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

"Yin Tiande is definitely a top contender on the road to becoming emperor."

Yin Tianzhi said proudly, "My elder brother defeated many holy lords of the world four years ago. Now that the Eight Views Palace is open, my brother will surely be the best."

"Indeed, my master was born invincible, unmatched and unstoppable!" The demon dragon boy beside Yin Tianzhi was also quite proud.

None of the four prodigies responded, seemingly truly intimidated by them.

At this moment, the gates of the Eight Views Palace opened, and countless celestial auras and rosy clouds overflowed out, with faint sounds of morality resounding throughout the universe.

A young man emerged from within, dressed in a black and white yin-yang fish-patterned Taoist robe, with long black hair and a serene, ethereal aura emanating from him.

"There are people in the Eight Views Palace?!" A commotion arose from the crowd!

"Did someone get there first?"

"impossible!"

"I was already here when the Eight Trigrams Palace opened; there's absolutely no way anyone could have entered from the outside." Someone immediately retorted, "Furthermore, the array outside the Eight Trigrams Palace hasn't been broken; it still exists..."

Qin Tian glanced at everyone, and time seemed to flow backward in his eyes, with scenes from the past appearing before him.

"Yin Tiande?"

"This is... the Eight Views Palace!" Qin Tian looked back and saw the four characters "Taiqing Sacred Realm" engraved in the void, flowing with Daoist charm.

An ancient gate tower stands horizontally, not particularly grand, yet possessing an imposing aura that suppresses heaven and earth.

Amidst swirling clouds and rising mist, the Eight Views Palace resembles an immortal temple of the gods, exuding a powerful aura that inspires awe.

Qin Tian never expected that he would end up inside the Eight Views Palace.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense, since it was set up by a certain faction, and the same coordinates already existed inside the five-colored altar.

"It's quite nice, perfect as a place to stay." Qin Tian looked at the Eight Views Palace and nodded in satisfaction.

The five thousand words of Tao Te Ching permeate this purple palace, exuding an aura of transcendence, sacredness, grandeur, majesty, and unfathomable mystery.

Legend has it that there are two versions of the Tao Te Ching. One is the one we see today, which is passed down to the world for ordinary people to read. The other is not revealed to the world, and was only seen by Yin Xi when Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west.

The upper part is an outline of cultivation, which Qin Tian once saw on Earth, selling for 10.8 yuan a copy. The lower part is the cultivation method, recording various great supernatural powers, such as One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Purple Qi Comes from the East, and Taiqing One Qi Hunyuan Slash, all of which are great supernatural powers comparable to imperial techniques.

"Who are you, and why are you in the Eight Views Palace?" Yin Tiande asked.

Qin Tian looked at the number one genius of Ziwei with great interest and chuckled: "I am the master of the Eight Views Palace."

"The Eight Views Palace is mine!"

Yin Tiande is a very peaceful and indifferent person, but when it comes to the path of cultivation, he is extremely ruthless and decisive. He unleashes a burst of brilliant solar divine power and throws out a solar holy fist. It is as if the sun in the sky has descended to earth. Every ray of holy light is incredibly bright and surges with the power of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

"Not bad!" Qin Tian commented, then with a flick of his sleeve, five-colored divine light swept across the sky, piercing through the past and present, and sweeping over all elements.

He tucked Yin Tiande into his sleeve. Reaching Yin Tiande's level, every move he made was a great supernatural power, turning a simple attack into a divine ability.

"What kind of being is that?"

"I can't see through it!" a Dao-Slaying King murmured from the shadows. A being that a Dao-Slaying King couldn't see through was either a Half-Saint or a Saint.

"This one exudes youthful vigor and is very young. He should be a half-saint!" Zhan Dao Wang said hesitantly, but even so, it was enough to shock people.

Although the Ziwei Ancient Star has many Dao-slaying experts, and its leaders include many Great Completion Kings, it has fewer Saints than the Beidou Star.

Qin Tian glanced into the shadows, his eyes gleaming with a restrained yet magnificent light, which frightened the Dao-Slaying King into fleeing in a panic.

"You, go and deal with that guy!" Yin Tianzhi commanded the boy.

"Huh? Me!" The boy, who was actually a demon beast, pointed to himself, then looked at the deity in the Eight Views Palace, completely bewildered.

To entrust the task to someone who is suspected of being a saint? That's giving him far too much credit.

Although he has a thousand years of cultivation, he is no different from a plate of spicy strips in front of a saint.

Didn't you see that Yin Tiande was taken down in one move?

Chapter 302 Accepting Yin Tiande as a Disciple, Lao Tzu's Legacy

Yin Tianzhi said angrily, "Damn it, relying on their high cultivation level, they not only stole my elder brother's things, but also dared to suppress him."

