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

Li Chenzhou paced back and forth, his originally dark eyes now filled with a purple aura.

Wherever his gaze fell, the texture of the stone and the energy it contained were clearly visible.

This is the eye technique of the Yuan Tian Master lineage, the Yuan Tian Divine Eye!

"Young man, do you still want to choose stones?" An old man who arrived late rubbed his hands, feeling restless because he had missed the birth of the divine medicine.

The gambler's mentality remains the same, even across the universe.

"Let's continue. Now that we've entered this treasure trove, how can we leave empty-handed?" Li Chenzhou smiled calmly, his words brimming with confidence.

At this moment, Dao Yi Stone Archway was packed with people. The luminaries, important figures, and even powerful beings at the Sendai level from various holy lands were all alarmed, eager to witness the prowess of the person who could cut out the divine medicine, and even more eager to see if any more miracles would occur.

"Quick, make way for this young man."

The crowd spontaneously parted to create a path.

Li Chenzhou walked slowly, his Yuantian Divine Eye gleaming with purple light as he scanned every strange rock in the garden.

Whenever his gaze lingered on a particular stone, it would draw a crowd of onlookers, as if the stone had instantly become a hundred times more valuable.

He used the ice and snow he had just cut to buy a stone the size of a washbasin.

Without giving it much of a look, he simply slapped it down lightly with his hand.

As the stone flakes flew, a sacred and peaceful aura spread out, its light gentle yet not dazzling, able to dispel the gloom in people's hearts.

"It's a different kind of source—the Dawn Divine Source! It's as big as a human head! This is a priceless treasure for nourishing the soul!"

A gasp of amazement rippled through the garden.

This piece of Dawn Divine Source is priceless; for those whose souls are injured, it is a coveted sacred object.

Li Chenzhou did not stop walking, and the purple light in his eyes intensified.

He used this piece of Dawn Divine Source to buy three more seemingly ordinary stones.

Immediately, he struck out with three palms in succession.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Divine radiance, each unique, soared into the sky!

"It's pure divine source! A divine source the size of a human head!"

"And there's also the Azure Spring, teeming with endless vitality!"

"Infernal Source! Such scorching fire essence!"

boom!

The crowd erupted in excitement. Those gambling on stones carefully selected them, burning incense and bathing beforehand.

The young man, however, strolled leisurely, casually selecting the treasure and releasing it with a flick of his wrist.

All three stones were found.

Among them is a piece of pure divine source of immeasurable value! First, its total value is comparable to hundreds of thousands of kilograms of ordinary source.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Four stones selected in a row, and not a single one was a miss!"

A supreme elder from the sacred land said in a trembling voice, "No wonder he looked down on that incomplete divine medicine. With such divine skill, wouldn't all the world's rare treasures be in his possession?"

"The Origin Heaven Divine Eye! This must be the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, which has been lost for a long time in the Origin Master lineage!" A knowledgeable elder exclaimed excitedly, finally recognizing the origin of the purple divine eye. "Only the Origin Heaven Divine Eye can so clearly see the mysteries of Origin Stones."

All eyes were fixed intently on those eyes that shimmered with purple light.

Finally, Li Chenzhou's gaze settled on a rare stone worth 100,000 jin of Origin.

This stone has nine orifices, resembling a human figure, and its surface has a natural flow of Taoist energy, making it extremely mysterious. However, due to its high price and the fact that no one can see through it, it has been placed here for many years, and no one dares to touch it.

"He's going to move that nine-aperture stone figure!"

"To witness such a duel between the Source Heaven Divine Eye and the Stone Spirit with nine innate apertures is truly a worthwhile trip!"

Expectations and doubts coexist.

"Hmph, so what if he has the Eye of Origin? This stone is strange; our ancestors from the Origin Arts family have investigated it many times but all have returned empty-handed. How could a mere youth possibly see through it?"

Several young heirs from families specializing in Origin Arts wore expressions of disdain, but were actually nervous inside, fearing they would be humiliated in public.

"Ancient texts record that when the Origin Heaven Divine Eye is cultivated to its fullest potential, purple qi will travel three hundred miles eastward, enabling one to observe the qi veins of heaven and earth and discern the origin of all things... Today, I have actually been able to witness its true form!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard murmured to himself, deeply moved.

Inside and outside the Tianzihao Stone Garden, there was complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath, following Li Chenzhou, afraid of missing any detail.

Even the lively and energetic little princess of Daxia held her breath, clenched her clothes, and stared intently at Li Chenzhou with her big eyes, eager to see what would happen next.

An Miaoyi's eyes sparkled, her figure was graceful and elegant, like a dragon in flight, her body flawless, exuding a captivating charm.

She was also quietly observing Li Chenzhou, her beautiful face showing a slight change in expression, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

Not far away, Jiang Yifei, a member of the Jiang family, stood in a white robe, looking otherworldly and immaculate, his refined demeanor tinged with a hint of doubt.

