In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

"Elder Jiao, what did you see?"

A large demon with remnants of black armor on its back asked curiously.

The old dragon wiped away its tears, and, moved by the Demon Emperor's selfless spirit, it unreservedly revealed its method of observation.

Apart from the few powerful demons who were locked in fierce combat with Master Li, all the powerful demons and other strange beasts looked up and saw the remnant spirit with his hands behind his back.

"Demon Emperor—!"

"I regret being born ten thousand years too late! Unable to serve the Demon Emperor!"

"If it is the Demon Emperor, I am willing to bear his burden for the rest of my life!"

For a moment, all the great demons and monsters were plunged into deep reminiscence and regret.

There was no way around it; this image of the Demon Emperor was simply too appealing to the hearts of us country bumpkins.

Sha Xiao took a sip of tea from the bowl, then said with a hint of regret:

"Hehe, it wasn't in vain that I used up this fifth-level Spirit Light Gu."

On his shoulder, a lightning-shaped Gu worm had already lost its breath.

This is the new fifth-stage wisdom-based, one-time-use Gu worm he created by relying on the cultivation attainments of the Great Love Immortal Venerable and the world of Shrouding the Heavens—the Spirit Light Gu.

The method of making this kind of Gu is very simple; the difficulty lies in the Gu material.

To refine the Spirit Light Gu, you need a ray of spiritual light.

The higher the level of the Spirit Light Gu, the more it needs the spiritual light of a high-level cultivator.

It should be understood that a flash of inspiration from a high-level cultivator can often lead to a breakthrough, making it an extremely precious thing.

Once too much of a cultivator's spiritual energy is taken away, that cultivator will lose their spiritual power and find it difficult to break through to a higher realm.

Fortunately, the Spirit Light Gu's effects justify the cost of consuming this type of Gu.

This Gu worm can make a flash of inspiration in the mind of the person affected; it's practically a simplified, one-time-use wisdom Gu for the super poor.

Because these are precious thoughts from the depths of the recipient's own heart, once they appear and are grasped, they are easily believed.

Most people who use the Spiritual Light Gu will use it as a substitute for the Wisdom Gu to help them find new ideas.

However, by combining his own experiences with the memories of the Great Love Immortal Venerable and the Stealing Heaven Immortal Venerable in his mind, Sha Xiao found a new use for the Spirit Light Gu.

He recognized that the Spiritual Light Gu was difficult to defend against and hard to change once it took effect, so he developed a killer move—the different uses of the Spiritual Light Flash.

By guiding the enemy through words, illusions, and perspectives, you can make them see what you want them to see, leading them to develop false insights and achieving a misleading effect.

While everyone present was still in a standoff, Sha Xiao quietly slipped away to the side of the ancient temple and began to experiment.

He first utilized the mechanism of the Great Dao's imitation.

By using Gu worms such as the third-stage remembrance Gu, the fourth-stage projection Gu, and the fifth-stage shadow projection Gu, a fifth-stage shadow battlefield killing move is formed – "Self-Pitying in My Own Shadow".

This deadly move is connected to the ancient palace, pulling out the figure of the Azure Emperor, which was etched by the Great Dao when he was in this palace ten thousand years ago.

Then, using the Three-Turn Over-Intention Gu, the Three-Turn Exertion Gu, the Four-Turn False Intention Gu, the Three-Turn Heavenly Intention Gu, and the Four-Turn Good Intention Gu, the Five-Turn Wisdom Path Killing Move was formed—leaving the audience wanting more.

By using this deadly move to connect with the Great Dao, the remaining intent of the Azure Emperor in this place is collected and injected into the illusory image.

At this moment, the illusory figure carrying the essence of the Azure Emperor was as if the Azure Emperor had been reborn, and naturally gained the approval of the ancient palace.

Without Sha Xiao needing to intervene, the ancient palace proactively bound the Gu worm to the illusory figure.

Then Sha Xiao used the changes in the true meaning of the Mad Demon Lord to create a seemingly similar but actually flawed technique and incorporated it into the Flash of Light killing move.

