Covering the Sky: I am Donghuang Taiyi

But the thought of needing massive resources to advance to the next level after breaking through each realm is unbearable.

He did have a bit of a headache.

"The Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm is manageable, but once we get to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, almost only the great sects and holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness and the ancient aristocratic families can afford to support it..."

Taiyi stopped.

Looking at Ye Fan, who was somewhat dazed, he bluntly said, "Moreover, ancient sages have predicted that when the Ancient Sacred Body enters the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it may encounter unimaginable calamities and find it difficult to overcome this challenge!"

He was luckier than the other person.

The Sun Holy Body is different from the Ancient Holy Body. It does not have such a curse. As long as there is a sufficient source, it can break through the barrier with unstoppable force.

That's why he was able to surpass others so quickly, reach the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and catch up with those successors who had been carefully nurtured by that powerful force since childhood, with all their heart and resources poured into them.

"..."

Ye Fan's heart sank.

He clenched his fists, feeling a mix of bitterness and helplessness.

"No matter what, I will keep walking this road and find my way home!"

But soon.

His gaze regained its resolve.

He gazed at Taiyi from there and spoke in a deep voice.

"I also believe that you will be able to break free from your own shackles in the future!"

Taiyi smiled and encouraged the other person.

He knew very well that Ye Fan was not one to be subservient to others.

Although the two had a decent relationship, their friendship wasn't the same as the one between the other and Pang Bo—a friendship that transcended personal gain and risked everything for each other.

It's impossible for someone to truly spare no expense to help the other party break through the barrier.

Everyone has their own destiny, and he has no intention of deliberately interfering with the other person's growth trajectory.

At most, it involves some transactions with the other party, exchanging favors without any real benefit.

……

Chapter 68 Exchange? Daoist Scripture Wheel Sea Scroll?

"Oh right, Taichi..."

Ye Fan cleared his mind of his chaotic thoughts.

He looked at Taiyi and asked seriously, "Since you are the closed-door disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land, can you ask them to release Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and Zhang Wenchang?"

The three major forces joined forces and made a big show of it, intending to venture into the ancient forbidden land to collect medicinal herbs.

I don't know how they found out that these people had come out of the forbidden land alive.

They deliberately sent people to various grotto-heavens to capture Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Wang Ziwen, and others who had joined those grotto-heavens for cultivation; their purpose was self-evident.

Ye Fan has personally witnessed how terrifying the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is these past few days.

These people are really being forced to break into the forbidden area to collect herbs.

I fear the odds are against us.

"A powerful force like the Yao Guang Holy Land is riddled with internal factions, intricately intertwined, and rife with unimaginable undercurrents..."

Taiyi shook his head slightly and said bluntly, "My lineage has limited influence, and frankly, my own situation is quite dangerous..."

"If I intervene directly, it might cause unnecessary trouble for Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and Li Xiaoman, dragging them into unpredictable dangers. Those people might even target them..."

"Moreover, those old fellows in the Holy Land who don't have much time left to live might not give me this much face in order to have a chance to pick the Holy Fruit!"

"That's why I concealed my presence and came to see you!"

This wasn't him lying to Ye Fan.

If the Ruthless Clan had discovered his relationship with Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and others earlier...

Knowing that he had once appeared in the desolate forbidden land to save these people, he would most likely use them to make a big fuss.

He didn't care whether anyone else was alive or dead, except for Lin Jia, who had a good relationship with Taiyi.

But from the beginning, he came here not just to save people, but for another purpose.

That mysterious celestial palace outside the desolate forbidden land is an unimaginable opportunity.

Taiyi was unwilling to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that offered him a chance to break into it.

As for the sacred medicine in the forbidden ancient land, it would be best to obtain it, but we will not force it if we cannot.

Prepare for both possibilities, if you can't get any opportunities either way.

That just means you're having really bad luck.

"Is that so?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

It seems that those long-established and powerful forces are all the same; they are not a monolithic entity.

The grandfather and granddaughter Jiang he had met before, like Jiang Tingting's family, had a father named Jiang Zhe who was said to have been a powerful and influential figure in his lifetime. However, due to a conflict with the head of the family, he left the Jiang family in anger and unfortunately died young from injuries.

"But don't worry, when these forces break into the sacred mountain to gather herbs, I will follow them in the shadows and wait for the right opportunity to act..."

