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

Chapter 151 Nine-Colored Sacred Flame

"No, this isn't the power of a single Imperial Rune, but the effect of all Imperial Runes combined!"

After carefully studying the purple imperial script, Zhang Taichu discovered that its function was not to enter the divine forbidden zone, but to promote the fusion of all imperial scripts.

"The reason we were able to enter the Divine Forbidden Zone so quickly was because the purple Imperial Rune resonated with the other seven Imperial Runes, resulting in a brief fusion phenomenon."

"It's somewhat similar to the Great Emperor Scripture. Each Great Emperor Scripture contains nine Emperor characters, and these nine Emperor characters are all from the same source, so it's easy to integrate them."

"But the nine immortal metals are not interconnected and cannot be fused under normal circumstances. Even if one tries to fuse them by relying on one's understanding of the Great Dao, one can only achieve the fusion of two or three imperial scripts. It is simply impossible to fuse all nine directly."

"However, the Divine Mark Purple Gold Imperial Runes can forcibly fuse nine Imperial Runes, and the effect of fusing nine Imperial Runes is a divine restriction!"

Zhang Taichu sat cross-legged in the ruins and, after some research, made a discovery.

The fusion of just eight Imperial Scripts is enough to enter the Divine Forbidden Realm in a short time; if nine were fused together—

"Wouldn't that mean one could instantly enter the divine forbidden zone? Or even remain permanently within it?!"

Zhang Taichu can now enter the Divine Forbidden Zone in three minutes, but this is actually just the effect of the fusion of seven and a half Imperial Scripts.

The Divine Mark Purple Gold Emperor Script is incomplete, only half of it, and the Feathered Azure Gold Emperor Script is completely missing. If this half-emperor script were completed, it might actually become a permanent fixture in the Divine Restriction.

"Permanently residing in the Divine Forbidden Zone is considered a passive skill of the Great Emperor, but it is not exclusive to the Great Emperor. When Ye Fan achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, he was almost able to permanently reside in the Divine Forbidden Zone."

"The statement that the fusion of the Nine Secrets is comparable to immortal techniques was also verified in the final chapter of Shrouding the Heavens, proving that its power is indeed incomparably strong."

"Now that I have combined the nine great immortal golden mysteries, it should be no weaker than the combination of the nine secrets. Although I have only just begun to comprehend it, it is reasonable to have gained a passive ability that is permanently enshrined in the divine restriction."

Zhang Taichu became more and more excited as he thought about it, but having experienced the trials of the mortal world, he quickly regained control of his emotions.

"It's too early to think about these things now. Based on the current situation, we will definitely have to wait until we comprehend the Azure Gold Ascension Mystery before we can complete the Divine Mark Purple Gold Mystery."

"As for comprehending the profound meaning of Ascension to Azure Gold, I can only think of two methods, or rather, two Imperial Scriptures."

"These are the Feathered Emperor's Feathered Transformation Scripture and the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing's Demon Emperor Scripture."

"Just from the name, you can tell the connection between the Feathered Ascension Scripture and the Demon Emperor Scripture. The Demon Emperor Scripture is related to the Demon Emperor Ruler, the imperial weapon of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing. Even if that Demon Emperor Ruler is broken, the fragments of the imperial weapon alone can force a Great Sage to transform into the Dao. And the essence of Feathered Ascension Azure Gold is transformation into the Dao!"

In Zhang Taichu's understanding, the power of transformation is extremely terrifying; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the most terrifying power in the world of "Covering the Sky".

For powerful cultivators, the most feared thing is probably the attainment of Dao Transformation.

The thought of such a complete disintegration and soul-dissipation is terrifying.

Even a great emperor, if he doesn't sever his own flesh and seal it into the divine source, will ultimately perish.

In other words, even the Great Emperors must avoid the power of transformation, which is why very few people cultivate this law. Zhang Taichu read through the entire text of Shrouding the Heavens and found that the only people who mainly cultivate this law are probably the Feathered Emperor and the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.

"Unfortunately, neither of these two imperial scriptures is easy to obtain. The Ascension Scripture should be inside the Ascension Ancestral Temple in Zhongzhou, but that ancestral temple is extremely dangerous. Ye Fan only entered it when he was a second-level immortal."

