Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 1 Cultivation of Immortality
"Everything has a place of origin and birth, and there is such a place in our human body. It is the root of life vitality, containing the essence of the whole body. It is called the source wheel of life, or the wheel of life."

On a misty and peaceful fairy mountain, an old man and a young man sat cross-legged. Around them, lush trees, flowing springs and waterfalls, and flying cranes created a vivid and natural scene. As the old man recounted the basics of cultivation, everything seemed like a fairyland.

"Li Yao, do you know where this starting point is?" the old man asked the young man in front of him in a gentle voice, his expression very kind.

Upon hearing the old man's question, the young man Li Yao pointed to his navel and asked, "Is it here?"

When the old man saw where Li Yao pointed, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "You're a promising young man, a natural talent for cultivating immortality, a genius who can open up the sea of ​​suffering on his own. You understand everything at a glance!"

As a figure akin to an immortal, the old man would not be so amiable to ordinary mortals or even ordinary disciples. The reason he treated Li Yao this way was naturally because Li Yao had exceptional talent and astonishing Daoist aura, and his ability to open the sea of ​​suffering on his own. Although he didn't have any special physique, such talent, once he embarked on cultivation, would be no less than someone with a special physique.

Hearing the old man's praise, Li Yao also slightly curled the corners of his mouth. He had been a disciple of Hengyang Cave Heaven for more than a month, during which time he had been learning the basics of cultivation.

He performed very well, studying diligently, and in just one month, he had almost grasped the basics of cultivation.

This behavior is not at all like that of a ten-year-old child.

Li Yao is indeed not a ten-year-old child; he is a time traveler from another world. As for how he got there, the truck must have played a significant role in the story.

As for the time travel, Li Yao didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. His father died and his mother ran away when he was young, and he entered society early and was tortured. After ten years, he was already physically and mentally exhausted. Now, he had traveled to a world where the strong had long lifespans, could break oceans with their palms, and shatter stars with their roars. He also had the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation and become such a person. How could Li Yao not be satisfied?

The basic learning of cultivating immortality is extremely tedious because it is too complex, no less than memorizing hundreds of ancient texts such as the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.

But perhaps because of the time travel, he had no memory of the period of confusion in his previous life since birth. His mental state and memory were very good. Later, his parents were killed by bandits in this life. After he was filled with great sorrow and awakened his memories of his previous life, his mental state became even better. One of the benefits was that his memory was greatly enhanced.

Li Yao knew exactly what he wanted at that moment, so he had been studying the basics of cultivation diligently. With his memory, he only spent a month learning the basics of cultivation.

As the old man finished teaching for the day, watching Li Yao's departing figure, he thought to himself that the time was almost right.

As a subordinate force of the Yao Guang Holy Land, one of the duties of Hengyang Cave Heaven is to recruit geniuses for the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Otherwise, with a million disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land, each of whom would be considered a minor genius in the Eastern Wilderness, it would be unrealistic to rely solely on finding them on one's own.

After Li Yao's qualifications were tested, Hengyang Cave Heaven planned to send him to Yaoguang Holy Land. Now that the basic cultivation training had been completed, as long as Yaoguang Holy Land came to check and proved that what they said was true, Hengyang Cave Heaven would naturally have done a great service.

……

Li Yao was naturally unaware of all this. After finishing his day of teaching, he returned to his residence and tightly closed the doors and windows.

As a transmigrator, Li Yao naturally has some cheat codes. After all, without some assistance, how could you defeat all the geniuses and ultimately ascend to the pinnacle of all paths? Do you think you have a holy body and an invincible younger sister?

As Li Yao calmed down, a book appeared in his mind. Its title page was pale yellow, very simple and unadorned, without any luster. If it were thrown outside, its only use would probably be to prop up a table leg.

However, this book has an extraordinary ability: enlightenment and deduction. Once the scriptures are inscribed on it, it can comprehend and deduce them on its own, and then impart them to Li Yao. Even incomplete scriptures can be deduced by the Heavenly Book, and based on this, a completely new scripture can be created.

The power of the deduced scriptures depends on the energy of the celestial book.

