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

And every time I went down there, even though I didn't get any feedback, I always managed to see him.

A sudden thought,

This caused a faint, almost imperceptible smile to appear on Chi Xuan's face, which was already somewhat pale due to the oppressive imperial aura.

however,

How could such a subtle change in her emotions possibly escape the notice of the Empress, who had already locked onto her with her divine sense and was closely monitoring every fluctuation of her soul?

Almost the instant Chi Xuan finished speaking,

The Empress's eyes, hidden behind her ghost mask, suddenly turned cold!

"What are you so happy about..."

The short sentence, like ice falling to the ground, echoed in the cave.

next moment,

The Empress made a move.

Without any warning, she simply and casually raised her delicate hand and gently pressed it down on the top of Chi Xuan's head.

The movements appeared slow, yet they were incredibly fast, as if they had transcended the limitations of time and space.

wow...

Chi Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, and the strange phenomena and radiant light of her primordial spirit body erupted instinctively. Her original divine power was pushed to its limit in an instant, trying to resist, to dodge and struggle.

However, this was destined to be a futile effort.

Before the great emperor of our time,

Especially in front of a great emperor who attained enlightenment through the Chaos Body and whose combat power is astonishing, even though she is a quasi-emperor with a Yuanling Body and has even stepped into the realm of the Emperor, she is as fragile as an infant.

click... click...

That pale white hand seemed to contain the weight of the entire universe.

It easily shattered the divine light that automatically protected her body, ignored all her defensive abilities, and landed directly on her head.

His five fingers, slightly clenched like iron clamps, firmly locked her skull, as if a gentle press at any moment could shatter her head.

"I gave you a chance."

The Empress's voice remained calm, yet it carried a chilling quality that could freeze one's very soul:

"Since you're unwilling to tell the truth..."

"Then let me find the answer myself."

After years of hard work, she has long since lost her patience.

The moment the words fell,

hum...

A domineering and unparalleled divine thought, like the sharpest chisel, brutally pierced into Chi Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness!

"what!!"

In an instant, a mournful cry echoed throughout the cave.

Soul search!

And just like in the past, it was a merciless, violent, and direct soul-searching!

The Empress's divine sense, like a raging torrent, forcefully broke through all the defenses within Chi Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, churning wildly and probing all her memories!

Starting from when he left the Demon Emperor's Tomb years ago

Later, he cultivated his way up to the quasi-emperor level, and then he reunited with Tan Lin.

Then came the various intersections that followed, such as the one-month agreement where Tan Lin exchanged his essence.

Then came the outbreak of turmoil, and the grief following the deaths of his sister, Tan Lin, and parents...

Finally, and most importantly for the Empress, was the question she most urgently wanted to know: how the other party had repeatedly ventured into the abyss to explore, until she finally witnessed the figure floating in the hazy light source...

Splash... splash...

At this moment, Chi Xuan's memories from the past two thousand years unfolded like a scroll violently torn apart.

Scene after scene, frame after frame, were displayed without reservation before the Empress's divine sense.

In particular, besides his past journey around the Big Dipper with Tan Lin during their one-month agreement, there were also the scenes of him seeing Tan Lin each time he descended into the depths of the Crimson Cloud River abyss recently, as well as the changes along the way.

They were all thoroughly investigated and repeatedly "observed" by the Empress.

This kind of deep "reading" can almost make people feel as if they are there.

The Empress witnessed Chi Xuan's shock and ecstasy when she first descended into the abyss at the dawn of dusk and saw the hazy light source between the two giant monuments.

I saw its disappointment and worry as it tried to communicate with the figure in the light source but received no response.

I saw him go down again and again over the next few decades, just to make sure that figure was alright, even if he was just watching from afar.

I also saw him fight that Buddhist master on the Crimson Cloud River, risking his life to stop him from getting close to the abyss and interfering with Tan Lin, who might be undergoing "Nirvana"...

He also sensed the subtle pleasure he felt upon seeing her, a pleasure stemming from his assumption that Tan Lin might not want to see him...

wow...

As time went by, all of Chi Xuan's memories, along with all the emotions she experienced and all her secrets, were laid bare under the Empress's divine will.

As the search for the soul deepened, the aura emanating from the Empress grew increasingly cold and dark.

I searched the starry sky, tracing back through eternity.

