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

"Alright, enough of the small talk. Didn't you want to learn the Heaven-Covering Technique? I'll teach you now."

"But you must remember one thing: the law cannot be passed on without my permission, not even to your closest relatives."

Give Fan Xian a little incentive to motivate him to work hard. After all, the source is in his hands, and if Fan Xian wants to cultivate, he can only rely on him.

"real?"

Fan Xian was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately forgot about the fact that he was Emperor Qing's illegitimate son.

"The cultivation technique I'm about to impart to you is called the Forget-Dust Scripture, but the Forget-Dust Scripture I obtained is only a fragment; at most, you can cultivate it to the peak of the Dao Palace Secret Realm..."

Yu Yi began to recount the Suffering Sea Chapter of the Forget-Dust Sutra - the Secret Realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels. This was unavoidable, as he was currently only at the Life Spring Realm and could not yet transmit the Dharma through divine sense.

"Brother Yu, could you speak a little slower? You're going so fast, I can't keep up with your writing..."

Despite having traveled through so many years, Fan Xian still wasn't used to using a calligraphy brush. He wrote slowly and his characters were incredibly ugly, almost unbearable to look at.

In addition, Fan Xian is quite shrewd; he knows that if he uses simplified Chinese characters from his previous life, people in this world probably won't recognize them.

The Suffering Sea Chapter of the Forget-Dust Sutra, which has more than 700 words, took Fan Xian a full half hour to write, until his hand ached, before he finally finished writing it all.

"Brother Yu, I seem to remember reading something in the novel that mentioned the Daoist Scripture as the strongest cultivation method in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm..."

Fan Xian thought back carefully and found that the novel "Covering the Sky" did not mention a cultivation technique called "Forget the Dust Scripture". Obviously, "Forget the Dust Scripture" is not an imperial scripture.

"It's good enough that you have some cultivation, yet you still complain about this and that. This Forget-Dust Scripture was unearthed from an ancient tomb by an archaeological team I assembled at great expense."

"Keep these ten resources! Consider it my donation; it's enough for you to escape this sea of ​​suffering."

He casually tossed ten Yuan to Fan Xian, each weighing one jin. Fan Xian was just an ordinary mortal, not someone with a special constitution, so ten jin of Yuan was enough for him to open up the sea of ​​suffering.

"Brother Yu, I can't thank you enough..."

Fan Xian looked on with curiosity as he carefully examined the thumb-sized object in his hand, which was as clear and translucent as amber and emitted a faint luster.

"If you really want to repay me, then do your job well from now on. Alright, go back and study the cultivation technique carefully! If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me for guidance..."

……

"Fan Xian, are you alright?"

Seeing Fan Xian emerge from the military camp with a joyful expression, Fan Jian, who was waiting outside, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. His Highness just told me something, and I'd like to ask you, Father, about it..."

Fan Xian's expression was complicated. When he saw Fan Jian, he couldn't help but think of the fact that he was Emperor Qing's illegitimate son.

"What is it?"

"His Highness said that I am His Majesty's illegitimate son, and that he and I are half-brothers..."

Fan Jian's expression changed slightly, but since Fan Xian already knew, there was no need to hide it.

"You are indeed His Majesty's son. Your mother was murdered years ago, and to protect your safety, I adopted you and settled you in our hometown of Danzhou..."

Fan Jian told Fan Xian everything that happened back then, including how Ye Qingmei was killed by the Empress and how he and Chen Pingping slaughtered the Empress's entire clan.

What Fan Jianwei didn't say was that, like Chen Pingping, he had doubts about the cause of Ye Qingmei's death, and he had been trying to find out the truth for years.

Not long ago, the eldest prince sent someone to tell him that the mastermind behind Ye Qingmei's death was Emperor Qing. Fan Jian has been investigating to confirm the truth of this matter.

"In my heart, you will always be my father, and I have no desire to be a prince."

Fan Xian never cared about being a prince; all he ever wanted was the truth.

"There is one more thing I think I should tell my father: I have pledged allegiance to His Highness."

"You...you're so foolish!"

Fan Jian's expression changed drastically, but Fan Xian had already pledged allegiance to the First Prince, so it was too late to say anything now.

"Father, believe me! I'm doing this for the sake of the Fan family. You don't know His Highness's strength, otherwise you would have made the same choice as me."

"What do you mean? Didn't the First Prince just break through to the Grandmaster level? What other strength could he have?"

"Grandmaster? Your Highness is no Grandmaster at all. A Grandmaster isn't even worthy to carry Your Highness's shoes. Your Highness could crush a Grandmaster with a single finger!"

"Hiss~ Is that really true?"

If what Fan Xian said is true, and the First Prince's strength is enough to crush a Grandmaster, then the First Prince will surely succeed in this rebellion to seize the throne.

"Father, could you entrust me with command of the Tiger Guards? I want to lend His Highness a helping hand..."

"Alright!"

What else could Fan Jian do? He was already on the wrong path, and now he had no choice but to go all the way down this dark road.

……

"Your Highness, news has come from Fan Xian, Chen Pingping, Ye Zhong, and others that they will seek an opportunity to open the city gates at midnight tonight..."

"Pass down the order: tonight, horses must remain saddled and men must remain armored, be prepared for battle at any moment..."

"promise!"

That very night, with the help of Fan Xian and others, Yu Yi led a large army into the city and easily took control of the entire capital.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Chen Pingping, Ye Zhong, Fan Jian, and Lin Ruofu have all betrayed us."

"They coordinated from within and without, opening the city gates, and the Crown Prince's army has already entered the city..."

Eunuch Hou rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a panic. Emperor Qing, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly became wide awake and sat up in bed with a start.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Grandmaster Ye Liuyun has just broken into the palace and kidnapped Consort Ning..."

At this moment, Hong Sixiang also arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He was covered in blood, clearly having just fought with Ye Liuyun and suffered a great loss at Ye Liuyun's hands.

Although Hong Sixiang was known as invincible below the Grandmaster level, he was no match for a true Grandmaster. It was only because Ye Lingyun didn't want to kill him that he was already dead.

"Hahaha, good, good, they've all rebelled. I trusted them so much."

Emperor Qing's face was contorted with rage, his teeth clenched. He wondered what benefits his rebellious son had promised them that had caused all his trusted ministers to betray him.

"Kill them..."

Suddenly, shouts of battle came from outside the palace. It was clear that the rebels had begun to attack the palace, but it would not be so easy to break into it.

Because the palace is guarded by the most elite Red Cavalry of the Qing Kingdom. The Red Cavalry is specifically responsible for protecting the Qing Kingdom's royal family and for handling matters such as the emperor's travel etiquette.

The Red Riders are very mysterious and rarely make a move, but they are universally recognized as the most powerful army in the Qing Kingdom, even surpassing the world-renowned Black Riders.

"Let's go! Accompany me to meet that rebellious son. Also, I want to ask Chen Pingping and Fan Jian in person why they betrayed me..."

Emperor Qing could accept betrayal from others, but he found it particularly difficult to accept the betrayal from Chen Pingping and Fan Jian.
