Covering the Sky: I am Donghuang Taiyi

He landed instinctively, scanning the area with his divine sense.

Soon they arrived at a rather luxurious mausoleum surrounded by carved bluestone bricks.

The tombstone is clearly engraved with "Tomb of my late father Jiang Zhe", with the smaller characters "Erected by Jiang Haisheng" next to it, indicating that it has been there for quite some time.

"Jiang Zhe? It really is him..."

Taiyi suddenly realized.

Jiang Haisheng is the grandfather of Jiang Tingting, who has the Taiyin constitution.

The family was originally a well-known wealthy family in the town, and even ran a restaurant and other businesses.

Later, after the parents of Jiang Tingting, who possessed the Taiyin constitution, encountered trouble, the Jiang family's assets were seized by the Li family, with whom they had a past grudge, and the family gradually declined.

However, given the Jiang family's past wealth, it was quite unusual for them to build such a relatively luxurious mausoleum for their father.

That's not surprising.

None of that matters. The most important thing is...

He discovered that the tomb, which was at least several decades old, contained a body that had not decomposed.

"The ancient Jiang family?"

Taiyi's eyes flickered.

The grandfather and grandson from the Jiang family are quite influential.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Zhe was a powerful and unfathomable expert in his previous life.

However, it is estimated that it suffered some serious injury, and its internal power may have been completely destroyed, leaving it like an ordinary person.

Otherwise, the sheer killing intent emanating from a corpse would be unbearable for an ordinary person, let alone burying it.

But a great being is still a great being. Even if all its divinity has been erased, its body will not decompose so easily in the short time after death.

"Was it really true that a renowned and powerful figure, the one from the ancient Jiang family who had a conflict with the family head's lineage, left the family, and lived in seclusion here for decades without leaving anything to his descendants after his death?"

Taiyi realized Jiang Zhe's identity.

Not only was he born into the ancient Jiang family, but he was also the elder brother of Jiang Yi, the ninth great bandit, and was once an unfathomable powerhouse.

This gave him some ideas.

"excuse me!"

There was no one around.

Taiyi casually set up array patterns to block any detection.

Ignoring the eerie surroundings, he bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhe's grave.

Instead of destroying the tomb directly, he drilled a hole from the side and easily reached the bottom of the tomb, where he opened the somewhat putrid coffin.

I don't know if he suffered some unimaginable trauma, but it seems that some terrible Dao patterns remained in his body like maggots clinging to bones, extinguishing all his vitality.

Although the body of this powerful being had not decayed for many years after its death, it was just like an ordinary person and did not exude any kind of pressure.

Taiyi carefully explored the five secret realms within his body but found nothing.

Ultimately, however, they discovered the anomaly directly on the jade thumb ring worn on his right thumb.

This is no ordinary thumb ring; although its luster is understated and unremarkable.

But it is very likely a powerful magical artifact.

"A storage ring?"

Taiyi's pupils contracted sharply.

He took off the ring, peered inside, and stared blankly into it.

"Hiss..." The interior space was dazzling, with pure source alone weighing no less than three or four hundred thousand catties.

Although there are no other treasures, no magical artifacts or rare gems, there is a complete ancient scripture.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the renowned and long-standing "Hengyu Jing" of the ancient Jiang family, but rather an ancient scripture of sages, which recorded many astonishing secret techniques.

Clearly, it was intentionally left for future generations.

But it is also evident that he harbored resentment and lingering grudges until his death.

They absolutely did not want their descendants to have any further connection with the Jiang family.

Among these remaining treasures, there is absolutely no item related to the Jiang family.

It's even possible that he obtained this ancient scripture by chance in the past, and that it had nothing to do with the Jiang family.

"Sure enough, even on his deathbed, he was still troubled by the past grievances and somewhat reluctant to let his descendants embark on the path of cultivation, but he still hesitated..."

He was clutching that thumb ring.

Taiyi couldn't help but sigh, "That's why I deliberately left these behind for my descendants!"

"Unfortunately, his son Jiang Haisheng did not notice anything unusual, let alone suddenly dig up his father's grave to examine the body... However, in principle, this jade thumb ring should have been left to his descendants!"

Of course he didn't know.