Even a single clue about that person after the turmoil was hard to find.

Especially when she personally went to the depths of the Crimson Cloud River abyss, only to find it empty and unable to see him...

At this moment, an indescribable bitterness, anger, and the obsession and resentment that had been suppressed for thousands of years finally erupted completely.

It exploded in her heart like a volcanic eruption!

On what grounds?!

Why is it that Chi Xuan gets to see you every time she goes down into the abyss, but I can't?!

Why are you avoiding me?!

You'd rather exacerbate the potential losses by resorting to unknown means than let me know you're here?!

You won't even let me protect you?!

A thousand-year search, traversing the starry sky, enduring the backlash, and secretly shortening one's lifespan...

And all I get in return is your deliberate avoidance?!

So you actually didn't die back then, but left without saying goodbye?!

So, you've disappeared now?!

boom!

Countless thoughts surged, and the imperial aura that had been naturally emanating from the Empress suddenly became uncontrollably violent!

Strands of dark, demonic energy surged from her body, like a tangible tide of ink, instantly filling the entire cave and shrouding everything within it in darkness!

Beneath her face, covered by a ghost mask,

His eyes had completely turned into a deep, dark abyss, as if capable of swallowing everything.

Among them are madness, paranoia, the urge to destroy everything, and even more so...

Heartbreaking sadness and twisted emotions.

"Heh...hehe..."

A low, trembling laugh escaped from the Empress's throat.

"I see……"

"So...you've always been here..."

"It's just... that they don't want to see me..."

Her hand, which was clasped on Chi Xuantian's head, tightened unconsciously.

click... click...

Chi Xuan's skull groaned under the unbearable weight.

Crimson blood was seeping from her seven orifices, her face was contorted with extreme pain, and her eyes began to glaze over.

The pain brought by soul searching is a form of torture that directly affects her primordial spirit.

Especially when the caster is a resentful and ruthless emperor.

During this time, Chi Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness felt as if it were being pierced and stirred by millions of steel needles at the same time, as if it were being burned on a blazing flame and frozen in ice.

Her primordial spirit was wailing, struggling on the verge of collapse.

If she hadn't been a quasi-emperor with a powerful soul essence, she would have already been annihilated.

Even so, she had reached her limit.

If this continues, her primordial spirit will inevitably collapse, and even if she doesn't die, she will become a mindless walking corpse.

"As you wished, see...see it now? You..."

Chi Xuan used her last bit of strength to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, hatred, and a trace of... pity?

She pitied the other person and searched for a thousand years, only to find such an outcome.

At the same time, she sensed something from the other person's complex emotional fluctuations, and suddenly her gaze towards the other person turned somewhat sarcastic...

She hated the other person even more for using such a domineering and cruel method to once again spy on all her secrets and trample on her dignity.

At this moment, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

Before the reigning emperor, all her struggles and emotions seemed utterly ridiculous.

wow...

The Empress seemed to be hurt by the fleeting pity and mockery in her eyes, and the hand holding her head trembled violently.

But in the end, she did not completely crush Chi Xuan's head, nor did she continue to destroy her collapsing primordial spirit.

She slowly released her grip.

poof...

Chi Xuan collapsed to the ground like a piece of soft mud with all its bones removed, her breath extremely weak, and she fell into a deep coma.

Her sea of ​​consciousness suffered severe damage. Even if she were to wake up, it would likely require a long period of nurturing, and she would probably be left with deep, irreparable wounds.

But the Empress didn't even glance at her, and simply said:

"I won't let you die like this. Live on, even if you're suffering..."

After speaking, without caring whether the unconscious Chi Xuan could hear her, she slowly withdrew her hand, stood still, and the surging demonic energy around her gradually subsided.

But the darkness and obsession in his eyes grew even stronger.

From Chi Xuan's memories, she already knew everything.

They learned that Tan Lin had indeed "fallen into silence" or "reborn" in some special way beneath the abyss of Chixia River.

Knowing the origin of the special field that shrouds the Crimson Cloud River, it must be related to it...

At the same time, she also guessed that, given the other party's special condition, they probably couldn't leave at will...

And that's enough.

But this speculation only fueled the resentment and obsession within her, causing them to grow wildly like weeds, further solidifying that dark thought.

"You don't want to see me..."

"Okay, very good... it's okay..."
