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

Tan Lin stood there for a long time, and a clue seemed to flash through his mind.

But that fleeting feeling of inspiration was so elusive that he couldn't grasp it and had to give up for the time being.

Then, he turned his gaze to another source of divine energy.

Sealed within the divine source on the right is also a woman of unparalleled beauty, breathtakingly gorgeous.

She also had purple hair, but her eyes and brows held a hint of aggressive, fiery, and domineering arrogance. Her attire was also different; she wore a dashing golden battle suit that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure.

The inviolable aura of authority she possessed was much weaker than that of the ancient princess Tianling, but in addition to her goddess-like nobility, she had an added touch of sharpness.

If Tianling is an empress sitting high on the clouds, looking down on all living beings, then she is a female warrior who patrols on behalf of Heaven.

"Could it be... Princess Divine Silkworm?"

After observing for a moment, Tan Lin quickly made a guess.

There are only a handful of divine silkworms left in the world, and apart from the divine silkworm princess who leapt off the page in his "previous life" and dared to love and hate, he could hardly think of anyone else who matched these physical characteristics.

But if it really is her, why would she choose to be sealed here?

What is its relationship with Tianling?

What intersection did the two have at the end of the Primordial Era?

Could it be that the causal relationship between Tianling and him... or rather, a significant portion of the causal relationship with the outside world, was concealed by Shencanling through some means?

"Wasn't she the fiancée of the Fighting Saint King? She was impaled in front of the temple by a spear thrown by Kun Zhou at the end of the Primordial Era..."

As his thoughts raced, Tan Lin's remnant soul frowned once more:

"In the millions of years since my fall, how much has the original trajectory shifted?"

Two divine sources, two peerless goddesses.

One looked remarkably like his deceased lover, and the other seemed to be the Divine Silkworm Princess.

The primordial spirit floated silently before the Dragon Marrow Pool, gazing at the two divine sources, and fell into a long silence.

He returned to this secret place, originally intending only to bury the start-up capital for his rapid rise in the next life, but unexpectedly discovered a secret matter involving at least two ancient royal families.

"Should we break open the divine source of Princess Divine Silkworm? We can find out what happened by asking... No, it's empty... Her celestial platform is empty too..."

……

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Invisible War of Attrition with the Carefree Celestial Venerable (3K)

whoosh...

Having discovered that there was no risk within the inner boundary of the boundary, Tan Lin's remnant soul personally entered the cave under the dual states of [Reverse All Causes Vision] and [All Causes Barrier].

The investigation by the primordial spirit is ultimately not as direct as the merging of the divine soul.

Soon, deep within the cave, beside the Dragon Marrow Pool.

Two enormous divine sources submerged in the dragon marrow reflected the illusory yet solemn face of Tan Lin's remnant soul.

The appearance of Tianling and the Divine Silkworm Princess's bodies, and the fact that this place has become a secret ancestral nest in the Divine Silkworm Ridge...

All sorts of doubts seemed to weave together an impenetrable net, shrouding Tan Lin's mind.

The unknown and contradictory information left him completely baffled.

"The anchor point of the causal chain points to this place, yet it is so vague and chaotic..."

Tan Lin's lingering soul paced slowly by the pool, his thoughts racing like lightning.

This phenomenon is undoubtedly consistent with the fact that the primordial spirits of Tianling and Princess Shencan have disappeared.

However, logically speaking, the anchor point should actually point to the primordial spirit rather than the physical body, rather than the physical body.

"Perhaps the causal thread between me and Tianling wasn't severed at first... but rather hidden due to some changes? Now that I've found this place, it's been re-established?"

"The secrets of heaven are obscured, and indirectly, the lines of cause and effect are also blurred. It seems that the vision this 'Perspective of All Causes' provides me is still limited and not absolute. Or perhaps it's because my current state as a remnant soul prevents me from maximizing my vision..."

After a long while, the deep thought in Tan Lin's eyes suddenly disappeared.

He knew that he was not in a position to explore too many secrets.

For him right now, the most urgent task is still to accumulate two or even three complete deep crimson light spots, and then go to Zhongzhou to retrieve the largest fragment of the true soul and start his next life.

As for the secrets here, he was at least certain that the two people in this divine source should not have really died.

It is possible that their spirits have survived to this day in some way.

