Covering the Sky: My path to becoming an emperor is invincible, thanks to my fellow cultivation of Y

Legend has it that there are two versions of the Tao Te Ching. One is the one we see today, which is passed down to the world for ordinary people to read. The other is not revealed to the world, and was only seen by Yin Xi when Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west.

Li Wangxian understood that the other part of the Tao Te Ching was about the methods of cultivation, which included the method of refining and breathing techniques, as well as the supreme secret technique of transforming one breath into three pure ones.

The Eight Views Palace is covered with inscriptions. The outside is the upper and lower parts of the Tao Te Ching. Most of the secret techniques, such as cultivation methods and the transformation of Qi into the Three Pure Ones, are still inside. After all, Yin Tiande has not yet received the inheritance of this place!

Without hesitation, he stepped into the protective array that had opened up to him. Immediately, he was enveloped in a misty aura, feeling as if he were bathed in immortal energy, and his whole body felt comfortable. This was a treasure palace, where cultivation was several times faster than in other places.

Inside the Purple Palace, there was nothing but a stone platform and a purple-gold Bagua furnace. It was very quiet, and although it was spotless, it looked as if no one had been there for a long time.

"Using a sacred weapon as a furnace for alchemy, how incredibly bold of me!"

Li Wangxian clicked his tongue in amazement, recognizing the aura of a sacred weapon on the Eight Trigrams Furnace. He secretly sighed, "As expected of a quasi-emperor, his scale is truly grand."

"Click"

After taking away the Bagua Furnace, he approached the stone platform, where a pottery jar, a gleaming Vajra Bracelet, and a purple-gold gourd were placed.

"This pottery jar must be the one that sealed away one of Lao Tzu's incarnations as the Great Perfection King-level Bull God!"

As for the Vajra Bracelet, he recognized it as a king-level replica made of the Nine Heavens White Jade Wall.

"But this purple-gold gourd is crystal clear and has an extraordinary aura. Could it be the quasi-emperor artifact that Yin Tiande later had destroyed when he was defeated by Ye Fan, who was at the quasi-emperor level?"

Upon realizing this, Li Wangxian was startled. If it were true, it would be the greatest surprise ever! For him, it would be even more important than the Tao Te Ching.

"I've struck gold! It really is a quasi-Emperor artifact!" Li Wangxian was overjoyed. As soon as he activated his divine power, a heaven-devouring might arose in the gourd. In an instant, he understood that this was indeed a supreme quasi-Emperor artifact.

Chapter 87 The Bible of Alchemy

(The Sacred Weapon Eight Trigrams Furnace was added in the previous chapter; the reason is explained in the author's notes on the previous page.)

The purple-gold gourd was crystal clear and vibrant, not very large, and looked exquisite. However, with just a slight activation of Li Wangxian's divine power, wisps of quasi-emperor aura flowed out, possessing an overwhelming divine might that could devour the heavens and destroy the earth, which was extremely terrifying.

He was overjoyed, playing with the quasi-emperor weapon in his hand with great affection, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

"We've really struck it rich! We thought we'd have to wait for the divine spirit of our Holy Emperor ancestor to return from the stars before we could get a supreme weapon like an Imperial Artifact."

I never expected Lao Tzu to be so generous and magnanimous, actually leaving a quasi-Emperor artifact to his successor! Is this the true meaning of tranquility and non-action? I love it!

Li Wangxian couldn't stop smiling. This was a huge gain he hadn't expected. In his opinion, even if Laozi hadn't passed away yet and left behind the legacy of the Taiqing Sacred Realm, he shouldn't have left behind such a precious divine weapon as a Quasi-Emperor artifact. Instead, he should have left behind a Sacred Weapon to protect the Dao. He never expected that Laozi would slap him in the face so hard.

Of course, that was a good slap in the face!

Li Wangxian smiled as he explored the stone platform. There were precious scriptures inside, and if he wasn't mistaken, they were in this stone bookcase. When he opened it, his expression brightened again. Sure enough, there was a scripture inside, with the three characters "Tao Te Ching" inscribed on it.

