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

The void rippled without a trace under the shroud of an unknown, divine aura, and the crimson mist flashed by in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, three figures stumbled out.

It was Tan Lin and Li Qingjue, as well as the Six-Eared Macaque who immediately concealed himself after being transferred here by [All Causes of Transfer].

At this moment, the latter was holding a hastily sealed jade box, his face full of anxiety. Before he could say anything after their reunion, he was about to hand the box to Tan Lin.

"Cough cough..."

Under the [Barrier of All Causes], Tan Lin's primordial spirit dimmed to the point of being almost transparent, like a candle flame in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.

He forcefully stabilized his ethereal soul and immediately looked to his side.

Li Qingjue's condition is slightly better.

However, the black dress formed by the Dao principles shattered, revealing a large expanse of blood-stained, snow-white skin. These were remnants of the dignified imperial Dao's slaughter, traces that had been repeatedly broken and reformed in the aftershocks, and which had not been completely eliminated in a short time.

This undoubtedly increased the cost for Tan Lin to maintain his secrecy, but fortunately, his current financial situation has improved somewhat, allowing him to still afford it.

Otherwise, those supreme beings would surely be able to follow these clues and find their way to them.

Wow!

Chaotic energy flickered uncertainly around Li Qingjue.

She gripped the cracked Zhuxian Sword tightly in her hand, her beautiful eyes closed, as she tried her best to regulate her breathing and suppress the "Myriad Paths" alien origin within her body, which was now violently contradicting each other due to injuries sustained during the critical stage of breaking through to the Imperial Path Domain.

Xiao Liu's bright monkey eyes were fixed on Tan Lin's almost collapsed primordial spirit, his eyes filled with anxiety and a trace of lingering fear.

Fortunately, it should still be in time...

"Brother Tan Lin, you... there's still hope, right?"

Xiao Liu's voice was tinged with trepidation as she hurriedly presented the jade box she was clutching to Tan Lin "in front of her".

However, he was afraid that even the precious treasures in his arms would be useless to the other party at this moment.

wow...

The jade box looked ordinary, but it was covered with sealing runes that she had hastily placed.

Even so, there were still wisps of indescribable rich medicinal fragrance and the aura of fragments of the Great Dao that permeated out, making one's mind clear and one's blood slightly agitated.

Tan Lin's illusory primordial spirit looked at Xiao Liu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He naturally recognized the aura and instantly understood why Xiao Liu had suddenly appeared near this perilous edge of the universe.

But he still sighed:

"You...shouldn't have come here."

Tan Lin's voice was weak and ethereal, carrying a hint of reproach, but more so an indescribable emotion.

When he caught Xiao Liu's aura and the object in her arms in the [Reverse·All Causes Vision], he had already guessed seven or eight parts of the cause and effect.

This foolish monkey actually obtained this heaven-defying fortune by sheer chance from the depths of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable's life spring.

Moreover, instead of taking it himself, he risked his life to bring it over at this critical moment.

In this world, some people, things, and events are still worthwhile...

"I...of course I'm coming!"

Xiao Liu's eyes reddened, but she stubbornly raised her head and pushed the jade box forward again, speaking very quickly:

"This is a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, quickly accept it, lest you really die later..."

Nine-Turn Golden Elixir...

Even with the glint in Tan Lin's deep eyes,

The monkey knew what this was, yet it still chose to present this incredible opportunity to itself without hesitation.

Instead of immediately taking the jade box, Tan Lin glanced at Xiao Liu's blood-stained golden retriever and the genuine concern and anxiety in her eyes.

This sentiment is too heavy.

He knew that Xiao Liu's acquisition of this pill from the life spring of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao must have been no easy feat.

In those places, the Four Swords of Spiritual Treasure were originally stationed.

Even though the four swords flew away later, the core area was not a place that could be entered at will, even for someone who had inherited part of the spiritual treasure's legacy.

"Master, there's no time to lose!"

At this time,

Li Qingjue, who was adjusting her breathing, forcibly suppressed her churning blood and opened her beautiful eyes.

Her eyes remained cold and lonely, but when she looked at Tan Lin, there was an undeniable toughness hidden deep within them.

It was as if she would force-feed Tan Lin the pills even if he refused.

This was truly like a completely different person from the previous filial disciple who almost always understood Tan Lin's every word and never disobeyed his master's orders.

After saying that,

She silently circulated her cultivation technique, spreading her chaotic energy to form a thin layer of mist that distorted spacetime and the secrets of heaven, enveloping the small area where the three of them were.

This would reduce Tan Lin's "wear and tear".

This is one of the innate talents of the acquired chaotic body, though it is not enough to deceive the Supreme Being for long.

However, it is still possible to disrupt its exploration in the short term and buy some time.

Tan Lin looked at the two people in front of him.

One risked his life to deliver the medicine, while the other, despite being injured, did his utmost to cover for him.

The coldness and exhaustion that had arisen in his heart from the repeated bloody battles and his depleted strength seemed to be quietly melted away by a warm current.

He did not hesitate.

"it is good."

The illusory primordial spirit nodded, its voice still weak, but now carrying a hint of decisiveness.

Immediately, with a thought, the jade box held by Xiao Liu opened automatically.

In an instant,

Wow!

Nine-colored celestial light soared into the sky, and an extremely rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the air.

