Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 117 still hasn't come up with a name.

But when the aftershocks of the self-destruction dissipated, Wushi had already vanished.

Kun Di, Wu Shang, and the others looked extremely grim. Were they going to have worked for nothing?

"The Willow Goddess has also disappeared." A cold voice emanated from the orange gourd.

Kun Di, Wu Shang, and the others quickly turned around and charged towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The reason they were able to unite to kill Liu Shen and Wu Shi this time was partly because they feared starting another game of hunting and counter-hunting.

Another reason is the secrets surrounding the two of them, especially since Liu Shen has already embarked on the path to becoming an emperor, and her secrets are of utmost importance.

This is also why the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld invited the Sword King and others.

But now both of them have disappeared? How can this be? Was all our work for nothing?
In the Immortal Realm, over twenty Immortal Kings from other realms, the Immortal King, and the Blade King from the Boundary Sea frantically searched the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, rushing into the lower realms to deduce the truth.

Three months passed, and the group searched through the entire ruined area, but found nothing.

"Fellow Daoist, it's time to compensate with other rewards." The Knife King, Huang Chengcheng's gourd, and several World Sea Kings stood together and pressured him.

They are not poor ordinary people; they have no way to seek justice.

The people from the celestial realm and the other realm both wore bitter expressions. They had worked for nothing; was this some kind of joke?

Last time, forcing Liu Shen and Wu Shi into the Boundary Sea cost a huge amount of resources. This time, I wanted to use the spoils of war as collateral, but I got nothing. It's really frustrating.

In the end, the celestial realm and the otherworldly realm settled the "hiring fee".

There was nothing we could do; the other party had the ability to seek justice.

...............

After the many immortal kings from the alien realm and the immortal realm left, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a Kunpeng nest appeared in the lower realm, a forbidden zone for life was created, and in a desolate wilderness unnoticed by anyone, a charred willow tree also appeared.

An unknown amount of time passed, and some more forbidden zones appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. A celestial palace rose to power, and some other miscellaneous lineages suddenly emerged.

The slogans shouted by these emerging Taoist traditions all say that we once defended the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths against foreign lands, and that we have made contributions to the world.

The appearance of these people enraged the dying Xuanwu Immortal King. Damn the Immortal Realm, they still wouldn't let them go.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm, a group of Immortal Kings led by Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu sneered at the curses of the Xuanwu Immortal King. How could they possibly let it go so easily?

This time, their Immortal Realm gained nothing from their scheme to conquer the Primordial Ancient Realm, and even lost a lot of resources in the process. How could it possibly end like this?

Now that we can't obtain the celestial fortune of the Nine Heavens, we should at least obtain the experience of the path to becoming an emperor that Liu Shen walked, or at the very least, gain control of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Returning empty-handed would not be in line with the usual style of the immortal realm.

…………

After Wushi returned, Jiang Bai stopped the others who wanted to go in. Amidst their puzzled gazes, he said calmly, "Wait a bit. If you're too frequent, you'll easily attract attention."

The others thought about it and agreed. There was no rush, but none of them left. They all sat down outside the ancient and modern place to digest what they had learned during this time.

The first thing Wushi did after returning was to come to the universe controlled by the Yaochi Holy Land and give back to it.

Since the Shrouding the Heavens universe merged with the Immortal Realm, some powerful clans and lineages have each occupied a universe as their own home.

The main selling point is that they are wealthy and powerful.

Even though Yaochi Holy Land is already the second-best lineage in the ancient world, it has already been allocated a piece of the best universe without competing or fighting for it.

After the beginningless time had finished giving back to the world, he came to the place that connects the past and the present and preached the Way to the others.

Jiang Bai glanced at everyone, his lips twitching slightly. There was a power gap; after reaching the Emperor-level Supreme, they went straight to Immortal King—this was unacceptable. Now, he could only hope that the others could quickly grow stronger through the "Land Connecting Past and Present" and step into the Mortal Immortal realm.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai's gaze towards the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the others changed again. They could have directly become immortals in the current Primordial Ancient Realm, but they all refused.

