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

Behind him, his own origin, foundation, and primordial spirit were also annihilating and withering at a terrifying speed.

"..."

……

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, all the cultivators, including those old monsters hiding in the shadows, stared wide-eyed and gaped in astonishment.

They were like ducks with their necks being choked, unable to utter a sound, utterly silent.

The crowd fell silent.

This time, the silence lasted a long time.

Fear and apprehension, like a cold tide, slowly engulfed everyone's minds.

On the sea of ​​suffering, their gazes toward Tan Lin were varied in expression.

The true nature of those two consecutive rays of light was unclear to everyone present.

But that terrifying power, which seemed to freeze time and space and cause all things to wither, has been deeply imprinted in the soul of everyone.

……

"Gudong."

After a long while, someone swallowed, the sound standing out clearly on the still surface of Lun Hai.

"It's...it's happening again...a ray of moonlight..."

"But that...that was a high-level Great Saint wielding an ancient imperial weapon! And there was also a half-step Quasi-Emperor holding a 'Supreme Weapon,' just like that...gone?"

"That ray of clear light was terrifying, it felt like a great emperor was making a move across countless ages! What exactly is that bronze token in the hand of this indestructible golden body?"

"..."

"That fragment... could it be a forbidden artifact left behind by a great master of the Undying Golden Body lineage?"

But... but why is there no fluctuation of imperial or divine aura? Is it because our level is not high enough to detect it...?

"Tan Lin, the Undying Golden Body, this boy..."

"Did you hear what that being said just now? They called the Goddess of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion 'Empress of Heavenly Mystery'?"

"Divine Silkworm Robe..."

"The connection between these two is probably quite significant!"

"..."

In the distance, the first person spoke up, and once the dust settled, the others followed suit.

At this moment, discussions and exclamations intertwined, and the entire Bitter Sea gradually became noisy.

What happened today will surely spread throughout the ancient starry road and across all the myriad realms as quickly as possible after the cultivators leave.

However, this place is isolated from the outside world, and by then, it will likely be many years later.

hum...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an invisible crimson mist surged.

Although Tan Lin ignored the reactions of the people in the distance, he still spared a little time to activate the Soul Pearl's divine power and open the [Perspective of All Causes] to glance at the deep crimson light spot inside the Soul Pearl.

At this moment, on the barrier of the Soul Pearl, countless extraordinary and unique causal lines began to emerge, providing him with a considerable amount of complex and varied fireflies all at once.

These mixed, pitch-black fireflies need to settle.

However, in previous years he had been sweeping through areas along the Human Race Road and the Golden Ancient Road.

Over the years that Mingquan Haiyan has been in seclusion, the accumulated karmic light has gradually transformed into the purest fireflies.

Of the 365 markings on the Soul Pearl, three have just been fully lit up!

The few fireflies that overflowed from the third deep crimson light point then drifted into the fourth deep crimson light point.

Looking back, Tan Lin has been reincarnated for nearly 60 years in this life, and he has already achieved 30% of his initial goal of lighting up a double-digit number of deep crimson spots.

Such speed would have been almost unimaginable in the previous lives.

Of course,

The special causal lines represented by Li Qingjue, Chi Yao, Chi Xuan, and other individuals or groups also played a significant role in achieving such efficiency.

Even disregarding these special factors, his rate of firefly generation in this life surpasses, if not surpasses, that of the early stages of his life as the Human Emperor.

In this life, he truly deserves to be called someone who has attracted attention since birth, shining brightly and stunning everyone along the way.

At the current pace, the "quality" of the causal threads he creates as his cultivation level increases is also rising.

I believe that in two or three hundred years at most, even after accounting for some losses along the way, he will be able to accumulate more than ten deep crimson light spots within the Soul Pearl!

At that time, he may witness the second "transformation" of this Soul Bead.

He was still quite interested in what incredible abilities it might possess, because that might mean he was one step closer to discovering the origin and source of this treasure.

'Unfortunately, the Soul Pearl from my previous life never underwent a transformation, and its capacity to hold causal points was limited; otherwise, during the tribulation of attaining enlightenment in those years…'

Tan Lin's thoughts were in turmoil, and a wisp of his mind withdrew from the [Perspective of All Causes] state.

rustling... rustling...

Outside, he stroked the bronze fragment, now devoid of any sharp edges and riddled with cracks, with his large hand.

The copper rust on the surface of the remnant seemed to have increased, and it was already showing signs of turning to powder.

The two consecutive activations of the contingency plan left over from the previous life have completely exhausted the last remaining power of the previous life within the remnant order.

From then on, the broken token was truly just an ordinary token, no longer possessing any of its astonishing power.

