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

"Each punch can break through a thousand pounds, yet its power never ceases." Ye Fan slowly closed the manual of the Tiger Form Divine Art, his heart filled with a leisurely longing for the martial arts realm described in the book.

This manual was written by Li Chenzhou four years ago and left to the two of them. For him, who is now focused on studying martial arts, it is like a mysterious palace shrouded in mist, difficult to discern, yet inspiring endless reverie.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing several sycamore trees in the courtyard to sway softly, their lush branches rustling. Fresh air wafted in from the window.

Since he began learning martial arts, Ye Fan has been obsessed with all kinds of "martial arts tales" books, because Li Chenzhou's martial arts skills were all developed through collecting such tales.

He brewed a cup of light green tea, then immersed himself in the secret manual in his hands.

"A martial artist can shake mountains and rivers with his fists, yet his internal energy shows no signs of depletion. I truly wonder what level Chen Zhou has reached now."

"He disappeared for four years, not replying to messages or answering phone calls, and only now has news of him surfaced about this gathering."

Ye Fan felt a little resentful, but more than that, he was excited to see his old friend again.

Ye Fan gently set aside the Tiger-Shaped Divine Communication Technique in his hand, straightened his clothes, and prepared to head to an extremely important classmate reunion.

Given his current personality, class reunions no longer appeal to him, nor does he have any interest in wallowing in melancholy. His good friend Pang Bo lives in the same city, and the two often meet to exchange martial arts techniques, so he is not lonely.

The two of them, with their extraordinary martial arts skills, were considered big shots even in this city.

The real reason I went to the party was that Li Chenzhou had also mentioned in the classmate group that he would be attending.

……

Three years have passed since I stepped out of the university campus.

Three years have passed quietly. The classmates who once accompanied each other on campus are now like dandelion seeds, scattered by the breeze of fate, each taking root and sprouting in different places.

Some people are busy and rushing around, chasing the peak of their careers, while others are leisurely and content amidst the rising smoke from their chimneys.

"Ring ring..."

His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone. It was Lin Jia, a classmate who was very shrewd and beautiful. After graduation, she went to a neighboring city and was said to be doing very well in her career.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, I heard Lin Jia teasing me. She had shown excellent interpersonal skills in college and could easily get close to people.

"What's wrong? Missing me?"

Ye Fan spoke lightly, without the slightest embarrassment, revealing a touch of nonchalance.

A lighthearted laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I don't know where the party is, but we'll go together later."

He paused slightly, then continued, "By the way, Li Chenzhou mentioned in the group chat that he would be attending the gathering. I really don't know where he's been these past few years? Have you contacted him?"

Even over the phone, Ye Fan could hear the anxiety and anticipation in the voice on the other end. Back in college, this shrewd woman had pursued Li Chenzhou, but he had ignored her.

Lin Jia is an absolute beauty, her looks captivating.

Her shrewdness and wisdom surpass even her appearance. She has an extremely clear understanding of her own needs, as if she possesses a precise life compass, with every step she takes clearly planned; she can be described as very realistic.

As the sun sets, it casts its last rays, draping the entire city in a hazy, pale golden veil. The towering buildings gleam in the setting sun, and the roads are bustling with traffic and pedestrians.

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye. A Toyota quietly pulled up to the side of the road, the window rolled down, revealing Lin Jia's stunning and delicate face. There was another person in the car, Liu Yunzhi.

Lin Jia gently pushed open the car door and walked in gracefully.

Ye Fan slowly stepped forward and joked:

"Great, they even provide a private car for you."

Lin Jia rolled her eyes and replied, "Are you blind? That's Liu Yunzhi, our classmate."

Three years have passed since graduation. Although we have kept in touch from time to time, we have only met once, two years ago.

Lin Jia still looks as youthful and beautiful as ever. Her style of dress is very casual and comfortable. She wears a pair of tight jeans with a purple T-shirt, which makes her already slender and graceful figure even more curvaceous, making her look even more charming.

"It's been two years, how are you?" Lin Jia's long, black hair was smooth and shiny.

She had almond-shaped eyes, with long eyelashes that partially concealed them, and the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, giving her a natural, captivating look.

It exudes a unique charm, alluring and captivating.

"Not bad," Ye Fan said with a smile. "I haven't been able to contact Chen Zhou for the past few years, so if you're looking for information about him, you've come to the wrong person!"

At that moment, the driver's side window of the Toyota sedan rolled down, and Liu Yunzhi said casually, "Long time no see!"

"You came by taxi? Want to get in and come along?"

The other party didn't even get out of the car, so Ye Fan didn't bother arguing with him and just gave a casual reply.

How can ordinary, worldly people compare to us!

Having spent more time with Li Chenzhou, Ye Fan was naturally influenced by him, developing a detached and carefree attitude.

"Oh!"

With a brisk stride, Ye Fan strode away.

In the realm of cultivation, he transcended the mortal world and was already close to Li Chenzhou four years ago, possessing strength exceeding a thousand pounds and free from all diseases.

How could he be compared to Liu Yunzhi?

On the secular stage, he was just as adept, possessing extraordinary abilities. In the business world, he was able to maneuver with ease, accumulating wealth continuously. He could even be considered the underground emperor of this city.

This Bright Moon City on the Sea is one of his properties.

For him, worldly glory was merely a fleeting glimpse on the path of spiritual cultivation, essential for his practice, and the deepest desires of his heart.

The ultimate pursuit is the endless sublimation of tranquility and spiritual practice!

He was increasingly able to understand Li Chenzhou's loneliness and solitude!

As soon as Ye Fan arrived in front of the Bright Moon City on the Sea, he saw several familiar figures, all of whom were old classmates who had come to reunite.

"Ye Fan!"

A shout broke the surrounding noise, and a refined young man instantly came into view. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "You, as the host, have been somewhat negligent. As the city lord, you have arrived so late. This gathering should have been organized by you."

He's only half right; he can only be considered the underground lord of this city, not the city lord.

This young man is Wang Ziwen, one of the organizers of the gathering. She was very active in college and could be called a social star on campus.

I heard that he went to another city and made a fortune in the three years there, with his career going smoothly and his assets becoming quite substantial.

The other classmates also gathered around. Years had passed and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but their friendship was rekindled at this moment. They greeted each other warmly and there was no sense of estrangement between them.

As soon as the group arrived, the atmosphere became noisy.

The students, some shouting with surprise, others walking with joyful steps, flocked towards them.

A strange yet slightly melancholic feeling welled up in my heart. The tracks of time and space quietly intersected, and those youthful and passionate memories of my university days, like mottled light and shadow, overlapped with the scene before me, making me feel mesmerized.

Time flies, and three years have passed since graduation.

Now, we're all standing at a crossroads in our lives, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Some of you have even settled into marriage and embarked on a brand new journey in life.

Everyone carries their own unique life script, and each person performs their own part on the stage of time.

But to be fair, most students have gradually settled into the ordinary life of everyday people. Their former ambitions seem to have been ruthlessly eroded by the sands of time, and in the mundane routine of daily life, their sharpness has gradually faded, leaving only the tranquil traces of peaceful years and a stable world.
