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

Chapter 14 Funeral
Jiang Bai felt that he would definitely be purged by the restricted area in his later years, but he didn't care.

Just because...

"If there's no way out behind you, how can you motivate yourself to improve?"

.........

After leaving the underworld, Jiang Bai traveled all the way to Ziwei Star. He first returned the Sun God Tower to the Sun God Cult, which was another trump card he had prepared. If he couldn't win, he would use it to self-destruct against others.

Furthermore, Jiang Bai helped the Sun God to refine the tower once again.

Later, Jiang Bai arrived at the Taiyin Sect, took out a bunch of materials, refined the Human Emperor Seal again, put the original deity into it, and only after ensuring that the power of the Human Emperor Seal was further enhanced did he return it to the other party.

He also sincerely apologized to the Taiyin Sect, acknowledging that he had indeed gone too far.

To compensate for the spiritual loss suffered by the Taiyin Sect, Jiang Bai generously wrote a cultivation scripture and presented it to them.

It mainly concerns tempering one's own bloodline, and it was obtained by Jiang Bai during his travels through the universe, which he accidentally acquired from the Xue Yueqing inheritance.

After the modifications, humans can also cultivate, especially for forces like the Taiyin Sect that inherit the Taiyin Body.

After all, not every generation can produce a pure-blooded Taiyin body.

The Taiyin Sect was overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Bai was an exceptionally good person.

With the idea that since he was already out, he might as well take a good stroll, so Jiang Bai took the opportunity to wander around the universe.

Let's explore the ancient human path, wander through various secret realms, and see if we can find some more treasures that appeared in the original story.

Like the Mountain Phoenix, one of the eighteen demons of hell subdued by Ye Fan in the original novel, whose true form was a rooster. It gained the qualifications to become a Quasi-Emperor after consuming some remnants of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

If Jiang Bai could find those remnants of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, he would dare to take them to the forbidden zone to make a deal with the Supreme Being.

The residue may seem like trash, but for a supreme being in a forbidden zone, incorporating other divine medicines and refining some immortality elixir essence into it can improve their condition.

In addition, Jiang Bai also wanted to find the Holy Spirit who was being conceived.

Let's see if we can use the other party as a transit point to absorb some of the essence of the universe.

Unfortunately, after three hundred years of traveling, Jiang Bai only collected five fist-sized pieces of divine gold, which could be considered as making up for the loss he suffered when he tried to rebuild the Human Emperor Seal.

Feeling that further travels would yield no results, Jiang Bai returned to Mount Sumeru.

Upon meeting, I, Jiang Bai's god, revealed to Jiang Bai the harvest I had accumulated over the past few centuries.

Thanks to Jiang Bai's victory in the war of gods, he has collected even more faith power.

More and more beings in the universe offered sacrifices to Jiang Bai.

Thanks to the continuous sacrifices from all living beings in the universe, the immortal essence condensed into a size the size of a fingernail in just a few hundred years, comparable to the amount of work done in the previous four thousand years.

As for the evolution of Chaos Blood, that's an awkward topic. However, I, the God of Faith, have summarized some experience, which has given Jiang Bai some direction in exploring the evolution of Chaos Body by referring to the Furnace Nourishing Hundred Scriptures within his body.

The first thing Jiang Bai did upon returning was to reforge the Vajra Pestle and apologize to the Buddhist sect.

The Buddhist monks on Mount Sumeru are very peaceful. If they can make some contribution to quelling the darkness and turmoil, they feel that it is nothing.

Jiang Bai smiled at this and then went into seclusion.

After sealing off the courtyard, Jiang Bai took out the damaged primordial spirits of the sealed Suanni Supreme, the Prison Emperor, and the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

The decaying and depleted primordial spirit could not stir up any trouble in Jiang Bai's hands.

"What are you going to do?" The primordial spirit of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable emitted a weak fluctuation.

"I will devour you," Jiang Bai said calmly.

The Supreme Primordial Spirit is a terrifying thing, containing the supreme imperial laws.

