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

"We'll think about how to use it later. For now, let's try making a piece of immortal gold... let's make dragon-patterned black gold, black is relatively low-key."

Under Zhang Taichu's control, the Primordial Qi hidden in his Sea of ​​Bitterness began to rise, instantly soaring into the air like a dragon emerging from the sea, arriving above the Sea of ​​Bitterness. The originally lifeless Sea of ​​Bitterness immediately became turbulent.

The primordial energy, flowing like lightning, began to glow at its very tip. The nine-colored divine light turned pure black and then coalesced into a small dot.

As more and more primordial energy gathered, the small dot transformed from an illusion into a solid entity, and its size grew larger and larger, with a piece of metal vaguely visible.

When the Primordial Qi was more than half depleted, Zhang Taichu stopped his actions, and the out-of-control Primordial Qi sank back into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Zhang Taichu focused his attention on the black metal and discovered that it shimmered with black light. Indeed, black and light, two things that should be opposites, were perfectly blended together.

On the surface of the metal are dragon-shaped patterns.

"Is this the Dragon Pattern Black Gold? It really is very lifelike. The imperial weapon made of this kind of immortal gold in Shrouding the Heavens is undoubtedly the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron of Yao Guang. Speaking of which, nothing was ever said about this cauldron in the end."

Zhang Taichu thought for a moment, unable to recall whether the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron was destroyed in the Dark Turmoil, shattered by Ye Fan, or had been preserved in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Zhang Taichu shifted his focus from the dragon-patterned black gold to the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and quickly discovered that the remaining half of the Primordial Qi was gradually recovering. In other words, the creation of Immortal Gold was not a one-off transaction.

"That puts my mind at ease. Now let's see if we can get the Dragon Pattern Black Gold out."

With a thought, the black and gold dragon pattern above the Sea of ​​Bitterness disappeared and appeared in the palm of his right hand the next moment as a small black ball about one centimeter in diameter.

Before Zhang Taichu could even complain about the size of the immortal gold, a surge of mysterious information flooded into his mind.

"This is... the profound secrets of immortal metal cultivation?! So the cheat system has hidden perks!"

The so-called profound meaning of immortal gold has two clearly recorded in the original work: one is the rebirth power of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, and the other is the power of capturing Dao traces of Divine Mark Purple Gold.

The former is the immortal emperor's method of achieving immortality. As a phoenix of the immortal realm, he loves phoenix blood and crimson gold the most. The method by which the immortal emperor devoured the origins of emperors and ancient emperors, lived life after life, and finally became a mortal immortal was inspired by the profound meaning of phoenix blood and crimson gold.

The profound mysteries of the Divine Mark Purple Gold made Ye Fan's second disciple, Xiao Song, a child with a pure heart. Combined with the pine tower made entirely of Divine Mark Purple Gold, Xiao Song never lacked imperial scriptures throughout its life, and even knew several forbidden secret techniques of the Great Emperor.

In this respect, Ye Fan envied his disciple. After all, in order to obtain a forbidden secret technique of an emperor in the early stages, Ye Fan used all sorts of tricks and deceptions to obtain it!

Xiao Song, relying on pine cones, easily obtained several kinds; it's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

It makes no sense that Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and Divine Mark Purple Gold possess the profound mysteries of immortal gold while the other seven do not. The profound mysteries of immortal gold that Zhang Taichu has comprehended are those of Dragon Pattern Black Gold.

"Is this... a secret technique that devours the life essence of all things?"

Upon discovering that it was a Devouring-type profound technique, Zhang Taichu immediately thought of the Ruthless Great Emperor's Devouring Demon Art. Then, considering that the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron of Yao Guang was also crafted by the Ruthless Great Emperor, he instantly felt that it made perfect sense.

"In other words, when the Ruthless Great Emperor created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he was also inspired by the profound mysteries of immortal metals, which makes sense... Wait, judging from the later content of Shrouding the Heavens, not all the Great Emperors mastered the profound mysteries of immortal metals."

"The functions of many imperial weapons and ancient royal weapons seem to have nothing to do with the profound mysteries of immortal metal. For example, the Hengyu Furnace is made of phoenix blood crimson gold. If Emperor Hengyu has truly mastered the profound mysteries of immortal metal, then the Hengyu Furnace should be able to repair itself without Ye Fan having to do so."

Both contain Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, but the Undying Heavenly Blade was repaired by the rebirth power of the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold after being interrupted by the fully revived Devouring Demon Jar. The Hengyu Furnace, however, could not do the same. Keep in mind that the Undying Heavenly Blade was not a celestial weapon at the time, so theoretically, even if it was stronger than the Hengyu Furnace, it wouldn't be much stronger.

"In other words, the Undying Emperor is far superior to Emperor Hengyu in comprehending the profound mysteries of Immortal Metal. This means that even an Emperor might not be able to fully comprehend the profound mysteries of Immortal Metal. So how did I comprehend it so easily? It's impossible that I have higher talent than Emperor Hengyu, right?"

As a transmigrator, Zhang Taichu naturally wouldn't feel inferior, but he wasn't so arrogant as to think that he, a mere mortal, could surpass the Great Emperor in talent and comprehension. The only explanation was that he had a cheat code.

He refocused his mind on the primordial energy within his body, consuming a small wisp once more to create a divine mark of purple gold, half a centimeter in diameter.

When he retrieved it from the sea of ​​suffering, Zhang Taichu comprehended the profound mystery of the Divine Mark Purple Gold, which is to capture the power of Dao Marks. This allows him to go to the secluded places of powerful figures, capture the remaining Dao Marks there, and thus learn the corresponding secret techniques or even the scriptures of the Great Emperor.

"I think I understand now. The reason I was able to grasp the profound meaning of immortal metal so easily is because I witnessed the entire process of immortal metal coming into existence from nothing. In reality, however, immortal metal may take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to come into existence from nothing."

"The formed immortal metal is already a perfect creation. To reverse the process and comprehend the mysteries of immortal metal is difficult even for a Great Emperor. Perhaps only someone with unparalleled talent like the Ruthless Great Emperor could do it."

"Only beings from the Immortal Realm like the Undying Emperor, who are naturally compatible with it, can achieve this. As for Xiao Song, he is similar to the Undying Emperor; his pure heart is very compatible with the Divine Mark Purple Gold. If it were any other immortal gold, it probably wouldn't work."

After understanding the reason, Zhang Taichu was extremely shocked. He had finally found the correct way to use his cheat system.

"It's not about selling immortal gold, but about using the profound mysteries of immortal gold to forge an unprecedented path to heaven. This path doesn't rely on physique or talent; it belongs only to me. Haha, now I'm confident I can establish myself in the world of Shrouding the Heavens."

"No! It's not just about establishing myself; I want to become an emperor, a celestial emperor, and even live nine lifetimes in reverse, achieving immortality in the mortal world!"

With this newfound confidence, Zhang Taichu immediately began to take action.

"I have now sensed the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Wheel of Life. Next is to open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness and enter the first minor realm of the Wheel of Life. The original work has a detailed introduction to opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness. There are no special techniques. The main thing is to use great strength to make bricks fly."

"As long as there is sufficient life energy, even the sea of ​​suffering of an ancient holy body can be opened, let alone a mortal body like mine. And life energy comes from various spiritual medicines, such as herbal elixir and source stones."

"But I have an even better method now: using the immortal gold profound techniques of Dragon Pattern Black Gold to directly devour the life force of living beings. Coincidentally, there's been a bear that's been frequently appearing outside the city lately, and it's already killed several people. That's it!"
