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

Wei Gongyang presents "Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Eternal Life" with utmost sincerity, exclusively released for the first time!

Above Li Chenzhou's head, the Divine Furnace of Fire emanated a wisp of Quasi-Emperor's aura, extremely faint yet carrying an unparalleled status.

The divine furnace cast down rays of divine light, completely protecting his body.

Enveloped by the aura of a quasi-emperor, Li Chenzhou encountered no possible strangeness or misfortune along the way.

Whether they were beings that had developed intelligence or ferocious creatures that acted solely on instinct, all were instinctively terrified under the oppressive aura of a quasi-emperor, and hid in hiding, with none daring to show themselves or offend them.

After traveling several miles, many ancient stone carvings began to appear on the stone walls of the mine. These carvings, mottled and weathered, recorded the distant past of Zishan.

In the ancient times, the human race was weak and was regarded as food by the ancient races. Cultivators were slaughtered, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses piled up like mountains, a scene as tragic as hell on earth.

Until an invincible being appeared out of nowhere, sweeping across the eight wastelands and six directions, suppressing all ancient creatures with absolute invincibility, this land was able to regain peace.

Purple Mountain was originally the Daoist temple of the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Empress and her eight generals once hibernated here.

Later, Emperor Wushi suppressed the Undying Empress, and this place was occupied by Wushi. Although these stone carvings record some of the past events, they are not the whole picture.

He stood there for a long time, his heart surging with emotion, as if he saw a supreme human emperor who looked down on the past and present, ascending to the pinnacle of the Great Dao, his aura encompassing the six directions and eight wastelands, looking down on all ages and being the only one of the most supreme.

"At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glance at the beginningless Dao reveals its emptiness."

This is not an exaggeration, but a legend left behind after he swept away everything with absolute strength.

What darkness and turmoil, what supreme existence? Anyone who dares to cause trouble in this world will be suppressed and killed.

He was invincible and unstoppable; all the sources of chaos were forced into hiding, and in his time, no one dared to cause any great trouble.

When other emperors are mentioned, people may still recall the bloody battles they fought, the powerful enemies they encountered, and the life-threatening situations they faced.

Only the Great Emperor Wushi, no matter who his opponent was, was never someone who worried about him.

Looking back on his past and examining his experiences, one can only see that he swept everything away with overwhelming force, maintaining his dominance all the way to the end.

No matter who he encountered, Emperor Wushi swept them all away in one battle, without any suspense, and completely suppressed them.

In the end, the words "Wu Shi" became synonymous with invincibility, unparalleled in heaven and earth, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten lands.

During his lifetime, no one dared to challenge his prowess. Even the most powerful beings in the forbidden zones of life remained silent and dutiful, guarding their own forbidden zones and daring not to venture out.

This is Wushi, a human emperor who has reached the pinnacle of power.

The ancient mine was pitch black and deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Li Chenzhou composed himself and walked forward at a leisurely pace, stepping over a thick layer of ashes and treading on a path paved with withered bones.

Finally, he entered an area with exceptionally rich vital energy.

A terrifying killing intent rushed towards him, stirring his very soul.

This killing intent was incomparably fierce, purer and more ancient than his fist intent, like the sharpness of the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

Ahead, two bottomless black holes appeared.

One breath of spiritual energy soared into the sky, while the source energy surged forth like a tide. The other breath was filled with murderous aura, and endless sharp sword energy tore through the void, soaring straight into the clouds. The clanging of the sword seemed to be about to cleave down the stars.

Yin-yang eyes!

This Yin-Yang Eye was born of heaven and earth, containing unparalleled sharpness. The purest primordial energy and the most ferocious evil energy converge to evolve into endless sword energy.

As Li Chenzhou approached, he saw more than twenty skeletons scattered around the Yin Eye.

They all died from having their brows pierced by the peerless sword energy, which shattered their heart meridians.

"What a magnificent Yin-Yang Eye that can seize the essence of heaven and earth! Embracing Yin and Yang, embracing Yang and Yin... Yin and Yang clashing, evolving into supreme sword intent, the Dao is naturally perfect."

Li Chenzhou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He sensed the soaring sword energy, the will contained within it was pure and extreme, existing solely for the purpose of "severing".

