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

Chapter 8 The Wonderful Uses of the Heavenly Book

Today's events made Li Yao realize that the Heavenly Book is definitely more than just a tool for cultivating comprehension; if used properly, it can be of immense help to cultivation.

For example, the Heavenly Book's ability to automatically absorb essence is already stronger than that of most cultivators in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, even before he has embarked on cultivation. In the future, when he embarks on cultivation, his body will be able to withstand more essence, and the Heavenly Book will absorb essence even faster.

Automatically absorbing vital energy is actually quite a powerful feature.

With this ability, even if Li Yao doesn't embark on the path of cultivation, over time, his body will be tempered into a physical body comparable to that of a cultivator due to the abundant nourishment of vital energy.

There are probably more ways to use the Heavenly Book than these, but Li Yao's current perspective is too limited to fully understand and use it.

However, based solely on the Heavenly Book's current ability to deduce, learn, and automatically absorb essence, he can ascend straight to the top. Even if he were to embark on the path to godhood and compete with powerful figures from all walks of life, he would be completely fearless.

"Chong'er, quickly assign a rank to Li Yao and finalize this matter completely," Old Zhang said somewhat urgently.

Although the people are now on Rising Sun Island, it doesn't mean that the matter is settled. Among the Twelve Yao Guang Sects, there are strong and weak, and most are of equal strength, such as Dragon Head Peak and Rising Sun Island.

However, among the twelve lineages, there are also those whose strength is significantly greater than that of other factions. For example, the Holy Lord faction, to which the Holy Lord belongs, has been led by Li Daoqing for a thousand years. Its strength is very strong, and most of the Holy Lords of Yaoguang throughout history have come from the Holy Lord lineage. Over time, its foundation has become stronger and stronger.

Besides the Holy Lord's lineage, there is another lineage whose strength is in no way inferior to the Holy Lord's lineage, and even the current Holy Son comes from this lineage.

These two factions are far stronger than the others; if they were to intervene, even the Rising Sun Island faction would have to back down.

Of course, although the Yao Guang Holy Land has twelve factions, they are ultimately one power and will abide by the rules among themselves, so there will be no fighting or robbing.

Zhang Chong also knew the urgency of the situation. He trusted his father's judgment, and the commotion Li Yao had caused was indeed frightening. Before even beginning his cultivation, he had already drawn a large amount of vital energy into his body. With such talent, he was already at the starting point of becoming an elite disciple.

He decisively took out a piece of white jade, then extracted a trace of Li Yao's aura and engraved it into the white jade tablet. This signified that Li Yao would henceforth be an elite disciple.

From then on, the matter was practically settled.

Although there were some minor setbacks, the smoothness and speed of things progressed still exceeded Li Yao's expectations.

Holding the white jade token that symbolized his status as an elite disciple, Li Yao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Isn't this process a bit too fast?
"Chong'er, take Li Yao into the depths of Rising Sun Divine Island. I'm going back to guard the Suspended Mirror Palace," Elder Zhang said with a grave expression.

The matter is now settled. Even if someone comes, as long as they say they have accepted Li Yao, no one can refute it.

However, just to be on the safe side, it would be best to take them deep into the Sunrise Island, where a powerful figure from their lineage would be in charge, ensuring absolute safety.

“I understand, Father. Please rest assured that Rising Sun Island will not give other factions a chance to intervene regarding your dereliction of duty,” Zhang Chong said.

Upon hearing this, Li Yao looked at Elder Zhang and Zhang Chong with some surprise. He knew from their way of addressing each other that their relationship was unusual and that they shared the same surname, but he never expected that they were father and son.

"Yes, I understand." Elder Zhang wasted no time; a dazzling divine rainbow shot out from his body and soared upwards. With Li Yao's eyesight, he disappeared from sight in an instant. Only after the elder vanished did Zhang Chong withdraw his gaze. He was clad in armor, exuding great majesty, yet his attitude towards Li Yao was surprisingly kind.

"Don't be shy, come with me."

In this world, if you want others to look at you differently, you must have that ability. Li Yao is not qualified now, but his future is worth looking forward to.

As long as nothing absurd like the fall of a genius happens, Li Yao will receive more and more goodwill in the future.

The dazzling divine light enveloped Li Yao once again, but this time it wasn't as urgent. Zhang Chong also remembered that Li Yao was just a mortal without cultivation, so the speed wasn't too fast.

Sunrise Island is a floating island in the sky. Although it is called an island, it covers an extremely large area.

Along the way, Li Yao saw many strange sights. The flowers and plants by the roadside shimmered with light, each leaf exuded greenery, and a fresh fragrance wafted out. With just a slight inhale, he felt his fatigue instantly dissipate.

There are also those strangely shaped rocks, towering trees that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see, a divine island floating in the air, and white clouds drifting up, making everything hazy and indistinct, as if one has truly arrived in a fairyland.

There were many disciples on the island, and they all bowed respectfully when they saw Zhang Chong. However, when these disciples saw Li Yao, their eyes showed envy.

Zhang Chong holds a high position within the Rising Sun Island lineage, while Li Yao is a complete stranger. It's easy to guess that he is a disciple who has just joined the Yao Guang Holy Land.

A disciple who has just joined the sect and is brought in by Zhang Chong is bound to have a high future status.

"Master Zhang, I have now joined the Holy Land. When can I officially begin my cultivation?" Li Yao couldn't help but ask curiously on the way.

Now everything is ready, and all that's missing is a cultivation scripture. Of course, the reason he dared to ask Zhang Chong so directly is because he has realized that with his talent, the other party would tolerate him if he did something that wasn't too outrageous.

As expected, Zhang Chong did not think much of Li Yao's words, but patiently replied, "After I meet my uncle, I can teach you the Yao Guang Scripture."

At this moment, Li Yao was incredibly pleasing to the eye in Zhang Chong's eyes. Even though he hadn't done anything, Zhang Chong just felt that he admired this young man.

This is the filter of genius. If it were an ordinary disciple, Zhang Chong probably wouldn't even bother to talk to him.

Soon, Zhang Chong led Li Yao to the depths of the divine island, where the essence was much richer and purer than outside.

Because of his physical limitations, the amount of essence Li Yao absorbed did not change much, but because of its purity, he felt better at the moment.

Feeling ethereal and as if about to ascend to heaven, Li Yao could directly sense that his body was becoming stronger and stronger, his limbs and bones feeling warm and comfortable, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

Zhang Chong was also paying attention to Li Yao's changes. With his keen eyesight, he could easily see the changes in Li Yao's body.

He was absolutely certain at this moment that, apart from the Holy Son of Yao Guang, no one else in the Holy Land could surpass Li Yao in talent, and even the Holy Maiden was probably only on par with him.
