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

Chapter 55 Uncertain Things

Jiang Bai stayed in the Underworld for three years, but left after failing to find the corpse of the ancient Emperor Dao.

But that's normal, since only a few bodies have been unearthed in the underworld over millions of years.

Before returning to the Divine Land World, Jiang Bai went to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land again to see Ruthless Man and Lin Cheng.

At this time, the brother and sister were cultivating together, trying to comprehend the elixir of immortality.

However, one is inside the Immortal Realm, and the other is outside.

Most of the time, the ruthless person would comprehend a step, summarize the experience, and directly pass it on to Lin Cheng so that he could understand it and then improve his cultivation.

After all, Lin Cheng simply couldn't keep up with the pace of Ruthless Man's progress; the gap was too large, to the point that Ruthless Man had begun to study the safe and stable Immortal Path in the Mortal World.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Bai's mind flashed with the words "I can nibble on my sister".

Then, I marvel at how amazing this ruthless person is. Even counting the first life's enlightenment and the second life's elixir of immortality, the path to immortality still requires at least six more transformations. Only at the end of the eighth life can one reach the point where time cannot be severed. Then, after another transformation, one can reach the ninth life and elevate everything about oneself to its peak.

In other words, to create a safe and stable path to immortality in the mortal world, at least six more universally applicable methods that can steadily transform a person are needed, in addition to the elixir of immortality.

"Wonderful man's 'Not for becoming an immortal, but only to wait for you to return in the mortal world' will it become 'I will take you to become an immortal together' in this life?"

A strange thought welled up in Jiang Bai's mind.

She also found the way for the ruthless person to live her fourth life: to cut off all the chaotic blood and transform into a mortal body, but still to break free from the old body.

It's clear that she's determined to break free from her old body and keep going.

However, Jiang Bai could sense that the ruthless man's cultivation was improving and his understanding of the Great Dao was outrageous.

The main reason is probably to find a stable path to immortality for Lin Cheng, which is the result of continuous research.

"His conviction in this life is even more unwavering than in the original story. I can't even imagine how crazy he would go if Lin Cheng were killed one day."

After expressing his feelings, Jiang Bai revealed his true purpose in coming: to discuss the Dao with the Empress and explore the Great Dao, all laws, and immortality together.

As their discussions on the Dao deepened and their understanding of immortality was mutually verified, both of them made progress.

It must be said that Ruthless's talent is very suitable for research. Although her cultivation level is not as high as Jiang Bai's, she has put forward many new ideas for Jiang Bai.

The next step in alchemy is to choose to unite the golden elixir with the primordial spirit, creating another self within the body.

Of course, Jiang Bai also provided Ruthless with many ideas and shared a lot of the supreme memories of the forbidden zones that he had collected, giving Ruthless more ideas.

After browsing through the list, the ruthless man asked a question: "Is the Emperor really dead?"

In the memories of the Eternal Celestial Venerable, the Prison Suppressor Emperor, and others, they were not able to hunt down the Emperor Venerable on the spot back then.

Before the entire sect ascended to heaven, the Emperor sealed away a group of Heavenly Court elites led by Chuan Ying. At that time, everyone knew that the Emperor had a disciple, but no one had ever seen who it was.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others became suspicious. Not long after, the Undying Emperor, who had attained enlightenment through unorthodox means, discovered that the Emperor's ascension formation was problematic, containing runes for refining and sacrifice.

The Immortal Emperor told this to the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and others, and together they investigated and discovered that the Ascension Array created by the Emperor Venerable contained a large number of runes for refining and sacrificing.

Then, considering Chuanying and the disappearance of the Emperor's mysterious disciple, the suspicious crowd couldn't sit still any longer.

Considering the fate of those who attacked the Path to Immortality at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and the records of the Kunlun descendants that mention two or three people who became immortals in one lifetime, and the legendary Battle Immortals.

The Immortal Emperor and the Eternal Celestial Venerable concluded that the Emperor Venerable might be ruthless and wanted to refine everyone to achieve his own goal.