"Not to mention the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Demon Emperor Ruler is stored on the ancient road of the human race, and without a Saint Realm, it is very easy to perish if you want to step onto the ancient road of the human race. They are all very troublesome."

"unless----"

Zhang Taichu's heart stirred, and he thought of the Southern Demon siblings and the Demon Emperor's Palace in the Southern Ridge.

The Demon Emperor's Palace is the lineage left behind by the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing. It should be understood that it has the inheritance of the Demon Emperor's Scripture, but it's hard to say for sure.

"Try to make contact with the Southern Demon and find out the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor's Scripture. If you can't find it, then you'll have to try and get your hands on the Feathered Ancestral Temple."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Taichu cleared away the surrounding ruins and stepped in front of the two holy maidens. His almost immortal aura filled the two women's eyes with admiration and envy as they looked at him.

"Tai Chu, you've entered the Divine Forbidden Zone again? It seems you're becoming more and more familiar with its use."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi naturally walked to Zhang Taichu's side and even reached out to touch him.

Not to be outdone, Yao Xi also came over and started getting handsy.

Zhang Taichu, being confined to the divine realm, not only possesses an appearance close to that of an immortal, but also a mindset almost akin to the Dao. He wouldn't feel embarrassed if someone touched him a couple of times.

Or perhaps, the Great Dao itself is willing to be close to people, but unfortunately, people often regard the Great Dao as too lofty and high, thus losing the opportunity to get close to it.

"I wasn't confident about entering the innermost part of the Fire Domain before, but now I'm somewhat confident. You guys wait here for me, I'll go and try to see if I can take away that ball of immortal fire."

"9

Zhang Taichu took a step and instantly arrived at the eighth level of the Fire Domain, the area where the seven-colored flames were located.

He activated the Immortal Fire Technique, and the seven-colored flames not only did not harm him in the slightest, but even provided him with continuous energy.

Being surrounded by flames, it would be difficult for Zhang Taichu to experience a lack of magical power.

Stepping into the ninth level of the Fire Domain, the flames here are called the Nine-Colored Sacred Flame, a terrifying flame powerful enough to kill any second-level immortal, and even a king might not be able to withstand it.

At the center of the ninth level, there was a small tree. When Zhang Taichu activated his Origin Heaven Divine Eye, he discovered that the small tree was entirely composed of flames, which was the most mysterious flame in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, the Immortal Flame.

Legend has it that it once burned immortals to death. Later, Ye Fan filled in some of the secrets of the character "者" and repaired the imperial weapon.

Even Gai Jiuyou only managed to temporarily recover to his full strength thanks to it, which allowed him to take a Dark Supreme down with him.

The Divine Forbidden State not only breaks through the Eight Forbidden Realms in combat power, but also greatly enhances abilities such as mana regeneration speed and environmental adaptability.

In just a few breaths, Zhang Taichu adapted to the high temperature, and the feeling of his whole body about to split apart was relieved a lot.

The fire-controlling gourd flew out and began to try to collect the nine-colored sacred fire. However, when the nine-colored sacred fire approached the mouth of the gourd, the entire gourd developed tiny cracks.

"Hmph, if the magic weapon isn't high enough, then reforge it!"

The entire fire-controlling gourd shattered instantly into eight pieces, and the flames inside burst out, enough to kill a powerful immortal of the second level.

However, it was not very effective against Zhang Taichu in his current state, especially since Zhang Taichu was under divine restraint, it was even more like scraping.

While using spatial techniques to trap the Nine-Colored Sacred Flame, he also reforged the Fire-Controlling Gourd.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the brand-new Fire-Controlling Gourd was completed. It then began to collect large quantities of the Nine-Colored Sacred Fire.

His action seemed to enrage the celestial fire, which spewed out dozens of small vermilion birds in one breath. The terrifying aura made Zhang Taichu turn around and run away without the slightest hesitation.

The little Vermilion Bird shrieked a few times, but couldn't catch up at all.

The Immortal Fire's counterattack was merely an instinctive reaction; after losing sight of Zhang Taichu, it retrieved all the little Vermilion Birds.