Finally, Sha Xiao linked this killing move with the Azure Emperor's illusory image, forming a three-in-one formation of Wisdom, Shadow, and Light that was comparable to a sixth-level immortal killing move.

The Daoist rhyme belonged to the Azure Emperor, the silhouette was indeed that of the Azure Emperor, and even every single word was spoken by the Azure Emperor.

However, the specific content was slightly altered by Sha Xiao using printing techniques.

Even if you were to bring in a sage who had seen the Azure Emperor, they would not be able to detect any falsehood.

At most, they just felt that they hadn't personally witnessed the Azure Emperor saying those words.

But who can prove that the Green Emperor didn't say that?

Moreover, this does indeed seem like something a demon emperor might do.

Furthermore, although the true meaning of the Mad Demon Lord and the Heaven-Covering Technique are quite different.

But this cannot obscure the fact that it is the essence of the thoughts of a supreme figure.

This proves that the seemingly correct but actually flawed technique was at most something that the Azure Emperor didn't have time to fully develop, but it was definitely the essence of his life's work.

Sha Xiao then set up an array that randomly extracts the spiritual light of viewers and allows them to independently refine spiritual light gu.

Now, a self-sufficient and flawless misleading array, the fifth-level deception battlefield killing move—falsely conveying true intentions—is complete.

Unless a quasi-emperor comes and directly sees through the Dao trace fluctuations in the void to see through the great array that is refining Gu worms.

Otherwise, even if the Great Sage came, he would be deceived immediately.

However, this great formation will disappear in a few months at most because the Gu worms will die, leaving no way to verify the truth.

But at that time, this wild and untamed truth will surely be widely spread.

At that time, all those who practice this will become natural materials for the path of transformation.

Thinking of this, Sha Xiao couldn't help but hum a song.

Soon, all the demons present gradually understood what Sha Xiao had arranged.

His thoughts, mixed with his true intentions, gradually began to take effect.

The great demon with the remaining black armor on its back wept bitterly, expressing its gratitude to the Azure Emperor for his mercy, while looking thoughtfully at the old dragon.

The part about the tortoise transforming into Xuanwu in that seemingly plausible but actually flawed cultivation technique lingered in his mind.

"Black Tortoise? Atavism? Black Tortoise!"

Finally, a rebellious thought flashed through its mind:

"If I eat the old dragon, will I be able to transform into the Black Tortoise?"

Once the thought appeared, it subconsciously decided that the idea was correct.

Unbeknownst to it, it was only a hundred meters away from the old dragon.

"kill!"

The Xuan Turtle Demon instantly transformed into its strongest original form.

It opened its huge mouth, and its jet-black head lunged at the old dragon without warning, like lightning!

The chilling spiritual energy surged forth towards the old dragon without reservation.

"Click, click, click!"

The moisture in the air condensed into hexagons in the blink of an eye, turning into ice blocks that bound the old dragon to the spot.

Seeing that its large mouth had already enveloped the old dragon, which was unable to move for a moment, the black tortoise was overjoyed and immediately used all its strength to bite down!

"collapse!"

The ice shattered, and the black tortoise's upper and lower jaws collided violently, teeth flying everywhere and blood flowing freely.

Did they miss?

The black tortoise was shocked to discover that what it was biting was just a piece of skin!

"Ah! Elder Jiao, what are you doing?!?"

Suddenly, Jiao Lao appeared behind the python demon who was fighting fiercely with Sect Leader Li, and bit it in two!

"Once I transform into a dragon, I will be the next Demon Emperor! There's no need to search for a common ancestor; I will recreate the demon race for another ten thousand years!"

Blood stained the old dragon's entire body, and it swiftly swallowed half of the python demon's body.

After cracking open one of its itchy old scales, the old dragon was pleasantly surprised to find a new scale with dragon patterns growing underneath:

"It works! It really works! Hahaha!"

The old dragon's misty eyes widened, its murderous intent shattering the remaining clouds.

He cast his gaze upon all the serpentine beasts below, licked the blood from his lips, and pounced down:

"Thank you all for your help in ascending to the dragon's throne!"
