Covering the Sky: I am Donghuang Taiyi

Page 8

Taiyi stood up.

He was no longer planning to continue his ascetic practices, but instead prepared to leave.

Since ancient times, large artifacts such as bells, pagodas, and tripods have been far more difficult to obtain than ordinary weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, clubs, and fans.

However, he was not discouraged. He had enough patience and perseverance to slowly hammer and forge it with his divine sense.

"Hehe, no wonder it's a solar body that's rare in history..."

Just as Taiyi stepped out of the cave and was about to leave.

An aged voice suddenly echoed in his ears: "To break through to the Life Spring Realm in less than two or three months, your talent is truly extraordinary and astonishing!"

A sudden sound.

This made Taiyi's hair stand on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

I felt a chill run down my spine and cold sweat poured down my face.

"May I ask which senior you are? Please show yourself!"

He took a deep breath.

Suppress your inner panic.

He clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and looked around.

But they found no one, which made them somewhat suspicious.

It seems the other party has been observing him for a long time; otherwise, they would never have known that he broke through to the Life Spring Realm within a few months.

Moreover, it recognized its own constitution as a rare solar body, a rarity in ancient times.

Although, in reality, he is the even more astonishing Sun Body.

……

Chapter 7 The Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land?

"brush--"

suddenly.

A giant hand reached out from the void.

Taiyi had no time to resist; he only felt a blur before his eyes.

They had already been captured and taken to a mysterious cave, where in front of them stood an old man with a wrinkled face, white hair, almost all his teeth missing, exuding an aura of decay and gloom.

Although he had restrained his unparalleled aura, the aura that was as deep and boundless as the ocean still deeply shocked and somewhat frightened Taiyi.

"May I ask why you have brought this humble boy here, senior?"

He looked at the old man with a face full of wrinkles.

Taiyi was uneasy and quite nervous.

But he knew very well that he was absolutely unable to resist; the gap between them was too great.

The old man before me, who looked frail and nearing the end of his life, might very well be a powerful being with extraordinary abilities.

"The legendary solar body, with scriptures that manifest autonomously from the primordial spirit, is quite similar to some powerful demonic beasts that can obtain secret techniques passed down from their ancestors through their own bloodline..."

An elderly man, hunched over and looking frail, sat there cross-legged.

His cloudy eyes smiled as he looked at Taiyi before him, gleaming with a sharp light: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a descendant of the Sun Emperor, one of the two most ancient human emperors of the human race!"

"Only those supreme experts with such profound and unparalleled cultivation can accomplish such a thing... After a long period of time, their bloodline can still revert to its ancestral form, and their descendants who inherit the body of the sun can obtain the complete cultivation of the 'True Scripture of the Sun' through this method!"

"..."

Upon hearing this—

Taiyi trembled violently and broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, their secrets were all seen through by the other party.

Clearly, this mysterious old man had been secretly observing him for a long time.

He even discovered the secret of how he inherited the Sun Scripture through this method.

"You don't need to be nervous..."

Looking at Taiyi, who was sweating profusely, Danyangzi smiled slightly.

But his frail old age and missing teeth were somewhat unsettling: "If I were young and saw that you possessed the Sun Sutra, I might have been tempted and done something ruthless."

"But as you can see, I am nearing the end of my life. Even if I obtain the Sun Scripture, it will be of no use and will not extend my life... I originally just wanted to die peacefully here, but I never expected to meet you, young friend!"

"Perhaps it is a blessing from heaven, knowing that I am unwilling to accept my fate, and wanting me to leave without regrets!"

Upon hearing this...

Taiyi dared not relax for even a moment.

But he still braced himself, bowed, and asked, "I wonder how this humble one can serve you, senior?"

"Although you possess the Solar Body and have inherited the Solar True Scripture, you are ultimately just a rogue cultivator. Lacking resources and without guidance, it will be extremely difficult for you to rise rapidly..."

Danyangzi didn't speak directly, but said calmly, "Moreover, based on my observations these past few days, the resources you need for your breakthrough are probably not much less than those of the legendary Ancient Sacred Body. Only powerful forces with deep foundations like the various holy lands and ancient families can afford to support you!"