Everyone has their own destiny, and knowing that Tianling is most likely still alive is enough.

As for more, it is believed that when he returns to his peak in his next life, or even goes further, and makes the final leap and merges with the will of Heaven, he will be able to grasp the whereabouts of Tianling's primordial spirit.

"Strength, the prerequisite for everything, is ultimately strength..."

After lingering for an unknown amount of time, Tan Lin still hadn't found any more clues in the inner world, so he simply turned around and left the cave.

He hadn't forgotten why he originally came here.

Everything is in preparation for a stronger next life.

Although he seems to have activated the dual state of the Soul Bead and can even enter and exit forbidden areas like the Undying Mountain, each entry and exit causes enormous damage to the "fireflies" in the Deep Crimson Light Point, and at the same time, it caught those Supreme Beings off guard.

The next time you go in, it will definitely not be as easy as the first time. In the end, it may not be as simple as just leaving behind a physical body and a primordial spirit.

One must be strong to succeed; living like a rat in the sewers is not a long-term solution.

Boom...

As Tan Lin's remnant soul flew out of the cave, the passageway that had formed behind the stone wall disappeared, and the two causal main lines connecting the Soul Pearl barrier became increasingly blurred and dim.

He memorized all these details, and then used his Origin Technique to connect with the terrain and arrive at the dragon vein node of the secret world outside.

Within the node, the primordial and primordial energies mingled. Although not the purest primordial energy of all things, the natural terrain had created a natural spirit-nurturing array, making it ideal for nurturing spiritual objects and preserving the immortal divinity within rare treasures.

hum...

However, before he could take out his previous harvest from the Undying Mountain from a small jade urn, he discovered that some fireflies were starting to grow again inside the second deep crimson light spot, which had been completely depleted!

Looking at the first deep crimson dot that is currently in use, the fireflies within it, which are also causal points, are already overflowing.

Tan Lin's expression shifted slightly. He paused his actions and, with the macroscopic vision brought by the [Reverse·All Causes Perspective], quickly located the causal thread that was generating and transmitting a large number of fireflies.

It was a thick, bright line, unlike any other light crimson line, its color falling between light and dark crimson.

Each vibration brings him immense firefly benefits.

"It really was that little girl..."

Tan Lin lowered his eyes, vaguely understanding what had happened.

When he left the training tower, he casually left a trace of his subjective will in the Quasi-Emperor Array Diagram and his small world. The humanized treatment he had just done unexpectedly benefited him.

"The Soul-Slaying Array outside the tower is still there, but it's not very convenient to directly connect and sense it with our thoughts. We'll have to wait until we get back to investigate the specific details..."

With a slightly better supply of Soul Bead fuel, Tan Lin's mood improved considerably, dispelling the gloom brought by the unresolved doubts.

Without further delay, he began to deal with the rare treasures stored in the small urn.

First and foremost are the withered branch and seeds of the ancient tea tree that attained enlightenment, and the rare and precious variant of the Nine Netherworld Resurrection Grass.

He meticulously used a small amount of divine essence liquid, which he had also found in the Undying Mountain, to seal it before placing it inside the dragon vein node.

These ancient tea trees, once removed from the unique environment of the Immortal Mountain, are extremely difficult to survive.

But right now, this is just a seed that has not yet grown after its rebirth. After being sealed with divine energy, there is no need to worry too much.

As for how to make it survive afterward?

There will be plenty of time and energy to try in the next life.

If constructing a small world resembling the unique environment of the Undying Mountain using great supernatural powers fails, then find an opportunity to cut off a few peaks from the Undying Mountain to plant trees...

There are always more solutions than problems, but the prerequisite is to have the seed of the elixir of immortality in hand before it's even possible to try.

Actually, it was his good fortune. He originally only intended to break off a branch or leaf when he entered the Undying Mountain, but who would have thought that he would encounter the seed of a divine medicine, which gave him the opportunity to bring it out of the forbidden area.

Otherwise, if it were an ancient tea tree that had already grown and attained enlightenment, he really wouldn't be able to take it away.

"There's always a way to make it survive..."

Tan Lin's thoughts raced.

The Undying Mountain was formed during a massive upheaval before the Primordial Era. Later, due to its unique environment, supreme beings gradually settled there in the early stages of the Desolate Era, and it was then upgraded to a forbidden zone in this era.

