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

At this moment, she sat sideways by the pool, with only her slender and delicate feet soaking in the moderately warm spring water.

Splash...

Her ankles were exquisite and flawless, like the most perfect work of heaven. Her ten toes, stained with light purple nail polish, unconsciously curled up slightly, stirring the water and creating ripples.

On one side, a pair of sheer, gossamer-thin silk stockings were casually draped over the colorful stones by the pool.

This inadvertently adds a touch of allure to the ancient imperial mountain's secret realm.

"Since the body of faith is gone, it seems the real body really did encounter something... How did this Human Emperor know so many secrets? I had no idea where 'him' went before..."

The immortal queen Chun Dai is locked in a deadlock, and she deduces some questions based on the existing clues.

But after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

The commotion coming from the Undying Mountain in the Central Region has subsided for quite some time now.

Seeing that everything seemed to have returned to calm, she simply let her proud, ethereal body gracefully immerse herself in the warm, divine spring.

Within the celestial pool, her celestial body was exquisitely graceful, her skin even more lustrous and smooth than white jade. Amidst the misty celestial vapors and water vapor, she appeared and disappeared, outlining breathtaking curves.

Splash...

Her long, slender legs moved underwater as she walked through the pool, approaching the immortal phoenix herb that constantly emitted endless vitality and divine power.

However, after only a moment of contemplation, she slowly opened her eyes.

There are too many things happening in the outside world today, and she can't really calm down. Some doubts are always lingering in her mind.

"Now that the news that he is not dead has been confirmed, I'm afraid even my place will not have peace from now on..."

The Immortal Queen pondered:

"The water has indeed been muddied, but it's muddied way too much..."

She felt she needed to make plans early.

Now that the Immortal Daoist has left, although the feeling of being watched is gone and she has gained a sense of freedom, it also means that one of her greatest supports has been temporarily lost.

And now, this great era is about to begin.

As one of the former burial grounds and dojos of the immortal emperor, this place inevitably attracts some beings who come to explore it.

Her cultivation level of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor seemed to be the pinnacle on the surface, but she herself knew that it was absolutely insufficient in the face of those beings.

Even though this ancient imperial mountain has a nearly flawless Heavenly Emperor Array, the mountain outside the secret realm is engraved with densely packed Heaven-Suppressing Patterns.

However, ever since that human emperor silently infiltrated this place last time, she felt that the safety level here had been greatly reduced.

Although the Ancient Emperor's Grand Array was not activated in advance to fully revive last time, the arrival of that being only served as a warning.

If they really manage to break in, the array will collapse in no time.

"Should I continue to stay here? But... if I don't stay here, where can I isolate myself? I can't really leave this world..."

My thoughts were in turmoil.

For some inexplicable reason, a handsome figure in white robes and wielding a silver spear appeared in the Immortal Queen's mind...

Suddenly, she slowly closed her eyes, and her head plunged into the water.

Whoosh!

After sinking to the bottom of the pool, she didn't resurface for a long time, having cleared her mind of all distractions.

Although she and that person seemed to have some lingering connection in private, she knew better than anyone the terror of the Immortal Emperor, and she would never do anything out of line.

Moreover, compared to the Undying Emperor, Ning Fei, as the number one divine general, is indeed rather disappointing.

There's no reason for her to abandon the powerful Emperor and instead focus on trivial matters instead of pursuing something of lesser value.

"In all things, comparison is the thief of joy..."

Bathing in the sacred spring water, she sighed softly.

However, for no apparent reason, the scene of the human emperor interrupting her bath last time suddenly reappeared in her mind.

In an instant, her cheeks flushed crimson, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Ning Fei had no chance to see her body except for the Undying Emperor, yet the Human Emperor had seen it for free, which made her very resentful.

But facing such a figure, judging from today's confrontation, even beings like the Immortal Daoist and the Carefree Celestial Venerable seem helpless against her, so what can she do?

Tick!

Her mind was in turmoil, and she knew that it was unlikely that she could comprehend the elixir of immortality in her current state. So she slowly stepped out of the pool.

A beautiful woman emerging from her bath is naturally extremely beautiful.

The Immortal Queen's cascading black hair clung wetly to her smooth back, and glistening droplets of divine spring water slid down her perfectly sculpted waist and hips to the ground.

She gracefully and slowly draped her flowing dress over herself, and all around was silent.

From any angle, she possessed an unparalleled beauty, exuding both the noble grace of an empress and a subtle, deep-seated allure.

Especially her phoenix eyes, which could make the sun and moon pale in comparison and make all living beings fall in love with them.

Finally, she sat down by the pool and took out a pair of semi-transparent silk stockings to put on her fair feet.

It was unclear what she was thinking at that moment, but a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on her red lips.

However, at that moment, a strange movement suddenly arose within the secret realm.

The radiant beauty of the Immortal Queen's face froze, and her expression changed.

hum...

The void ahead was now rippling silently like a curtain of water.

A crimson mist, invisible to her, spread out, and a figure appeared out of thin air before her without any prior warning!

She looked around and saw a figure that was very familiar, but unlike last time, its form had solidified.

