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

After all, they were merely people with some connection to that ancient Suiren Emperor. Unlike the Suiren Emperor in person, who could have easily tracked down the heavens with a slight effort even if the heavens were in turmoil…”

Yan Qing also gave a cold laugh, then said seriously:

"We're close to getting results here, but we can't afford to let any fish slip through the net over there."

In the eyes of his father and the others, compared to the uncertain identity of the seemingly descendant of the Suiren Emperor and the 'Devouring Goddess,' the identity of Tianling of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan as the Suiren Emperor's 'Daoist partner' was already confirmed.

"Indeed, if we're really talking about the extent to which the secrets of Emperor Suiren are known, then the significance of 'Tianling' is certainly not insignificant..."

The old woman said in a sinister tone.

But as soon as he said this, the Undying Stone Spirit on the side scoffed:

"I think you're getting senile! You're just greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant..."

"How could the great secrets of the Suiren Emperor be so easily discovered? If it were that simple, would the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable and the Immortal Daoist have made no progress so far?"

Such a great secret, what kind of person was Suirenhuang? He would certainly not let anyone know it..."

As the Stone Spirit spoke, noticing the old woman's face turning faintly ashen, he sneered:

"His Majesty the Stone Emperor and your lord probably didn't even expect to learn anything this time."

They were merely harboring some suspicions due to the frequent appearances of the "backup plan" of the Suiren Emperor over the past century. They wondered if they could follow the clues from these few people connected to him and, incidentally, eliminate some potential threats.

Of course, it would be best if there were any unexpected surprises.

For example, you must all be curious about the 'secret' behind how Tian Ling was able to withstand the erosion of the Divine Soul Pool water and survive for so long.

"What does that mean, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu fixed his gaze on them.

"There's a big fish over there, we can't let it get away. But the fact that even a 'big fish' would willingly reveal its almost exposed tracks proves that the two people here are probably quite valuable, even disregarding other factors!"

Before the stone man could speak, Chu Jie spoke again.

"so?"

"Let's send some people over. Tianling has now merged with the 'Divine Moon' of the Divine Silkworm Ridge and reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Her combat power is extraordinary, and she wields the Divine Silkworm Robe, an ultimate ancient imperial weapon. She should not be underestimated..."

However, although the two targets here are only Great Sages, with that Spiritual Treasure Killing Array Diagram, we cannot be careless..."

"Fortunately, we have enough manpower, so we can easily close the net this time!"

……

boom……

Inside a hidden tomb where space is about to be annihilated.

Just as the outer barrier leading to the Demon Emperor's tomb shattered with a deafening roar and a surge of extreme energy emanated from it,

Protected by the Lingbao Killing Array Diagram, on the stone platform that is the only pure land in this broken tomb chamber, Tan Lin suddenly opened his eyes!

"The time has come."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.

Then,

Under the calm gaze of Li Qingjue and the somewhat anxious gaze of Shao Hanyun, Tan Lin's thoughts stirred slightly.

hum...

In an instant, deep within his soul,

After several dozen breaths, the firefly inside the eighth deep crimson light spot of the Soul Pearl, which had already burned to its limit, was finally exhausted rapidly after the Soul Pearl's divine power was activated once again.

However, the Soul Pearl then rippled with a soft and mysterious crimson halo.

wow...

The halo did not spread, but as if it had a life of its own, it separated a portion and silently enveloped Shao Hanyun.

"Tan... Tan Lang? You..."

Shao Hanyun couldn't see the halo, but she could vaguely feel her aura being instantly blocked. She was slightly taken aback, not understanding why, and didn't know what had happened.

"Your path, and the opportunity for you to touch the divine forbidden realm, all lie within this tomb. The reason you didn't reap any rewards before was simply because you hadn't truly set foot inside the tomb yet..."

Tan Lin looked at her, his gaze deep and calm:

“The outsiders are here with my and Qingjue as their targets. Your cultivation is still at the Saint King Realm, so it is not advisable for you to leave with them now. If you insist on doing so, you will miss the opportunity that belongs to you.”

His tone was calm, yet every word was clear:

"You need not worry about your situation. This is a layer of divine protection I have created for you using a 'secret technique.' It can conceal your aura, confuse the secrets of heaven, and help you sneak into the tomb, temporarily ignoring most of the restrictions within, and quietly penetrate deeper."

Furthermore, once we leave, we will draw their attention away, and you can explore the tomb on your own and seize your opportunity.”

"But……"

Shao Hanyun opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Deep down, she had a feeling that if they parted ways today, although a bright future was within her grasp, her love affair with him in this life would probably come to an end...

"No buts."

Before she could finish speaking, Tan Lin interrupted her.

His deep gaze shifted to the entrance to the tomb passage, revealed by the broken seal, a dark and mysterious passage leading to an unknown destination, and he slowly said:

"Our acquaintance is but a fleeting encounter. We cultivators should prioritize our own path of cultivation before discussing anything else."

This place presents you with an opportunity. Staying offers both life and chance, but if you come with us, even if you survive this ordeal, your future is uncertain. The choice is yours.

