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

Vast and boundless, the Ziwei Star Region, once known as the Imperial Star by people from all realms due to various reasons and historical connections, is located there.

This ancient cradle of life, shimmering with starlight, is renowned throughout the universe for producing two human beings who attained enlightenment in the primordial era: the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor. It possesses a profound cultural heritage and numerous lineages of cultivation.

Humans thrived here and held absolute power.

If in ancient times, the human race in the Big Dipper Starfield lived a life of torment, being kept in captivity and treated as food by ancient races—a life of unbearable suffering.

This place, then, has been the paradise that the Beidou human cultivators have longed for for a long time.

At this moment, in the Ziwei Star Region,

Within the territory of the "Yanhuang Divine Kingdom," where the Jiang family's ancestral home stands, a bustling and vibrant scene unfolds, with the core area radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

Outside the jurisdiction, countless cultivators rushed from all over Ziwei and even nearby star fields, gathering outside the Jiang family's divine city in advance, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Legend has it that today marks the official return of Jiang Wanqing, the most outstanding divine body of the Ziwei Jiang family in this generation, to the clan after nearly two hundred years of travel.

Many up-and-coming talents not only want to admire his unparalleled divine beauty, but also look forward to the traditions of various sects in the Ziwei Star Region, that is, the sermons that will follow the return of such figures, and the blessings that may be bestowed upon them.

Jiang Wanqing, since her birth at the training ground of the Northern Dipper Emperor, has been away for two hundred years.

Even after such a long time, this name has not only not been forgotten in the Ziwei Star Region, but has become increasingly well-known.

Many years ago, he clashed with the Sun God Cult's Divine Son and the Taiyin God Cult's Taiyin God Son in a battle outside the realm. He defeated both of them in one fight. When the news spread, he once overshadowed Suiren Lianlei, the Human King Body of the Human Emperor Palace, who was always on par with him.

Next, he stepped into the realm of Saint King, and then touched the legendary forbidden realm of gods. After a few short decades, he advanced to the Great Saint, sweeping across the forbidden ancient road and becoming famous all over the world.

Especially recently, news came from the depths of the universe that Jiang Wanqing had seemingly obtained a great opportunity in an ancient secret realm, resulting in another breakthrough in her cultivation.

At less than three hundred years old, he reached the high level of the Great Sage realm, and even crossed two levels, killing the Kunlun remnants from the ancient star of Feixian, who were known as invincible among their peers...

Numerous deeds,

Times have changed, and its return today is far more powerful than that of the "Queen of Women" who was its nemesis decades ago.

The sun is at its zenith.

Outside the Jiang family's divine city, there was already a huge crowd.

Many important figures from major sects and ancient families that were on good terms with the Jiang family came to attend the ceremony and offer their congratulations.

Among them, the groups of the Taiyin God Cult and the Taiyang God Cult are particularly noteworthy.

Three Supreme Elders from the Taiyin Divine Sect arrived, the leader being an old woman with gray hair and a gaunt face.

He held a Taiyin Cold Jade Staff, and his aura was chilling, indicating that he had reached the Great Sage realm.

The Sun God Cult was led by a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a dignified face. He was also a high-ranking member of the Sun God Cult and had reached the Great Sage level in cultivation.

The gifts brought by both families were extremely generous, consisting of rare materials from the Taiyin and Taiyang Divine Realms or top-tier secret treasures, demonstrating their sincere sincerity.

However, many of the older generation present,

As they looked at the elders of the two teams, who were forcing smiles but whose brows betrayed a hint of loneliness and complexity, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

once Upon a time,

The Taiyin Divine Sect and the Taiyang Divine Sect were the undisputed overlords and leaders of the Ziwei Star Region, and at one time they were so powerful that they shook the universe and became the pilgrimage sites for all human cultivators in the myriad realms.

The illustrious names of the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor still resonate deep within the starry sky.

Their laws and doctrines, ancient scriptures, have benefited future generations. Even though most of what has been passed down is only a part of two immortal scriptures, it has still benefited countless human ancestors.

