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

clatter……

He stood up, and his divine silkworm robe moved without wind.

"Perfect. Let me use the light of tribulation to temper my Dao and see exactly where those flaws lie..."

Tan Lin muttered to himself calmly,

Then he stopped concealing his other auras and instead released his newly broken-through mid-level Great Saint aura without reservation, actively drawing upon the Heavenly Tribulation!

Boom!!

As if angered by his provocative actions,

Above the Bitter Sea in the outside world, the chaotic tribulation light that covered countless miles, accompanied by the indifferent gaze of the nine emperor figures, unleashed the first devastating wave of tribulation lightning!

That was not a bolt of lightning, but a vast ocean of calamity composed of all the myriad principles of heaven and earth.

Wow!

At this moment, the vast ocean completely ignored the obstruction of the Life Spring Sea Eye and poured down on Tan Lin's head through the cave walls!

At the same time, the nine imperial figures raised their hands one after another, each unleashing a wisp of killing light containing the aura of different Dao principles.

Although it wasn't the final strike that brought these beings to enlightenment, the extraordinary killing power emanating from that Dao principle caused Shao Hanyun and Xiao Liu, who were quietly observing from a distance, to turn deathly pale instantly, almost to the point of suffocation.

Especially Shao Hanyun, who had been in the same realm as someone just moments before, felt the sensation even more intensely.

Only now has she realized the gap between herself and someone else, and for the first time, she has deeply and intuitively felt just how amazing that person is!

"What if I..."

Despite the looming threat of hijacking, Tan Lin remained fearless.

Faced with this terrifying heavenly calamity, he still persisted in practicing the newly created "Ten Thousand Self Sutra"!

Only by discovering and confronting the flaws can we gain a deeper understanding of them and then work to correct them!

boom……

The golden sea of ​​light surged, its roar like a tsunami. A wave crashed down, drawing in a portion of the tribulation lightning, which it then obliterated and absorbed using its own myriad laws of self.

And by doing so, he used the secret techniques of the Undying Golden Body lineage to re-temper the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

In the midst of the calamity light, the nine phantom images of young emperors and ancient emperors moved simultaneously, and Tan Lin's figure also truly began to move.

Under the watchful eyes of only Shao Hanyun and Xiao Liu, who were not far apart,

With his tall and straight figure, he delivered a punch!

Myriad Self, Great Seal!

First came the manifestation of my past selves, then the phantom images of my countless selves evolved, countless human figures all unleashing a single punch, ultimately merging into one.

A handprint composed of countless overlapping fist shadows and fist intents swept out, resisting the Emperor's Shadow Killing Light and Thunder.

Rumble... Rumble...

The hijacking was massive, and once it began, it surged forth like waves, one after another, giving no one any chance to stop.

Tan Lin's figure had already left his original position, soaring straight up and actively charging into the sea of ​​lightning, completely merging into the tribulation lightning outside.

His figure flashed by intermittently, multitasking, both hands moving in unison.

With one hand wielding the Myriad Self Great Handprint and the other holding the Five-Finger Fist Sword, supreme sword energy erupted like a divine sword cleaving and piercing through the heavens.

The sword intents combined and changed constantly, resembling a pillar supporting the sky, clashing head-on with the chaotic tribulation light and the killing light of the nine emperor shadows. It shattered some of the oncoming killing intent, but some still directly struck him.

Splash...

Tan Lin was injured and covered in blood. Golden blood dripped into the sky, but was then bombarded by wisps of tribulation light and evaporated into nothingness.

These were, after all, some of the most amazing and invincible beings in this universe throughout history, with phantoms of figures like Lingbao Tianzun and the Demon Emperor appearing among them.

Even with a nine-on-one advantage, despite his brief attainment of enlightenment in his previous life and his powerful transformation and creation of his own fundamental technique in this life, he could only barely defend himself passively, rarely retaliating.

In just a short time, several close calls had already occurred.

After all, it was in its early stages, and the actual power of the unified blessing that Wanwo could manifest was very limited. He had not truly experienced countless lifetimes, so the manifestation of the Great Dao of Wanwo inevitably appeared somewhat "empty" and weak.

However, this is only relative.

In fact, he believes he can easily take on three or even four opponents at once.

But if it's nine against one, then you'll really only be beaten... passively tempering your physical body and magical path.

Boom! !

Amidst the calamity, once again battered and bruised, Tan Lin's gaze deepened. He suddenly took a deep breath and unleashed...

The Three Qi have returned!

boom……

At this moment, subtle, heart-pounding fluctuations arose, and an invisible divine power merged with his true form.

He was confident he could overcome this tribulation, so he didn't waste the fireflies to activate the Soul Pearl, re-condensing his past life's Dao Fruit and the traces of the Dao to achieve a true return of the Three Qi.

Even so, the return of this pseudo-Three Qi still caused his combat power to surge in a short period of time.

Enhanced by forbidden techniques, it's as if the nine secrets have been combined into one.

Tan Lin transformed into a dazzling dragon of light, plunging directly into the deepest part of the sea of ​​lightning, bathing in the most violent lightning tribulation, undergoing the deepest level of tempering and transformation.

The heavenly tribulations were violent, with each wave stronger than the last.

After the Chaos Calamity, came the Five Elements Heavenly Calamity, followed by the Yin-Yang Great Calamity, and then the Four Symbols Immortal Spirit Slaughtering Calamity...

For several days in a row,

Various terrifying calamities that only appeared in ancient books and legends began to manifest.

