Covering the Sky: Simultaneous transmigration, but both clones are women.

"But the description of this technique looks rather strange."

"Whatever, let's give it a try!"

Ye Chen sat up cross-legged, placed his hands on his knees, and faced the sky.

Following the methods of the Heavenly Demon Scripture Wheel Sea Chapter, he began to sense himself.

Consciousness sinks into the body, searching for the legendary Wheel of Life in a state of chaos.

A moment later.

He seemed to have "seen" it.

Three inches below the navel, the Wheel of Life floats quietly, ancient and weathered, like a piece of uncarved jade.

Lun Hai.

The first stop in the cultivation journey of the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

To open the sea of ​​suffering, to reach the wheel of life, and to begin the path of spiritual practice.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and, following the methods of the Heavenly Demon Scripture, used heaven and earth as a furnace and all the myriad paths as fire, transforming them into an invisible chisel, fiercely chiseling towards the Wheel of Life.

boom!

A loud bang echoed in my mind.

The wheel of life trembled, and the dust on its surface fell away, revealing a crystal-clear corner underneath.

The sea of ​​suffering is about to open but has not yet opened.

Ye Chen was overjoyed and was about to continue circulating his energy.

however……

A moment later, his brows furrowed.

That newly awakened power, like a flame that has lost its support, gradually died out.

The crack in the sea of ​​suffering not only did not widen, but instead closed again.

"What happened?"

Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

He could sense that something was missing from the world.

That kind of thing is the nourishment that cultivators rely on for survival, and the foundation for the growth of all things.

The essence of heaven and earth.

Cultivation in the world of Shrouding the Heavens is essentially about absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to temper oneself and ultimately achieve a leap in one's life level.

But now, the essence of heaven and earth on Earth is so scarce that it is appalling.

It's like throwing a person who's dying of thirst into the desert. They have a shovel to dig a well, but there's no water underground.

No matter how deep you dig, it's all in vain.

"The Dharma-ending Age..."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, finally truly understanding the weight of those four words.

The Earth is not lacking in the essence of heaven and earth, but rather, it has far too little.

So little that it couldn't even keep the Sea of ​​Bitterness open.

He remained silent for a moment, recalling the settings of Earth from the original novel of Shrouding the Heavens.

Earth was anciently known as the Burial Emperor Star.

In ancient times, this place was a prosperous land for the human race, and various emperors and ancient kings left their footprints here.

However, as the essence of heaven and earth gradually diminished, the Dharma-ending Age began.

Most cultivators either die of old age or leave Earth to travel to other ancient planets with life.

The few remaining sects can only barely survive by relying on the blessed lands and spiritual veins left by their ancestors.

As for why the essence of heaven and earth has become so thin...

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, recalling a key setting from the original work.

Kunlun Mountain.

To be precise, it is the Immortal Pool in Kunlun Mountain.

The Immortal Pool is surrounded by ninety-nine Dragon Mountains, forming a protective array of nine dragons, gathering the essence of heaven and earth.

However, these ninety-nine dragon mountains were not formed naturally, but were arranged by people with great supernatural powers. Their purpose was to absorb the essence of heaven and earth from the entire earth and gather it into the Immortal Pool to nurture some kind of heaven-defying creature.

Later, the Ruthless Great Emperor shattered the ninety-nine dragon mountains with a single slap, causing the great formation to collapse.

Despite the collapse, the absorbed essence of heaven and earth did not return to the world. Instead, it was trapped inside by the remnants of the great formation in Kunlun Mountain, only able to enter but not exit.

Therefore, while other parts of the Earth have scarce spiritual energy, the Kunlun Mountains may contain a vast amount of spiritual energy.

As Ye Chen thought of this, a glint flashed in his eyes, then disappeared.

Go to Kunlun Mountain?

What a joke.

Putting aside the many dangerous and forbidden areas deep within the Kunlun Mountains, the residual power of the great formation remaining in the ninety-nine Dragon Mountains alone would be enough to give him a hard time.

In the original novel, what level of strength did Ye Fan possess to dare to explore the Kunlun Mountains?

Even beings at the Sendai level have to be extremely cautious. He hasn't even opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness yet. What's the difference between him going to Kunlun Mountain and suicide?

"Never mind, never mind."

Ye Chen waved his hand and lay back down on the bed. "Lying down is so much better, why bother with cultivating immortality!"

Cultivation is so arduous.

Meditation, breathing exercises, body tempering, and enlightenment—which of these doesn't require a significant investment of time and energy?

Moreover, even if he cultivates desperately for decades, is it possible for him to break through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm? It would probably be very difficult!

Rather than doing that, it's better to lie down peacefully and wait for Ye Fan to return from the Big Dipper Star Region.

Twenty-odd years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With Emperor Ye protecting them, they'll have as many cultivation techniques, pills, and magical artifacts as they want.

"Well, it's decided then!"

Ye Chen closed his eyes, a satisfied smile on his lips, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

......

The next day.

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden dapples on the floor.

Ye Chen turned over, pulled the blanket over his head, and continued to sleep.

"Little Chen! Little Chen!"

From downstairs came Liu Yun's mother's voice, strong and penetrating, "What time is it? We have guests!"

Ye Chen gave a muffled reply, turned over, and put the pillow under his head.

"Ye Chen!"

Liu Yun's voice rose another octave, "If you don't get up, I'm going to have your dad take the feather duster upstairs!"

"Here it comes!"

Ye Chen jumped out of bed with a start, groggily put on a T-shirt and shorts, and ran downstairs in his slippers.

In the living room, Liu Yun was sitting on the sofa chatting with a young woman.

The woman was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with long hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a light blue dress, had fair skin, and delicate features.

What's most striking is her smile.

Her lips were always slightly upturned, her eyes curved into two crescent moons, and she exuded an indescribable cheerfulness and brightness, like the first forsythia blooming in spring.

"Oh dear, Xiao Chen is downstairs?"

When the woman saw Ye Chen, she smiled and waved to him, "Long time no see."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then recognized the person who came.

Xu Qiong.

After his brother Ye Fan graduated from university, his relationship with Li Xiaoman came to an end.

More than a year later, he met Xu Qiong.

The two had known each other for two years, their relationship gradually developing from indifference to familiarity. Perhaps there were feelings between them, but neither of them made them public.

Later, Ye Fan was taken to the Big Dipper Star Region by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and Xu Qiong often came to visit the two elders at home and helped with whatever she could.

In the original storyline, Xu Qiong waited for Ye Fan for several years but never received any news.

Later, under pressure from her family, she chose to get married, but the marriage was not happy and she eventually divorced, raising her daughter alone.

She named her daughter Xu Ye.

Ye is pronounced the same as Ye.

That was the deepest longing she held in her heart, a mark that time could not erase.

Years later, when Ye Fan returned to Earth from the Big Dipper Star Region, Xu Qiong had already begun her second marriage.

The two met by chance on a street corner, smiled at each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then turned away to go their separate ways.

Those unspoken words eventually drifted away with time and were carried away by the wind.