But as endless years pass, the world changes.

These two great lineages, lacking the supreme weapons of their respective founders to suppress their destiny, merely possess the ancient imperial scriptures and are unable to withstand the erosion of time and the covetousness of various parties.

The foundation of the religion was constantly depleted in the midst of repeated turmoil and calamities, and generation after generation of outstanding talents either perished unexpectedly or died in obscurity due to the loss of their future.

Even today, although the two major religions remain immortal lineages, with Great Sages presiding over them,

But it is no longer the supreme glory of ancient times.

In the Ziwei Star Region, they are still a top-tier power.

However, it could no longer enjoy the same level of power as the Jiang family and the Ziwei Divine Cult that rose to prominence later.

Especially in the last few hundred years,

After receiving many remnants and descendants from the Northern Dipper Human Emperor Palace, as well as the legacy of supreme artifacts like the Human Emperor Palace, and with the contemporary Human King's Body, Suiren Lianlei, becoming increasingly stunning, the Human King Palace...

With his overwhelming power, he swept away heroes from all directions, and the reputation of the Human King Palace grew day by day, showing signs of becoming the number one power in Ziwei.

The Jiang family, having accumulated wealth over the years, is now attracting even more attention and becoming increasingly powerful, thanks to the emergence of Jiang Wanqing, a peerless divine body with the potential to achieve enlightenment.

In contrast, the two major religions, Taiyin and Taiyang, although they have divine successors in each generation,

Compared to figures like the Queen of Women and Jiang Wanqing, she is far inferior!

Their arrival to offer congratulations was marked by a remarkably humble attitude, even carrying a hint of goodwill and dependence, which left almost every cultivator present, who knew of the glorious past of the two great sects, deeply moved.

In the past, two human holy emperors emerged from this supreme lineage.

Now, however, we have to rely on others and be mindful of their opinions. The bitterness and sorrow we experience are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

"Alas, if the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor were alive, what would they think if they saw their descendants' lineage reduced to this state..."

An old monk, awakened from his slumber and knowledgeable of much ancient history, shook his head inwardly.

"The imperial weapons have been 'lost,' and now even their inheritance is gradually becoming incomplete. Even with the ancient imperial scriptures, the bloodline is becoming increasingly diluted, making it difficult to regain the glory of the past. This is the power of time..."

"Let's not talk about it in the future. At least in this lifetime, the possibility of these two major sects producing outstanding figures is almost zero, and the hope of reviving their traditions is slim..."

The murmurs rose softly in the crowd, but were quickly drowned out by the louder noise.

Because a sacred bell deep within the Jiang family's ancestral land was rung.

when!

Clang... Clang...

The melodious sound of the bell resounded throughout the land of Yan and Huang.

wow...

The next moment,

Purple aura traveled 30,000 miles eastward, and a vast and powerful aura rose from the depths of the Jiang family's ancestral land, transforming into nine enormous purple-gold divine dragon phantoms that hovered above the divine city, emitting earth-shaking dragon roars.

This is the Jiang family welcoming their most outstanding scion home, bestowing upon him unparalleled glory.

At the same time, it also serves to demonstrate the Jiang family's "muscle" to the entire Ziwei Star Region and even to all the myriad realms, in order to deter villains.

"Welcome home, Goddess!"

Suddenly, a magnificent Daoist voice resounded from within the ancestral land of the Jiang family.

Countless members of the Jiang family, from the very old to the young, stood solemnly dressed in their finest attire, their eyes gazing eagerly at the sky.

boom!

quickly,

Beyond the heavens, a blazing white divine rainbow pierced the sky, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens.

From within the divine rainbow, a tall and slender figure slowly emerged.

She wore a well-fitting, moon-white robe, a Taoist monastic garment, not the flowing, wide-sleeved dresses commonly seen on women.

Instead, this style of combat-ready attire also accentuates her shapely and powerful figure.

rustling... rustling...

Her long, black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a white silk ribbon, hanging down behind her head and swaying gently with her steps.

