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

For Li Wangxian, regardless of the other party's motives, the fact that they had attacked him was an established fact, and there was no dispute about it. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to go and settle accounts with them.

"Although he suffered divine punishment, there has been no news of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets dying afterward. It seems he is still alive? Will he be able to foresee my arrival? I'm really looking forward to it!"

His expression shifted as he recalled the original text, which stated that each generation of the Heavenly Secret Elders possessed almost supernatural abilities before their deaths, allowing them to see the distant future and predict almost everything. So, could they have predicted this sudden calamity?

Taiyuan is located in the western part of Shenzhou. The secluded ancient sect, Tianji Sect, is located here and rarely seen in the world. Unexpectedly, this place is not particularly far from here. Without asking for directions, after flying tens of thousands of miles, Li Wangxian saw a barren land that had been struck by heavenly lightning and was devoid of life. He knew that they had approached their destination.

The two arrived at Taiyuan, which was originally a deep valley leading underground, almost devoid of sunlight. Some time ago, it was struck by a heaven-piercing tribulation light and should have been reduced to dust. However, it was protected by mysterious array patterns below and did not suffer a real destructive impact. After being refined and repaired by the Tianji Sect, this valley appeared even more profound.

Then, just as the two approached Taiyuan, a young Taoist boy ran over and said, "Gentlemen, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets invites you."

"Oh, so they actually predicted our arrival?"

Li Wangxian was astonished. He was no ordinary person; in some ways, the great secrets he was involved in were even more astonishing than those of emperors and immortals. The fact that he could calculate this was indeed beyond Li Wangxian's expectations.

"Did he figure out why I came here?" he asked coldly, showing no intention of leaving immediately.

The young Taoist priest looked sorrowful and said, "Our patriarch will pass away within three days. I am willing to defy the patriarch's teachings and risk everything to calculate what you most want to know, so as to settle the karmic debt with you."

"He originally had more than ten years left to live, but now he's about to pass away. Has he really been struck down by fate? In this situation, why is he still helping me to predict the secrets of heaven?"

Li Wangxian was shaken. He knew that the Heavenly Secret Elders of all ages would have spiritual connections at the end of their lives, almost like prophetic gods, and they could see many scenes of the future.

However, it cannot be revealed at this moment, otherwise it will surely bring great disaster to future generations. Revealing the secret will not only lead to one's own tragic death, but may also cause the Taoist sect to be interrupted.

"However, although that's what the original story says, didn't the Divine Calculator of the Big Dipper also help Ye Fan and the others predict a lot of heavenly secrets before the tribulation? Could it be that these two lineages of methods are different? Or is it that the original story sent those two siblings to the Heavenly Court, which meant that their path was already severed?"

He was filled with speculation, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Lead the way!"

With a quasi-emperor artifact in hand, even if a saint were lying in ambush below, they could still escape. Besides, he wasn't so reckless as to use his true form to enter a territory that someone who understood the secrets of heaven had cultivated for many years.

It has to be said that the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique is very useful. Although Jiang Bo has practiced for so long, he has only managed to transform into one pure one, but it is still usable. As for if there is a great battle that is not favorable to him, he will naturally activate the power of the quasi-emperor artifact to shatter the heavens and earth before the avatar dissipates and send it back to his original body. After all, with the power of the quasi-emperor artifact, as long as there is enough divine power, what place on Ziwei Star can trap him?

"Please follow me, you two laymen!" The young Taoist boy chanted the name of the Heavenly Venerable and performed a Taoist salute before taking the lead.

Below the Taiyuan Abyss, it is pitch black, but this is not a problem for cultivators. With a surge of divine power, turning the dark night into day is just a matter of a flick of the finger.

Before long, they descended to the bottom of Taiyuan. There, the Old Man of Heavenly Mystery, dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe, with temples as white as frost and beard and hair all white, had been sitting in a bright stone chamber illuminated by the divine light of the Great Dao for a long time, waiting.

Upon seeing the group arrive, he stood up and said, "Distinguished guests, I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar."

