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

Chapter 89 The Most Deadly Form of Show-Off is the Subtle One

The process of refining the Daoist treasure land was very fast, taking only a hundred years.

Throughout these hundred years, Xu Kong stood by and learned, trying his best to remember Jiang Bai's methods.

And he actually learned a part of it, which surprised Jiang Bai. He could only praise him as worthy of being the future Void Emperor.

During this century, his cultivation level in the Void also rose to the level of Saint King.

After the Daoist Treasure Land was completed, Jiang Bai looked into the void and extended an invitation: "Would you like to enter with me?"

“Alright,” Void replied.

The two of them used the Return to the Source technique together to enter the ancestral land of Daoist Rhyme.

Within the shattered ancient realm, Jiang Bai stared in astonishment at the void. He had thought that the other party would need him to bring a weapon to enter, but unexpectedly, he could do it all by himself.

“I have studied the Lianshan Guicang that you passed down quite well,” Xu Kong said calmly.

That was quite a show of bravado.

After sighing inwardly, Jiang Bai told Xu Kong to take good care of himself and walked alone toward the figure that emerged from the other side of the ancient battlefield—a burly middle-aged man.

I don't know him, but I can call him.

Jiang Bai had never felt aggrieved in his battles against Xuanwu, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, or dragons, but this time, he felt truly frustrated.

The opponent has mastered the art of time and space, employing time-based attacks and spatial evasion.

Moreover, the other party is shameless; they will dodge whenever possible, avoid whenever possible, and launch sneak attacks whenever possible, as if they were born assassins.

The kite-flying tactic was also brought to its extreme.

They often leave you with no way to use your strength, and just when you finally manage to grab the opponent and are ready to fight head-on, they can unleash terrifying combat capabilities.

With unparalleled physical strength, and using both hands to unleash the power of spacetime, forbidden secret techniques surrounded them from all directions.

After hitting you, he continued running, and just when you thought he was going to run away again, he attacked you head-on.

Max out both survivability and attack power.

No wonder that in the Perfect World, the Gu Zu was able to withstand four or five Immortal Kings at the same time, buying time for the Desolate Emperor.

Really strong.

The spatial Dao unleashed by Gu caught the eye of the void, prompting it to frantically study and comprehend it.

Even though the Great Dao of Time affected his studies to some extent, it also greatly benefited him, allowing him to progress rapidly.

Because it wasn't his true form, but merely a manifestation of Daoist essence, no matter how cunning and treacherous it was, it was quickly defeated by Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai and Xu Kong withdrew shortly after, but soon Jiang Bai suppressed his cultivation and re-entered, leaving the battlefield to Xu Kong.

Void remained expressionless, confidently stepping onto the stage. It was nothing more than a clash of the Great Dao; how could he possibly lose to a dead man?
Yes, he lost to a dead man.

In the clash of the Great Dao of Space, the void was defeated in an instant.

"The void is never weaker than man."

Jiang Bai saw the void's backbone; once he recovered, he would enter the Daoist Treasure Land to fight the gu's figure.

Whenever it is injured, the Void will sit cross-legged outside the Daoist Treasure Land, trying its best to comprehend the Great Dao of Time and Space contained therein, constantly recalling the figure of the Gu.

Jiang Bai, having nothing else to do, also stayed here to watch the Void grow.

Occasionally, Jiang Bai would also check on the situation of other Daoist treasure lands and found that no one could cultivate Lianshan Guicang to the point of sinking into the Daoist treasure land and fighting with the figures inside. At most, they could only comprehend it from the outside.

This made Jiang Bai gasp in astonishment. The difference was too obvious. Were you guys really that bad?

Although my Lianshan Guicang is just a scripture that requires constant contemplation, you can't possibly fail to reach the level of "immersing yourself in the treasure land of Daoist wisdom."

The gull in the Void and the Treasure Land of Time and Space fought a great battle for five hundred years. Its cultivation level improved from Saint King to Great Saint. Although its cultivation speed has fallen, its foundation is extremely solid.

He was defeated in the initial spatial battle, but eventually he was able to fight for dozens of moves.

At night, Jiang Bai and Xu Kong roasted meat in the desert. Xu Kong, who was injured, did most of the roasting, while Jiang Bai sat on the side and ate.

"That figure inside is less than one-hundred-millionth the strength of the original body. You'd better work harder, kid," Jiang Bai couldn't help but provoke.

Void's hand trembled, and the meat in his hand fell into the fire, turning into charred remains. Without changing his expression, Void cut a piece from a dead snake demon beside him and continued roasting it, saying calmly, "Void is never weaker than anyone else."

Jiang Bai chuckled. "You kid, you're shocked, but you're still pretending. If Yu Feng were here, he would have been yelling by now, 'Old Deng, why don't you hand over your treasured items so I can improve my strength?'"

After finishing the meat, Jiang Bai stared into the void and said, "Mortal bodies have infinite possibilities. Perhaps you can try to use your own Great Dao to enhance your physique, thereby undergoing a transformation and giving birth to a special physique."