The reason is simple: by taking the path of immortality in the mortal world, one's final achievement far surpasses that of an ordinary true immortal, and one can attempt to break through to the Immortal King level more quickly in the future.

They don't want to be inferior to others; stubbornness is the best description of them.

Although Wushi and Ruthless are now far superior to them in cultivation, and they also acknowledge that the two are far more talented and gifted than they are, they are still not convinced and still want to try to catch up.

"Only someone with this kind of personality can quickly gather a group of capable talents," Jiang Bai thought to himself.

Boom.

The aura of the Immortal King's Great Tribulation instantly swept across the entire Primordial Ancient Realm.

Jiang Bai and the others stared intently, their gazes traversing countless universes before landing on the original Zhetian Universe, on the Big Dipper Star. There they saw the ruthless man standing in mid-air, with countless Dao runes leaping out from the void, pressing towards him and tempering his physical body.

The beams of light from the Great Dao, originating from the past, present, and future, relentlessly bombarded the ruthless man's primordial spirit, causing his aura to constantly evolve, with the auras of various physiques continuously emerging.

Slowly, a tree appeared behind the ruthless man, an ancient tree of the Great Dao that pierced the sky, exuding a solemn divine might, and shared the baptism of the Immortal King Tribulation with him.

Having created his own method to enter the Immortal King realm, and further tempered by the Immortal King Tribulation, the ruthless man's strength will advance by leaps and bounds in the Immortal King realm.

"It's done." Wu Shi said softly, looking at the ruthless man.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial King's Great Tribulation dissipated, and the ruthless man began to give back to the universe.

Jiang Bai could clearly feel the jubilation in the Primordial Ancient Realm. Different cultivation methods and the birth of more powerful Immortal Kings had increased the potential of the Ancient Realm.

Two thousand years later, after Wushi and Ruthless finished their respective sermons and everyone improved their cultivation, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor stepped into the Land Connecting the Past and Present.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's experiences began to unfold in the stone chamber.

As soon as he appeared in the heavens, he was pursued by forces close to the immortal realm.

The leader of the attackers was none other than the master of the Immortal Palace.

The leaders of various sects in the Three Thousand Dao States and the supreme beings of various Longevity Worlds all appeared, hunting down the Blood Phoenix without mercy.

This left Blood Phoenix, who hadn't yet caused any trouble, somewhat bewildered. After investigating, she learned that the Immortal Realm had conveyed a message to her subordinates in the Nine Heavens: hunt down any sudden powerful figures.

After seeing the evolution through the stone chamber, Jiang Bai couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Although the Immortal Realm doesn't know where Wushi, Ruthless, and the others are or where they come from, they firmly believe that they will still come, so they are waiting for them."

Faced with the relentless pursuit from all over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor retorted directly, "He is an existence who has embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world. Who do you think you are, a bunch of supreme beings supported by the Immortal Realm? Die!"

Only a few prominent immortal families, whose members possess the bloodline of true immortals, can inflict some direct damage on the Blood Phoenix; the rest are ineffective.

Of course, there were also reasonable people in the Nine Heavens who were willing to pay attention to Blood Phoenix and secretly save him.

Seeing that Meng Tianzheng was still just a little kid, yet he took the initiative to save her, and seemed to think that the Immortal Realm was stupid, those who sided with the Immortal Realm were even bigger idiots, and only they could succeed by being self-reliant, Xuehuang thought this kid had potential.

Then Blood Phoenix decisively took the child to find the hidden Xuanwu Immortal King, saying, "Child, you deserve an immense opportunity."

Jiang Bai laughed upon seeing this, and said, "Let me see how far Meng Tianzheng, who has obtained the opportunity to become an Immortal King and knows the path to immortality in the mortal world, can go."

The so-called original plot has been completely discarded by Jiang Bai; now it's his time to create.

I woke up late, so I went to get my IV drip done.