"This is truly incredible! Lao Tzu's supreme scripture contains various secret techniques such as the One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones, and it is the original text of the Tao Te Ching."

He quickly moved closer, somewhat excited. Having obtained a quasi-emperor artifact and this supreme treasure scripture, this trip was truly worthwhile.

This is a stone scripture, very thick and heavy, bearing the vicissitudes of history. Through the three characters "Tao Te Ching" on the surface, a picture is conveyed: an old man riding an ox westward, with purple clouds stretching for 30,000 miles, passing through a place called Hangu Pass, and then condensing into a scripture.

"This is the second half of the cultivation process!"

Li Wangxian's expression shifted slightly. He eagerly flipped through the book and immediately confirmed that it was Laozi's supreme scripture. In addition to the scripture for cultivation, it also contained various supreme secret techniques such as the Purple Qi Coming from the East Divine Technique, the Taiqing One Qi Hunyuan Slash, the Heavenly Venerable Treasure Seal, and One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

"Wow, my attack magic and array patterns will be plentiful soon! This is an amazing surprise!"

This was the first time Li Wangxian had received such a complete Emperor-level inheritance. It included not only the complete cultivation scriptures, but also various divine techniques, weapon-refining secrets, and quasi-Emperor formations—it had everything. It was far better than before.

"And besides, I'm also a master alchemist!"

He was excited and rummaged through the bookshelf and found a classic book on alchemy. Upon closer inspection, he found it filled with all sorts of precious pill formulas. There were holy medicines for healing injuries, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone, such as the Taiqing Jade Liquid Lesser Rejuvenation Pill and the Greater Rejuvenation Pill. There were also precious pills that could help people comprehend the Dao and increase their cultivation, such as the Qiankun One Qi Hunyuan Pill and the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill. Even more astonishingly, he saw the formula for the legendary Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

"This is a divine-level pill formula that can extend an emperor's lifespan by two thousand years at the peak of his imperial status, and I actually have it?"

Li Wangxian was somewhat surprised, but thinking that Laozi was the Moral Celestial Venerable, one of the Nine Great Celestial Venerables in his previous life, he wasn't too surprised. It wasn't too unexpected that this master could have this. Moreover, the most precious thing about the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was not the elixir formula, but the various divine medicines needed to refine the elixir. The main ingredient alone required the use of the Immortal Divine Medicine, not to mention the various amazing auxiliary medicines.

Even for a single emperor, it would take a long time to collect all the necessary items, and with bad luck, one might not even be able to collect them all.

"With this alchemy bible, it would be difficult for the Sun God Cult not to prosper."

Upon thinking of this, Li Wangxian couldn't help but burst into laughter, but he quickly came to his senses and remembered that Uncle Jiang was still outside!

"Hmm, we need to find a way to control this formation first."

He put down the alchemical scriptures and picked up the Tao Te Ching.

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and through the interaction of these two forces, harmony is achieved..."

The opening line is such a general principle of the Great Dao. Indeed, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching should be derived from the Tao Ching of his previous incarnation, the Heavenly Venerable of Morality.

Li Wangxian, after briefly glancing at the Tao Te Ching, made this judgment: although it is not a Taoist scripture, as a newly born primordial spirit on the body of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, Lao Tzu could not sever certain profound meanings of the scripture.

The Daoist scripture is known as the strongest in the Wheel Sea Realm, even more profound than the imperial scriptures of the various emperors. The Wheel Sea Realm places great emphasis on the secrets of Yin and Yang, and this scripture has a special explanation of Yin and Yang. This is undoubtedly a huge benefit and supplement to Li Wangxian's cultivation of Yin and Yang.

"Let's bring Jiang Bo in first, and then I'll study these scriptures and divine arts more carefully!"

Li Wangxian was not in a hurry. Even if he only practiced the basics of the scriptures, let alone comprehended their profound meaning, it would take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, he first found the place in the scriptures where the array patterns were recorded, carefully read through them, and after several attempts, he finally mastered the method to open the Eight Views Palace and the Xuandu Cave outside.

