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

Having said that, Chuan Ying ignored Ning Fei, turned around, and gave the Undying Queen a casual, mocking bow from afar, laughing:

"Your Majesty, now that things are settled here, I should head back... There are still some trivial matters to attend to over there. Farewell."

The Immortal Queen glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Chuan Ying laughed heartily, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared into the starry sky as if he had never existed.

Ning Fei stood there, looking in the direction where Chuan Ying had disappeared, then looked at the Undying Queen, opened his mouth, and...

In the end, he said nothing, but silently led the old horse, turned and walked into the depths of the ancient star, his back view desolate and lonely.

Da...da...

Ning Fei led his horse, his figure slowly fading out of this star field.

He knew very well that although Chuanying had seemed carefree and even gave his "beloved" a distant bow when he left, the murderous intent emanating from his bones made him feel uneasy from beginning to end.

The silence of endless years,

When the other party recovered from his injuries and returned to consciousness, he harbored extreme hostility towards the entire Immortal Dynasty, which had ruled the universe for eternity after the collapse of the Heavenly Court, due to past grievances and grudges.

He especially hated the Immortal Emperor, resenting that he was once one of the Emperor's most favored candidates, yet he resorted to underhanded tactics and "kissed him when he was down."

However, it had been silent for too long; at that time, let alone the Immortal Emperor...

Even the supreme divine dynasty, which continued its glorious reign for ten or twenty thousand years after the death of the Immortal Emperor, vanished from the world without a trace after the Immortal Daoist sealed himself into the forbidden zone.

Therefore, Chuan Ying, who was determined to take revenge, turned his attention to the Immortal Queen and the Eight Great Generals.

In the past, he had found the ancient Huangshan Mountain.

Their intention was to storm the ancient pilgrimage site of all races, which had once been one of the dojos of the Undying Emperor, destroy it, and uproot and slaughter the remnants of the Undying Divine Dynasty who were sealed and slumbering within.

However, he was stopped halfway by the one who had been secretly protecting the Immortal Empress.

The two fought several battles on the edge of the universe, each ending in a draw. This led to a growing sense of mutual respect and admiration between them.

Since then, they seem to have maintained a tacit understanding.

The two seemed to have made an unspoken agreement: if they did not win, the former would not be allowed to kill the remnants of the Undying Divine Dynasty, including the Undying Empress, and the latter would not be allowed to respond to the Undying Empress's calls, suffering the pain of unrequited love.

These two factors served as the greatest motivation for the two to silently and diligently advance in their spiritual practice.

Since the end of the ancient era, more than half of this new era has passed.

Perhaps believing their strength was mismatched, Chuan Ying never approached the Undying Queen again, instead maintaining a covert standoff with Ning Fei.

During this period, the former indirectly thwarted the ambitious woman's attempts to recall her former divine generals and re-establish the Undying Dynasty during the era without an emperor on several occasions.

With the Heavenly Court destroyed, he harbored numerous grievances and resentments.

Despite his strategic vision, he ultimately refrained from using the strong to attack the weak. However, he could not tolerate the reappearance of the Undying Divine Dynasty in the world, so he laid out several strategic pieces, such as the Divine Organization and the Ancient Ascension Star.

In reality, without Ning Fei, a supreme-level combatant,

Even if the remaining few remaining divine generals and all the old subordinates were summoned back and a new dynasty was established, it would still be unable to rule over all the heavens and myriad realms again, even in an era without an emperor.

At most, they can dominate a corner of the starry sky.

The universe is vast, full of hidden talents. Over countless ages, there are undoubtedly many who will attain enlightenment and await their time to prove themselves.

Throughout history, no power has ever been able to remain powerful forever.

Even the once mighty Heavenly Court, which inspired Chuan Ying to tirelessly serve it, has fallen into decline along with the "fall" of the Emperor.

As it turns out, he was undoubtedly extremely arrogant. If he had a choice, and if the "real master" were still around, he would not have bothered to seek trouble with any remnants in his early years.

And I don't know when it started.

He seemed to have seen through the fact that his greatest enemy's "widow" was unlikely to amount to anything, and thus ceased to pay attention to worldly affairs.

He would occasionally emerge from his self-imposed seclusion to catch his breath and focus on his confrontation with Ning Fei.

One day, while getting some fresh air and getting drunk, he encountered a very interesting "young man".

Through observation, he gradually began to take that person seriously.

During a drink together after a chance encounter, he and his friend became close friends despite their age difference.

Years later, he did not disappoint him, becoming the only person in history to successfully cultivate both the Yin and Yang energies, and thus attained enlightenment.

Unfortunately, on the day the other party attained enlightenment, he had intended to lend a helping hand, even though he knew that with multiple supreme beings hunting them down, it would be meaningless and might even result in his own demise.

However, he was "trapped in his own web" because the tacit understanding of his endless, unspoken confrontation with Ning Fei prevented him from coming to his aid.

That incident made him feel very guilty at the time.

He wondered if the other party chose to attain enlightenment at that time, and his existence might be one of the reasons for their "confidence".

However, he ultimately failed to provide any substantial help.

But now, as the past gradually fades away,

The "tacit understanding" between him and Ning Fei changed about two hundred years ago, after the brief return of the Suiren Emperor and the sudden news that the Immortal Emperor was not dead.

Over the years, although his true self has not appeared in the world, his divine incarnations have occasionally traveled briefly outside, and through former collaborators such as the divine organization, they have been gathering all possible traces of the Immortal Emperor.

Unfortunately, so far the results have been meager.

During this time, he repeatedly thought that the news was likely spread by that old friend who was much older than him.

Among those who hunted him in the past, perhaps the Immortal Daoist who reappeared in the world from who knows where was actually the true form of the Immortal Emperor.

