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

Chapter 58 Crazy Woman

After Di Yi left, the ruthless man's suppression of the Great Dao was also about to end, and the universe became even more lively.

Various physiques and prodigies from great clans emerged, vying for supremacy and exploring secret realms along the ancient starry road.

Many others choose to take the peaceful path and practice alone.

In short, this was a period in which outstanding talents emerged.

Jiang Bai glanced at the starry sky and then gave up, continuing to study his golden core and the method for his next life.

The fact that the Creation Tribulation hasn't arrived proves that the alchemy method hasn't been fully established yet.

According to the original prediction, it has now reached the stage of the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Elixir.

After nine cycles, the Golden Core was completed, and he stepped into the Great Emperor realm.

Perhaps because Jiang Bai's cultivation level was high enough, his golden core entered the nine-turn state on its own, slowly circulating.

With the opening of the Nine Revolutions, the Golden Core continuously nourished Jiang Bai himself.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that the immortal essence within Jiang Bai's body is accumulating even more rapidly.

"Wouldn't alchemy make it easier to become an immortal?"

This idea suddenly popped into Jiang Bai's mind.

Essentially, if an emperor has a long enough lifespan, with his own talent, he could comprehend the "method of living a second life".

If the emperors who emerge from the alchemy can generally extend their lifespan to 20,000 years, and after taking the elixir of immortality again, they can use the "method of living a second life" to live a third life and embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

With that pivotal transformation, the rest of the journey went much more smoothly.

During his conversation with Wushi, he also mentioned that the Western Emperor, his father, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, and others had all entered a new life and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world by gaining a better understanding of life and death through extended lifespans.

"So, sometimes God is just unfair."

"Good physical condition leads to a longer lifespan and makes it easier to advance to higher stages."

Incidentally, Jiang Bai realized from this that the Chaos Body Wang Bo in the original work was no good.

With Ye Fan's outstanding achievements as a precedent, and still being in a chaotic state, I never even embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world, wasting such a long lifespan.

Time passed silently as Jiang Bai researched the Golden Elixir and explored the mysteries of alchemy, until the day of Emperor Lin Chengcheng.

Ruthless Man and Lin Cheng arrive in the Divine Land World together, awakening Jiang Bai, who is engrossed in research.

Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Bai and the ruthless man, Lin Cheng swallowed the Dao-Merging Flower in one gulp.

In an instant, the Great Emperor's tribulation descended.

The beings of the universe, drawn by the oppressive force of the tribulation lightning, were utterly astonished. Someone had already attained enlightenment so soon after the suppression of the Great Dao had ended?
Seeing that it was Lin Cheng, he was even more shocked. The Holy Body can really achieve enlightenment!

only……

"Why is this lightning tribulation so weak?" someone asked.

“Logically speaking, there should be no tribulation of lightning, and he should directly merge with the Dao.” The ruthless man was expressionless, but Jiang Bai could still hear the worry in his voice.

"Perhaps it's due to the times, for example."

"If he were in the Immortal Realm, he would have attained enlightenment directly without needing to undergo tribulations."

As someone who elevated the Human King Body to the same level as the Holy Body, Jiang Bai saw very clearly that the Harmony Flower paved the way for Lin Cheng's remaining path.

If we compare the attainment of the Holy Body to a 10,000-meter race, Lin Cheng has only run 6,000 meters. He is still far from attaining the Holy Body, and every step is difficult.

The Harmony Flower teleported Lin Cheng directly to the finish line, but for the sake of the competition's fairness, a small check was still needed, so the lightning tribulation was arguably the weakest Great Emperor lightning tribulation in history.

If this were in the Immortal Realm, given the power of the Harmony Flower, it would most likely allow Lin Chengsheng to pass a minor check and get through directly. However, the Harmony Flower's mechanism has been weakened; like the Elixir of Immortality, it's a completely different thing in the Immortal Realm and in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, its effects greatly reduced.

The closer we get to the end of the Dharma era, the less effective the divine objects that are born will be; some things simply cannot be born at all.

For example, the Divine Life Flower that Ye Fan was searching for for Qin Yao in the original novel was a byproduct of the Heavenly God Fruit.

This realm simply doesn't exist; it cannot be born.

It might really just be a minor check-up. This Great Emperor's Tribulation struck Lin Cheng eighty-one times, completing a perfect tribulation before ending.

Lin Cheng exchanged blows with Jiang Bai for a couple of rounds, testing his own level. He was just an ordinary Great Emperor, but his lifespan seemed quite long, over 20,000 years.

After all, combat strength and lifespan are not necessarily linked.

Just like the Fighting Saint Emperor, whose lifespan is only a little over ten thousand years, similar to the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, but whose combat power is close to the Heavenly Emperor level, he can be considered a pseudo-Heavenly Emperor level.

Lin Cheng spent two thousand years in the universe, comprehending the Heavenly Heart Mark, and then left for a strange world.

Even the ruthless woman wanted to go, after all, there was a war going on in that world, and her brother was too kind.

However, Lin Cheng refused, saying that he wanted his sister to stay so he could help him find a successor. Jiang Bai also tried to persuade him, saying that the child was too old... no, the older brother was too old, and he should let him go. Besides, you can take care of your brother for a while, but can you take care of him for a lifetime?
He too will eventually marry and have children, and he too will become a respected ancestor.

Give your brother some freedom.

"Besides, if you keep taking care of your brother, it will only delay your own life, won't it?"

With his exceptionally high cultivation level, Jiang Bai could tell at a glance that the ruthless man's cultivation had not improved for many years.

It's 100% certain that this woman spent a lot of time researching safe and stable immortal paths for Lin Cheng.

And I took a gamble, believing that with my talent, I was 100% certain I could live out my next life in my later years.

That's crazy.

The ruthless woman did not answer Jiang Bai's question. "I'm happy, it's none of your business."

"The Immortal Realm is shattered and incomplete, which means there must be a great enemy. If you don't want to surrender to this enemy with your brother in the future, then you must strive to improve your cultivation level."

"Otherwise, if a great enemy were to descend one day, with your current cultivation level, you wouldn't be able to withstand the great enemy that could destroy the Immortal Realm."

"If you progress slowly, you might experience witnessing the death of a loved one in the future."

Upon hearing this, the ruthless man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the murderous aura emanating from his body made Jiang Bai feel cold.

The good news is that they managed to persuade the ruthless woman to return to the desolate forbidden land to intensify her cultivation.

Jiang Bai looked out at the universe, watching it grow more and more prosperous. The universe on the planet of the End of Dharma was half the size it was when he first attained enlightenment, and a belief that he wanted to protect it rose in his heart.

But Jiang Bai immediately suppressed this, telling him to go back to researching the Golden Core, and that it was better not to take on the responsibility for all living beings.

Two thousand years later, the Heavenly Heart Mark belonging to a ruthless person in the universe suddenly trembled and almost shattered.

Jiang Bai followed the aura, tearing through space and instantly appearing deep within the Northern Dipper Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Inside the bronze immortal palace, a ruthless man sat cross-legged with a pale face. Behind him was a large hole, and beside him were pieces of a corpse.

"This is... fucking insane." Jiang Bai never expected that this ruthless person could still tear himself to pieces in this life because of his haste.

The good news is that the transformation was successful, and all that's left is to rest for a while.

The ruthless man glanced at Jiang Bai, buried a large amount of the source of all things' primordial energy into the bronze immortal palace, and then injected Lin Cheng's holy body inheritance mark into it before throwing the bronze immortal palace out.

Is this primordial energy, the source of all things, a gift for future generations?

That's a bit too generous, isn't it?