This is not a sword intent cultivated by humans, but a sharpness born from heaven and earth, which is closer to the essence of the sword.

Although he is renowned for his fists and palms and does not rely on external tools, all paths lead to the same destination.

He did not imitate the sword intent, but instead used his own fist intent to fight against and merge with it, experiencing the sharpness of "going forward without hesitation and cutting through everything".

Gradually, his originally domineering and profound fist intent seemed to have gained a sharper edge. It didn't become sharper, but rather more penetrating, as if it could pierce through all laws with a single punch and crush all blades with a single palm strike.

This Yin-Yang Eye was not carved by human hands, but formed by the great power of nature. The Yin Eye exudes a sinister aura and a murderous sword intent, surrounded by piles of white bones, while the Yang Eye shines brightly and is full of energy.

The interplay of Yin and Yang and the manifestation of Daoist principles provided him with an excellent opportunity to hone his martial arts skills.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chenzhou exhaled a breath of stale air.

"After the South Heavenly Gate, there should be one more move, but it will take some time, soon..." Li Chenzhou's eyes brightened slightly, his past boxing techniques flowing through his mind.

Li Chenzhou continued forward.

Without much trouble, he passed through the Yin-Yang Fish Eye and arrived deep in the Purple Mountain.

With a casual palm strike, he sliced ​​through the purple rock wall, which was harder than refined iron. Through a hazy halo, a magnificent building that seemed to defy human creation appeared before his eyes.

The white jade gates and green jade steps exude a desolate, cold aura, resembling a celestial palace.

The palace was empty and desolate, devoid of any objects or inscriptions.

However, dozens of lines of faded writing remain on the purple stone wall beside it:

"The God-King Jiang Taixu mistakenly enters Demon Mountain and resolves to investigate!"

"The rogue cultivator Li Mu left this message while exploring Demon Mountain!"

"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Yang Yi, seeks Zhang Lin, and leaves this message before entering Demon Mountain."

"..."

The 37 lines of writings are all left by explorers before they set foot in Zishan over the past tens of thousands of years.

This seems to have become a tradition, or perhaps a curse that no one can escape.

After all, none of those who carved the inscriptions returned.

Passing through the cave behind the silent palace, a faint, almost imperceptible force was calling out.

Following that aura, Li Chenzhou traveled for a long time before finally stepping into a spacious cave.

"Could you... save me... please... save me?"

The voice was intermittent, barely audible, and extremely weak; it would be almost impossible to detect without a keen sense of perception.

"Who are you?" Li Chenzhou stopped in his tracks, his voice calm and unwavering.

"God King... Jiang Tai... Xu..."

After a long while, the sound came again with difficulty, as if it would be completely cut off at any moment.

"Okay, how can I save you?"

The trajectory of the Shrouding Heaven Realm has already changed. Li Chenzhou doesn't know if Ye Fan will still enter this place. He doesn't want this revered God King to fall in obscurity.

"Who are you... He Xiu... Wei?"

Half an hour later, the question came again from the depths of the cave, each word requiring tremendous effort.

"His combat strength is approximately at the Dragon Transformation Realm."

Li Chenzhou estimated that he was comparable to a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm, but he would only be able to determine the exact level after a battle.

"Sigh, just a little bit more..."

A sigh came, containing boundless despair.

The glimmer of dawn that had just been seen vanished in an instant.

"Just... a little bit more!"

The desolate voice rang out again, like that of an old man whose life force had run out and whose heart was ashen.

"That's not necessarily true!"

Li Chenzhou suddenly stopped, his figure as immovable as a mountain, and did not make a move immediately.

He is gathering his strength.

One breath, two breaths... ten breaths!

boom!

A fierce and unparalleled fist intent suddenly erupted from his body, causing his blood and qi to surge like a dragon.

The void seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, and a terrifying fist pressure that was enough to shatter the heavens and the earth suddenly descended, enveloping the entire cave, and contained a pure power that could destroy all laws!

This fist intent?

A glimmer of light appeared in Jiang Taixu's eyes as he found himself trapped in a desperate situation.

This pure and extreme power is not the sharpness of sword energy, but a domineering force that can overcome any technique.

Li Chenzhou slowly pushed out a punch.

This strike, though seemingly slow, was imbued with his divine power and will.

