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

Chapter 76: Things Worth Studying

For example, if a martial arts competition is held with other ancient realms, it would definitely require people at all levels of strength.

From young prodigies to elderly sages, and even quasi-emperors, emperors, and true immortals, etc.

After hearing Jiang Bai's explanation, the ruthless man left without saying anything more and went back to the desolate ancient forbidden land to cultivate in seclusion.

In the universe, a golden age of cultivation unfolds alongside the opening of the Silent Extinction Heavenly Technique.

Countless beings in the universe devoted themselves to the study of the "method of Nirvana," "living a second life," and "method of Nirvana."

With such a large number of participants and some inhumane research, people soon began to achieve "annihilation," "living a second life," and "rebirth."

It truly allowed him to undergo a baptism of his own qualities.

If their original aptitude score was 60, then after being given a second chance, it would be 80, 90, or even 95.

The initial struggle to break through to the Saint level has become the norm, while the smooth path to the Quasi-Emperor level has become commonplace.

Like Tu Fei in the original novel "Covering the Sky," whose original talent, with the restoration of the essence of heaven and earth and the blessing of the Golden Age, would at most have broken through to the Saint realm. However, after successfully cultivating the Annihilation Heavenly Art and completing the Annihilation Baptism, he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm at a young age, becoming a prodigy who caught up with the forefront of the times.

With the arrival of a golden age of cultivation, the ancient starry road also became increasingly prosperous, and a Saintly Prodigy named Lie Dou emerged from the Big Dipper.

He fought the demon race in his physical form on the Big Dipper Star, defeating many of the demon race's prodigies.

After embarking on the ancient starry road, he fought his way through the Eternal Star Domain, suppressed the evil gods who were causing trouble in the starry sky, killed human cultivators who practiced evil arts, defeated the peerless geniuses of his time, and even killed them directly at the Saint King realm, not giving them a chance to reach the Great Perfection.

The appearance of Lie Dou caught Jiang Bai's attention, solely because he had defeated the contemporary human king, a peerless prodigy of the rising Wu Clan in the Divine Land World.

Moreover, he defeated the Human King's body with magic and defeated the Witch Clan's prodigy with his physical body.

But Jiang Bai only glanced at it a few times; he didn't pay much attention to it, as it was ultimately just a sacred body.

After a thousand years of flourishing cultivation, the gates of the divine land were knocked on.

"The ancient Heavenly Court, the Emperor, disciple of the Emperor, requests an audience with the Human King."

When the emperor was led into the palace and saw Jiang Bai under the Bodhi tree, he was immediately attracted by the "water tank" where lotus flowers were growing.

That's the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and inside it grows the Azure Lotus Elixir of Immortality.

"Sit." Jiang Bai conjured a futon for the emperor.

He didn't pay attention to the surge of anger in his blood.

After all, it's normal to be angry when someone uses their teacher's immortality cauldron as a water tank.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the emperor bowed before sitting down.

"Have some tea," Jiang Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Taking a sip of the Enlightenment Tea, the Emperor's depression instantly dissipated.

"I have come to see the King of Men today to ask him a question on my behalf and for the descendants of the ancient Heavenly Court: Is that man truly my teacher?"

The emperor subconsciously clenched his fists, knowing that it was impolite to ask directly.

But if he didn't ask, he really couldn't help it.

His mentor, a peerless and invincible being who once ruled the universe.

"Yes and no," Jiang Bai said with a slight smile.

Seeing the emperor's slightly confused and bewildered gaze, Jiang Bai calmly explained:
"Many dangers lurk in this universe, and you will only discover them when you reach the realm of immortals."

"Your master, the Emperor, succumbed to those crises, was sealed off, and then replaced by another person."

"To put it simply, your physical body still belongs to your master, the Emperor, but the primordial spirit within is reborn based on the Emperor's memories."

Disbelief flashed in the Emperor's eyes, but he still subconsciously believed it. Jiang Bai glanced at the Emperor and continued, "I couldn't understand it before. Given how much the Emperor values ​​you and Chuan Ying, how could he not take you both with him to become immortals?"

"After killing the fake Emperor, I understood. When he sealed you, the Emperor had already encountered misfortune, but he kept struggling to hold on. He probably wanted to use you as a backup plan to save himself."

"Pity."

The emperor looked somber. Had he known this would happen, he would have sought enlightenment much earlier.

Historically, he had several opportunities to attain enlightenment.

At the end of the Primordial Era, he blocked the entrance to the Ninefold Imperial Pass and slaughtered all the geniuses of an era.

In that lifetime, if he had continued his cultivation, he would have been able to attain enlightenment with a 100% certainty.

But he gave up on that and prepared to go to the Golden Age.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Emperor and the awakening of the divine organization, he would still be asleep, waiting for the arrival of the Golden Age.

"Go and prove your Dao, strive for the path to becoming an emperor for one lifetime, and then walk the path of becoming an immortal in the mortal world, continuing the glory of the ancient Heavenly Court once again."

"Moreover, I believe that with the Emperor's talent, it is impossible for him to be completely dead. He may be waiting for your rescue somewhere."

Jiang Bai advised the emperor not to be depressed and indulge in excessive pleasures.

The men who can be accepted as disciples by the Emperor, even if they are just mortals, possess terrifyingly strong talents.

As he watched the emperor leave, Jiang Bai couldn't help but laugh, "I wonder which unlucky soul will run into the emperor on the path to becoming emperor in the next life."

As the emperor left the Divine Land and returned to the Divine Organization's headquarters, he recounted his conversation with Jiang Bai to the many descendants of the Heavenly Court. The more he relayed the story, the more cold sweat broke out on his body, and he eventually stopped.

Upon seeing this, the chief god of the contemporary divine organization asked in surprise, "Young master, what's wrong with you?"

The Emperor murmured, "After meeting the Human King, I unconditionally believed everything he said and did not express my own thoughts."

"This is a situation I have never encountered before when communicating with my master."

Upon hearing this, the main god of the divine organization, a being with the cultivation of a quasi-emperor, felt his hair stand on end and his pupils shrink sharply.

How is it possible to unconditionally believe someone?

Did the Human King use a charm spell?
But that's impossible. He's the King of Men, an immortal being. How could he do something so despicable?

The emperor quickly forgot about this matter and returned to self-imposed seclusion, waiting for the suppression of the Great Dao by Hengyu to end so he could compete for the Imperial Path.

Perhaps he will know the reason when he becomes emperor.

In the Divine Land world, Jiang Bai's expression was somewhat complicated; he seemed to lack sufficient understanding of his own physique.

Generally, those with good physical constitutions receive some support from the Dao that aligns with them.

Like the Hades Body cultivating the Great Way of Death.

Perhaps because this immortal body, the Human King Body, is a manifestation of the Human King Dao, the Human King Body provides a particularly powerful boost to Jiang Bai's Dao.

In particular, the forbidden secret technique of "commanding all the heavens" has been unconsciously integrated into Jiang Bai's instincts under its blessing.

Those whose cultivation is weaker than his, but who have respect for him, will directly "submit" to him and choose to listen to the king.

As mentioned before, it wasn't obvious when communicating with ruthless people, since the former wouldn't resist him in the first place, and the latter had a high level of cultivation.

This was fully demonstrated during the interaction with the Emperor. The Emperor was already passively "submitting" the moment they met, and dared not refute Jiang Bai's words. If he had any objections, he subconsciously chose to believe him.

"It seems there are still many things worth studying about my immortal body."
