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

Chapter 180: A Shocking Debut

On the ancient ships where Suiren Lianlei and Jiang Wanqing were respectively, among these so-called followers, admirers, and even allies, the two of them were the most outstanding.

One is a young supreme being from the God Clan, hailed by the God Clan as the contemporary God, whose original name was Xin Yao.

He had long, flowing blond hair, eyes like stars, and a face with almost perfect, handsome features. He was enveloped in a powerful divine light.

A divine halo resembling the sun swirled behind his head, his aura powerful yet restrained. His cultivation was similar to that of the two women, both at the peak of the Saint King realm.

At this moment, he was standing not far from Jiang Wanqing, with a warm and confident smile on his face, occasionally talking to Jiang Wanqing in a humorous tone.

His background was undeniable, and his extensive knowledge earned him occasional slight nods from Jiang Wanqing.

But the latter maintained a perfectly appropriate distance throughout.

Xin Yao's pursuit of Jiang Wanqing was obvious to everyone present, not only as an ally.

His background is astonishing, and his own strength is unparalleled among his peers. After defeating the Holy Son of the Ziwei Divine Sect with overwhelming force, he is now regarded by some as one of the most promising people to win the favor of this goddess of the Jiang family.

After all, setting aside certain factors, both of them possess divine bodies in this era. If they were to unite, the continuation of their bloodline would be unimaginably powerful...

Of course, all of the above are just wishful thinking on the part of Xin Yao and some other people.

There is a great deal of disagreement between him and Jiang Wanqing, even just regarding the division and origins of the gods and humans.

Splash...

The two ancient ships sailed closer and closer, until the distance was reduced to several hundred miles.

Suiren Lianlei and Jiang Wanqing's eyes met completely.

Both women had a fighting spirit rising in their eyes, but they did not make a move at the moment.

In fact, the two of them had clashed many times before, and the battles ended in a draw.

Splash... splash...

Soon, in a tense and solemn atmosphere, the two ancient ships passed each other by.

The cultivators on their respective ships secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Many of them were there just to hitch a ride and wait for their chance.

If those two were to fight, causing the ship to be destroyed or capsized, some people of extraordinary background might not be afraid, but they would be left with nothing but tears.

shuh...

At this moment, Suiren Lianlei and Jiang Wanqing finally looked away.

However, the latter's gaze lingered for a moment on a man beside the former, seemingly with a hint of scrutiny.

That person was another young supreme being here, besides the two of them and Xin Yao, whose background and strength were equally astonishing.

He is the contemporary prodigy of the Light Clan, named Guangyuan.

Within sight, its entire body was shrouded in a soft and pure power of light, obscuring its features.

But his every move exudes elegance, and his occasional words seem to be filled with a captivating power.

At that moment, noticing Jiang Wanqing looking at him, he turned to look back, but failed to meet her gaze, as her eyes were fleeting and her attention had already shifted to other things.

Seeing this, he remained calm and indifferent, turning his gaze away without a care. He then tried to talk to Suiren Lianlei beside him again, wanting to discuss the Great Dao with her.

Compared to Jiang Wanqing's "tactful" approach to Xin Yao's goodwill, Suiren Lianlei's actions were perhaps more forceful and direct, perhaps due to her personality.

During this time, she showed no respect to Guangyuan, mostly responding coldly or even directly refusing him.

This made Guangyuan quite embarrassed, but he did not give up and continued to make overtures from time to time.

Whoosh!

At this moment, this sea of ​​suffering is not peaceful, because people often die for various reasons.

After a long period of exploration by the people, the nine "mouths" of life-giving springs have vaguely divided the vast "Sea of ​​Bitterness" into many areas.

These life springs do not gush forth constantly, but rather follow a regular "tidal" pattern.

Every so often, the gushing of the Life Spring will reach a peak, at which time "divine liquid" containing abundant life essence and fragments of magic will gush forth from the spring.

That is a supreme treasure for tempering the physical body, nourishing the soul, and indirectly comprehending the Great Dao of the Celestial Venerable.

Just recently, a small-scale "spring" had just passed.

Although it wasn't the largest eruption in recent years, it still attracted competition from various parties.

Using the unique methods of the Light Clan, Guangyuan employed a secret technique and expended great effort to successfully escape from a dissipating spring.

They obtained three drops of the "Celestial Venerable Life Spring Divine Liquid," which was crystal clear and contained chaotic radiance and immortal aura.

At this moment, seeing that Suiren Lianlei was ignoring him, he held up a jade bottle with three drops of divine liquid floating inside, the aura emanating from it making many people around him envious.

He slowly walked up to Suiren Lianlei, a gentle smile on his face, and handed her the jade bottle:

"Fairy Lianlei, this item will greatly benefit your Human King Body in tempering your blood and consolidating your foundation. I was fortunate enough to obtain it just now, and I am now giving it to you as a token of my gratitude."

Perhaps this can help the fairy take that crucial step, and one day break through the divine barrier and ascend to the Great Saint realm.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent, and countless eyes focused on him.

The three drops of the Celestial Venerable's Life Spring Divine Liquid are of immeasurable value, yet Guangyuan was willing to give them away directly, which shows that he truly admires Suiren Lianlei.

however.

Suiren Lianlei merely glanced at the jade bottle, then shook her head, her voice direct:

"I appreciate your kindness, Fellow Daoist Guangyuan. This item is precious, please use it yourself. My path requires self-cultivation. External things may be good, but they are not necessary."

Although her tone was not harsh, her refusal was clear.

