Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

Ye Chen felt the spirit of the lungs operating autonomously within his body, continuously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and an unprecedented sense of fullness filled his entire body.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and the powerful force of the Dao Palace realm surged through his limbs and bones, giving him an illusion... as if he could devour the sky in one gulp.

Before he could fully comprehend this power, the voice of the Dragon Head Peak Master rang in his ears, like a whisper from right next to him.

"come over."

Ye Chen composed himself, straightened his clothes, and quickly walked out of the cave, heading up the mountain path.

The Dragon Head Peak Master resides in the ancient hall atop the peak year-round, and ordinary disciples may never be summoned for a private audience in their entire lives.

Ye Chen's breakthrough this time alarmed many people, and the peak master obviously wanted to explain something to him in person.

The ancient hall was deep and secluded, and a replica of the black and gold dragon-patterned cauldron stood quietly in the center of the hall, the real dragon pattern on the cauldron glowing faintly in the dim light.

The Dragon Head Peak Master sat atop the high platform, surrounded by divine light, obscuring his face, except for his eyes that shone as brightly as the sun.

"In just a few months, he stepped from the other shore into the first level of the Dao Palace. His foundation is profound and his roots are not weak."

The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice was like heavenly music, revealing neither joy nor anger, but carrying an undisguised hint of approval.

"Ye Chen, you are very good, extremely good. You have not disappointed me."

Ye Chen lowered his head and remained silent.

"However, your breakthrough this time was so significant that it alerted quite a few people."

The Dragon Head Peak Master paused slightly, "There are many experts in the Holy Land who are paying attention to you now, some with good intentions and some with bad intentions."

Ye Chen raised his head, his gaze calm, yet carrying three parts fighting spirit and seven parts demonic nature:

"Peak Master, will someone attack me?"

The Dragon Head Peak Master let out a low laugh, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant arrogance:

"The competition within the Holy Land is fierce. There have always been many who want to suppress our lineage, but they have only experienced minor setbacks and cannot cause any significant waves."

He then changed the subject, "But the challenges you personally face will certainly be numerous. There will be both overt confrontations and covert sabotage."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Peak Master, this disciple wishes to leave the Holy Land for a period of time."

"reason?"

Ye Chen lowered his voice slightly, his tone almost frank and straightforward:

"Devouring the source is ultimately the true method of cultivating the sacred art. Being confined within the sacred ground, with too many restrictions, makes it difficult to achieve great success."

The Dragon Head Peak Master remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed through the empty ancient hall, causing the candlelight to flicker unpredictably.

"Okay, very good."

He stopped laughing, and his tone became more genuinely gratified.

"Ye Chen, I am very happy that you have such awareness. Immortal skills cannot be mastered by simply sitting in meditation. You must kill, seize, and devour."

You've spent several months in the Holy Land, and your foundation is firmly established. It's time for you to go out and explore.

He took out a black jade talisman from his sleeve and casually tossed it out.

The jade talisman transformed into a stream of light and entered Ye Chen's brow.

"This is the Four Extremes Chapter of the Sacred Art. According to the rules, it should be taught to you only after your Dao Palace is completed, but since you are going out to gain experience, I will give it to you in advance."

"Reflect carefully on your journey, and don't betray this trust."

Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly, but his face remained calm as he cupped his hands in a salute:

"Your disciple will remember this."

Elder Li will provide you with sufficient resources to support your cultivation outside.

The Dragon Head Peak Master waved his hand, his tone suddenly becoming indifferent, as if he were instructing someone on a trivial matter, "Ye Chen, I have only one request for you."

"Please speak, Peak Master."

"If you're going to kill, you must kill them all."

The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice was kept extremely low, so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"Our existence must never be known to outsiders. If there's a risk of exposure, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Do you understand?"

Ye Chen lowered his head: "This disciple understands."

The Dragon Head Peak Master didn't say anything more, but simply waved his hand casually, signaling him to step back.