The nine imperial figures never dissipated, and they even made moves from time to time, unleashing bursts of killing power.

Tan Lin pushed the "Ten Thousand Self Sutra" to its limit.

The process was repeatedly stalled, giving Emperor Shadow the opportunity to launch an attack.

Despite being covered in blood, his mind remained calm. He used the heavenly tribulation as a whetstone to continuously refine the newly created scriptures and fill in any gaps.

wow...

He traversed through the sea of ​​thunder and among the shadows of the emperor.

His body was charred black from repeated hacking, and countless bones were broken.

But it quickly recovered under the immense vitality provided by the ancient tree of life, the profound mystery of the character "者" and the return of the three energies.

Each injury and recovery made his body more resilient, and deepened his understanding of the subsequent insights into the "Ten Thousand Self Sutra" and the flaws in the existing scriptures.

Rumble...

This calamity lasted for seven days and seven nights, and for some reason, the number of days coincided exactly with the number of years he had spent meditating in enlightenment.

outside world,

The cultivators on the Sea of ​​Bitterness went from initial shock to numbness, and finally to terror.

They had never seen such a terrifying and prolonged Great Calamity.

Yes, when they realized that this was actually Tan Lin's Great Tribulation, everyone's emotions were violently fluctuating beyond belief.

The area in the direction of the Life Spring Sea Eye seemed to have become a dead end.

Chaotic energy, lightning, imperial shadows, and the light of various great calamities intertwined, creating a destructive fluctuation that was terrifying even from a great distance.

Finally, at dusk on the seventh day,

After the final pillar of chaotic lightning, infused with the combined power of the nine emperors' phantoms, fell, the sky full of tribulation clouds began to slowly dissipate.

The nine imperial figures glanced indifferently at the area below, then gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

The Life Spring Sea Eye is located within the cave.

The aftershocks of the lightning tribulation gradually subsided.

Tan Lin's figure reappeared.

His body was charred black, his divine silkworm robe was completely shattered, and he looked extremely disheveled, with his breathing fluctuating wildly.

But his spine remained ramrod straight, and his eyes were frighteningly bright, like divine weapons that had undergone countless temperings, their sharpness restrained, yet all the more profound and terrifying.

He succeeded.

Not only did he break through four levels of the Heavenly Realm, but his cultivation also stabilized at the mid-stage of the Great Saint realm.

Furthermore, during the terrifying heavenly tribulation, the four secret realm chapters of the newly created "Myriad Self Sutra" were thoroughly refined.

Although it's still far from perfect.

But its foundation is already extremely solid.

Moreover, with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation, he also had some new ideas for the use of "Three Qi Return".

puff!

Suddenly, Tan Lin swayed and spat out a small mouthful of blood.

The blood was not bright red, but rather tinged with chaotic light and golden glow, with tiny fragments of Dao principles annihilated within it.

"Tan Lin?!"

Upon seeing him cough up blood, Shao Hanyun's expression changed. She instantly appeared beside Tan Lin, supporting him, her bewitching eyes revealing a hint of heartfelt concern and worry.

"How...how is he? Is he alright?"

On the platform, Xiao Liu also approached the edge of the barrier, looking at Tan Lin with the same worry.

Although she was under house arrest, she knew perfectly well who treated her well, and she couldn't possibly feel any schadenfreude at this moment.

"It's alright."

Beside the pool of divine liquid, Tan Lin waved his hand to stabilize his chaotic internal energy, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His voice was somewhat hoarse, yet completely calm:

"The path to enlightenment and the creation of scriptures is never smooth sailing. Heavenly tribulations are merely external tribulations. The newly created scriptures are not yet perfect and have some flaws, which is perfectly normal for injuries to arise in the Dao. They will naturally disappear as they are perfected in the future..."

However, he said it so casually,

However, both Shao Hanyun and Xiao Liu had vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his condition. The terrifying conflict and fluctuation of Dao principles contained in that mouthful of blood were extraordinary.

This is no small matter; it is a wound to the Great Dao. If not handled properly, it may affect the foundation and path of the Dao in the future.

"You always act so calm and collected about everything. Why are you being so stubborn? There are no outsiders here..."

Standing before Tan Lin, Shao Hanyun looked at his pale face and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. As a member of the dragon family, her heart, which was usually cold, inexplicably clenched.

This was the first time in so many years that she had witnessed the other person truly "hurt".

Looking at Tan Lin, a hint of heartache flashed across her stunningly beautiful face, but she quickly concealed it, ultimately transforming it into a reproachful expression reminiscent of lovers:

"It's more important to heal your injuries and stabilize your condition first. Fortunately, you brought the Tree of Life out of the Divine Realm a few years ago. This place is full of life, so it should be able to help you with the initial treatment of your Dao injuries. It shouldn't be a big problem..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin nodded without saying anything more.

Compared to the many trials and tribulations he had experienced in his past lives, these injuries were nothing.

However, he does need to work hard to gradually reconcile the subtle inconsistencies between the flaws in the "Ten Thousand Self Sutra" and his own inner self, and to perfect the sutra one by one so that it can eventually be completely integrated with himself.

All of this takes time.

wow...

He returned to the place where he had sat for seven years, sat cross-legged, and began to draw upon the vast life essence of the ancient tree of life to begin his healing.

Not far away, Shao Hanyun and Xiao Liu watched him quietly. After seeing that he seemed to be alright, they both entered meditation to digest what they had gained from observing his creation of the scripture and his seven days of tribulation.

……

Spiritual practice knows no days or months, and time has quietly slipped away once again.
