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

This secret platform can ignore all divine restrictions below the level of an Emperor-level array, forming a spatial passage that is temporarily isolated from this world.

Once activated, it travels directly to a former secret location of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan, tens of millions of miles away.

It can obscure the secrets of heaven, making its aura hidden and extremely difficult to track.

In his previous life, there were times when the other party would cross over here silently. As the master of this training tower, he would be kept in the dark if he did not investigate deliberately.

If this secret platform were combined with the quasi-royal array diagram here and activated together, its miraculous power would be even greater.

This was enough to help him ignore the special seal on the soul of the Xuanxiao Nine True Soul-Slaying Array outside the world before some beings arrived.

"When the Primordial Era ended, were you and your people also buried in the strife and turmoil of the prehistoric era...?"

Lost in thought, Tan Lin's remnant soul paused for a moment on the stone platform, a rare trace of sadness flashing in his deep eyes.

When I woke up more than half a year ago.

During that [Perspective of All Causes], he had already guessed that the ancient beauty from the past, the ancient princess Tianling, had passed away.

Because the causal link between them has disappeared.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; the cause and effect naturally dissipate.

The cruelty of the cultivation world is being demonstrated once again.

Even a powerful ancient royal family, after countless years of its ancient emperor's ascension to the Dao, could not escape the baptism of calamity and was submerged in the long river of time.

If he didn't have the Soul Pearl of All Causes, he would have been completely dead long ago.

Splash...

The painting on the wall behind me seemed to sense something at that moment, moving without wind, and then slowly coming to a stop.

"Are we leaving the restricted area? It's time to go... The bait has been swallowed; it's time for the anglers to get some exercise."

Without dwelling too much on the sadness of losing a loved one, Tan Lin kept his eyes on the changes in those few suddenly brightening causal lines.

next moment.

Wow!

The deep crimson dot in his palm shimmered slightly.

The effect of [Reverse All Causes Vision] was thus pushed to its limit, completely obscuring all traces of cause and effect he had left in this place.

Then, he activated the secret platform.

hum!

Soon, the stone platform emitted a faint light, and an invisible ripple spread through the space. Tan Lin's remnant soul disappeared from the spot.

shuh...

Almost at the same instant he left, two terrifying divine thoughts forcibly penetrated into the training tower from the outside.

The two divine senses worked in perfect harmony, intertwining like a net that searched every corner of the tower, and within a few breaths they had explored all ten levels of the tower.

Finally, they discovered the underground palace!

Within the outer array's eye, the gray-robed Taoist lightly trembled the jade bottle in his hand, completely merging the mother and child plates of the Xuanxiao Nine Truths Soul-Slaying Array.

Thus, under his personal control, the divine power displayed by the great formation at this moment completely surpassed its previous peak.

"Disappeared? There was only one painting in that underground palace..."

The gray-robed Taoist priest frowned deeply:

"That fluctuation just now was undeniable. How did he escape from the great formation's confinement? If he could leave, why didn't he leave sooner? He only left a split second before we left the forbidden area. His timing was too perfect..."

"Heh, playing tricks..."

Beside him, the Immortal Daoist's face was cold and stern, and at this moment, golden light seemed to flicker in his eyes:

"Perhaps he merely evaded detection but is still here?"

With a sweep of his divine sense and a certain divine eye ability, the Undying Daoist searched again. Finally, his patience exhausted, he slowly said:

"Let's just raze this tower to the ground. Since we can't find him, let the billions of lives inside the tower be buried with him. That way, we can at least do justice to his former status as an enlightened being..."

……

Chapter Twenty-One: Rampant!

Burial with...

As soon as the Immortal Daoist finished speaking, Gong Xuan, the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace who was standing to the side like a servant, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

What are you afraid of?

As if keenly sensing Gong Xuan's emotional fluctuations, the Immortal Daoist glanced at him sideways, then gently patted his shoulder with a large hand:

"Don't worry, you've been quite obedient all these years, so you still have some value..."

"Yes...yes...thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty..."

Gong Xuan forced a smile, not daring to utter a sound in his presence.

Of these two, the former is merely the Dao body of the Supreme Being, while the latter is the faith body of that Heavenly Emperor; there is a difference between them.

At least, he felt extremely terrified standing in front of the Immortal Taoist.

Clang...

At this moment, the gray-robed Taoist put down the mother plate, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

Even with the help of the magic array, he gained nothing.

"Are we really going to massacre everyone here? We haven't even grasped the great secret he possesses yet. If we really kill him, wouldn't it be like trying to fill a basket with water?"

He glanced at the Immortal Taoist and asked.

"Oh? Then, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

The Immortal Taoist smiled insincerely, completely unconcerned.

In fact, the great secret that the "Human Emperor" possessed was no longer something that his true self was so eager to grasp.

The genuine improvement in cultivation, spiritual power, and combat strength achieved through repeated bathing in imperial blood and undergoing constant rebirth is not illusory. This proves that the "path to immortality" that the true body has embarked on is feasible.

In this situation, even if the Emperor's so-called secret were obtained, it would only satisfy curiosity and be icing on the cake.