This was definitely an extraordinary person, with an ethereal air, untouched by worldly affairs, as if he did not belong to this mortal world. Li Wangxian and his companion had originally come to demand an explanation, but at this moment they were both surprisingly calm.

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets invited the two to sit down, recited a Taoist name, and said, "Should I address you as Layman Li, or as the Human Emperor?"

Upon meeting, the old man of the heavens asked this question, which surprised both Uncle Jiang and the young Taoist.

Only Li Wangxian remained unmoved. Didn't he know his own origins? Perhaps his transmigration was a different kind of reincarnation, but it was definitely not the reincarnation of the Human Emperor. Therefore, he simply said, "I am who I am, the Human Emperor is not me!"

"Does Layman Li not believe in reincarnation?" The old man's eyes were wise and bright, without dwelling on whether Li Wangxian's answer was true or not.

What difference does it make whether you believe or not?

Li Wangxian remained calm and composed. This question was of no significance to him at the moment. Besides, he had not come to ask the other party to predict the secrets of heaven.

"Indeed, the only thing that Heavenly Venerables and Great Emperors have ever sought since is to become immortals. How could people like you place your hopes on the next life? It is I who have been corrupted by demons. I still cannot see through this life and death."

The old man sighed. As he approached the moment of his passing, a person who appeared to be a successful reincarnation appeared before him. How could his mind be at peace?

Moreover, this person is suspected to be the reincarnation of a great emperor, destined to attain the position of the Heavenly Emperor in the future!

He sighed deeply, recalling the scene he had witnessed when he was calculating the other party's fate. He trembled all over, and in a daze, he saw a hazy phantom, like a Heavenly Emperor, standing on the Heavenly Heart Mark, above all paths.

Then, in that very instant, the being that seemed to be like the Heavenly Emperor noticed his spying. A ray of light shot out as if traversing endless time and space, transforming into a world-shaking calamity that cleaved down the Taiyuan region for tens of thousands of miles.

"A Heavenly Emperor in a cycle!" Looking at Li Wangxian before him, he sighed deeply, his body and soul trembling. If this matter were to spread, the entire universe would tremble. Even all the great emperors of the past would change color if they knew!

Chapter 92 The Calamity Begins

Is there really reincarnation? Or is it just a similar flower?

As the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets pondered, his eyes shone with unparalleled brilliance, as if he could see through the cycle of reincarnation. At the moment of his passing, his spiritual insight was at its peak, making him seem like a god or an immortal. There should be no secrets in this world before him, except for the person before him, whom he still could not see through.

"But no matter what, this is a future Heavenly Emperor! The karma our Heavenly Mystery Sect has created is far too great."

Thinking of the horrifying scene he had witnessed during the deduction, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Judging from the imposing aura that stood firmly on the heavens and commanded all paths, this was an existence even more powerful than the ancient emperors, and could be called the Heavenly Emperor.

Their Tianji Sect had been deliberately keeping a low profile for nearly two thousand years, almost never making prophecies or deducing heavenly secrets, almost leading the world to believe that they had lost their lineage. But unexpectedly, they still incurred the jealousy of the heavens, thus creating this enormous karmic debt.

Li Wangxian frowned slightly, sensing that the old man was up to no good. His expression turned cold, and he said, "I didn't come here to listen to your talk about reincarnation."

Upon hearing this, the old man of the Heavenly Secrets became serious. After waving his hand to signal the young Taoist boy to leave the stone chamber, he said with utmost sincerity, "I know the purpose of your visit, layman. I am willing to use all my Taoist power to deduce the secrets of heaven for you, layman, to apologize to you, and hope to gain your understanding and eliminate this karmic entanglement."

"I will use all my life's power to deduce this!" Li Wangxian exclaimed in surprise. Having said this much, it was clear that he was prepared to die, and he had even made preparations for the possibility that the Heavenly Mystery Sect might be implicated and suffer some minor divine retribution.

Since that's the case, he didn't mince words and asked, "How did you know I would come? And are you sure you're coming today?"

He still had some doubts about this, after all, it was impossible for someone to have foreseen it! Even Jiang Bo, because he was acting with him, would have most of the secrets of heaven concealed from him.

