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

Perhaps only the slowly spreading, thick stench of blood and the remaining traces of the great battle tell the story of what once happened here.

Finally, Li Qingjue looked around, his eyes unreadable.

She had been in a sorry state and faced desperate situations time and time again while being hunted down and besieged by this group.

It wasn't until recently, when her mortal body underwent another transformation, her life level was elevated once again, and her cultivation was only one step away from the Great Sage realm, that she gained the strength and confidence to turn the tables.

In the initial counterattacks, she still needed to hide, fight on the move, defeat them one by one, and seize the opportunity to devour those who were alone.

As she devoured more and more of the "Overlord Body" essence, her "understanding" of the Overlord Body seemed to deepen, and she gradually became more adept at dealing with it.

To this day, this team, led by the Great Sage Cang Zhen, one of the current leaders of the ancestral star of the Overlord Body,

A powerful and elite force composed of more than ten Saint Kings and several Saints, which should have been enough to sweep across a star field, was wiped out by her alone!

This place is located deep within the forbidden ancient road, and there is no one around.

This bloodshed was destined to remain unknown to the outside world, except for those on the Ancestral Star of Hegemony who could glean some clues from the soul lamps of the deceased cultivators.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the distant universe, the Big Dipper buries the Emperor Star.

The questions some people have about the fated battle between the Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Blood, and why the people from the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star have not yet arrived, are destined to remain unanswered for the time being.

Even Tan Lin, who had just embarked on the ancient road, was not entirely clear about the inside story.

Originally, this person had emerged from seclusion in the Realm Within a Realm early on. Besides being forced by the Heavenly Tribulation, he also thought that if the people from the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body could not find him after his long absence, they might cause trouble for the Xiang family's territory.

Little did he know, he had completely overthought things.

……

Time slips away quietly.

The desolate starry sky, the floating broken meteorites, and the dim blood-red light together paint a gloomy picture.

The corpses of the Overlord Ancestral Star cultivators lay scattered in the true space, their original essence contained within each body having long been devoured.

The woman in the black dress sat quietly in the void, her stunning beauty concealed by a bronze mask with a crack in it.

Li Qingjue stayed in this desolate area for half a month.

After mastering the Secret of the Word and completely refining all the origins of the Overlord Body, her aura became increasingly powerful, and her cultivation showed signs of breaking through to the Great Saint realm.

However, she ultimately did not take that step.

It's just that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is not yet perfected to that point, and she still lacks some insights.

Although the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was derived from the Devouring Source True Scripture, which had also stirred up a bloody storm in the Five Regions of the Big Dipper decades ago.

However, after her master pointed out its flaws, and through her continuous self-improvement and refinement over the years, it has long since become a cultivation scripture with its own complete system of methods and principles.

Or rather, this is not just a method of cultivation, but a path she herself forged, the one most suitable for her own mortal condition.

Perfecting the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is also a way to perfect one's own Dao.

"The secret of the character '者'... truly profound..."

Suddenly, Li Qingjue whispered.

Although this one of the nine secrets of the mythical era, which she obtained from Cang Zhen's sea of ​​consciousness, was not entirely complete, it was still enough to benefit her greatly.

In particular, the profound mystery of life reorganization and flesh regeneration within this secret of the character "者" has provided immeasurable inspiration for her to perfect the next stage of the transformation of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art".

"Devouring all paths, fusing them into one furnace, reversing the innate, capable of opening the chaos..."

During her enlightenment, a spiritual light appeared on her spiritual platform. She sat cross-legged in the void, and then gained another insight, which made her close her eyes again and let her mind sink into her body.

hum...

As her demonic powers circulated, strange changes began to occur all over her body.

Strands of hazy, dark light slowly seeped from every pore of her flawless, porcelain-like skin beneath her dress.

The wisps of demonic energy and dark light were initially thin, then gradually thickened, and finally transformed into thousands of solid, silk-like strands of "chaotic energy," enveloping her entire body as if she were a giant cocoon of chaos.

At the same time that ten thousand rays of chaotic light appeared.

The more than 5,100 different kinds of alien origins that she had devoured, refined, and integrated into her body also began to resonate and respond to it.

Each origin represents a fragment of the Great Dao, a physique, and the mystery of ancient blood.

At this moment, as if summoned, these primordial light points emerged from her limbs, bones, acupoints, internal organs, and even the boundless Immortal Platform.

It transformed into more than 5,100 streams of "Qi" with distinct auras, attempting to merge with the myriad chaotic Qi outside the body.

Star Body, Primal Demon Body, Heavenly Tyrant Blood... a dazzling array of exotic primordial energies, radiating brilliance.

At this moment, every beam of primordial light tried to approach, entwine, and finally merge into a wisp of chaotic energy.

Those who successfully merge with each other find that the chaotic energy becomes increasingly solid and ancient, with its inherent Dao principles becoming more complete and profound.

Those that are not yet in sync tremble slightly, as if waiting, or perhaps indicating that their understanding of it is not yet complete, resulting in a sense of rejection.

outside world.

Li Qingjue's mind was clear and focused, immersed in the wonderful resonance and experience of this sudden enlightenment.

She was not forcibly forging it, but guiding, observing, and comprehending the various changes and principles that arise when different origins come together.

She had studied the "Yin-Yang Great Grinding Scripture" taught by her master, the Human Emperor, and now she could glimpse the ultimate mystery of this ancient scripture.

This ancient scripture allows the Yin and Yang to coexist in an extremely ingenious way. This is a correct path, and by cultivating it to its fullest extent, one can continuously transform oneself and even attain enlightenment.

But ultimately, they could not achieve harmony between yin and yang, thus giving rise to chaos.

She could see this, so how could her master, who created this ancient scripture, not see it?

