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

Just looking at Tan Lin's pale profile and feeling the surge of energy within him again,

Her heart also inexplicably ached.

whoosh...

I do not know how long it has been,

Perhaps it was only for a short moment, but under Tan Lin's guidance, they passed through a thick layer of patterns and air curtains, and the view suddenly opened up before them.

This is a tomb chamber with a folded space, a hidden world inside, and a unique layout.

In the center of the tomb chamber, in the dried-up pool, there is an ancient stone platform. The stone platform is engraved with intricate patterns, which faintly echo the demonic energy on Li Qingjue's body.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with strange crystals that emit a faint starlight, illuminating the tomb chamber.

A faint, cool aura, reminiscent of the power of Yin, permeated the air, along with...

A very faint trace of the aura that belonged to Chi Xuan and the others from before.

This is the secret location where Li Qingjue used the Soul Searching Technique on Chi Xuan.

"This is it."

Tan Lin stopped, slowly released Shao Hanyun's support, walked to the stone platform alone, and sat down cross-legged.

He coughed up another small mouthful of golden blood, and his face paled even more.

But his eyes were sharp as knives as he began to scrutinize the tomb chamber.

At the same time, he formed hand seals, and streams of mysterious restrictive light flew out from his hands, quickly merging into the void surrounding the tomb chamber, completely sealing and concealing the place.

Wow!

Having isolated himself from the outside world, Tan Lin, with his flowing sleeves, released a portion of the divine medicinal essence contained within the ancient tree of life.

The divine light was divided into five parts and injected into the five secret realms of Li Qingjue's body to help him completely stabilize his injuries. It also used the mixed power of the Yin and Yang as a buffer to ease the "ten thousand different species origin" demonic energy that was constantly clashing in his body.

After doing all this,

As if he had exhausted all his energy, Tan Lin slowly closed his eyes before beginning to sort out the Dao injury that had become unstable after the outburst.

Seeing this, Shao Hanyun placed the unconscious Li Qingjue on the other side of the stone platform without much concern, and then silently stayed by Tan Lin's side.

Of the three, he was the oldest, but his cultivation level was the lowest. However, he was in the best condition at the moment and could only temporarily take on the responsibility of looking after the other two.

Of course, perhaps it's because opposites attract and likes repel each other in some mysterious way.

His so-called care for Li Qingjue was merely incidental; the vast majority of his attention remained on Tan Lin from beginning to end.

rustling... rustling...

Time passed little by little.

Dressed in blood-red robes and with silver hair like frost, Shao Hanyun resembled a quietly blooming spider lily in the tranquil tomb space.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

During this time, deep inside the tomb's hidden opening,

She could vaguely hear the sounds of some returning cultivators, who were furious and clearly annoyed that they had not been able to find any trace of them.

Midway through, Tan Lin woke up once from his meditative state.

He silently activated [Reverse Vision of Causes] to monitor in real time the movement of the causal threads connecting the Soul Pearl barrier.

Then his deep gaze fell upon Li Qingjue, a golden light flashing in his eyes, revealing some insight into the recent recovery of the other party within the human body's secret realm.

Immediately afterward, he pondered for a moment, and then, relying on the incomplete formula for the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir" that he had obtained during his four previous ancient lives,

With the elixir of the ancient tree of life as its core, a large mass of divine essence is added, supplemented with some divine treasures.

With the help of the unique terrain, it took three months and, under Shao Hanyun's astonished gaze, a bottle of "Simplified Version of Seven-Turn Golden Elixir" was "hand-rubbed" out.

"There are ten pills in the bottle. You will give her one every ten days..."

She recently underwent a transformation here, experiencing a profound connection with this place. Perhaps things will take a turn for the better, or even lead to a breakthrough.

Tan Lin tossed the porcelain bottle to Shao Hanyun, gave her a few words of advice, and then instantly entered a meditative state, completely oblivious to "things outside himself".

in place,

Shao Hanyun took the porcelain bottle and was about to speak when she realized that the other person had already entered a meditative state, so she could only remain silent.

Her expression was strange. She uncorked the bottle, sniffed the powerful medicinal fragrance of the "Seven-Turn Golden Pill" inside, and then narrowed her eyes to look at Li Qingjue, with an indescribable dark look floating in her eyes.

Is it jealousy?

Or something else?

It should be noted that such treatment was only given to someone after they obtained the immortal elixir from the divine realm.

She has never enjoyed it even once, not even once in the past. As someone's bedmate, she has never tasted that person's alchemy skills!

However, for some reason,

Having recently witnessed what someone had done for this Devouring Demon, she had a strange, unsettling feeling that the two of them were acting "as is" for each other.

At this moment, many questions that had been suppressed in her mind for a long time surged up again.

What is the connection between these two people?

Is it as someone told Chi Yao and the others?

They were all disciples of the last human emperor of the ancient era, and were related as senior and junior brothers.

However, she didn't believe this answer; in fact, she even scoffed at it.

She herself is more inclined to believe that the truth hidden behind the word "Master" that the demon called out to someone before he fell into a coma is the truth behind it!