Of course, from the perspective of Jiang Bai and Ruthless as bystanders, many of the inferences drawn from this memory were guided by the Undying Emperor.

On the day the entire sect ascended to immortality, the Emperor led many supreme beings and the Heavenly Court's followers to an abandoned path to immortality.

The Emperor believed that this abandoned path to immortality also led to the Immortal Realm, but it had not been opened. What they needed to do was to gather all their strength and open it up together.

The grand formation activated, and the Emperor Venerable was the first to rush onto the path to immortality, engaging in battle with the obstacles formed by the laws of the Immortal Realm. Sensing their power waning, the Eternal Celestial Venerable and the others immediately turned on the Emperor Venerable, attacking him and instantly shattering the path to immortality.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor also used the borrowed Immortal Bell to deliver a crucial blow.

The Emperor, however, surprisingly broke free from the shattered path to immortality and attacked the six Supreme Beings who had betrayed him and the Undying Emperor.

In that battle, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others set up a magical treasure killing formation, and the six supreme beings of the forbidden zones, along with the Undying Emperor, an unconventional Daoist who wielded the Immortal Bell, surrounded the Emperor.

The Spirit Treasure Killing Formation was torn apart by the Emperor, who also killed three Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones on the spot, leaving only the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Prison Suppressor Emperor, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and an unnamed Supreme Being who passed away shortly after the battle.

The key point is that the Emperor was only seriously injured at the time, he did not die, and he is still alive and well.

He simply stopped striving and chose to leave, returning to his hometown.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others determined that the reason for the Emperor's death was the disappearance of his Great Dao. Furthermore, the Underworld and the Undying Emperor kept sending people to hunt down Chuan Ying and other remaining elites of the Heavenly Court, but they failed to lure out the Emperor.

Although they suspected that the Emperor wanted to refine them and thought the Emperor was ruthless, they still called the Emperor a hero.

A hero would never tolerate his own people being wantonly hunted down by others, nor would he suffer such humiliation.

But the Emperor didn't appear, and that's the problem.

but……

"With the Emperor's heroic spirit, is it really impossible for him to live out his next life amidst the brink of death?" the ruthless man said softly.

Jiang Bai nodded slightly and revealed the hidden Emperor-level runes in the universe that Wu Shi had discovered to Ruthless Man.

Now that we've guessed and discovered it, there's no need to hide it.

"The Emperor should still be alive, and these runes do indeed contain refined attributes."

Seeing this, Lin Cheng asked somewhat impatiently, "Are we going to find the Emperor?"

Although Lin Cheng found it hard to accept that the mighty Emperor might be a cold-blooded madman, he thought more about all living beings in the universe.

Why did you, Emperor, fill the universe with runes that possess refining properties?
Surely it can't be to lead all living beings to become immortals together?

I've never heard of refining oneself into an immortal.

Oh, yes, the Human King always said he would help the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones become immortals whenever he refined them.

"Brother, there's no need to be nervous. We just need to steadily improve our strength."

"All schemes and tricks are futile in the face of strength."

The ruthless man comforted Lin Cheng.

Jiang Bai nodded in agreement. Indeed, all schemes and tricks are futile in the face of strength.

Whether it's the remaining two forbidden zones, the immortal emperor of the strange world, or the emperor hidden in the shadows, they only need to be careful of each other's sneak attacks.

Instead of wasting time thinking, it's better to improve your skills as soon as possible.

After discussing the Dao, Jiang Bai, having gained an idea of ​​how to proceed with his alchemy with the help of the ruthless man's talent, did not linger any longer and returned directly to the Divine Land World.

Next, he will carefully observe the changes in his nascent core, step into the Golden Core stage, and live out his sixth life.

Jiang Bai had a premonition that the moment he transformed into his sixth incarnation, countless enemies would appear, wanting to destroy him.

Now those people are all secretly watching him, like petty thieves.

With his thoughts returning to normal, Jiang Bai calmed his mind and began to observe the process of the Human King's Dao being conceived and growing within the illusory core.