"My elder brother is destined to be invincible, and you will pay the price!"

The demon boy beside him looked at Yin Tianzhi and sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "Even brothers who share the same blood can be very different!"

"If the older brother is so amazing, how come the younger brother is like an idiot!" The demon child barely suppressed the urge to slap this idiot to death.

They're still on someone else's turf, and they're already talking so recklessly. They really don't know what death means!

He was an old demon who had lived for a thousand years, and he was no pushover. If he hadn't been unable to determine whether Yin Tiande was alive or dead, he would have swallowed this piece of trash whole and refined the Divine Phoenix Blood to temper his body.

If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!

"Retreat, all of you!" Qin Tian waved his hand, and everyone was teleported to another world. No matter how high their cultivation level was, they were unable to resist. When they regained consciousness, they found themselves millions of miles away.

Everyone was terrified; such methods were simply outrageous.

They can teleport them millions of miles away, or take their lives with a wave of their hand.

"Such methods are truly defying the heavens!"

"Absolutely surpasses the Dao-Slaying level."

"The winds blowing through Ziwei are about to change!" a passerby remarked.

.........

Inside the Eight Views Palace, Qin Tian released Yin Tiande from his sleeve.

Yin Tiande's vision blurred for a moment, and the colorful world disappeared before his eyes, replaced by a sacred purple palace.

He knew where he was; it was an opportunity left behind by the mysterious Lao Tzu, called the Eight Views Palace.

Looking back, the saint who had captured him with a single hand was right beside him.

Yes, Yin Tiande deduced Qin Tian's true nature, placing him within the ranks of the Holy Path.

Yin Tiande was confident that with his combat strength, he could even fight against a king. Only a sage could defeat him so easily.

Sainthood and non-sainthood are two different levels, stages of life that ordinary people cannot transcend.

Looking at Yin Tiande in front of him, Qin Tian was filled with thoughts. Yin Tiande was the first genius to appear in the original work, and his achievements were extraordinary. He was once regarded by Ye Fan as a major enemy in life.

Later, he also successfully reached the realm of alternative paths to enlightenment.

He was defeated in a battle against the Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan, and passed away a thousand years later.

Qin Tian thought highly of him. He was ruthless and dark-hearted enough that even after his younger brother was killed by Ye Fan, he remained unfazed and continued his seclusion to break through to the Dao-Slaying Realm.

He is definitely a potential spiritual cultivator.

Similar to him, but Qin Tian's ruthlessness and cruelty are directed at his enemies.

Duan De: "???"

If he had lived in another era, he would most likely have attained enlightenment and lived a brilliant life.

He is completely different from someone like Da Yue Liang who became emperor through nepotism.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?" Qin Tian released his holy aura, resonating with this small world.

In an instant, the entire Taiqing Sacred Realm seemed to be activated, with vast purple energy stretching for 30,000 miles and boundless rosy light covering the entire sky, as if it were the abode of gods, with the energy of the Great Dao flowing through it, inspiring deep awe.

A hint of arrogance appeared on Yin Tiande's calm face: "What kind of skill is it to suppress me with your cultivation level? If you ask me to fight someone of the same cultivation level, I might not necessarily lose to you!"

Qin Tian looked puzzled, and for some reason saw a familiar face in Yin Tiande.

A certain invincible emperor of the Four Great Emperors.

He had never been provoked like this before; in the past, he had always been the one to use a lower realm to defeat a higher realm.

Even if one were to fight a saint with the cultivation of a great power, one could still charge in, stand in the forbidden realm of gods, and smash the opponent's skull.

Instead of doing what Yin Tiande did, having the sage lower his cultivation level a bit so they could have another battle.

However, Qin Tian also understood, after all, not everyone can step onto the forbidden path, and not everyone can use their great cultivation to defy sages.

"I want to fight you at the same level!" Yin Tiande stated his purpose. He didn't want to have another person above him for no reason. The Saint Realm was not out of reach for him; he could reach it in at most thirty years.

He didn't want to be inferior to others for the rest of his life just because he was a disciple of a saint.

So what if he's a sage? He was just born a few years earlier than him. How could he possibly bow and scrape before him?

Qin Tian expressed his understanding.

So, the people who cover the sky! That's just their temperament. If they want to become my master, they have to surpass me in at least one aspect and make me truly convinced!

"Let's forget it. If I were to fight you at the same level, I'm afraid your Dao heart would be unstable!" Qin Tian said sincerely.

"You're scared!" Yin Tiande deliberately provoked.

