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

It should be noted that many years ago, outside the forbidden ancient road, countless prodigies from all races who were defeated by him bowed down in worship.

There were countless beautiful women who wanted to offer themselves to him, but he rejected them all.

"senior!"

"Fellow Daoist Tan! Please give us a chance!"

"Teacher Tan!! Goddess Gu..."

Seeing this, anxious shouts came from all around.

Those people were unable to get close due to the murderous aura emanating from the seawater swept up by the waterfall, and they were now jumping up and down in frustration.

Many cultivators felt that this might be the only time in their lives that they would be so close to the creation of the ancient celestial beings. If they missed this day, they might never have such an "opportunity" again!

"Tan Lin!! You seduced me and then abandoned me... Have you forgotten that night? I'm carrying your child!!"

Suddenly, a somewhat attractive female cultivator, in her anxiety and resentment, blurted out a statement that shocked everyone around her.

Upon hearing this, even Tianling, who had initially maintained a calm and collected demeanor, couldn't help but frown.

Beneath her clear, autumn-water eyes, a purplish-gold hue swirled, as if a murderous intent was about to erupt.

However, Tan Lin seemed oblivious to this, and the passage closed quickly after he and Tian Ling entered.

Crash!

In an instant, the magnificent waterfall of essence cascaded down again, and the sword energy roared, shutting out all the noise and greed.

At this moment, only his calm and indifferent voice faintly echoed through the waterfall, reaching everyone's ears:

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; things arise and cease according to their causes, and forcing them is of no use."

He said this to a select few rising stars of the human race who truly possessed a pure and innocent heart.

This action can be seen as a form of feedback to the few causal threads that suddenly sprouted a small number of "fireflies" on the Soul Pearl barrier.

wow...

The sound faded.

His and Tianling's figures had completely disappeared into the depths of the vast Sea of ​​Life Spring.

Immediately afterwards, the overwhelming sword energy engulfed them.

Even now, those scheming individuals lurking in the shadows have not made a move, seemingly having given up on breaking Tan Lin's secret technique.

Unfortunately, even though many people here haven't personally witnessed the scene of Tan Lin wielding an unknown weapon and wreaking havoc that day,

However, precisely because of this, countless cultivators who refused to believe in the superstition lost their lives along the way.

"Yang Qi! You filthy bitch who's been slept with by countless men, how dare you, a withered flower like you, get involved with Tan Lin?"

She's pregnant with his child? You really dare to say that..."

Suddenly, in the silence, a Narcissus woman with thin lips spoke out, her words aimed directly at the female cultivator who had uttered those earth-shattering words.

These words silenced the sea once more.

Outside the Life Spring Waterfall, the expressions of all the cultivators present became strange.

Now that the rightful owner has left, there's no need to continue the charade, so these are most likely the true supporters of that indestructible golden body.

shuh...

At this moment, the female cultivator named Yang Qi glanced over coldly and snorted:

"Who do you think it is? It's you, Shuiwen, you piece of trash. Don't speak so harshly. How much better are you than me?"

Years ago, outside the Golden Ancient Road, someone offered himself as a bedmate but was ignored on the spot. His advances were rejected and he even fell into depravity. How many partners has he had over the years? Do you think I don't know?

Even after all this, you still want to latch onto Tan Lin's coattails...

"You're asking for it!!"

Seeing her hopes of entering the Spring of Life dashed and her past secrets exposed in public, Shuiwen's face darkened.

boom!

Before she finished speaking, she immediately took action.

A dramatic battle suddenly broke out, all because of a single sentence.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

During the great battle, countless streaks of light shot into the sky, all distancing themselves from the two.

During this time, some cultivators couldn't help but whisper and discuss among themselves.

In an instant, the sea of ​​ships returned to its hustle and bustle.

……

at the same time.

Deep within the Sea Eye of Life Spring, essence flows like a waterfall, with drops of full and crystal-clear divine liquid floating around, and wisps of sword energy with different auras crisscrossing within them.

Wow!

Tan Lin, with Tian Ling in his arms, walked through the passage separated by the magical artifact, and suddenly the view opened up before them.

Endless auspicious colors descend, creating a magnificent spectacle.

In the center of the spring, an ancient "stone cave" seems to have taken root here, with a misty glow flowing from the cave entrance. It is the cave where the Six-Eared Macaque once settled.

"This place is indeed mysterious."

Tian Ling's shimmering eyes surveyed the surroundings, and a hint of admiration appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

She could feel the rich Taoist aura here, even stronger than that of the Bitter Sea outside. Moreover, because of this cave, there was no murderous intent to disturb her, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

whoosh...

Tan Lin didn't say much, and led her straight into the cave.

The cave dwelling may not appear large, but it is actually quite spacious inside. It was once a Taoist temple of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao in the outside world, and its layers of space are more expansive than one might imagine.

The walls were engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns, and the floor was paved with warm, smooth jade.

Because the central spring is rooted and connected to this place, it constantly draws in spiritual energy from the outside world, and thus the divine liquid of the Sea of ​​Wheels gushes out from it in this way, filling the air with a misty aura.

Deep within the cave, on the incomparably mysterious Dao platform, two figures sat cross-legged. Sensing the movement, they opened their eyes one after the other.

It was Shao Hanyun and Xiao Liu.

