Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

Nine stars aligned, stretching across the high sky.

The ancient star of the Big Dipper, in the southern region of the eastern wilderness. Several Saint Lord-level figures joined forces to set up a celestial observation array, reflecting the scene of the high heavens.

When the array patterns lit up and the terrifying scene in the starry sky appeared on the light screen, all the powerful figures gasped in shock.

"What...what divine might is this?" An elder from an ancient family trembled in his voice, nearly dropping the compass in his hand.

Within the light screen, nine enormous stars, never before seen, were aligned in a line, resembling nine divine suns in the sky. The fluctuations they emitted caused even the Holy Lord to tremble; they were utterly terrifying.

What's even more astonishing is that within that vast sea of ​​lightning, a figure is battling against several humanoid lightning bolts, each collision causing the starry sky to tremble.

"Could it be that a senior is undergoing tribulation?"

The Holy Lord of Yao Guang's expression turned solemn. "Such power far surpasses the Saint Tribulation!"

"Look, those humanoid lightning bolts... they seem to have the aura of ancient emperors!" a living fossil suddenly exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the humanoid lightning bolts were indeed radiating an extreme imperial aura.

"That person is fighting against the Dao Mark of the Young Emperor." Someone guessed in a trembling voice, and this idea shocked everyone.

In the vast starry sky, white bone fragments, bright red blood, and shattered pieces of flesh are scattered in the void, shimmering with dazzling celestial radiance, transforming into various Daoist images.

They constantly disintegrate and regenerate, evolving into the sun, moon, stars, and rivers; every drop of blood becomes a spectacle.

The powerful figures of the Big Dipper who witnessed this scene through the Sky-Gazing Array were all horrified.

What kind of realm is this? To be able to transform one's physical body into a galaxy?

"Evolving the heavens...this is about to create an unprecedented path!" An old sage who had been in seclusion for a thousand years awoke with a start and murmured to himself.

Faintly, ancient scriptures seemed to drift from the void, and someone was silently reciting prayers, blessing this life and the next.

The sound came through the magic array, causing everyone who heard it to tremble.

"Quickly stabilize the magic array!" Yao Guang Holy Lord shouted, and everyone hurriedly added their magic power, afraid of missing this once-in-a-millennium sight.

Li Chenzhou's true self has completely disintegrated, and his blood and bones have transformed into a magnificent galaxy, shining brightly alongside the stars in the heavens.

The void was filled with countless points of light, all of which were the remains of his hair, bones, and internal organs after they were obliterated.

When nine young emperors attack simultaneously, no one has ever been able to stop them since ancient times.

They are the protagonists of their respective eras, and even if someone can attain the Dao and become an emperor, they will only become one of them.

"Nine emperors appearing simultaneously...this is a certain death situation!" the Holy Lord of the Ji family murmured, his eyes filled with shock.

Li Chenzhou's true self and primordial spirit shattered into the void together, and his embryonic bones transformed into stars.

The nine emperors did not make a move because they were drawn to another target and attacked.

The departed me was a hazy figure, sitting cross-legged upstream in the long river of time.

The Milky Way flowed around him, and Daoist phenomena abounded, yet he was shrouded in the endless silvery light of time, as if separated by countless ages, forever untouchable.

The nine young emperors attacked simultaneously, their imperial might overwhelming.

The terrifying attack slammed into the blurry figure, but the attack was like something from eternity ago, stirring up ripples in the river of time, yet it could not truly harm me in the slightest.

"Snap!"

Within the humanoid lightning, an emperor unleashed a supreme secret technique, his hands sweeping across the space-time reversal, sending power directly into the past, striking his departed self.

I recited ancient scriptures, my voice resounding through the ages, for the sake of this life.

He seemed to be sitting cross-legged in ancient times, traversing the river of time to duel with the young emperor from afar.

The two attacked in succession, their Dao principles clashing in a bizarre battle that transcended time and space. It was illusory and unpredictable, not a meeting of their true forms, but rather a crushing crushing of the laws of the Great Dao.

I successfully blocked the emperor for Li Chenzhou, buying him precious time.

