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

He could see that the thick, complex causal line of the Human Emperor's Palace had branched out into many branches, and the anchor points at the ends of these branches were sitting at various key points of the great formation, and now they were moving.

It's estimated that they need to fully activate the grand formation and use that mysterious fluctuation from earlier to pinpoint his exact location.

Tan Lin didn't even need to think about it. The special nature of this formation was probably due to those guys from the forbidden zone who had shared his essence and blood back then, and it was used to specifically examine his creations.

Only those guys have the time and energy to study something that would be considered useless in other areas, such as combating the enemy.

For those who exist, the effort they expend is undoubtedly worthwhile.

Because if we can capture him, there is a good chance that we can discover an alternative path to immortality!

They were all unparalleled in their time, invincible beings in their respective eras, so they certainly couldn't be fools.

Nearly a million years have passed, but the hunters of yesteryear have not truly perished. Combined with the clues to a great secret they gleaned from him back then, those guys have been able to deduce a few clues and the truth.

hum...

In the "Perspective of All Causes".

Tan Lin silently watched as the line connecting the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the Primordial Ancient Mine, and even the distant Mars in the outer realms went from half-bright to bright at the same time!

It was as if, in the darkness, some dormant beings were showing a faint sign of awakening.

Especially in the direction of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the black line connecting to the Celestial Venerable of Freedom showed the most obvious fluctuations.

"Is it almost certain that I'm still alive?"

Tan Lin's thoughts raced, and his emotions remained completely unaffected.

He knew all along that this was a trap.

However, in order to restore his remnant soul and thus be able to reincarnate, he must also jump down; it's just a matter of sooner or later.

Those guys in the restricted area might have just made a few arrangements over the years out of a sliver of possibility and suspicion, but this unintentional move really hit his weak spot.

However, those who had calculated everything could not have foreseen the changes that had occurred to the Soul Pearl.

hum...

Suddenly, the deep crimson light in Tan Lin's palm burst into bright light.

But after a moment, the light gradually diminished at an imperceptible rate.

【Reverse Path of Causes】!

The crimson mist completely enveloped and permeated him.

At this moment, he is Scarlet, and Scarlet is him!

shuh...

In the next instant, his entire remnant soul vanished completely within the divine perception of the scroll deity, as if it had evaporated from the world.

"Why...did I suddenly wake up? Is it because the barrier between this training tower and the outside world was broken?"

In the painting, the female deity suddenly looked bewildered.

It had forgotten the scenes of seeing Tan Lin's remnant soul, and even the fragment of his true soul that had accompanied it for nearly a million years.

However, in reality, Tan Lin remained in front of it, seriously considering whether or not to take it away.

He felt that it was time to start preparing for his next rebirth.

Reincarnated, everything will start anew. Resources and treasures are part of his plan to quickly return to his peak in his next life.

…………

"Did it bite the bait again?"

Outside the tower.

Within the Xuanxiao Nine True Soul-Slaying Array, the Human Emperor Palace Master opened his eyes.

Sensing the unusual movement of the formation, the expression in his eyes was extremely complex, but what was hidden deep within was a hint of disappointment.

After all, in any sense.

Those were all figures who, in the ancient times, led the long-weakened human race, including the Big Dipper and even the ancient roads, to strike hard against the ancient races and almost rebuild the human race's former glory.

In the late ancient period, the Human Emperor's Palace, which protected him during his early rapid growth, was also built by him.

They made significant contributions to the human race.

It was for this reason that the person who had always called himself "Human King" was given the title "Human Emperor" by his soldiers and the creatures of many human life-bearing places on the ancient road after breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm!

"Now, I suppose you're doomed, aren't you, Human Emperor..."

Gong Xuan slowly stood up from the core of the formation and sighed.

He was human too...

However, with several supreme beings from forbidden zones, including the Carefree Celestial Venerable, pressing down on him, he was never truly in control of his own destiny.

Especially after witnessing a dark and turbulent period, he dared not disobey the supreme decree!

It should be known that even the Human Emperor perished at the hands of the Supreme Being. It's not shameful for him to serve as the Supreme Being's dog in order to survive!

…………

Wow!

In the forbidden zone of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, a gray-robed Taoist priest holding a jade bottle, driven by the true form, had already furrowed his brows and was filled with doubt and surprise before even stepping out of the forbidden zone.

The Xuanxiao Nine True Soul-Slaying Array was his creation; he held the array's master plate.

However, judging from the fluctuations transmitted from the sub-plate at this moment, the mysterious movement from before seemed to be just a fleeting moment.

If it weren't for the undeniable traces of the array's unusual movements, he would have almost doubted his own skills.

"What exactly happened?"

Surprised and doubtful, he took a step forward, and millions of miles of mountains and rivers shrank to an inch beneath his feet. After a few steps, he arrived beside Gong Xuan, the master of the Human Emperor Palace.

At the heart of the formation, Gong Xuan's vision blurred, and when he saw who it was, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt his knees inexplicably go weak.

