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

"Bro, let's not mess this up."

Just as he woke up from his enlightenment, he saw a gigantic hand reaching out to grab them. Ye Fan rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

Sha Xiao smiled and wasn't flustered at all.

He's just a humorous old crocodile; don't be fooled by how terrifying he seems in the original story.

That was purely because none of Ye Fan and his group had ever cultivated before; even the Five-Colored Altar was activated using the most primitive blood sacrifice.

No one really thinks that they can activate a super star teleportation array like the Five-Colored Altar with just the broken copper and scrap iron of the Great Thunderclap Temple and the insignificant flesh and blood of the Crocodile Ancestor's clone.

That was just a trigger to activate the teleportation array.

With him here, the five-colored altar has been fully activated ahead of schedule, and the nine-dragon coffin has been warmed up.

Even if Crocodile Ancestor completely escapes the seal, it's just a matter of nine dragons and one tail.

Although the current people of Shrouding the Heavens don't recognize them, these nine dragon corpses are genuine immortal-level beings.

With a "whoosh," Kowloon was already on track.

Crocodile Ancestor's eyes flashed, he sneered, and his large hand reached out to grab the Nine Dragons.

"Snapped!"

With a casual flick of its tail, Kowloon easily slapped Crocodile Ancestor's hand down.

"Um?"

The crocodile ancestor was stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered.

He is none other than the mighty Monkey King!

It is an existence that is only one step away from the highest realm in this universe!

It's just a dragon; he often eats a few when he's out.

Even the corpses of those Emperor Realm figures stronger than him are enough to crush the Great Sun!

These dark, murky dragon corpses have nothing special about them, and I can't see anything extraordinary about them.

Years of experience traversing the galaxy gave Crocodile Ancestor an instant sense that something was wrong.

But before he could make another move.

With a clang, the bronze coffin lid slammed shut, and the nine dragons pulled the coffin by its tail, causing the Path into the Starry Sky to disappear.

"snort!"

Crocodile Ancestor stared at the ancient road in the starry sky, memorizing Sha Xiao's image.

This is the first person to provoke him since he was released after serving two thousand years in prison.

It was precisely because Sha Xiao was not strong that he found him disgusting, just as disgusting as the bald monk!

---------------

After entering the ancient starry road, the bronze coffin actually stabilized.

In the darkness, some people were weeping softly, while others were shivering.

The moment I close my eyes, a horrific image flashes before my eyes: my forehead is pierced, blood splatters, and my brains spill out.

All of this felt like a nightmare, or a ghost, lingering in everyone's hearts.

Sha Xiao didn't speak, silently leaning against the small coffin, leaving the space to her classmates.

Between life and death lies immense terror!

No matter how much Sha Xiao warned them that civilization was fading away and the world would become a dog-eat-dog world, it was no use.

Even that can't compare to the shock of witnessing a classmate die after four years of bad luck just because he couldn't find the Buddha's treasure, or the shock of seeing someone push their classmate out of the house faster.

Inside the giant bronze coffin, it was pitch black. Some female students were sobbing, while some male students were sighing. Although they had escaped, the future was uncertain and unpredictable.

This time, due to the infighting on Liu Yunzhi's side, more classmates died than in the original story, and the originally scarce Buddhist artifacts are now available to each person.

Sha Xiao could only sigh; he wasn't a nanny, but he wasn't a bloodthirsty person either.

He took action and changed some things, but things only got worse.

But he was also somewhat pleased, for even turning bad was a change, and countless grand torrents of destiny are formed from such small ripples.

The world has already been changed by him, and no one can say for sure whether Ye Fan can stop the dark turmoil.

All he could do was keep this feeling in mind and constantly remind himself of it.

They returned the damaged Buddhist artifacts to the students, giving them a little sense of security.

It wasn't until much later that the inside of the bronze coffin became quiet.

According to Earth's time, it is now late at night. Everyone is exhausted and listless, and they have all fallen into a deep sleep.

Many people remain anxious and fearful in their dreams, clutching the relics of the gods tightly in their hands, as if seeking reliance and support from them.

They need time to accept and adapt to all of this.

That night, everyone slept very restlessly.

Many people are awakened from nightmares after only two hours of sleep.

The rustling sound of their companions' clothes rubbing against the ground was enough to give them goosebumps and make their hands and feet go cold.

At such times, they could only feel a little more at ease when they turned around and saw Sha Xiao sitting cross-legged beside the small coffin that no one dared to approach.

Although they had some complaints about Sha Xiao when he provoked that terrifying demon.

But now, the sight of Sha Xiaohao laughing and teasing the great demon with boundless confidence brought them a sense of peace.

These are their classmates, people from the same place as them.

Perhaps, perhaps one day in the future they too will be able to manipulate demons like Sha Xiao.

The night is long, and people are healing themselves using the oldest methods of healing.