Xu Kong was stunned. How could this be? But considering Jiang Bai's identity, he felt that the dignified King of Men wouldn't lie to him.

Jiang Bai continued, "I evolved the Daoist Treasure Land and set up a great array of Daoist Treasure Lands in the universe to connect these, mainly relying on the Lianshan Guizang Scripture."

"Also, did you know that the earliest cultivators improved their cultivation by observing treasure lands, forbidden lands, and the rising and setting of the sun and moon?"

"Back then, because they didn't have a complete cultivation method, they were essentially learning from heaven and earth, embodying all the myriad paths within themselves."

Xu Kong seemed to be deep in thought. After finishing his conversation, he entered the Daoist Treasure Land again and then stepped onto the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

In the years that followed, Jiang Bai watched as he traversed the void, crossing the starry sky and passing through one Daoist treasure land after another, fighting against the figures within, only to be defeated, losing as badly as he could ever lose again.

For a time, Jiang Bai even began to suspect that the Void might be heading down the path of Chaos Ancient.

However, when Void fought against a prodigy from the Divine Race who was conquering the Emperor's Road, and slapped him to death, asking with a slightly bewildered tone, "Am I that strong?", Jiang Bai was also bewildered.

Don't you know your own skill level compared to others of your time?
At that moment, Jiang Bai couldn't help but investigate Xu Kong's past experiences.

It turns out that, apart from defeating a fellow clansman during the clan competition, Void rarely makes a move in this life.
After leaving home, Xu Kong rarely attended gatherings of cultivators. When he did attend, he would sit in a corner eating and drinking. The rest of the time he would spend improving his environment and hunting down lawless criminals, villains, and thieves in various places.

He has basically never fought against his peers.

Then, Xu Kong cultivated normally all the way to the level of a saint, then met another person, King Jiang Bai, and then he was constantly beaten up by the figures in the Daoist Treasure Land.

Well, Xu Kong didn't know that others couldn't enter the Daoist Treasure Land, and always thought he was quite mediocre.

Jiang Bai summarized Xu Kong's past experiences and gave him a comprehensive evaluation: Xu Kong was a socially awkward guy. His silence when he was with Jiang Bai was because he was really bad at communicating. He probably used up all his social courage in his life to summon Jiang Bai.

"This is absolutely hilarious." Jiang Bai burst out laughing. Who would have thought that the Void Emperor was a socially awkward person?

"Speaking of which, in the original work, his imperial corpse was connected to the Yellow Emperor. And then there's the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, which tells the story of him marrying three thousand wives."

"Could it be that Void is not only socially awkward, but also a repressed pervert?"

Of course, this does not affect his firm belief in protecting all living beings; there is no conflict between them.

Moreover, the Void in this life has been doing similar things, fighting evil and protecting its territory.

The defeat of the human race's divine body prodigy by Void Strike caused a lot of trouble, the biggest of which was that the human race's divine body prodigy was a woman, who directly blamed Void Strike.

A socially awkward, introverted guy meets a passionate, sunny goddess, and the sparks that fly between them make Jiang Bai exclaim, "So sweet!"

The void quickly fell under the goddess's attack, and the two became husband and wife.

Jiang Bai also attended the wedding banquet and gave the child a small gift.

With the help of the goddess, the void's lack of understanding of the universe and cultivation was quickly filled, and the entire Ji family moved to the desert.

Just like Jiang Bai said before, if Xu Kong wasn't so powerful, the elders of the Ji family would have wanted to give him a good beating. Why didn't he put the Daoist Treasure Land in our house?

Then the goddess gave the Ji family a good beating on behalf of the Void, babbling on and on about how her man was the current head of the Ji family.

As he became famous, he kept appearing near the Daoist Treasure Land. At a gathering, someone asked him what he had comprehended.
This question was asked with ill intent, because the person asking it was a prodigy of the demon race from the ancient star Gouchen, who had entered the Void to comprehend the Dragon Qi Treasure Land.

Before the opening time, Void directly stormed in, beat up the demon race's prodigies and elders, and demanded that the Dragon Qi Treasure Land be opened every day instead of once every hundred years.

When asked, Xu Kong replied calmly, "I'm dull-witted and have been constantly beaten up by the figure inside. I haven't been able to comprehend anything."

What? There's a figure inside? The question left the demon prodigy completely dumbfounded.

It's one chapter at 1:06 PM and another at 1:07 PM every day. The timed release is so convenient. How come I never noticed it before?

He recommended a book, saying, "This Uchiha is truly evil."

Most of the books I recommended before were from author groups, so their quality wasn't guaranteed. This book, however, was found on Qidian's new book list, and it's of good quality.

My assessment of this book is that if you read it without thinking, without any preconceived notions about the Naruto plot or characters, you'll find it's really good, very enjoyable, and incredibly satisfying to read.
