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

"Are you stupid? We still have Xiong Ba, right? Just have him ask that Master Li, isn't that enough?"

"Yes!"

Fan Xian slapped his thigh, realizing he hadn't thought of that. He left an afterimage behind and chased after Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba, who hadn't even had time to go into seclusion, was dumbfounded when he learned of Fan Xian's purpose.

Not long ago, Master Li sent him a message, but he didn't reply, which means he offended Master Li.

Now Fan Xian is asking him to go find Master Li and inquire about the whereabouts of the magical artifact Meng Bo. Master Li is definitely in a bad mood right now and may not be willing to talk to him.

Xiong Ba explained the situation to Fan Xian, but under Fan Xian's insistence, Xiong Ba had no choice but to open the chat group and send a message to Li Daxian.

"Didn't you stop replying to my messages? Didn't expect that, did you! You've come to me for a favor so quickly..."

Upon receiving the message, Li Daxian couldn't help but sneer. He initially intended to ignore it, but then he thought about the future election of the group leader, and realized that Xiong Ba still needed to be won over.

[The Calculating Master Li: The divine artifact, Mengbo, is forged from divine stone. It is a super weapon that can transform into various weapons according to its master's will.]

[Master Li, the Unfathomable Strategist: Simply put, it's like an energy amplifier, amplifying one unit of power tenfold or even more.]

[The Calculating Master Li: As for the whereabouts of the divine artifact Mengbo, in the novel *The Search for the Gods*, Mengbo was initially in the hands of Bu Jingyun.]

[The Calculating Master Li: However, according to the plot, the divine stone hasn't been forged into a bowl yet. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be under Leifeng Pagoda now...]

[Xiong Ba: Thank you for your guidance, Great Immortal. This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you will accept it...]

As usual, Xiong Ba sent Li Daxian a special red envelope. Consulting Li Daxian was openly priced, with each question costing 1,000 points.

Of course, if you don't have enough group points, you can use other treasures to pay the debt; Master Li will accept any offer.

"Master Li said that the divine stone should not have been forged into a weapon yet, and should currently be under Leifeng Pagoda..."

Hearing from Master Li that the magical artifact Mengbo could unleash ten times or even more power from one time, Xiong Ba was naturally tempted.

He considered deceiving Fan Xian by secretly obtaining the divine stone and forging it into a weapon, but considering Yu Yi's terrifying strength, he decided to tell the truth after much deliberation.

"Thank you, Chief Xiong. I won't disturb your seclusion any longer. I wish you a speedy success in refining the Phoenix Blood..."

Fan Xian left satisfied, and then told Yu Yi about the divine stone in Leifeng Pagoda. The two left the World Society and headed straight for the nearest Xia Wang Mansion.

"Found it!"

Upon arriving at the Hero King's Mansion, the two hovered in the void, releasing their divine senses, and quickly located Bingpo's whereabouts.

Inside the King of Heroes' Mansion, there is a secret underground chamber containing an ice coffin. Inside the coffin lies a corpse, and the Ice Soul resides in the corpse's mouth.

The corpse is the King of Heroes, who became famous three hundred years ago. He was a man of great courage and skill, and spent his days doing good deeds and helping others.

In addition, he often helped the poor and needy, which is why he was praised as the King of Heroes by people in the martial arts world.

After the death of the Hero King, his descendants found the Ice Soul to preserve his body.

Although three hundred years have passed, thanks to the Ice Soul, the appearance of the Hero King remains lifelike, lying in the ice coffin as if he were asleep.

"Snap!"

Upon entering the secret chamber, Fan Xian slammed his palm onto the lid of the ice coffin, shattering the entire coffin instantly.

Another palm strike landed on the corpse's chest, and the corpse opened its mouth, spitting out a piece of silver ice.

Fan Xian caught the ice block, squeezed it hard, and the ice block shattered, revealing a silver stone.

"Brother Yu, the people at the Hero King's Mansion are really interesting. They're using such a strange stone to freeze corpses..."