Those fragments of bone and flesh transformed into the sun, moon, and stars, which evolved rapidly, with countless cultural patterns covering every newly born ancient star.

"boom!"

The other young emperors each displayed their unique abilities, evolving the ultimate Dao, shattering illusions, and launching a concerted attack on the departed me, aiming to completely obliterate him.

"I am gone..."

Amidst the shattered fetal bones, Li Chenzhou let out a sigh.

He transformed into billions of stars, shining brightly alongside the myriad stars in the heavens, frantically absorbing starlight to reforge his true self and Dao body.

In the distant future, "Dao Wo Li Chenzhou" will realize his true nature and stand in the future, comprehending the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

The interaction between heaven and man, the flow of Daoist principles.

The nine young emperors turned their attention to the future, intending to annihilate Dao I.

After the first attack missed, someone devised a strange method that could kill the target from a distance, even if the target was in the future.

I was cut down and turned into nothingness.

Only countless ancient stars, a dazzling galaxy, and a vast star field remain in the sky.

Li Chenzhou's true form is undergoing ultimate evolution, where all laws are fused into one.

He is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, transforming himself into his own Dao, nurturing all the classics within himself, embracing all the Daos into one, using himself as the dragon's backbone, penetrating the profound mysteries of all the Daos, and completely breaking free from them.

Spirit, belief, and the Great Way—a complete transformation, breaking free from all constraints, giving birth to a supreme Great Way that belongs only to oneself.

He used heaven and earth as a furnace and all the myriad paths as divine fire to temper himself, making the furnace glow red-hot, refining his true self, and forging his Dao body.

Flesh and blood transformed into ancient stars, and the bones of the Dao became a galaxy.

This strange change was beyond Li Chenzhou's complete control; it seemed both real and illusory.

Upon closer inspection, it is still flesh and bones, but a fleeting glance reveals countless ancient stars of life, the primordial energy that gave rise to all things.

"The Tao is elusive and indistinct, yet within it lies substance, within it lies essence..."

The faint chanting of sutras rose again, and my past self reappeared, sitting cross-legged in ancient times, vaguely chanting sutras for this life.

The past is my birthplace. As long as the true self remains, with each arising thought, there will be endless cycles of the past, which cannot be eradicated or eliminated.

The nine young emperors were merely traces of Heavenly Tribulation, not true beings. They only knew destruction and lacked the ability to think, so they launched another attack.

They overlooked their true self, because at that moment it had already shattered, turning into countless stars like the sands of the Ganges, no longer a living being.

The same applies to Dao I. As long as Li Chenzhou's true consciousness remains, there will be an infinite future, and he can arise again in an instant, transforming into Dao I.

As time passed, his true consciousness wavered between the departed self and the Dao self, prompting the nine young emperors to continuously attack, consuming precious time.

This is an unprecedented miracle. Since ancient times, only he has been able to withstand the attacks of nine young emperors for so long using this method.

Of the nine great stars that stretched across the void, some had already dimmed; the time had been far too long.

Although several more young emperors were replaced, the overall duration of the tribulation was still long enough, and the strange phenomena were about to disappear.

At this very moment, Li Chenzhou's transformation reached its most crucial stage.

The nine emperors did not attack its crumbling core because it truly "no longer exists".

In a sense, his true self is dead, leaving only an indestructible and powerful will that wavers between the departed self and the true self.

"boom!"

Li Chenzhou nurtured a hundred paths within one furnace, and contained ten thousand paths within one body.

Flesh and bone eventually reassembled, transforming into the dragon bone that connects all paths. He completely broke free and evolved his own supreme Dao.

Although it is still in its rudimentary form and not yet perfect, it has already resolved the hidden dangers of the five major secret realms being difficult to connect. Now, the whole body is as one, and all paths are integrated.

The chanting grew ever louder, as if it came from all of eternity.

I, the departed, come riding the waves of the past, while I, the Dao, arrive from the void of the future. The two are like yin and yang, intertwining and swirling in the starry sky, revealing the most fundamental mysteries of heaven and earth.

The Book of Changes says: "The alternation of yin and yang is called the Way."

