Covering the Sky: I Created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the Mythical Era

Li Ming spoke directly, voicing his doubts.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded, then shook his head.

"It was mainly Lingbao Tianzun who killed that crippled immortal; this old Daoist only lent a hand!"

"I have been sleeping here for about 100,000 years. This place can be considered one of the Taoist temples of the ancient times."

Li Mingmin noticed the number "tens of thousands of years" and realized that the Celestial Venerable of Morality was likely buried here and his body had become sentient.

"As for the corpse of that crippled immortal, after I studied it for a while, Lingbao Tianzun took it away, intending to devour the corpse of the crippled immortal, seize its essence, and live a new life."

“But I’ve tried to take a different path!” said the Celestial Venerable of Morality. “I see that you, fellow Daoist, have also lived a new life through your own abilities. Perhaps we can explore this issue together!”

It turns out that the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure really did have some interaction, and the Celestial Venerable of Morality even helped the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure.

No wonder he vaguely felt that the Duren Jing (Scripture of Salvation) and the Dao Jing (Taoist scriptures) were connected, and that there was even some content about the Duren Jing in the Dao Jing.

It seems that the relationship between Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun is much closer than people imagine.

"How is Lingbao Tianzun doing now?"

"Is he still alive?"

"Have you successfully lived out this new life?"

Li Ming is very concerned about this issue.

The Four Swords of Immortal Slaying, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable Formation Diagram, the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the killing of crippled immortals, the creation of the Salvation Scripture, and the pacification of the corpse calamity—the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable is undoubtedly a heavyweight character in the original text.

Unfortunately, by Ye Fan's time, they were already long dead.

Now that Li Ming has personally experienced this era, he has come to realize just how formidable Lingbao Tianzun truly was.

It seems that, apart from the Emperor and the Underworld Lord, Lingbao Tianzun has the most rebirths.

Of course, there might also be the Moral Celestial Venerable before us.

However, Li Ming felt that this Moral Celestial Venerable might not be the real Moral Celestial Venerable.

It is the Moral Celestial Venerable after the corpse has been communicated with by spirits.

However, the state of the Moral Celestial Venerable is somewhat different from that of the Underworld Venerable Duan De.

The Celestial Master seems to have retained more memories, keeping a complete record of himself.

The spirit that communicated with the corpse even believed itself to be the Moral Celestial Venerable.

Li Ming vaguely sensed the problem, but did not point it out.

The Moral Celestial shook his head.

"I don't know how Lingbao Tianzun is doing now."

"After we killed that crippled True Immortal back then, we carefully studied his corpse."

"Later, Lingbao Tianzun attempted to transform in his own way."

"And I am buried in this world, trying to transform."

"My transformation has now been successful."

"But I did not detect the aura of Lingbao Tianzun."

"However, I have a vague feeling that Lingbao Tianzun may have transformed somewhere."

"As for when he will succeed, or whether he can defy fate and return, this old Taoist priest doesn't know either."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality said with some regret.

It seems that Lingbao Tianzun was an old friend of his, and he felt somewhat regretful that his old friend could not be successfully resurrected.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality stood up and led Li Ming deeper into the palace.

This island has a magnificent palace complex, like a heavenly palace in a fairyland.

Li Ming and the Celestial Venerable of Morality each sat cross-legged on a Taoist altar.

This island is truly amazing. To Li Ming's surprise, he discovered that the Celestial Venerable of Morality actually possessed a demigod-like herb.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the semi-divine herb, He Shou Wu.

Ye Fan ended up in the secluded Kunlun Mountains.

Unexpectedly, it is now in the hands of the Moral Celestial Venerable.

Of course, it may be the Moral God he actively followed.

There is a divine spring flowing here, and the ground is covered with immortal herbs, which are more than enough to grow here.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not seem to care about these things, nor did he deliberately seek the elixir of immortality.

Having reached his level of cultivation, he must have already taken the elixir of immortality.

Here, the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the weapon of the Moral Celestial Venerable, rises and falls in the chaos.

It's astonishing that the Celestial Venerable of Morality has naturally evolved a small world here, attempting to evolve a celestial realm.

Could this be the result of his research on the corpses of true immortals?

"I never imagined that the secret realm you created would be so different from those created by other Heavenly Venerables."

"It does indeed seem to be evolving in the direction of the Immortal Realm."

"I truly admire you!" Li Ming said politely.

"You flatter me, Demon Lord!"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality shook his head: "It was just a little insight gained while studying the corpses of True Immortals; it cannot evolve into a true Immortal Realm."

Li Ming took a sip of the divine liquid given to him by the Celestial Venerable of Morality and was surprised to find that a mysterious warm aura flowed through his body, which actually extended his lifespan.

Li Ming was also taken aback. Although he had never taken the elixir of immortality, he was still very interested in treasures that could extend lifespan.

I never imagined that the elixir of immortality that the Celestial Venerable Morality offered me would have such an effect.

Clearly, the Celestial Venerable was also very satisfied with Li Ming's response.

A hint of smugness was even visible in the smile on his face.