This was Jiang Zhe's favorite thumb ring, which he originally left to his son, Jiang Haisheng.

However, Jiang Haisheng was too filial. Thinking that his father had nothing left after his death, and that this thumb ring was something his father used to play with, he specially put it back on his father's body as a burial item.

otherwise.

Regardless of whether Jiang Haisheng can discover the anomaly, he embarks on the path of cultivation with this ring.

Just considering Jiang Haisheng's exceptionally talented son and daughter-in-law, after they directly entered the Yanxia Cave Heaven and embarked on the path of cultivation...

If one discovers that this ring is extraordinary, one can likely rise rapidly by relying on the resources and ancient scriptures within, and may not be ambushed or suffer misfortune.

It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people, and it is destiny that has brought us together.

He was naturally somewhat disappointed at not being able to obtain the "Eternal Universe Scripture".

To be honest, the treasures inside this ring alone are extraordinary enough.

Moreover, he obtained a complete ancient scripture of sages. Although it was only a sage-level inheritance, it was undoubtedly quite amazing.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, he quietly left the tomb and cleaned up the traces.

"What a pleasant surprise...the harvest is enormous!"

Taiyi was playing with this jade thumb ring.

He couldn't help but smile with excitement.

It started as a whim, a desire to give it a try.

I didn't have high hopes, but I never expected to actually make a profit.

He put the jade ring into the Sea of ​​Bitterness and, without any intention of stopping, ran straight into the distance.

The pure energy within this ring, along with what Danyangzi left him before his death, amounts to over a million catties, which should be enough for him to directly cultivate to the fifth level of the Dao Palace.

This is undoubtedly a great thing, at least we don't have to rush to risk going to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

……

Chapter 16 Ascending to the Misty Clouds, Lin Jia?

The State of Yan was vast.

It stretches two thousand li from north to south and three thousand li from east to west.

Such a vast territory is but a drop in the ocean in the boundless eastern wilderness, and there are countless countries like it.

The six great blessed lands within the Yan Kingdom were almost all built around this primitive area of ​​the desolate ancient forbidden land.

"This is the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven!"

Not long after, Taiyi arrived at Yanxia Cave.

Ahead, the peaks are verdant and the valleys are shrouded in mist, with glimpses of rosy clouds, truly living up to its name.

"Who goes there?" The disciples guarding the mountain gate, seeing a group of people descending from the sky, did not dare to underestimate them and stepped forward to inquire.

"Please inform your sect leader that a descendant of the reclusive lineage of the Yao Guang Holy Land has come to visit!"

Tai Yi remained calm and spoke softly.

His skill was so great that he was daring and unafraid that killing the cultivators from Yanxia Cave Heaven might cause him any big trouble.

"what?"

"The Sacred Land of Yao Guang?"

Although the situation of the reclusive lineage is unclear.

However, Yanxia Cave Heaven was merely a blessed land attached to the Yao Guang Holy Land, a colossal entity that transcended the world and dominated the Southern Region.

Looking at the excessively young and exceptionally handsome youth, one could see that his sleeves indeed bore the insignia of the Holy Land of Yao Guang.

"Please wait a moment, we will report to the sect leader immediately!" The disciples guarding the mountain gate dared not delay and were filled with awe.

They hurriedly made arrangements, and someone immediately ran to report.

……

"Clang, clang..."

soon.

Within the misty, ethereal cave, the sound of bells echoed.

The bell, which only rings for important events, rang three times in a row.

This alarmed many elders and core disciples who were in seclusion.

An elderly man with an air of otherworldly grace, wearing a Taoist robe and with white hair and a youthful face, who was suspected to be the leader of the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven, led a group of elders whose cultivation levels were mostly at the Divine Bridge Realm, to greet them from inside.

"I am Qingyang, the head of the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven. I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I hope you will forgive me..."

The Sect Leader of Yanxia looked at Taiyi, who was leading the group and did not make any attempt to conceal his strength.

While somewhat surprised, he still politely stepped forward and asked, "Young master, you are so young yet you have already cultivated to the Other Shore Realm. You are truly gifted... May I ask your name, and which elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land you are a disciple of?"

"I apologize for coming uninvited..."
