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

The old madman said nothing, but simply touched it with his hand and altered one or two of its array patterns, correcting them.

“So that’s what’s wrong here. No wonder I felt something was off,” the big black dog muttered.

"brush!"

With a flash of light, the group traversed the void and vanished from their spot, the array patterns they left behind disappearing without a trace.

Long after they left, two blurry figures rushed from the distant mountains. They stood there for a long time before letting out a cold laugh that sounded like it came from hell. All the birds and beasts in this mountain range died instantly, and the killing intent caused all the vegetation in the entire mountain range to wither.

Li Wangxian and his companions didn't know how many tens of thousands of miles they had traversed, from the central region of the Eastern Wilderness all the way to a place almost approaching the Northern Region.

The Sacred Cliff is located at the border of the Central Region and the Northern Region, a very special location. Almost no one ever comes here on weekdays, keeping their distance out of respect.

Because this is an ominous place. The Great Perfection Saint Body died here in his later years, his blood staining the withered cliff, which instilled fear in everyone.

It should be noted that this was an unparalleled being comparable to the great emperors of antiquity, yet it ended up with such an fate, becoming an eternal historical mystery.

Although the name Shengya sounds like a cliff, upon closer inspection, one discovers its immense grandeur; it is a majestic and imposing mountain range.

Its entire body is black, as black as ink, and the endless ancient trees on it cannot hide it. There are more than fifty great mountains standing together, creating a magnificent scene.

"Da Cheng's Supreme Holy Body is too powerful. It was forcibly cut off from the Undying Mountain and used as his place of seclusion," the big black dog exclaimed.

After lamenting the ruthlessness of time, the group did not hesitate and stepped straight into the Undying Mountain.

More than fifty black mountains stand side by side, towering like ancient demonic peaks, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Awoo..." A long howl of a lone wolf echoed through the black mountains, its mournful sound reverberating in the air.

“Your relatives frequent this place.” Li Heishui nudged the big black dog.

"Woof!" The big black dog bared its teeth and bit his wrist, refusing to let go.

"Damn it, I was just stating the truth, why are you getting so worked up? Let go!" Li Heishui screamed.

"Ah..."

Several old crows, exuding an aura of death, flapped their wings on a withered old tree outside the black cliff, emitting eerie cries filled with sorrow.

"Why do I feel this place is so ominous..." After Li Heishui slapped away Hei Huang's big mouth, he felt a chill on his neck.

Upon entering the Sacred Cliff, the group seemed to be given a rude awakening.

However, with the old madman, a saint, present, none of them hesitated and strode forward.

Chapter 162 Obtaining a Corner of the Beginningless Array Pattern

As they approached the black sacred cliff, the eerie atmosphere intensified, as if they had entered a graveyard, sending chills down their spines.

"Waaah..." A sudden, loud cry rang out, extremely mournful, and the sound carried for miles.

It was a strange, eerie bird with a body as black as a raven, a human face, and a bird's beak, black and curved like a knife.

"This place is fucking weird!" The big black dog shuddered and couldn't help but curse. "It's an ancient bird that was almost never seen in ancient times. It eats the bones of the strong. Legend has it that anyone who has been howled by it will not live long."

"Fluttering"

The strange bird spread its wings and flew away, dropping a human skull that had just been half-eaten from its beak; it looked rather grotesque.

"I have a bad feeling about this start; it's an ominous sign," Li Heishui muttered to himself.

"call!"

A fierce wind arose, and the old madman suddenly made his move, his wide sleeves sweeping across the heavens and earth, whipping away endless grass, trees, and rocks. A low roar echoed from afar, sending chills down one's spine.

Ye Fan and Li Heishui were shocked. A humanoid creature covered in long black hair, which was quite eerie, flashed and disappeared into the depths of the black sacred cliff.

"Damn, there really is something! What kind of creature is that?" the big black dog exclaimed in surprise.

Li Wangxian was also somewhat surprised and doubtful, even his Heavenly Eye couldn't see what it was.

