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

A dense aura of calamity erupted from Zhang Taichu, and then large patches of dark clouds began to gather above his head, eventually turning the entire sky pitch black.

At this time, Zhang Taichu had already left the old site of Yaochi. It wasn't that he couldn't undergo tribulation there, but rather that he was worried about affecting the Emperor's corpse.

After all, the Emperor's corpse is an inanimate object. Once it is subjected to a heavenly tribulation, unimaginable things may happen. Zhang Taichu did not want to risk his life, so he decisively left the old Yaochi site and underwent the tribulation in a desolate desert.

That's right, the profound mystery of the Dao Tribulation Gold is controlling the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the original novel, Ye Fan relied on the Heavenly Tribulation to overcome the strong and defeat the weak many times. He even survived several life-or-death crises by relying on the Heavenly Tribulation.

The ability to control heavenly tribulations actually appeared in the original work.

Yi Qingwu, the most beautiful woman on Ziwei Star, who was also the one who fought Ye Fan naked in the Goddess Furnace, once used this move on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan managed to dodge it using the "Travel" technique; otherwise, he would have enjoyed a free lightning service.

At this moment, Zhang Taichu's task was to use the Heavenly Tribulation to strike himself, thereby enjoying the treatment of a prodigy.

"Boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck Zhang Taichu directly before he could even react.

He turned black on the spot, and all his hair was gone.

"It hurts so much...it's fucking painful."

Before losing consciousness, Zhang Taichu dispersed the tribulation clouds in the sky. This is also the difference between the Immortal Gold Mystery and the real Heavenly Tribulation; it can be stopped at will.

After a long time, Zhang Taichu used the power of Nirvana to recover from his injuries for the third time. Fortunately, he had some spiritual medicine with him, otherwise he would have been severely injured.

"The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is so great. No wonder Ye Fan was able to kill a group of powerful enemies by relying on the Heavenly Tribulation. At the same time, one has to admire how thick the blood of the Ancient Sacred Body is."

"I was only hit once and I was half dead, but he was able to fight against others even under the heavenly tribulation. You can't argue with that, but..."

Feeling the faint thunderous power emanating from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and seeing its size increase by one-tenth, Zhang Taichu knew that being struck by lightning this time was well worth it.

"It seems I've found a way to strengthen it. The Heavenly Tribulation is very damaging, but it also has many benefits. No wonder the Black Emperor said in the original work that the Great Emperor Wushi was struck by lightning all the way to become a Great Emperor."

"In other words, if one has never even encountered a heavenly tribulation on the path of cultivation, then one cannot be considered a prodigy at all."

"I certainly can't be considered a prodigy, but I can forcibly enjoy the treatment of one... However, it seems the damage is a bit too much. Is there a gentler way?"

The so-called gentler approach is simply to enjoy the benefits while avoiding the damage from the heavenly lightning.

"The Soul-Shocking Bell is definitely not usable. It's a semi-sacred artifact now, and if it encounters a heavenly tribulation, it could very well trigger a sacred tribulation. Even a kingly tribulation is beyond my ability to withstand."

"Using immortal gold probably won't work either. We can't exactly use a Faraday cage, can we? Technological advancements aren't necessarily effective in the cultivation world. Besides, heavenly tribulations aren't just pure lightning; they're not so easy to deal with."

Suddenly, Zhang Taichu thought of the Heavenly Tribulation's mortal enemy, the divine spirit, and the various evil spirits of the underworld.

"These dark aspects are all completely suppressed by the Heavenly Tribulation, but conversely, if such things appear during the Heavenly Tribulation, the Tribulation's target will shift. If we utilize this principle..."

"Damn it! At worst, I'll get half-killed again, let's see what happens."

Zhang Taichu returned to the old site of Yaochi and used the Source Technique Array to forcibly capture dozens of female Yin Spirits from the Immortal Spring.

Then he quickly ran outside and activated the Immortal Gold Mystic Technique, attracting a heavenly tribulation.