"When I was about to pass away, I had a premonition that a great calamity was about to befall me. Coupled with the huge karmic consequences of the past few days, I naturally thought that it would be you, layman, who would come to settle accounts. As for the time, I can only vaguely confirm that it will be within the next few days, but I cannot pinpoint the exact day. Therefore, I can only send my young disciple to wait by Taiyuan."

The old man's answer put Li Wangxian at ease. It wasn't as exaggerated as he thought. Otherwise, he would have to be more careful about the art of divination in the future.

"Can you calculate the exact location of Beihai Tanggu?" Li Wangxian suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the old man of the heavenly secrets looked bitter, but he still closed his eyes and began to deduce, knowing that this involved the secrets of the Great Emperor and the elixir of immortality!

"This is the Holy Emperor's method, which cannot be calculated now! But in twelve years, Tang Valley will naturally emerge!"

Then, his expression changed instantly, and he opened his mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of scarlet blood, soaking his Taoist robe.

"boom"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth. A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking down and piercing through the Taiyuan Abyss. The entire underground valley trembled violently, a truly terrifying sight.

Li Wangxian's expression shifted. It seemed that he could no longer hope to find the Sun Scripture in Tang Valley. In the original story, it was only after the Sun Emperor's divine power returned that thirty-six ancient cave dwellings appeared in the North Sea, each containing a map of Tang Valley. After combining the thirty-six maps, the people of various sects used celestial phenomena to deduce the location of Tang Valley, which took them half a month. One can imagine how difficult it was to find.

This is also why he never thought of going to the North Sea to find the Fusang Divine Tree. After all, the North Sea is much more vast than the land of Shenzhou, and there is no map. How could he find it? By relying on unreasonable cheat codes?

At this moment, his expression softened. He knew that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets had indeed done his best to predict that Tanggu would be born in twelve years.

"However, it's only twelve years, not ten? It seems that my influence caused Yin Tiande to emerge two years earlier and defeat the leaders of various sects?"

While thinking these things, he said with an unchanged expression, "Since Tanggu cannot calculate it for the time being, can you calculate where I can obtain the last two volumes of the Sun True Scripture?"

He didn't hide his intention to collect the Sun Scripture. After all, even if the Heavenly Mystery Elder was about to pass away, he knew he wouldn't tell anyone, given how desperately he wanted to settle his karmic debt with him.

Moreover, now that he has the strength to fight against the Sendai and the quasi-Emperor weapon, what can people do if they know about him on Ziwei Star?

"On the night of the full moon, by the Milky Way where stars fall!" the old man of heavenly secrets replied.

As soon as he said this, he coughed up several mouthfuls of bright red blood, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Normally, he could only give a rough estimate, but now he revealed many details about the future, which naturally revealed a secret. Fortunately, he was not killed on the spot.

"In the original story, he calculated that even the transaction location of the 'Zhe' character secret shouldn't have such an exaggerated backlash, right? Could it be because of my existence?"

Li Wangxian was slightly lost in thought; the secrets of heaven were truly quite interesting!

After regaining his senses, he looked at the half-dead old man and asked one last question: "Is it possible to calculate the coordinates of the Big Dipper?"

He will leave Ziwei sooner or later. There is a five-colored altar left by Laozi in the Eight Views Palace, but Laozi's legacy only left a coordinate leading to the ancient road to the starry sky. For some reason, the coordinates of the Big Dipper Star Region were not left as well.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Mystery Elder's expression shifted slightly before he said, "There's no need to calculate this anymore. Our Heavenly Mystery Sect has had a senior calculate it before and left the coordinates of the Burial Emperor Star."

"The Burial Star of Emperors! Do they want to find out why all the Great Emperors migrated to the Big Dipper? It seems that these fortune tellers, like the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets and the Divine Calculator, are all very curious!"

Li Wangxian gave the Heavenly Mystery Elder a deep look. These guys who could deduce heavenly secrets kept saying that they couldn't reveal heavenly secrets and that there were some forbidden secrets that couldn't be deduced, but when it came to actually doing it, their bodies were very obedient. Even knowing that they would be punished by heaven, they still couldn't help but pursue them.

