In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

"That's a dragon?!"

"Nine dragons! And they're pulling something behind them, it looks like a coffin?"

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin? Is this some kind of ancient aristocratic family's entourage? To be sitting in a coffin like this, such unconventional taste is beyond the comprehension of us mortals!"

Like everyone around him, twenty-year-old Zhang Taichu was looking up at the sky. Although he could only vaguely see a shadow, the imposing aura made everyone who saw it instantly realize that it was a dragon!

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin? Nine dragons pulling a coffin! Ah... my head hurts so much!"

Zhang Taichu suddenly clutched his head in his hands and squatted on the ground in pain. No one around him came forward to ask what was wrong; instead, they kept their distance from him as if he were a plague.

There was no other way. Zhang Taichu's clothes were tattered and ragged, typical beggar's clothes. He hadn't bathed for years, making him smelly all over. Now that he was ill, he was definitely someone strangers should avoid.

It took Zhang Taichu a good ten minutes for his headache to subside, and at the same time, a memory of cattle and horses flooded his mind.

"I...I've transmigrated? My soul transmigrated? My body transmigrated? No, it's more like I've been reincarnated and awakened some mystery from my womb!"

Slowly rising to his feet, Zhang Taichu shook his still slightly dizzy head and looked up again. By then, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin had vanished.

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin, the Big Dipper, the Eastern Wilderness... In other words, I've transmigrated into the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and I'm even a native of the Big Dipper? I didn't even get Ye Fan's identity? Holy crap!"

The sudden shout of "national essence" pushed the people around him even further away.

"The Buddhist ritual implements of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the sacred fruits and divine spring water of the ancient forbidden land, and the self-created Sea of ​​Bitterness—all these opportunities are gone!"

In his anxiety and frustration, Zhang Taichu let out a few loud farts. He had eaten too many sweet potatoes at noon. Although they weren't called sweet potatoes in Beidou, they were the same thing.

"Calm down, I need to calm down. I guess there are too many people who have transmigrated into the world of 'Covering the Sky' like Ye Fan, or too many people riding the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, so God just skipped all of them and threw me directly into the Big Dipper, getting me there in one step!"

"On the bright side, although I missed so many opportunities, at least I didn't have decades of lifespan taken away by the power of the Ancient Forbidden Land. That's a good thing, right?"

After comforting himself, Zhang Taichu quickly composed himself and began planning for the future.

"First, based on my memories, I know that I am currently in a small town called Majiabao, which belongs to a small state called Zhou. This state never appeared in the original story, and it is probably a small state like Yan."

When Zhang Taichu thought of the Yan Kingdom, he immediately thought of Yandu, where Xiao Nannan was located. That was the Dao Fruit of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"If I could find Xiao Nannan in advance, I might be able to get on Ye Fan's good side through her. However, I don't have any information about Yandu in my memories of the past twenty years."

Considering the vastness of the Big Dipper, which far exceeds the size of the real Earth, even between two neighboring countries, an ordinary person might not be able to reach it even in a lifetime. Moreover, the Big Dipper is a world inhabited by monsters, which is far more terrifying than bandits.

"I'm just a mortal now. I'd probably be swallowed by some unknown monster even if I went into the wilderness, so finding Xiao Nannan is a no-go."

"Besides, even if you got to know Ye Fan, it wouldn't matter. Given Ye Fan's state of being on the run in the early stages, getting close to him would only lead to a quicker death."

Zhang Taichu rejected the plan and prepared to try to find any cultivators nearby to see if he could learn cultivation methods. At the very least, he needed to have some self-defense capabilities before considering anything else.

Just then, a surge of power coursed through his body. Zhang Taichu's eyes lit up. He looked around first, then turned and ran toward his home.

It was called a home, but it was actually a half-collapsed small temple outside the city. It used to be a place similar to a local shrine, but due to the continuous natural disasters in recent years, the statues in the temple were smashed by angry people, so it became a home for beggars.

Previously, Zhang Taichu and several other old beggars lived here, but a year ago a natural disaster struck, and those old beggars couldn't survive and died. So this place became Zhang Taichu's alone.

Back in his doghouse, Zhang Taichu used the half-open door panel to block the entrance, then sat cross-legged on the hay.

In a moment of calm, Zhang Taichu entered a state similar to meditation and clearly saw the dark, lifeless ocean within his body. Yes, it was the Bitter Sea, a unique cultivation organ in the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

Beneath the sea of ​​suffering lies the wheel of life, which is most valued by all living beings in the world.

Zhang Taichu counted and found that there were twenty scratches on his life wheel, which corresponded exactly to his age.

"I sensed the Sea of ​​Bitterness? I remember in the original story, it took Pang Bo and Ye Fan several months to sense the Wheel of Life and the Sea of ​​Bitterness. I was able to sense it instantly because of it."

In Zhang Taichu's perception, within his ordinary, standard mortal body's sea of ​​suffering, there was an aura flashing with nine-colored divine light rapidly swirling.

It swam as fast as lightning, yet remained completely silent. If Zhang Taichu hadn't been the master of the Bitter Sea, he probably wouldn't have even been able to sense it.

Moreover, every time the nine-colored aura circled the Sea of ​​Bitterness, its size or density would increase slightly.

As Zhang Taichu focused his attention on the nine-colored aura, a flood of information suddenly rushed into his mind, and in an instant he understood what it was.

"Primordial Qi is the first power to appear at the beginning of the universe. It is the initial form of all things and can also be said to be the ancestor of all spirits."

"The incomplete primordial energy within me cannot create all things; it can only create the nine immortal metals in a specific direction!"

"The Nine Great Immortal Golds! What are they again? Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Immortal Tear Green Gold, Feather Transformation Azure Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, Divine Mark Purple Gold, and Dragon Pattern Black Gold."

"These are the ones that have been clearly mentioned in the original work. There are two more that even the red-haired monster didn't write about. They probably just didn't want to write them. According to the analysis of the experts on the forum, the red-haired monster probably arranged the nine immortal golds according to the colors of the seven colors of light and the two colors of black and white."

"In other words, we are still missing two types of immortal gold: orange and white."

"And this incomplete version of the Primordial Qi within me can create these nine Immortal Metals on a one-to-one basis. Is this my cheat code?"

Zhang Taichu was very excited because the Nine Immortal Golds were exclusive materials for forging Emperor Weapons and Ancient Emperor Weapons. They were treasures that even Great Emperors would fight for, and they were priceless.

"In the original story, the reason why Ye Fan was hated by everyone in the early stages was because he possessed the Source Root of All Things Mother Qi. The Source Root of All Things Mother Qi, like the Nine Immortal Golds, is an exclusive material for forging Emperor Weapons."

"So, does that mean I can sell immortal gold to make money? Or use it to exchange for cultivation resources, or even join a powerful sect?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Zhang Taichu crushed it.

"If I, a mere mortal, were to rashly take out immortal gold, what awaits me is not wealth and glory, but death. Those powerful forces in the Big Dipper would crush me without hesitation."

"It seems I need to carefully plan how to utilize this cheat code."