Sure enough, as soon as the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, it struck down at the dozens of female spirits as if they were mortal enemies.

The female spirit didn't even have time to scream before she was struck by lightning and reduced to ashes. At that moment, Zhang Taichu dispelled the heavenly tribulation in time, and was spared from being struck by lightning again.

Just then, at the spot where the female spirit had vanished into nothingness, he discovered a powerful life energy.

Zhang Taichu immediately activated the Devouring Profound Technique to absorb this energy. In an instant, the volume of the Bitter Sea increased by one-twentieth, making it much weaker than before. Fortunately, he only enjoyed the benefits and was not harmed.

"It actually works? I can have a spirit take the lightning strike for me, then reap the rewards—perfect!"

As if he had found a way to get rich, Zhang Taichu began to frantically capture evil spirits and then kill them with lightning.

Ten days passed in this way, and his sea of ​​suffering had grown twice as large as it had at the beginning, to the point that he was even qualified to cultivate the phenomenon of the sea of ​​wheels.

One of the highlights of the early stages of "Covering the Sky" was the extraordinary phenomena of the various geniuses' seas of energy.

Things like "The Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea," "Planting a Golden Chain in the Sea of ​​Bitterness," "The Immortal King Descending to the Nine Heavens," and "The Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death," etc...

Not only is it incredibly powerful, but its strength is also enough to crush mediocre people of the same level.

However, to cultivate the Wheel Sea Phenomenon, one must have extremely strong resources, that is, the volume of the Bitter Sea must be large enough, and the magical power contained within must be sufficient.

The reason why people with special constitutions are more likely to cultivate extraordinary phenomena is because they have a deep foundation. If it were an ordinary cultivator, their meager life force in the sea of ​​suffering would not be able to evolve extraordinary phenomena.

Now Zhang Taichu feels that his Bitter Sea is almost ready to cultivate extraordinary phenomena. He only needs to expand the Bitter Sea several times over. However, the Yin Spirits in the Immortal Spring are not enough.

Standing by the Immortal Spring, he peered inside using his Heavenly Eye.

"I never imagined that one day I would feel that there weren't enough spirits."

At this time, the Yin spirits on the first level of the Immortal Spring had been cleared away by Zhang Taichu. The entire Immortal Spring has nine levels, with the deepest level containing the Western Queen Mother and the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

The more layers there are, the stronger the Yin spirits become. The Yin spirits closest to the Western Queen Mother and the Great Accomplished Holy Body have even reached the Great Saint level.

These evil spirits are simply beyond Zhang Taichu's current capabilities. Let alone a Great Sage level, he can't even handle a second-level Immortal. Even if he uses the Source Array, he can only kill powerful beings; capturing them alive is simply unrealistic.

However, all the Yin spirits below the Sendai realm had been used up, so Zhang Taichu's cheating cultivation method had to be paused.

"It seems I need to think of another way. Besides, I'm not in a hurry to reach the fourth level. There's still a lot of potential to be tapped in the first two realms."

With his available Yin spirits exhausted, Zhang Taichu returned to cultivating the Western Emperor Scripture and then periodically confronting the Western Empress Mother.

But just three days later, he learned from his clone that the Licheng incident was about to break out.

"Licheng? That's where the clues to the Xingzi Secret are located. Wait... if I remember correctly, the location of the Xingzi Secret map is a huge ancient tomb, which contains not only the map but also the bed of the Great Emperor Wushi."

"That bed was made from a single piece of Chaos Stone. Emperor Wushi took the immortal materials inside and used them to forge the Wushi Bell. The remaining Chaos Stone was used to make a bed."

"But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the tomb is teeming with evil spirits. Haha, isn't that a coincidence?"

Zhang Taichu immediately set off to meet up with his clone, and then charged towards Licheng, preparing to participate in the Licheng incident.

"By the way, Duan De will also appear in Licheng. He's the number one tomb raider in the world of 'Covering the Sky.' If we team up with him, we won't have to worry about not having enough Yin spirits."