Jiang Bai's method of devouring is not like that of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, who seizes the body of another. Instead, he destroys the consciousness of the other party, absorbs the knowledge within, and uses the other party's imperial laws to hone his own Great Dao.

The actions of the Carefree Celestial Venerable could very well lead to him being possessed by the Eternal Celestial Venerable and others.

Too risky. Summoning the Myriad Souls Banner, Jiang Bai assisted the deities within it in accommodating the three supreme primordial spirits, allowing the god of faith, myself, to control the Myriad Souls Banner.

Jiang Bai then also channeled his own primordial spirit into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"If we let the Myriad Souls Banner refine you on its own, who knows how many years it would take."

"But if I personally fight and kill you, destroying your primordial spirits, the speed will be much faster."

"It can also help me hone the strength of my own primordial spirit."

Jiang Bai grinned menacingly and began the battle of primordial spirits.

The primordial spirits of the three—Chang Sheng Tian Zun, Zhen Yu Huang, and Suan Ni Zhi Zun—wanted to seize this sliver of hope and acted without hesitation.

Here, forbidden techniques cannot be used; the only means of combat is to use the power of one's primordial spirit to annihilate the other.

Let's see whose will is stronger.

The opponent had the advantage of having three people, while Jiang Bai had the advantage of having a strong primordial spirit.

Every time Jiang Bai tears apart a bit of the opponent's primordial spirit, the deity of the Myriad Soul Banner absorbs a wisp of the opponent's primordial spirit, sorts out the knowledge and laws within, and transmits the pure primordial spirit power to Jiang Bai through the connection with him.

Even though Jiang Bai was at his peak and his primordial spirit was incredibly powerful, this battle of primordial spirits lasted for thirty years.

Jiang Bai also witnessed the terrifying power of the three supreme beings. They were indeed worthy of being supreme beings who could suppress an entire era.

Similarly, the gains were also enormous. Jiang Bai not only obtained the memories of the three supreme beings, but also used their primordial spirits to hone himself and expand his own primordial spirit.

"As expected, my guess was right."

This action was also an experiment for Jiang Bai to improve himself.

In the Perfect World, the Desolate Emperor once encountered a nine-headed monster and an eighteen-headed monster.

They were all born from the mutual devouring of dark creatures.

Ordinary immortal kings devoured and merged with each other, giving birth to even more powerful monsters.

Jiang Bai thought that by devouring the primordial spirits of others, he should also be able to achieve the goal of strengthening himself.

However, Jiang Bai was afraid that if he forcefully devoured the primordial spirit, it would cause his primordial spirit to become disordered, leading him astray and eventually driving him mad. Therefore, Jiang Bai chose to let the Myriad Soul Banner devour and refine those primordial spirits first, and then transfer the pure, unconscious primordial spirit power to him.

Even if a portion of it is devoured by the deity of the Myriad Soul Banner, Jiang Bai still thinks it's worth it.

Sensing his own state of being, Jiang Bai revealed a smile.

Although he did not reach the Heavenly Emperor level, he has taken a significant step on the path to becoming a Great Emperor.

What's more, this time they also gained the memories of three supreme beings.

It contains countless secrets and their research on the path to immortality.

"I wonder how strong I would become if I devoured all the supreme beings in the forbidden zone."

"Is it possible to directly ascend to immortality in the mortal world?"

In the courtyard of Amitabha Buddha, Jiang Bai sensed the changes within himself, a madness flashing in his eyes.

After dealing with the primordial spirits, Jiang Bai began to deal with the supreme bodies he had collected and the imperial weapons they had left behind.

Jiang Bai refined the imperial weapons and incorporated them into the silver armor and the Myriad Soul Banner, enhancing their strength.

Because the Myriad Soul Banner absorbed a portion of the Supreme Primordial Spirit and comprehended different Imperial Laws, and now, having been integrated with an Imperial Weapon, its material quality has increased, and it has begun to evolve into a Celestial Artifact.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Bai channeled a portion of his own faith power into the Myriad Souls Banner, accelerating its evolution.

Forging a celestial artifact on his own also improved Jiang Bai's own abilities.