Zhang Taichu rushed out of the Fire Domain in one breath and directly met up with the two Holy Maidens. Without giving them time to ask questions, he used the teleportation jade platform to take them tens of thousands of miles away.

Only after completely getting away from the fire zone did Zhang Taichu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had already exited the state of divine restriction, and the near-immortal aura on his body had disappeared. The two women also breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Zhang Taichu, who was close to an immortal, at all times, they were under great psychological pressure.

"That was a close call. That ball of immortal fire could even kill a quasi-emperor. Luckily, I was cautious enough not to get too close, or I wouldn't be able to get back."

"But this time it wasn't all for naught. Not only did we reforge the Fire-Controlling Gourd, but we also obtained the Nine-Colored Sacred Fire from the ninth level."

The magic power was channeled into the fire-controlling gourd, making it transparent. The two holy maidens approached and immediately saw the nine-colored holy fire inside.

"Is this the flame of the ninth level of the Fire Domain?"

Although separated by the fire-controlling gourd, the two women still felt an intense burning sensation, which not only affected their bodies but also damaged their souls.

They instinctively used their divine sense to scan, but were immediately burned and almost cried out in pain.

"This can only be considered the afterglow of the immortal fire. Its power is far less than that of the immortal fire itself, but it is still far stronger than the seven-colored flames of the eighth level of the fire domain."

"If it's that terrifying, wouldn't it be useful in battle?"

Zhang Taichu nodded slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, this flame can definitely damage even a King-level weapon; it would probably burn to death upon contact. Speaking of which, with this flame, the Yin-Yang Mirror should be able to be repaired."

The Yin-Yang Mirror is a great sacred weapon and was once the most treasured artifact of the Yin-Yang Sect.

The main reason why the Yin-Yang Sect's headquarters was razed to the ground by Jiang Taixu using the Hengyu Furnace was that the Yin-Yang Mirror was gone. It was not only stolen by Zhang Taichu, but also damaged.

Otherwise, even if they are still no match for Jiang Taixu, there is still a good chance of escaping with the Daoist lineage.

Unlike now, although there are still some scattered remnants of their power, they can no longer be considered the supreme sect of Zhongzhou.

In short, with the help of the Nine-Colored Sacred Flame, Zhang Taichu advanced further in the Immortal Flame Technique, reaching the ninth level.

Although it has only progressed by one level, its power has increased several times. Now, the flames of the Immortal Fire Technique can not only burn to death a second-level Immortal, but can even threaten a King.

With the help of the Immortal Fire Technique, the Yin-Yang Mirror was finally restored.

As is customary, Zhang Taichu added some Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold during the repair process, successfully gaining the right to use the Yin-Yang Mirror and no longer needing to worry about being summoned back by the remnants of the Yin-Yang Sect.

While Zhang Taichu was repairing the Yin-Yang Mirror, the Ji family caused quite a stir.

"Eighth Ancestor, why did you agree to the Wang family's early engagement?"

Ji Ziyue's father glared at Ji Laoba with a grim expression. In terms of seniority, Ji Laoba was of the same generation as the Holy Master of the Ji family, several generations higher than Ji Ziyue's father.

"What difference does it make sooner or later? Besides, the Wang family has increased the dowry for this matter. You should be happy."

"Eighth Ancestor, can't you see this is a conspiracy? The Wang family is using my daughter as a pawn, I won't agree to it!"

"Bang"

Ji Laoba slammed his fist on the table.

"Ji Yanzhi, you are not yet the Holy Lord of the Ji family, you have no right to yell at me. In short, this is a decision made by the family's higher-ups, you have no choice but to obey. Guards, throw him out! I don't want to see him again before the engagement with the Wang family!"

Ji Ziyue's father, Ji Yanzhi, was driven away in a fit of rage. Although he was a tough guy, he was only so-so in strength and was just a display of impotent rage.

At the same time, the news of Wang Teng and Ji Ziyue's engagement being brought forward spread quickly under the deliberate actions of the Wang family. Their sole purpose was to lure Ye Fan, Zhang Taichu, and others to the scene so that they could eliminate them and settle all past grievances.
