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

Only a small, ancient blue ship remained on the sea, sailing outwards with the wind and waves.

Rumble!

However, not long after, perhaps due to the strange change caused by Tan Lin and his group entering the spring, the entire Boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness seemed to suddenly tremble.

boom……

immediately.

The "water columns" gushing from the nine life springs in different areas of this place suddenly became thicker and more powerful.

Wow!

A massive amount of life essence mixed with fragments of the Great Dao burst forth, transforming into a shower of light that fell from the sky.

At the same time, when the water column reached an extremely high height,

Gradually, a magnificent "divine bridge" emerged, formed from pure life essence and supreme Dao principles, rising from the sea of ​​suffering and extending into the deep mist.

Some people saw that, on the other side of the divine bridge, the outlines of five vast and boundless continents were faintly emerging.

Many people speculate that that place is probably the "divine realm" formed by the five great divine treasures of Lingbao Tianzun, which have been recorded since ancient times within their respective clans and life traditions!

"The divine bridge has appeared! After thirty years of waiting, the path to the divine realm has finally been revealed!"

"The elixir of immortality, here I come!!"

"..."

The fountain of life gushed forth, and a divine bridge was built, leading directly to the other side of the gods.

In an instant, all the cultivators in this sea of ​​suffering were in an uproar!

This is truly a case of losing one thing but gaining another!

Everyone's eyes turned red, and they no longer cared about anything else. Since they could not enter the Sea of ​​Life, no one was willing to let the opportunity to reach the Divine Realm slip through their fingers!

boom……

One by one, cultivators displayed their supernatural abilities, rushing towards the divine bridges, eager to be the first to enter the legendary "Divine Realm" continent where the elixir of immortality resided.

They are vying for another possible portion of the Celestial Venerable's legacy, as well as endless creation.

And at this very moment.

Tan Lin, Shao Hanyun, Lao Yuan, and Xiao Liu, who caused all of this, are now in the "Sea Eye" of the Life Spring, an unimaginable and strange space.

This place is not pitch black or deathly silent; instead, it is filled with a hazy, chaotic light.

All around is the "divine liquid" that is constantly filled with the vital energy of life, and above is the "spring" outlet from which the vast waterfall flows back.

Here, countless "divine liquids," condensed from the purest essence of the supreme cycle of rebirth and fragments of the boundless Great Dao, float like stars in the chaotic light.

It floats gently around, exuding an alluring fragrance and boundless energy.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that these divine liquids are all tainted with a trace of imperceptible, yet deadly killing intent that can be fatal once it enters the body!

If one were to rashly consume and refine it, one's primordial spirit and foundation would likely be instantly shredded from the inside out by that unparalleled killing intent.

shuh...

Looking further into the chaotic sea of ​​light, Tan Lin and his companions could vaguely see four blurry sword shadows.

And there was a mere outline of a formation diagram with an imprint, quietly sitting here, emanating a terrifying aura that, if unleashed, could annihilate all the myriad paths of the heavens!

Those are some of the mythical artifacts of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter!

"This is the core of the life spring of the ancient Celestial Venerable? It truly seizes the creation of heaven and earth!"

Upon arriving at this place, Shao Hanyun felt the rich and pervasive spiritual energy and Daoist charm. She took a deep breath and felt refreshed, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

But she quickly sensed the terrifying killing intent contained in the divine liquid around her, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Boom!

At this moment, the old ape finally put down the cave dwelling on his shoulder.

Amidst the trembling of the cave, endless auspicious light emanated, and upon landing, wisps of Dao principles began to emerge, seemingly resonating at a deeper level with the entire Life Spring.

Countless Dao patterns emerged spontaneously, flowing and swirling around the cave like tadpoles.

The cave dwelling is rooted in this place, integrated into this chaotic sea of ​​light, as if it had always existed here.

click...

next interest.

The cave's entrance was wide open, revealing a small world within, where celestial mists flowed, auspicious energy flowed in thousands of strands, and the Daoist chants grew ever more profound.