Perhaps the other party was already in a precarious situation and had no choice but to make the best of a mistake, but in the end, they still proved their path by doing so!

Regardless, her master, throughout history, was always the first person to successfully cultivate both Yin and Yang. So what if it wasn't a true yin-yang harmony?

The other party has attained enlightenment!

How difficult it is to achieve true harmony between Yin and Yang!

Even now, standing on her master's shoulders, she still hasn't been able to deduce a method.

But this doesn't prevent her from drawing upon some or two of its "principles" and integrating them into her own path.

The evolution of chaos may not necessarily require the coexistence of yin and yang.

Since true harmony between Yin and Yang is so difficult, why not try a different approach and take a different path?

Of course, she never actually tried to achieve the balance of Yin and Yang, because from the moment she embarked on cultivation, or rather, from the moment she began cultivating the "Origin Devouring Scripture," she already had a path that belonged only to her.

Her path was destined to be one she had to forge herself, step by step.

For example, right now, those scattered specks of different origins, each successful union...

All of this deepened her understanding of "chaos" and helped her refine the next stage of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art".

"Chaos is not nothingness, but the beginning and the end of all things. It absorbs the source of all paths and transforms into the foundation of chaos..."

In a moment of sudden enlightenment, she gained a profound understanding.

Perhaps only when she devours and refines the alien origins, reaching a trillion, can she truly attempt to evolve chaos. At that time, her body will undergo an unprecedented transformation!

There was an innate primordial chaotic body, which was born naturally, but she could make up for her innate destiny after birth and return to her innate state after birth!

Which is stronger, innate or acquired?

At that moment, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Li Qingjue's Immortal Platform. She had a gut feeling that even in the chaos of the acquired world, one could attain enlightenment.

Of course, this is all on the premise that she can actually evolve and transform into a chaotic entity; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

This road is destined to be extremely difficult and fraught with danger.

It requires plundering the essence of ten thousand kinds of physiques and ancient bloodlines, enduring the backlash of ten thousand conflicts, and constantly experiencing and perfecting the Dharma on the edge of life and death.

She has now traversed most of the ancient roads and fought against many geniuses of various races, but she has only devoured more than five thousand alien origins. She is still far from reaching one trillion.

Even if that number is reached, it doesn't mean that you've truly succeeded; it only means that you've made an attempt at evolution and transformation.

But once success is achieved...

A series of thoughts floated by.

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this desolate starry sky.

Li Qingjue seemed to have transformed into a chaotic stone statue, surrounded by countless strands of chaotic divine light and more than five thousand primordial light points, deducing and perfecting his own Dao and Dharma in a state of deep meditation and enlightenment.

Her aura was sometimes as obscure as an abyss, and sometimes as surging as a starry sea, as if she were in the prelude to a mysterious enlightenment.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Among the myriad strands of chaotic divine light surrounding Li Qingjue, the number of successfully merged alien primordial light points has quietly increased to more than three thousand.

Her understanding of chaos and the refinement of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" have reached a crucial point.

hum...

Suddenly, at that moment.

In a corner of this forbidden ancient road area, which had been exceptionally "cleaned" by the aftermath of the great battle five years ago, the void rippled slightly.

next interest.

A streak of light flashed past at an extremely fast speed.

As they passed through this place, the flowing light and divine glow subsided, revealing an unparalleled immortal figure.

The newcomer wore a light blue palace-style long dress, with a graceful figure, stunning beauty, and an aloof air carrying an indescribable air of nobility and mystery.

However, she is Gu Qingying, the contemporary master of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, who was forced to "wander" in the outer space.

Her breathing was slightly disordered at the moment, and she was clearly not in the best condition.

As she paused briefly, seemingly trying to determine her direction, her gaze inadvertently swept over the area in the distance shrouded in dense, chaotic divine light.

Inevitably, the woman in the black dress in the center of the area came into view.

"Ok?"

Princess Divine Silkworm, who was currently in control of the body, was slightly taken aback.

Her soul, fused with Tianling's, had once read Gu Qingying's memories. Back when the Training Tower was created, she and her spirit pet "Cloud Leopard" had saved a little girl at the bottom of the Training Tower...

However, if that were all, she wouldn't have paid any extra attention to him at the moment, and she wouldn't even recognize the other person whose temperament and aura had changed so drastically.

But about twenty years ago, when it was still the Big Dipper,

Using a secret technique, Tianling used the divine silkworm robe worn by her "cheap nephew" as a medium to discover that the woman had met him in Chixia River.

That interaction between the two, and the woman's use of the formal "you" (您), gave Tianling and herself a hunch at the time.

This woman likely had a very deep connection with the Human Emperor before his "reincarnation".

Based on her age, it's not difficult for her and Tianling to deduce that the time period must have been...

shuh...

Almost at the same time that the Divine Silkworm Princess noticed the woman in the black dress, Li Qingjue also suddenly opened his eyes at the center of the chaotic divine light.

Even after five years of seclusion, she did not relax her awareness of her surroundings.

However, the aura and appearance of this figure who suddenly barged into this place seemed extremely similar to someone she had seen thirty or forty years ago.

However, the feeling she had for the other person now was subtly different from what she had felt back then.

The person is still the same, but the way they look at others, the subtle shifts in their expression, and their overall demeanor have all changed...

Wow!

As the Qi flowed inward, Li Qingjue emerged from his meditative state.

"It's you."

After a brief silence, Li Qingjue spoke.

Her voice was slightly hoarse from prolonged silence, but the coldness and ruthlessness within had largely subsided, replaced by a hint of感慨 and gratitude:

"Thank you for your help back in the training tower."

She remembered that kindness.

If it weren't for the goddess of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and the clouded leopard that she still finds "hateful" because of some things that happened later, she might have already died.