He was ordered to come here because the God King Ancestor of his family, who had been missing for four thousand years, had suddenly returned. He was ordered to bring the supreme imperial weapon, Hengyu Furnace, to support one person at all costs.

As for who this person is, the patriarch only said that his demeanor is unparalleled, and he is hard to match among the younger generation. One look at him is enough to know.

At this moment, his gaze fell on Li Chenzhou, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

Li Chenzhou's eyes shone with a brilliant purple light, like two purple suns, as he stared at the nine-aperture stone man.

To outsiders, he was using his Origin Technique to discern the true nature of the stone.

After several dozen breaths, he suddenly pointed his fingers together like a sword, his fingertips emitting a sharp gust of wind, and struck out nine times in succession. The nine fine finger winds entered the nine orifices of the stone man!

"A hint of fist intent... this... this isn't a source technique!"

Upon seeing this, the people from the Yuanshu family were first taken aback, then secretly sneered, concluding that he had run out of tricks.

However, the next moment—the stone covering the Nine-Aperture Stone Man's body shattered inch by inch, turning into dust and falling down in a flurry.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no divine light soaring into the sky.

Just when everyone thought it was just another useless rock and was feeling disappointed—

The little princess of Great Xia was pure and innocent, her big eyes blinking brightly, full of liveliness, staring intently at Li Chenzhou, curious about his next move.

An Miaoyi's eyes dimmed, her expectations had faded. She shook her head slightly, no longer paying attention to the scene. Her flawless face remained calm, but disappointment was hard to hide.

"As expected, even the people from the Source Arts families had already declared that this stone contained no treasures, so how could anything possibly be cut out of it!"

Some elderly people secretly rejoiced that they hadn't impulsively bought the stone back then, otherwise their life savings would probably have been lost.

"Whenever there is a rare treasure within, there will be unusual phenomena when the outer layer of the stone peels off. Divine radiance soaring into the sky is the most basic. Such silence must mean that there is nothing there."

Li Chenzhou seemed unwilling to give up, and pointed his fingers repeatedly, sending sharp gusts of wind striking various parts of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man's body. Stone chips flew everywhere, but the inside remained a vast expanse of white. Not to mention any alien source, not even the most ordinary source skin could be seen.

Finally, he even struck out with his palm, shattering most of the stone man's body, but the result was still the same—nothing was found.

Is that really the case?

The older generation felt relieved, their faces filled with even greater joy.

The entire nine-aperture stone figure has almost completely turned to dust, and only the head remains intact. However, judging from its condition, it doesn't seem like it could contain any rare treasures.

At this point, the entire Tianzihao Stone Garden was filled with sighs and lamentations, and no one had any more faith in this stone.

To them, the boy's simple and crude methods were clearly the result of youthful impetuosity and being blinded by his previous good fortune.

"Hahaha..." The members of the Source Arts family couldn't help but burst into laughter, their voices laced with sarcasm: "I thought it was some kind of earth-shattering Source Arts technique. This stone has been here for who knows how many years. Our family's senior experts have examined it countless times, and no one has dared to touch it. Do you really think you're some legendary Source Master reincarnated?"

Even the Great Xia prince and Yao Yuekong of the Heavenly Demon Palace, who had previously been quite convinced of Li Chenzhou, fell silent.

With the authority of the Source Arts family present, their words practically sealed the stone's fate.

Jiang Yifei, standing some distance away, frowned slightly, a hint of uncertainty creeping into his expression.

Is this truly the peerless person that the Divine King Ancestor spoke of, the one who needs the Jiang family's full support?

But he quickly calmed himself down. No matter the outcome, if this person encountered difficulties later, he would definitely help him, because this favor was too great.

Amidst the mocking sighs and jeers, Li Chenzhou smiled slightly, unaffected by the surrounding chaos.

His expression was calm as he slowly said, "Divine objects conceal themselves, their brilliance hidden; this is... an unparalleled celestial material!"

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of deathly silence, followed by an even louder burst of laughter.

Everyone shook their heads, believing that the young man had lost his mind and was delirious, and had started talking nonsense.

The Emperor's exclusive celestial ingredients cannot be cut out so easily.

"What if there are no immortal ingredients?"

Li Yishui, the Supreme Elder of the Illusion Palace, snorted coldly. He still held a grudge against the previous refusal to sell the incomplete divine medicine.

"You want to gamble with me?" Li Chenzhou glanced at him, took out the jade box containing the incomplete elixir of immortality, and placed it on the table. "This medicine is valued at 100,000 catties of pure source."

This not only stunned Li Yishui, but also surprised everyone around him, and a murmur of discussion instantly erupted!

"Sigh, young people can't handle setbacks, they're going to give up entirely!" The members of the Yuanshu family looked on with mockery, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

"Elder Li, bet with him! This is a free miracle drug!" an old man said enviously, cheering.

"Yes, let's bet with him!" The crowd, always eager for excitement, started clamoring.

"Alright, I'll take this bet with you!"

Seeing that everyone believed it was a worthless stone, and seeing Li Chenzhou so "out of his mind," Li Yishui felt reassured. With a wave of his hand, 100,000 catties of pure source material piled up like a mountain, radiating brilliant light.