Over the past twenty years, Xiao Liu has fully absorbed the blessings of the relocation and finalization of his spiritual path, enabling him to undergo several leaps and transformations in his life level.

Therefore, it doesn't really matter who sits on this platform right now.

However, since the Dao Platform also has a great benefit of calming the mind, Shao Hanyun, who was trapped in the Divine Forbidden Domain, naturally would not let it go.

"Brother Tan Lin!"

Xiao Liu was the first to jump up, her golden, furry face beaming with surprise.

It has cultivated here diligently for twenty years, and although its cultivation has improved considerably, it has never truly honed its skills alone in the outside world, and its mind is still immature.

Furthermore, staying in one place for too long without being able to go out freely can easily lead to feelings of confinement.

Recalling how she awoke from meditation more than two weeks ago to find the young man, whom she had regarded as both a teacher and an older brother for many years, gone, she felt a wave of frustration and loss, thinking he had simply disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Tan Lin return at this moment, he was naturally overjoyed.

In contrast to her, Shao Hanyun's reaction was much more complicated.

She slowly rose, her red dress resembling blood, her figure alluring and sexy. The vertical pupils in her beautiful eyes first fell on Tan Lin, a barely perceptible hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

But immediately, her gaze shifted to the stunningly beautiful woman beside Tan Lin.

Tianling.

The current ancient princess of the Tianxuan Clan, though possessing Gu Qingying's body to house her soul,

But her innate noble temperament, her graceful demeanor refined by the passage of time, and her stunningly beautiful appearance...

The combination of the three elements created a breathtaking beauty that even Shao Hanyun found stunning.

Especially now, standing side by side with Tan Lin, one of her hands still held in Tan Lin's palm, their posture intimate and natural, as if it were only natural.

Upon seeing this scene, Shao Hanyun was first stunned, and then her heart sank.

Women's intuition is often frighteningly sharp.

Almost from the moment she saw Tianling, she vaguely sensed something.

She was unaware of Tianling's background, but she had heard of Gu Qingying, the current head of the extinct Spring and Autumn Pavilion lineage, who had been famous for nearly a thousand years and whose beauty was renowned throughout the Northern Dipper Domain.

Not only that, she had also "admired" him from afar at his grand banquet years ago.

Later, the other party intimidated and repelled the cultivators of the Feathered Divine Dynasty in the Southern Region, protecting the Xiang family, and soon after, they challenged the Chi family in the Northern Region...

All these factors, along with his relationship with Tan Lin, the immortal being, are no longer a secret.

At least before she defected from the Beidou Divine Cult, the "aunt and niece" relationship between the two had already become widely known in the five regions of Beidou.

But now that she has seen the aunt and nephew standing together, she is 100% certain that it is definitely not the simple atmosphere that should exist between an "aunt" and her nephew.

The occasional eye contact between the two, their gestures, and that subtle, unspoken understanding...

Picking out any one of these points alone is enough to illustrate a point.

shuh...

As if sensing something amiss, Tianling's gaze also fell upon Shao Hanyun.

Compared to the other woman, her gaze was calm, even somewhat profound.

Although she spent most of her time in slumber or resisting the erosion of the divine soul liquid, she still had intermittent experience spanning two eras, along with her divine soul perception at the peak of the Great Sage level.

Almost the instant her gaze fell upon Shao Hanyun, she had already discerned many things.

Her appearance was stunning, her temperament aloof and cold, and her cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Saint King realm, seemingly deliberately suppressing it in search of some deeper breakthrough...

She is most likely a woman with high aspirations.

Of course, none of that really matters. The key is that the other party... has lost their primordial yin!

And then there's the complex look in his eyes when he first looked at Tan Lin...

In a short moment, Tianling had already grasped too much potential information.

rustling... rustling...

At the entrance to the cave, she suddenly grasped Tan Lin's hand in return, her slender, delicate fingertips twitching almost imperceptibly, yet her face still held a faint smile.

She looked at Tan Lin, her voice devoid of any emotion:

"Aren't you going to introduce me?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin remained calm, looked at the alluring woman in red gracefully descending from the platform, and said:

"Her name is Shao Hanyun. She is the former Holy Maiden of the Northern Dipper Sect. She has some ancient immortal bloodline in her body. In recent years, Fairy Shao and I have been inseparable."

With a subtle pause, he took two steps forward, positioning himself between the two women, his voice trailing off:

"This is my... aunt..."

aunt?

Upon hearing these two words, Tianling raised her eyebrows slightly. When she caught a glimpse of a playful glint in someone's eyes, the color of her face flushed slightly.

She knew that the other party was doing it on purpose.

But upon closer examination, it seems one can't really blame the other party; after all, her actions back in that snow valley were truly...

But she has to admit that every time she hears the other person call her "aunt," she feels her heart melt.

"You should know my aunt's identity, Fairy Shao. She is Gu Qingying, the Goddess of Spring and Autumn Pavilion..."

Inside the cave, Tan Lin completed the "handover" of his former lover and his current partner with unparalleled "smoothness."

In introducing Tianling, he used the identity "Gu Qingying".

This is clearly to avoid unnecessary explanations at this time.

After all, the secret of Tianling's survival after being tempered by the waters of the Divine Soul Pool, her merging of souls with the Divine Silkworm Princess, and her certain degree of immortality is too bizarre. At this time, it's better for as few people as possible to know about it.