Although it's unknown how "old friend" was able to pinpoint the rebirth place of his greatest enemy after countless ages of demise,

But this news finally gave him a jolt.

But things are unpredictable. A supreme being who also had an old grudge against the Immortal Emperor rashly made a move, alerting the enemy.

When he personally set out to explore, the place where the Immortal Emperor's Immortal Egg was reborn had already been moved to another location under the coercion of the Immortal Daoist and the Immortal Heavenly Blade.

Da...da...

Standing there, the Undying Empress watched Ning Fei's departing figure with a complex expression, but it ultimately turned into a barely audible sigh.

At this moment, seeing the other party appear at the same time as Na Chuanying, how could she not realize that it wasn't that the other party hadn't responded to her calls and searches all these years, but that there was a real reason for it.

Perhaps if it weren't for the subtle balance achieved through the covert "confrontation" between the other party and Chuan Ying over the years, she would have already perished at the latter's hands.

However, her sigh at this moment was not accompanied by much emotion, emotion, or anything else; rather, it conveyed a sense of regret.

She lamented that in this great era of enlightenment, the situation was becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable.

Without this former first divine general who had always been "obedient" to her, her chances of achieving enlightenment through the Nirvana Method of the Undying Emperor, bathing in the blood of a quasi-emperor, or even the blood of a Daoist, or even a Supreme being, would be greatly diminished.

There are countless risks and unknowns that may arise along the way.

As for the feelings they once had for each other?

If there were any clues about that person from childhood, this mere "substitute" for expressing longing would be insignificant.

shuh...

After a moment of contemplation, a shimmering light appeared in the Immortal Empress's phoenix eyes.

She turned her gaze back to the depths of the universe, the place where the Spirit Treasure Killing Array had unleashed its endless carnage.

His gaze pierced through the endless void; all that remained was ruins, utterly deserted.

Seeing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on her exquisite face:

"An indestructible golden body... Tan Lin... you have quite a secret..."

"Who exactly are you? I'll find out later..."

She murmured to herself, then her feathered robes fluttered lightly, her figure slowly fading away until she finally disappeared from this desolate ancient star.

This corner of the starry sky has returned to silence.

Only in the distance, the ripples of law caused by the previous four swords being intercepted for ten breaths, which had not yet completely subsided, seemed to still be telling of the unrest in this place.

……

Let's turn back time to the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

On the other side of the universe, in the ruins of the Demon Emperor's Tomb high in the heavens.

With the dust settled, the four swords initially intended to return to the forbidden ancient path of the Sea of ​​Wheels and re-suppress the spring of life to prevent the loss of that "spiritual light," but Tan Lin temporarily persuaded them to stop.

Because he was able to grasp the situation in real time through the [Reverse Causes Perspective], he had already seen that Tianling's side could not hold out for much longer.

Wow!

Tan Lin's sleeves fluttered, and with a flick of his sleeves, the four swords and the array diagram transformed into streams of light and disappeared into them.

Beside him, Li Qingjue had also begun to refine the three fragments of imperial bloodline into his body.

At this moment, her aura, which had been somewhat unstable due to leaping several levels in a single day, had gradually stabilized.

She slowly rose, walked to her master's side, and asked proactively:

"Master, where do we go next?"

When speaking to Tan Lin, Li Qingjue's voice was gentler than ever before, like heavenly music, completely unlike her usual quiet and cold tone.

As she finished speaking, her black dress swayed, her demonic power subdued, but the aura that could devour all paths grew even deeper.

rustling... rustling...

The master and disciple stood side by side, with Li Qingjue slightly behind by half a step.

One in green, one in black; the green-clad woman stood tall and straight, the black-dressed woman was slender and graceful, both possessing extraordinary temperament and charm.

If someone were here at this moment and looked from behind without paying attention, they might think that the phrase "perfect match" perfectly describes this person and scene.

All was quiet.

As Li Qingjue finished speaking, while waiting for her master's reply, she silently enjoyed this post-war "peace," cherishing every moment spent with her master.

For a moment, she suddenly thought, how wonderful it would be if every day could be like this.

It would be best if things continued like this, allowing her to wait in the mortal world for her brother's return.

After a moment of silence, Tan Lin withdrew his mind from the [Perspective of All Causes] state and spoke softly:

"Let's leave here first, but you don't have to come with me..."

Upon hearing this,

Li Qingjue's heart clenched inexplicably, and then a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

But in an instant, Tan Lin raised his hand and pointed a finger at her brow.

Unwavering in her faith in her master, she neither dodged nor evaded the question, and then heard the other party say again:

"Go to this 'coordinate' and wait for me. After this matter is settled, we will need to 'lie low' for a long time, waiting for the opportune moment to attain enlightenment..."

I will use a 'secret technique' to help you eliminate your traces and confuse the divination of heavenly secrets, but you yourself must also conceal your aura and hide your whereabouts..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingjue, who had memorized the coordinates, suddenly broke into a rare smile and replied:

"Your disciple will obey your orders!"

Upon seeing this, Tan Lin couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

In my memory, this disciple from the previous life seemed to have never smiled, or rather, he had never smiled even once since his brother died.

The other person's eyes, which over the years should have always been filled with frost and loneliness, were now brimming with undisguised joy and trust, so pure that it softened one's heart.

However, this brief moment of warmth between teacher and student did not last long.

"cough……"

Tan Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and an uncontrollable metallic taste welled up in his throat.

He groaned, raised his hand to cover his lips, and streaks of dark golden blood seeped from between his fingers, mixed with traces of Yin and Yang energy and fragments of broken Dao principles.

"Master!"

Li Qingjue's smile froze instantly, turning into panic.

She stepped forward, reaching out to help him, but stopped just before touching Tan Lin's sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly.
