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

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

As soon as the call connected, Xiaoqing's overjoyed voice came from the other end.

Pang Bo readily took on the role of the Snake language interpreter.

After a brief conversation, he finally understood the situation and looked at Ye Fan with a bewildered expression:

"She said she saw us. Old Sha has the Azure Emperor helping him refine the Gu, so the lightning can't strike him for now. She's just a little scared and wants us to go and keep her company as soon as possible."

After repeating Xiaoqing's words, Pang Bo swallowed hard, feeling somewhat guilty, and said:

"Ye Zi, did I hear that right? Isn't the Azure Emperor the owner of this mausoleum we're standing in?"

"Could it be that we went too far and caused it to come back to life?"

Ye Fan and Sect Leader Li both widened their eyes in surprise, their heads buzzing.

What?

Is the Azure Emperor helping Sha Xiao refine Gu?

Has he been resurrected?

Or perhaps he didn't die?

What is the purpose of this enormous mausoleum?

It can't just be the Azure Emperor's personal preference, can it?

Ye Fan shook his head, strengthened his resolve, and gave the order:

"Never mind all that, since we can see it, we can report its location. Let's find a way in first."

"Whether it's a ghost, a zombie, or the real resurrection of the Green Emperor, we'll face it together with Old Sand!"

Pang Bo nodded knowingly and asked about the location.

Soon, they passed through the dense array of sacred artifacts and approached Sha Xiao's direction.

After they had walked for a while, a kind-looking, plump Taoist priest emerged from the void, muttering in fear:

"That 'Boundless Heavenly Venerable,' could the Great Emperor really be causing a corpse calamity?"

"Forget it, let the brave young people explore it. We'll just stick to the scraps from the less traveled paths."

As he spoke, the fat Taoist priest disappeared again.

After a while, he returned to the same spot.

Seeing the scene of thunder and lightning inside, the fat Taoist gritted his teeth, took out a broken bowl, put it on his head, and rushed in.

"When a person dies, they fly to the heavens; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years. May the boundless Heavenly Venerable protect them!"

If Ye Fan and his companions could see it, they would realize that the fat Taoist priest was almost a one-to-one replica of their movements.

"Where are those petty thieves?"

Before long, the surviving elders cautiously caught up with them.

One person pointed to the center where lightning kept striking and said:

"They must have gone there. Should we give chase?"

At this point, the elders hesitated. If they continued to pursue the matter, they feared they might lose their lives.

While they were still hesitating, many of the rogue cultivators who had been thrown in by the Holy Lord of Yaoguang and his group didn't care about anything else and rushed in.

Blood splattered intermittently, but this did not deter the rogue cultivators, who were passionate about seizing treasures and witnessing history, from rushing forward one after another.

While they were still hesitating, Ye Fan and Pang Bo had already arrived at Sha Xiao's location.

He sat cross-legged in the air, concentrating intently and oblivious to his surroundings as he refined the Gu worms in front of him, while Xiao Qing, wrapped around his neck, dared not move.

A cyan light shielded Sha Xiao, and a phantom figure stood beside him.

The essence of the sun, the five-colored divine wood, and the white bones of the nine netherworlds all revolved around Sha Xiao, waiting for him to beckon, at which point the illusory figure of the Great Emperor would hand those materials to Sha Xiao.

A huge hole appeared in the sky's dome, and five-colored lightning bolts rained down like raindrops.

But each time, before it even reached Sha Xiao's side, the phantom would raise its hand and bind the lightning-transformed dragons in its palm.

"The Azure Emperor's afterimage?" Li Xianyun's chest heaved violently as he stammered, "This...this is the Great Emperor protecting Fellow Daoist Sha, no, the Holy Son?"

Looking at the countless divine materials, Pang Bo felt a sudden surge of appetite.

The Daoist scriptures within Ye Fan's body shimmered with light, and the Bodhi seeds were frighteningly hot.

Beside him, a fat Taoist priest, hidden in the void, stared blankly at Sha Xiao without moving.

"What is that?"

The elders, who had suffered heavy losses, and the rogue cultivators who had been driven into the ancient hall, all covered in blood, rushed in.

Xiao Qing shuddered and threw two pieces of source energy weighing at least a thousand pounds to Pang Bo and the others with a "snap," then darted into Sha Xiao's body and hid.

She's terrified of fighting and bloodshed; she'll pay money, but fighting is out of the question.

Seeing this, Pang Bo quickly wrapped up Ye Fan and Yuan Yi, and also activated Xiao Qing's transformed innate divine power, disappearing on the spot.

The cultivators who rushed in were immediately captivated by the countless divine materials floating around Sha Xiao in the sky.

Five-colored divine soil as high as a small mountain, Taiyin divine water as large as a lake, Da Luo refined gold as large as a house, Nine Heavens divine jade as tall as a person, Dao Tribulation gold as thick as a finger...

It wasn't just the rogue cultivators; even the elders of powerful factions felt a burning jealousy ignite in their hearts the moment they considered this possibility.

How could Heaven and Earth be so unfair!

Despite their painstaking efforts and bloody battles, they could hardly obtain even a hair-thin divine material, which piled up like a small mountain around Sha Xiao.

And they can only be placed in the very corner or the very edge of the trash can!

Not to mention owning it, even just seeing it up close once is enough to record it in the family's glorious history—the Dao Tribulation Gold is revolving around Sha Xiao.

It's like a virtuous young woman who is pursuing Sha Xiao and is at his mercy anytime, anywhere!

The Ji family elder took a deep breath and came to his senses, looking at Sha Xiao in the center of all the divine materials.

Instantly, he couldn't help but gasp, his voice trembling as he said:

"Wait! Is that the Demon Emperor helping that kid forge a weapon?"

He had seen the phantom of the Void Emperor reflected in the Void Mirror from afar during a clan ceremony.

Therefore, he immediately determined that the phantom behind Sha Xiao was the afterimage of a great emperor.

The two emperors did not meet.

Who else could be the phantom in the Demon Emperor's tomb but the Demon Emperor Wan Qing?

Hearing the Ji family elder's voice, which was no different from a scream, the rogue cultivators finally noticed Sha Xiao, who was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on refining the Treasure Light Gu, and the figure behind him in the center of the countless treasures.

For a moment, hissing sounds filled the air.

It even caused the air in this area to be completely sucked out, turning it into a vacuum.

"Heavens! Could it be that the Demon Emperor left behind so many divine materials just to prepare for him?"

After a long while, someone mustered up the courage to whisper.

At this moment, Sha Xiao was completely immersed in the small Gu worm in front of her, and her mind was completely focused on the deduction process of this Gu formula.

As Sha Xiao continued to adjust the Gu formula, the Azure Emperor's illusory figure waved his hand and summoned dozens of tons of mudstone gold, sea heart vine, rootless water, wood heart fire, and volcanic rock.

"No, no! How could I be so stupid? Five lights, the important thing is five lights!"

"Stop spouting this nonsense about the Five Elements Divine Light giving birth to all things. Then why don't I refine the Five Elements Gu? The precious light must be preserved!"

Sha Xiao slapped the Emperor's illusory hand without hesitation, as if reprimanding a disciple.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted:

"Wait! I know what to use to create the ten colors! Quick, give me the Nine Heavens Divine Jade!"
