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

"It seems we have no choice but to go to the Great Jin. The Small Extreme Palace on Beiming Island should have the Cold Marrow, and the Fire Hell, one of the seven forbidden areas of the Great Jin, has the Solar Essence Fire..."

Half a month later, even two drops of the Heavenly Creation Dew failed to revive the Mysterious Heavenly Vine, so Yu Yi gave up hope. It seemed that he had to use the Rejuvenating Water.

But it makes sense when you think about it. If the Dew of Creation could revive the Mysterious Heavenly Vine, Han Li wouldn't have wasted the incredibly precious Rejuvenating Water in the original story.

The distance between Tiannan and Dajin is extremely far. Even with Yu Yi's flying speed, it took him nearly half a year to reach Dajin territory.

Yu Yi planned to go to Xiaoji Palace first. Xiaoji Palace was very famous in Dajin. Yu Yi only inquired a little and found out the location of Beiming Island.

The Little Extreme Palace is very powerful, possessing two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, twenty or thirty mid-stage and early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and replicas of spiritual treasures.

Beiming Island is located in the far north of the Great Jin Dynasty. It is actually a peninsula that is close to the inland area of ​​the Great Jin Dynasty. The island is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has direct access to the inland area on one side.

It is said to be surrounded by the sea on three sides, but in reality, it is surrounded by ice on three sides. The weather here is so cold that water freezes instantly, and even low-level cultivators dare not walk outside.

With such a frigid climate, the land is surrounded by glaciers on three sides, with endless icebergs and snowfields, and no one knows exactly how vast it is.

At the northernmost part of Beiming Island lies an enormous ice city, which is the headquarters of Xiaoji Palace, hailed as the number one sect in the North.

In terms of sect strength, Xiaoji Palace is no weaker than the top ten righteous and demonic sects of the Great Jin Dynasty, but because Beiming Island is too remote, it is not recognized by the cultivation world of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty regarded Beiming Island as a barbaric land and Xiaoji Palace as an overseas sect, which is why they were excluded from the ranking of the major sects of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, in the northern region of the Great Jin Dynasty, the reputation of Xiaoji Palace is no less than that of Taiyi Sect and Tianmo Sect, making it the undisputed number one sect in the north.

Among the several prefectures and counties in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, Xiaoji Palace is also known as Beixian Palace. Countless rogue cultivators and low-level cultivators want to join the palace.

"As expected of the number one sect in the North..."

Looking at the ice city built against the mountain in front of him, Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh. From a distance, it looked sparkling and reflected colorful light under the sun.

In addition, the city is surrounded by a faint white mist, making the entire ice city look like a celestial palace in the sky, not like a building in the human world.

However, Yu Yi's gaze quickly fell on the giant mountain behind the Ice City. This mountain soared into the clouds, reaching a height of ten thousand feet, with its upper half hidden in the clouds.

Yu Yi could vaguely see a cluster of colorful buildings on the summit of the giant mountain, which should be the Little Extreme Palace.

Yu Yi flew to the mountain peak on a rainbow, but as soon as he got close, he triggered various invisible restrictions hidden in the shadows, and countless attacks bombarded Yu Yi.

"Boom!"

Yu Yi activated the Chaos Seed Azure Lotus phenomenon, creating an absolute domain within a ten-foot radius around him, which weakened the power of all attacks by more than ninety percent.

Before the attacks could land on Yu Yi, he raised his right hand, and a burst of purple-gold divine light erupted, shattering all the attacks with a single punch!

As Yu Yi tore open the restriction with his bare hands and stepped into the Xiaoji Palace, more than ten streaks of light flew from afar and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. They were all Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiaoji Palace.

The leaders were a man and a woman, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the Palace Master and the Grand Elder, Han Li Shangren, of the Xiaoji Palace.

"I was unaware of your arrival, sir. May I ask your esteemed name and the purpose of your visit?"

Upon sensing Yu Yi's unfathomable aura, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Little Extreme Palace immediately changed their expressions and became respectful.

"I've heard that your Little Extreme Palace possesses Cold Marrow. This item would be useful to me, so I shouldn't need to lift a finger, right?"

As Yu Yi spoke, his gaze fell upon Master Hanli, because in the original story, Han Li had killed Master Hanli and then searched his body for the Cold Marrow.

"Senior, this is the Cold Marrow you need. Our Little Extreme Palace doesn't have much of this; we only have this small bottle. Please accept it..."

Stared at by Yu Yi, Master Hanli felt a chill rise up his spine and quickly took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag, presenting it with both hands.

Yu Yi took the jade bottle, which was a slender jade bottle seven inches tall, with a bright green color and exquisite craftsmanship.

Yu Yi gently shook the bottle, and the faint sound of liquid flowing could be heard inside. When he opened the cap, a cold light shot out from the bottle.

At the same time, the temperature in the vicinity suddenly dropped, and even with Yu Yi's physique, he couldn't help but shiver when enveloped by this cold light.

Wherever the cold light passed, thick ice condensed. Yu Yi's body was surrounded by purple-gold divine flames that soared into the sky, formed from his blood and qi, which neutralized the terrifying cold.

Yu Yi looked into the jade bottle, where some silver liquid was flowing inside. It was exactly the same as described in the novel; it was indeed the Cold Marrow!

The uses of Cold Marrow are extremely wide-ranging, including alchemy and weapon crafting. This type of Cold Marrow can only be cultivated in ten-thousand-year-old Mysterious Jade and is extremely rare in the human world.

For human cultivators, although cold marrow is precious, it is mostly used as a top-tier auxiliary material for refining magical artifacts or pills.

However, for the demon race, it is a treasure they would risk their lives for, because the Frost Marrow is an excellent life-saving item for demons undergoing the tribulation of transformation.

The small bottle of Cold Marrow in Yu Yi's hand could create at least ten transformed demonic beasts, equivalent to more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators, which shows how precious it was.

"It is indeed Cold Marrow! Please accept these high-grade spirit stones; consider it my purchase of this bottle of Cold Marrow..."

Yu Yi took out a pile of high-grade spirit stones, which he had replicated using the Yin-Yang Mirror. A single point of source energy could replicate a thousand catties, and this pile of spirit stones contained at least hundreds of thousands of pieces.

Spirit stones in the mortal world are roughly divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and top grade, based on the spiritual energy they contain and their purity.

Each higher level contains a hundred times more spiritual energy than the previous level, and the exchange ratio is one to one hundred. Hundreds of thousands of high-level spirit stones are equivalent to billions of low-level spirit stones.

Yu Yi also tried using spirit stones to cultivate, but the effect was far less than that of the source. The so-called level of spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much worse than that of the original essence.

This is normal, though. Although they are all part of the vast world, mortals are obviously not as great as those in the world of "Covering the Sky," and the human realm of mortals is far inferior to the nine heavens and ten earths of "Covering the Sky."

After leaving Xiaoji Palace, Yu Yi headed straight for the Fire Prison, one of the seven forbidden areas in the interior of the Great Jin Dynasty. The Fire Prison is located in the southeast of the Great Jin Dynasty and has existed since ancient times.

Having obtained the Cold Marrow, the next step is the Solar Essence Fire, which is available in the Fire Hell. However, drawing out the Solar Essence Fire will not be so easy.

"This fiery hell is somewhat similar to the fiery domain in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, but its scale is far smaller..."