With just a wisp of breath, the shattered stardust around it seemed to come alive, and phantoms of grass and trees grew out of thin air.

Wheel and wheel...

A pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, flowing with nine-colored celestial light, and with natural Daoist patterns interwoven on its surface, lay quietly in the center of the jade box, yet it seemed to pulsate slightly as if it were alive.

shuh...

Tan Lin's illusory primordial spirit opened its mouth and inhaled, and the Nine-Turn Golden Pill transformed into a nine-colored stream of light, disappearing into his almost transparent primordial spirit.

The moment the elixir "enters" the body,

An unimaginably vast amount of life essence and fragments of the Great Dao exploded out!

It is not only the supreme medicinal power to prolong the emperor's life, but also contains the essence of more than one immortal divine medicine used to refine this pill, as well as some fragments of the imperial level of the Dao that were incorporated into it when it was refined in the past!

For ordinary cultivators, even those at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, this power would be difficult to digest in a short time.

As for Tan Lin, it wasn't something he could refine instantly.

But for him right now, this elixir was truly a godsend, like rain after a long drought.

His self-created "Myriad Self" Great Dao inherently requires a massive amount of different Great Dao Laws and related insights as "bait" to drive the evolution of the Dao Fruit and complete himself.

At this moment, the immense medicinal power of this Nine-Turn Golden Pill and the unique Dao fragments contained within the Immortal Elixir are simply a supreme tonic tailor-made for him!

hum...

Soon, Tan Lin's almost collapsed primordial spirit, enveloped by the nine-colored immortal light, became solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Let it shine!

The dim crimson-gold light rekindled deep within his primordial spirit, signifying the revival and strengthening of the origin of his indestructible golden body and the withered characteristics of his indestructible true meaning!

More importantly,

The massive amount of fragments of the Great Dao, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly into the nascent Dao Fruit of his "Myriad Self" Great Dao.

His accumulated power, which had almost dried up due to the continuous battles, especially the forced burning at the last moment, was now being frantically replenished and propelled forward!

Click!

It was as if some barrier had been completely broken down.

boom……

Tan Lin's aura began to rise at an astonishing speed, and then underwent a transformation!

His energy, which had dropped due to the disappearance of the "Three Qi Return" state, not only recovered rapidly but also surged forward, reaching an even higher level on the original basis!

"Not enough! We need it even faster!"

Tan Lin's primordial spirit eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He knew that refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir would take time, and even with his foundation, it would take quite a while to fully absorb it.

But right now, what he lacks most is time!

With all living beings facing harvest and the Supreme Beings conducting a thorough search, Chi Xuan and the others are bound to be unable to hide and are in imminent danger.

Li Qingjue was still injured and had not yet recovered, and Xiao Liu's cultivation was insufficient...

"All Causes Soul Pearl, aid me!"

He silently called out to the dormant crimson soul bead deep within his soul.

On the Soul Pearl barrier, within the seventh deep crimson light spot,

The remaining 60% of the fireflies began to burn silently, transforming into a strange power that accelerated the absorption of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir's medicinal power and the fragments of the Great Dao.

During this period, he also promoted the development of his own "All Self" Great Dao and the continuous impact on the Imperial Dao domain in a mysterious way!

This is not a simple infusion of energy, but an accelerated understanding and integration of "Tao" and "Li".

With the miraculous assistance of the Soul Pearl, the efficacy of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was maximized.

Every bit of medicinal power and every fragment of the Great Dao was perfectly utilized, without the slightest waste.

Rumble!

Suddenly, dark tribulation clouds began to gather above Tan Lin's head, where the void had been calm!

It wasn't the kind of tribulation that Li Qingjue faced when he tried to ascend to the throne of a true emperor, but rather a different kind of tribulation that he triggered by his own breakthrough in his cultivation level!

His accumulated knowledge and experience were already sufficient.

It is indeed incredible that he reached the end of the path that all previous generations of Great Completion Undying Golden Bodies could reach in less than a day after entering the Great Completion stage.

But this is both the culmination of his hundreds of years of continuous dormancy and self-suppression in this life, and the profound mystery of the nascent form of the Great Dao of "All Self".

The combined insights and spirituality of the previous incarnation of Emperor Suiren, along with the push from the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir—the "last straw"—[…].

And the [Perspective of All Causes] interferes with and "boosts" celestial secrets to a certain extent...

Success comes naturally; great things are achieved through accumulated experience!

His entire "Tao"

At this moment, the Dao Fruit miniature that had been condensed completely and thoroughly squeezed into the Imperial Dao Domain!

Unlike Li Qingjue, who squeezed in with most of his body, he went in completely and established a firm foothold!

Suddenly, a completely new, vast, and majestic aura arose.

It suddenly erupted from Tan Lin's constantly solidifying primordial spirit and his rapidly reconstructing physical body!

This aura, though lacking the absolute imperial majesty of a true emperor who is in harmony with the will of Heaven and rules over all paths, possesses the supreme authority of being the only one worthy of respect.

Yet it also carries with it a vast and all-encompassing Daoist spirit, evolving through all the heavens.

It also contains an indestructible true meaning and invincible fighting spirit forged through countless battles and tempered by blood and fire!

"This is... Master is about to break through?!"
