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

Helpless, she looked up and stared at the celestial figure in the painting, then froze in place in astonishment.

It wasn't because of the celestial figure's unparalleled appearance and temperament, but because the other party's state was extremely strange!

The light and shadow image reflected by the opponent's primordial spirit had two faces... no, two absolutely different faces, but somehow pieced together!

The left half of that face was holy and noble, with cascading purple hair, elegant palace attire, and an air of disdain for all living beings.

The right half of his face is heroic and dashing, also with purple hair, but half of his body is dressed in gold, with a hint of sassiness and domineering between his brows.

If Tan Lin were here now, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the left half of his primordial spirit is that of the ancient princess Hongyan Tianling from ancient times, and the other half is that of the Divine Silkworm Princess...

……

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Trinity

Boom!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Diagram trembled, and after that primordial spirit absorbed eight of its "divine shadows," it completely took over this powerful artifact.

At this moment, that primordial spirit seemed to have become a deity within the Dao artifact, and even the status of the Dao artifact seemed to have been elevated.

hum...

Strands of light continuously illuminated the surface of the scroll.

The golden, silver, and transparent liquids of the Divine Soul Pool occupied a small portion of the primordial spirit, constantly swirling and emanating a strange, mystical aura.

Two distinct spiritual energies intertwined within the primordial spirit, seemingly in constant conflict yet also merging.

This caused her entire soul to exude an extremely unstable, heart-palpitating, chaotic, yet powerful aura!

"Junior Sister Gu! The Ancestral Master has appeared! Why aren't you paying your respects?!"

Outside the ancient cave, Zhao Lianyue laughed sweetly.

Gu Qingying ignored her and remained silent. She did not give up and continued to try to escape.

Unfortunately, as it turned out, everything she did, all by herself, was in vain under the arrangement of the two ancient royal families.

The divine soul that entered the Dao artifact was indeed the "primordial spirit" that Tianling and Princess Divine Silkworm now shared.

At the end of the Primordial Era, the Holy Emperor of Battle passed away, and the Big Dipper was in constant turmoil. Even ancient royal families like the Tianxuan Ancient Clan and the Divine Silkworm Ridge could not remain uninvolved.

Especially with the ancient imperial weapons of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan already destroyed, the clan is seen by some as a springboard and a stepping stone to establish their authority.

At this critical juncture, the Tianxuan Ancient Clan decisively allied with the Divine Silkworm Ridge, thus stabilizing their position and remaining steadfast in the early stages of the chaos.

But their good fortune didn't last long. Someone risked bad luck to retrieve some of the strange water from the Divine Soul Pool outside the realm. They joined forces with several ancient clans to set up a series of traps and successfully assassinated Tianling and the Divine Silkworm Princess.

Their souls were eroded by the water of the Soul Pool and were unexpectedly melted together.

Fortunately, the pool of divine souls didn't have much water, so in the end, it only exerted a portion of the divine power of the entire pool of divine souls from beyond the realm.

In addition, the timely resurrection of the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe and the surge of imperial power briefly halted the trend of their souls being completely melted into a pool of divine soul water.

However, this is not a long-term solution, as the ancient imperial weapons cannot be revived at all times.

The cultivators of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan and the Shencanling Clan were also unable to find a way to solve this phenomenon.

At the critical moment, Tianling remembered the robot technique that a certain human emperor had told her during a secret rendezvous.

However, upon trying, perhaps because her and the Divine Silkworm Princess's divine souls were only at the Great Sage level, the Weapon Man Technique could not reverse the situation, or even truly stop the phenomenon of the divine soul pool water being refined.

This cannot change the fact that their souls have already merged together.

The two are inseparable and are constantly being melted and assimilated into the state of the Divine Soul Pool.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to reach an agreement with Princess Shencan.

Using a forbidden secret technique of her clan, combined with the art of creating automatons, she severed the shared soul of the two of them into nine parts.

Some of the souls were suppressed by a grand formation, while others resided within the Dao artifacts. This constant alternation greatly slowed down the process of being melted down.

Even so, their condition is still unstable.

Today, the situation is becoming increasingly dire.

If a suitable "carrier" cannot be found periodically, and the abundant vitality of the new carrier cannot be used to cleanse the soul of its gradual decay over the long passage of time...

Their souls may have already vanished before they completely turned into a pool of unconscious, stagnant water.

After all, they were not truly transformed into deities within the vessel; the damage that time had inflicted on their souls still lingered to some extent.

"The time has come! Please, Ancestor, take over the divine body!!"

At that moment, outside the ancient cave, a flash of fanaticism and determination appeared in Zhao Lianyue's eyes.

next interest.

She and Zhao Ling Shuang simultaneously spat out a mouthful of their life essence blood, sprinkling it onto the nine ancient steles.

boom……

The power of the great formation beneath the ancestral land surged instantly!

Immediately afterwards, the celestial figure in the goddess painting suddenly opened her eyes, her left eye a deep purple like the starry sky, and her right eye sharp like the golden sun!

She moved silently, instantly transforming into a streak of purple-gold light, ignoring spatial distance, and rushed into Gu Qingying's brow where the Sendai had fallen!

"No!"

Standing there, completely immobilized by the grand formation, the secret patterns, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Diagram, Gu Qingying could only let out a desperate cry.

Immediately, she felt an indescribable, immense will surge into her Sendai like a galaxy bursting its banks.

Although she was already a Great Sage, Tianling's primordial spirit had already reached the threshold of Quasi-Emperor at the end of the Primordial Era, and was only one step away from entering that realm.