In an instant, the void solidified, then was crushed by pure power, emitting a deafening roar as if it could not bear the weight.

This punch carries a domineering spirit of "extreme power destroying all laws".

Legend has it that the true pinnacle of power requires no fancy moves; a single punch can shatter all techniques.

The force of the fist, seemingly nothing more than unparalleled ferocity and overwhelming power, can instantly evolve into endless variations, vibrating, penetrating, and shattering...

All spirit, vitality, barriers, and laws will be broken under the ultimate power; absolute violence is enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

Li Chenzhou was naturally far removed from this realm, but the fist intent he condensed at this moment still created a terrifying sight:

The void collapsed, and the entire palace roared and trembled.

hum!

The jade wall trembled violently, creating a tiny crack, but the next moment, the divine patterns on the wall flowed, instantly healing it completely and leaving it intact.

"..."

"It is fate...so...you...come forward...and see...my...gestures..."

The flame of hope was extinguished once again, turning to ashes.

Jiang Taixu felt that there was no hope of escaping and that his days were numbered. He had only one thought: he could not let the secret of "fighting" be cut off by his own hands.

Li Chenzhou seemed not to hear, as a portal with Dao patterns condensed behind him flickered.

A fist intent that seemed to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace surged into the sky, stirring up the void. At the same time, another fist intent that suppressed all heavens, the Southern Heavenly Gate Fist, also erupted. The two intents intertwined, like a god shaking the heavens, their power terrifying to the extreme.

"Alas, before reaching... Sendai, there's no need... to waste your time." Jiang Taixu sighed again, urging him to stop his futile attempts and observe the secret techniques.

"There's no rush in performing this technique. I have one more move. If that still doesn't work, then you should leave."

Li Chenzhou shook his head slightly, and the Eternal Gate behind him shone brightly once more. Thousands of kilograms of "Source" burned, and the boundless life essence almost materialized, forming a plume of essence smoke.

With a swift movement, he seized the essence of the wolf smoke and directed it towards the solid jade wall.

"Refine it quickly!"

Jiang Taixu's spirits lifted; it was truly a case of "after passing through mountains and rivers, one seems to have no way out, but then a new village appears amidst the willows and flowers."

After being trapped for four thousand years, he was already on the verge of exhaustion, the root cause of which was that he could not get any external replenishment and had to rely entirely on his own divine power and the weak primordial energy absorbed from the jade wall to survive.

With such a replenishment of vital energy, he could recover some of his divine power, greatly increasing his chances of escaping.

He immediately activated the Hengyu Scripture, and like a long-awaited rain after a drought, he frantically absorbed the life essence that seeped in.

He seemed to transform into a divine furnace, his originally withered form gradually filling up.

Half an hour later.

The portal behind Li Chenzhou disappeared, and a wisp of imperial rune from the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire manifested, transforming into a stream of light that crashed into the jade wall with a thunderous roar.

"Now is the time! Make your move!"

Inside the cave, the God King Jiang Taixu sensed the aura that shared the same origin as him, and his divine power erupted without reservation, combining internal and external forces.

Boom!

The jade disc could not withstand the combined force from both inside and outside, and a large hole was torn in it.

A white figure flashed out of the cave with the speed of a streak of light; it was Jiang Taixu.

Despite her haggard appearance, her unparalleled beauty was still undeniable.

"Jiang Taixu, I thank you for saving my life, young friend. Your talent is unparalleled throughout history!"

Jiang Taixu looked at Li Chenzhou with gratitude and amazement.

He simply couldn't imagine that the person who helped him escape was such a young man, whose life force indicated he was not even twenty years old.

With a cultivation level of Dragon Transformation, he possessed such domineering and unparalleled fist intent. The portal behind him was even more mysterious and unpredictable, exuding a Daoist charm of breaking free from everything and shattering the cage. This should be the form of a young weapon.

Any one of these qualities alone would be enough to make one stand out among the younger generation of the Eastern Wilderness.

All of this is concentrated in one person; even the young emperor's bearing is probably no more than this.

Jiang Taixu could hardly imagine how the young man before him had reached such a level.

"The God King Jiang Taixu is devoted to love and loyalty, and his demeanor is unparalleled. I admire him greatly."

Li Chenzhou smiled, in a very good mood.