Li Chenzhou's smile deepened, and he said loudly, "Since we're gambling on stones, and gambling is the key word, let's make the stakes even higher."

"How can it be bigger?" everyone wondered.

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Chenzhou unleashed the Dawn Light Divine Source, Azure Sky Source, Burning Flame Source, and even the head-sized pure divine source he had just cut out. Their dazzling light dazzled the eyes.

"I will be the dealer. Anyone who wishes to gamble may enter. These resources are valued at 800,000 catties, plus the Immortal Elixir, totaling 900,000 catties of resources as the stake." He looked around. "Is anyone willing to participate?"

"I've pressed down 30,000 jin of ore!"

"I'll press 130,000 jin!"

"I'll bet 20,000!"

"I'll bet five thousand!"

......

The scene instantly became a huge hit!

More and more people joined the gambling, with stakes ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of kilograms, all extremely excited, seeing it as free wealth.

"The stakes are even, stop betting." The old Taoist nun from Dao Yi Holy Land spoke up at the right time, her voice authoritative, taking charge of the situation.

"Gentlemen, now that you've made your purchases," Li Chenzhou said calmly, facing the massive source mountain. "Then please behold my unparalleled immortal material... now revealed to the world."

"Haha, still being stubborn, get to it!" Laughter erupted from the audience.

Li Chenzhou said no more, his fingers forming a sword shape, a sharp edge gathering at his fingertips, aimed at the stone man's forehead, and he said softly, "If we don't act now, when will we?"

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, not loud, but instantly drowning out all the noise.

"Zheng—!"

In the next instant, a jet-black sword light shot into the sky from the cracked forehead bone.

The murderous intent was overwhelming and pervasive.

Instantly shattering the sealing light barrier set up by the old Taoist nun, the chilling killing intent enveloped the entire stone garden.

As the stone dust dissipated, the dark light transformed into a tangible black sword shadow, shrieking sharply and carrying boundless resentment and killing intent, aiming straight for Li Chenzhou's brow.

"You wretched creature! How dare you act so violently!"

Li Chenzhou's expression remained unchanged. A vast fist intent, arriving first after being released later, shone brightly like the sun and was equally fierce and incomparable, meeting the attack head-on.

Clang!

The dark light wailed, instantly suppressed by the fist's intent.

As the light faded, a small, jet-black sword, about an inch long, floated quietly in Li Chenzhou's palm.

The sword has an ancient and simple design, covered with natural dragon-shaped patterns.

"Heavens! The killing intent soars to the heavens, interwoven with complete Dao and reason; this is... an unparalleled celestial ingredient!"

"Dragon-patterned Black Gold! It's Dragon-patterned Black Gold, the supreme immortal gold made of the same material as the ultimate imperial weapon of the Yao Guang Holy Land!"

"A sacred artifact exclusively for the Great Emperor, one of the Nine Immortal Metals! It...it actually came out of there!"

The entire Dao Yi Stone Archway was in an uproar, an unimaginable shock.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the small sword, which emitted a dark light.

Li Chenzhou flipped his hand and put away the dragon-patterned black gold sword. His gaze swept over the mountain of source blocks and the immortal divine medicine in front of him, and he was delighted.

"Gentlemen, you flatter me. It would be disrespectful to refuse this 1.8 million catties of source and this divine herb."

The entire venue was deathly silent!

Everyone involved in the betting instantly turned deathly pale.

The void was silent.

As soon as Li Chenzhou spoke, everyone who was still immersed in the shock of the appearance of the dragon-patterned black gold instantly came to their senses.

We lost?

Cutting out flesh and gouging out the heart!

A wail rose into the sky, completely erasing the earlier exclamation.

"My resources... are all gone!"

"A lifetime of savings, all gone... Greed is a killer, greed is a killer!"

An old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, his face ashen, his Daoist heart crumbling.

Many people hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top, but instead fell into the abyss in an instant.

Seeing the white-robed youth casually sweep away the million catties of Origin and numerous rare treasures with a flick of his sleeve, they felt as if their hearts were bleeding and they could hardly breathe.

"Young friend!"

An old man suddenly spoke up, "I am Huo Sanming from the Purple Mansion Holy Land, and I am willing to offer 150,000 catties of Pure Source to purchase this Immortal Golden Sword."

"My younger sister also loves this item very much; it contains 180,000 catties of raw material!"

The prince of Great Xia also spoke, and the little princess beside him opened her eyes wide with hope.

Li Chenzhou shook his head calmly, his tone even, "The elixir of immortality has extended my imperial life, but I still lack a suitable imperial weapon. This sword is just right for me."

"Legend has it that there is a divine spring in Yaochi, left by the Queen Mother of the West. It is a supreme treasure for nourishing spiritual roots. I want to plant this medicine by the spring. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope to recreate the elixir of immortality."

"As for the time..." he said confidently, "I will retrieve it when I reach the pinnacle and sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths."

An imperial decree?

Imperial weapon?
