In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

"Ye Fan and his classmates are already seniors. In four years, the Three Incarnations Bronze Coffin will descend upon Earth..."

In the world of "Covering the Sky," in the capital of the Xia Kingdom, on a high-rise building on Jing'an Avenue, Yu Yi stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city's night view.

Yu Yi is a time traveler who grew up in an orphanage. Perhaps because of his time travel, he has the ability to remember everything he sees in this life.

Therefore, he excelled academically from a young age and, through his own efforts, first got into a key high school, and then, while working part-time, he studied and was admitted to Beijing University.

He started his own business during college, first making his first fortune by trading stocks, and then establishing an internet company as the internet boomed.

Because it benefited from the era's dividends, the company developed into a listed company in just three or four years, and its market value has now exceeded one billion.

Yu Yi originally thought he had just traveled to a parallel world on Earth, until his senior year when he met a junior named Ye Fan on the school's basketball team.

The key is Ye Fan's classmates, as well as Pang Bo, Li Xiaoman, Liu Yunzhi, Li Changqing, and others.

It was only then that Yu Yi realized that the world he had transmigrated to was actually the world of the novel "Covering the Sky".

Upon realizing he had transmigrated into the world of "Covering the Sky," Yu Yi immediately applied for a leave of absence from school and set off to seek out masters and immortals in famous mountains and rivers.

Unfortunately, he searched all the ancestral temples of Taoism, including Longhu Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and Maoshan Mountain, but could not find any practitioners.

Having read the novel "Covering the Sky," Yu Yi naturally knew that those Taoist ancestral temples had cultivators, but it was clear that they didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Since the path of becoming an apprentice is blocked, we have to find another way. A living person can't be driven to despair by the need to pee.

Yu Yi spent a lot of money to assemble several "archaeological teams" to excavate ancient tombs everywhere under the guise of archaeology.

Over the years, archaeological teams have unearthed quite a few valuable artifacts, including a fragmented cultivation manual.

Although it's just a fragment of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm, it's enough for Yu Yi now.

Unfortunately, Earth is now in the Dharma-ending Age, making cultivation difficult. Yu Yi is also just a mortal, and after more than two years of cultivation, he still hasn't been able to escape the sea of ​​suffering.

"Mr. Yu, the archaeological team has returned. Three more died this time, but thankfully, they've finally found the ore you need..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and a beautiful woman in an elegant long dress walked in carrying a box.

The woman's name is Dong Yuexi. She is Yu Yi's secretary and also his classmate. She was noticed by Yu Yi because of her outstanding performance during university.

"Where are the things?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi couldn't help but show a look of joy. After digging up so many ancient tombs, they had finally unearthed the source.

Dong Yuexi opened the box and saw five fist-sized, irregularly shaped crystals resembling amber inside—the legendary Source.

"Tell the archaeological team that from now on, for every piece of this type of ore found, there will be a reward of 500,000!"

"Okay, Mr. Yu..."

After Dong Yuexi left, Yu Yi took the source and entered the cultivation room, eagerly beginning his cultivation.

To facilitate his cultivation, Yu Yi set aside a cultivation room in his office.

"After more than two years of cultivation, although I haven't been able to escape the Sea of ​​Bitterness, I have at least sensed my own Wheel of Life, so it wasn't a complete waste of effort..."

The first secret realm of the Heaven-Covering Technique is the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, which is divided into four realms: the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Spring of Life, the Bridge of Divine Power, and the Other Shore.

The first step in spiritual practice is to sense one's own life wheel, and then guide one's vital energy to overcome the sea of ​​suffering.

"These five source stones weigh about thirty pounds each, which should be enough for me to open the Sea of ​​Bitterness and become a cultivator..."

Yu Yi sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and held a source in each hand, silently circulating his cultivation technique to absorb the essence of heaven and earth within the source.

"Boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Yi's body trembled slightly, and he felt a rumbling within his body. After absorbing the third source, the Sea of ​​Bitterness had finally been successfully opened.

Yu Yi looked inward at himself and found that his sea of ​​suffering was only the size of a grain of rice, surrounded by darkness and without any unusual phenomena. Clearly, he did not have any special constitution.

Physical constitution is something that cannot be forced. In the end, most people in this world are ordinary. Being able to open up the sea of ​​suffering and truly embark on the path of cultivation is already quite remarkable.

"Huh? There seems to be something in my head, it looks like a shard of a mirror..."

When Yu Yi's divine sense came into contact with the mirror fragments, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"It's actually the remnants of a system..."

The mirror-like fragments were the remnants of the system, which was shattered by an unknown force when it brought Yu Yi to the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

"I knew it! How could a transmigrator not have a cheat system? Turns out, the cheat system was shattered..."

Although the system was shattered, leaving only a fragment, it still retained two major functions: traversing the heavens and analyzing and replicating all things.

The time travel function goes without saying; by consuming the corresponding source energy, one can travel through countless worlds.

As for the analysis and copying function, it can analyze the essence of all things and then consume source energy to copy them.

For example, if Yu Yi could obtain a drop of Ye Fan's blood, he could analyze and replicate the Ancient Sacred Body.

However, after the system was broken, the time travel function was still intact, but the analysis and copying function was incomplete, and it could only analyze and copy items within the human realm.

However, whether it's time travel or analyzing and replicating a special physique, both require a large amount of source energy.

Although the system's remains are constantly absorbing special energy from the outside world and converting it into source energy, the rate of absorption and conversion is extremely slow.

In addition to passively absorbing external energy and converting it into source energy from the system's remains, Yu Yi can also actively collect luck, incense offerings, merits, and so on, and convert them into source energy.

[Host: Yu Yi]

[Realm: Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm - Sea of ​​Bitterness]

[Constitution: Ordinary]

[Cultivation Technique: The Sutra of Forgetting Dust (Fragment)]

[Source energy: 250]

Because the system was broken and only a fragment remained, Yu Yi's attribute panel was very basic.

The Forget-Dust Scripture that Yu Yi cultivates was unearthed by an archaeological team in an ancient tomb. The tomb's owner was an unknown cultivator from the pre-Qin period.

"Relying solely on the system remnants to passively absorb external energy and convert it into source energy is too slow. We must find a way to collect good fortune, incense offerings, and merits..."

On the attribute panel, the 250 points of source energy should be the result of the system remnants passively absorbing and converting external energy over the past 25 years.

First is merit. Obtaining merit is undoubtedly the most difficult thing. Only by making great contributions to heaven and earth and all living beings will heaven bestow merit as a reward.

The key point is that in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, merit doesn't seem to be popular. The Shrouding the Heavens universe doesn't even have the Heavenly Dao, so it's basically impossible to obtain merit.

Secondly, there's the matter of incense offerings. In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, quite a few powerful figures have taken this path, such as the Undying Emperor and Ye Fan in the later stages, both of whom possessed faith bodies.

The so-called faith body is a physical entity formed by the will and faith of a powerful cultivator, and to a certain extent, it possesses the power and memories of the original body.

Yu Yi has only just begun his cultivation. Developing a faith or something like that is too early for him. He can consider it when he becomes stronger.

Finally, only luck remains, which is the easiest of the three to obtain. Luck can be further divided into personal luck, national luck, clan luck, and so on.