Yin and Yang give birth to all things and are the foundation of the universe's evolution.

At this moment, remember this name: . Remember this domain name: . Good books never lead you astray. The past self and the Tao self merge and unite, transforming into Yin and Yang energies that flow endlessly within, as if recreating the creation of heaven and earth.

When they come together, they become the origin of the "Tao"!

At the same time, Li Chenzhou was reborn from the ashes. Countless ancient stars twinkled, thousands of galaxies intertwined, and the vast star field was reorganized, ultimately transforming into Li Chenzhou's Dao Body.

The departed self merges with the Dao self, resulting in a profound transformation.

With his true self reborn, Li Chenzhou reappears in the world in a brand new form!

Yin and Yang combine to create all things.

"All paths lead to one, and this is my path!"

Li Chenzhou let out a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the sound waves piercing through layers of void.

He longed to truly clash with the young emperor, desiring to use his body, which had absorbed all the Dao, to challenge the former strongest to a duel.

However, at this moment, the nine great stars had dimmed, and all the humanoid lightning bolts began to dissipate.

Time has passed for far too long, and this unprecedented calamity is about to come to an end.

The Tao encompasses heaven and earth, carries all things, and contains the essence of the universe.

Li Chenzhou radiated light, his body seemingly composed of endless ancient stars and vast star fields.

After experiencing dozens of shattering and rebirths, he finally underwent a complete transformation, fully connecting the five secret realms and using the Milky Way as his framework, truly forging his own path.

The past self merges with the Tao, all paths unite, and the true self is born.

Although the Great Dao is not yet perfected, it has already laid an unparalleled foundation.

Amidst the dazzling starlight, Li Chenzhou's body resembled the coalescing of countless stars. He had begun to achieve his own Dao, his entire being unified, every drop of blood containing a star field, every strand of hair entwined with the laws of the Great Dao.

"All paths converge and are forged into one furnace, with heaven and earth as the cauldron, and the body embracing the Dao. This is the foundation of my Dao, and also my starting point."

Li Chenzhou unleashed a punch that incorporated the essence of countless techniques.

Unfortunately, the nine great stars have vanished, and the emperor's shadow has dissipated.

This punch pierced through the void, but could only brush past the vanished traces of the Dao.

The aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation still linger, and the sea of ​​thunder has not yet subsided, but the most dangerous moment has passed.

Li Chenzhou drew countless bolts of lightning into his body, refining all the tribulations of lightning.

The gate to immortality hangs high above his head, blending with his Daoist aura.

He ascended step by step to the heavens, his voice resounding throughout the universe: "The Dao is achieved!"

Using lightning as a catalyst, the myriad inscriptions fused with itself were engraved on the gate.

The Gate of Immortality resounded with a clang, perfectly merging with his Dao Foundation, the two becoming indistinguishable.

Li Chenzhou stepped into the deepest part of the Thunder Sea, and the scene before him changed abruptly.

This was no ordinary calamity, but an ancient celestial palace formed from lightning.

The magnificent palaces and towering peaks, with carved railings and jade steps adorned with depictions of flowers, birds, fish, and insects, showcasing the sacrificial rites of our ancestors.

The main palace pierces the clouds, its towering structure like a mountain, its imposing presence seemingly capable of crushing eternity.

The entire building is formed from electric light, yet it is as stable as a rock.

All around, lightning surged and snakes of electricity danced wildly, yet this place was eerily quiet.

Li Chenzhou's pores seemed to crackle with electricity as he stepped out of the ruins, his eyes gleaming coldly.

He continued on his way, and every time he approached a palace, a spectacular lightning bolt would explode.

The ancient building complex seems to possess a spirit, rejecting all outsiders.

Suddenly, auspicious colors descended from the sky, sweet springs gushed from the earth, myriad clouds bloomed, and countless crystal flowers fell—all formed from lightning.

Another strange phenomenon of severing the Dao!

Li Chenzhou remained unmoved; these were all illusions, and the real danger lay hidden beneath the beautiful facade.

