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

The cultivation has immeasurable benefits for his future path after breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm. Many obstacles that were once vague have suddenly become clear, and his control and development of his own cultivation methods have also reached a completely new level.

After each sermon, Tan Lin would listen to the three people's questions, answer their questions, and resolve the difficulties they encountered in their spiritual practice, as well as any points they did not understand.

No matter how tricky or strange the question, he can always get straight to the point and understand the core issue. Often, just a few words are enough to enlighten people.

However, he usually only explains a problem once.

After one time, even if someone like Tianling, who is usually affectionate, tries to coax her, she will never repeat it a second time.

In this century of meditation and preaching,

The ancient star of Heavenly Soldiers, which had been depleted of spiritual energy and abandoned by many cultivators over the past ten thousand years, has gradually been revitalized in the last hundred years.

Some depleted celestial veins are slowly regenerating, with sparse spiritual energy surging forth from the depths of the star's core.

In the distant starry sky, the chaotic laws of the universe, disrupted by the one-sided "great war" of many years ago, have not yet been restored.

But beyond that extremely distant region, though time has passed and circumstances have changed, the murderous aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation once emanated from there, clashing and entangled for decades, making the traces of the Great Dao exceptionally clear and dangerous in many areas of the distant sky.

However, for some cultivators who pursue perfection and dare to take risks, this has become a treasure trove for enlightenment.

As the time goes,

Gradually,

Scattered, independent cultivators, or small groups wandering the universe in search of new homes, began to appear.

Attracted by the unusual signs of spiritual energy resurgence and clear traces of the Great Dao, they cautiously landed on some stellar debris and newly formed man-made "satellites" on the outer edge of the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star.

Finally, after arriving at Tianbing Star, they established many simple settlements and attempted to cultivate and reproduce there.

For them, this is just a new habitat where opportunities and dangers coexist.

Who would have thought that hidden deep within this seemingly desolate starry sky are several beings who once shook the heavens?

Moreover, the origins and background of this star are quite intriguing.

……

At the same time,

At the other end of the universe, connected by star systems and ancient lands, lies the end of the ancient road of myriad races.

After a long period of silence, the Imperial Pass has finally become the focus of the universe once again.

Before the Imperial Pass,

The towering, ancient stone tablet, which was originally plain and dull, suddenly emitted a crystal-clear light one day and transformed into a glass-like crystal tablet.

This monument, etched with the marks of this great era and the achievements of countless outstanding individuals,

The radiance on it has been constantly shifting and flickering over the past decade, as if it were undergoing some kind of final confirmation and preparation.

The crystal tablet shone brightly, and some people from ancient Taoist traditions knew that this meant the countdown to the opening of this majestic pass had begun.

wow...

Finally, ten years later, a ripple containing the space machine of time spread across the surface of the crystal monument, and the entire monument suddenly burst forth with a dazzling celestial light that pierced through the starry sea!

In an instant, celestial light soared into the sky, illuminating the endless starry heavens.

A grand and ancient, majestic will, accompanied by a vast celestial sound, instantly spread throughout all the heavens and myriad realms:

"The Imperial Pass opens, revealing a single path; those who leave their mark can ascend to immortality within!"

boom!

On this day, the entire universe was in an uproar!

This has ushered in a great era of enlightenment that has lasted for three or four hundred years. Countless geniuses and prodigies have been tempered and grown in blood and fire, or have been lying dormant, all for this moment!

At this moment, throughout the myriad realms, on ancient planets, among ancient families, and even supreme sects, as well as in hidden realms and small worlds…

One after another, incredibly powerful but usually unknown auras of cultivators soared into the sky.

One after another, figures, some as bright as stars, some as deep as abyss, and some exuding murderous intent, tore through the void and crossed towards the Imperial Pass.

However, compared to these people, the vast majority of those who had already left their names on the crystal tablet, regardless of where they were in the universe, at this moment when the "celestial light" shone,

They all felt an irresistible force of attraction.

They were "ascending to heaven," their figures slowly fading and then disappearing, as if they had been directly teleported to the location known by the local natives as the "First Calamity Star."

Battlefield of Immortals!

This was a grand feast that swept across almost the entire universe, a gathering of geniuses from all races, and also a brutal elimination and slaughter.

The struggle for the only true path

The Imperial Pass has nine layers, and the Immortal Ascension Battlefield is just one of the starting points.

This place offers countless opportunities, including scriptures, secret techniques, and insights left behind by ancient celestial beings, emperors, and great rulers.

There are peerless divine medicines that can transform a person completely, and remnants of divine materials used to forge the ultimate rough-cut...

Similarly, this place is fraught with danger, not only with peerless adversaries from all the heavens and myriad realms, but also with the inherent crises of the battlefield itself.

……

at the same time,

Heavenly Soldiers Ancient Star, Celestial Venerable Immortal Platform World.

hum...

Li Qingjue, who had been sitting in meditation, and Tianling, who was communicating with the Divine Silkworm Princess but whose mind was mostly focused on cultivation,

A hazy "celestial light" emanated from both women.

This celestial light and the celestial light of the crystal tablet seem to share the same origin, carrying an ancient guiding principle.

The next moment,

Their figures began to slowly become ethereal and transparent.

