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

Yu Yi believed that as long as the Great Accomplished Holy Body was in a conscious state, upon seeing the two descendants of the Holy Body lineage, he would be generous in bestowing upon them the inheritance of the Holy Body lineage.

The most core elements of the Holy Body lineage are the single secret realm cultivation method and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

The method of cultivating in a single secret realm can be considered a kind of auxiliary secret technique, while the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist is a fist technique that is very suitable for the Holy Body, and is extremely strong, powerful and yang.

Of course, the method of cultivating in a single secret realm is not unique to the Holy Body; other cultivators can also cultivate it.

The Shrouding the Heavens Secret Realm System allows you to cultivate the five major secret realms in sequence, or you can cultivate a single secret realm. The latter can be considered an exploration process within the secret realm system.

"Senior, why did you bring me here? What's going on? You're being so mysterious..."

You'll find out soon enough...

Yu Yi led Ye Fan to the edge of the abyss in the desolate ancient forbidden land, took a deep breath, and shouted towards the abyss.

"Junior Yu Yi, along with Ye Fan, a junior of the Holy Body lineage, requests an audience with the Great Completion Holy Body Senior..."

"Clang!"

A clanging sound of chains came from the bottom of the abyss, and then Yu Yi and Ye Fan felt a dizzying sensation as they found themselves in the abyss.

A majestic figure, covered in golden fur, looked terrifying and was shrouded in thick mist; it was the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body was ten zhang tall, with shackles on its body that rattled loudly. Amidst the golden hair and mist, a pair of blood-red eyes peeked out.

"It can be said that Heaven has blessed my Holy Body lineage, for two Holy Bodies have been born in one era. But how did you, a junior, know that I was here?"

"Um~ Can I not answer this question? I don't want to make up an excuse to deceive you, senior..."

It's best not to lie in front of such people, because they're likely to see through you at a glance.

"Enough! Those trivial details are irrelevant whether we talk about them or not. Do you have something to discuss with me?"

Just as Yu Yi had expected, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body did not pursue the matter further; perhaps it was just a casual question.

"We have come to see you, senior, to request the inheritance of the Holy Body lineage..."

"Can!"

With a flick of his finger, the Great Accomplished Holy Body unleashed two beams of divine light, which entered the brows of Yu Yi and Ye Fan respectively, instantly adding a memory to their minds.

Yu Yi examined it carefully and discovered that it was the single secret realm cultivation method of the Holy Body lineage, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and a profound and unfathomable scripture.

That scripture was definitely an imperial scripture, probably a cultivation method for achieving the Great Perfection of the Holy Body. As someone who once ruled the world, he would naturally not lack imperial scriptures.

"Thank you for passing on your skills, senior..."

Yu Yi bowed respectfully, and Ye Fan quickly followed suit. Although he was still confused, he knew that whatever Yu Yi did was the right thing to do.

"I have another request, though I'm ashamed to ask. I wonder if you, senior, have a way to remove the deathly aura from this object?"

Yu Yi took all the branches of the ginseng fruit tree out of the Yin-Yang Mirror. After he obtained it, he kept it on a high shelf.

"A branch of the Immortal Tree? You're quite lucky, young man. However, these branches are tainted with death energy and must be cleansed before they can be used as medicine."

"You've come to the right person. If it were anyone else, even a supreme being would find it difficult to remove the death aura, because the death aura and the branches have long been intertwined."

"However, the blood of our sacred bodies naturally has a restraining effect on all evil forces. I'll give you a drop of blood; use it to cleanse yourself of the deathly aura!"

After the Great Accomplished Holy Body finished speaking, a drop of red blood transformed into a beam of red light and flew towards Yu Yi. Yu Yi quickly activated the Yin-Yang Mirror to collect the blood.

The blood of the Ancient Sacred Body is initially golden, but once the Sacred Body is fully formed, it will return to its original state, and the golden blood will turn red again.

Yu Yi had already tried it with his own blood, but it couldn't clear away the death energy. Perhaps only blood at the level of a Great Perfection Holy Body would be effective!

Of course, the drop of blood from the Great Accomplishment Holy Body was specially treated; otherwise, a single drop of blood from the Great Accomplishment Holy Body would be enough to crush thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

"That's enough, you should leave!"

The red light in the eyes of the Great Accomplished Holy Body grew stronger and stronger, and the mist around its body increased. It was estimated that it would soon fall into a dazed state again.

The familiar feeling returned, and after a dizzying spin, Yu Yi and Ye Fan came to their senses and found themselves back above the abyss.

"Senior, that senior just now..."

Ye Fan had too many questions in his mind, and could only roughly deduce from the conversation between Yu Yi and the Great Accomplished Sacred Body that he possessed a physique called the Sacred Body.

"That was a senior member of our Holy Body lineage, a supreme figure who once reigned over the universe..."

"The full name of the Sacred Body is the Ancient Sacred Body, also known as the Indestructible Golden Body. It is an invincible physique..."

Yu Yi gave a brief account of the deeds of the nine ancient holy bodies in protecting the human race and suppressing the dark turmoil, which made Ye Fan's blood boil.

"But don't be too happy yet. After the ancient era, the laws of heaven and earth changed, and the Sacred Body is no longer suitable for cultivation, making it extremely difficult to achieve success..."

"Besides that, the Holy Body lineage has a formidable enemy and is cursed, its old age is uncertain. Didn't you see that senior was covered in golden hair?"

Thinking of that senior, covered in golden hair, who had locked himself in the abyss, Ye Fan shuddered, realizing he might end up like that someday.

"Senior, you also possess the Ancient Sacred Body, and you're cultivating well now, aren't you?"

"I once had the opportunity to be free from curses and not worry about growing golden hair in my old age, but that opportunity cannot be replicated. You will have to find your own way from now on."

Ye Fan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he inexplicably felt a sense of humiliation. After all, everyone else was a Desolate Ancient Holy Body, but only he was to be cursed.

"Why do I suddenly feel so dizzy..."

Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, and then his entire body began to slowly change, shrinking little by little, or rather, rejuvenating.

Yu Yi shook his head, grabbed Ye Fan, and flew with him on a rainbow. When Yu Yi returned to the settlement, he found everyone lying on the ground unconscious.

Aside from Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Dong Yuexi gradually becoming younger, and Lin Jia and Liu Yiyi maintaining their appearance, everyone else is gradually aging.

Lin Jia and Liu Yiyi's situation is likely due to the fact that they only ate one Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir Fruit, while Ye Fan and the others ate more than two.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yu Yi unleashed divine power, sweeping everyone up and carrying them on a rainbow-like flight. Soon after, they flew out of the desolate forbidden land.

Outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Yu Yi found a secluded valley and dropped everyone off. After leaving the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, everyone was no longer old.

Although everyone aged ten or twenty years, at least they didn't suddenly transform from young men and women into old men and women overnight, as depicted in the original story.