At that moment, with the old madman's intervention, all the ominous sights vanished, the cries of the old crow and the lone wolf disappeared, and the black mountain returned to tranquility.

"Let's go in and take a look. We'll rely entirely on your array pattern skills later," Ye Fan said to the big black dog.

The group finally stepped into the Sacred Cliff. Ye Fan took out the ancient scroll he had obtained in the Northern Region of Lizhou and searched for the location marked with the Nine Secrets.

"It's the deepest part of the Sacred Cliff..."

The group huddled together to observe carefully, and then frowned simultaneously. The moment they stepped into the Sacred Cliff area, they could no longer fly; they were unable to leave the ground or leap into the void.

“There are array patterns here from ancient emperors, not carved by the Void Emperor, but set up by someone else…” A strange light flashed in the big black dog’s eyes.

Li Wangxian knew that this place was set up by the Great Emperor Wushi, which is why the big black dog was able to recognize it at a glance.

"Be careful. Even the Crimson Dragon Daoist was trapped in the deepest part for a full 1,500 years and was almost refined into ashes," Ye Fan warned.

"Don't worry, I'm absolutely confident this time. With my mastery of Dao patterns, I can move freely here as if it were empty!"

The big black dog said with absolute confidence, "Follow me."

"Crack!"

The big black dog took the lead and walked forward, but after taking only two steps, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the clear sky, causing it to foam at the mouth, stumble and fall to the ground, its body emitting black smoke.

"It hurts so much..." The big black dog lay there, its four large paws twitching uncontrollably, muttering, "Great Emperor... why did you even chop me up?"

"Serves you right, trying to act tough!" Li Wangxian was quite unkind, secretly laughing to himself, almost bursting out laughing.

Li Heishui chimed in from the side, which made Hei Huang very indignant.

"Woof, damn it!" The big black dog tried to bite him, but after struggling for a long time, it couldn't stand up. It was severely injured, and many of its bones were broken.

This sent a chill down their spines. The mysterious and terrifying Sacred Cliff was even more sinister than they had imagined. They had barely stepped inside when it nearly killed the Black Emperor, who had a profound understanding of Dao patterns.

"brush!"

At this moment, the old madman pointed his finger, and the big black dog was enveloped in a ball of light. In an instant, its bones cracked and popped, and its injuries healed rapidly.

"Boom! Crack!..."

After that, almost every dozen steps, the big black dog would let out a shrill howl, as if it had been struck by lightning repeatedly and had cramped up countless times.

During this time, the big black dog tried to persuade Li Heishui and Li Wangxian to come forward so he could give them directions, but the two ignored it.

Li Wangxian simply watched the big black dog perform quietly, while secretly pondering the array patterns of the Great Emperor Wushi.

However, without a clear diagram of the array pattern's evolution, even with Li Wangxian's extraordinary comprehension, he was still far from that level and couldn't comprehend anything at all.

Finally, after crossing towering black mountains and witnessing the eerie ancient corpse at the bottom of the lake, they obtained a strange silver scale and unlocked a source of divine energy.

But the deeper they went, the harder the big black dog was struck, and this couldn't go on.

In the end, the big black dog refused to move forward no matter what. It had broken so many bones that no one knew how many, but luckily the old madman helped it get them set.

"Don't you know the array patterns here? How come you were hit so badly?" Li Heishui said, standing there without a care in the world.

"Damn it, you try it. This is an array pattern set up by an ancient emperor. Even if you know how it evolves, you can't comprehend it. Whoever walks in front of it will be struck by lightning."

With each black mountain peak crossed, the power of the array intensifies tenfold. Given the black dog's strength, it can barely hold on now, but if it enters the next region, it will be reduced to ashes in a single blow.

"Show the senior any array patterns you know," Ye Fan reminded him.

The big black dog had been thinking about this for a while, and readily agreed, spreading a tattered ancient scroll on the ground for the old madman to examine.

Li Wangxian, standing nearby, also looked over. Even a corner of the Great Emperor's Array Pattern was an astonishing thing. Without sufficient good fortune, even a saint would find it difficult to obtain.