However, you no longer have time to consider it…

After speaking.

Tan Lin said no more, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.

hum...

The crimson aura surrounding Shao Hanyun flickered slightly.

Whoosh!

The unknowable and unverifiable crimson figure, carrying her silhouette, vanished instantly from the collapsing tomb chamber, as if passing through an invisible membrane.

next moment,

It had already appeared near the entrance to the deep, dark core passage of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, which had just been revealed due to the breaking of the barrier.

Moreover, due to its crimson color and otherworldly nature, its aura was completely concealed, almost blending into the surrounding environment.

After seeing Shao Hanyun off, Tan Lin no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his hand, the ancient tree of life rooted in the stone platform behind him transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into his sleeve.

Wow!

Immediately, the spirit treasure killing array diagram floating in front of him shone brightly and unfolded automatically, transforming into a mysterious array diagram phantom that enveloped him and Li Qingjue.

Within the formation diagram,

Four blurry, illusory swords floated on the water, emanating a fierce and murderous aura that made the heavens and earth change color!

"Qingjue, come with me... let's go out and meet these people..."

Tan Lin stood up, his gaze calm yet with a hint of mystery.

"Yes, Master."

Li Qingjue also stood up, dressed in a black dress, her black hair flowing down, her face exquisite, her eyes filled with only determination and absolute trust in her master.

"go!"

Tan Lin let out a low shout and stopped using the Soul Pearl's magical ability to restrain his own aura and Li Qingjue's!

boom!!

In an instant,

Two powerful auras, unlike those of a Great Sage, suddenly erupted from the depths of the tomb, which had been riddled with holes by external attacks and was on the verge of complete collapse, like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years!

The two figures shot into the sky in an instant!

Especially Tan Lin, whose unique blood and qi fluctuations belonged to the Undying Golden Body.

And that, though restrained, still perceptible to those of equal strength, a faint yet supremely profound wisp of Yin and Yang Daoist essence belonging to the former Human Emperor.

In an instant, it was like a lighthouse in the darkness, clearly exposed to the perception of all the powerful beings outside!

"There?!"

"Found it! It was hidden here after all!"

"The aura of the indestructible golden body! And that 'Devouring Goddess'!"

"Strengthen the blockade on all sides! Don't let them escape!"

"..."

Almost at the same time that Tan Lin and Li Qingjue unleashed their auras.

outside world,

Mo Zhu, Yan Qing, Chu Jie, and the others all fixed their gazes on the direction from which the aura was coming.

At this moment, dozens of chilling divine thoughts filled with cold killing intent intertwined and locked onto that area!

…………

Chapter 234 Those who didn't know better would think it was the 'Suiren Emperor' in person (Please subscribe!)

shuh...

distant sky,

Those cultivators who originally wanted to escape completely, but were wary of further attracting the attention of people from the forbidden zone,

At this moment, everyone's minds were shaken from their "feigned death" state, and they were all attracted by the sudden changes in the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"hiss……"

"what happened?!"

"That's... someone coming out of there?!"

"They really are here!!"

"Two auras... one of them is as powerful as a dragon's blood, burning fiercely, it must be the Undying Golden Body!"

"The other one is the Devouring Demon! She was critically injured and on the verge of death many years ago, but now she is completely healed and her aura is even stronger than before. This must be thanks to the elixir of immortality!"

"Wait, where's the other one? Where did Shao Hanyun, the 'Demon Lord' who has faded into obscurity compared to these prodigies, go?"

"Didn't I hear that she's been inseparable from her indestructible golden body for decades?"

"Heh, what kind of bullshit Demon Venerable is she? Decades ago, she was at the peak of the Saint King realm, and decades later, she's still at this level, not even able to step into the Great Saint realm. Does she deserve to be called a 'Venerable' among my demon race?"

"That's right. The fact that she hasn't appeared yet might be because that indestructible golden body thought she was too useless and kicked her away twenty years ago! She's just a pretty face..."

"Is that so? But why did I hear that she hasn't broken through yet because of her great ambition and her obsession with touching the divine barrier before becoming a Great Sage?"

"..."

"The entire tomb robbery tunnel and all the outer chambers of the tomb have collapsed. Are there only these two? Tsk, they're quite composed. Even with the destruction of the Heavenly Ruins Continent, they couldn't be forced to reveal themselves until the very last moment!"

"Knowing that the forbidden zone was searching for them, why didn't they come out sooner to face their doom? Why did they have to cause us to suffer this undeserved calamity? They're truly two 'born' people!!"

"It's a shame that these two received the Human Emperor's legacy from a previous generation, and they call themselves the Human Emperor's disciples. One of them even has an indestructible golden body. They were clearly here, yet they just watched the world outside being destroyed without coming out?"

"What a disgrace to the Emperor's disciple! So timid and cowardly, a disgrace to the indestructible golden body!"

"Sigh... what's the point of saying all this? I just want it to end quickly..."

"No, I actually hope these two can stand up a bit more, so that we can have a chance to escape!"

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist!"

"Look, that spirit treasure killing formation diagram..."

"..."
