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

"Senior Jiang..."

The two waited for a long time, but Jiang Taixu did not wake up. It seemed that he was truly exhausted and on his deathbed.

"Senior, it seems Senior Jiang won't be able to hold on much longer. Do you have any way to rescue him?"

"I have no choice. Let's explore Purple Mountain first, and then figure out a way to rescue him after we get out..."

The two bowed silently to the rock wall and began to walk deeper into the Purple Mountain. They walked for more than two or three miles before reaching the deepest part of the cave.

A glimmer of light appeared ahead, and a sacred aura rushed towards them. A huge source, more than two meters high, sealed a person inside.

She was an absolutely beautiful woman, flawless and pure, with her eyes closed and motionless, like Sleeping Beauty, utterly serene.

"Could this be the corpse of Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who entered Purple Mountain ten thousand years ago?"

The two searched the ancient mine carefully, hoping to find some clues. Soon they found some writing on the mine wall: Zhang Jiye pays homage.

"A thousand years ago, the Zhang family's ancestor did indeed come here, and the Origin Book must be inside..."

Ye Fan couldn't help but show his joy. He had risked his life to enter Purple Mountain in order to find the Origin Book.

After traveling another mile or so, a blue light shield suddenly rose around the two of them.

This is the Chaos Lotus phenomenon sensing the danger, and actively raising a blue light shield for defense.

"Damn! An ancient creature..."

The two sensed something behind them and turned around abruptly. Dozens of meters away, a colossal creature was staring coldly at them from the mine wall.

The ancient creature had the lower body of a snake, as thick as a water vat and tens of meters long, while its upper body resembled a human, with long arms and covered in black hair.

"Boom!"

The ancient creature burst out of the mine wall, its hands like pincers clamping down on the two men's throats with astonishing force, as if a mountain were crushing down on them.

Ye Fan unleashed the golden pages of the Dao Scripture and slashed at the ancient creature. Sparks flew everywhere, and the golden pages, which had always been invincible, could not break through its defenses.

To make matters worse, roars echoed from afar, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, and ancient creatures burst through the walls and charged towards the two.

"Let me do it!"

Yu Yi remained calm and unhurried, summoning the Yin-Yang Mirror and shining it on the ancient creatures. The ancient creatures aged instantly and turned into a pile of ashes.

The main problem is that those ancient creatures don't live long to begin with. Once they break free of their seal, they will quickly decay, and the Yin-Yang Mirror is perfect for restraining them.

"Senior, your Yin-Yang Mirror is incredibly powerful; it's much better than my Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron."

"The Yin-Yang Mirror isn't as powerful as you think; it just happens to be a natural counter to these ancient creatures..."

The Yin-Yang Mirror has two sides, Yin and Yang. The Yang side can imprison the void, while the Yin side can manipulate time and shorten the lifespan of living beings, thus naturally restraining those beings with little lifespan left.

Of course, the Yin-Yang Mirror is not invincible. If someone's strength far exceeds Yu Yi's, the Yin-Yang Mirror will be useless.

"Roar~"

Yu Yi killed a group of ancient creatures, but more ancient creatures broke through the wall and roared continuously, as if they could not be killed indefinitely.

"Thump~"

Fortunately, at this moment, a bell suddenly rang out from the deepest part of Purple Mountain, suppressing all the ancient creatures and instantly calming the entire Purple Mountain down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the two rushed forward and entered a spacious cave, which resembled a grand hall. It was very large, and the sound of bells came from here.

The two looked around and found that it was indeed a spacious hall, but the hall was so vast that it was no different from a square.

The spacious hall was somewhat dimly lit. In the left corner of the hall, there was a solitary skeleton, next to which lay a silver scroll that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

"This person should be Zhang Jiye, and this silver scroll should be the Origin Heaven Scripture..."

Ye Fan strode over. The stone fragments on the ground were made of the same material as the stone armor he was wearing. This person was Zhang Jiye, the ancestor of the Zhang family that he was looking for.

Ye Fan picked up the silver book, which was made of an unknown metal and had more than a hundred pages. It was extremely heavy in his hand and had three ancient characters engraved on it: Yuan Tian Shu (Book of Origin).

"It really is the Book of Origin!"

Ye Fan was thrilled. After going through countless hardships, he had finally found the Source Book. As long as he could become a Source Master, he would never lack sources again.

Ye Fan eagerly opened the Origin Heaven Book, and immediately beams of silver light shot out, dazzling and shimmering like diamonds.

Each ancient character in the book seems to have a life of its own, shining like a star. This silver book is so captivating that you can't put it down at first glance.

The opening statement clearly states that this is not only a sacred book for tracing the origins of things, but also an explanation of the relationship between heaven, earth, and humanity. By tracing the origins, one can approach the Dao, and the ultimate goal is to achieve harmony between heaven and humanity.

"Let me see it."

Yu Yi was also quite curious about the Origin Book. He took the Origin Book from Ye Fan and gently turned the pages. The silver iron paper flowed with an unusual luster.

This book covers a wide range of topics, emphasizing the examination of mountain and river formations, the structure of landforms, and changes in celestial phenomena. It also touches upon the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the interaction between Heaven and Man.

Yu Yi read it for a while and found it difficult to understand. The book was too complicated and involved too many things. It would take a lot of effort to learn it.

Yu Yi has no shortage of resources and doesn't plan to spend a lot of energy studying the Source Book for the time being, but he still memorized all the contents of the Source Book.

"Senior, this Purple Mountain is too dangerous. We've found the Source Book; shouldn't we leave now?"

"You've found the Source Book, but what I'm looking for hasn't been found yet..."

Yu Yi said irritably, and then strode towards the depths of the main hall. Ye Fan could only follow helplessly. Soon the two saw a huge stone book.

The stone book stood on the ground, more than ten meters long and one or two meters thick, like a giant stele, with three large characters engraved on it: Wushi Jing (Scripture of No Beginning).

"Buzzing~"

An object in Ye Fan's arms trembled slightly and emitted a dazzling light; it was a jade pendant.

At the same time, the thick stone book seemed to sense something and also emitted a soft light.

Ye Fan held the jade pendant and walked closer to the stone book, trying to turn it over, but no matter how hard he tried, the stone book did not budge, as if it were heavier than a mountain.

Ye Fan was filled with regret for being unable to obtain the Imperial Scripture despite possessing it. If the Imperial Scripture left by the Great Emperor had been passed down, it could have developed into a sacred land.

"The Great Emperor Wushi's achievements rivaled those of creation itself, shaking the ages. To not witness his methods is a profound regret of my life..."

Ye Fan discovered a few lines of text left by Jiang Taixu. Even a powerful figure like the Eastern Wilderness God King was unable to see the ancient scripture, which made him feel much better.

"To obtain the inheritance, one must either collect all the ancient jades or possess an innate sacred body and Dao embryo..."

Purple-gold divine flames rose around Yu Yi, like a Super Saiyan transformation. Sensing the aura of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, the stone book emitted a dazzling light.

"Senior, what's going on with you? Weren't you the same as me, an Ancient Sacred Body? How did you suddenly become a Primordial Sacred Body Dao Embryo?"

"I used to have the Ancient Sacred Body, but later I awakened the Innate Dao Embryo. After the two special physiques merged, I became the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo..."

"Holy crap! You can do that...?"

Ye Fan felt a pang of jealousy. We all came from Earth, so why are you so much more outstanding?