He broke through the nine heavenly palaces, and wherever he went, the palaces and buildings were destroyed, and the lightning grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, he soared into the sky, leaving the ruins and heading straight into the deeper part of the sea of ​​thunder.

"Thump!"

The dragons roared, and countless lightning dragons crashed down, engulfing him.

This is the ninth type of Dao-severing phenomenon, yet it can no longer harm him in the slightest.

After battling nine young emperors in succession, these strange phenomena were nothing special.

He reached the very end of the heavenly tribulation.

This place is filled with chaotic energy, and every bolt of lightning is imbued with the aura of creation, capable of harming even saints.

Li Chenzhou's eyes narrowed, and he made a shocking move.

He summoned the Gate of Immortality and hurled it directly into the chaotic lightning!

"Clang!"

He used his heart as a knife to carve his own path into the doorway.

Once, twice, a thousand times, ten thousand times!

The chaotic lightning struck wildly, and if it were not forged from the source of the primordial energy of all things, it would have long since turned into ashes.

Even if Li Chenzhou himself stepped in, he would be torn to pieces.

But he ignored all that and focused solely on forging the weapon.

Thousands upon thousands of Dao patterns flickered in the lightning, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, as if they were fighting against the laws of heaven and earth.

Ultimately, when he had almost exhausted all his energy, he had not even grasped the basics of what he had learned.

The gate is becoming increasingly ancient, exuding an aura of unity among all things.

Li Chenzhou stopped and stood up.

The path to enlightenment doesn't require instant ascent; one only needs to walk alongside him and tread the Great Way together.

Within the chaotic sea of ​​thunder, the Gate of Immortality floated and sank, as if breathing.

Each roar was like knocking on the door of the Great Dao.

Li Chenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, watching his Dao-proving artifact transform in the sea of ​​lightning.

His gaze was like a celestial sword, its divine light piercing through the chaotic sea of ​​electricity.

His expression changed abruptly as he stared into the depths of the sea of ​​lightning: "What is that?"

The chaotic energy permeated the air, making it difficult to penetrate.

Only a faint trace of energy could be sensed, threatening to crush all the ancient heavens, making one want to bow down in worship.

Thousands of chaotic lightning bolts fell like a galaxy, each one powerful enough to shatter stars. Li Chenzhou did not risk advancing, choosing instead to observe the situation.

Just then, the world suddenly fell silent.

The thunder subsided, the sea of ​​electricity died down, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

The vast universe returned to its cold, lifeless state, with only him standing alone in the starry sky.

"It's a success," Li Chenzhou muttered to himself, his tone calm.

He fought nine young emperors in succession, narrowly escaping death nine times, but finally survived.

Having successfully severed his Dao, he felt no turmoil in his heart, only the tranquility of the Great Dao.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

Where the chaotic sea of ​​lightning dissipated, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

Dressed in pristine white, dressed as a scholar, he stood with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.

That person seemed ordinary, yet it was as if he stood at the end of the road, transcending time and space.

"What a feat it is to sever the Dao with one's own body and integrate all laws, yet even that is as difficult as ascending to heaven." The scholar in white clapped his hands and chuckled. "Meeting is fate, so I will lend you a hand."

Li Chenzhou was deeply shaken.

The other party was right in front of him, yet it felt as if they were separated by layers of universes, making it impossible for him to see through them.

The scholar in white pointed.

The world seemed to stand still, and time itself seemed to have stopped flowing.

The Demonic Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture in the sea of ​​consciousness dissipated, transforming into a point of immortal light. The Divine Mark Purple Gold instantly transformed into a long purple river, while the Reincarnation Watch transformed into billions of rotating runes. The three intertwined and surged into the Gate of Eternal Life.

The entire Gate of Immortality roared, and within it seemed as if countless worlds were being created and destroyed.

Li Chenzhou was deeply shocked as he sensed the changes at the Gate of Immortality.

This instrument of enlightenment now truly possessed the aura of a transcendent being, resonating with his mind and becoming an extension of his Great Dao.

The figure gradually faded away.

"This road is difficult, but I hope that one day we can meet again at a higher level."

Time seemed to resume its flow.

Li Chenzhou bowed solemnly.
