Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

According to the incomplete map, that secret realm is the Gate of Yin and Yang, the Gate of Life and Death...

Unfortunately, the Daoist aura emanating from this broken stele began to fade rapidly more than a decade ago, and it will likely disappear completely soon. Furthermore, the map is incomplete, making it virtually impossible to find that secret realm using it, almost as difficult as becoming an immortal…

The Gate of Yin and Yang, Life and Death?!

Hearing this, Tan Lin's heart stirred slightly.

Immediately afterwards, an absurd doubt arose in his mind.

When he probed the broken stele with his divine sense just now, he didn't seem to see anything, not even the slightest bit of the "Yin-Yang Life and Death Gate".

But speaking of that fragment of the map, he did see that tens of thousands of years after his death in his previous life, a Taoist figure came to the ruins and threw down a scroll, along with several other items.

And thanks to the strange movement of the crimson mark belonging to his previous life deep within his soul.

He was absolutely certain that the figure was either the Immortal Emperor or the Immortal Daoist.

This... is probably a setup, a trap to lure in a few supreme beings, such as the Carefree Celestial Venerable, who once had a glimpse of the secrets of his Soul Pearl!

However, it remains to be seen whether any supreme beings have taken the bait during this long period of time.

……

He knows about the Yin-Yang Life and Death Gate?!

How many secrets did he actually discover in the broken stele?

At this moment, Shao Hanyun was intently watching Tan Lin's changing expression.

Seeing the glint of light in his eyes, she became even more certain that he knew something.

"Young master, I have had this stele and the fragment of the map for a long time, but I have been unable to decipher them, and I have no 'introduction' to them."

Meeting you today, young master, I realize that my opportunity has arrived.

The young master possesses the purest indestructible golden body, and his blood and energy are extremely yang and strong, which may serve as a guide for 'yang'.

Han Yun is not talented, but possesses a meager amount of immortal bloodline. Although it is not pure, it is still extraordinary and may be able to serve as a guide for 'yin'.

"If we join forces to study this stele and decipher the incomplete map, we may open the 'Gate of Yin and Yang, Life and Death,' and perhaps share in the supreme blessings and legacy of the Human Emperor that may lie within. Wouldn't that be a match made in heaven?"

She subtly increased the intensity, her voice becoming increasingly soft and alluring.

…………

Chapter 134 The fairy probably doesn't want the cult to know you weren't controlled, right?

In conversation.

In the quiet room, a faint, colorless, and odorless ripple, seemingly blended into the ambergris fragrance, quietly spread out.

This is a method of mental penetration that she comprehended after combining the "Salvation Technique" of the Beidou Divine Sect.

It can amplify the target's inner desires, making her appear more approachable in their eyes. When combined with secret techniques, it makes it extremely easy to gain the favor and trust of others, subtly influencing their mental judgment.

Moreover, the content of her words was itself full of seduction.

The two people's future is created out of thin air with a shared interest, indirectly binding them together and hinting at a subtle "cooperative" relationship.

At the same time, the invisible, strange fluctuations kept trying to invade Tan Lin's mind.

This amplifies their curiosity and desire for the "Gate of Yin and Yang Life and Death," as well as their closeness and trust in her as their "collaborator."

Tan Lin sneered inwardly at this.

This woman is indeed formidable, employing both soft and hard tactics, combining the lure of benefits with the infiltration of her mind.

If he were truly just a twelve-year-old prodigy, he would probably already be swayed by the moment and have developed a much stronger liking for him.

And under that feeling of being highly valued, one might have already become arrogant, and even developed some vague feelings for it.

Unfortunately, he was an exception.

And use that Yin-Yang Gate of Life and Death to attract him?

To be honest, if he hadn't been reincarnated several times, he might have already lost his composure by now.

Before the table, his expression remained calm, as if he were seriously considering the other party's proposal.

In reality, within the sea of ​​consciousness, the warm glow of the firefly within the barrier of the soul pearl instantly repelled all the invisible fluctuations that attempted to penetrate, dissipating them into nothingness.

"The Gate of Yin and Yang... the legacy of the Human Emperor..."

Tan Lin spoke slowly, his voice steady, revealing little emotional fluctuation.

"What the fairy said is indeed captivating."

However, this matter is of great importance. Did the Fairy of the Broken Map bring it with her?

The inscription on the stele is profound and mysterious; its interpretation cannot be accomplished overnight.

Besides, these so-called Yin and Yang probably refer to the power of Taiyin and Taiyang, right?

Even if we were to join forces as a starting point, we should both possess the physical bodies of the Sun and the Moon to be suitable, or perhaps we should each cultivate the "Sun Immortal Scripture" and the "Moon Immortal Scripture" respectively...

Moreover…

Speaking of it.

Tan Lin paused, then slowly raised his eyes, his deep gaze meeting Shao Hanyun's eerie dark golden eyes:

"It seems that the fairy is not entirely free? Perhaps she has some entanglement with the Northern Dipper Cult? I do not wish to get too involved in such troubles."

Without any warning, he directly revealed the other party's condition.

Upon hearing this, Shao Hanyun's delicate body trembled again, and her dark golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted to needle size as she stared intently at the calm-looking young man opposite her.

