Covering the Sky: I am the White Tiger Immortal Elixir

Chapter 123 The Undying Daoist's Dao Heart Collapses

Even the Undying Daoist couldn't bother using his divine sense to control the corpse of the Great Perfection Holy Body.

He appeared, his Taoist robe quite ancient, bearing the marks of time, and his purple-gold crown dull and nearly rotten.

The Immortal Taoist's appearance was full of compassion, but at this moment it was twisted and deformed with terror: "You really came back?!"

He was terrified, he was afraid, he was so shocked that his body cracked.

How is this possible? He clearly saw the Emperor die, his primordial spirit disintegrate, how could he possibly return?!

But this aura is so real, it's like the emperor from the mythical era has reappeared!

The Immortal Daoist had been suppressed by the Investiture of the Gods for too long and was already very weak. He couldn't see through the fact that Ye Fan under the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was not an Emperor.

He could only tell that this Emperor was very weak, extremely weak, with only the cultivation of a Dao Palace cultivator, and could be killed ten thousand times with a single breath.

But he didn't dare to gamble at all.

The Emperor observed him back then, which allowed him to relinquish all his cultivation and undergo a rebirth. This is a precedent!

Moreover, look at the person next to the Emperor, the Underworld Emperor!

The White Tiger Immortal Elixir is also available, the Chaos Green Lotus has attained enlightenment, and the Divine Phoenix Elixir has also appeared.

The Immortal Ascension Cauldron is also there, although much of it is broken, but only in the hands of an Emperor does it possess such power!

Moreover, his original son was also there, and he still joined the Heavenly Court!

The Immortal Taoist was nearly driven mad with fear.

He can accept these people appearing alone, and he doesn't care if they even prove their Dao; the Chaos Green Lotus is a precedent for this.

Even if Ye Fan appeared alone, it would simply be a coincidence that he, like the Emperor, had also happened to cultivate the Emperor's Scripture.

As the embodiment of faith of the Immortal Emperor, he possesses his own pride.

But the appearance of all these people together, and Ye Fan speaking in the language of the mythological era that he had returned, was terrifying.

They look the same, have the same voices, read the same scriptures, and are surrounded by the same people and objects!

This is no coincidence!

This absolutely cannot be a coincidence!

The Emperor, the most powerful being of that mythical era.

That will create the first Taoist Heavenly Court in the universe.

That man who could still rule over a vast immortal land even in the Immortal Realm.

He is back!

He lived another life, cultivated again, and was protected by people from the ancient Heavenly Court!

conspiracy!

The Immortal Daoist was horrified and realized in an instant that the Heavenly Court War at the end of the mythological era was a conspiracy!

Look at the Chaos Green Lotus that proved its Dao, look at the White Tiger Immortal Elixir that took human form—the Emperor began his planning back in the mythological era!

The fact that a single Qingdi who attained enlightenment is not a significant force may be a stroke of good luck.

However, the White Tiger Immortality Elixir also took human form and appeared at the Sacred Cliff, which signifies something different.

The Emperor's plan to cultivate the elixir of immortality has been a success!

No wonder the Divine Phoenix Medicine followed me. It's a good thing that my original body thought it was forced and gave the Divine Phoenix Medicine a lot of leeway.

It turns out that everything was part of the Emperor's plan!

Even the Emperor managed to bring the Holy Spirit, whom he had been unable to win over, into the Heavenly Court!

Furthermore, was the incomplete chaotic body that was sensed to have attained enlightenment more than 200,000 years ago also nurtured by the Emperor?

Otherwise, how could the artifact forged from her imperial body appear here!

The Immortal Daoist felt like a moth drawn to a flame, having never escaped the Emperor's control for millions of years.

The Emperor was able to create a technique that surpassed even that of a True Immortal in the realm of humanity; such talent was almost unheard of even in the Immortal Realm.

This time he returned with an elixir of immortality transformed from a celestial being. Is he going to become king?