"Is it... time to go?"

Li Qingjue opened his eyes, his expression serene and calm, and then looked at his master Tan Lin beside the spiritual light.

Her master had already explained this phenomenon to her, so she was not surprised and was already prepared, even secretly looking forward to it.

For her, the Ninefold Imperial Pass was not only a place to test her cultivation, but also an excellent hunting ground to obtain the origin of all paths and achieve mastery of demonic arts.

Are you leaving?

Tianling also came to her senses, and a look of eager anticipation appeared on her face.

She had little interest in absorbing the source.

But after being cooped up here for so long, it's good to get some fresh air somewhere else. After all, that place is also "isolated" from the outside world, which reduces many risks to some extent.

Furthermore, deep within the Imperial Pass, there are legends of relics and remnants of creation related to the Immortal Realm, and even to the unknown Chaotic Ancient Era or even earlier times. That is what she and Shen Yue are after.

Even so, as their figures became transparent, both of them subconsciously looked at Tan Lin.

Their gazes held a complex meaning.

Li Qingjue's eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Tianling was more direct, her purple-gold eyes filled with anticipation.

They all knew that with Tan Lin's abilities, even without leaving his name on the Imperial Pass Crystal Tablet, entering the Flying Immortal Battlefield, or even the subsequent Imperial Pass area, would be no difficult task.

Moreover, during the opening of this Imperial Pass, with their current quasi-emperor level cultivation,

It is not impossible to open a relatively stable temporary passage between the Flying Immortal Battlefield and the outside world by incurring some costs and using one's own energy as a medium.

In fact, some prominent figures in history did receive similar treatment and protection from their clan elders.

They hoped that Tan Lin could go with them, not because they wanted him to be their safety insurance, but simply because they wanted him to accompany them so that he could leave some mark on their life experiences.

however,

Tan Lin remained seated with his eyes closed, unfazed by the gazes of the two women.

He seemed oblivious to everything around him, and even more oblivious to the guiding light.

Until the moment when their figures became so ethereal they were about to disappear completely,

Tan Lin's calm and unwavering voice gently resonated in their hearts, yet it carried an undeniable indifference:

"You may all leave..."

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking,

Before Li Qingjue and Tian Ling could show any reaction, they completely disappeared from the Sendai world, clearly having been moved to their intended destination.

rustling... rustling...

Only Tan Lin and Guo Ziqian, who had re-entered a meditative state, remained in the same spot.

The latter, having broken free of its seal years ago, never left its mark at the Imperial Pass, hence its current immobile state.

Perhaps for him, simply listening to his emperor preach from time to time would be enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

shuh...

At this moment, Tan Lin slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he looked toward the spot where the two had disappeared. His eyes seemed to pierce through the endless void, revealing the smoke-filled battlefield where geniuses had shed their blood.

His eyes held neither joy nor sorrow, only a deep, unfathomable calm.

"The crystal tablet bears its mark, the Imperial Pass, this is quite a feat..."

He muttered something to himself, then closed his eyes again, as if the turbulent events of the outside world and the life-and-death battles of the geniuses had nothing to do with him.

……

The battlefield of immortals was vast and boundless, resembling a shattered, ancient universe.

In some areas here, countless fragments of broken continents and stars float, and there are even some incomprehensible, enormous ancient corpses and palace ruins.

The sky seemed to have turned into an eternal dark red at this moment, filled with chaotic laws and a chilling aura.

The rules here are special, exerting a strong suppression on all cultivators who are guided here.

The most obvious thing is that divine power has been sealed!

No magical spells or supernatural abilities can be used here, and the means that cultivators can use become extremely limited.

This is undoubtedly a huge weakening for some cultivators who are used to fighting with supernatural powers and magical treasures.

Physical strength has become one of the most important factors for survival here.

Of course, rules are not absolute.

Some ancient and profound lineages possess secret techniques or special artifacts, allowing them to temporarily break through some suppression and utilize some divine power at a certain cost.

However, some exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary strength and a profound understanding of the Great Dao...

They can also forcefully break through the seal of this place by relying on their understanding of the rules and their powerful cultivation of magic, using divine power, but the consumption is huge and it is easy to cause unpredictable consequences.

Da...da...

Suddenly, Li Qingjue's figure appeared on a desolate red land.

She sensed her own condition and found that, just as her master had said, her divine power was suppressed within her body and difficult to mobilize smoothly. She could only exert about half of her usual power, and it was being consumed rapidly.

But her expression remained unchanged. The Devouring Heaven Demon Art did not rely entirely on supernatural powers. The demonic body, tempered by the dark light formed from the origin of all kinds of strange species, was equally powerful.

She even believed that when she attained enlightenment one day, this body would be stronger and more resilient than any kind of immortal material.

shuh...

Upon arriving at this place, she scanned her surroundings with her divine sense and quickly locked onto a direction.

There were several powerful fluctuations of qi and blood there, and more importantly, two of them were primordial qi and blood, causing the demonic power within her body to stir slightly.

Those are two rather rare and special constitutions.

Her face was expressionless, and with a flicker of her body, she transformed into a blurry phantom, silently stealthily moving in that direction.

……

On the other side, Tianling's figure appeared above a floating "fairy palace" ruin.
