Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Yao Xi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she felt a chill.

Luo Heng's guess was correct. A few days ago, she heard the news that the Holy Son of Yao Guang had changed hands, and she was naturally very shocked.

She immediately used her connections in the Holy Land, which she had cultivated over many years, to secretly investigate. She discovered that the former Holy Son had been murdered, and the murderer was none other than the new Holy Son himself.

Upon learning of this, she was naturally filled with surprise and suspicion, feeling that there were many strange things going on.

At the time, the situation was unclear, and she was not in a hurry to come and pay her respects to the new Holy Son. It wasn't until yesterday, when she heard that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang had brought Weiwei, that she became anxious.

The purpose of this visit is twofold: first, to cultivate a good relationship with this new Holy Son; and second, to probe the true intentions of the Holy Lord Yaoguang in bringing Weiwei here, and whether she harbors any ambition to replace her as Holy Maiden.

But upon arriving here, they discovered that this new holy son of Yaoguang Holy Land seemed to harbor inexplicable hostility towards them.

Could it be that she had offended him at some point? Yao Xi couldn't help but wonder to herself.

As for Luo Heng's previous statement that he challenged the Holy Son of Yao Guang for her sake, she didn't believe a word of it.

Just then, Hong Ling walked past Yao Xi carrying a roast chicken and placed it on Luo Heng's table.

Yao Xi frowned slightly, bothered by the smell of cooking oil. Looking at Luo Heng, who was about to feast, her frown deepened, and she couldn't help but say, "The first thing to do when embarking on cultivation is to sever ties with worldly riches and desires and cultivate a pure and desireless mind."

If the Holy Son cannot even abstain from the desires of the palate, he will likely find it difficult to overcome the many temptations on the path of cultivation. It would be best for the Holy Son to eat less of this vulgar meat.

Luo Heng, who was about to enjoy his meal, lost all interest after hearing Yao Xi's words.

He looked up and sized Yao Xi up and down, while Yao Xi returned his gaze without backing down.

Luo Heng's lips slowly curled up. He reached into his sleeve and rummaged around for a moment before taking out a small cauldron and placing it on the table.

Yao Xi was initially puzzled, then her eyes widened, and finally her body trembled slightly.

"Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron!" Yao Xi uttered these five words with difficulty.

After confirming that what was in front of her was indeed the Black Gold Cauldron with Dragon Pattern, Yao Xi took a deep breath, bowed to Luo Heng, and said, "Holy Son Luo Heng, it was Yao Xi who was impolite. I hope the Holy Son will be magnanimous."

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng laughed and said, "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

Although Yao Xi didn't know what "police" meant, she could tell that Luo Heng wasn't going to let the matter rest easily. She gritted her teeth and spoke again, "I wonder how the Holy Son intends to punish you? Please speak frankly."

Luo Heng's gaze lingered on her for a while longer. Yao Xi, standing before him, had her chin slightly raised, her eyes showing a hint of fear, but more so pride, her refined features radiating self-control.

Looking at her upright posture, she really resembled a spirited and proud little hen.

Thinking of this, Luo Heng suddenly smiled and said, "Beating you up would make me seem petty. How about this? You just said my chicken is 'common meat,' so you should apologize to this chicken."

Yao Xi felt somewhat humiliated upon hearing this, but she still breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly walked to Luo Heng's table and softly said "I'm sorry" to the roast chicken on the table.

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng looked surprised and said, "It's a chicken. How can it understand you if you speak human language to it? You have to speak chicken language to it."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xi first showed surprise, then seemed to realize something, her originally fair face instantly turned even paler, and then gradually flushed red.

"Luo Heng, don't go too far," Yao Xi said through gritted teeth.

"That's too much! Fine! Then I'll discuss it with the Holy Lord, and from now on, Weiwei will be the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xi clenched her two small, white hands into fists. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and trembled slightly all over.

Then, her beautiful eyes slowly closed, and her pink, petal-like lips parted slightly.

"Giggle giggle!"

Feeling deeply humiliated, Yao Xi slowly opened her eyes, only to be surprised to find that Luo Heng was holding a rectangular object in his hand, pointing it at her.

Yao Xi sensed something was amiss and forced a smile, asking, "Holy Son, what are you holding in your hand?"

What Luo Heng was holding at that moment was naturally the cell phone he had brought from his home planet on Earth.

Previously, he had entrusted it to Wei Yi on a whim, hoping that the sage could see if it could be repaired.

Wei Yi took it, examined it for a moment, and a glint seemed to appear in his eyes—the next second, the phone turned into a handful of dust in his hand.

Luo Heng stared in disbelief, and before he could utter a single word, the swirling dust seemed to rewind time, gathering back along its original path and instantly reforming into a mobile phone in Wei Yi's palm, even the cracks on the screen disappearing without a trace.

Only then did Luo Heng utter the word "cause".

He took the phone, dumbfounded, and tried pressing the power button—the screen actually lit up. This scene made Luo Heng feel as if he had witnessed a miracle.

According to Wei Yi, although the internal structure of this small object was extremely intricate and complex, with his divine sense at the level of a sage, he could even clearly discern the basic particles flowing within it.

What he did was simply disassemble it down to the particle level, reconstruct it in its original form, and incidentally fill in the broken and missing parts.

After hearing these words, only one thought surged in Luo Heng's mind: Is this control at the atomic level or recombination at the molecular level?

This incident also made him truly realize once again the unfathomable depth of the realm of a sage—at this level, one truly understands one principle and comprehends all principles.

The most advanced creations of Earth's technology are nothing more than lines on the palm of their hands, clearly visible and easily replicated.

At this moment, Luo Heng skillfully opened the video he had just recorded, turned it towards Yao Xi, and explained, "Saintess Yaoji, this is a specialty of our hometown, similar to the photo stones here."

See, isn't it very clear?

Yao Xi had no time to correct Luo Heng's "grammatical errors." Looking at her reflection in the rectangular crystal screen, she felt ashamed beyond measure.

In the video, she has her eyes slightly closed, her face is flushed, and her small mouth slowly opens, making a "giggle" sound.

In an instant, Yao Xi felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. At that moment, she even had the urge to fight the person in front of her to the death.

But in the end, she suppressed her anger, looked at Luo Heng with a face full of humiliation, and asked, "Holy Son, can this photograph be destroyed?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Well... next time for sure, next time for sure."

Sensing the obvious perfunctoriness in his words, Yao Xi frowned slightly, opening her mouth as if to ask further questions.

Just then, a jade talisman hanging at Luo Heng's waist suddenly trembled slightly without warning, emitting specks of spiritual light, silently cutting off their conversation.

Luo Heng glanced at the jade talisman, his smile vanished, and he ignored Yao Xi.

He turned and stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to a wooden house next to the courtyard, "Senior Wei Yi, we should set off to Yao Guang to meet Gai Jiuyou, the invincible ruler of Zhongzhou who has lived for eight thousand years."

After a moment, the door creaked open, and Wei Yi stepped out of the room and stood beside Luo Heng.

Wei Yi then reached out and tossed out a piece of black jade platform, and the two of them stood on it one after the other.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xi quickly stood up and also stood on the jade platform, and Luo Heng did not stop her.

With a flash of white light, the group vanished instantly.
