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

Half a month later, the once quiet and desolate Zhuofeng became lively again, with hundreds of new disciples.

More than thirty of them were sent up the mountain by some elders themselves. They were all descendants of those elders, and Li Ruoyu couldn't refuse, so he accepted them.

The dilapidated palaces on the mountain were all repaired, and the entire Zhuofeng Peak was transformed.

"Boom!"

Two figures clashed and engaged in a fierce battle in the air. Every swing and collision was accompanied by a whistling sound, as if it could tear the air apart.

One of the figures suddenly flew backward, falling from the sky, crashing into countless trees before slamming into the ground and creating a deep, human-shaped crater.

"That's enough for today!"

Yu Yi climbed out of the deep pit. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he was actually not seriously injured.

For the past two weeks, he and Ye Fan have been practicing the All-Encompassing Secret Technique together, suppressing his cultivation level to spar with Ye Fan.

However, triggering the "All" secret is entirely a matter of luck; even the caster doesn't know when it will trigger.

Sometimes they'll suddenly strike you, catching you completely off guard, and Yu Yi often ends up looking disheveled.

"Senior, this 'All Words Secret' is too difficult to trigger. I can only trigger it once out of ten attempts..."

Ye Fan fell from the sky, his clothes tattered and torn, his elbows exposed, looking even more disheveled than Yu Yi.

"I'm about the same as you! On average, it triggers about once every ten uses."

"However, during this time sparring with you, my Six Paths Reincarnation Fist has improved considerably..."

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

Yu Yi has been consistently practicing the single-realm cultivation method, but it takes a long time to master and is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

As for the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, this extremely powerful, rigid, and yang-oriented fist technique, Yu Yi could only barely grasp the basics.

"Isn't that your ex-girlfriend, Li Xiaoman?"

On their way back to Zhuofeng, the two saw a familiar figure – Li Xiaoman.

Li Xiaoman was dressed in white, with cascading black hair, a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and an ethereal气质.

Just like in the original story, she joined the Tai Xuan Sect's Star Peak and is now a cultivator at the Life Spring Realm.

She and several disciples of Xingfeng were walking in this direction from not far away when they met.

"Li Xiaoman, I never expected to meet you in Taixuan. It's been years since we last met. How have you been?"

Ye Fan had long since let go of his past relationship, so he smiled and greeted Li Xiaoman naturally, as if he were meeting an old friend.

"Still the same old story, nothing special! But you, I heard you joined Zhuofeng, congratulations..."

Now that the Zhuofeng lineage has reappeared, its resurgence is a foregone conclusion. Countless disciples of the Taixuan Sect want to join Zhuofeng but are turned away.

The two chatted for a few minutes, then said goodbye, without any conflict as depicted in the original story.

Watching Li Xiaoman's departing figure, Yu Yi seemed to be deep in thought. Just now, he had sensed a strange fluctuation from Li Xiaoman.

"Senior, you've been staring at Li Xiaoman so intently, could it be that you've fallen for her?"

Seeing Yu Yi staring blankly at Li Xiaoman's back, Ye Fan clearly misunderstood and thought that Yu Yi had taken a liking to Li Xiaoman, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Remember the Crocodile Ancestor on Mars? If I'm not mistaken, she was parasitized by the Crocodile Ancestor."

Yu Yi naturally realized that Ye Fan had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain and simply told him his guess.

"What? She's been parasitized by the Crocodile Ancestor? Senior, are you sure you didn't misread that? Do you have a way to save her?"

"I'm just a cultivator in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, what can I possibly do? But Elder Li Ruoyu definitely has a way!"

Yu Yi was clearly asking Ye Fan to ask Li Ruoyu for help. It was just the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo, not the Crocodile Ancestor himself, so Li Ruoyu would definitely be able to handle it.

"Then I'll go find Elder Li now..."

Upon meeting Li Ruoyu, Ye Fan truthfully reported to Li Ruoyu about Li Xiaoman being parasitized by the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo, and begged Li Ruoyu to save Li Xiaoman's life.

"Since you just met at the foot of Zhuofeng Mountain, she shouldn't have gone far..."

With a wave of his sleeve, Li Ruoyu led the two of them in a divine rainbow as they flew out of Zhuofeng Peak. They quickly caught up with the group of Xingfeng disciples, among whom Li Xiaoman was.

Li Xiaoman felt a little panicked. She felt like she was locked in place and could hardly move.

"This little girl has indeed been parasitized, but fortunately it hasn't been long and she hasn't been possessed yet. If it had been a few years later, it would have been too late..."

Crocodile Ancestor was an ancient great demon, a saint-level existence with extremely terrifying strength, but what parasitized Li Xiaoman's body was, after all, just a divine fetus.

Limited by Li Xiaoman's strength, she was naturally not much stronger, and was suppressed without any power to fight back in front of a powerful figure like Li Ruoyu.

However, Li Ruoyu was very careful. An ancient demon like Crocodile Ancestor might have some strange tricks up its sleeve, and he didn't want to be caught off guard.

Li Ruoyu stepped forward and began to extract Li Xiaoman's soul. A moment later, a small, unconscious golden figure flew out of Li Xiaoman's body.

The golden figure had the same face as Li Xiaoman, except that a ferocious crocodile was wrapped around her body and connected to her aura.

"The divine embryo of an ancient demon god..."

A glint of light flashed in Li Ruoyu's eyes as he cast a spell to remove the crocodile that was wrapped around Li Xiaoman's soul.

The divine embryo of the ancient demon god is very useful to Li Ruoyu; he might be able to obtain the secrets of the demon god through it.

"She's alright now, but her soul is connected to the divine embryo. I separated the divine embryo, which caused her considerable harm, and she needs to recuperate for a while..."

Li Xiaoman had been parasitized by the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo for so long, it was impossible for her to be unaffected. However, it was already a stroke of luck that she was able to survive.

"Thank you for your help, Elder..."

Hearing from Li Ruoyu that Li Xiaoman was alright, just weak for a while, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was alright, everything else was fine.

Li Ruoyu returned Li Xiaoman's soul to her body and then turned to leave, intending to go back and study the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo.

Ye Fan entrusted Li Xiaoman to a female disciple of Xingfeng for care and returned to Zhuofeng with Yu Yi.

"Ye Fan, come here for a moment..."

However, as soon as they returned to Zhuofeng, Dong Yuexi called Ye Fan over. It was clear that she already knew about Ye Fan's request for Li Ruoyu to save Li Xiaoman.

It wasn't that she was against saving Li Xiaoman; they were both from Earth, and she couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

But Ye Fan's concern for Li Xiaoman made her wonder if the two still had feelings for each other.

"Senior..."

Ye Fan looked to Yu Yi for help, but Yu Yi shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help. Yu Yi naturally wouldn't interfere in Ye Fan and his wife's affairs.