Not only that, the Divine Silkworm Princess's primordial spirit, which merged with her soul, was not the peak Saint King in the original lineage. She also advanced to the Great Saint Realm at the end of the Primordial Era. How could Gu Qingying resist the fusion of the two souls?

Wow!

Almost without a doubt, within the vast Sendai, Gu Qingying's consciousness was instantly shattered into pieces.

It is like a small boat in a storm, a candle in the wind or a lamp in the rain, which may be extinguished at any time.

Seeing this, Zhao Lianyue and her disciple outside the cave exchanged a smile.

They knew that things were already halfway done.

Once their ancestral master achieves his goal, they will also receive their due reward. They will finally be able to dream of the essence of that demigod herb growing in this ancestral land of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan...

However, at this critical moment...

Having already taken over Gu Qingying's Immortal Platform and begun to absorb the memories of the other's sea of ​​consciousness, the twin souls paused slightly.

"This is... his training tower, has it been born...?"

Within her soul, the part of consciousness belonging to Tianling emitted a few emotional fluctuations.

Through Gu Qingying's sea of ​​consciousness, they seemed to "see" scenes from more than ten years before and after the collapse of the training tower.

I saw that clouded leopard, whose behavior was sometimes a bit strange.

At this moment, the deities of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Diagram, whom they had merged with, also began to provide feedback during this period.

"This... how is this possible? Not long ago, 'he' actually reappeared in this world?"

At this moment, the divine soul consciousness belonging to Princess Shencan also fluctuated violently.

Although she and Tan Lin did not live in the same era and had never met, they originally had no feelings for each other.

However, the special state in which she and Tianling are currently united in spirit and soul has already made their seas of consciousness interconnected, which makes her feel as if she is experiencing many of Tianling's experiences herself.

The bonds between them, inexplicably transmitted, were something she couldn't control...

“He was clearly divided up by several supreme beings back then, leaving him with nothing.”

Princess Shencan was initially puzzled, but as she read through her memories and feedback, she gradually came to understand:

"Having sacrificed all traces of the past, it returned briefly... but not long ago, it vanished completely?"

In the Sendai setting, Tianling sighed softly, her voice tinged with melancholy.

In a short moment, her emotions fluctuated, and the joy of discovering that her beloved had reappeared only lasted for a very brief instant.

Things in this world seem to be constantly changing.

This time, by taking over the host vessel, she and the Divine Silkworm Princess could take the opportunity to temporarily leave this place and travel to the outside world, but they just happened to miss each other.

……

Chapter Sixty: I Know "Him" Too Well

"No...no..."

In her dejection, Tianling's expression suddenly hardened.

As they delved deeper into Gu Qingying's memories, she "saw" a faint spiritual connection that had arisen within her after the clouded leopard passed away.

The terrifying aura of the collapsing training tower swept across the area, but the enemy went against the flow of fleeing people and arrived at a ruin.

There, they gained nothing...

However, Tianling believes that this is not the case.

If there are unusual signs, then it is unlikely to be baseless.

She knows someone too well.

She gave her body and soul to someone millions of years ago. During their countless trysts, she could often guess what he was going to do next just by looking at him.

"Have you... truly passed away this time?"

Suddenly, this thought appeared out of nowhere in Tianling's core consciousness and could not be shaken off.

"What will we use the severed peak of the Undying Mountain for?"

After her thoughts shifted, Tianling suddenly discovered even more suspicious points.

At this moment, the invisible pain caused by the melting of the Soul Pool every moment was overshadowed by this sudden discovery and the enormous impact of the meaning behind it!

Clouded leopard...a flash of inspiration...

All the clues seemed to point to an incredible possibility.

From Gu Qingying's perspective alone, through observing the clouded leopard, she could vaguely guess that "his" shadow was behind many things during the more than ten years from the present to the collapse of the Training Tower.

Then let alone her.

If it was truly someone manipulating things behind the scenes, making frequent moves, then based on her understanding of them, it's impossible for that person to have simply passed away like that.

In fact, if someone hadn't periodically activated the [Reverse Causes Perspective] over those ten-plus years, converging the causal lines and severely interfering with Gu Qingying's cognitive judgment, it would have been a different story.

The latter had already figured out some key points and thus deduced many possibilities...

Wow!

As Tianling's thoughts flowed, the twin souls, dominated by the Divine Silkworm Princess, had successfully taken over Gu Qingying's Immortal Platform, firmly occupying it.

Immediately afterwards, the new vitality of this body, so different from their original forms, continuously cleansed away the decay that had grown in their souls over countless ages.

period.

Gu Qingying's primordial spirit was squeezed into a corner, and her primordial spirit consciousness was scattered and fragmented, naturally making it impossible for her to control this body.

She remained in the corner of Sendai, helplessly silent for a long time, and then observed the so-called "patriarch" for a long time.

Ever since she entered this ancient cave, the ancestral home of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and the sudden changes that occurred, too many doubts and surprises filled her heart.

Later, when this contradictory inner energy of the primordial spirit entered her celestial platform.

She had assumed that the other party would seize everything from her and annihilate her completely.

But the reality was something she couldn't understand.

Just as she cannot know the patriarch's state with the existing clues and information, she also cannot understand the patriarch's behavior.

the end.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qingying vaguely sensed that the withered and decaying energy within the ancestral master's soul, which was seated in the center of the altar, had begun to fade.

Immediately, the other party's soul opened its eyes, still displaying those contradictory and contrasting golden and purple pupils.

shuh...
