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

Within the two realms, Princess Divine Silkworm and Guo Ziqian quietly left the secret place before the tribulation clouds had fully formed, and arrived outside the high heavens of the Central Region.

Boom!!

Rumble... Rumble...

Beyond the universe, Guo Ziqian laughed heartily, his voice aged yet brimming with heroic spirit.

In his hand appeared a broken long spear that had been refined with the help of the Human Emperor in ancient times. Its murderous aura soared to the sky. It was the weapon he had once carried in battle with "someone"!

wow...

Amidst the looting chaos, he brandished his long staff and charged into the crimson clouds of tribulation, battling the phantoms of weapons, his iron-blooded fighting spirit shaking the heavens!

Both of them were undergoing their own quasi-emperor tribulations. The tribulations did not interfere with each other, but because they were both in the same outer space,

The interaction of energies seemed to amplify the power of the tribulation clouds, creating an extremely terrifying scene.

……

at the same time,

Inside a secret cave.

In the Dragon Marrow Pool, after Tianling and Princess Divine Silkworm left, Gu Qingying's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes, which seemed to be filled with melancholy, were initially somewhat blank, but then quickly regained their clarity.

After a century, she... finally regained control of her body.

Or rather, she regained control of her body earlier, thus reducing the impact of someone else taking over her Sendai.

As for the benefits of the "three-year agreement," the two patriarchs were generous and still made compensation according to the agreement. She did not hesitate and accepted it all without hesitation.

hum...

The primordial spirit within the Sendai shone with radiant light.

That long-lost feeling of being completely in control of herself welled up in her heart, making Gu Qingying feel a little dazed and unreal for a moment.

It's been a hundred years...

Her physical body has always been dominated by the divine souls of those two patriarchs.

Her primordial spirit remained curled up in a corner of the Sendai every day, more like an observer.

Although he can perceive the outside world, communicate with the patriarch in his spare time, and even learn from and comprehend the supreme Dao, the feeling of being unable to control his own destiny always follows him like a shadow.

now……

become free.

I am truly free.

Splash...

In the pool, Gu Qingying slowly sat up, feeling the surging magical power within her body, and experiencing absolute control over her limbs and bones.

In an instant, a complex and indescribable emotion welled up in her heart, causing her eyes to slightly warm up.

At this moment, perhaps she should cry tears of joy?

Or is it a sense of relief?

But she couldn't quite explain the inexplicable emptiness that welled up inside her.

a long time,

She silently lifted her plain white wide sleeves, revealing a section of her jade-like lotus-root arm.

Her arms were long and slender, smooth and lustrous, but where there should have been a "cinnabar mole" was now completely bare.

That point symbolizes something... something that happened many years ago on the ancient mythical road, by the pool of divine souls in the divine realm formed from the internal organs of the ancient celestial being, through a natural "interaction" guided by the patriarch and someone else.

And it disappeared completely.

At the time, she chose to remain silent, which was perhaps a form of tacit consent.

Although the patriarch had full control over her body at the time, the sensations she experienced over those several days were real, and even now, decades later, she still remembers them vividly.

Even that trembling, soul-stirring feeling would occasionally surface in her mind when she was alone in a corner of Sendai.

She, Gu Qingying, was the stunningly beautiful and powerful goddess of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, who once dominated the five regions of the Big Dipper, and the dream lover of countless geniuses.

Her... no longer belongs to her.

At least in some sense, that's true.

So, how should she conduct herself now, whether she sees that person or stands before the two patriarchs?

Is she still being herself, Gu Qingying?

Or should I pretend to be someone's confidante?

Thoughts drifted,

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in her mind, Gu Qingying felt utterly confused, causing a pallor and a sense of bewilderment to appear on her exquisite face.

The confusion brought about by this sense of contradiction overshadowed her joy at being "reborn" to some extent.

She hugged her arms tightly, buried her face in her knees, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

The deafening thunderclaps outside seemed unable to dispel the turmoil in her heart.

……

Rumble...

Beyond the universe, no one knows how much time has passed.

The terrifying fluctuations caused by the quasi-emperor tribulations shining on both sides finally began to weaken.

The nine-colored and blood-red tribulation clouds gradually dissipated, and the world returned to clarity.

But the quasi-emperor pressure that followed spread throughout the world like a tangible entity, as if announcing the birth of two newly emerging supreme beings of this era!

Whoosh!

whoosh...

After completing their tribulations, the two figures wandered around the outer realms for quite some time, taking many detours to obscure the heavenly secrets before finally returning to their secret place.

At this moment, the aura of "Shen Yue" was as vast as the sea, unfathomable.

His body was enveloped in a faint eight-colored imperial glow, making him a true quasi-emperor!

However, her condition was somewhat strange; her aura fluctuated from time to time, and the divine glow on her face seemed to be slightly distorted.

Da...da...

Before the walls of the "Divine Silkworm Ridge Cave" within the boundary of the world, Guo Ziqian stood like a war god returning from an ancient battlefield.

Although his hair was white, his eyes were like lightning, and his body was surrounded by a tangible aura of war and iron-blooded fighting spirit, exuding a terrifying quasi-emperor pressure!

