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

The ruthless man's gaze pierced through the sea of ​​lightning and settled on Li Chenzhou, as memories of the past rushed back to him.

"Throughout history, there has never been another person whose talent is as astounding as yours."

Her voice was calm, and even someone as composed as her had to admit it.

Whether it was his rebellious journey to reach the pinnacle or his sweeping victory over all immortals after becoming emperor, he inspired awe in countless beings.

She knew, of course, that Li Chenzhou must have some kind of good fortune, but in this vast world, who is truly empty-handed?

In her first life, she forged the essence of all spirits, transforming her mortal body into a chaotic form. Was there no trace of opportunity in that process?

The underworld has spent hundreds of thousands of years trying to forge a chaotic body, but has never been able to achieve perfection.

She, a mere mortal, walked alone through blood and fire, and actually took that step before attaining enlightenment.

Behind this, it's not just a matter of "talent" that can be fully explained.

Opportunity can never overshadow the brilliance of a prodigy.

The sea of ​​thunder gradually subsided, and all paths fell silent, as if even the heavens realized that this calamity could not shake that figure.

Deep within the tribulation clouds, the laws intertwined, reflecting the phantom of the elixir of immortality.

They took the Great Dao as their bones and the rules as their flesh, transforming into human form and exuding an aura of immortality.

Li Chenzhou stood tall above the gate, took a step forward, and pressed down with his palm.

The medicinal shadow dissipated, and all the essence of the laws was swallowed.

Ultimately, this calamity could not bring the elixir of immortality to the world with its true power at the level of a Celestial King.

The calamity clouds churned and evolved endlessly.

Ancient divine beasts pounced and killed, primordial gods wielded axes to split the heavens and earth, ancient deities chanted incantations to seal time and space... all sorts of terrifying phenomena appeared one after another, but were all destroyed by Li Chenzhou.

Finally, a chilling roar came from the depths of the clouds, and a guillotine appeared.

The blade was stained with blood and rust, as if it had slain countless immortals and demons, and its edge gleamed with a cold light.

The immortal guillotine!

Unfortunately, it couldn't kill Li Chenzhou.

The guillotine fell and disappeared into the doorway.

The chaotic energy surged, refining this calamity weapon and extracting a wisp of the Great Dao essence to nourish itself.

This great calamity lasted for nine days.

The scene was so terrifying that it could shatter the heart of a true immortal, and even a celestial king would have to look solemn upon witnessing it.

Lightning flashed and died, chaos was torn apart and then mended, countless worlds appeared in the lightning and then returned to nothingness, even the chaotic sea seemed to be thinned out by the evaporation.

Countless particles roared around Li Chenzhou, evolving the laws of the heavens, constructing layers of natural barriers, and evolving the universe within his body.

There is an order between superiors and inferiors, and yin and yang are distinct.

The portals within the body opened wide, as if the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar had pierced through the void.

Furthermore, three thousand great Daos manifested, like dragons and snakes rising from the land, raising their heads and roaring, shaking the nine heavens.

Ultimately, at the very source of all great paths, the brilliance reached its peak, with endless rain of light falling, leaving no trace of illusion or etherealness, solidifying into the sole, authentic origin.

Like the source of all laws, hanging high above the heavens, it governs and suppresses all the cycles of birth and death within Li Chenzhou's body.

His Primordial Jade Book, tempered by the fires of tribulation, was more stable than ever before, its gates trembling and bursting forth with boundless immortal radiance.

Li Chenzhou finally overcomes an unprecedented tribulation to become an immortal.

Shedding his mortal form and condensing his immortal soul, he leaped to the pinnacle of immortality.

For twenty thousand years, he traversed and integrated countless profound foundations, carving out a path to immortality in this mortal world.

He was invincible just by standing there.

No one can imagine just how strong he is now; the phrase "sweeping across the world" is no longer sufficient to describe it.

"Finally, I've become an immortal."