If Taigu hadn't been worried about his frequent bathing in the emperor's blood being exposed and being hunted down by the emperor, why would he have shared his essence and flesh with those nobodies from the forbidden zones?

"I wonder if your true form is present? With the power of your true form, if you were to make a move, this would surely be a piece of cake..."

His gaze met that of the Immortal Daoist, and the gray-robed Daoist smiled, taking the opportunity to probe.

In this universe, even the supreme being is not omnipotent. The world is so vast that finding someone who deliberately hides is like a mortal searching for a needle in a haystack.

Ever since the end of the ancient era, he had been very interested in the whereabouts of that immortal emperor.

As for the other party being dead?

He simply doesn't believe it.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you jest. Time is a cruel knife; even the mighty can only helplessly endure it. Our true bodies naturally sever themselves, slumbering within rare treasures like Immortal Sources. That's why we are needed to act on their behalf..."

The Immortal Taoist remained calm and composed.

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed Taoist seemed unconvinced, and then slowly spoke:

"Is that so? Then it seems that today's events are..."

boom……

Suddenly, a tremendous commotion erupted from somewhere in the northern part of the Central Region.

Although the signal was quite weak by the time it reached the Southern Region, so weak that ordinary people could not feel it at all, it still made the two people who were "chatting and laughing" freeze!

Because they all knew perfectly well where the commotion originated.

Forbidden Zone...Mount Undying!

Immediately afterwards, a furious roar that shook the heavens and the earth crashed down like a boulder onto the already turbulent surface of the Big Dipper "lake":

"furious!!!"

The angry shouts shook the heavens, echoing from the Undying Mountain, sweeping across the Big Dipper, and then reaching beyond the high heavens.

Countless living beings trembled in fear at the sound, living in constant anxiety.

"Hmm? It's the Stone Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Daoist raised an eyebrow slightly, initially showing some surprise, then narrowing his eyes:

"That man is incredibly audacious! We just came out of the forbidden zone, and he went against the grain and headed to the Undying Mountain? He even attracted those Dao traces; he's deliberately trying to sabotage us..."

Before he finished speaking, without even glancing at the place, he took a step forward, tearing through the void and heading towards the direction of the Undying Mountain.

It was one thing to not know where the other party was before.

Now that the other party is loitering at the entrance of the Undying Mountain, he naturally won't let them go.

Judging from the speed of his reaction, he didn't seem to be truly uninterested in the great secret of the Human Emperor.

The core of the formation, in place.

When Gong Xuan looked towards the spot where the gray-robed Taoist had stood, it was already empty, but the words he had left behind still echoed in his ears:

"Don't release the magic array yet. It's possible this is a feint, a trick to escape the array's confinement..."

…………

Rewind to a dozen or so breaths ago.

Tan Lin's remnant soul continuously leaped through the "passage" via the secret platform.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed the boundary barrier between the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Region, and appeared in a mysterious valley adjacent to the present-day Demon Clan Peak Weasel tribe.

Upon arriving at this place, his remnant soul quickly fled out of the valley and activated the Zhuyin Soul Pearl again from two or three hundred thousand miles away.

The crimson light in the palm of his hand was being consumed more rapidly.

hum...

[Barrier of All Causes] activated!

Considering what he was going to do next, he added a layer of barrier on top of his original [Reverse All Causes Vision] state.

The crimson mist around his body grew thicker and thicker, to the point that even he himself could no longer see his own remnant soul.

However, this time, he did not intend to act solely with this remnant soul or even the incomplete primordial spirit.

He wanted to try whether, with his current incomplete primordial spirit at the Great Sage level and without an origin, he could reshape a physical body that could barely support him.

Having thought of this, he did not hesitate at all.

Boom!

next interest.

He no longer had any reservations. With a wisp of his will, he connected with the traces of his past life and temporarily drew upon a portion of his great power to strengthen his incomplete primordial spirit.

Wow!

In an instant, the subtle laws, divine principles, and laws of the universe manifested here, and under the influence of great power, a massive amount of life essence was swallowed up from all directions.

Within the crimson mist, a mass of flesh and membranes, growing larger with each wriggle, coalesced out of thin air amidst the vast essence.

Half a moment later, the amniotic sac had grown hands and feet, and then a head...

When a layer of skin covered the bloody, mangled body, the spiritual energy and essence of the entire Central Region dropped several levels compared to the moment before.

"what happened?!"

"Has the world undergone a tremendous change? Why is the spiritual energy suddenly so thin?"

"puff……"

"Oh no! The Ancestor has gone mad with internal energy..."

The demon tribes that had multiplied throughout the Central Region were all in an uproar at this moment, as their status and level of understanding were still unable to explore the root cause of the change.

Not to mention them, even the gray-robed Daoist and the Undying Daoist in the Southern Region, separated by a region, could not detect or lock onto him immediately due to the shielding and interference of the [Barrier of All Causes], even if Tan Lin risked connecting with the Dao traces.

They are, after all, not the supreme ruler, nor even the Emperor himself.