"Little Six, sit in the center of the platform, calm your mind and comprehend it. How much fortune you gain depends on yourself."

The old ape solemnly addressed the little macaque inside the cave.

Upon hearing this, the little six-eared macaque became unusually well-behaved, knowing that this was a tremendous opportunity and she couldn't act recklessly. She immediately sat cross-legged on the platform at the core of the cave, closed her eyes, and concentrated.

Wow!

In an instant, the endless essence and Daoist charm permeating the spring space, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converged towards the cave, especially the Daoist platform where the little six-eared macaque was located!

Her small body was enveloped by chaotic light and the laws of the Dao, and her aura began to rise at a visible speed. Finally, after reaching a critical point, she began to transform!

Outside the cave, the old ape looked at his granddaughter, who was enveloped in Daoist energy, and a look of kindness and relief appeared on his furry face.

After a moment, he slowly turned around, looked at Tan Lin and Shao Hanyun, and said solemnly:

"Young friend, girl, although the divine liquid here contains boundless potential, it is all tainted by sword energy and killing intent, and cannot be directly refined."

This cave dwelling of mine is a legacy of the Celestial Venerable. It can absorb the essence of this place and transform it into a portion of pure Daoist charm and vital energy.

"You two need not be so polite. You can also cultivate in the cave. I'm sure you'll gain quite a bit there. As for these divine liquids..."

With a wave of his hand, a suction force surged forth, instantly drawing in dozens of fist-sized drops of divine liquid, as dazzling as stars, which floated in front of Tan Lin and the other person.

"These divine liquids seem tempting, but because of their 'drawbacks,' they are actually quite useless. Trying to remove the murderous aura from them would be a long and arduous process, which would be much more difficult than..."

"Of course, if you two possess special methods or treasures that can easily refine and purify the killing intent within, then disregard what I said."

Tan Lin deeply appreciated the goodwill the other party was trying to express, and bowed slightly in response to their enthusiasm.

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and gathered the divine liquid that the old ape had collected into his sleeve.

These divine liquids are of immeasurable value, greatly benefiting him in refining his indestructible golden body, nourishing his vital energy, and even enabling him to comprehend the Great Dao of the Celestial Venerable of the Spiritual Treasure.

As for purifying the murderous intent within, he has his own plans.

"Thank you senior..."

Beside her, Shao Hanyun also gave a graceful bow, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she withdrew the ready-made divine liquid that was floating towards her.

The old ape nodded, said no more, and walked straight into the depths of the cave, where he sat cross-legged near the core platform.

Although he was the one who actually moved the items, he did not compete with Xiao Liu for the good fortune of settling into the cave. Instead, he activated his profound skills on his own, attempting to activate the deeper levels of the Great Dao Laws within the entire spring space.

His purpose in making this trip, besides securing a tremendous opportunity for his granddaughter and laying an unparalleled foundation for her cultivation, was...

He himself also wanted to take advantage of this place of supreme fortune to make a final breakthrough and knock on the door to becoming a quasi-emperor that had blocked him for thousands of years!

He was nearing the end of his life and his time was almost up. After making all the necessary arrangements for this trip, he had originally intended to put himself in a "death situation" in order to survive.

He placed his cave dwelling here, giving the greatest opportunity to his granddaughter, while he himself would make a final stand in the core of the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels!

If successful, one will reach the Quasi-Emperor level and continue their cultivation journey.

If defeated, then sit and die, and all will be in vain!

……

Five years passed slowly in the core of the Celestial Venerable's Life Spring, which was almost completely isolated from the world.

Inside the cave, Xiao Liu was enveloped by a massive amount of Daoist energy and life essence gathered from the cave's "foundation."

The innate patterns and principles of the Dao transformed into a cocoon of light, within which she underwent a profound transformation, her aura rising steadily.

Near the Daotai, Tan Lin and Shao Hanyun were also cultivating.