Ye Chen bowed and left the ancient hall.

The palace doors slowly closed behind him with a dull thud.

He stood outside the door, his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

And just like that, I got my hands on the Four Extremes Chapter.

The Dragon Head Peak Master may seem generous, but in reality, he treats him like a wolf that has been freed up... letting him go out to devour, grow, and fight, and then harvesting him when he's fattened up.

Behind this generosity lies a confidence in one's absolute control.

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Chen calmly thought to himself, "It's still uncertain who will support whom."

He turned and went down the mountain path to find Elder Li to collect the resources for his trip.

Behind him, deep within the ancient hall, two pairs of eyes pierced through the darkness, watching his departing figure.

"Yet another person controlled by demonic forces."

An aged, hoarse voice rang out from the back hall.

"Letting him out this time will probably lead to more bloodshed."

The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice returned to its cold tone: "Ha, fine. The more bloodshed he commits, the more mixed the origins he devours, the heavier the demonic nature within him becomes."

Once the demonic forces completely overwhelm reason, it's time to reap the rewards.

The aged voice paused for a moment, as if weighing something, before slowly saying:

"However, this child's talent is indeed remarkable. He has broken into the Dao Palace, and the Five Elements and Five Qi have soared to the sky. Such a phenomenon is even beyond what Yao Guang of that time could achieve."

Unfortunately, it was born too late. If it had appeared earlier, it might have been able to compete with Yao Guang. Now, it can only become nourishment.

There can be no two suns in the sky, nor two masters among men. Moreover, our Ruthless lineage has always been led by those who cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art.

This child needs careful nurturing; only then can it develop into a truly great medicinal plant.

"Yes, we can harvest it before he loses control. There's no rush. We can wait until his holy son has grown up before we reap the rewards."

The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice carried the patience and indifference of an old farmer looking at crops.

Ye Chen naturally couldn't hear these words.

But he doesn't need to hear it...

He had long judged the way the Ruthless lineage operated; the so-called "inheritors of sacred skills" were nothing more than Gu worms raised in jars by the Ruthless lineage.

The Gu worms devour each other, and only the last one that survives is qualified to become the true inheritor.

Before that, all Gu worms were merely used as nourishment to cultivate the next generation of Gu worms.

Why are the descendants of the ruthless lineage so strong? Because if they weren't strong, they wouldn't survive.

Ye Chen descended from Dragon Head Peak.

Elder Li was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

The taciturn old man handed him the items, which were filled with source stones for cultivation, healing pills, and a map of the Eastern Wilderness region.

"The Peak Master gave instructions..."

Elder Li's voice was flat and emotionless.

"When traveling outside, do not reveal your identity as a disciple of the Holy Land. When killing, do not leave any survivors."

If pursued by a powerful enemy, crush this talisman, and the Holy Land will send reinforcements as quickly as possible.

Ye Chen accepted the storage bag and a palm-sized jade talisman, nodding his thanks.

He didn't ask any more questions or say anything more.

Every little favor the ruthless lineage bestowed upon him was meticulously recorded...

He would have to repay the principal and interest in the future, but he didn't care.

Because he has already gotten what he wanted.

The Demonic Arts Wheel Sea Chapter, the Dao Palace Chapter, and the Four Extremes Chapter, all inherited from the same lineage of imperial scriptures, are enough to support his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

As for the subsequent Dragon Transformation Arc and Sendai Arc, that's for later.

This is him now.

With sufficient resources, one can improve oneself, integrate more beings from all realms, and forge the Book of Reincarnation, which is still being nurtured, into a true vessel for enlightenment.

"Let's go to the world of 'A Mortal's Journey to Immortality' first and cultivate the Lung God to perfection..."

Ye Chen couldn't wait to bring his talent to the mortal world.

In the world of "Covering the Sky," everyone is meek and submissive, but in the mortal world, they strike with full force!

"Mortal world, welcome your king!"
