Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

Is tacit consent the same as an invitation?

Different!

Regardless of the reason why Qin Tian has such a face.

But this life is destined to be inextricably linked with the Ruthless Great Emperor.

So... now that the little girl's affection level is maxed out, it's time to raise the big girl's affection level too.

"Now that we've had our dessert, it's time to have our main course." Qin Tian stepped across the nine dragons and chains and arrived before the enormous bronze coffin.

Kowloon pulls the coffin!

Also known as the Three Generations Copper Coffin, as the trilogy unfolds and the world-building continues to improve, the prestige of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin also rises. Its essence is extraordinary, serving as the tomb of the Highland Lord after his death.

This is the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything. The three parts of the "Covering the Sky" trilogy begin here, constantly traversing through ancient history, from the Imperial Bones, the Fall of the Emperors, the Immortal Ancient Era, the Chaotic Ancient Era, all the way to the present day.

The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin spans countless eras, almost dating back to the very beginning of creation, to one of the most glorious periods of history.

The era that gave birth to a supreme being of the Dao of Sacrifice was bound to have an incredibly prosperous cultivation civilization, with beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level being mass-produced.

The path to becoming an Immortal Emperor was opened, giving birth to many Immortal Emperors, and He was one of the best among them.

He opened the way of sacrifice, creating a path leading to the way of sacrifice.

It is the most magnificent crown of an era, the pinnacle of civilization, the strongest being throughout countless ages. From the beginning of time to the end of the world, no one has been stronger than him.

At most, he could be on par with him.

Even in terms of achievements, no one can match him.

The three people who later became Huang Yechu were merely His disciples.

The path of the future Desolate Emperor will be the path of sacrifice, which he will follow by learning from the bizarre and strange, thus stepping into the realm of sacrifice.

Therefore, it can also be said that they learned from the master of the plateau.

The same applies to the other Heavenly Emperors.

It was He who opened up the path of sacrifice, and created the Dharma above the path of sacrifice, seeking nothingness, seeking emptiness, and ultimately transcending the world.

But in the end, He fell ill. His power was too great, and he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. After becoming the sole supreme being, He could see the world as an illusion with a single thought, and the universe as real with a single thought.

Ultimately, it will burn itself and bury itself.

Buried on the plateau, the strong remain strong even in death.

His ashes gave birth to a race, and the Strange Race, with the help of his remaining power, became the rulers of countless worlds, continuing for countless epochs.

This nine-dragon coffin was once the coffin of that one. When the plateau collapsed, it was exposed and discovered by a being of the Celestial Emperor level.

The ashes were dug up and eaten, thus giving birth to a bizarre progenitor.

This nine-dragon coffin was thrown out by the ancestors and wandered through the boundless world.

Chapter 194 Flourishing and Declining, the Path to Survival is About to Be Completed

Qin Tian stroked the enormous bronze coffin. The ancient coffin was simple and unadorned, full of the vicissitudes of time, and a mysterious aura emanated from it.

This ancient museum, made of an unknown material, is itself an embodiment of ancient history, spanning three thousand years, unchanging and eternal.

Qin Tian pushed open the bronze coffin, and a sound like the first roar of the universe resounded, stirring the soul and making it feel as if it were about to leave the body.

Stepping into the coffin, one is greeted by a starry sky. The carvings are blurred and covered by rust, and the endless stars are extremely faint, as if a real world has been fixed here.

Looking around, one sees one bronze carving after another on the coffin walls, depicting the Taotie, Qiongqi, Taowu, and other creatures. They are enormous, with ferocious faces, and are so lifelike that they inspire awe. They are all ancient beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and seem to be about to burst out of the walls.

"The ancient beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas all have extraordinary origins!" Qin Tian said thoughtfully.

It should be known that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is a divine object that has existed for countless eons.

This group of ancient beasts already existed in that era, and were carved in bronze coffins, passed down from generation to generation to this day.

This is more powerful than any magic.

True immortals will perish, immortal kings will die, and even immortal emperors will be forgotten, but bloodlines can survive countless eras and continue to this day.

Generation after generation, the ancestors live on in the blood of their descendants; this is the longest-lasting and most effective way to achieve immortality.

"But... why would such a pattern be carved in this coffin?" Qin Tian asked, puzzled.

Qin Tian recalled some netizens' wild ideas: "Could these be the favorite foods of that highland lord?"

"Carved into the coffin as a form of sacrifice?"

The protagonists of the trilogy all share a common hobby: they love to eat and are quite good at it.

It seems that the one who loved to eat the most was the Lord of the Plateau, who even used it as a sacrifice after his death.

