Covering the Sky: I am Donghuang Taiyi

Only by passing through the Immortal Gate can one enter the Tai Xuan Sect and choose one of the 108 main peaks. As long as one passes the test of these main peaks, one can become a disciple of that main peak.

People were constantly being ejected from the immortal gate, unable to enter.

Of those fortunate enough to survive this ordeal, only one in ten will make it through.

Even if you manage to get through, it's only the first hurdle. Only a very small number of people will actually pass the tests of each main peak and remain.

After a complete makeover, Taiyi, who had previously appeared unremarkable, unleashed a wisp of divine power from the Sea of ​​Bitterness and successfully passed the trials of the immortal sect.

He inquired around and, amidst the strange gazes of the disciples, went straight to the most inconspicuous, yet also the most conspicuous, peak.

Zhuofeng, as its name suggests, has no magnificent scenery, no majestic presence, no spiritual essence, and nothing extraordinary about it.

It was ordinary, almost desolate, like a wilderness, with withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk, the blood-red sunset casting a somber atmosphere, not at all like the main peak of the immortal sect.

On Zhuofeng Peak, broken walls and ruins lie endlessly, overgrown with weeds and covered with thorns, and even the mountain path is gone.

"Young friend, do you really want to join my Humble Peak?"

An elderly man with an ordinary face and a thin body asked in surprise.

His name is Li Ruoyu. He is the only disciple of Zhuofeng now. Strictly speaking, although he has not been officially appointed as the peak master, he is the true person in charge of this main peak.

“Of course…” Tai nodded, bowed, and said earnestly, “I have heard that Zhuofeng has the Nine Secrets of inheritance. I aspire to this, and I beg you, senior, to grant my request!”

He knew perfectly well that the old man in front of him, who seemed ordinary and without much strength, was actually wise but unassuming and kept his true abilities hidden.

Although he is not yet a great being, he has already grasped the essence of the Way of Nature and embarked on a unique path. Sooner or later, he will soar to great heights.

"You have ambition, but the Zhuofeng lineage has been lost for a long time. I hope you can gain something from this and not waste your time!" The old man nodded.

However, there was no test, nor was Taiyi allowed to climb the nine-step jade ladder to test his qualifications. Instead, they directly agreed to let this young man join Zhuofeng.

Zhuofeng has been in decline for a long time.

In the past, it wasn't that no young disciples had chosen to join Zhuofeng for the sake of the Nine Secrets.

But most of them wasted their time and gained nothing; not a single one was able to persevere.

Most of them gradually left Zhuofeng and chose to join other main peaks.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

He joined Zhuofeng so easily.

Taiyi was not surprised, nor did he seek trouble by requesting to be tested for qualifications.

For the next two weeks, he was like a rogue cultivator who had stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance and whose strength was low.

Aside from sitting cross-legged there, closing his eyes to meditate, trying to comprehend the natural way of Zhuofeng and hoping to obtain the secret of the word "all".

They weren't just sitting there doing nothing.

Although no great teachings were passed down, they were not kept to themselves; instead, they carefully guided the students.

"Unexpectedly, yet another self-important fellow has joined Zhuofeng!"

"How naive! If Zhuofeng had any inheritance, it would have been obtained long ago. Why would it be his turn?"

"Zhuofeng has completely declined. There is no point in spending time here except to waste time!"

"I reckon this guy won't even last six months!"

"Six months? I bet he won't even last three months before he has to slink away to the elders and beg to join another main peak!"

Aside from the occasional passing disciples from other main peaks.

More or less, they showed arrogance and condescension, and made a few sarcastic remarks.

No one really came to cause trouble.

Taiyi didn't pay any attention and maintained his usual low profile.

Ignore the ridicule and ignore those who are not deliberately causing trouble; remain calm and indifferent.

As if detached from worldly strife, one earnestly perceives nature, observes every blade of grass and every tree here, and comprehends the true meaning of Zhuofeng Peak, already subtly gaining insight.

From the very beginning, his only goal was to obtain the secret of the character "皆" (jie). Other trivial matters were irrelevant to him and were not taken seriously.

As long as you don't provoke him.

He doesn't deliberately flaunt it.

On this day, Taiyi went directly to the somewhat old and desolate nine-step jade staircase.

After carefully examining it, he finally sat down cross-legged on it, immersing himself completely in the Zhuofeng Peak.

Taiyi naturally understood that the inheritance of Zhuofeng was very special. The mountain was a scripture, and the secret methods of inheritance required a corresponding state of mind to imprint the immortal techniques.

As Li Ruoyu passed by, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

But he said nothing, nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and left.

……

Chapter 59: The Secret of All Characters, Assassination?

time flies.

More than half a month has passed in a flash.

Taiyi sat there cross-legged with his eyes closed, as firm as a rock.

