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

"We've traveled a long way, hundreds of millions of miles, for cultivation and immortality. Here I come."

Some students made bold statements, saying that they might spend a long time, even the rest of their lives, on this land, where everything else on Earth would be gone. This filled them with both tension and anticipation for their future lives.

Some male students secretly fantasized that on Earth, they were bound by rules and their path to advancement was blocked, but in this world of cultivation, they might be able to become immortals and ancestors.

Some students dream of cultivating immortality, becoming saints, and returning to Earth to stage a drama of an urban immortal emperor returning, showing off and slapping faces, with countless beauties offering themselves to him.

Some female students also fantasized about raising small animals in this paradise on earth, which would be very interesting. More importantly, those who cultivate immortality should be able to stay young forever.

Of course, some students also looked sad. The bronze coffin had fallen into this world. They had embarked on the path to immortality. What would happen to their parents, wives and children on Earth? Would they ever have the chance to see them again in this life?

Li Chenzhou looked around and saw that he and his companions were in a mountain range, surrounded by nine interconnected mountains that formed a bottomless valley.

The nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin, along with the other coffins, quickly plunged into the deep valley without a sound, as if the valley had no end.

"Sinking Boat, I feel something's wrong with this place."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo stood beside Li Chenzhou. Ye Fan spoke first. He was a meticulous person and found the environment too quiet, so quiet that there was not a single insect chirping or bird singing. This was very abnormal. Although he had Li Chenzhou to teach him cultivation, his senses were not as clear as Li Chenzhou's. He knew that this was definitely not a good place.

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise," Li Chenzhou said with a smile. In this area, probably no one was safer than Ye Fan.

Ye Fan is comparable to a forbidden zone player.

"Look there, there's half a stone tablet." A sharp-eyed student suddenly pointed in a direction.

As the group approached, they parted the surrounding weeds and found a half-section of a stone tablet lying in a crater on the mountaintop. Three ancient characters were carved on it, weathered and ancient, exuding the weight of time.

The crowd looked at each other, puzzled as to what the inscription on the stele meant.

"Ancient Forbidden..." Ye Fan approached and slowly uttered the words, though he was somewhat uncertain.

Banned? Banned what?

"Banned?" doesn't quite make sense.

Forbidden!

Everyone felt a chill.

"Everyone be careful, it's too quiet here, something's not right. Normally, this place should be full of ancient trees and flowers, and there should be many animals living here, but there isn't even a single insect. This doesn't make sense." Someone noticed something was wrong and warned them.

Looking around, towering trees reached the clouds, stretching endlessly, and countless unnamed flowers bloomed beautifully, emitting a sweet fragrance. It was a scene full of vitality, but as far as the eye could see, there were no birds or beasts, not a single insect chirping, and not even a single ant on the ground.

This is completely against the laws of nature.

Panic gripped the crowd once again.

"Everyone should be careful, but there's no need to be overly nervous. Since we're already here, we can only face it head-on. Let's see if there's any food nearby."

Li Chenzhou made the suggestion.

"Yes, Li Chenzhou is right. Besides, we've already made it to Mars, how could we possibly perish here?" A classmate breathed a sigh of relief. Since Li Chenzhou said so, even if this place is a bit strange, it shouldn't be as terrifying as they imagined.

"Haha, Chenzhou said what I was thinking. I've been starving for ages." Pang Bo readily agreed with Li Chenzhou's suggestion to find food first.

The group formed small teams to search for food and a way out.

Li Chenzhou naturally formed a team with Ye Fan and Pang Bo. He felt that if he couldn't find the divine fruit on his own, even if he could, he would only be slapped to death.

The three of them set off together, and soon a spring appeared before them.

The spring pool is very small, only one meter square. Thick old vines, as thick as water buckets, surround the pool and completely cover it. It is difficult to find this place without careful searching.

More than a dozen unnamed saplings, each half a meter tall, took root beside the spring, their trunks gnarled and their leaves broad.

Each sapling has a bright red fruit on its tip, emitting an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance.

The three exchanged glances, and finally Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at Li Chenzhou.

"Eat it, it's very good for us."

The three of them picked all the fruit, a total of thirteen. They decided that each of them would take four, and Ye Fan suggested that the last one be given to Liu Yiyi. Li Chenzhou and Pang Bo had no objection to this.

Looking at the fruit in his hand, Li Chenzhou felt joy.

He planned to take three pills, and keep the other one for emergencies.

A portion of the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality, extremely rare throughout the ages, was obtained just like that. It must be said that the opportunities left behind by that empress are all so precious that they are unique in the world.

After eating the three fruits, he immediately felt an incredibly rich aroma enter his body from his mouth, filling him with immense power.

He achieved embryonic breathing, and as long as there is sufficient essence of heaven and earth, he can soar into the sky.

And that is indeed the case. Since returning to Earth, his life force has been slowly increasing.

Upon arriving at Beidou, he became like a sponge, with a continuous flow of life essence flowing into his body.

Now that he has eaten the divine fruit, the life essence, as vast as the sea, burst forth instantly, surging wildly into his limbs and bones, washing over every inch of his flesh, every meridian, and every bone.

His vitality is growing to its fullest extent.

"Boom!"

It was as if thunder was rumbling within Li Chenzhou's body, waves were crashing against the sky, and his vast life energy was almost overflowing.

The surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) formed a visible vortex, frantically converging towards him. His internal organs were repeatedly cleansed and refined, becoming increasingly crystalline and resilient. Faint golden Dao patterns even began to appear on his bones, a sign that his foundation had reached its extreme and he was beginning to touch upon the realm of physical supernatural powers.

Li Chenzhou closed his eyes and looked inward, feeling the explosive growth of his own power, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

One part of this Nine Miraculous Elixir of Immortality is truly incredibly potent.

However, he also keenly sensed that most of the medicinal power of the divine fruit had not been fully absorbed, but had settled deep within his flesh and blood, remaining dormant.

The true wonders of the miraculous medicine will gradually become apparent on his future path of cultivation.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes shone brightly, as if lightning flashed within them, and his entire demeanor became even more profound and powerful.

He gently clenched his fist and felt an unprecedented sense of power, as if a single punch could shake a mountain.

"The elixir of immortality truly lives up to its name..."

"A meteoric rise to the heavens, this is a meteoric rise to the heavens." Li Chenzhou felt the explosive power within his body and marveled inwardly. His power had increased a thousandfold, but he didn't know what level of secret realm it was equivalent to.

"My current martial arts are achieved by combining the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture with the Dragon and Snake National Arts. Having entered the Embryo Breathing Realm, I have transformed all my accumulated strength into power, which is basically the limit I can reach at present. I need more and more systematic scriptures."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo then started practicing their punches on the spot. Their skills came from Li Chenzhou and were based on the Tiger Form Divine Art. At this moment, when they swung their fists, they seemed to have some of the power of the ferocious white tiger.

boom!

With a simple punch, a boulder shattered three zhang away; this was no ordinary human power.

"Ye Zi, if we were still on Earth, we would be like human tanks!" Pang Bo exclaimed in amazement. They had seen Li Chenzhou make a move before, shattering large rocks with his palms and scaling walls, but that was still within the realm of humans.

Later, during his trip to Mount Tai, Chenzhou used his spirit to control birds and sparrows, and spoke of reaching the realm of the Bodhisattva who dwells in the world, which amazed everyone who heard it.

Now they have also cultivated the ability to project internal energy outwards, and with a casual wave of their hand, it is comparable to a hand grenade.

Absolutely mind-blowing.