Taiyi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, and Li Xiaoman will be fine!"

"That's good!"

Ye Fan felt relieved.

With Taiichi's help.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

"Speaking of which, I just sensed the aura of the Daoist scriptures from you..."

He smiled at Ye Fan and asked directly, "It is said that the last demon emperor of the Eastern Wilderness once stole the most precious part of the Dao Scripture, the Wheel Sea Scroll, which is known as the strongest Foundation Establishment chapter, and buried it with him in his mausoleum as a burial item. Did you obtain it from the demon emperor's tomb?"

Just now, at the moment when the two of them sensed each other's bodies.

He did indeed sense the aura of the Daoist Scripture from Ye Fan.

"What?" Ye Fan's smile froze.

He stared in shock at Taiichi, whose tone was full of certainty.

He wanted to deny it outright, but a cold sweat broke out on his brow, and he asked with some surprise and doubt, "Wait, you could even tell?"

Although we are good friends, I believe I can trust their character.

But friendship is friendship, and no matter what, a priceless treasure can be very tempting, so it's always better to be cautious.

Everyone has their own secrets; it's impossible to want others to know everything.

Just as Taiyi glossed over his experiences in the desolate forbidden land in a few words, he also directly omitted his experience of obtaining the Daoist scripture, the Wheel Sea Scroll, and the green copper piece in the Demon Emperor's tomb.

Neither of them deliberately tried to find out the truth.

But suddenly, the secret of his acquisition of the Daoist scriptures was discovered, which made him uneasy, as if he had been seen through.

Could the other party even know about the existence of the green copper sheet?

"Don't be surprised..."

Taiichi shrugged.

Without deliberately concealing anything, he stated directly, "The Yao Guang Holy Land happens to have collected fragments of Daoist scriptures, namely a portion of the Wheel Sea Scroll and the complete Four Extremes Scroll. My teacher passed it on to me... I have studied it before!"

"As you probably guessed, my constitution is special, which is why I was able to sense you just now and detect that subtle aura!"

This is one of the benefits of joining a major power.

Immortal powers like the Yao Guang Holy Land have collected countless scriptures over the long years, including even fragments of the Daoist scriptures.

Unfortunately, it is severely lacking.

Only a few fragments relate to the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and the Level 4 Secret Realm; fortunately, the Four Extremes Scroll is complete.

"You probably wouldn't want the incomplete version of the Sea of ​​Wheels, but the Four Extremes Scroll is complete. How about we exchange it?"

He looked at Ye Fan and asked directly.

He doesn't necessarily have to practice the Taoist scriptures, but they are recognized as the strongest chapters and must have unique insights that he can refer to.

In particular, the complete "Taoist Scripture: Wheel Sea" contains the Nine-Character Imperial Script, which can be said to be the essence of the entire ancient scripture, possessing all sorts of incredible wonders and great power.

If one can comprehend its mysteries in the future, one might be able to use it to deduce the complete "Taoist Scripture".

"Does the Yao Guang Holy Land also have fragments of the Daoist scriptures?"

Ye Fan was shocked.

These ancient and powerful forces indeed possess profound foundations.

They even have fragments of the Daoist scriptures in their collection.

He had previously learned from Taiyi that cultivation was divided into five major secret realms.

They are respectively the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Palace of the Dao, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Sendai.

The Daoist scripture scroll in his hand corresponds to the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

The Daoist scripture mentioned by Taiyi, the Four Extremes Scroll, is naturally the cultivation method corresponding to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Aren't there any Dao Palace scrolls?"

Taiichi asked him if he wanted to exchange.

Ye Fan was naturally tempted, but he couldn't help asking the next question.

At present, what he lacks most is the Dao Palace Scroll. Although the Dao Palace Scroll of the Dao Scripture cannot compare with the Western Emperor Scripture Dao Palace Scroll, which he finally managed to obtain from Taiyi after much pleading and is said to be recognized as having the strongest mental cultivation method of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, it is still a supreme scripture created by the Ancient Heavenly Venerable, which is comparable to those Emperor Scriptures and is not much inferior.

If we cannot obtain the Western Emperor Scripture.

The Daoist scriptures are naturally the best choice.

Moreover, the two chapters are perfectly connected, so there's no need to worry about problems with cultivation in the future.

However, there is still a Dao Palace Secret Realm between the Wheel Sea Scroll and the Four Extremes Scroll.
