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

Chapter 29 Attempting to Control Bad Luck
Jiang Bai believes that the reason Ye Fan couldn't terrify the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and prevent him from emerging into the world is because Ye Fan rarely swept through the Forbidden Zone.

Basically, the strategy is to lure the opponent out and then kill them, which ultimately gives the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone the impression that Ye Fan is very strong, but if we work hard and find the right time, we can definitely kill him.

In the original work, the only ones who truly terrified the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone were Wushi and Qingdi. They practically swept through the Forbidden Zone, with the former forcing the Underworld to flee and the latter charging into the Forbidden Zone to kill and seize treasures.

"He recovered part of his peak condition using the power of my faith and health preservation method. He came with confidence, but was ultimately killed by me, and I pushed him back into a restricted area."

"I estimate that the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone at that time will be completely afraid of my combat power. With the power of faith to prolong life and not lacking lifespan for a short period of time, he will most likely not continue to emerge into the world, but will choose to live a life of survival."

"All I can do in return is gain a peaceful period of time for transformation."

"I hope what the counselor once said—that giving hope first and then inflicting despair—is true; it can really break a person."

As Jiang Bai walked through the universe, he watched as the Daoist sects, which had suddenly been integrated and flourished, and the various Daoist lineages that sprang up like mushrooms after rain, constantly pondering in his mind.

As Jiang Bai traveled through the universe, he could clearly sense the urgency and caution of the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones.

The collected power of faith will disappear after several transformations.

They even collected the materials from more than one place.

Even so, Jiang Bai managed to find hiding places in three forbidden zones using the power of faith, one of which was the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

After noting down the location, Jiang Bai turned and left, deciding to wait for the other party to come to him.

In the years that followed, Jiang Bai slowly walked through the universe, constantly testing his "bad luck" and trying to control it, turning it into an active skill.

The method of testing is also very simple: hide your cultivation level, make friends, and keep triggering events to see if you can master it.

Five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Bai has once again arrived at a time of over ten thousand years.

After transforming into a chaotic form and reaching the Heavenly Emperor level in combat power, his lifespan was indeed greatly extended.

When Jiang Bai was over 10,000 years old before, his vitality began to decline gradually, but in this life, it remains strong and continues to rise.

Five thousand years of bad luck and trials left Jiang Bai deeply disappointed.

Making friends and falling in love can trigger bad luck in an instant.

A person who was originally a good person will soon "fall" into evil after becoming friends with Jiang Bai.

He was a bad guy from the start, and he was directly after Jiang Bai.

Even though Jiang Bai disguised himself as a mortal, the other party still coveted Jiang Bai's appearance and kidneys, intending to sell him into a brothel.

Jiang Bai once thoroughly investigated a woman and found her to be a genuinely good person. However, after coming into contact with Jiang Bai, she quickly became someone who coveted his martial arts techniques.

Jiang Bai sealed his cultivation to fight, and as a result, when victory was just around the corner, unless he achieved a crushing victory, an unexpected incident would definitely occur.

Only by winning decisively can you get through this safely; otherwise, there will always be someone lurking in the shadows.

This left Jiang Bai speechless.

The only gain was that after Jiang Bai befriended a quasi-emperor and a great philanthropist, the other party tolerated Jiang Bai for a thousand years before beginning to "fall into depravity".

Afterwards, Jiang Bai observed him for a thousand years to see if he was a hypocrite or a truly virtuous person.

As it turned out, the other party was a truly kind person. A hundred years after leaving Jiang Bai, the other party slapped himself twice. How could he possibly steal the Imperial Scripture that Jiang Bai had displayed?

It was this five-thousand-year experiment that made Jiang Bai realize that he was a menace.

The bad luck he carries will unconsciously attract others, causing them trouble or even killing them.

"The constant betrayals seem to be a way to help me focus on my spiritual practice and avoid being disturbed by worldly affairs."

"It's like they're drawing the enemy in, and the only way to end it is by crushing them. It's like they're trying to keep me improving my combat power." "It feels like my life is being controlled by someone else."

If Jiang Bai hadn't read the original novel of "Covering the Sky" and confirmed that the "Covering the Sky" universe and all the heavens at this point in time belonged to a "perfect world" with no external enemies entering, Jiang Bai would have really suspected that he was a puppet of everything in someone else's hands.

However, although he cannot actively control bad luck, Jiang Bai can passively control and trigger it.

Previously, the events were triggered passively based on guesswork, but now Jiang Bai can grasp the patterns and trigger them proactively.

"I feel like I've embarked on a wicked and cunning path."

"But there are advantages too, I can use bad luck to test a person's character."

Anyone who betrays immediately is not a good person.

Those who persevere through bad luck for a long time and slowly succumb to despair are generally people of strong character.

"Looking at it this way, Mu Tian really wanted to be friends with me at first, and only tried to kill me at the very end."

Jiang Bai chuckled to himself.

However, Jiang Bai was just joking with himself; he wouldn't dwell on Mu Tian or suffer mentally because of this.

After all, it's better to spend time diligently cultivating oneself, steadily making progress, and then figuring out how to further improve one's cultivation level.

If even the Great Emperor can't control bad luck, and neither can the Heavenly Emperor, then it's the Mortal Immortal, the Immortal King, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor, and the Sacrificial Dao.

Take it one step at a time, and when the whole world is at your feet, you'll surely be able to control your bad luck.

Therefore, in order to increase the probability of being ambushed by supreme beings from forbidden zones such as the Carefree Celestial Venerable, Jiang Bai decided to befriend them.

"Either they've possessed another body or they're the instigators of the dark upheaval; there's no need to feel guilty about scheming against them."

"Cool."

Making friends with the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone is simple. You just need to show that you need their help, that you are willing to exchange benefits, and that you will live with everyone after you are freed. They will be very willing to be your friend.

Therefore, when Jiang Bai extended goodwill to the Supreme Being's representative outside the Forbidden Zone through the statue of the Human King and the power of faith, the other party quickly responded.

Meeting in person right away is definitely not an option, but the number of transactions has increased.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable may have had designs on Jiang Bai and wanted to understand his situation, so he took the initiative to establish contact with Jiang Bai.

The two, through the statue of the Human King, who served as their representative, engaged in a discussion about their understanding of the Great Dao.

Jiang Bai generously handed over Feng Ming's inheritance to Xiaoyao Tianzun as a token of his sincerity.

The carefree Celestial Venerable generously shared the inheritance of the most tragic emperor he had possessed with Jiang Bai.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, became friends.

Seeing this, the other supreme beings in the Reincarnation Sea also came out to trade with Jiang Bai, and they directly exchanged a large number of life-extending items from Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai was very generous and traded the remaining Nine-Turn Immortal Pills and Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid to the other party.

He showed great sincerity, as if he really intended to join the Sea of ​​Reincarnation in the future.

It was precisely this generosity that prompted the hidden Supreme Being of the Reincarnation Sea to initiate a discussion.

"Should we really take him in?"