This time, her disguise almost completely collapsed, and a mixture of shock, panic, and shame, anger, and fear at being seen through flashed across her face.

He figured it out?

How did he know she wasn't completely under his control?!

How is this possible?!

The "Salvation Technique" is the greatest secret of the Beidou Divine Sect, originating from the previous period of turmoil.

This technique specifically controls the soul and mind, subtly influencing them so that even a sage would find it difficult to detect anything amiss if he wasn't paying attention.

She had been under this spell for many years, but due to a trace of the supernatural power in her bloodline and her unwavering will, she managed to carve out a "pure land" deep within her mind through countless struggles, thus preserving a part of her conscious self.

This is her biggest secret!

Even Xuan Yunzi and those old foxes in the sect failed to see through it.

How could this young man, this mere cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm, possibly know her secrets?!

At that moment, the quiet room fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy.

Before the cooperation has even begun, the foundation of trust seems to have already cracked.

At this moment, under Shao Shenyun's unpredictable gaze, Tan Lin simply waited calmly for the demoness's next move.

He seemed completely unafraid of her, who possessed the cultivation level of the Dao Severing Realm, and at this moment, enraged, he chose to attack her.

Is it because they think they're in the Chi family's house?

Countless thoughts churned in Shao Hanyun's mind, sending chills down her spine.

The unease of having one's secret discovered far outweighs the anger of having one's plans thwarted.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that in front of this seemingly immature boy,

Under the other person's deep gaze, it was as if all her pretense had vanished, and all her secrets were exposed to his eyes.

The silence continued to spread, broken only by the rustling of the fiery maple leaves outside the window and the faint crackling of the burning ambergris in the incense burner.

Wow!

Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze.

An invisible pressure spread out, the aura of a prodigy who had broken through the Dao was uncontrollably dissipating slightly.

Although Shao Hanyun tried to restrain herself slightly, the fleeting chill and danger still seemed to lower the temperature in the room.

however.

Tan Lin seemed oblivious to this, and continued to stare at Shao Hanyun with an expression as still as a deep well.

His deep eyes seemed crystal clear at this moment, able to reflect the deepest secrets of people's hearts.

As they made eye contact, he even casually adjusted his posture slightly, appearing even more relaxed.

His actions seemed to indicate that he was waiting for her response, or perhaps... he simply didn't care about her reaction at all.

However, it was precisely this complacent calm that made Shao Hanyun even more alarmed.

How to do it?

This is the Chi family home; force won't work. Now that their secrets have been exposed, even bribery doesn't seem to be effective...

In the silence, Shao Hanyun's thoughts raced like lightning.

Finally, a hint of determination and self-mockery flashed deep within her dark golden pupils.

It seems that we ultimately cannot get around that hurdle.

Those old fogies in the sect believed that this was the most suitable and the simplest and most effective method for dealing with young men like her, and the one she most admired for her purpose.

'Well... it's just a shell anyway, so at least it's being put to good use now...'

When she is completely free from control and regains her freedom,

If we can use this child as a bridge to glimpse the great secrets of the supreme level, or even find that ancient bronze coffin, what is this sacrifice?

Moreover, this child is exceptionally talented, possesses an indestructible golden body, and has a handsome appearance and refined demeanor; he is quite pleasing to the eye...

Think about this.

All the complex expressions on Shao Hanyun's face suddenly vanished, like spring snow melting away.

She suddenly smiled, a smile that no longer carried the deliberate allure of before, but instead possessed a relaxed languor and enchanting charm.

At this moment, she seemed to have shed all pretense, revealing her most authentic, alluring side as a femme fatale.

That smile was truly like the blooming of a spider lily, utterly enchanting, instantly making this elegant and quiet room even brighter and more vibrant.

"Young Master Tan... you truly have keen insight; nothing can escape your notice..."

Her voice softened, carrying a faint sigh and a captivating tremor.

Da...da...

She slowly rose, no longer separated by the low table, but instead, with her long, straight, jade-like legs, she walked around the table and gracefully approached Tan Lin, who was sitting opposite her.

…………

Chapter 135 Which enlightened being could not withstand such a test?

Da...da...

Her shimmering, demonic shoes, with their delicate heels, touched the ground crisply; Shao Hanyun's red dress blazed like fire.

As she walked, her skirt swayed, outlining breathtaking curves.

Her dark golden vertical pupils were fixed on Tan Lin, as if swirling vortexes were inside, captivating his soul.

As she approached, Tan Lin could sense it.

A strange, ethereal fragrance, much richer than before, emanated from her, mingling with the ambergris in the quiet room to create an ambiguous atmosphere that made cultivators' blood boil and their minds sway.

This fragrance seems to possess a strange power, capable of arousing the most primal desires in people's hearts.

"What does the fairy mean by this?"

Tan Lin remained seated, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, but his expression remained calm.

As the other party approached step by step, their movements were completely different from the previous probing attempts to infuse him with secret techniques.

This time it's more direct, more domineering, and carries an irresistible allure.

This is no longer just a simple secret technique of the Northern Dipper Cult.

It was more like a kind of primal charm that aroused primal desires, combined with her own bloodline traits and profound cultivation, making it incredibly powerful against dragon-transformation cultivators, overwhelming them completely.