"Buzz!"

Countless divine runes appeared, the gates of the Eight Views Palace's small world opened wide, and he appeared in the Pure Land of Xuandu Cave. Then, he formed a divine seal with his hands and opened a passage in the great formation of Xuandu Cave.

"Hey!"

In the distance, Jiang Bo was overjoyed and instantly flew in along the passage.

"Divine Child, how is the inheritance here?" Uncle Jiang asked happily.

"The legacy left by a supreme quasi-emperor is profound and unfathomable, beyond words," Li Wangxian replied with a joyful expression.

"What? It's actually the inheritance of a Quasi-Emperor?" Jiang Bo was overjoyed. He knew that a Quasi-Emperor was already the strongest in the universe, capable of ruling over boundless star fields. Without the Great Emperor, who could compete with them? The inheritance left by such an existence was almost as powerful as the inheritance of a Great Emperor for the people of Ziwei Star!

"The divine child possesses extraordinary talent and unparalleled fortune. He first obtained the Human Emperor Immortal Scripture, and then the inheritance of a Quasi-Emperor. He is destined to attain the Dao and become invincible in the world!"

Jiang Bo was so happy that he started praising and flattering her loudly, to the point that even Li Wangxian was a little surprised.

"This isn't your persona, you're stealing Old Man Chen's thunder!"

He silently scoffed to himself, but then a smile appeared on his face. After all, what was wrong with an old man telling the truth?

After a while, the joyful atmosphere gradually subsided. Coming back to his senses, Li Wangxian looked at the naturally beautiful Xuandu Cave and, with a thought in mind, said to Uncle Jiang, "This Xuandu Cave is a sacred and beautiful place, with all kinds of precious medicines, as well as spiritual birds and fierce beasts. Uncle Jiang, take your sacred weapon and go and take stock of and deal with it!"

He pointed and transmitted the hand seals for controlling the formation, then handed the sacred weapon jade plate to Uncle Jiang, and after Uncle Jiang nodded and left.

Li Wangxian then planned to return to the Eight Views Palace, where there were still supreme quasi-emperor scriptures, alchemy classics, and the unparalleled divine technique One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones waiting for him to comprehend and cultivate!

Chapter 88 One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things..."

Inside the Eight Views Palace, Li Wangxian sat cross-legged, reciting the first five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching while pondering the cultivation methods of the second half.

"Although the first half does not discuss the methods of cultivation, if one studies the second half as a general outline, one will attain a rare state of enlightenment!"

Awakening from a day and night of immersion in the Daoist realm, Li Wangxian murmured to himself that he truly possessed a rare Daoist nature in cultivation. Although it was his first time reading the Dao De Jing, he did so subconsciously, and the results were gratifying. On his very first attempt, he had vaguely grasped some essential principles. He felt that his cultivation, which had only advanced to the fourth stage of the Dragon Transformation a few days ago, was about to break through again. His talent was astonishingly extraordinary.

"Hmm, I got too engrossed in my cultivation. Uncle Jiang should have cleaned up the Pure Land of Xuandu Cave by now!"

Thinking of this, Li Wangxian did not rush to cultivate the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Technique that he had been eyeing for so long. Instead, after leaving the Eight Views Palace, he found Uncle Jiang in the Xuandu Cave and invited him into the small void world of the Eight Views Palace.

"Divine Child, the Xuandu Cave is teeming with all sorts of thousand-year-old precious herbs, and there's even a small medicinal king that's over ten thousand years old, its value is astonishing." Upon meeting, Uncle Jiang exclaimed with great delight.

"In the secret realm that Lao Tzu opened up two thousand years ago, there was actually a ten-thousand-year-old minor medicinal herb king. It was originally eight thousand years old, and it has only gradually grown into a minor medicinal herb king in recent years."

Or was there originally a thousand-year-old miniature medicinal herb here, and I just didn't take it?

Li Wangxian had some guesses in his mind, but that wasn't the point, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he asked, "Are there any ferocious beasts or old demons in this Xuandu Cave that can rival the level of a sect leader?"