Even though its imperial aura was already contained upon its return, the invisible power that transcended all things still caused the air within the entire secret realm to freeze instantly.

This person is undoubtedly Tan Lin.

With the Ancient Emperor Mountain Formation now operating at high power, it was indeed not easy for him to infiltrate.

But just as he arrived at the depths of this secret realm, for some reason, he stumbled upon the Immortal Empress bathing again, and then witnessed the entire process of her changing clothes after emerging from the water.

He didn't know why the other person was always soaking in the sacred spring every time he came.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a despicable person who deliberately chose this moment to sneak in.

Do you really enjoy taking baths that much?

Such frequent encounters, if he didn't know that the poor, devoted simp Ning Fei wasn't here, he would have suspected that the other party was having a secret rendezvous with him, already giving the Undying Emperor a veneer of virility.

…………

Chapter Fifty-Four: Pale and Powerless

"You?! It's you again... Why is the Imperial Formation completely silent?!"

Beside the spring, the Immortal Queen stared at Tan Lin, her heavenly voice tinged with disbelief.

How familiar this scene is!

Having learned from her previous experience, this time after emerging from the Divine Source, she personally activated all the restrictions inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Mountain.

She also personally activated the ancient imperial formation, which is now in the process of revival and is constantly in operation.

This place is fraught with danger at every turn, with layers of barriers, enchantments, and array patterns. Even if a supreme being were to arrive in person, it would be impossible for them to break in silently as they did last time!

At this moment, still in shock, she was not fully dressed and was still sitting by the pool, her slender hands putting on a pair of silk stockings for her jade feet.

However, all of these actions were temporarily suspended when Tan Lin appeared out of nowhere.

She even forgot that she was still in a seductive state with her robe half undone, and that her private parts might be exposed.

Da...da...

Ahead, Tan Lin did not answer any of the Immortal Queen's questions.

He walked over step by step, as if strolling in his own territory.

When he reached within three zhang of the Immortal Queen, he slowly stopped.

His gaze calmly swept over the celestial pool behind the stunningly beautiful noblewoman, then his deep eyes swept directly over the breathtaking scenery that could drive any man mad, finally settling on the terrified face of the Immortal Empress, and he said indifferently:

"I have come here only to fetch some spring water."

His tone was very calm, far more common than the everyday exchange of water between neighbors in a village.

Before he could finish speaking...

He didn't give the Undying Queen any time to react, and raised his hand to grab at the spring behind her.

Wow!

next interest.

In the center of the vast fairy pool, at the very core of the gushing spring, it seemed to be drawn by an invisible force.

The massive amount of divine spring water transformed into a water tornado, soaring into the sky and disappearing entirely into his sleeves.

He extracted the essence of the divine spring, which was imbued with the purest life force from the spring's source. It was this very substance that could nourish the growth of the immortal elixir.

As for the diluted "bathwater" used by the Immortal Queen, he naturally looked down on it.

Splash...

At this moment, a large amount of divine spring essence was continuously absorbed by Tan Lin's sleeves.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, and the Immortal Queen didn't even have time to stop it.

Or perhaps, after seeing Tan Lin infiltrate the place so easily, she herself gave up the idea of ​​stopping him.

Swish!

Almost simultaneously, a powerful aura of a quasi-emperor erupted from her body, and azure clouds soared into the sky, instantly dispersing the water vapor around her.

The magnificent phoenix-patterned dress she wore completely covered her body, which was enough to bring chaos to the world.

She retreated rapidly, creating a great distance between herself and Tan Lin.

Even so, she stood gracefully in the distance, her hair disheveled, her face deathly pale, watching Tan Lin's actions. The sense of powerlessness filled her phoenix eyes with humiliation and anger, and even a hint of fear that she could not hide!

She was the immortal empress, the Daoist partner of the immortal emperor, and in ancient times she was also the mother of the world, looking down upon all living beings.

At this moment, how could someone so blatantly ignore us, barge into our self-sealed, bathing place, and forcibly take away the divine spring that nourishes the growth of the elixir of immortality?!

She had experienced this humiliation twice in just over a decade.

Each one is more profound than the last!

And all of this is thanks to the person in front of us!

Even if the other party is the Human Emperor, isn't this going too far?!

In truth, he was nothing more than an "enlightened one" who failed to align himself with the will of Heaven. According to his realm and combat strength, he could at most be considered one of the unconventional enlightened ones...

With all my strength enhanced by the Ancient Emperor Mountain Formation, can I fight against the opponent?

The immortal empress's mind works like lightning.

In that instant, the water level of the spring dropped slightly, almost completely losing its essence and nearly drying up.

"You! Stop..."

She was both shocked and furious as she watched helplessly as Tan Lin took action.

As if knowing she was no match for him, she only shouted at him but did not actually attack him.

Such people are usually very arrogant and will not easily use their strength to attack the weak, but if she takes the initiative, the situation will be different.

Because she could clearly sense the will hidden beneath the calmness of the other person's casual glance.

Indifferent yet resolute.

As long as she dares to make the slightest rash move.

Then, in the next moment, she will probably be met with a devastating blow!

The opponent's condition was completely different from last time; he had returned at his peak and truly had the strength to easily suppress her.
