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

hum...

As she was about to break through to the next level, the faint purple aura emanating from her body flowed out once more, blending seamlessly with the surrounding lake and mountain scenery, creating a breathtakingly beautiful picture of a fairy cultivating in seclusion.

Seeing this from a short distance away, Tan Lin did not refuse.

Today, he depleted some of Xiang Jun's essence, and although the loss was not significant, it still needs nourishment and recovery.

This spirit lake is extraordinary. Combined with other elements, he should be able to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm while recovering.

Wow!

He quickly flew to the other side of the lake, found a flat rock protruding from the water, and sat down cross-legged there as well.

His location was separated from Chi Yao's by a thousand-foot lake, one on the left and one on the right, occupying the two extremes of the place, as if they were facing each other from afar.

Seeing that the two had entered a meditative state, Chi Xuan found a slightly higher blue stone in the lake and sat down.

Since she was to protect the two of them, she naturally did not start cultivating immediately.

Time passed slowly.

Bored, she rested her chin on her hands, her gaze sometimes shifting between her sister and Tan Lin, and sometimes looking down at her reflection in the water, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

click... click...

Suddenly, after the man and woman, who were standing at opposite ends of the Nine Apertures Spirit Lake, had been sitting quietly for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

The rock they were sitting on began to tremble slightly, gradually decreasing in height until the two of them disappeared beneath the surface of the water.

Splash...

The lake water soaked their clothes and hair.

At this moment, every pore on Tan Lin's body seemed to be absorbing the essence of creation contained in the lake.

He calmed his mind and used this essence to nourish his damaged origin, but he was not satisfied with this progress. He then took out the bottle of the essence blood of the Xiang family ancestor's Great Completion Golden Body from underwater.

Wow!

In an instant, the nine-colored lake suddenly gained another color.

In the area where Tan Lin was located, it was as if a crimson-gold divine sun was about to break through the surface of the lake underwater.

This scene caused Chi Xuan on the shore to freeze in shock, ending her reverie.

With a gentle wave of her jade-like hands, her primordial spirit body erupted with divine power, connecting with the Dao patterns here, restraining the commotion caused by this strange phenomenon to one side, preventing it from affecting her sister, Chi Yao.

However, this strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment.

Tan Lin clearly did not consume the essence and blood in the bottle.

At this stage, he simply doesn't have the conditions to refine it. Even if it doesn't burst, it would be too wasteful.

Right now, he simply uncorked the bottle, brought the bottle to his mouth and nose, gently inhaled the invisible aura emanating from it, and then put it away.

boom……

But even just absorbing that one breath of perfect essence caused his indestructible golden body bloodline to erupt completely.

His primordial energy circulated within his body, and combined with the refining of the substances created in the lake, his damaged primordial energy was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even more so than before.

hum!

As Tan Lin frantically devoured the essence of creation and his energy surged back, Chi Yao on the other side also made a move.

Unlike Tan Lin, she did not create a massive whirlpool in the water. Her initial movements appeared much "smaller," yet they seemed even more mysterious.

Suddenly, the purple Daoist aura flowing around her became more active.

The divine Daoist aura seemed to come alive, emanating in wisps and threads, quietly blending with the misty spiritual energy on the lake, the gentle breeze flowing through the surrounding valleys, and the starlight falling from above...

At this moment, Chi Xuan had a strange feeling.

It was as if her own sister had become the center of this world, a node in the great Dao's veins.

Splash...

next interest.

The endless fragments of Dao principles and the essence of heaven and earth within and outside the lake converged and merged towards Chi Yao in an incomparably harmonious and natural way.

In the water, the aura she exuded became increasingly ethereal and otherworldly, as if in harmony with the Tao.

Her breakthrough was silent yet astonishing.

There were no violent energy fluctuations, but her foundation and origin were transforming at an alarming rate, and her understanding of heaven and earth was deepening rapidly.

Within the five major organs of the Dao Palace, the illusory images of the five innate Dao embryos became increasingly solid, as if they were about to give birth to real life.

Not only that, the energy between her saccharine sea and the four poles is also undergoing a sudden change.

boom!!

Finally, surging tribulation clouds gathered above the barrier.

At this moment, she stepped into the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the commotion of her breakthrough truly erupted.

Beneath her white clothes, which appeared transparent when wet in the water, her spine shone faintly, a warm, jade-like color, with Dao patterns seemingly naturally formed on it.

Threads upon threads, mysterious and unfathomable.

Instantly, a cool, lofty, and profound atmosphere, close to the Great Way, permeated the lake.

Rumble!!!

At that moment, her Dragon Transformation Tribulation struck down, causing the Nine Apertures Spirit Lake to boil, and the surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) inevitably became violent.

Before Chi Xuan, who was already prepared, could take action to block out the commotion, a clear voice rang in her ears:

"No need."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a mix of confusion and annoyance.

