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

hum...

For seven years, Tan Lin sat in meditation, his mind never still for a moment.

The Sea of ​​Wheels is the location of the Wheel of Life and the Sea of ​​Suffering. It is the source of life's potential and one of the foundations of spiritual practice.

He intended to start with Sendai when he created the "Ten Thousand Self Sutra," but the first place he should delve into was the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

Time passed,

He established and perfected the general outline for the opening of Sendai, which was an initial glimpse into the scriptures. Then, taking the Daoist charm of the ancient tree of life as a guide and combining it with the inclusive nature of "all selves", he created "All Selves: The Sea of ​​Wheels".

Next up are the three great secret realms: Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation...

The process of creating the scripture was much slower than creating the prototype of "Three Qi Returning," but it was not too arduous. In fact, he had perfected his own Great Dao of Myriad Self beforehand.

All the insights gained before reaching the Great Sage realm are complete; now all that's needed is to sort them out and verify them one by one, which will be a natural progression.

The slowness lies primarily in the fact that it is not merely a form of creation.

Furthermore, he systematized and theorized all his previous insights, forming a path of cultivation that can be followed, so that even if he is reincarnated, he can "follow the map" and cultivate in accordance with the law.

Every word and phrase in this scripture, every circuit of energy circulation, required Tan Lin to constantly and repeatedly scrutinize.

He wanted to ensure that the scripture perfectly aligned with the Great Way of "All Self" and that there would be no conflict between any parts, so that he could continue his practice smoothly.

After all, before this life at Sendai, he had never comprehended such a new path of cultivation, and the methods he practiced were quite different. He had never truly cultivated using this method in the first four secret realms.

Even if one can temporarily deduce through divine thought, it is impossible to achieve the same depth as actual cultivation, and one cannot be comprehensive enough to obtain feedback.

Wow!!

Inside the cave, as Tan Lin entered the creation stage, strange phenomena began to appear beneath the ancient tree of life.

When he created the Universal Principles, his body was enveloped in a dazzling light, as if thousands of illusory figures of "Tan Lin" were sitting cross-legged chanting scriptures. Golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and wisps of auspicious light and radiance descended from the sky.

Splash...

The initial draft of the "All Things in the Sea of ​​Wheels" chapter has been established.

The boundless golden ocean seemed to instantly submerge half of the cave containing a universe within, with towering waves and the divine light of the Wheel of Life shining brightly within it.

The Myriad Self: The Dao Palace Chapter...

When the "All Self and the Four Extremes" chapter is completed...

Tan Lin's limbs radiated boundless light, and four faint, illusory figures extending from his limbs pierced through the heavens and earth.

As the limbs moved, invisible Dao patterns formed an array, faintly exuding a murderous aura.

The Myriad Self: Transformation into a Dragon Chapter...

boom!!!

Rumble... Rumble...

Just as the general outline of the *Ten Thousand Self Sutra* and the four chapters on the Four Mysterious Realms were initially created, interconnected, and forming a preliminary cyclical system,

The entire cave dwelling beneath the Life Spring Sea Eye, and even the spring and waterfall outside, trembled violently!

This is not a simple vibration on the material level, but a resonance and tremor involving the Dao!

Rumble...

Inside the cave, divine laws were boiling, and the Daoist aura of the Heavenly Venerable surged like a tsunami.

At its core, the ancient tree of life radiates a myriad of rays of light, its branches and leaves rustling as if celebrating the birth of a peerless ancient scripture.

The water from the Divine Liquid Pool shot into the sky, then transformed into a shower of nine-colored light.

Right now,

Sitting cross-legged on the other side of the Divine Liquid Pool, Shao Hanyun, who had been disturbed by the strange phenomena that Tan Lin had been causing from time to time over the past year, making it impossible for her to concentrate on cultivation, simply observed from afar and tried to comprehend the profound mysteries emanating from it.

Her beautiful eyes widened little by little, and the look of surprise in her eerie pupils grew even stronger.

"It's undoubtedly a self-created scripture, but this phenomenon is far too astonishing!"

A slight tremor appeared in Shao Hanyun's magnetic voice.

She came from an ancient background and was very knowledgeable, knowing what it was like to create her own scriptures, but those things were nothing compared to the situation Tan Lin was causing at this moment.

Judging from their appearance, they might be pioneering a new path, creating something unprecedented in history!

If that's the case, what an incredible act of defying the heavens!

what does this mean?

This requires absolute confidence in one's own "path" and a profound understanding of the Great Way.

And it is usually only possible to do this when one reaches a very high level and looks back to examine oneself.

And what level is Tan Lin at now?

Is this something that only the ancient supreme beings, or those who are about to attain enlightenment, would begin at this time?

This is just too unbelievable...

Actually, if it's just ordinary self-created scripture, there's nothing special about it.

It should be known that many cultivators in this world possess this ability after they have severed their Dao at the third stage of immortality.

Many people, after feeling hopeless about improving their cultivation, choose to condense their life's cultivation insights into scriptures for future generations and their descendants to learn from and comprehend.

However, the quality and depth of these scriptures in terms of their discussion of the Great Way are mostly quite ordinary, with varying degrees of quality. They have not truly achieved innovation and are unlikely to produce any groundbreaking works.

Throughout history, only those beings at the Great Sage level and above, after summarizing their own paths to enlightenment, created scriptures and teachings that were widely revered as classics by cultivators, and which frequently sparked disputes and scrambles.

Of course, by the time the post-primordial era arrived, even the most prominent sages rarely visited the Burial Emperor Star.