Sha Xiao also examined her inner energy center and took stock of what she had gained along the way.

On the sea of ​​crimson iron-colored true essence, a small Bodhi leaf remained unmoved at the very center.

This was truly Sha Xiao's greatest gain along the way: "Six-Turn Law Dao Immortal Gu - Blinding".

This was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise, something he hadn't planned.

The formation of this immortal Gu was entirely due to the Bodhi Tree itself; Sha Xiao merely provided an insignificant Breath-Concealing Gu as a catalyst.

"Why......"

Sha Xiao should be happy to have the Immortal Gu, but instead she was sighing and looking worried.

The art of Gu is profound and extensive; even starting from the smallest things, one can directly touch upon the Great Dao. However, it is not without its flaws.

The most direct flaw is these Gu worms.

The core of Gu Dao lies in nurturing, using, and refining. When the Great Dao transforms into Gu worms, they are like living beings, needing to be fed and rested.

Having the memories of a Venerable One, the only limitation for Sha Xiao in using and refining Gu is his strength.

But raising Gu worms would be a real headache for Sha Xiao.

It's not that the Venerable One doesn't know how to raise them, it's that this world lacks the materials to raise them; even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

For example, the Attitude Immortal Gu needs to be fed with a material called Luminous Fruit, but how could Luminous Fruit exist in the world of Shrouding the Heavens?

Originally, if Sha Xiao wanted to feed a 6th-level Attitude Gu, he would have had to painstakingly search for materials similar to Luminous Fruit in the universe.

However, the world of "Covering the Sky" is no ordinary world.

Here, there is a panacea—divine power!

The divine power of cultivators is inherently mixed with various Dao traces, and the divine power of high-level cultivators can almost replace most materials to help with feeding in a short period of time.

Sha Xiao is so clever!

From the very beginning, he had no intention of holding the Sixth-Turn Attitude Gu for long; he had long planned to hand it over to the Great Accomplished Holy Body God.

Although it is merely a divine thought, condensing high-quality divine power is still quite easy for it.

In this way, Sha Xiao can both resolve the threat of the divine thought and find a patron for the Attitude Gu.

However, the unexpected Blinding Immortal Gu cannot be dealt with.

This immortal Gu needs to consume at least one divine leaf of the level of the immortal medicine every year, and it also needs one divine leaf each time it is used.

He is able to use it now entirely because of those six Bodhi leaves supporting him.

However, once it is used too much, the immortal Gu will lose its support and naturally starve to death and dissipate.

There aren't that many elixirs of immortality in this world; the vast majority of them have been taken by the Great Emperor!

Some emperors never even found the elixir of immortality in their entire lives!

Aside from the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Undying Mountain Forbidden Zone, the number of other Undying Medicine's divine leaves is also limited.

What I'm saying is, how come someone on Earth has to take on a mortgage, while in Beidou, someone so young has to take on such a huge debt?

Thinking about this, Sha Xiao couldn't help but sigh; life was truly difficult.

In the vast sea of ​​true essence, besides the blinding immortal Gu, there were also many Gu worms that Sha Xiao had accumulated over the years.

The first level includes the Stealing Gu used to build the core secret technique "Formless Hand" of the Stealing Heaven Venerable, as well as the Belt Gu, and the three Gu of Knife, Sword, and Blade, which are low-end Gu worms.

The second-stage Gu includes the Armored Gu, which resembles a longhorn beetle; the Breath-Gathering Gu, which looks like a leaf; and the Bonding Gu, which resembles a Chinese knot.

The third stage includes the Peeping Gu, the False Gu, the Empty Gu, and another Venerable One, the Mad Demon Lord, known for his Transformation Dao, whose core inheritance is the Shapeshifting Gu.

Before he created the Attitude Gu on Earth, the limit he could create was a fourth-level Gu worm.

The only fourth-stage Gu worm is called the Miraculous Hand Gu, and it is a one-time use Gu worm.

As the name suggests, that kind of Gu worm can make a person's hands more dexterous, giving them a pair of skillful hands. Sha Xiao had long ago put these skills into practice.

For items like the belt gu and armor gu, which only require ropes, physical objects like refined iron are the easiest to deal with.

Other types of Gu worms include those that spy on others' photos, those that create fake artifacts by hand, the northwest wind, and liquid caterpillars after they have formed a cocoon...

The materials for feeding Gu worms are all-encompassing and incredibly troublesome.

Sha Xiao has basically refined all kinds of Gu worms that can be refined, but most of those Gu worms starved to death.

The ones he kept were all carefully selected, as they were easy to raise and useful.

"Sha Xiao?" Ye Fan patted Sha Xiao and called out softly.

"What's wrong?" Sha Xiao withdrew from her internal vision.

Ye Fan touched the Bodhi seed in his arms, which was gradually warming up, and glanced at the small coffin behind him, asking, "Did you hear something?"