Having followed someone for so many years, and having once jointly studied the "Human Emperor's Broken Stele," she gleaned insights from various clues and her subsequent experiences in the Lingbao Tianzun's Sea of ​​Wheels region.

The Emperor's Banner was at his beck and call, and each time it was fully restored...

The unusual attitude and state of that "Gu Qingying" senior,

And then there was the feeling of unfathomable mystery that arose from the other person's countless visits, as if he knew everything.

She wasn't a mindless pretty face; she had already guessed all of this, but couldn't be sure.

After all, that guess was too far-fetched.

If the speculation is true, then this is truly a colossal vortex that she should absolutely not get involved in at this stage...

What did that mean? Every time she reflected on it and pondered it deeply, her heart pounded.

Perhaps it's a woman's nature, but that strong desire to explore brings a curiosity that, like a cat scratching, often makes her unable to resist the itch in her heart, thus leading her to ponder silently.

boo...

As I thought about it,

Shao Hanyun fed Li Qingjue a Seven-Turn Golden Pill as instructed.

……

Soon, forty years had passed.

Inside the tomb, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Only the starlight crystals on the stone wall emitted a constant, faint light, illuminating the three motionless figures on the jade platform.

Tan Lin sat cross-legged on one side of the stone platform, his eyes closed, his breathing long and shallow.

A faint golden light and a chaotic aura, intertwined with the Yin and Yang energies, circulated around him, appearing and disappearing intermittently. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress something, or perhaps he was conducting some kind of deep exploration or deduction.

At this moment, the barely perceptible crack between his brows had disappeared.

But his face turned even paler.

Clearly, the Dao injury rooted in his body due to his creation of the Dao, his forced transcendence of his current realm, and his transcendence of the principles of the Five Realms cannot be healed in a short time.

On the other side,

Li Qingjue's posture had changed from lying flat on the stone platform to sitting cross-legged.

Still unconscious, this cross-legged posture was most likely the doing of another person here. Her black dress was as dark as ink, which made her skin appear even whiter and more translucent.

The previously chaotic, weak, and depressed energy has stabilized after taking four "Seven-Turn Golden Pills," and even shows signs of slow recovery.

The lines between her brows, which had been furrowed in pain, had long since smoothed out, and she now looked serene, as if she were simply asleep.

Not far away, Shao Hanyun leaned against a corner of the dried-up Divine Marrow Pool surrounding the stone platform.

Her fiery red dress and frosty silver hair made her stand out in the quiet, dark tomb.

Those captivating eyes gazed intently at Li Qingjue on the stone platform, occasionally sweeping over the meditating Tan Lin, a complex glint of light flickering deep within them.

She held the exquisite white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, inside which were six round, longan-like pills that exuded a powerful medicinal fragrance.

Forty days have passed, and the effects of this elixir...

What she witnessed with her own eyes was nothing short of a marvel of nature.

With just four pills, a high-level Great Saint whose internal essence was clashing with a foreign species, whose Dao foundation was damaged, and who was almost on the verge of death, was completely pulled back from the brink of death.

Moreover, it begins to nourish its source, showing signs that it will help it go further.

This kind of divine elixir is simply astonishing!

Similarly, the terrifying alchemy skills of her "Daoist partner" were also far too horrifying!

However, if the person behind all this is the only human emperor in history who successfully cultivated both the Yin and Yang energies, then everything becomes reasonable.

But when she thought about it,

This precious elixir, crafted from the essence of the immortal medicine and a large amount of divine marrow, was casually refined into an entire bottle by someone, all to save this demon...

She felt a little uneasy.

Upon thinking of this,

The bitterness she had previously suppressed, somehow, was stirred up by the invisible demonic barrier that had bound her before the divine forbidden realm for decades, and suddenly began to grow quietly like vines.

Having followed "him" for so many years, risking my life together, even...

Even when we had our most intimate encounter before, I never received such caring treatment.

Let alone such a precious pill made from an immortal elixir, even his ordinary care and consideration, except for that one time..., usually showed her the same indifferent demeanor that never changed.

Yes, she admitted,

One's initial approach to the other person may have had ulterior motives: to escape salvation, to survive, to seek unknown destiny, or even...

They even coveted the opportunities and secrets within the other party.

But after so many years of living together day and night, her heart had unknowingly become tied to this mysterious and powerful, aloof yet occasionally revealing rare deep affection man.

Dragons are inherently cold and ruthless, and the Azure Dragon bloodline within Shao Hanyun is even more so.

She looked back on her past and realized that she had never been so attached to anyone.

Even the "elder" who had protected her for a considerable period of time before and after her sealing and breaking of the seal could not do the same.

But ironically, it seems that someone has never truly cared about her.

At least, in her view, it was far less important than the attention she had previously paid to this Devouring Demon!

A series of thoughts intertwined,

In an instant, her thoughts began to race.

As time passed, an eerie silence seemed to descend upon the tomb.

At some point, Shao Hanyun gradually lost the sound of Tan Lin's increasingly even breathing.

Boom!

thump... thump...

Instead, a heartbeat, emanating from not far away, echoed softly in her ears.