There are two ways to recharge the Heavenly Book. The first is that the Heavenly Book can recharge itself by slowly absorbing energy from heaven and earth. The second is that it can recharge itself with resources containing essence, such as the source.

The reason Li Yao possessed such astonishing Daoist aura and could spontaneously open his Sea of ​​Bitterness was that the Heavenly Book was slowly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. As the owner of the Heavenly Book, Li Yao also benefited from this, being cleansed by the essence of heaven and earth, thus creating his own Sea of ​​Bitterness. Now, he has completed his basic training in cultivation, and it is believed that he will soon receive the cultivation scriptures. At that time, the Heavenly Book will be able to play its role.

The Heavenly Book has been with him since birth. For the past ten years, even though it has not absorbed the essence of the book quickly, the first page of the book is now shining brightly when the cover is opened, which is a sign that it is fully charged and ready to be used.

Li Yao studied the celestial book for a while, then his mind gradually calmed down and he fell asleep.

The next day, as dawn broke, the sun shone brightly in the sky, casting its rays upon the earth.

Hengyang Cave is a place for cultivation. The vegetation here seems to be favored by the essence of the sun and moon, and even the grass and trees are exceptionally green, as if carved from jade. Ancient trees reach the sky, medicinal herbs are fragrant, spiritual birds fly, rare beasts appear, and divine springs gurgle.

After Li Yao woke up, he made his bed and headed out of the room. There was still some time before class, and he was about to grab something to eat when suddenly a loud roar rang out from the sky.

From the distant horizon came the sound of something breaking through the air, and three divine rainbows flew towards this place.

"Boom!"

Then, as if a thousand troops were galloping, the roars of savage beasts echoed from behind the three divine rainbows, the mist churning and the clouds obscuring the sky. Ten savage beasts arrived riding the clouds, each carrying a cultivator on its back. Although they were walking in the sky, the sound of thunder could be heard, as if tens of thousands of troops were charging in.

Those savage beasts were all ancient, strange species left over from the primordial era. They were all covered in scales and were extremely ferocious. The cultivator riding on the savage beast in the center held a large banner in his arms, which fluttered in the wind and was extremely powerful. On it were written four large characters: Yao Guang Holy Land!

The procession was incredibly grand and imposing. Three divine rainbows led the way, followed by ten savage beasts carrying ten powerful cultivators. Although there were only a dozen or so people, it was as if a thousand troops were charging in, and the sky trembled, as if endless heavenly soldiers and generals were coming to kill them.

The sky was filled with shouts of men and howls of beasts, the clouds rolled and surged, and a murderous aura soared into the sky, like a vast ocean surging in.

Li Yao was greatly surprised. So many powerful people, and they even came from Yao Guang Holy Land, one of the top holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness!
"Wait a minute, Hengyang Cave Heaven seems to be a subordinate force of Yaoguang Holy Land. It should be a friend, not an enemy, so nothing bad will happen to it." Li Yao muttered to himself, his tense mood calming down a little.

Since there is a connection, as long as I don't wander around in front of the powerful figures of the Yao Guang Holy Land, nothing bad should happen to me.

Li Yao is far too weak right now. He hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation yet. In front of such a powerful cultivator, he is like an ant that can be crushed at will.

"It's not a good day to go out. I'll also ask for a day off from teaching," Li Yao thought to himself.

He had made up his mind not to go anywhere today, to avoid showing himself in front of the people of Yao Guang Holy Land.

Strong strength is a person's confidence, and Li Yao does not have that confidence now. He is also aware of his own limitations and plans to behave himself.

But sometimes things don't go as planned. He didn't want to show his face, but trouble still came looking for him. Li Yao ate something simple and was about to go back to his room to rest when a figure quickly arrived outside his residence.

Those were disciples of Hengyang Cave Heaven, who had cultivated for several years and were powerful cultivators capable of riding the divine rainbow.

Li Yao recognized him; the other party had a considerable reputation in Hengyang Cave Heaven, ranking among the top tier below the ten great disciples.

He dared not delay and hurriedly went to greet them. Just as he was about to bow and clasp his hands in greeting, his arm was suddenly grabbed.

That hand only gently supported Li Yao, but it made it impossible for Li Yao to kneel down.