Li Ming suddenly remembered that in Ye Fan's era, there was an ancient venerable who killed those Great Perfection Saint Spirits and then refined divine liquid.

Could this be something created by the Holy Spirit?

Sure enough, the Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded: "I accidentally killed two Holy Spirit Supremes and used their brewed immortal elixir!"

Li Ming nodded: "This thing is indeed very good!"

"I came here to ask the elders about the secrets of longevity and to hear about Lingbao Tianzun."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded: "Don't you feel that the environment here is very strange?"

"Yes, it's like a mysterious prison!" This was Li Ming's true feeling.

"That's right, this is indeed a prison!"

"And it has been passed down from an unknown era to the present!"

"The Celestial Venerable Lingbao even suspected that this might be a prison personally set up by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor back then!"

"They are all the most heinous criminals imprisoned here. They will never be able to escape from here and will eventually be trapped and die here!"

"A real immortal was even imprisoned here!"

The Supreme Lord of Morality spoke with a solemn expression.

"Was this place discovered by Lingbao Tianzun?"

"No, I found this place first!"

"Back when I was cultivating and meditating here with Lingbao Tianzun, we happened to encounter that bloodied True Immortal who had fallen into this world from a rift in the Immortal Realm..."

That's how coincidental things are.

The newly transformed Lingbao Tianzun is currently at his peak.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality is also at his peak.

They were extremely excited to face a True Immortal with a broken bloodline.

Faced with two incredibly powerful Celestial Venerables, this crippled True Immortal met a tragic end.

"Lingbao Tianzun trapped that True Blood Remnant Immortal with an array diagram, and then used four Immortal-Slaying Swords to annihilate that True Immortal's primordial spirit!"

"We both observed the body of that crippled True Immortal together and benefited immensely."

Li Ming nodded after hearing what the Celestial Venerable of Morality said.

In a sense, the corpse of a true immortal is more precious than ordinary immortal artifacts.

Because true immortals are truly living beings, while immortal artifacts are not beings with physical bodies.

"And then what happened?" Li Ming pressed.

"Later, Lingbao Tianzun sealed it away with the body of the true immortal."

"It's what I told you before: Lingbao Tianzun wants to use this immortal's corpse to live a new life."

"As for whether it will succeed, I really don't know."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming said, "Have you ever deduced a similar scene, where the body of Lingbao Tianzun transformed into a world?"

"The skull transformed into a life-bearing planet?"

Recalling the fate of Lingbao Tianzun in the original text, Li Ming asked.

The Supreme Lord of Morality made a slight deduction, and his expression immediately changed repeatedly.

"This actually seems real!"

"It seems like it really will happen in the future!"

"But the celestial secrets are in chaos, and it seems like it's all a lie, it hasn't happened yet, so there seems to be a chance for things to turn around!"

Li Ming had not expected that Lingbao Tianzun would have so many opportunities for good fortune.

It's true that success and failure both stem from the immortals.

In the original text, the remnant immortal, after his corpse became sentient, should have perished together with Lingbao Tianzun.

Now that Li Ming has dealt with the primordial spirit of that corpse after it was connected with a spirit, then Lingbao Tianzun probably won't have died so tragically, right?

Unlike the original story, the body won't explode into ashes and evolve into the world.

Think about Lingbao Tianzun. If he hadn't committed suicide and had truly lived a new life, his strength would likely have become the strongest.

Lingbao Tianzun, who has lived through five lifetimes, is likely stronger than Li Ming, Dizun, and Mingzun.

This Lingbao Heavenly Venerable is terrifying beyond belief.

Li Ming's killing of that old ghost, the Tengshe True Immortal, seems to have actually changed the fate of Lingbao Tianzun.

"In fact, the ancient celestial beings who did not die may not be just the two of us."

“I have studied many ancient legends, and through clues, I have discovered that the first of the nine Heavenly Venerables, the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable, may not have died. He may also be undergoing an amazing transformation, and one day, he may return against the heavens!” The Moral Heavenly Venerable looked at Li Ming and said with a solemn expression.

Chapter 25 The Aura of the True Dragon Elixir

"A Celestial Venerable Transcending Tribulation!" Li Ming was also taken aback.

It's unbelievable that the Celestial Venerable of Morality now knows about the Celestial Venerable of Tribulation.

And they actually guessed right.

After successfully undergoing transformation, the Heavenly Venerable who transcended tribulation became, in people's eyes, a spirit of the corpse who re-attained the Dao, a Netherworld Venerable, or a Netherworld Emperor.

In the original text, the Underworld Lord was constantly reincarnated, and by Ye Fan's time, he had become Duan De.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable of Morality was also constantly reincarnating, his corpse becoming spiritually connected, and in Ye Fan's era, he became Lao Tzu.

"Please enlighten me, Venerable Morality!" Li Ming thought for a moment, wanting to learn more from the Venerable Morality.

"I have only found a few clues; whether it is true or not, you will have to judge for yourself!" said the Celestial Venerable of Morality with a smile.

"After the end of the Hades era, the first enlightened being of the mythical age, the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, was a very mysterious person."

No one knows his background or can deduce his origins; all that is known is that he is extremely mysterious!