"You—you planned this all along?" The Immortal Taoist's voice was hoarse.

He thought he had escaped that battle by sheer luck, that he was one of the survivors of the catastrophe.

But now he understands that he was not a fish that slipped through the net, but bait that the Emperor had deliberately released.

What does the Emperor want to do with himself?

The more the Immortal Taoist thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Ye Fan didn't respond, but calmly said, "You haven't died. Millions of years have passed, and you still haven't improved at all."

"Why are you so afraid, this body that embodies the faith of all souls? Do you deserve the faith of all the souls who believe in you?"

The Immortal Taoist became increasingly terrified.

The same.

The Emperor spoke in the same tone as before, telling him that the path of faith was not to be upheld and was not the right way, and now he was saying the same thing again.

The Emperor still had to tell the story of reincarnation, and the Immortal Daoist still had to listen.

This time it's even more thorough, with even the Heavenly Emperor's son joining the Heavenly Court!

Bai Qi scolded from the side, "Little sparrow, the Emperor gave you a chance back then, but what did you choose?"

He took out the remnants of the Immortal Elixir: "You used the Immortal Bell to beat the Immortal into this state. How can you face Him for pleading for you back then?"

"I was right after all. The Emperor should convert you and make you his mount!"

When the Immortal Taoist saw this broken root, the look of horror on his face intensified.

Even the Flying Immortal Medicine didn't completely kill him!

The Chaos Green Lotus and the Devouring Demon Jar hung high, radiating supreme imperial might.

Many mountains in the distance collapsed, and even the black mountains cracked in an instant.

The Immortal Daoist intended to use the Great Perfection Holy Body to resist, but the Investiture of the Gods emitted light, and a golden hand pressed down.

This is equivalent to the palm of the Great Emperor Wushi, invincible in the world, and now it is unleashing its power together with the two imperial weapons.

Bai Qi unleashed the secret technique taught to him by Wushi Zhong to activate the Investiture of the Gods: "Immortal Phoenix, do you think Wushi isn't a member of the Heavenly Court?!"

"The Investiture of the Gods has suppressed you until today, all in preparation for the Emperor's return!"

"Past grievances will be settled today; you are destined to perish!"

After he finished speaking, the two imperial weapons and the Investiture of the Gods descended simultaneously.

Even this Black Mountain, stained with the blood of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, could not withstand such power and was about to explode.

At the critical moment, Shenhuangyao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to spare the life of this faith body."

"Back then, the true form of the Celestial Phoenix betrayed the Heavenly Court. Today, let this body of faith betray the true form."

"We will let Him enter the body of the Immortal Phoenix and become the new primordial spirit."

This was a plan Bai Qi had prepared long ago, to extract another of the Nine Secrets that the Immortal Daoist possessed.

Otherwise, why would he bother scaring the Immortal Daoist? He could have just used two Imperial Weapons directly, saving him time and effort.

As for the claim that the Immortal Daoist would take over the body of the Immortal Emperor, that was naturally a lie.

Bai Qi doesn't have such methods.

But that doesn't matter, as long as the Immortal Taoist believes it.

More importantly, even if Bai Qi could truly subdue the Immortal Daoist, he didn't want to keep him alive.

Perhaps as long as the Immortal Taoist is kept hidden, he might be able to kill the Immortal Emperor in the future and thus take over the throne.

But it's unnecessary.

He ambushed and killed the Great Accomplished Holy Body of the Guardian Void Emperor; this is an indelible original sin.

We cannot let Ye Fan feel disheartened, nor can we let the masses feel disheartened.

As for the Emperor's son—

Then let's keep the knife hidden in the filial piety.

After being converted, the Tiger Heart Society became his everything.

The Emperor's son also stepped forward at this moment: "Father!"

"Your original self abandoned me after giving birth to me; it's you who have been with me all this time!"

"You've done everything that your original self couldn't!"