During this time, he also studied the Emperor's runes of the Divine Furnace of the Departing Fire, which greatly benefited his cultivation of fist intent.

He had just taken the initiative to guide Jiang Taixu, who sensed and resonated with him, and together they succeeded in one fell swoop.

The two traveled together. Li Chenzhou inquired about the location of the remains of the descendants of Yuan Tianshi, and Jiang Taixu pointed out the direction after recalling for a moment.

Soon, they arrived at a grand hall. Inside, beside a skeleton, there was a silver book gleaming with metallic luster, and nearby were broken pieces of stone armor.

These are the descendants of the Zhang family, the Celestial Masters.

A thousand years ago, he brought the lineage of the Celestial Master to Zishan, but failed to leave, resulting in the near extinction of the lineage.

Li Chenzhou shook his palm, setting up a simple tomb on the spot. Then he picked up the Scroll of Origin and slowly turned the pages.

"Looking up, one observes the celestial phenomena; looking down, one observes the laws of the earth..."

The opening is grand and profound, expounding on the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements, and the unity of heaven and man, which corroborate Li Chenzhou's own learning.

The following text records the wondrous methods of driving mountains and catching seas, sensing constellations, and a Taoist secret realm cultivation scripture called "The Five Divine Arts," which was given by the Yaochi Saintess Yang Yi to Yuan Tianshi Zhang Lin for longevity and nourishment.

Li Chenzhou plans to cultivate the Origin Technique; he desperately needs the Origin.

The two continued deeper and arrived at the center of Zishan Mountain.

A huge stone book stands in the center, several feet long and more than ten feet wide, exuding an ancient aura.

The Beginningless Sutra!

The Wushi Emperor Jade in Li Chenzhou's hand immediately emitted a soft light, echoing the stone book.

Seeing that Li Chenzhou actually possessed the Imperial Jade, Jiang Taixu had an idea: "Try putting the Imperial Jade into the groove..."

Perhaps this young man can truly obtain the invincible, unparalleled legacy of the Beginningless.

The two stepped forward and tried to push the stone scripture aside, but it wouldn't budge.

"The Imperial Jade is not complete. There are nine grooves on the stone scripture, and all nine pieces of Imperial Jade must be collected to open it."

Li Chenzhou was not surprised; this was within his expectations.

Jiang Taixu nodded; that was all he could do.

"The Great Emperor Wushi would never cut off any way out. Since you can safely enter with the Emperor Jade and are not bound by the Emperor Mark, you will surely be able to get out with it."

Li Chenzhou looked at the jade disc, which was still mostly exposed on the stone platform, and reached out to press it down.

hum!

The moment the Imperial Jade sank into the groove, a burst of divine light erupted, engulfing the two of them completely.

After the intense light, the void distorted. When their vision returned, the two found themselves in an abandoned mine, with faint natural light emanating from ahead.

"I've come out... Four thousand years have passed, I wonder if my old friends are still alive."

Jiang Taixu gazed at the faint light at the cave entrance, his face filled with a sense of vicissitude and感慨.

For four thousand years, she has been trapped in this place, and the world has changed. Her contemporaries have probably long since turned to dust, but... is she still alive?

He rose to fame at a young age and was hailed as the greatest attacker in the Eastern Wilderness in five thousand years, sweeping aside his contemporaries and standing out from the crowd.

Exploring the Demon Mountain only to encounter this great calamity, the loneliness and torment of thousands of years are beyond words to outsiders. Today, he has finally escaped his predicament, as if he has been reborn. His gratitude to Li Chenzhou is beyond words.

The young man before him was a prodigy he had never seen before, comparable to the young emperors of ancient times.

That domineering and unparalleled fist intent, which seemed poised to overturn the heavens, that fist intent that suppressed the universe and established order, and the mysterious portal behind him that shimmered with eternal and free Daoist charm... each one was beyond imagination.

The fist intent, in particular, was so powerful that it startled him. In his early years, when he fought against the Central Plains prodigy who wielded a replica of the Emperor's Sword, the power of his fist was no match for the domineering force of this young man's fist intent.

This young man has a limitless future.

……

Shortly after the two had gone, a dark shadow flashed by.

"That boy is terrifying... The force of his punches sends chills down my spine; I feel like I'm about to be beaten like a ball..."