Li Chenzhou opened his eyes, and it was as if the entire universe had exploded and reformed in his eyes. All the earth-shattering immortal light and Daoist charm around him instantly subsided, making him look ordinary and unremarkable.

Only he himself knows what is hidden inside this body.

He now possesses immortal bones and an inextinguishable primordial spirit, with magical power sufficient to shatter a sea of ​​stars in an instant, and it is almost inexhaustible.

He felt the terrifying power within him, took a deep breath, and felt as if the entire space-time was trembling.

After cultivating for 20,000 years, he achieved immortality in the mortal world.

"I have become an immortal."

Immortal!

Li Chenzhou had waited far too long for those two words.

Thinking back to the beginning of his transmigration, a mere mortal soul fell into this "Covering the Sky" world. At first, he felt a tremor, but he was soon swallowed up by a deeper sense of bewilderment and unease.

In this world of cultivators where stars are often destroyed, will he, a stranger in a foreign land, become nothing but bones in the next moment?

Even after awakening the wisdom of their past lives, this sense of crisis has not diminished in the slightest.

On the imperial road, geniuses abound like carp crossing a river; who among them is not destined for greatness?

He wasn't the kind of blindly confident time traveler; he understood the cruelty of the real world.

Fortunately, he possessed the Reincarnation Watch, and his own talent and comprehension were exceptional. He broke through barriers and became an emperor at an unbelievable speed.

His cultivation through various realms and the tempering of blood and fire washed away his early anxieties and worries.

Looking down at the universe now, his state of mind is different.

The imperial throne was not the end; rather, it allowed him to gaze upon something even higher—the realm of immortals, the state of eternal life.

Thus, an even greater ambition ignited within him: to defy the heavens and become an immortal in this mortal world.

The road is now open.

Although it deviated slightly from the initial plan when he became emperor, the result was undoubtedly better.

Feeling the almost infinite lifespan and immeasurable divine power within his body, a sense of fulfillment pervaded him.

From then on, time could not erode it, and countless calamities could not overturn it.

I am immortal.

Li Chenzhou took a step forward and returned to the Dao realm.

This place that belonged to him underwent a transformation at this moment due to the master's metamorphosis.

Endless celestial light bloomed, as if the entire world was burning and sublimating.

Deep within the Dao Realm, myriad laws extended, emitting a roar as if the heavens and earth were created.

In an instant, the Dao Realm became ethereal and unpredictable, as if it were about to be "stripped" away from the universe and transcend everything.

In the next instant, all the illusion vanished, replaced by a sense of reality.

As solid as eternal divine gold, as immortal as the eternal blue sky.

When Li Chenzhou became an immortal, the Daoist realm also underwent a nirvana.

This world can bear the true conquests of immortals.

His figure appeared at the highest point of the Dao realm.

It seems to have stood there since ancient times, lofty and eternal, looked up to by countless creatures in the universe.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

"The Heavenly Emperor ascended to immortality, forever immortal!"

Throughout the universe, a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, countless beings blushed, their eyes reflecting that supreme figure.

They witnessed a miracle, a miracle that truly defied fate and broke the ironclad laws of time.

Li Chenzhou lowered his gaze, sweeping over all living beings.

With a wave of his hand, his immense power swept across the heavens, drawing all living beings from the real universe and strange worlds into the realm of eternal life.

Wanling grew increasingly fanatical, his heart surging with emotion, unable to contain himself.

The Heavenly Emperor resonates with them!

"Having attained immortality, one should now bestow blessings upon all living beings."

Li Chenzhou's voice was calm, yet it was like the celestial sound of the Great Dao, echoing simultaneously in the real universe and the realm of immortality.

"Three days later, in the Realm of Immortality, the teachings of the Immortal Path will be expounded."

Deep within the Dao Realm, the emperors had long been waiting.

Upon Li Chenzhou's return, everyone congratulated him with smiles, and even the ruthless man seemed to have a faint smile on his face.

