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

Yu Yi was startled, but quickly guessed that it must be Jiang Taixu, and his expression immediately returned to normal.

"Who is speaking?"

But Ye Fan was different. The sudden sound startled Ye Fan, who was not prepared at all, and he subconsciously turned around and ran away.

"God King... Jiang Taixu."

The voice was weak, barely audible, and intermittent; it was difficult to hear clearly unless one listened carefully.

"You... come here..."

Jiang Taixu's voice was very weak, as if he might die at any moment. The two of them found their way and walked forward for a distance along the winding cave.

"Senior Jiang, where are you?"

Yu Yi tried to communicate telepathically, but after waiting for a long time, the depths of the cave remained silent, with no response.

Half an hour later, Jiang Taixu's voice came again, but it was weaker than before.

"I have been trapped here for four thousand years, and I am long since exhausted... I can no longer always communicate by voice..."

"Senior Jiang, what can we, your juniors, do to rescue you from this predicament?"

"What is your cultivation level?"

"My name is Yu Yi, and I'm at the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. My companion, Ye Fan, is at the fourth level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm..."

A sigh came, seemingly filled with utter despair, and it wasn't until much later that Jiang Taixu transmitted his voice again.

"Your cultivation is too weak... Come here, I will pass on a secret technique to you..."

The two strode forward. The interior of Purple Mountain was not dark. The purple rocks had a hazy glow that made the cave seem like a fairyland.

The ground was uneven and full of potholes. The two followed the winding passage forward and entered another ancient mine from an abandoned cave.

On the rock walls of the ancient mine, numerous stone bones are faintly visible, a startling sight. These are fossils of prehistoric organisms, frozen together with Zishan Mountain.

The two walked for hundreds of feet in the ancient mine and soon came to the end. In front of them was a purple wall, which was very smooth and as shiny as a mirror.

"I'm trapped in the rocks..."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a rough rock wall next to the purple jade wall at the end of the ancient mine. From inside came Jiang Taixu's weak voice.

"Come closer, I will teach you a supreme secret technique... let's see how well you understand it..."

Suddenly, a withered figure emerged from the rock wall, its shadow cast through the rough rock, outlining a clear silhouette.

Jiang Taixu was in very bad condition; his bones were clearly visible, and his flesh was withered, making him look like a skeleton, with his long hair trailing behind his emaciated body.

A very profound incantation entered the ears of the two. It was an extremely terrifying attack method, one of the Nine Secrets, the Fighting Secret.

The "Dou" Secret Technique, also known as the "Battle Saint Technique," can simulate any attack and evolve into various divine techniques of attack and destruction, with endless variations, and is hailed as the number one attack technique.

"Senior, this secret technique called the Battle Saint Technique is perfect for our Ancient Sacred Body."

Ye Fan was overjoyed. The Ancient Sacred Body was already physically powerful, and if they practiced this kind of method, they would become even more terrifying. This secret technique was perfect for them.

"The Battle Saint Technique is the Battle Secret, along with the All Secret we've learned, and the Heavenly Pivot Steps, which is the Movement Secret, all of which are among the Nine Secrets..."

Yu Yi mentioned the Tianxuan Steps as a way to test whether Ye Fan had learned them from the old madman, just like in the original story.

"Is the Tianxuan Footwork a secret technique of the 'Xing' character?"

Ye Fan's face lit up with joy. Judging from his expression, he must have learned the Tianxuan Step from the old madman.

"Here's the Bodhi seed back. Take it and study the secret techniques first. Give it back to me after you've mastered the 'Fighting' secret technique..."

In the days that followed, the two diligently practiced the Battle Saint Technique, and the more they practiced, the more profound they found it to be.

"Have you grasped it?"

Half a month later, Jiang Taixu woke up again, and a weak voice came from the rock wall.

"Senior Jiang, we have made initial progress in mastering the Battle Saint Technique you taught us..."

"Make your move..."

Jiang Taixu clearly wanted to see the results of their training. The two of them held nothing back, their bodies moving in accordance with the wondrous method, and they unleashed the starting stance of the Battle Saint Technique.

That's right! The Battle Saint Technique that Jiang Taixu taught the two was not the complete version, but only the starting stance, obviously to test their comprehension.

As soon as the Battle Saint Technique was unleashed, a powerful fighting spirit involuntarily arose in Yu Yi's heart.

It's all because of this secret technique that it changes a person's temperament, as if a war god has possessed them, and a powerful fighting spirit surges forth all at once.

"You...are all very good..."

On the rough rock face, another withered figure appeared, with ribs skeletal, legs as thin as sticks, and skin and bones; the figure had no flesh or blood.

The shadows moved in a series of poses, so fast they were dazzling, while a complex incantation entered their minds.

Despite the absence of divine power fluctuations, the two still felt a terrifying pressure, an aura of arrogance that claimed they were the only ones worthy of respect.

The Battle Saint Technique was initially extremely complex, with endless variations in offensive techniques. Every inch of the body's flesh and blood was the most powerful weapon.

But in the end, complexity is simplified, and all the changes become simple. All the myriad variations return to one, the great way is simple, and all kinds of attacks are gathered into one technique.

"All changes are merely means; simplifying complexity and ultimately returning to oneness is the true essence!"

Yu Yi used his body to form hand seals, which were ever-changing. At first, he imitated Jiang Taixu, but in the end, he gradually grasped the essence and only evolved the original and wonderful state of unity.

Once you grasp its essence, its form will naturally appear, capable of being transformed into countless forms; once you master the fundamentals, all other postures can be manifested.

Yu Yi was in a strange state at this moment. Ten days had passed, and he had been immersed in it, his body moving as if in a dream.

He formed a hand seal with his body, every inch of his flesh and blood becoming part of the Dao seal, his whole being seemingly transforming into a humanoid weapon, manifesting the formless Dao in a tangible form.

Finally, a thunderous shock shook his heart, and an unchanging figure appeared in his mind, ever-changing, but ultimately returning to one, forming a unique posture!

It was only at this moment that Yu Yi slowly regained consciousness. The Battle Saint Technique was focused solely on attacking and killing, regardless of anything else, and possessed unparalleled offensive power.

It's not that Yu Yi has mastered the Battle Saint Technique; it only means that he understands the essence of this secret technique, knows how to cultivate it, and how to improve.

The personal demonstration of the magic by the God-King was of great help to him, allowing him to see the origin of the secret art, grasp its essence, and firmly imprint the power of unification upon him.

Yu Yi looked at Ye Fan and saw that Ye Fan was still immersed in his enlightenment, so he did not disturb him. He sat cross-legged to the side and waited for Ye Fan to wake up.

Several days later, Ye Fan slowly woke up. Like Yu Yi, he had grasped the essence of the Battle Saint Technique.