"Not to mention that you possess the 'True Scripture of the Sun,' which will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of various powerful forces in the future. They may even be unwilling to see you, the Sun Body, rise to prominence and overshadow their carefully cultivated successor, and may even attempt to exterminate you!"

"What the elder said is true; the human heart has always been unfathomable..."

Taiyi nodded helplessly.

He was well aware that it would be extremely difficult for a rogue cultivator to rise to prominence.

Resources are one aspect, but it's not just that the road to success is difficult to build; the most difficult hurdle to overcome is man-made disasters.

He vaguely guessed what the other person meant and couldn't help but bow and ask, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

"I am Danyangzi, the Supreme Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Would you be willing to become my disciple?" Danyangzi stopped beating around the bush and asked directly in a deep voice.

"The Sacred Land of Yao Guang?"

Taiyi's pupils contracted sharply.

A chill ran up my head, and I felt cold all over.

Staring blankly at the old man before him, he looked on in disbelief.

Is the other party a Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land?

He's almost at the end of his life, no longer staying in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Why would someone end up here, all alone, waiting to die?

It didn't seem like they were unwilling to accept their fate and wanted to run to the seven forbidden zones of life to seek an opportunity to prolong their lives.

"It seems you are not entirely ignorant of the situation in the cultivation world..." Danyangzi, keenly sensing Taiyi's unusual behavior, asked with some surprise, "However, is your nervousness due to some grudge against the Yaoguang Holy Land?"

He vaguely sensed it.

He heard that he was the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The other party was just tense, even somewhat fearful and uneasy.

"To be honest, senior, I was actually transported here by accident..."

Faced with Danyangzi's question.

Taiyi broke out in a cold sweat and said, half-jokingly, "But it seems that all my companions have been taken away by the six great grotto-heavens under the Yao Guang Holy Land and taken as disciples!"

"It was because I accidentally ate some strange fruits that my solar body was activated, and some scriptures suddenly appeared in my mind, which is why I started to cultivate!"

"But because my whole body was glowing, I always felt that attracting too much attention wasn't a good thing, so I subconsciously hid to avoid it!"

"I see……"

Danyangzi nodded slightly.

He's a living fossil, he's lived long enough that even his eyelashes are hollow, what kind of scene hasn't he seen?

Naturally, he knew that Taiyi was probably hiding something, but he didn't care.

In that case, the other party's connection with the Yao Guang Holy Land will be even stronger.

Under the banner of the Yao Guang Holy Land, there are countless small sects of all sizes that attach themselves to it. Every year, these sects recommend their most talented disciples to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

After passing the assessment, you can obtain permission to join the Yao Guang Holy Land and become its disciple.

If nothing unexpected happens, this exceptionally talented solar physique will surely stand out from those grotto-heavens in the future and is destined to join the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Putting all that aside, would you be willing to join the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

Danyangzi cut to the chase, asking directly: "In the past, I was also a Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land. In my youth, I was full of vigor and competed with the previous Yao Guang Holy Lord, who was also a Holy Son of the same generation and is now the master of Li Daoqing, the current Yao Guang Holy Lord, for the position of Holy Lord. In the end, I was defeated by one move and missed the position of Holy Lord, becoming the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land..."

"Hundreds of years ago, for certain reasons, I left the Holy Land of Yao Guang and went into seclusion here!"

"I never imagined that I would encounter such a brilliant and extraordinary genius as you before I pass away!"

If I hadn't met Taiyi.

In another year or two, he may pass away.

Therefore, we see such a gifted genius, a peerless prodigy with a solar body.

Ultimately, Danyangzi, who valued talent, had the idea of taking on a disciple.

……

Chapter 8 Becoming a Disciple! The Ancient Scripture of Yao Guang

"This……"

Taiyi's expression shifted, and he hesitated somewhat.

He already possessed the complete Imperial Scripture; all he lacked was the resources.

However, the Yao Guang Holy Land is a true den of demons; agreeing to join would be like handing yourself over to your death.