She kindly offered to protect someone, but it seems that the person is unwilling.

It's a classic case of good intentions being wasted. Even if many members of the Chi family wanted this, they wouldn't receive such treatment...

Whoosh!

However, this idea of ​​hers was destined not to last.

In the lake, Tan Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His original essence had been fully restored, and his figure slowly rose from the water, neither dodging nor avoiding the annihilation lightning energy surging around him.

At this moment, it was as if he was remotely comprehending the innate Dao embryo that Chi Yao had manifested after her breakthrough.

boom……

Immediately afterwards, his cultivation also took that step.

…………

Chapter 117 Chi Yao Was Affected Instead

Whoosh!

Rumble... Rumble...

On the Nine Apertures Spirit Lake, the moment Tan Lin emerged from the water, Chi Yao's tribulation of transformation into a dragon had already begun.

Outside the valley, crises clouds intertwined with purple lightning hung low, carrying the awe-inspiring might of annihilation. Ignoring the barrier, bolts of purple lightning as thick as bowls tore through the sky.

The lightning bolts struck the white-clad figure that had also emerged from the lake.

Chi Yao stood gracefully on the lake, her white dress, soaked by the water, clung to her delicate body, outlining her slender, budding figure.

Facing the descending lightning, her expression remained calm and composed, her starry eyes reflecting the boundless purple light.

During this time, she did not form any hand seals, but the Daoist aura around her flowed on its own, evolving into illusory images of Daoist lotuses, which faced the heavenly thunder.

boom……

Above, the Dao Lotus collided with the lightning, unleashing a dazzling light that illuminated most of the Tianchi Mountain Range at night. It lasted for three breaths before disappearing without a trace.

This undoubtedly alarmed the entire Chi family.

But this was far from over, as one layer of tribulation clouds after another gathered.

Looking at Chi Yao's location, after entering the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, her aura was rising at an incredible speed.

Transformation into a dragon!

Dragon Transformation II!

Dragon Transformation Three Transformations...

Her foundation in Dao is extremely profound. It is unknown how much effort and resources she has invested in cultivating it. Now, she has accumulated enough strength to break through several minor realms and shows no signs of stopping.

Da...da...

At this moment, she lightly touched the ground with her jade-like feet, her wet, dark hair cascading down her waist, and her graceful figure ascended into the air step by step.

Her steps were steady and deliberate, each step seemingly in harmony with the path of the universe.

With each step taken, a bolt of lightning strikes down from above, each bolt more terrifying than the last.

This was already her third step, but beneath her semi-transparent white dress, her long, slender legs continued to move.

However, she was not the only one making a commotion on the lake at that moment.

boom!

On the other side of the lake.

That direction was like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

Tan Lin's body was filled with a radiant, pale golden aura that emanated from his body and soared into the sky as if it were materialized outside his body!

His vital energy surged like smoke from a wolf's beacon, reaching straight up to the heavens and even breaking through the tribulation clouds that shrouded Chi Yao above the valley.

This caused the person undergoing tribulation to look at them with slight surprise.

Tan Lin's aura, which was originally as deep and mysterious as an ancient well, now resembled that of a primordial beast that had been unleashed and awakened from all its shackles.

The invisible barrier beyond the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm crumbles at the slightest touch!

The first transformation into a dragon!

The first section of his spine, resembling a dragon, radiated brilliant golden light, as if a golden dragon were bursting forth from his spine, its clear roar resounding through the heavens.

Then, his energy continued to rise without any pause.

The second transformation of the dragon!

The third change!

The fourth change!

The fifth transformation!!

He made a "counterattack" and, with a speed even more astonishing than the Jade Pool, leaped over five small steps in succession!

Splash...

The abundant essence of the Nine Aperture Spirit Lake beneath his feet, along with the surging and violent vital energy of heaven and earth,

At this moment, it seemed to transform into a huge whirlpool like the eye of the sea, and suddenly rose up, merging with his body, frantically pouring a massive amount of the essence of creation into his body.

crackling sounds...

At this moment, the indestructible golden body bloodline within him was cheering and roaring!

Every inch of flesh and blood, every inch of bone, and the internal organs that nourished him were undergoing a tremendous transformation.

The pale golden luster in his blood grew deeper and brighter, and his origin underwent another transformation, becoming even more powerful.

"This...how is this possible?! Has he gone mad? Is he influenced by his sister's breakthroughs in several realms, and now he's so competitive that he's only focused on advancing his cultivation level and neglecting the accumulation of his foundation?"

Seeing this scene on the lakeside stone, Chi Xuan was deeply moved, but her eyes were full of confusion.

In fact, she had no choice but to think that way.

Including the threshold of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the opponent broke through six realms in a row without any pause in between, which is truly unbelievable.

Her breakthrough was achieved without any solid foundation-building measures, so although she broke through later, her current realm is already above that of her sister.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let them go into the lake together..."
