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

wow...

Right now,

The Empress's mind raced.

In an instant, a thought struck her, and a figure appeared in her mind.

Master?!

She was already emotionally unstable due to the scene she had just witnessed, and thinking of this, those two words almost burst from her throat, making her say them unconsciously.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her mind reeling.

The grief and resentment in her eyes were instantly replaced by an unbelievable, burning light!

clatter……

Without hesitation, she stepped forward.

Then,

The Emperor's divine sense poured out without reservation, beginning to carefully examine this divine source, probing every glimmer of light and every wisp of aura on its surface!

All that was gained was a complete and utter lack of any trace.

During this period, there was no sign of the divine source being broken from the outside.

Everything was natural.

It was as if the person had just happened to be passing by, or...

He returned to a familiar place, just to see the person from the Divine Source. Seeing that he was unharmed, he stayed quietly for a while, did nothing, and then left.

"Master isn't dead? Did he come back?"

The Empress's chest rose and fell slightly as she pondered the possibilities brought about by her intuition.

But the answer was that the chances were extremely slim.

How can this be? !

Even though his master was already at his last gasp, he still managed to unearth his true essence in his final moments.

Even though Master didn't perish on the spot, but instead teleported elsewhere using that incredible "escape technique,"

Given his condition, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be alive today.

After all, he had already consumed the elixir of immortality during the turmoil, and even refined the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Even if there were other divine medicines, they wouldn't have much effect on him anymore.

So, how could Master still be alive?

He's even been here before?

but……

The invisible "difference" between the two instances of this divine source gave her a feeling...

That location,

She thought she must not have misjudged the situation.

Besides Master, who would make that gesture of wiping away tears?

How could it be such a coincidence?

But if Master is still alive, in what state would he have returned?

Could it be... a remnant soul?

Just like when the master and disciple first met,

Only a wisp of remnant soul, by sheer luck, had survived countless ages and manifested from within the ring, bringing her, who was young and inexperienced at the time, a profound shock.

But even with her current level of cultivation, she still couldn't quite fathom that state of a remnant soul.

How can a remnant soul endure?

Moreover, this period spans from the Primordial Era to this Desolate Ancient Era, a period of over a million years.

The Empress had pondered this question.

However, after not figuring it out, she did not take the initiative to ask Tan Lin.

However, at this moment, as these past doubts, along with this current speculation, surged into her mind,

Immediately following this, countless questions, shock, elation, and trepidation arose...

All sorts of thoughts and emotions erupted in her heart like a volcano!

Boom!

thump... thump...

Thinking deeply,

Her heart, which had been lonely for thousands of years, began to beat violently at this moment, and the sound of her blood rushing around her ears roared.

anyway,

That's always a possibility!

"Master...you're still alive, aren't you?"

After a long while, she gradually came to her senses and, facing the empty Spirit Platform Immortal Land, asked in a trembling voice that only she could hear.

The voice, coming through the ghost mask, carried an unprecedented emotional fluctuation.

"If you are alive...why don't you come to see me?"

Why are you avoiding me?

Or is it because, as you know, at the very last moment, and many times before, were you wrong? Or perhaps…

She muttered to herself, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

But then she shook her head forcefully, forcing herself to calm down.

The more she thought about it, the more absurd her answer became.

Is Master deliberately avoiding her, who has already fallen into demonic possession?

Even if she harbors resentment towards him for a time, what would she do to him?

He was her teacher.

Could it be that she, now possessed by a demon, would betray her master and ancestors?

Where has the trust between them, master and apprentice, gone?

wow...

Countless thoughts surged within him.

The empress became increasingly confused as she thought about it.

At this moment, she subconsciously realized that her current self might even frighten her former self if she saw her now.

She was somewhat obsessive.

However, even after attaining enlightenment, she never confronted this phenomenon directly.

The current situation is caused by many factors. The influence of using the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" to build a foundation for one's Dao and eventually achieve enlightenment may be present, but it should only be one aspect.

"Perhaps you have some other concerns?"

wow...

A series of possible thoughts flashed through the Empress's mind, only to be rejected by herself.

Even though she was struggling to calm down, she had to face a reality.

That's all she's guessing right now.

They are all based on their own vague and ethereal intuition.

Whether Master is still alive remains an unknown answer.

Perhaps that was just her imagination?

It was only because it was the answer she most longed for in her heart that she conceived all of this on her own.

That trip to the ancient star where immortals could be formed

Is her heart sick?

The Empress was completely unaware of this.

She slowly reached out her hand, and then very carefully touched the spot on the divine source with her fingertips.

rustling... rustling...

Still nothing was gained.

During this time, she attempted to use secret techniques to rewind time.

But even though blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, she never received confirmation.

Even so, she was still unwilling to give up that idea.

Someone must have been here!

The time was within a thousand years after her last departure.

"You're still alive...you must still be alive..."

She clenched the bronze ring in her palm, her fingertips turning white from the force.

at the same time,

As she muttered her incantations repeatedly, a glimmer of light, never before seen in the dead silence of her eyes beneath the mask, appeared.

Despite the fact that deep within this radiance lies endless unease and uncertainty.

But this tiny possibility of Mars,

For her, who had already sunk into loneliness and darkness, that was enough!

shuh...

Finally, she abruptly stopped and stood up, her eyes flashing like lightning as she began to scan the entire Immortal Land of Creation.

This time,

She used every means at her disposal, striving not to overlook any possible clue.

Aside from the slight anomaly brought about by the divine source, it seemed that there was nothing else different from the last time.

The man arrived.

He only wanted to see his deceased friend who was sealed away. During his visit, he simply wiped away Tianling's tears and then left.

Throughout the entire process, not a single word was uttered, not a trace was left, and the people within the two divine sources were not disturbed.

"Where are you... Master, where are you...?"

The Empress whispered.

Her voice echoed in the silent fairyland, but no one answered.

But her obsessive nature, ever since that fruitless search for her master across the starry sky over a thousand years ago, has been frozen in a deathly stillness for centuries, yet this tiny "possibility" has quietly cracked open a crack in her heart.

She did not stay there any longer.

Now that there is even the slightest possibility, no matter how slim, she is willing to invest a lot of time and energy in it.

Wow!

With a single step, she vanished from the scene in a flash.

She was going to thoroughly search this starry sky for any trace of her master that might exist.

For this reason, she spared no expense to confirm that answer!

No matter whether her master is alive or dead, or in what state he is in, she must find him!

I need to see him alive, or dead...

She also wants to find proof of his existence!
