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

Using that ancient stele as a reference point, this place is most likely the location of the ancient forbidden land in later generations.

The "Path to Immortality" in the post-primordial era also began in this vicinity.

For the past two years, he has been having vivid dreams every day, sometimes experiencing a second life of cultivation, and occasionally awakening fragmented memories of his previous life.

He realized something.

The established order of this world has changed, and it all began with him, this variable.

The origins of the Chixia River region and the reason for the ancient stele's erection seem to corroborate his understanding.

Will the ancient forbidden land reappear in the future?

For no apparent reason, a thought popped into Tan Lin's mind.

But then he thought of his constitution in this life.

He felt as if an invisible hand was pulling the threads that had gone astray back onto their proper course.

Could this ancient forbidden land be located on him?

Will he be the first Lord of the Wasteland?

shuh...

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before Tan Lin extinguished it himself, finding it absurd.

He has absolutely no need to scare himself with unfounded associations.

At this moment, Xiang Li had finished recounting that secret from thousands of years ago, and his gaze followed his to the dark red rock walls.

That wasn't an ordinary red rock.

On those rock walls are countless invisible, broken patterns of the Great Dao, as well as crimson bloodstains that have been integrated into the stone for countless years, yet still emanate from them.

That was the blood of the Great Perfection Indestructible Golden Body...

"Get ready, follow me."

As they spoke, Xiang Li rolled up his sleeves and, with Tan Lin in tow, leaped down a steep slope into the sinkhole.

Whoops!

The wind whistled past their ears.

The crimson mist in the abyss, along with wisps of barely perceptible dark light, surged forth like living things, yet automatically dispersed upon touching the sacred domain unfolded by Xiang Li.

Whoosh...

The two continued to leap down the steep slope.

Tan Lin was in Xiang Li's sacred domain, moving with him. The process was relatively easy, but he could still faintly sense the terrifying aura outside the sacred domain.

At the very least, if he weren't in the Holy Domain, he would most likely have been crushed by those ghostly lights by now.

Whoosh...whoosh...

They fell for unknown distances, the surrounding light grew increasingly dim, until no light from the sky above poured in at all.

Entering the abyss, all around were the crimson bloodstains on the rock walls, emitting a faint light that seemed eternally undying.

Hey!

I don't know how much time has passed.

Finally, my feet touched the ground.

The bottom of the abyss was far more vast than Tan Lin had imagined, both incredibly tranquil and seemingly incredibly noisy.

The faint golden and red light that filled the air made this underground world appear hazy and mysterious.

The ground was dark red gravel, soft to the touch, as if soaked in blood.

The rock walls on both sides exude a peculiar Taoist aura, solemn and tragic, containing an indomitable fighting spirit, but at a deeper level, it also seems to reveal a bit of eeriness.

“There it is.”

Xiang Li pointed to the deepest part of the abyss.

Tan Lin looked in the direction he was pointing.

Tens of thousands of feet away, a huge stone tablet stood in the darkness.

The stone tablet was thousands of feet tall and wide, and its entire body was dark gold. Its material was neither gold nor stone, but resembled both jade and bone.

The monument is covered with mottled marks, including knife and axe cuts, fist and palm prints, and even more so, traces of blood that have not yet dried.

But the most striking feature is definitely the five large characters engraved in the center of the stone tablet with an ancient pattern.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!

The calligraphy was like iron strokes and silver hooks, each stroke seemingly containing the artistic conception of earth-shattering destruction, with invincible fist intent flowing within it.

The two walked forward, slowly approaching the stone tablet, and finally stopped when they were 50,000 feet away from it.

Tan Lin noticed that the sacred domain that Xiang Li had opened was rumbling and teetering on the verge of collapse, as if it would burst open under some kind of high pressure if he took another step closer.

This distance should already be the opponent's limit.

…………

Chapter 85 The Burial Site of Two Great Accomplished Saint Bodies

At the bottom of the abyss.

The two stopped walking, and Tan Lin gazed into the distance.

For a moment, the ancient stele gave him the feeling that it was both right in front of him and yet separated by countless ages.

Wow!

With just that one glance, Tan Lin felt his soul tremble violently, and the golden waves in his sea of ​​suffering suddenly boiled over.

He groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Do not look directly at it with your divine sense!"

Xiang Li reminded him in a deep voice.

He placed a palm on Tan Lin's back, and a surge of powerful holy energy flowed in, helping Tan Lin stabilize his turbulent blood and qi.

The latter closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, taking a long time to catch his breath, but his heart was still pounding.

Tan Lin admitted that he had indeed underestimated the monument.

It's also because he's been frequently immersed in dreams for the past two years.

Interspersed among these scenes were glimpses of him as the "common ruler of humanity," which almost subtly made him forget that in this life he was merely a "little Karami" in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

However, the material of this ancient stele was indeed beyond his initial expectations.

This was forged from the remains of a Great Perfection Holy Spirit!

But after witnessing it firsthand, he realized that it made sense. Anything that could bear such invincible fist intent and be used to suppress and wear down this demonic land at the bottom of the abyss was naturally beyond the capabilities of ordinary things.

Today, the Xiang clan has declined to this state, with only one sage holding the reins. It is hard to imagine that this ancient stele was once one of the clan's former treasures.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see a towering golden figure waving its fist in the endless starry sky.