The ancient tea tree of enlightenment existed long before the formation of the Immortal Mountain.

If it is true that one cannot survive without the Immortal Mountain, then how did the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree survive to this day?

Nothing is absolute. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is omitted.

Whoosh!

At this moment, under Tan Lin's spell, the Divine Source Liquid enveloped the withered branch seeds and the rare Nine Nether Resurrection Grass variant, and then quickly solidified into a block.

For a moment, the dragon vein node was filled with divine light.

However, there wasn't much Divine Source Liquid left, and it was completely used up after sealing these two items.

Other items, such as two top-grade medicinal kings, more than ten medicinal kings of various sizes, a fist-sized dragon-patterned black gold, as well as many ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and several divine golds, could only be placed within the dragon vein node.

However, this place is filled with spiritual energy and is a secret land of the ancient clans, where the Medicine King and spiritual herbs can take root and grow normally.

the end.

Tan Lin used the Supreme Source Technique to outline divine patterns, completely concealing the aura of these rare treasures and merging them with the dragon vein, waiting for his next incarnation to claim them.

however.

Not long after all this was completed, a sudden change occurred in the outside world, causing him to linger in the secret little world for a while longer.

The reason is that he discovered through the [Perspective of All Causes] that the Dao body of the Carefree Celestial Venerable once again emerged from the forbidden zone, this time descending upon the Northern Region and then moving to this Central Region.

Thus, he was forced to lie low in the secret realm of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan, keeping a close eye on the every move of the carefree Daoist.

Under the [Perspective of All Causes], he sometimes saw the Dao Body represented by the anchor point going to the Central Plains, to the Southern Ridge, to the Northern Plains...

The other side practically traversed the entire Beidou region, frequently traveling back and forth to the training grounds in the southern region, and finally even making a round trip outside the region.

Of course, this kind of Dao body is not comparable to the faith body of the Immortal Emperor, because the true body is in a state of self-severance and self-sealing. After it manifests, the time it spends outside at one time will not be too long.

During this time, that body would often disappear into thin air and then emerge from the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

In response, Tan Lin switched between the [All Causes Perspective] and [Reverse All Causes Perspective] states, closely monitoring them while simultaneously taking measures to consolidate cause and effect and shield the secrets of heaven.

He suspected that the other party was conducting a thorough search of his location, perhaps it was just a random search, or perhaps it was to confirm some of their own conjectures.

I want to know if he can really keep track of their movements.

However, he was starting to feel the strain of this prolonged ordeal.

The Celestial Venerable of Freedom travels and probes outside with only a physical body, or perhaps even just a wisp of divine thought, at a very low cost, while he is constantly consuming the fireflies within the deep crimson light.

Once the fireflies are exhausted, if an emergency occurs, he won't even be able to reincarnate.

Even without unforeseen circumstances, rebuilding the foundation would be a lengthy and unpredictable process.

Is this never going to end?

On this day, as the frequency of Xiaoyao Dao's patrols, which involved flying through the sky and disappearing into the earth, increased significantly, Tan Lin's Soul Pearl fuel began to gradually become insufficient.

The rate at which fireflies multiply is far slower than the rate at which they are consumed.

Several months later, even when he activated the Soul Bead at the lowest power, he was already trying to conserve energy.

He would only switch to the [Reverse·All Causes Vision] state when he was close to this secret place or even the training ground in the Southern Region.

However, the faint glow within the second deep crimson dot inevitably ran out, forcing him to resort to the first deep crimson dot once more.

Fortunately, compared to Tan Lin, who could keep track of the other party at any time, Xiaoyao Daoshen wandered around the Beidou Domain like a headless fly for a year before his behavior came to an abrupt end.

One year later, on a certain day.

The gray-robed Taoist priest, holding a jade bottle, soared through the air above the training grounds of the Southern Region. He stood high in the sky, gazing into the distant clouds for a long time, and finally sighed.

For the first time, his sigh was tinged with a hint of helplessness; he felt as if he had exerted his strength but hit a brick wall.

"I hope you really have the guts to go to Zhongzhou..."

He shook his head. He was the one who was tracking, and the one being tracked was the former human emperor, but he felt a strange sense of frustration.