Upon hearing this, the light surrounding Guangyuan seemed to ripple slightly, clearly indicating that he was somewhat embarrassed.

He paused for a moment, but maintained his composure:

"Your resolve is steadfast, fairy. In that case, I will keep this item for now. If you need it in the future or change your mind, you may retrieve it at any time..."

boom!!!

Suddenly, just as Guangyuan was in an awkward position and everyone around him had different thoughts.

A terrifying pressure, vast and immense, far exceeding that of most people present, suddenly descended from the edge of the Sea of ​​Bitterness!

Deng!Deng!Deng!

The aura was like an ancient divine mountain pressing down, or like a vast starry sea hanging upside down.

The immense pressure caused many of the sixth and seventh level geniuses and saints to turn pale and stagger backward on the ancient ships.

Even some great sages and old monsters looked solemn and suddenly turned their heads to look.

Boom!

thump... thump...

At one end of this mythical region, the void at the edge of the Sea of ​​Bitterness rippled, and a towering golden ape figure, carrying a "divine mountain" on its shoulder, stepped into this boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The aura emanating from the giant ape was incredibly terrifying, almost surpassing the level of a Great Sage!

"It's that?! It's that six-eared macaque!"

"Why is it here too? Wasn't it said that its lifespan was nearing its end? Could it be looking for an opportunity to break through its life limit further?"

Someone gasped in surprise.

"What terrifying pressure... even more so than the rumors! And this isn't even a Quasi-Emperor, how terrifying must a true Quasi-Emperor be?"

At that moment, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to this suddenly appearing peerless divine ape, and everyone's eyes were filled with apprehension.

But what shocked them even more was...

On the broad, plain-like shoulders of that golden giant ape, there were actually two figures standing!

…………

Chapter 181 The Strange Movement of the Human Emperor's Banner

One male and one female.

The young man was tall and straight, with flowing black hair, a handsome face, and eyes as deep and unchanging as an ancient pool.

Although his aura was restrained, he possessed a profound and majestic presence that was difficult to describe.

Beside him stood a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress, her figure alluring and captivating, her face exquisitely beautiful, her features exquisitely detailed, and her dark golden eyes sparkling with a touch of natural allure.

They were actually traveling with this terrifying old ape that had a notorious reputation for being ruthless.

Moreover, it seemed that the old ape treated the young man on its shoulder with a relatively equal, even slightly polite, attitude as it moved around.

This discovery caused countless people's pupils to contract and stirred up waves in their hearts.

Who is that person?

Is he yet another extraordinary figure who has emerged from the outside world in recent years?

Even so, without a powerful background, it would be difficult to get this ferocious ape to be so polite...

Everyone's thoughts raced.

They knew that with the arrival of this old ape, the situation here would change dramatically.

Even though people like Suiren Lianlei, Jiang Wanqing, Xin Yao, and Guang Yuan came from powerful clans,

The young supreme beings, who possessed profound backgrounds, wielded powerful artifacts such as the Human Emperor's Banner, or were accompanied by strong members of their clans, all had slightly solemn expressions at this moment.

Because they could tell that the cave on the old ape's shoulder was most likely the Daoist temple of a once extraordinary and supreme being.

The cave may contain supreme Dao patterns, remnants of array corners, or even the cave itself could be used as a powerful weapon for attack!

Think about it, what does it mean that a six-eared macaque with cultivation level almost equivalent to a quasi-emperor, and who also wields a powerful weapon?

"I just hope that this ferocious ape's blood energy has weakened and its ferocity has subsided somewhat, otherwise, if it goes berserk, many people here will likely suffer..."

"He brought this cave dwelling here; he must have something big on his mind..."

Discussions rose and fell throughout the boundless starry sea, countless divine thoughts intertwined, all filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

As they pondered, the young supreme beings of various races, including Xin Yao and Guang Yuan, shifted their gazes from the giant ape to the two figures perched on its shoulder.

He quickly calculated the unexpected changes in his mind.

But at this moment

Just as the golden giant ape descended with terrifying pressure, the figure of the young man wearing the Divine Silkworm Robe on its shoulder arrived at the same moment.

hum!

A faint, almost imperceptible tremor appeared in the ancient "battle flag" that had been quietly floating beside Suiren Lianlei!

The battle banner fluttered without wind, its entire body a dark gold, its surface swirling with wisps of supreme and sacred heroic energy.

The tremor was extremely faint; if it weren't for the fact that Suiren Lianlei had recently been able to establish a preliminary mental connection with the "deity" within the banner, it would have been almost impossible to detect.

This subtle change was enough to shake her to her core!

Since she reached the Saint King realm and received the "Human Emperor Banner" from the Old Man King,

No matter when or where, this banner remained silent, like ancient, cold iron, and the faint divine consciousness within it constantly shifted.

Not only that, every time she communicated with her, it was as if a different deity had appeared inside, requiring her to communicate with it all over again, and the deity never gave any initiative in responding!

Normally, she can only rely on her bloodline and the special nature of the Human King Body to barely unleash some of its power.

But just now!

The moment the six-eared macaque appeared

The divine consciousness within the Emperor's Banner, seemingly dormant for millennia, appeared to be stirred by something unseen.

It actually conveyed a very faint, yet incredibly clear, wave of confusion and bewilderment.

Furthermore, the fluctuations in the deity's consciousness seemed to be mixed with an indescribable, almost instinctive sense of closeness and longing?

Suiren Lianlei could discern that the Human Emperor Banner deity's closeness and longing were not directed at any divine object or supreme creative energy.

That kind of fluctuation is more like a resonance and pursuit originating from the depths of the object itself?