Many cultivators are no longer picky about what they eat; even ordinary, incomplete, single-secret scriptures often lead to bloody incidents among many rogue cultivators.

"My God!! What is Brother Tan Lin doing? Why do I feel like... the laws and principles of this Fanglun Sea are shaking along with him?"

At this moment, Xiao Liu also stopped cultivating on the platform.

She stared in disbelief at the terrifying tides and strange phenomena erupting from the area where Tan Lin was located.

Although her cultivation level was not as high as Shao Hanyun's.

But as a six-eared macaque, with its innate bloodline and incredibly sharp spiritual senses, it could better feel the throbbing originating from the source of the Great Dao.

Shao Hanyun's expression was solemn as she murmured:

"His actions are defying the will of Heaven... and will inevitably trigger a reaction from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, most likely bringing calamity..."

And it was as if to confirm her words.

Boom!!

Inside and outside the cave, countless blinding beams of light suddenly shone without warning!

These tribulation lights, mixed with some purple light, were not just ordinary tribulation lightning.

Instead, it presented a chaotic color, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction and creation intertwined!

Even more terrifying, within that endless chaotic light of tribulation, as time passed, nine vaguely discreet figures, looking down upon the heavens and earth, began to appear.

Although its true form could not be seen, its supreme majesty that surpassed all living beings made the souls of all cultivators on the surface of the Bitter Sea tremble!

"What...what kind of heavenly tribulation is this?!"

"What shadow is manifesting within that light of calamity?"

"Such an aura... which old monster took that step? He's about to undergo the quasi-emperor tribulation!!"

"..."

"Those illusory figures look like the Dao traces of supreme beings that already existed in the world, which were activated by the light of the heaven and earth tribulation, and then manifested here..."

"One, two, three... nine, hiss... nine figures of young emperors?!"

"This is incredible... The aura of supreme artifacts is also emanating from these imperial figures... Could it be that even supreme imperial weapons have manifested?"

"This kind of heavenly tribulation... is simply unheard of!"

Throughout the Sea of ​​Bitterness, whether they were cultivating in seclusion or vying for creation, all were terrified by this sudden and terrifying heavenly tribulation that covered countless miles.

"No, that's not right, that direction is... the Sea Eye of Life?! Is it that indestructible golden body?!"

"What?! It was him?!"

"This can't be right, can it? I saw him come down from the God Realm a few years ago, and his aura was clearly still at the Saint King level..."

"Indeed, even if it is a tribulation, how could it be so sudden, requiring one to undergo the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation all at once?"

"..."

"It shouldn't be him. Legend has it that many years ago, that old ape carried the cave into the spring. It should be that old ape who took it a step further..."

"Really? But I heard from people who have been staying here that they saw the spiritual energy of a cultivator who passed away emanating from the spring many years ago?"

"Who can say for sure about such things? Unless we, undeterred by the danger, get closer and investigate..."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is joking. Even the murderous aura of the swords that occasionally wafts from that spring waterfall is enough to take our lives. How can we talk about going deep into the light of tribulation?"

"..."

On the sea near the Life Spring, among the ancient ships, someone immediately pinpointed the source of the commotion, instantly sparking heated discussions and speculation among the outside world.

Inside the cave,

Tan Lin remained seated with his eyes closed.

However, the aura of his cultivation began to surge wildly the moment the Great Dao of the "Myriad Self Scripture" began to circulate and take shape within his body!

boom!!

The Sea of ​​Wheels, the Palace of Dao, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Secret Realm of Sendai all emitted light one after another, and invisible Dao sounds emanated from them, captivating Shao Hanyun, who was not far away.

click... click...

Finally, at this moment, the water overflowed.

Tan Lin's aura erupted like a volcano, instantly breaking through a critical point set by himself, and soaring forward with unstoppable momentum!

The Great Sage Realm!

The Great Sage Reaches the Second Heaven!

The Great Sage...

The Great Sage, Fifth Heaven!

After years of accumulation, Tan Lin broke through the four levels of the Great Sage Realm in one go!

His cultivation level climbed all the way to the fifth stage of the Great Saint realm, placing him in the middle stage of the Great Saint realm. Moreover, his foundation was extremely solid, without any sense of instability!

The creation of the *Wanwo Jing*

This not only allowed him to systematically summarize his understanding of his own path, but also brought him to a whole new level.

Furthermore, he integrated all his past wisdom and accumulated insights, transforming them into the most solid foundation of his cultivation, which propelled his cultivation level to a natural and explosive increase!

However, at this moment,

He frowned slightly, suddenly realizing a few flaws in his newly created "The Sutra of Ten Thousand Selfs".

Those flaws were minor and barely noticeable; they weren't really a big problem.

However, this sudden discovery, and precisely at this critical juncture, caused his surrounding energy and thoughts to momentarily stagnate, becoming less unified and harmonious.

His cultivation energy, which had been steadily increasing, came to an abrupt halt, briefly freezing at the fifth minor step of the Great Sage.

boom!!!

At this very moment, the tribulation of creation and the tribulation of breaking through realms simultaneously descended upon each other!

"coming!"

Not far away, Shao Hanyun, who had used a secret technique to conceal her aura, changed her expression. She had realized the imperfection Tan Lin had shown just a moment ago.

This situation might not be a big deal under other circumstances, but right now it's...

Swish!

Amidst the flashing light, Tan Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes looked unusually strange at that moment, one black and one white, without any other color. If he appeared in the secular world, he would be enough to frighten some children.