Wu Shi sighed, "The Heavenly Emperor has finally achieved immortality; this path has finally been opened."

As one of the emperors closest to that realm, he and the Ruthless Great Emperor spoke with both emotion and certainty.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao Xuan and the Three Emperors showed a look of reminiscence: "Back then, we were still lying low in the forbidden zone, waiting for the path to immortality to open... Who could have imagined that someone would be able to use their own great power to forge the path to immortality in the mortal world?"

His words were filled with a profound sense of vicissitude, and even a touch of awe.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body stood to one side, gazing upon the endless multitude of beings in the universe: "From now on, the backbone of humanity can support the heavens, and we have no more worries."

"Peerless Heavenly Emperor!"

"It's just that I've taken the first step." Li Chenzhou accepted the congratulations from the emperors with a calm expression, without any arrogance, and simply said, "With your abilities, the Immortal Sect is already in sight."

This is no exaggeration.

The Emperors are connected to the Eternal Realm in terms of destiny and are in harmony with the Great Dao. The laws of the Emperors complete the foundation of the Eternal Realm, and the Eternal Realm, in turn, nourishes the Supreme Creation.

With Li Chenzhou's attainment of immortality, the Eternal Realm has undergone a fundamental transformation, and the benefits to the emperors are immeasurable, saving them far more than tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

The barrier of true immortals seems like an insurmountable chasm at the end of the human path, but in the eyes of higher beings, it is not an impassable road.

The legendary Great Luo can travel back in time and create all things. In the eyes of the Immortal Emperors of this realm, there is no barrier to Immortal Kings. Such is the difference in realm.

When one person reaches the summit, all those around them can also see a wider world.

The saying goes, "When one attains enlightenment, the brilliance of his enlightenment naturally illuminates the path ahead."

Moreover, all the emperors are outstanding individuals among outstanding individuals, and the prospect of attaining the rank of Immortal King is also in the future. How could the realm of True Immortals truly hinder them?

The creation of the Eternal Realm brought benefits to all emperors. Wu Shi and Ye Fan both chose the path of immortality in the mortal world, striving to cross over amidst the vast mortal realm.

The hazy immortal mist surrounding the ruthless woman grew increasingly profound. She was currently in her seventh life, while the Azure Emperor's energy was perfectly balanced. He already knew the method for his next transformation and was just waiting for time to pass before he could begin a new round of Nirvana.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the realm of immortals, the scene was beyond description as "a sea of ​​people".

This is a wondrous realm that transcends the boundaries of reality and illusion; wherever the mind goes, the void arises spontaneously, vast and boundless.

At this moment, as far as the eye can see, there are figures converging from many star fields.

Whether they were from ancient families, reclusive masters, or young cultivators just embarking on their path, they all held their breath and gazed toward that supreme direction.

The immortal began his discourse, pointing directly to the Great Dao.

This is an unprecedented opportunity, one that has never been seen before in all of history!

Awe and excitement filled the air, and countless burning gazes seemed to ignite the void.

The mere "momentum" formed by that expectation and reverence caused this illusory realm to ripple slightly, creating a sea of ​​faith.

It is worth mentioning that during these three days, almost all the ancient clans and supreme sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths sent envoys with congratulatory gifts.

These congratulatory gifts outshone even the stars: dozens or even hundreds of top-grade medicinal herbs, rare immortal materials capable of forging imperial weapons, and ancient celestial scriptures. They offered these generous gifts to congratulate the Heavenly Emperor on attaining immortality.

Li Chenzhou appeared, dressed in white, his appearance simple yet imposing.

He politely declined all the gifts, saying that he appreciated their sentiments.

These rare treasures are of little use to the immortal path, but for these clans and sects, they are the foundation of their clans.

Although the envoys were disappointed, none of them dared to say anything more, let alone make any demands.

Faced with an immortal true immortal, worldly etiquette has long lost its weight.