Fan Xian shook his head slightly. Of the four strange stones left behind by Nuwa, only the Ice Soul Pearl was covered in dust. Using it to freeze a corpse would be a waste of its potential.

"Who dares to trespass into the Prince of Heroes' residence...?"

The two sensed with their divine senses that many people were rushing towards the secret chamber. It must have been because the commotion they caused when they broke into the secret chamber was too great, which alerted the people of the Hero King's Mansion.

"Now that we've obtained the Ice Soul, there's no need to waste time getting entangled with the people from the Hero King's Mansion..."

After leaving the King of Heroes' Mansion, the two rode a rainbow to Lingyun Cave in search of the Snow Drinking Blade forged from white dew.

Upon arriving at Lingyun Cave, the first thing that catches the eye is the majestic Buddha statue standing in front of the cave.

The Buddha's head is level with the mountain, its feet stand on the river, and its hands rest on its knees. The Buddha has a well-proportioned figure and a solemn expression. It was carved into the mountain and is estimated to be at least twenty feet tall.

On the cliffs along the river to the left and right of the Buddha, there are two guardian deities, each nearly five zhang tall, forming a pattern of one Buddha and two guardian deities together with the Buddha.

Looking at the giant Buddha in front of them, the two felt both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar because the Buddha was exactly the same as in the TV series, but unfamiliar because it was the first time they had seen it in person.

"Brother Yu, we've found the entrance to Lingyun Cave!"

Not far from the Buddha, there was a dark cave entrance, and the two stepped into it without hesitation.

Inside Lingyun Cave, the passageways are interconnected, like a huge maze. If someone has a poor sense of direction, it will be difficult to find their way out once they go deep inside.

Fortunately, both Yu Yi and Fan Xian are cultivators, possessing divine sense that martial artists lack. With their divine sense projected outwards, there is no question of getting lost.

"Brother Yu, the blood of the Fire Qilin, while it doesn't grant immortality, is still a good choice for a mount. Riding it around will definitely make you look impressive..."

"I don't need it. If you want one, I can catch one for you, but you'll have to figure out how to tame it yourself..."

The two moved quickly through the passage, and as they went deeper, the temperature inside rose higher and higher.

The two also discovered many skeletons, which were likely warriors who had died tragically under the claws of the Fire Qilin over the years.

"Brother Yu, I've found something..."

Fan Xian picked up a long sword from the ground. The sword was red and the hilt was inlaid with a scale.

"This should be the Fire Kirin Sword. Since the Fire Kirin Sword is here, the Snow Drinking Blade is probably nearby..."

The Fire Kirin Sword is hailed as an evil god among swords, possessing terrifying demonic power that can cause its wielder to be filled with demonic thoughts, and may even eventually lead to the sword controlling one's mind.

"This sword is a bit strange..."

Fan Xian frowned slightly. The moment he grasped the Fire Kirin Sword, a strange sense of irritability arose within him, along with an urge to kill.

At the same time, he felt a surge of heroic spirit, as if he were invincible with a sword in hand.

"Your state of mind is too poor. You are a cultivator at the Life Spring Realm, yet you are affected by a mere Fire Scale Sword."

Yu Yi shook his head, took the Fire Kirin Sword from Fan Xian's hand. The Fire Kirin Sword trembled slightly and emitted a sword cry, trying to influence Yu Yi's mind.

However, Yu Yi was not affected in the slightest. Instead, he suppressed the Fire Kirin Sword, which immediately became obedient and dared not cause any more trouble.

"This Fire Kirin Sword is useless to me. You can decide what to do with it! If you don't want it, just throw it away..."

"Then I won't be polite. I'll take it and sell it to other members of the chat group to get some points..."

Fan Xian didn't even think much of the Fire Kirin Sword, but in the world of martial arts, the Fire Kirin Sword would definitely be considered a divine weapon and would surely fetch a good price in the group.