Splash...

Suddenly, perhaps because he used too much force, the remaining token in his hand turned into fine dust and disappeared with the wind onto the boundless sea in front of him.

Tan Lin didn't care at all. He simply turned around slowly and looked at Gu Qingying, whose beautiful eyes were glistening with tears as she gazed at him.

"You're badly injured. I'll take you somewhere to recover first, then we can talk about other things..."

He spoke softly, then forcefully wrapped his arm around Gu Qingying's slender waist.

clatter……

He took a step forward and used one hand to form the magic formula of the Lingbao lineage, which he had obtained from the Six-Eared Macaque.

Wow!

next interest.

A small boat, formed from the essence of the Bitter Sea, naturally appeared on the sea ahead. A man and a woman boarded the boat and headed towards the very center of the Bitter Sea.

During this time, Tianling let Tan Lin put his arm around her slender waist, and her delicate head gently rested on his strong, broad shoulders.

She remained silent, her shimmering eyes glancing upwards at Tan Lin's profile.

At this moment, there was only one sentence she wanted to say most.

A question asked in return what the other person had said to her on the cliff top of Chijiahedao back then.

She wanted to ask whether the person she was with now was still the same person she had loved in the past.

Does the other party acknowledge their Suiren lineage?

He still stubbornly insists that his current life is different from his previous one, and that he is "Tan Lin".

shuh...

The two were boating on the bitter sea.

The gazes of the heroes from all directions lingered fixedly on the scattered fragments of bronze tokens, their light and shadows fading away in the wind.

At this moment, the previously heated discussions quietly subsided.

As the remnant of the decree disappeared, the expressions hidden in those gazes slowly changed.

As their initial fear faded, a restless desire began to stir within them.

The indestructible golden body is indeed powerful, but who among those who have made it this far is truly weak?

In their view, what truly allowed the opponent to roam freely on the ancient road and made all cultivators retreat was that forbidden artifact capable of annihilating any Great Saint.

Now that the forbidden artifact is gone, even the Great Sage level "Goddess Gu" is exhausted and her injuries have not yet healed...

Perhaps they will be able to glimpse the great secrets of these two?

What exactly is it that makes the ancient royal family, wielding the ultimate ancient imperial weapon, relentlessly pursue them from afar?

What has that indestructible golden body gained over the years in the ancient Heavenly Venerable's life spring?

……

For a moment, the atmosphere became subtle and stagnant.

On the small boat, Tan Lin held Tian Ling's waist, his expression calm.

Tianling leaned on his shoulder. Although she was weak, her beautiful eyes had regained some of their sparkle after surviving the ordeal.

At this moment, she could naturally sense the subtle changes around her.

"Suiren..."

She transmitted her voice through divine sense, her voice weak:

"Without that forbidden artifact, those people probably won't let us leave so easily..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin gently patted the back of her hand, indicating that it was alright.

He didn't speak, his gaze simply sweeping calmly around him, nothing causing his deep eyes to linger for even a moment.

Perhaps those people were no different from air in his eyes.

Seeing this, Tianling knew that the other party was confident and had a lot of leeway, and she inexplicably felt relieved as well.

But in that moment of relaxation, she suddenly felt playful. With a slender, jade-like finger, she touched the other person's chest through their clothes and jokingly asked the question that had been on her mind all along:

"Do you admit you're Suiren? If you don't, and still insist you're 'Tanlin'... your 'auntie' won't let you hug her..."

Suiren...

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin was momentarily stunned.

He then remained silent for a moment under Tianling's gaze.

At that moment, thoughts raced through his mind.

Suiren was, of course, him.

But that was only part of him as Tan Lin.

He was Tan Lin from beginning to end.

However, the other party was unaware of these details, and explaining them would be too troublesome.

He admitted that some of his words at the top of the He Dao Cliff of the Chi Family had been too direct and hurtful.

He was unwilling to hurt this woman who, even after a million years, had remained devoted to him.

Thinking of this, he lowered his gaze, meeting Tianling's eyes, and said with a meaningful tone:

"Back then, you didn't have the guts to be my aunt. You took advantage of me when I was born a few years ago, when my consciousness was still hazy..."

So, do you now want me to be Suiren, or Tan Lin?

He whispered, his voice playful yet carrying an undeniable air of dominance.

Upon hearing this, Tianling smiled.

She naturally understood the other party's unspoken meaning. Although there was still a hint of stubbornness in his words, as long as the other party admitted that he was still Suiren, what did it really matter what his identity was in this life?

Judging from the way he looks now, and his domineering aura, who else could it be but him?