However, compared to Shen Yue, his aura, while showing no signs of disorder or fluctuation, was somewhat weak, clearly indicating that he had just successfully transcended tribulation and had not yet fully stabilized his realm.

But that aura was enough to make any great sage in the world tremble.

"Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations on your attainment of Quasi-Emperor status! From now on, the path to the Great Dao is within reach, and the attainment of the Dao is within reach!"

"We also congratulate you, senior, on your remarkable achievements and further progress..."

Because Shen Yue was undergoing her tribulation, the walls of the cave had already widened, and some of the "silkworms" inside, disturbed, transformed into human form.

Among them were men and women, young and old, who all appeared and knelt down in excitement before the Divine Silkworm Princess.

In response, Guo Ziqian, standing beside "Shen Yue," subconsciously shifted his feet, creating some distance, and declined the greeting. He then looked at the other person and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, the commotion just now was too great, and it has probably alerted many forces in the Big Dipper. In this great era of attaining enlightenment, our tribulation in the Big Dipper may have already attracted the attention of some forces within the forbidden zones."

Although we deliberately concealed the secrets of heaven and even went on a long detour, those beings all possessed inconceivable abilities.

If you insist on investigating, it won't be difficult to find this place by following some clues that haven't been completely cleared away... My advice is, don't linger..."

Upon hearing this, "Shen Yue" nodded.

At this moment, her consciousness was temporarily dominated by the Divine Silkworm Princess.

Her light, bright gaze swept over Gu Qingying, who looked dazed in the cave, and then looked at the body of "another me," Tianling, on the jade platform, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"I know everything you're saying, but before I leave, there's one last thing I need to do."

Before Guo Ziqian could reply, she touched the ground with her jade-like feet and instantly appeared in front of the body. She gently stroked the body's cheek with her jade-like hand, and a look of regret appeared in her eyes.

It's a pity that this body, which is equally powerful and even stronger than "her" original divine silkworm body, is now in such a state.

However, after this, with flesh and blood fused together, the primordial energy and facial features contained within will remain in this form for a very long and endless period of time, at least until she attains enlightenment...

As long as the fragments of the Heavenly Profound Ancient Emperor's Dao and some profound creations within this body's bloodline can be perfectly integrated into her body, this effort will not be a waste.

"The Divine Silkworm undergoes nine transformations, shedding its old body to gain new life. Using this body as a guide, I will sublimate the essence of my Divine Silkworm and achieve the true meaning of... the Eighth Transformation of the Divine Silkworm!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

She formed complex and ancient hand seals, and her body shone with a brilliant eight-colored light, enveloping her and Tianling's physical bodies.

Splash...

Then, the shocked gazes of the Shencanling clan inside the cave were concealed.

Deep within a cave, unseen by anyone,

Tianling's exquisite body, wrapped in a long purple palace dress, began to "melt" little by little, slowly transforming into the purest essence and bloodline.

Among them, there were also unique Dao patterns that Tianling had cultivated in the ancient times, flowing and shimmering.

wow...

All the essence of the Great Dao and the mysteries of creation are like rivers flowing into the sea, drawn by the "Divine Moon" technique and even innate supernatural powers, and completely absorbed into every pore of his body!

boom!

The next moment,

Having absorbed the essence of Tianling's body, "Shenyue" experienced another surge in aura, her body radiating dazzling light to the extreme, enveloping her entire body and forming a huge, constantly writhing eight-colored cocoon of light!

hum...

Above the cocoon of light, mysterious Dao patterns appeared and disappeared, as if some incredible transformation was being conceived!

"So this is the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, I see..."

Outside the cave, Guo Ziqian's current cultivation level was undeniable, though he didn't examine it.

However, the faint wisps of energy emanating from the cave still made his pupils shrink, and he quickly realized what was happening.

Legend has it that the Divine Silkworm undergoes nine transformations, each a rebirth, a leap in life level, with the ninth transformation being the most mysterious and terrifying.

This eighth transformation, though not as advanced as the ninth, requires specific analysis. What Shen Yue is doing now is unprecedented among the Divine Silkworms of the Divine Silkworm Ridge clan.

The unique, postnatal fusion of these two ancestral bloodlines was achieved through a confluence of numerous coincidences, which allowed them to meet the stringent conditions.

Once successful, they will be completely transformed, possessing even more incredible potential and combat power!

wow...

As the time goes,

The aura of the light cocoon grew stronger and stronger, even attracting the remnants of the heavenly tribulation that had just dissipated between the realm within a realm and the secret land outside.

Immediately afterwards, new and even more terrifying tribulation clouds began to gather outside the secret realm!

"go!"

Guo Ziqian acted decisively, waving his hand to cast a spell that produced a huge eight-colored cocoon of light, which then tore through the void and disappeared into the secret place in an instant.

He needed to find a secluded place far away from the Burial Emperor Star, or perhaps one of those terrifying forbidden zones, that would be more suitable for his transformation and for him to stabilize his realm.

Whoosh!

He remained in place for a long time.

Gu Qingying's melancholy eyes, filled with countless thoughts, flickered. She clenched her fists slightly and slowly closed her eyes.

From the outside,

Shortly after Guo Ziqian took the light cocoon away.

Several powerful divine thoughts swept across this large area where secret places were hidden, each thought carrying a hint of inquiry and bloodlust.
