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

She uttered those four words softly, then without hesitation, turned to look at Suiren Lianlei and nodded:

"Let's go, young Lianlei. We're going the same way, so we can travel together..."

Upon hearing this, Suiren Lianlei bowed to Tan Lin again, and then, together with Tianling,

Whoosh!

whoosh...

They transformed into two streaks of light, passing through the remaining divine energy barrier erected before the Emperor's Banner, and sped off towards the direction beyond the divine realm, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Tianling understands very well that the short separation is for a longer companionship.

The journey is long, and only by becoming strong can we traverse the long years and walk side by side with our loved ones for a long, long time.

Beside the Pool of Divine Souls

Tan Lin stood there, watching the two streaks of light disappear.

At this moment, the Emperor's Banner was completely taken away, the divine energy barrier slowly dissipated, and the mountain wind blew in, lifting a few strands of hair on his forehead.

Within his sleeves, a faint nine-colored glow flickered, and the ancient tree of life emitted a urging vibration.

This is an attempt to re-establish roots in this "blessed land" and draw nourishment from it.

The Immortal Slaughtering Formation remained quietly hidden in the corner of his sleeve, as if it would not make the slightest move unless he actively communicated with it.

shuh...

After a long while, Tan Lin withdrew his gaze.

He gazed towards the distant sacred mountain where the protective divine light had returned, then looked down at the deep, tranquil Divine Soul Pool at his feet.

His figure then soared into the sky once more, drawing the attention of many cultivators nearby.

boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his sleeves fluttered, and a wisp of divine power from the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram burst forth.

In an instant, a reverse passage leading to the "lower realm" of the Wheel Sea appeared out of thin air.

clatter……

next moment,

Tan Lin took a step forward, and amidst the confusion of many cultivators, returned to the Sea of ​​Wheels and disappeared above the Divine Realm.

…………

At the same time.

"The Lower Realm" is the vast and boundless sea of ​​suffering.

This desolate sea, resembling the ancient Weak Water, was described as so still that even a goose feather couldn't float and reeds would sink to the bottom.

Not long ago, the ancient Celestial Venerable's array diagram triggered the four killing swords of the Life Spring, causing a great commotion and stirring up waves all around.

As a result, after a brief period of commotion caused by the influx of cultivators from all sides entering the area over the past year or two, the area has gradually returned to its former tranquility.

During this period, only a few with a strong desire for killing frequently clashed with others, vying for the limited opportunities available.

Boom!

Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar, the silence was shattered once again.

Above the Bitter Sea, in the deep, dark sea of ​​stars, at the location of the invisible portal connecting to the "Upper Realm" divine continent, the void began to violently twist and tremble without warning.

Then,

A colossal pillar of light, piercing through both the upper and lower realms, appeared out of thin air.

The pillar of light was a thousand feet in diameter, filled with chaotic energy, with countless profound patterns flowing and flickering within. Furthermore, an unparalleled killing intent that made even the primordial spirit tremble was faintly visible.

At this moment, even the slightest leak of energy caused the vast sea of ​​suffering below to surge with towering waves and raging black water!

"What...what is that?!"

"A passage! The passage to the realm of the gods has reappeared?!"

"Could it be that the ancient records are wrong, and there are other options besides waiting for the springs to converge and form a divine bridge through the divine realm?"

"..."

"No, something's not right! This aura... is terrifying! This passage is definitely not simple; be careful, something might happen here!"

A pillar of light suddenly appeared, stretching across the sky and earth.

Throughout the Sea of ​​Bitterness, whether one is struggling to escape on an ancient ship on the surface...

Whether they were cultivators resting in some quiet corner or not, they were all drawn to the commotion.

At that moment, they all looked up at the sky, their faces filled with shock.

That pillar of light piercing through heaven and earth resembled the celestial light guiding immortals to the celestial realm in the tales of the cultivation world, or perhaps a sword capable of destroying the world.

The oppressive aura emanating from it caused many cultivators with weaker cultivation levels to collapse onto the deck of the ancient ship, trembling in fear.

At this moment, even a powerful being at the Saint King level felt a surge of blood and energy, and a tremor in their soul, as if they were facing an ancient immortal king who had awakened.

"Look!! That beam of light tunnel has stabilized! It looks like someone's inside?!"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

Within the passage where chaotic energy and Dao patterns intertwined, a tall figure could be faintly seen slowly descending along the pillar of light.

Its body was shrouded in a hazy halo, obscuring its true appearance.

But every step it took seemed to resonate with the space around it, triggering a terrifying aura of roaring sea of ​​suffering, which could not be faked.