Although the gift has not been accepted, the intention has been conveyed.

For many ancient religions, presenting congratulatory gifts is the very purpose.

To offer congratulations to the Immortal Venerable is in accordance with the principles of all heavens and the laws of the universe, and conforms to the rituals of countless ages.

Whether to accept or not is up to the deity; whether to congratulate or not is up to oneself.

They knew that this immortal, who had emerged from the mortal world, possessed a heart as vast as the stars and as expansive as eras, and was not bound by worldly conventions.

However, attitude itself is a "way" that must be revealed.

Before the Celestial Venerable, all worldly power and influence, accumulated over countless ages, are but dust.

What they wanted to present was not those sacred texts and ancient scriptures, but rather that reverence and faith—this was the gesture they wanted to make.

The path to immortality is vast and boundless; it is enough to leave a trace of "knowledge" in the hearts of the immortals.

Just as billions of living beings held their breath, the aura of the sphere suddenly descended from the depths of the void.

The emperors of the Dao Realm have appeared.

They did not set foot in the realm of ordinary beings, but rather created an independent space-time in a higher dimension.

The principles of Dao intertwined, transforming into numerous Great Dao cushions that floated naturally, exuding imperial aura and the aura of longevity.

This scene caused the creatures below to tremble violently, their eyes burning with fervor.

The Heavenly Emperor is supreme, like the radiant sun that reigns supreme for eternity, inspiring awe and reverence in all who behold him.

While the emperors also reigned high in the heavens, they seemed to be guiding the way forward. They proved that immortality was not an illusion and that the imperial realm was not a dead end.

Those figures sitting upright on the futons are living myths in themselves, role models that countless cultivators pursue throughout their lives, and even dare to dream that "perhaps I can reach that level."

There are clues to follow on the path to immortality.

In this scene, words cannot stir the heart.

The emperors of the Dao Realm sat upright on their prayer mats, enduring the intense gazes of countless people, yet remained composed.

Before long, the void began to ripple.

Li Chenzhou's figure appeared on the only futon at the highest point.

He did not deliberately arrive late, nor did he need to use the time to demonstrate his authority. At his level, all formalities were superfluous.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is immortal!"

All spirits cried out, and the roar erupted.

Li Chenzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand and gently pressed down.

There was no pressure, just a simple movement, and the sound was calmed down, quickly returning to silence.

He sat down calmly and looked down.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of ​​living beings.

The Big Dipper alone has hundreds of billions of living beings, let alone the entire universe.

That number represents truly immeasurable sentient beings.

Every pair of eyes burned with reverence, excitement, and unreserved admiration.

The endless stream of beliefs, though no longer helpful to his cultivation, still stirred a slight ripple in Li Chenzhou's Dao heart, bringing a touch of joy.

This scene, witnessing and bearing witness, is itself a beautiful sight on the journey of life.

"This time, I have attained immortality in the mortal world and gained some true understanding amidst the flames of tribulation."

Li Chenzhou's gaze swept over countless beings, his voice calm and composed, like the profound pronouncements of the Great Dao, imprinting itself on every mind and spirit.

"Today's Dharma conference is about immortality."

Spreading the Dharma is his business.

Whether sentient beings can take that step depends on individual karma and circumstances; it cannot be forced.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for bestowing upon me the Dao!"

The countless creatures below were filled with uncontrollable excitement, their blood surging, and waves of sound rose and fell.

Ultimately, it all boils down to a plea:

"Please, Heavenly Emperor, expound the Great Dao!"

Li Chenzhou's expression turned slightly solemn as he slowly spoke:

"Before preaching, let me make one statement."

The entire realm of immortality was silent, save for his voice, each word like a monument:

"The ways of Heaven are not to be feared, and the laws of our ancestors are not to be followed."

He paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, returning to the time when he first began his cultivation.

"The journey is long and arduous, with endless tribulations; the only thing one can rely on is oneself."