Qin Tian walked to the center of the bronze coffin, where there was a smaller coffin, less than four meters long and less than two meters wide, which was the second of the three bronze coffins.

Ancient and somber, engraved with ancient images, covered in verdigris, and etched with the marks of time, it inspires a chill and awe.

Qin Tian tried to lift the small coffin and found it very difficult. The coffin was very heavy, like a small universe, and it even had a kind of world energy, as if he was moving a complete world.

This small coffin is a supreme artifact, its weight varying depending on the person carrying it; the stronger the person, the heavier it becomes.

"It's really heavy!" Qin Tian put it down and shook his wrist.

He then sat cross-legged in front of the small coffin, and the Bodhi seed bracelet on his wrist emitted a divine light, enhancing his enlightenment.

Qin Tian closed his eyes, his Heart Blade severing all distracting thoughts, and he entered a state of clarity.

Gradually, he heard a Daoist sound!

At first, the sound was very faint, but then it grew louder and louder. The sound coming from the small bronze coffin in front of them became more and more magnificent, like the sound of the Great Dao or a profound truth.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage and make up for the deficiency..."

The mysterious Daoist Heavenly Sound begins with a famous quote from a Daoist classic, but what follows is an ancient and profound text that is unheard of and whose meaning is difficult to understand.

A vast and profound voice seemed to have pierced through time and space from the ancient wilderness, finally resonating in Qin Tian's ears like a great bell and entering his heart.

Qin Tian sat cross-legged in front of the coffin, level with it, facing it. The coffin was covered with verdigris and carved with many ancient ancestors and deities, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

Clear traces of the Great Dao descended from the horizon, enveloping Qin Tian and Gu, while the aura of their innate Dao embryos rippled out, connecting with the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Qin Tian seemed to transcend the mortal world and ascend to immortality, like a banished immortal who was untouched by worldly affairs and might ride the wind away at any moment.

The heart was no longer at peace. The voice of the Great Dao, as deep and vast as the ocean, resounded throughout the world with each word as if the sea had collapsed and the abyss had split.

Like an ancient chant or a primordial god's prayer, it flowed endlessly, piercing the ancient sky and slowly flowing into Qin Tian's heart, causing his mind to tremble and his thoughts to surge, leaving him unaware of his surroundings.

This profound and mysterious hymn is not lengthy at all; on the contrary, it is concise and to the point, consisting of only a few hundred words in total. It has a simple and ancient feel to it, where the great way is simple, the hustle and bustle fades away, and one returns to simplicity and authenticity.

Just as Qin Tian had expected.

This book on repairing the immortal realm gave Qin Tian the greatest inspiration. Although he did not know the true meaning of the hundreds of words in the scripture, every time Qin Tian recited the scripture, different insights into the Great Dao would emerge in his heart.

It was as if someone was explaining the reasons for his decline and describing the moment of his prosperity.

Qin Tian looked up, his eyes clouded, with halos of light swirling around his pupils.

It was as if one could see the outside world through the ancient bronze coffin.

In his eyes, heaven and earth were no longer heaven and earth, but had become a personification, transforming into a Taoist.

That Taoist was ancient and unremarkable, without beginning or end, as if formed from the primordial chaos, like the embodiment of all things in the world, or the singularity of the universe, the origin of everything, omnipresent, the only one and the ultimate, the supreme being of the Great Dao, yet revealing wisps of decay.

At this moment, time itself becomes eternal, and even the universe loses its meaning.

Boundless light of the Dao appeared in Qin Tian's eyes, and the heavenly sound, like the grandest bell, rang out again and again.

Qin Tian felt as if he were lying in the ocean of the world, with the sound of the Great Dao echoing in his ears, making him sink into the ocean of the Dao.

My eyes lowered, and a singularity filled my field of vision, like a dragon or a snake. The light and shadow shifted, and a black and white yin-yang energy filled the world, coiling into a yin-yang fish with its head and tail connected.

The world is so vibrant!

The world's most prosperous time!

The decline of the world!

They were all displayed before Qin Tian's eyes.

boom!

In the darkness, there seemed to be an enormous voice, but upon closer listening, nothing could be heard.

The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless. When you can't hear a sound, you are already in the sound, becoming a note in the music. When you can't see a strange phenomenon, you are already in the phenomenon, becoming a part of heaven and earth.

Vigorous growth, peak, and decline—three rules emerged in succession. Qin Tian seemed to merge with heaven and earth, plunging into the deepest realm of Dao.

The path of decline evolved the fastest, entering Qin Tian's mind with an almost impatient speed.