"In my heart, you are not just a symbol of faith, but my Father!"

"You are not his vassal, you are independent! Please agree to the Emperor's request, I don't want to lose you!"

It is worth mentioning that the plan to use himself as bait to trap the Nine Secrets was actually proposed by the Emperor's son.

Perhaps this lineage is born with the gene for backstabbing.

In short, after the Emperor proposed this plan, the Tiger Heart Society members were all relieved that they had managed to convert him.

With such a temperament, if he is not guided and restrained, he might be capable of slaughtering ordinary people.

"My son!" The Immortal Daoist was greatly shocked.

Bai Qi simply played the bad cop: "Your Majesty! The Immortal Daoist cannot be allowed to live!"

"This person is the embodiment of the Celestial Phoenix's faith, a culmination of the faith of countless races accumulated over millions of years, deeply rooted in their beliefs!"

"Even though he's forced to bow his head today, he'll surely retaliate if given the chance in the future!"

Old Daoist Chilong felt that he could no longer understand the Big Dipper at all.

He couldn't understand this grand drama spanning millions of years at all; he only knew it was amazing.

Duan De didn't even know what his role was.

All he knew was that Bai Qi had brought him to the Sacred Cliff for archaeological research.

Ye Fan raised his hand, and the Divine Child cooperated with him to use the Immortal Ascension Cauldron to hold up the two imperial weapons, leaving only the giant hand of the Investiture of the Gods list suspended in the air.

Ye Fan's aura was profound, carrying a certain confidence and an imposing presence, awaiting the Immortal Daoist's choice.

In his heart, however, he was screaming: "President, please don't make things difficult for me after the show is over!"

The Immortal Taoist remained silent for a long time.

There can be coincidences in the world, but it's impossible for so many coincidences to happen at the same time.

"For millions of years, I thought I had finally escaped your shadow."

"In the end, even this body of faith was just a pawn in your game."

The voice of the Immortal Taoist was filled with a weary resignation.

Because the being he feared most had returned in the most impossible way.

"You're still so confident, still so calculating, just like you used the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to save the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone."

"Back then, we all thought you wanted to ascend to immortality with the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, but we never expected that you only saw them as nourishment."

"It's the same now. You use this body of faith as a tool to reclaim the old guard of the Heavenly Court."

"Do you need my physical form to locate the coordinates of the Immortal Realm?"

The Immortal Taoist said dejectedly, "Those who do not believe in reincarnation have created the old story of reincarnation."

"Your Majesty, you have won."

Millions of years of struggle, millions of years of waiting, he thought he had finally escaped that person's shadow.

So what if he's suppressed by the Investiture of the Gods? He'll always find a way to escape.

So what if the Great Emperor Wushi suddenly appears? He can wait until that man who turned his back on all living beings grows old.

He can wait; he can wait for everything.

But the only thing they couldn't wait for was for the Emperor to return.

Because the Emperor's return means that nothing has ever changed.

The Daoist's Dao heart was shattered.

He thought he was free.

In the end, even the birth of this faith body was part of the Emperor's plan.

The Immortal Taoist laughed loudly, his voice like the wailing of an owl or a lone wolf gazing at the moon.

His purple-gold crown exploded, and his long hair fell loose: "Emperor!"

"Tell me, what am I anyway?!"

"I am the embodiment of the Celestial Phoenix's faith, a deity worshipped by all races, and a supreme being from the primordial era!"

"But in your eyes, I'm nothing more than a pawn, a pawn used to locate the coordinates of the Immortal Realm!"

"I'm really not reconciled!"

Ye Fan stopped talking.

He had no idea what the Immortal Taoist had imagined.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make; remaining silent is more like what an emperor would do.

The Emperor is inherently unfathomable.

At least that's how Ye Fan sees it.

The Heavenly Emperor stepped forward at the opportune moment, bypassing Bai Qi, who had transformed into his true form, and came to speak with the Immortal Daoist.

