"What did you say?" Duan De was stunned.

I'm not your son, is it appropriate for you to brag about me like this?

Ye Chen repeated himself in a serious tone:

"I say, that may not be false. The first time I saw you, I felt that you had an imperial aura that seemed to reach the heavens, and your forehead was full and noble beyond measure."

Duan De's fat twitched violently twice.

You didn't say that when you robbed me just now, little brother!

"What kind of business do you do, fellow Daoist?" Ye Chen changed the subject.

Duan De immediately straightened his chest, his face full of righteous indignation:

"Excavating ancient buildings underground and protectively preserving old artifacts allows lost history to resurface and reveals buried truths to the world."

"It is our responsibility to carry on the family legacy!"

"Speak like a human being." Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

"Tomb raiding?" Ye Fan turned it out for Duan De.

Duan De flew into a rage: "Archaeology! It's archaeology! This Taoist priest isn't a thief!"

"Archaeology is great, I should study archaeology."

Ye Chen nodded, unusually refraining from further teasing him.

There are reasons behind why Fatty Duan is in this line of work, but those are secrets that will only be revealed a long, long time from now.

Duan De snorted, too lazy to pay any more attention to the father and son who were in cahoots.

His attention was drawn to something unusual deep within the ruins, and he began to investigate intently.

Ye Chen and Ye Fan followed behind him, walking all the way to a pool of water.

The pool was bottomless, filled with a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Duan Deli stood by the pool, a rare look of seriousness appearing on his usually jovial, chubby face.

"This is the burial ground."

Ye Chen spoke first, "Together with the Yang Tomb outside, they form a Yin-Yang balance, guarding the Tai Chi. The Demon Emperor's Heart is contained within the Yang Tomb, while beneath this Yin Tomb..."

He gazed at the icy pool, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "The Demon Emperor's corpse is most likely down there."

Duan De, unusually, didn't retort. Instead, he nodded: "You are indeed an expert in this field. However, this Yin tomb... cannot be broken open."

"Of course it can't be broken."

Ye Chen spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary: "The desolate tower is located underneath."

The Demon Emperor's primordial spirit was hidden within the tower, and his physical body was dismembered by his own hands. Such a formation, even among the ancient stars of the Big Dipper, none could break through it.

Duan De remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

Although his cultivation level is currently low, his divine sense is surprisingly accurate.

This seemingly ordinary pool of water instilled in him a terror unlike anything he had ever felt before.

That was the instinctive fear that came from the very bones when facing a true emperor-level being.

Duan De left, and he left in great pain, muttering something under his breath.

Ye Chen gazed at the pool of cold, dark water, and suddenly remembered the fate of the Azure Emperor, and couldn't help but hum softly.

The Azure Emperor is a strong contender for the title of "King of Ideas" in the world of "Covering the Sky," and is the most enigmatic emperor in the "Covering the Sky" universe.

The elixir of immortality allows one to take human form and attain enlightenment, granting a lifespan far exceeding that of any emperor throughout history.

The path to immortality would begin shortly after his passing. With his long lifespan, he would have no trouble living to that day.

They were born with all the advantages of favorable timing, location, and human relationships.

The results of it?

This guy, in the prime of his life, suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I have an idea..."

Following the path to immortality paved by others is too boring. I want to create my own immortal realm with my own strength!

In the realm of humanity, isn't it incredibly bold to evolve a true immortal realm?

No need to ascend to the Immortal Realm, I will create my own Immortal Realm!

It can only be said that they were influenced by the divine intervention of the red-haired man.

It's impossible to tell who the king and queen are anymore.

Qing Emperor!

You are the Chaos Lotus for a day, and you will be the Chaos Lotus for a lifetime!

Even if you transform into a human, the idea of ​​evolving the world, etched in your soul, still influences you every moment!

The Heavenly Will spoke softly: "Lao Qing, you were born as the Chaos Green Lotus. Stop struggling. Evolving into the Immortal Realm is your destiny!"

The Azure Emperor should have said: "To hell with fate! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Whether I am a demon or an immortal, only I can decide!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought about it.

"Can it evolve?"

He muttered to himself, "Lao Qing, you don't have that ability, you know that?"

Ye Fan, listening from the side, was completely bewildered: "Father, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and patted Ye Fan on the shoulder.

"Let's go. That's enough about it here. Time to head back."

"Go back? Go back where?"

"Of course, I'll return to my most loyal Lingxu Cave Heaven."

Ye Chen turned around with his hands behind his back, his moon-white robe fluttering gently in the mountain breeze.

"Cultivate yourself diligently and lay a solid foundation. The road ahead is long."

Ye Fan followed in his father's footsteps and glanced back at the bottomless pool of water.

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind... It seemed his father knew everything.

Not only do they know what's here, but they also know what it means.

He could even offer his opinion on what kind of person the Azure Emperor was.

This kind of "knowledge" goes far beyond the scope of "being well-informed".

Ye Fan opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but in the end he didn't speak. He suddenly realized that his father seemed to be hiding a secret even deeper than the entire Demon Emperor's Tomb.

call--!

The mountain wind blew across the primitive ruins, dispersing the lingering smoke and divine glow.

Ye Fan followed closely in his father's footsteps.

Ye Chen walked ahead, his hands behind his back, his steps calm and confident.

His sea of ​​suffering contained more than a dozen spirit weapons, as well as several source stones he had "begged" from Duan De.

More importantly, he witnessed firsthand the most classic major event in the early stages of Shrouding the Heavens: the birth of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

The story I had read countless times in another world was now unfolding before my eyes.

He was no longer an ordinary person who could only read and fantasize, but a cultivator who was personally involved in it.

He stole Duan De's things.

He obtained the spirit weapon.

He witnessed firsthand the eternally beating heart of the Demon Emperor and the primordial blue lotus.

He even stood before the Yin Tomb where the desolate tower stood and commented on the merits and demerits of a great emperor.

This feeling is wonderful.

Ye Chen squinted slightly as he faced the afterglow of the setting sun.

The Qingdi Tomb is about to close.

But the turmoil in the Eastern Wilderness has only just begun.

And he, Ye Chen!

The Heavenly Emperor's strictest father, a great cultivator at the peak of the Other Shore, and the greatest variable in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, will also begin his unique journey from here.

My son will become the Heavenly Emperor.

And what about me, the stern father of the Heavenly Emperor?

He will become the strictest father in the world of Shrouding the Heavens!

Ye Chen smiled, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and said to Ye Fan behind him:

"Let's go back and cultivate diligently. Your father will teach you how to become the Heavenly Emperor."

"Father, were you ever the Heavenly Emperor? Teach me!"

……

"The Heavenly Emperor?"

Amidst a world of fragrant flowers and singing birds, a clear sound rang out.

This world is like a sacred paradise in legends, with scenery as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

The mountains are beautiful, and amidst the misty clouds, pavilions and palaces appear and disappear in the depths of the sacred mountains.

A graceful figure stood atop the cliff.

The surrounding mist swirled, and the woman, dressed in white, was as pure as snow. Her clothes fluttered lightly in the wind, making her seem like a fairy who might ride the wind away at any moment.

This woman was extremely beautiful, like a secluded orchid in a valley, ethereal and otherworldly, possessing a serene beauty.