His mind was at peace, and in a trance, he became one with nature.

"Buzz—" On this day, a strange feeling entered Taiyi's heart.

It was as if he had been enlightened, and he began to truly understand a trace of the true meaning of Zhuofeng, rather than a far-fetched interpretation.

It seemed as if inexplicable trajectories emerged between heaven and earth, forming complex and profound rules and order, giving rise to mysterious patterns and designs.

"A great achievement is like a lack, a great gain is like a rush, a great skill is like a clumsy..."

An inexplicable sound echoed.

Taiyi is as still as a rock, unmoving, listening to the wondrous sounds of heaven and earth.

Zhuofeng, whose lineage had been severed for five hundred years, has seen the resurgence of profound teachings, the opening of the Taoist gates, and the unfolding of wondrous truths.

There are no divine springs gushing from the earth, no auspicious omens descending from the sky, only a simple tradition, a Taoist charm flowing through the air.

His mind was serene, as if he were one with Zhuofeng.

Suddenly, a strange Daoist aura began to circulate, appearing incredibly mysterious, quite different from the ancient and simple cultivation method of Zhuofeng.

No sound came, no waves rippled, only a strange charm appeared on the summit of Zhuofeng.

He directly captured a wisp of mysterious Taoist charm.

However, Taiyi's ambition was not to inherit the fundamental mental cultivation method of Zhuofeng, but to focus on comprehending that ancient and supreme secret technique.

It must be said that the predecessors of Zhuofeng were incredibly accomplished. They left not a single word or phrase, but used the entire main peak as a scripture to pass down one of the nine secrets, ensuring its continuity and transmission to future generations. Their methods were truly extraordinary.

It was as if lines were interwoven between heaven and earth, and unknown rules were transformed into order, giving rise to inexplicable power and constructing various patterns in the void.

Before Taiyi's eyes, the summit of Zhuofeng constantly changed.

All things wither, grass and trees decay, turn into soil, return to their roots, from movement to stillness, return to their true nature, as if there is an eternal law evolving.

From birth to return to the origin, through vibrant life, extreme prosperity, and then to the fading of splendor and ultimate tranquility, returning to the source, there are countless "Dao patterns" in the world that are born and die.

"This secret technique is magnificent and unparalleled. When activated, it can unleash combat power several times or even ten times when accidentally triggered. It truly deserves to be a peerless secret technique that all holy lands and ancient families covet."

Taiyi's mind was ethereal and he merged with Zhuofeng into one.

He obtained the secret of the character "皆" as he wished, and felt the profound mystery of this supreme secret technique, praising it there.

"Have you been hiding your true identity and real strength all along?"

Just then.

Li Ruoyu suddenly appeared.

He stood before Taiyi, staring at him with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man had actually concealed his identity and strength.

It seems to be some kind of extremely special physique, somewhat like the legendary Ancient Sacred Body, yet also like the legendary Sun Body, and he is already a powerful figure in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Surprisingly, without the "key" that was Zhuogong.

With his extraordinary comprehension, Sheng Sheng grasped the true meaning of Zhuofeng even before the inheritance was initiated, and even obtained the legendary secret of the character "Jie".

Just now, when Taiyi's mind and spirit were completely merged with Zhuofeng.

Li Ruoyu, who had already comprehended the Great Dao of Nature and merged with the entire Zhuofeng Peak, naturally comprehended the secret of the character "皆".

At the same time, they also sensed the opponent's strength and special physique, which had actually broken through to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm.

Moreover, he cultivated a certain extremely profound and powerful ancient scripture.

"Senior's insight is indeed remarkable..."

Taiyi smiled and admitted it.

Knowing the old man's character and conduct, he no longer tried to hide anything: "To be honest, senior, my name is Taiyi, and my true identity is the newly established candidate for Holy Son of the Yaoguang Holy Land!"

"what?"

Li Ruoyu was startled.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a candidate for Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Taiyi? Young friend, your talent is extraordinary, and your future achievements are bound to be limitless..."

He gazed intently at the exceptionally talented young man before him, who had not yet revealed his true appearance, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Thanks to you, I have also obtained the Secret of All... However, this is, after all, a closely guarded secret of my Tai Xuan Sect, so please do not casually pass on the Secret of All!"

Such a prodigy has a limitless future, and there's a high chance he'll take charge of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Moreover, although the other party had infiltrated the Tai Xuan Sect, he acted quite openly. After obtaining the All-Encompassing Secret, he generously gifted the Soldier-Encompassing Secret.

Even though there are considerable grudges and entanglements between Yaoguang Holy Land and Zhuofeng, he could not possibly turn against them directly.

They also did not want to bring unnecessary enemies to the Tai Xuan Sect because of this.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior..."

Taiyi bowed respectfully and performed the greeting.