Who made Qin Tian exist in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

Although we are currently in a golden age, the world as a whole is in a state of great decline, and it seems that we are only a hair's breadth away from the end.

The world was in decline, and Qin Tian naturally understood the principles of decline.

Similarly, during the creation of the world, the principle of the flourishing of all things was at its peak, while during the Immortal Ancient Era, the principle of the law was at its strongest.

This is the foundation of existence, representing the flourishing, prosperity, and decline of all the heavens and myriad realms, not simply the past, present, and future!

Among the supreme beings of this world, if he were not in the final calamity, the Supreme Lord of Morality alone could easily defeat all the other shore beings except for Amitabha Buddha.

The invincibility of the Three Pure Ones is no joke.

Lingbao Tianzun, who reigns supreme in the final calamity, is at the end of the calamity. With the emergence of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he becomes the very end. The killing power of the four swords rises to its strongest, enough to wash away the shame of the Zhuxian Sword Formation being set up and broken time and time again.

The Three Pure Ones are truly invincible in three different time periods.

At the beginning of time, he was invincible, holding the destiny of creating heaven and earth.

Xiao Meng is an ancient being who could transform into the oldest being at the beginning of creation. With a single strike, even Amitabha Buddha would not dare to touch him.

Moreover, the authentic Primordial Celestial Venerable, the oldest being, with the Pangu Banner in hand and the combined power of the two oldest beings, truly stands as the head of the three venerables and the supreme ruler of all the heavens and myriad realms.

The world was formed by the Three Pure Ones, who respectively represent the creation from nothingness, the foundation of existence, and the return from existence to nothingness. Together, they encompass everything, leaving nothing behind, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Therefore, when the Three Pure Ones unite, they have no rivals.

In fact, there is an even more efficient and simpler method for the Three Pure Ones to attain enlightenment.

That is... to kill all the other shores of the entire world. Just one Lingbao Tianzun can intercept at least three other shores. At the height of the era, the Daode Tianzun was slightly better than Amitabha Buddha, so stopping him would not be a problem.

The remaining few Beyonders were all killed by Yuanshi Tianzun with a single, cruel blow.

However, the Three Pure Ones worried that waging war against so many otherworldly realms would shatter the myriad worlds, causing problems with the cyclical power of the universe and preventing the Dao Fruit from fully developing.

This is why they chose the original story's route, with Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun in a state of emptiness beforehand, entrusting their karma to the Golden Emperor.

So that one can be one step ahead when it comes to transcendence.

Qin Tian's aura shifted, sometimes transforming into a vibrant and energetic youth, sometimes into a powerful and vigorous middle-aged man, and sometimes into a weathered and decaying old man.

One person has three phases, which change constantly. As the energy rises, the elderly Qin Tian appears more and more often, showing signs of decline and sinking deeper into depravity.

The reasons for the decline of the universe were revealed to him: the heavens wept, the earth collapsed, and the ten directions of the universe were absorbing and releasing chaotic essence, but they could not hold on to it. The great dragon of the universe had long been severed, and the world tree had been felled.

One after another, chaotic essence flowed out, the rules of immortality were shattered and cleansed long ago, and the origin of the universe withered away.

The entire universe is in a state of disrepair, and it is probably only a hair's breadth away from its complete end.

In such a state, the decline of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is naturally even more pronounced.

If it weren't for a sword light shining from the shadows, supporting the universe and preventing it from reaching its demise...

In its current state, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will enter a state of complete chaos in nine million years. Extraordinary beings will cease to exist, the rules of the universe will become inward-looking, and the rules of physics will prevail, sealing off heaven and earth and the extraordinary, and imprisoning all living beings.

Qin Tian personally experienced the principles of decay in the universe, and the path of decay evolved rapidly.

But those who are close to the Way will inevitably suffer losses because of it!

A streak of white appeared on Qin Tian's once jet-black hair, and the strands gradually turned white. The decaying energy within his body intensified, and even his life spring emitted mournful cries.

"Brother!" At the critical moment, the little girl's call pulled Qin Tian back from the cosmic desolation.

When Qin Tian regained consciousness, the hundreds of ancient characters were still echoing in his ears. The sound of the Dao was like a tide, continuous and unending, deeply imprinted in Qin Tian's heart, eternal and unforgettable.

Qin Tian spoke in a voice that was both youthful and weathered: "Flourishing, prosperous, and declining—these three foundations never existed before, but I have finally created them."

"However, we are still missing a core element from the true way of survival: to unify the principles of flourishing, prosperity, and decline, to govern all changes, to survey the four elements, and to combine all principles with the Way."
