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

Yu Yi teleported to the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness through the domain gate and headed straight for Purple Mountain, but he was still a step too late. Ye Fan had already entered Purple Mountain seven days earlier.

There is a small village at the foot of Zishan Mountain. The descendants of Yuan Tianshi live in the village. It was in this village that Ye Fan learned about entering Zishan Mountain.

"Nine dragons guarding a single pearl, gathering the boundless creation of heaven and earth, exploring the ultimate mysteries of change, the methods of an emperor-level powerhouse are truly beyond imagination..."

When Yu Yi arrived outside Zishan, he could see a large purple mountain in the distance, surrounded by nine mountain ridges.

Purple Mountain was bare, with nothing on it. The morning glow shone down, making the entire mountain appear even more majestic.

Outside the Nine Ridges, there is an abandoned ancient mine that leads directly to Zishan Mountain. Because the Nine Ridges that guard Zishan Mountain have long been hollowed out at the bottom.

Yu Yi entered the ancient mine, which was pitch black, so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, and extremely quiet.

Yu Yi dared not use his divine power, but instead moved forward step by step, carefully sensing everything around him.

"What the hell is that?"

However, after traveling a short distance, Yu Yi saw a humanoid corpse lying on the ground ahead, presumably killed by Ye Fan.

The humanoid creature was two meters tall with a wingspan of four meters. Its claws were sharp as knives and gleamed coldly, but they were already broken. It was an ancient creature.

Without delay, Yu Yi continued forward. After going more than ten miles into the distance, he discovered the corpses of hundreds more demonic bats, some of which had been cut in half.

After traveling several dozen miles further, Yu Yi saw many stone carvings on the cave wall, recording the various events of the source excavation in those years. Yu Yi glanced at them a few times and then lost interest.

However, as he walked, Yu Yi felt the soil on the ground suddenly become softer and the temperature was getting lower and lower, as if there were gusts of cold wind blowing on him.

After walking several hundred meters, Yu Yi saw countless skeletons scattered all over the ground, but they had long since decayed and turned to ashes with a light step.

Upon reaching this point, the temperature dropped even further. The ancient mine was already like an ice cellar, with a chilling cold that felt like knives scraping against the skin.

"Boom!"

Yu Yi suddenly heard a noise ahead. When he rushed over, he saw Ye Fan fighting a dragon. The two were locked in a fierce battle.

The so-called earth dragon is actually a lizard covered in scales, with extremely powerful defenses.

"Certainly!"

Yu Yi summoned the Yin-Yang Mirror, pointed it at the earth dragon, and imprisoned it. He then shone it again, and the earth dragon aged and died at a visible speed.

"Senior, what brings you here?"

Ye Fan, dressed in stone armor with the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron floating above his head, walked towards Yu Yi with a look of surprise on his face.

"Of course I've come to find you. I've acquired a treasure that has the ability to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants..."

"Didn't you obtain a Bodhi seed at the Great Thunder Temple on Mars? I'd like to try and see if I can cultivate it into a Bodhi tree."

"Senior, here are the Bodhi seeds you requested. Now, let me see the treasure you mentioned."

Ye Fan took out the Bodhi seed and readily tossed it to Yu Yi, showing his absolute trust in Yu Yi.

"This is the treasure I was talking about, called the Heavenly Palm Bottle. It can absorb the essence of moonlight and condense it into a towering Dew of Creation. A single drop can accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs that have been stored for a hundred years..."

A beam of green light shot out from Yu Yi's sea of ​​suffering; it was the Heavenly Palm Bottle. Although the Heavenly Palm Bottle could not be stored in a storage space, it could be stored in the sea of ​​suffering.

Ye Fan studied it for a while but couldn't figure it out. He just felt that this thing was extraordinary.

"Alright, we can study this later when we have more time! Let's explore Purple Mountain first. Also, this is a letter Yuexi asked me to give you..."

The two traveled together, and as they ventured deeper, they soon reached the end of the ancient mine, where a purple stone wall blocked their path.

"We should have reached the bottom of Purple Mountain. You follow behind me, and I'll lead the way..."

Yu Yi led the way, but a surprising scene unfolded: as if Zishan were alive, the passage they had created behind them was rapidly closing.

"Don't be surprised, this is just how Zishan is..."

Several hours later, with a final loud bang, a jade staircase appeared in front of the two, at the end of which was a magnificent building.

It was clear that the two had entered the interior of Purple Mountain, but they did not make any rash moves until they found that there was no danger, and then they began to climb the steps.

This is a cave dwelling carved out inside Purple Mountain. Passing through the green jade steps and entering the white jade gate, the two entered a palace.

The entire palace was carved from ancient jade, but there was nothing inside. It was deserted and no one had left behind a single word.

After circling the palace, I found nothing unusual, except at the end of the palace I saw a blood-red jade staircase leading to a deep cave.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this palace should just be a gateway; these blood jade steps are probably the real passage into the depths of Purple Mountain..."

"Senior, there seem to be words on the stone wall: God King Jiang Taixu has mistakenly entered Demon Mountain and decided to investigate..."

These simple dozen or so characters, written with powerful strokes, possess a unique charm that makes one feel as if a divine king is standing before them.

"Jiang Taixu, born into the ancient Jiang family, is a direct descendant of Emperor Hengyu, known as the White-Clad God-King, and possesses the bloodline of the Eastern Wilderness God-King..."

"Four thousand years ago, with his extraordinary talent, he swept aside all the geniuses and became famous throughout the world! He was even hailed as the number one attacker in the Northern Region in five thousand years..."

Yu Yi briefly recounted Jiang Taixu's deeds. Not far away, the two saw another line of writing, which read: "Left by the rogue cultivator Li Mu during his exploration of Demon Mountain."

Five steps away, there was another line of delicate handwriting, like a lotus flower in water, refreshing and delightful: "Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, seeking Zhang Lin, left this before entering Demon Mountain."

"It is said that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi disappeared without a trace ten thousand years ago. The Holy Land of Yaochi has been searched throughout the Northern Region for many years without success. Unexpectedly, she has entered Purple Mountain..."

"There's nothing surprising about it. Although Purple Mountain isn't a forbidden zone, it's no less dangerous than one. Countless cultivators have died there..."

The two continued deeper into the mountain, where there were countless irregularly shaped caves, and they nearly got lost several times.

At the same time, the two also discovered many skeletons, all of which shimmered with a jade-like luster, clearly left behind by peerless experts.

Without exception, they all died from the same cause: clear finger holes in their skulls, indicating a fatal blow.

"Senior, this place is far too dangerous. Should we continue exploring?"

"We've already come this far, it's too late to turn back now, let's keep moving forward!"

But just then, a weak voice suddenly rang in their ears, the voice was intermittent, as if it would stop breathing at any moment.