"You...you came in person?!"

However, he was, after all, a Great Saint peak expert who had one foot in the Quasi-Emperor realm. Although he was still far from being a match for the person in front of him, he would not kneel down unless the Supreme One himself came.

…………

At the same time.

In the Undying Mountain, the avatar of the Undying Emperor's faith also displayed a similar expression.

His true form was reborn on the ancient star Yinghuo, and he could only act as his proxy.

Unexpectedly, a guy who should have been dead for nearly a million years could make him feel so troubled.

…………

Half an hour ago.

The first level of the Training Tower, outside the Yin-Yang Stone Forest.

Li Qingjue was in an unprecedented predicament.

The beast that had previously reached the Divine Bridge realm had died under her enlightenment, but this was like lighting a fuse.

Deep within the stone forest, massive rocks gleaming with an unusual light burst open.

Within the vast cloud of smoke, pairs of eyes, some crimson, some dark blue, lit up one after another, accompanied by low, guttural roars.

In just a few breaths, a total of seventy or eighty strange beasts of different shapes, but all exuding the aura of the Divine Bridge, surrounded her from all directions, blocking all her escape routes!

Among them, there were even five leaders of the peak-level alien beasts from the other shore.

These strange beasts lay high on the giant rocks of the stone forest, looking down at Li Qingjue's petite figure with a mocking gaze.

Given their status and strength, they only needed to watch that mere human with the cultivation level of the Life Spring collapse under the siege, and then wait for their beasts to offer up their flesh and blood; they didn't need to get involved themselves at all.

Roar!

A strange beast resembling a tiger, with ice spikes on its back, broke away from the group and pounced on Li Qingjue.

boom……

On the other side, a giant python, entirely crimson with a single horn on its head, swung its long tail, unleashing divine power that sent molten lava-like heat lashing out in an instant.

Blood trickled from the corner of Li Qingjue's mouth.

Having just crossed a minor realm and killed that strange beast, she had already exhausted herself greatly and was now at her limit.

She had only embarked on the path of cultivation for less than a year, and her mortal body had only undergone one transformation. It was already remarkable that she could kill enemies of a higher level.

Facing the current siege, she really sees little hope of escaping this desperate situation.

Bang!

Her petite figure flew backward, but in doing so, she managed to dodge the surging attacks of the other strange beasts.

In the desperate struggle, Li Qingjue's injuries worsened.

The intense pain, the depletion of her divine power in the sea of ​​suffering, and the excessive blood loss caused her consciousness to begin to blur, and a sense of bitterness and shame inexplicably welled up in her heart.

"I've only been here at this training ground for less than half a day, and I'm already going to die... I'm so useless, I've disgraced my master like this..."

Unbeknownst to her, the first level of this training ground was originally intended for the lowest-level warriors of the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm in the ancient times to hone their skills through battle formations; it was a multi-on-multi trial mode.

She had only recently advanced to the Life Spring Realm, yet she had already faced so many strange beasts alone. It was a stroke of incredible luck that she was still alive.

click... click...

The Yin-Yang Millstone spun above Li Qingjue's head, and the Yin and Yang energies it stirred up condensed into a divine pattern barrier, helping her to hold on until now.

But now, the barrier has shattered during the siege.

bang...

While she was weakened, a strange beast took the opportunity to pounce on her and swung its sharp claws, leaving a spray of blood on her right arm.

Click!

Dozens of divine beasts attacked, and the Yin-Yang Millstone was shattered under their onslaught.

"puff……"

Li Qingjue was immediately attacked by the backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But her talent was truly terrifying; at this moment, she gained new insights into the Yin-Yang Great Grinding Scripture, and her cultivation improved.

hum...

A soft murmur emanated from her sea of ​​suffering, and a surge of new divine power welled up from the spring of life.

Despite being severely injured, she managed to reassemble her divine runes at the limit, the Yin-Yang millstone reappeared, and her energy doubled!

However, given the current situation, this is merely a drop in the ocean.

More attacks followed from all sides, and the five otherworldly beasts personally joined the fray. Li Qingjue's millstone divine runes fluctuated violently, and it looked like it was about to shatter again.

She coughed up blood repeatedly, her face ashen.

At the critical moment.

Uh...

A clear, resonant roar pierced through the clouds above this realm.

Bang!

bang... bang...

Under the power of a demigod, all the hundred or so strange beasts were reduced to dust.

Immediately afterwards, petals fell from the sky, and Taoist chants lingered in the air.

A white figure darted out like lightning; it was the clouded leopard, carrying its "master."

On the back of the clouded leopard, the goddess Gu was still veiled in a light gauze, but even so, her stunningly beautiful and hazy appearance still brightened up this dim world.

Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her eyes were like autumn water, and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of poignant beauty.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a bright and beautiful young girl..."

At that moment, her shimmering gaze fell upon Li Qingjue's blood-soaked body, and a hint of emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes.
