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

"Is it really you...?"

In the snow valley, Tianling's voice trembled slightly.

Even though she was almost certain in her heart, she still found it hard to believe.

It all felt like a dream.

She was somewhat anxious, fearing that it was all just a pipe dream.

…………

Southern Territory, Chixia River.

The terrain here is unique, with red mountains stretching endlessly, as if dyed by the sunset, but in reality, they are the blood of a great master in the past.

Within the earth's veins lies a rich essence of metal and earth, the ancestral land where the Xiang clan, with their indestructible golden bodies, has been passed down for tens of thousands of years in the Big Dipper.

At the core of this immortal golden-bodied clan's territory.

There are no magnificent palaces, only an ancient stone village built of red boulders, full of the vicissitudes of time.

If one could penetrate the barrier and look out, one could see a huge abyss in the center of the stone village.

An ancient stele stands in the abyss, its body appearing and disappearing in the mist.

The surface is covered with shimmering patterns, and the Dao patterns seem to be flowing with the Dao itself. Invisibly, they seem to be constantly transforming into strands of invincible fist intent, bursting out from the monument.

However, even members of the Xiang clan would have to personally venture into the abyss to witness such extraordinary phenomena on the stele.

…………

Chapter 72 If he really returns, no intimacy is allowed.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!

If someone enters the abyss, they will see several ancient characters engraved on the monument.

This ancient stele existed first, and then this land of the Xiang clan was gradually established through the descendants of a certain Dacheng Jinshen.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

Far outside the clan's territory, Xiang Li, carrying Tan Lin wrapped in a divine silk robe, and several clansmen transformed into streaks of light and quickly returned.

After leaving the snow valley, the wind and snow were almost nowhere to be seen as we traveled this far.

Today seems to be a rare good day in this area; although it is the dead of winter, the weather is sunny and breezy.

A few wisps of smoke, whether from cooking fires or from alchemy and rituals, rose from within the stone village, creating an atmosphere of perfect peace.

Wow!

At this moment, the bloodlines within Xiang Li and the others were activated, and they silently passed through the invisible magic array protecting their clan's territory, landing in an ancient courtyard deep within the stone village.

"Chieftain!"

"Brother Li, you're back!!"

Inside the courtyard, several elders who remained sensed the presence and immediately came forward to greet them.

When they saw the exquisitely beautiful baby in Xiang Li's arms, who, though fast asleep, had a body that naturally exuded a faint golden glow.

One by one, they were so excited that their beards trembled and tears streamed down their faces.

"Excellent!! Xuanjian was right after all! This bloodline... is truly incredible..."

"May God bless my people!!"

"It really is... a first-generation bloodline born from nature!"

An elderly clansman with white hair and beard spoke in a trembling voice, wanting to reach out and touch the baby, but fearing to disturb him, he withdrew his fingers when he touched Tan Lin's chubby little face.

"Now is not the time for you to get excited! Quickly! Activate the ancestral hall's restrictions! From this day forward, the security around the ancestral hall will be raised to the highest level!"

Xiang Li, with a solemn expression, swiftly and methodically issued the order:

"This matter concerning this child is to be known only to those within the palace today; it is strictly forbidden to divulge it to outsiders!"

As he spoke, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, sweeping across every face present:

"If any rumors have spread outside recently, especially if they reach the ears of a power like the Feathered Divine Dynasty, they will be thoroughly investigated and dealt with according to clan rules!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, as they all knew that this matter was of great importance.

The birth of a first-generation immortal golden body bloodline, and a divine child born from a sea of ​​suffering that opened itself, with extraordinary phenomena attracting auspicious omens to the land.

If this matter were to spread, it would attract countless different gazes from the outside world. Some of their old enemies would also be moved by the news, and might even unite to bring about the annihilation of the Xiang clan!

Next.

After giving instructions on some important matters, Xiang Li personally settled Tan Lin in a quiet room next to the ancestral hall.

He personally worked in the quiet room for a long time, filling it with nurturing array patterns and surveying the surroundings...

A while passed.

On the not-so-firm, warm jade bed, Tan Lin breathed evenly, his small body autonomously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth gathered by the array.

The size of the sea of ​​suffering where his body's chakras are located seems to have increased over time, and the golden luster of the seawater in the sea of ​​suffering has become more intense.

Outside the quiet room.

Xiang Li then arranged for people to take turns looking after him, in groups of three, and did not assign anyone to look after him alone.

…………

at the same time.

A stunningly beautiful figure returned to the Chunqiu Pavilion's lineage.

Gu Qingying sat cross-legged in the quiet room, her aura restrained.

Deep within Sendai, the twin souls slowly opened their eyes, one purple and one gold.

"Did you really confirm the child's identity when you caused trouble in the snow valley?"

Princess Shencan's consciousness stirred up fluctuations within her soul.

"Why ask such a question? Our souls have been forcibly fused together, and our seas of consciousness have been connected for hundreds of thousands of years. My understanding is your understanding, isn't it?"

Tianling said calmly:

"In the snow valley, you didn't stop me, wasn't it because you also sensed something? It's just that this wasn't something you experienced firsthand, so you didn't react the way I did..."