He recalled that in the original story, Yin Tiande had two children who were actually snake spirits transformed over the years. That was why he sent Uncle Jiang with the sacred weapon to prevent any accidents.

"No! Although this is a spiritual land for cultivation, and some cultivation methods are inscribed on some of the mountain peaks, the strongest ones are only two little demons that have just evolved into dragons."

Jiang Bo shook his head, somewhat understanding why Li Wangxian had specifically given him the sacred weapon for self-defense; it turned out it was to protect him from this.

"It seems that Yin Tiande subdued those two snake spirits elsewhere. However, with such a good cultivation environment here and no danger to his life, he can cultivate in peace. The strongest one is actually a demon at the Dragon Transformation Realm?"

Thinking of this, Li Wangxian shook his head. Perhaps it was because he was too comfortable and had no pressure to survive that he didn't care about cultivation at all!

Without much thought, after bringing Jiang Bo over, Li Wangxian was already eager to cultivate the supreme divine technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

This is a secret technique that Li Wangxian greatly admires. It allows one to create three additional selves, rather than simply creating an avatar. It has profound and mysterious uses.

This is a supreme divine technique that can instantly boost combat power and create three Dao selves identical to the true body. These Dao selves can instantly turn the tide of battle when they participate in a great war. This is also one of the few wonderful methods that can increase combat power in the Eight Forbidden Domains. In a sense, it is even more amazing than many forbidden secret techniques of the Great Emperors.

"Buzz!"

As Li Wangxian wholeheartedly comprehended this supreme divine technique, clouds and mist surged within the Eight Views Palace, and the purple celestial palace resembled an immortal divine hall, exuding an aura of the Great Dao that inspired deep awe.

In a daze, Li Wangxian heard the sound of chanting resounding. He sat motionless in the Eight Views Palace, and with the secret book in his hand, he seemed to hear the ancient Dao sound, as if a god was preaching and expounding the Great Dao. In an instant, he merged with the Dao and fell into a state of oneness with heaven and man.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

He truly heard the ancient voice preaching, which traveled across time and space to reach him. An old man sat cross-legged on a stone platform, preaching the Imperial Scripture.

Li Wangxian instantly entered the Dao, his gaze fixed on the blurry and hazy figure, an ancient Daoist being writing a book.

That Dao body was surrounded by traces of Dao, the trajectory of some kind of Great Dao. Combining this with his comprehension of the supreme scriptures in his hands, he was deeply moved.

For a day and a night, Li Wangxian remained motionless until he opened his eyes the next day. Jiang Bo was startled because he saw three auspicious clouds above Li Wangxian's head, followed by three beams of immortal light shooting out from his crown, constantly changing shape and evolving into the human body.

"chi"

Three beams of celestial light merged with auspicious clouds, transforming into three Taoist figures, each identical to Li Wangxian.

Lao Tzu transformed into the Three Pure Ones from one breath!

"What kind of secret technique is this, Divine Child?" Jiang Bo was shocked. What kind of divine technique was this? He felt that the three Li Wangxians were almost indistinguishable from real people. They were not simple Taoist deities or ordinary incarnations.

Li Wangxian pointed his finger, and a beam of divine light shot out, transmitting the secret technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

"This, how could the divine son pass on such divine arts to an old servant!"

Upon slightly comprehending the message and understanding the mystery, Jiang Bo's expression changed drastically. He was both incredibly shocked and terrified that Li Wangxian had actually passed on this supreme divine technique to him.

"It's alright!"

Li Wangxian shook his head. He had never regarded the many elders in the Sun God Sect as outsiders, but rather as family members in his heart, let alone old servants.

However, no one could dissuade Jiang Bo from calling himself that, so they let him do so. In fact, neither Li's father nor mother took the old servant's claim seriously.

“But, Divine Child…” Uncle Jiang wanted to say more, but when he saw Li Wangxian’s gentle yet firm eyes, his heart warmed and he could no longer continue.

"That's right!"