This coffin within a coffin is covered with verdigris and rust, and is carved with many ancient ancestors and deities, exuding an ancient and weathered atmosphere.

Sha Xiao immediately understood that this was Ye Fan's opportunity in the original story.

He quickly woke Pang Bo, took out the Blinding Immortal Gu and had the three of them hold it together, placing their hands on the small coffin: "This is an opportunity, listen carefully."

In an instant, the Bodhi Seed and the Immortal Gu resonated, forcibly opening a door for them, and a very special voice echoed in the minds of the three.

The sound emanating from the ancient and mysterious bronze coffin before them grew louder and louder, like the voice of the Great Dao or a profound and mysterious truth.

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little..."

The mysterious Daoist Heavenly Sound begins with a famous quote from a Daoist classic, but what follows is an ancient and profound text that is unheard of and whose meaning is difficult to understand.

A vast and profound voice, seemingly piercing through time and space from the ancient wilderness, resonated in the ears of the three like a grand bell, and entered their hearts.

The Great Dao's Heavenly Sound is as deep and vast as the ocean; every word it utters is like the sea collapsing and the abyss splitting, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

Like an ancient chant or a primordial god's prayer, it flowed endlessly, piercing the ancient sky, shaking his heart and stirring his thoughts, leaving him disoriented.

This profound and mysterious hymn is not lengthy at all; on the contrary, it is concise and to the point, consisting of only a few hundred words in total. It has a simple and ancient feel to it, where the great way is simple, the hustle and bustle fades away, and one returns to simplicity and authenticity.

The divine sound dissipated, and the three of them awoke as if from a dream from the sound of the Dao.

"Damn it, I don't remember anything!" Pang Bo touched his hair and couldn't help but hit his head.

"I remember, I'll write it down for you later." Ye Fan touched the fading warmth of the Bodhi seed, knowing it had helped him.

As Sha Xiao watched his true essence silently turn silvery-white, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Seeing Sha Xiao's upturned lips, Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at him curiously: "Did you make a big gain?"

Sha Xiao shook his head: "Like Pang Bo, I didn't remember everything, but I broke through to a higher realm. I have a feeling this will be beneficial for my future ascension to immortality."

"Old Ye, you don't need to think about writing it for us. Such a celestial scripture cannot be contained in an ordinary vessel."

Ye Fan tried it and found that he really couldn't write it down, and he couldn't even say it out loud.

He shook his head: "What a pity."

Pang Bo didn't care at all and casually patted Ye Fan on the shoulder:

"Not hearing everything isn't necessarily a bad thing. Doesn't the old saying go that what suits you best is the best?"

Suddenly, all the Buddhist artifacts spontaneously emitted specks of light, dispelling the darkness inside the ancient coffin.

In an instant, everyone woke up.

"What's wrong?" Everyone approached Sha Xiao and asked.

Sha Xiao pointed to the wall engraved with star maps and said, "It's nothing, we're almost there."

Zhou Yi strode up and began to examine it carefully.

The light converged into a thin line on the star map, flowing and spreading along it, with the solar system clearly visible on the line.

Zhou Yi turned to Sha Xiao and asked, "That shimmering line hasn't spread anymore. I recognize this place; is it the Big Dipper?"

Sha Xiao nodded: "It seems that's correct for now."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi looked up at Sha Xiao and asked sincerely:

"Sha Xiao, we are about to officially step into that cruel world."

"For the sake of our friendship, I beg you, could you lead us onto the path of spiritual practice?"

"A hero needs three helpers. Facing the unknown world together, it's better for us to face it together than for you to bear it alone."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they were overjoyed. Finally, someone dared to bring it up!

"That's right, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."

"Maybe we're cultivation geniuses too?"

The surviving students excitedly gathered around and started chattering excitedly.

Overjoyed, Zhang Ziling and Liu Yiyi turned their gaze away somewhat embarrassedly and stepped back.

Li Xiaoman silently circled the small coffin and moved closer to Sha Xiao and the others.

Sha Xiao frowned slightly as she looked at everyone's expressions, and began to think with a troubled expression.

"Don't push your luck!" Ye Fan took a step forward and looked at everyone.

Pang Bo shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Exactly. Sha Xiao has his own considerations regarding whether he's willing to teach or not. Look at the Buddhist artifacts in your hands; hasn't he helped us?"

"I support Sha Xiao's decision. He knows more than we do, and I believe he won't harm us."

Suddenly, Li Xiaoman spoke, her voice steady and magnetic, each word deliberate and resolute.

"Li Xiaoman, you're standing over there!?"

Some people felt betrayed.

"With Ye Fan around, he'll definitely side with them..." someone said sourly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi quickly added, "Everyone, calm down. Sha Xiao, that's not what I meant. You should understand what I mean."

"Zhou Yi, you..."

"boom!"

A tremendous tremor shook the room once more, interrupting the argument.
