthmark on her face, scratching her entire face until it bled profusely.

"What's going on?!" Lu Yao was shocked. Why was this woman self-harming?

He quickly activated the "Soldier's Secret Technique," and the Chaos Gourd trembled. Chains appeared in the void inside, binding the Hundred Flowers Saintess tightly.

Lu Yao remained silent. He didn't know what the relationship was between the Hundred Flowers Saintess and the Undying Emperor, but it didn't seem very friendly right now.

It remains to be seen whether she can become the key to obtaining the Ancient Scripture of the Immortal Emperor.

He temporarily ignored the Hundred Flowers Saintess and focused his attention on Purple Mountain. The Azure Moon Holy Sword behind him emitted a blue ripple, isolating the demonic power three zhang away from him.

He stopped paying attention to the Hundred Flowers Saintess and looked at Ye Fan, only to see him holding the golden cone and standing still.

He asked curiously, "Ye Zi, why are you not leaving?"

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Secret of the Battle Character: I Will Transform into an Invincible Battle Immortal

Ye Fan scratched his head: "Am I hallucinating? Why does it feel like someone is talking? Aren't there no living humans here?"

All Ye Fan saw as he entered were skeletons. He thought that apart from ghosts and ancient creatures, it would be strange to see any living people here.

Lü Yao listened intently, but heard nothing.

Could it be Jiang Taixu? He was extremely weak at this moment, and even a single whispered message would likely require him to rest for a long time.

"It's not your imagination. Many of the ancient human sages who came here were very powerful. And since there's a source here, there might actually be some who survived."

Ye Fan suddenly thought of Lü Yao's speculation about Jiang Taixu: "Could it be that Jiang Taixu is still alive? No, there were thirty-seven people carving characters just now, but none of the seniors from Yao Guang were among them."

Ye Fan suddenly realized this loophole.

To everyone's surprise, Lü Yao looked at him like he was an idiot: "Does entering require leaving a mark? My ancestors felt their strength was too weak and only managed to come here by chance. Is it not acceptable to leave a mark?"

"You are... a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land?" A very weak voice came.

Ye Fan looked around warily: "Who's speaking?!"

"It's me... Jiang Taixu."

The weak voice was so faint it was almost inaudible and disjointed, but it stirred a wave of emotion within Ye Fan: Lü Yao is amazing, what he said is true.

He entered Zishan solely for the Yuantian Book; he didn't even consider rescuing Jiang Taixu or becoming his disciple.

Not to mention that he recently killed many members of the Jiang family, which extinguished his desire to obtain the Hengyu Scripture. He might as well follow Lü Yao to find the Western Emperor Scripture.

If Lü Yao hadn't been so certain that Jiang Taixu wasn't the same person as the current Jiang family, he would have wanted to run away by now.

Lu Yao sensed the source of the sound and said to Ye Fan, "Here, come with me."

He wandered around for a hundred feet, until he reached the end, where he led Ye Fan to a jade disc.

The jade disc was very smooth, like purple jade, bright and clear, clearly reflecting the figures of Lü Yao and Ye Fan.

But inside the jade disc, there were not only two figures, but also another tall and ferocious ancient creature.

It had a single horn between its eyebrows, six arms, two wings on its back, and its body was covered with fine scales.

"What is this?" Upon seeing this, Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine and took three steps back, a simple, dull golden cone appearing in his hand.

The golden cone was incredibly sturdy and exceptionally sharp, and had become an extremely useful weapon for attack.

Even Elder Hualong's magical artifact couldn't withstand a single gentle stroke from the golden cone.

Seeing that Lü Yao remained calm and composed, Ye Fan realized that he might have been overly frightened.

"Is there an ancient creature hiding in here?" Ye Fan walked to Lü Yao's side and asked softly, afraid that a loud voice would wake him up.

In those murals, strange creatures, once awakened, would bring endless slaughter and a sea of ​​blood.

“This is an invisible malevolent thought belonging to an ancient being, not a true life form.” Lu Yao’s calm tone reassured Ye Fan.

Although they hadn't encountered any major disasters along the way, this was the training ground of two emperors and sovereigns, so any danger was not out of the question.

Even a Dao-Slaying King was trapped and killed here, so the Dao protectors who are nowhere to be seen beside Lü Yao are probably of little use either.

The only things that might be useful are the golden cone in his hand and the holy sword on Lao Lü's back.

Lu Yao added, "If any of the ancient creatures here dare to appear, I will personally cut off their heads."

He added in his mind: "The ancestral kings among the Eight Legions do not count."

Ye Fan felt that Lü Yao's words were extremely domineering and made him feel exceptionally safe.

The weak voice appeared again: "He won't appear for now, you are not in danger."

"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked.

"God King Jiang Taixu".

"Senior is the God-King of the Jiang family from five thousand years ago?" Ye Fan glanced at Lü Yao. He had guessed correctly; the God-King was still alive.