During the conversation, Tianling suddenly sighed:

"But to confirm it is not easy. It all stems from a series of coincidences and speculation about the meaning behind those two words."

"That's true. In this world, who can be truly certain about things before they truly come to light?"

Princess Shencan also sighed.

Upon hearing this, the twin consciousnesses within her soul fell silent for a moment.

"However, I trust my intuition; it's probably true."

After a while, Tianling's thoughts arose again, her consciousness fluctuating with a trace of turmoil that had not yet subsided:

"How could there be so many coincidences in the world, such a perfect match in time, and those two words..."

The bronze plaque was extremely unusual. Although she couldn't detect anything about it, she still suspected that there might be a hidden trick left by the other party inside.

"If it really is that Human Emperor, then it's truly unbelievable. He sacrificed everything from the past, yet he hasn't completely vanished..."

Even within her soul, Princess Divine Silkworm's consciousness was still reeling from the shock:

"A first-generation golden body born of nature, such an earth-shattering feat, even those supreme beings couldn't accomplish, right? But... how did he manage to deceive the forbidden zone?"

"Hehe, you're asking me? In our current spiritual state, if I knew, would I be able to hide it from you?"

Tianling chuckled softly, then said in a low, melancholy tone:

"On the other hand, he is in such a weak state now that he is not much different from a real infant. Although he did not explore the Snow Valley rashly before, his memories must not have been restored. Being in that declining Undying Golden Body Clan, his fortunes are unpredictable."

“Haven’t you already made arrangements? Your ‘aunt’ can use this as an excuse to visit him once he’s a little older. Before that, she can also keep an eye on him secretly.”

Princess Divine Silkworm was also laughing at her, but both of their consciousnesses were still filling in the gaps in their thinking:

"However, since our identities are special, we still need to be careful not to arouse suspicion, especially those who plotted against us in the past. Although they have sealed themselves off, they are not dead yet."

"Don't worry, I'm careful. I didn't bring the child back directly because of this consideration."

Tianling responded.

“I know you know what you're doing, but there's one thing we need to agree on first…”

Princess Shencan stopped laughing and talking, seemingly very serious.

Tianling remained silent, as if she had already discerned the other party's hidden worries, but was still waiting for the other party to speak.

"Between you and me, hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Even if we have successfully stopped the trend of dissolving into the 'Divine Soul Liquid', our divine souls have already been completely fused together and become one. Even if a supreme being were to intervene, this state could not be reversed."

Princess Shencan's tone turned cold:

"If he really does return one day, I don't want to suddenly have another lover who can easily control my emotions, and I certainly don't want to get too close to someone I've never actually met, even if that person is the former emperor..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tianling scoffed:

"You yourself said that we are inseparable, and at that time, you won't have a choice!"

"you?!"

"You should know that during the forging process, your cultivation was inferior to mine, and your soul's rank was naturally slightly lower than mine. This soul has never been dominated by you..."

Chapter Seventy-Three: Chi Yao and Chi Xuan

Unlike the Xiang clan in the southern region, who are now accustomed to being cautious and prudent, this clan is in decline.

On the same day, in the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness, the Chi family, whose strength was at its peak, presented a completely different picture.

The valley, now filled with sprawling palaces and magnificent scenery, has been swept away from its former tranquility. From this day forward, it is destined to be bustling with activity for a long time to come.

In a few days.

The Chi family's territory was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with a magnificent auspicious light surrounding it, creating a festive scene that was rarely seen in ten thousand years.

The reason is simple: Qin Suyao, the Daoist partner of the current patriarch Chi Tianfeng, finally gave birth to twin daughters after a long pregnancy of one year and seven months.

This result was completely unexpected by the entire Chi family.

Because the clan elder initially deduced using a secret method that Qin Suyao had only one fetus in her womb.

Unexpectedly, when the children were born, they were a pair of twin lotus flowers!

Moreover, these are not ordinary twins, but two baby girls whose innate physical qualities and talents are absolutely amazing, even astonishing.

The firstborn sister, Chi Tianfeng named her Chi Yao, remembering the hardships his wife had endured during her long pregnancy.

This fetus was the innate Dao fetus that the elders of the previous tribe had all suspected.

Its birth immediately resonated with the invisible laws of heaven and earth in the surrounding valley.

Upon entering the world, one is surrounded by a hazy purple aura and Daoist charm, naturally close to all Dao.

There are unofficial historical records about the Chi family.

This type of physique will only encounter bottlenecks in the later stages of the Sendai Secret Realm; in the early stages, cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking.

"Madam, you've worked hard..."

At this moment, in the ancient pavilion, Chi Tianfeng looked at his wife with a tender expression.

After a series of sweet, gentle words that would make any bachelor cringe, he took his eldest daughter from Qin Suyao's arms.

What the eye sees is the tranquil and peaceful Primordial Embryo Pool, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Her eyes were clear as a deep pool, and sometimes faintly shrouded in a purple mist, as if reflecting the trajectory of the stars in the sky.

This scene amazed the couple for a long time. This creature, which had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation and had just been born, already seemed to display unparalleled immortal beauty.