He was dressed in white, his phoenix eyes filled with sorrow: "Father, now that the Emperor has returned, let us rejoin the Heavenly Court!"

"Like father, like son; this is sure to become a legendary tale!"

"With our hearts united, father and son, what worries could we possibly have about not being able to recreate our glory in Heaven!"

The Immortal Taoist stared blankly at the Heavenly Emperor's son.

This is the original body's son, yet he calls himself father.

The Immortal Daoist never imagined that one day he would hear those two words from the Emperor's son.

He is the embodiment of faith, the shadow of the Immortal Emperor, and the protector left by the Immortal Emperor for Purple Mountain.

But in the Emperor's son's words, he became his father.

Watching the Immortal Taoist constantly talking to the Heavenly Emperor's son, Bai Qi sighed, "The incense offerings are poisonous."

Even the immortal emperor's faith entity, through a series of schemes, developed thoughts of betraying its original form.

No wonder the body of Amitabha Buddha, in its faith, ultimately took the entire Mount Sumeru with it to its death.

The supreme golden body, forged by the power of the thoughts of all sentient beings, may appear magnificent, but in reality, it is a set of shackles.

The longer you wear these shackles, the less you can tell who you are.

Finally, they might even develop thoughts completely contrary to their original self, embarking on a path that even their original self could not have foreseen.

Possessing most of the original's memories and supernatural powers, yet remaining relatively independent, this is the definition of a faith-based incarnation.

The Immortal Taoist asked, "Has the White Tiger Immortal Elixir ever wronged you?"

The Emperor's son said, "No, on the contrary, he used the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality to help me undergo Nirvana."

The Immortal Daoist then asked, "Did the Emperor bestow upon you the Nine Secrets?"

The Heavenly Emperor said, "This—no. However, the Emperor allowed me to freely cultivate the Azure Emperor's secret techniques."

The Immortal Daoist sighed deeply. As expected, the Emperor was still keeping a close watch on the Nine Secrets.

Fortunately, he still has two more secrets: one is the "Xing" secret, and the other is the "Zhe" secret.

The "Zhe" character is one of the nine secrets, primarily responsible for healing injuries and possessing the ultimate power of regeneration.

When one reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, even if only a single drop of blood remains, it can be re-formed from a wisp of life force.

Combining this secret technique with the bloodline of the Emperor's son would grant him an extremely terrifying ability to survive.

After mastering the secrets of cultivation, the Heavenly Emperor's son will not be much weaker than Erdan in terms of survival ability.

The Immortal Taoist secretly passed on the word "Zhe" to the Heavenly Emperor's son.

The Emperor bowed deeply, expressed his sincere gratitude, and spoke with genuine emotion.

Then he stepped back to Bai Qi's side: "President, we've got the Nine Secrets, it's the 'Zhe' Secret."

The Immortal Taoist was stunned.

President?

What does that mean?

Ye Fan then dropped his pretense: "President! I'm so relieved I don't have to pretend to be an Emperor anymore! You scared me to death!"

The Immortal Daoist was struck dumb, frozen in place: "You—you all—"

Before he could lash out, Bai Qi directly used the Chaos Green Lotus, the Devouring Demon Jar, and the Investiture of the Gods to smash the Undying Daoist in one fell swoop.

The body of the Great Accomplished Holy Body rolled down the cliff and was retrieved by Bai Yong using the Chaos Green Lotus.

He used stones from the sacred cliff to forge a new coffin for the Great Accomplished Holy Body and offered a solemn prayer: "Rest in peace."

The mountain wind howled, stirring up a thick black mist, but stopped before the stone coffin, as if even heaven and earth did not wish to disturb this aging hero.

After doing all this, Bai Qi turned to the crowd behind him and exclaimed, "We've struck it rich!"

"Of the nine secrets—临, 兵, 斗, 者, 皆, 数, 组, 前, 行—eight have been obtained; only the secret of numbers remains!"