Her face was extremely beautiful, but not in the delicate or frail way.

Instead, she exudes a heroic and dashing air, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like bright stars, a delicate and straight nose, red lips without any makeup, and skin as white as jade, gleaming with a lustrous sheen in the sunlight.

However, for cultivators, compared to his appearance,

What's most striking is the Daoist aura flowing around her. It's not the overwhelming aura of a female king, but rather a sharp, commanding presence, an aura of dominance over the eight wastelands, a natural-born kingly authority that reigns supreme over humanity.

Rather, it possesses a more restrained, harmonious, and profound charm, similar to, yet distinct from, the innate Dao embryo.

Divine light and radiance condensed into a divine wheel, reflecting behind his beautiful head.

Standing there, she was like a white moon, aloof and noble, or a snow lotus, pure and otherworldly.

This is Jiang Wanqing.

"Welcome, Goddess!"

The entire Jiang family, with countless members, shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Within the realm of the divine kingdom, countless mortals prostrated themselves on the ground, all looking up with fervent eyes.

Representatives from various factions who came to observe the ceremony also bowed and expressed their amazement.

This goddess of the Jiang family is even more outstanding than rumored. Not only has her cultivation become unfathomable, but her Daoist aura is also extremely profound. Clearly, she has obtained extraordinary fortune outside.

Da...da...

Jiang Wanqing, her delicate feet clad in a pair of exquisitely beautiful, cloud-stepping, fragrant shoes, touched the air as she slowly walked forward.

As she traversed the void, she nodded slightly to the direction of the ancestral land and to the various forces that had come to witness the ceremony, her demeanor composed and neither humble nor arrogant.

During this time, her gaze swept over the groups of the two major religions, Taiyin and Taiyang, and paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"My niece Wanqing, you must be tired from your journey."

The current head of the Jiang family, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and a deep aura, stepped forward with a gratified smile on his face.

He is Jiang Wanqing's uncle, a Great Sage, and the apparent leader of the Jiang family.

"uncle."

Jiang Wanqing smiled slightly, and in an instant, it was as if ice and snow had just melted and a hundred flowers were blooming, leaving many young cultivators around her dazzled.

She was about to say something, and greet the elders of the clan and the guests from all sides.

However, at that moment...

hum...

An indescribable surge of emotion, as if originating from the far reaches of the universe, pierced through the endless starry sky, affecting the entire cosmos and shaking all realms.

This fluctuation swept past the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Ziwei Ancient Star and was clearly perceived by all cultivators whose cultivation had reached a certain level.

It was a terrifying, murderous aura that seemed capable of annihilating everything and slaughtering immortals and gods. Although they were separated by an immeasurable distance, it still made countless cultivators' hearts tighten and their souls tremble.

"This...this is..."

"That feeling again! It's the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?!"

"Oh my god! It's happening again! How long has it been?!"

"This time it's in... the direction of the Chaotic Burial Starfield! Extremely far from the Demon Emperor's Tomb!"

Outside the “Divine Kingdom”

The crowd, which had been buzzing with excitement at Jiang Wanqing's return, fell silent instantly. Everyone looked up in astonishment into the depths of the starry sky, though they could see nothing.

But that chilling aura couldn't be faked.

"..."

At this moment, the Jiang family's divine city was shrouded in deathly silence.

All the guests who came to offer their congratulations, including the high-ranking members of the Taiyin and Taiyang God Cults,

Everyone in the Jiang family, including Jiang Wanqing who had just returned and was the center of attention, was stunned.

The grand return ceremony, which had just been bustling with activity, was instantly thrown into chaos by this sudden and earth-shattering commotion.

No one expected that within a single day, that supreme killing formation would unleash its divine power twice, even slaying a Quasi-Emperor of the Forbidden Zone. Was that indestructible golden body truly unafraid of provoking the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone to break his seal?

At that time, it will likely be a cataclysmic event!

shuh...

At this moment, everyone's attention involuntarily shifted from Jiang Wanqing to the distant starry sky.

The awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation," and its wielder.