The former inhaled and exhaled chaotic light and the laws of the Heavenly Venerable, tempering his indestructible golden body, and occasionally gazed at the four killing swords and the phantom of the array in the distance, comprehending the profound mystery of the character formation contained within.

He meticulously analyzed the mysteries of character formation, further perfecting his understanding of the myriad self and deducing his own path of cultivation, steadily improving his abilities.

Unfortunately, the array diagram was just a phantom; the actual object was not here, so the degree of the character combination secret he completed was very limited.

In his past lives, during the time of the Human Emperor's growth, he was unable to delve deep into this spring. The incomplete secret of the character formation he obtained was acquired through "soul searching" after defeating some ancient clan prodigies.

'We still need to travel to that Five Internal Organs Continent to see if we can get our hands on the array diagram...'

After a day of practice, Tan Lin's thoughts were in turmoil.

However, although I must go to the Five Internal Organs Divine Realm, not now.

He still has insights to gain here. He didn't look back to learn from and comprehend the Dao of Lingbao Tianzun in his previous life, but he doesn't want to let it go this time.

In particular, the other party's "dismemberment" method of achieving immortality, although undesirable, still has some merits that he should carefully study.

For example, the profound mystery of "dividing and then recombining" derived from the secrets of character formation has greatly inspired him to draw inferences from other cases and understand his own path...

As I thought about it,

Tan Lin's deep gaze fell upon the four killing swords outside the cave, but he knew that the opportune moment had not yet arrived, and the time was not right for him to take these killing weapons with him.

Actually, upon closer reflection, it's quite ironic. Such a weapon, while useful to him, cannot be taken away. If he returns after achieving enlightenment, it will no longer be of much significance.

Perhaps this is simply a matter of timing and fate.

He wasn't a big believer in fate at first, but the existence of the Soul Beads made him sometimes ponder this question deeply.

The origins and history of this treasure, and even some of the possibilities involved...

hum...

As his thoughts drifted, a sudden tremor in his Dao heart sent a chill down Tan Lin's spine.

He stopped his wild thoughts.

Just now, his thoughts suddenly wandered, wondering if every step he was taking now was originally arranged by the source being that created such a treasure as the Soul Pearl of All Causes.

As it turns out, this idea is very dangerous. If one is not careful, at best one's Dao heart will be unstable, and at worst one's life will be destroyed and one's Dao will be extinguished.

Wow!

Tan Lin collected his thoughts and then silently activated the Soul Bead, opening the [Reverse·Perspective of All Causes].

Crimson mist swirled around his soul as he checked Tian Ling's current location.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the fact that Tianling's location is almost constantly moving,

As he entered this forbidden ancient path area, he crushed half of the Moon White Jade that Tian Ling had given him when he came to the top of the Chi family's Dao Cliff.

He crushed the remaining half of the unpolished jade before sinking it into the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable's Life Spring.

In this way, Tianling should realize what's going on and come here to "go both ways" with him.

Otherwise, his previous method of traversing the starry sky to locate people meant that he was unlikely to encounter them in the short term.

Because the other party is being chased, they can't stay in one place and wait for him indefinitely.

In this situation, the only option is for him to arrive at this forbidden ancient road first, then provide his coordinates so that the other party can come and meet him.

hum...

Crimson Mist Reaction, under the [Reverse All Causes Perspective] state.

Tan Lin discovered that compared to the last time he checked, Tianling was not only not getting closer to this place, but had actually gotten much farther away.

Seeing this, he magnified the amount of firefly energy consumed over the years, which had now filled the second deep crimson dot.

At this moment, he pushed the power of the Soul Pearl to its limit and took a closer look at the scene at the end of the causal anchor point of the Heavenly Diamond.

'Worried about her intentions being discovered by her enemies... perhaps she's trying to mislead them indirectly?' She doesn't seem to be in a hurry...

Seeing that the other party was unharmed, Tan Lin's eyes flickered.