The old madman's empty eyes were filled with light, as if he had been revived. He sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the ancient scroll, motionless.

At this moment, Li Wangxian also opened his Heavenly Eye wide, with countless Dao symbols appearing and disappearing uncertainly within his eyes, flowing with mysterious energy. He stared at the ancient scroll and took the initiative to step into a state of enlightenment.

Ye Fan and the others did not disturb them, and waited quietly to the side. The big black dog muttered, "Don't underestimate this small corner. Even if the Holy Lords comprehended it for ten lifetimes, they would not understand it. Only a Saint can comprehend its mysteries. Even if Li boy has a congenital Dao embryo, he cannot do it!"

"Is that so..." Looking at Li Wangxian, whose third eye was wide open and who seemed like a genius, Ye Fan suddenly felt that the big black dog was probably going to be proven wrong this time.

One day, two days... The old madman and Li Wangxian actually comprehended the truth for a full nine days. They remained completely still, their eyes flashing with divine light, almost piercing through the void.

During this time, roars could be heard from the black mountains from time to time, and strange black winds howled past them several times.

"It's just a fragment of an array pattern left behind by an ancient emperor. Even a sage would need to study it for so long..." Li Heishui exclaimed in astonishment.

"The key is enlightenment. Many people will not gain anything even after countless lifetimes of contemplation, but those with great fortune can gain something in just a few months," said the big black dog.

"You mean we might have to wait months, or even years?"

"Although he is a saint of this era, this is still a killing formation left behind by the Great Emperor. At the very least, we will have to wait for some time. However, this is strange. Has young Li actually comprehended something?"

The big black dog nodded, then clicked its tongue, because Li Wangxian at this moment was clearly immersed in some kind of profound state of mind, rather than being in a state of deep thought because he couldn't understand the Emperor's array patterns.

"The Great Emperor Wushi truly possesses unparalleled skill; even a corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern is profound and unfathomable. Few people in the world can understand it; it requires careful study."

Li Wangxian couldn't help but sigh. The Boundless Array Pattern had the wonder of heaven and earth. Even though it was just a fragment, he seemed to see the profound meaning of the birth and death of all things in it. However, being able to see these things meant that Li Wangxian had also entered the gate.

At this moment, the old madman suddenly sighed, stood up, and stared blankly at the sky.

"Uncle, have you figured it out?" the little girl asked, looking up with her innocent face.

“Although I cannot see through it completely, I can now enter and exit.” The old madman pondered, then looked at Li Wangxian, who had also woken up by then.

"Have you seen through it?" the old madman asked.

"Entering and exiting should be unimpeded!" Li Wangxian nodded, and then walked ahead. There were no waves or waves along the way, and no heavenly lightning struck down. It was obvious that he had really comprehended a part of the profound meaning of this corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern.

"Woof, this is unbelievable!" the big black dog barked in disbelief, feeling like it had seen a ghost today.

Chapter 163 Quasi-Emperor in the World

Li Wangxian actually comprehended a corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern. Even though he had only just entered the realm, being able to move freely here was still incredibly terrifying. You must know that even an ancient saint like the Old Madman had only achieved this much!

In an instant, everyone was stunned by Li Wangxian's terrifying talent. Even the old madman couldn't remain calm, looking at Li Wangxian with deep and unfathomable eyes.

After all, this is an Emperor's array pattern. Even a corner of it requires a Saint-level being to comprehend it!

Li Wangxian was only a powerful figure at the second level of the Immortal Platform, yet he accomplished such a feat, and even the time he spent comprehending it was almost the same as that of the Old Madman. In this respect, he was truly comparable to a saint.

This shouldn't be surprising, right?

"Woof! This is truly heaven-defying! This is impossible! Only a saint should be able to comprehend a corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern!"

The big black dog was incredulous. He had been studying the array patterns for so many years without being able to grasp the basics of this place, yet someone had done it in such a short time.

This was a huge blow to the big black dog, and he was even a little incoherent when he spoke.

"You damn dog, let's see if you're still so smug..." Li Heishui sneered mercilessly.