"Could it be that an unparalleled expert has descended from the God Realm?!"

"Who is this person?! How can they travel between the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Realm of Gods so calmly..."

"Hiss... This power... Could it be that the 'god' from the divine realm recorded in ancient texts has personally descended upon this area?"

Looking into the distance, some people gasped, their voices trembling.

In their view, the one with such power and who could descend from the direction of the divine realm was most likely the "god" who had ruled the divine realm throughout the ages.

"No! Carefully sense that energy..."

"Overbearing and utterly annihilating, this is so similar to the killing aura that emanated from that spring earlier..."

A Great Sage from the Eternal Starfield stared intently at the wisps of sword energy permeating the passage, his pupils suddenly contracting as he cried out in disbelief.

"Sword energy?! Could it be that a tremendous change has occurred in the Divine Realm? Has even the legendary ancient Celestial Venerable's array diagram been activated?!"

Upon hearing this,

The people around were even more shocked upon hearing this.

The sword formation of the Celestial Venerable of the mythical era, who created the word puzzle, is so fearsome that it has shaken the ages. Legend has it that only the Four Supreme Beings can defeat it; this is a rumor that has been passed down since the primordial era.

Now, that array diagram seems to be manifesting energy in the divine realm passage, the significance of which is something one dares not ponder.

boom……

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and speculation,

The exit of the passage is now firmly secured above the Bitter Sea.

The terrifying pressure and sword energy subsided slightly, no longer so oppressive, but the sense of oppression originating from the level of life itself still remained.

"An opportunity! An incredible opportunity! The divine passage to the divine realm has reopened, and the elixir of immortality is right there..."

At this moment, some cultivators, blinded by greed, saw that the passage was stable and the pressure had slightly decreased, and could no longer restrain themselves.

Especially the old monsters whose lifespans were nearing their end and whose vital energy was declining, their eyes now blazed with a terrifying light.

The elixir of immortality, and even the many wonders of the divine realm, are their only hope for extending their lifespan!

"I'll risk it all! My lifespan is running out. Rather than die here, I'd rather fight for a chance to live!"

An old man, shrouded in a black robe and exuding a decaying aura, roared.

It transformed into a streak of black light and rushed headlong towards the newly stabilized entrance to the passage, disregarding everything else.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

"Fellow Daoist, wait! There seems to be something wrong with this passage!"

A whooshing sound rang out, and someone noticed something was wrong and called out to warn others.

Because although the sword energy permeating the passage had subsided,

But it still gives people an extremely dangerous feeling, and the direction it runs through seems to be against the flow?!

however,

The well-meaning person's reminder came too late.

The old man in black robes and several other cultivators, also driven by greed, had already rushed to the vicinity of the passage entrance.

Just as they were about to touch the pillar of light,

hum!

The mysterious patterns that had been slowly flowing on the barrier of the passage suddenly lit up!

Several barely perceptible yet extremely refined killing intents, as if possessing life, spontaneously shot out from the passage barrier!

"Do not!!"

bang...

puff!

Puff... Puff...

The terrified and desperate screams stopped abruptly in an instant.

The cultivators at the forefront, including the black-robed elder, didn't even have time to react defensively.

Their protective divine light, their personal magical artifacts, and everything else vanished the moment they came into contact with the sword light's aura.

Like snow melting silently under the scorching sun, it vanishes without a trace, leaving not even a speck of ash, as if it had never existed.

quiet!

A deathly silence instantly enveloped this boundless sea of ​​suffering.

At this moment, all the cultivators who witnessed this scene, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads, their hair stood on end, and their scalps tingled.

what happened?

The slight aftershock that spontaneously rebounded from the barrier of the passage easily obliterated several old cultivators who were at least at the Saint King level.

Several of them couldn't even let out a scream.

This passage is not meant for human use!

It's a dead end!!

It's a dead end!

"this?!"

"This pillar of sword energy is a reverse...reverse passage! It really is leading from the Divine Realm to this Sea of ​​Wheels...you can only go down, not up!"

In the silence, an old cultivator who was well-versed in the Dao of Void spoke with a trembling voice. He had finally seen through the situation and his face turned ashen.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, along with a sense of regret, loss, and surprise.

If it truly is a one-way passage, then one can only descend from the realm of gods.

So who was the figure that was faintly visible in the beam of light just now?

Could it be that a dramatic change has occurred in the Divine Realm, and an unparalleled powerhouse has broken through the Divine Realm and is now descending to the lower realm?

clatter……