Otherwise, why is it that throughout history, those who could deduce the secrets of heaven rarely met a good end? More often than not, it was because they broke their own vows.

"The karma between our lineage and the Heavenly Mystery Sect is completely severed today!"

Having obtained the BeiDou coordinates, Li Wangxian had nothing more to calculate. After saying these words, he took a step and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" The old man of heavenly secrets suddenly called out to the two of them.

"What is it?" Li Wangxian asked.

"I seem to see a calamity aura emanating from this fellow Daoist," the Heavenly Mystery Elder replied, looking at Jiang Bo.

"Hmm?" Li Wangxian frowned, stopped in his tracks, and watched the old man of heavenly secrets close his eyes and deduce.

"I saw it! Endless true fire of the sun scorched the sky, and flocks of golden crows covered the sky and sun, engulfing this fellow Daoist. Calamity has begun in the Fusang Divine Tree Kingdom!" The Heavenly Mystery Elder said, opening his eyes.

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 93

Yesterday, I asked the editor when the book would be available for purchase, and the editor said that the word count was sufficient, so it would be available on Friday, which is tomorrow at noon!

And so, the novice author hastily had his first book published.

So last night I stayed up all night to write an extra chapter, and today I've been brainstorming plot ideas whenever I have a spare moment, trying to save up enough for tomorrow's noon update...

Then, as usual, I'd like to first thank the editor, Penglai, for consistently getting recommended since the book was officially signed. And then, thank you to all the new and old readers who have supported me.

Unfortunately, when I started writing this book, it coincided with the Shanghai epidemic, and couriers couldn't get in. The contract was only signed online when I was almost 100,000 words in, so I felt quite lost at one point and even considered stopping. It was the support of some long-time readers through their votes and comments that kept me going, for which I am very grateful. I will always remember these readers because they still frequently vote for me, but because there are too many votes and I need to rush to finish writing, I won't list them all here. Sorry.

Of course, I can't forget the new readers. After being featured on the recommendation page, many new readers actively commented, voted, and gave me a lot of tips. I am very grateful for all of them and thank you for your love and support.

Then, on the day this book is released, there won't be any extra chapters for donations or anything like that. The author is clumsy and can't do that. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be three chapters tomorrow. If I'm in a good state, it's possible, maybe even four chapters. But they won't all be released at once. Two chapters at noon would be good enough, and the rest will be in the evening.

Let me also talk about my original intention in writing this book. At first, I wrote this book to practice my writing skills. I also had my own stories that I wanted to write, but I was not confident in my writing skills and did not dare to write them. So I planned to write a fanfiction to practice. I believe many readers have noticed that the author's writing style is somewhat inconsistent in terms of the quality of the chapters!

I do feel that my writing skills are a bit lacking, so I still need to practice.

Finally, I heard that the male readers who subscribe to this book are all more handsome than Daniel Wu, and the female readers are more beautiful than angels. I don't know if it's true.

One more thing, thank you to every reader who has supported me, whether you're on Qidian, QQ Reading, or any other online bookstore, I'm extremely grateful for your support!

Chapter 94 May Feature a Saint's Appearance

"The calamity begins, in the Kingdom of Fusang Divine Tree!" Li Wangxian enunciated each word clearly, his eyes filled with an unfathomable coldness. The Golden Crow clan was truly like a stubborn leech, utterly annoying!

"Is this calamity directed at me personally, or at the entire cult?"

When Jiang Bo heard the news that he was about to be robbed, he remained calm. He did not care about his life or death. Instead, his first thought was whether this calamity would involve the Sun God Cult.

"This is a vast battlefield, affecting many people," the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets replied.

“The Golden Crows are in flocks; they can’t possibly be targeting just one person.” Li Wangxian’s expression was cold; he knew that the other party must be after the Sun God Cult.

"They deduced my existence? Impossible. Apart from the current emperor, who could calculate my origins? Is it for the Sun Sutra?"