With a single punch, the six realms manifested, reincarnation shattered, and all paths wailed!

That domineering, invincible fist intent, so supreme and unparalleled, would almost shatter his soul with just a glance.

This kind of fist intent is extremely compatible with the Dao of the Indestructible Golden Body. If one can refine it to the extreme and integrate it into oneself, one can forge a new path and be called "invincible".

This is extremely valuable for Tan Lin to learn from and study, as it can help him tap into more of the potential of his indestructible body.

"This monument was forged by our ancestor before his 'disappearance' using a portion of his perfected essence and fighting spirit, containing the true meaning of his life..."

Xiang Li's voice was filled with boundless respect. He looked at Tan Lin as he spoke:

"This place is treacherous. Usually, the younger members of the clan are only protected by their elders after their cultivation reaches the Immortal Platform Realm. But you are different. Your bloodline is extremely pure, and your talent is unparalleled. Your future achievements may not be inferior to those of your ancestors. Therefore, we are making an exception for you this time..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he no longer looked directly at those words, but instead focused his gaze on the mottled marks on the monument.

Within those traces, a profound martial intent flowed and permeated from the core.

He astutely discovered that the inscription contained the boxing intent of not only the Xiang family's ancestor, Dacheng.

On the remains of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit, it seems that the Great Perfection Golden Body Fist Intent of another Great Perfection Golden Body, whose blood was spilled in the Crimson Cloud River, still remains from countless ages ago.

Although both are based on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, there seem to be subtle differences.

He quickly recalled the secret that Xiang Li had mentioned earlier.

The remains of the Holy Spirit, which were cast into a fist-shaped monument to suppress the demonic land, should be the remains left behind by the Great Perfection Golden Body that perished together with a certain Supreme Being 70,000 years ago.

"Back then, our ancestor used this fist to roam the heavens and earth, defeating all enemies. He even used a single punch to stop a certain being from emerging and causing chaos in the forbidden zone of the Immortal Tomb..."

Xiang Li's voice echoed in the abyss, carrying an indescribable desolation:

"Unfortunately, in our era, for some reason, darkness and turmoil frequently occurred. Our ancestors were able to stop it once, but they couldn't prevent the emergence of supreme beings in the two forbidden zones of Undying Mountain and Divine Ruins later on..."

To protect all living beings, our ancestor fought alone against an ancient emperor from the primordial era, yet he could not stop all the supreme beings who had emerged. It was a bloody battle…

As he spoke, Xiang Li paused, his voice slightly hoarse:

"During the turmoil, the ancestral artifacts and three generations of direct descendants perished in the bloody battles, leaving nothing for the clan..."

Only this ancient stele, originally cast when the Beidou region was first established, contains the essence of the ancestors' martial arts and some traces of their Daoist heritage, which can be considered a legacy for future generations of fortunate disciples.

However, over countless ages, the bloodline has gradually thinned and depleted, and no one in my Xiang clan has been able to truly comprehend the meaning of this stele. Even now, the strongest member of the clan, myself, has only been able to grasp the basics and master a single move in the past three thousand years.

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin fell silent for a moment.

He could sense the heaviness in Xiang Li's words, as well as the deep-seated resentment and loneliness.

The lineage of the Immortal Golden Body was once incredibly glorious.

The Great Golden Body can rival even the Emperor!

But now, they have fallen to this state, with no one able to truly inherit their long-standing and invincible boxing techniques.

"The aura within this abyss..."

Tan Lin suddenly spoke.

"You've already sensed it?"

Xiang Li looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but in the end he could only attribute it to the first generation of bloodline within him.

"This place has become a dead end because of the repeated bloody battles between the most powerful beings.

But even in the most desperate places, there is life. These crimson mists, black clouds, and bloodstains on the rock walls are actually the result of the intertwining of the essence and blood of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit, the two generations of Great Completion Golden Bodies, and the two Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, along with the broken Dao principles.

This is of immense benefit to tempering the physical body and comprehending the true meaning of the Dao, especially for your indestructible golden body with its purest bloodline, it is an unparalleled treasure..."

Suddenly, he took a deep breath and solemnly said:

"Lin'er, now that the great era has begun, your tribulation has attracted the attention of various sects outside, including many of our clan's sworn enemies. It is a pity that our Xiang clan is currently weak and I'm afraid we cannot truly protect you."

"I brought you here today so that you could go into seclusion and fully inherit the legacy of our lineage. We also want you to temporarily avoid the limelight. Although you have amazing talent, you are still quite young..."

After he finished speaking, the abyss returned to silence.

Tan Lin did not agree immediately.

next interest.

As if suddenly sensing something, he slowly stepped forward, but abruptly walked out of Xiang Li's sacred domain.

Wow!

At this moment, his whole body shone with golden light, his indestructible golden body bloodline was activated, and strange phenomena appeared as he slowly walked towards the stone tablet.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Li froze in shock.

Da...da...

Tan Lin walked over step by step.

The closer one gets to the ancient stele, the stronger the desolate and tragic fighting spirit becomes.

The fighting spirit was initially fierce, but when Tan Lin stepped out of the Holy Domain and directly came into contact with the space below the abyss, it was as if he was being given extra care.