"If we fight each other at the same level, and I win, you will leave the Eight Trigrams Palace; if I lose, I will willingly become your disciple and regard you as my father!"

Qin Tian smiled enigmatically: "So you never lose, whether you win or lose?"

If he wins, he will gain the Eight Views Palace, which he could not have occupied otherwise; if he loses, he will become Qin Tian's disciple, proving that Qin Tian's abilities far surpass his own.

They can also reside in the Eight Views Palace and have a chance to receive Lao Tzu's legacy.

"Yin Tiande is quite clever."

Seeing that Qin Tian wanted to take him as a disciple, and that he couldn't refuse, he pretended to be arrogant to arouse Qin Tian's curiosity, and then took the opportunity to challenge him to a battle. Whether he won or lost, he would always benefit.

As for whether this will offend Qin Tian, ​​the saint.

Yin Tiande was willing to take the gamble.

The moment he threw a punch at Qin Tian but wasn't killed, he judged that this sage had great courage and wouldn't kill him for such a small offense.

As for his own misjudgment, Qin Tian was not so magnanimous. If he lost his life because of this offense, then so be it. Seekers of the Dao are never afraid of death.

To become the number one prodigy of the Ziwei Ancient Star all by himself and gain the recognition of all living beings on a life-source land, he is not lacking in either wisdom or decisiveness.

As for whether it's worth risking one's life for a mere title, one can only say that everyone in the world of "Covering the Sky" is like that.

Having a flawless Dao heart is very important. If you kneel before a sage today, will you also have to kneel before a quasi-emperor tomorrow?

Once such a choice is made, how will one become an emperor in the future?

Throughout history, there have only been emperors who were made through fighting, not those who were made by kneeling. Even if he was no match for him, Yin Tiande still had to make a challenge. In this way, no matter what the outcome was, at least Yin Tiande had put up a fight.

Qin Tian chuckled lightly: "Alright, I agree to your request. What can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted."

"After the battle, if your Dao heart remains unchanged, I can accept you as a disciple!" Qin Tian said meaningfully. In a sense, Yin Tiande guessed wrong; he, Qin, was quite petty.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Tian conjured a paper figure. Time had sculpted its form, and its body was filled with vital energy. A being exactly like Qin Tian appeared before Yin Tiande.

His body exuded the aura of a powerful being at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm.

"I won't take advantage of you either. This is an avatar I created using a secret technique, possessing 88% of the power of my past self. I think it's enough to defeat you!" Qin Tian said slowly and deliberately. His battle with the Desolate Emperor made him deeply aware of his shortcomings.

That is, one cannot stand alone against a group, and it is difficult to sustain when facing a group attack. Therefore, Qin Tian has worked hard on the transformation technique, and today, this method of slashing is almost perfected.

The paper figure Qin Tian reappeared after a long absence, stepping forward to teach this cheap disciple a lesson about respecting one's teacher.

Duan De: "???"

"Come and fight!" Yin Tiande roared, his body bursting with brilliant golden light. This was a flawed version of the Sun Emperor Technique.

In the past, the Holy Emperor of the Sun spread the scriptures he created to various religions, which was regarded as a great virtue.

Whether it's the Purple Star, the Big Dipper, or other planets, there are traces of the Solar Emperor Scripture. It's just a pity that not everyone can keep the Emperor Scripture in their hands.

As new powers rose and old powers fell, some scriptures were lost along with the destruction of the great religions.

Ultimately, a portion of the Sun Emperor Scripture was obtained by Yin Tiande.

The paper figure evolved into Qin Tian, ​​a being at the level of a great power, surrounded by symbols of time. Qin Tian, ​​at this level of a great power, was incredibly strong and had already begun his journey against the tide to challenge the saints.

Even without stepping into the forbidden realm of gods, he can still strike against the kings of the heavens. With just one step, it is as if he is about to shatter the galaxy. The heavens and earth tremble, and streams of purple galaxies flow out backward.

"Roar!" Yin Tiande roared, his divine power shaking like a vast ocean. The two collided, light and darkness tearing the world apart. Waves surged and crashed, overturning the vast sky, as if the world was being destroyed!

The paper figure Qin Tian's eyes were sharp. He raised his hand and slapped down. Five colors, red, blue, black, white and yellow, flowed between his five fingers, circulating the five elements and constructing a small world within the womb, which he then slapped down towards Yin Tiande.

"bump!"

With just one palm strike, Yin Tiande was severely injured, his body cracked, and his white, jade-like bones emitted a mournful cry.

"Taiyin Nirvana Technique!" Yin Tiande roared, reshaping his Dao body. This was a secret technique recorded in the Taiyin Ancient Scripture, a divine technique given to him by his sworn brother.
