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

Chapter 134 The Immortal Taoist

"To rebuild a single secret realm to its peak is already an astonishing achievement, but this Great Completion Saint Body has actually rebuilt all five secret realms!"

"No wonder the Great Perfection Holy Body possesses unparalleled combat power, capable of rivaling ancient emperors at its peak!"

Thinking of the vast and boundless golden sea of ​​suffering of the Great Perfection Holy Body, and its unparalleled and majestic divine power, Ye Fan was deeply shocked. The gap was simply too great.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The golden divine power of the Great Accomplished Holy Body receded, its eyes turned emerald green, and the corpse hair all over its body grew wildly.

"Young Holy One—take me away!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body suddenly spoke, his voice powerful and resonant, like metal rubbing against stone. His eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Ye Fan.

"The Immortal Taoist!"

The two men's expressions changed slightly. They exchanged a glance and immediately retreated to the bottom of the Investiture of the Gods. They had both read the novel and naturally knew that the Immortal Taoist was behind it all.

"You actually knew me?"

Seeing that he could not fool the two, the Immortal Taoist let out a cold snort, and the hair on his body grew even thicker, almost engulfing him, and that strange power became even stronger.

The Undying Daoist revealed his murderous intent, manipulating the Great Accomplished Holy Body's corpse to move forward step by step, and then suddenly stretched out a large hand to grab Yu Yi and Ye Fan.

"Boom!"

The two remained calm and showed no concern. The moment the Immortal Taoist made his move, the Investiture of the Gods shone brightly with golden light, unleashing a world-destroying aura.

Endless golden light condensed into a giant golden hand, which descended from the sky, forcing the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body to resist with all its might!

The Great Emperor Wushi created the Investiture of the Gods list, originally intended to seal away immortals; it was initially named the Investiture of Immortals list.

However, there were no immortals in the world, but there were ancient creatures that resembled gods, so the name was changed to Investiture of the Gods.

The power of the Investiture of the Gods is equivalent to the Great Emperor Wushi pressing down on this place. How could a mere Immortal Daoist manipulating a corpse resist it?

If it weren't for Emperor Wushi thinking that keeping the Undying Daoist alive might be useful in the future, killing the Undying Daoist wouldn't have been difficult for Emperor Wushi, given his strength.

"Ah—the beginningless!"

With a roar, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, covered in corpse hair, caused many distant mountain ranges to collapse, and even the black mountains cracked in many places.

The golden hand that emerged from the Investiture of the Gods descended with unstoppable force, covering the entire Sacred Cliff and instantly repelling the corpse of the Great Perfection Sacred Body.

The Undying Daoist, manipulating the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, resisted fiercely, raising his hand to strike the heavens. Golden divine power erupted, its momentum immense, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Boom!"

A giant golden hand pressed down, causing the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body to stagger backward and fall into the ancient coffin. Then, with a loud bang, the coffin lid was sealed shut.

The power of the Investiture of the Gods was absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary supreme imperial weapon. It easily suppressed the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body by only unleashing a portion of its power.

With the remains of the Great Accomplished Holy Body sealed away once more, the Sacred Cliff returned to peace, the golden hand that had appeared from the Investiture of the Gods disappeared, and everything returned to tranquility.

"We've got the 'Travel Secret' in hand. This place is no place to linger; let's leave quickly!"

Yu Yi glanced at the Investiture of the Gods with reluctance, but it was a pity that the Investiture of the Gods was used to suppress the remains of the Immortal Taoist and the Great Accomplished Holy Body, otherwise he really wanted to take the Investiture of the Gods with him.

Given his innate sacred body and Dao embryo, as well as his status as the successor of the Great Emperor Wushi, it is highly likely that the gods on the Investiture of the Gods would not refuse to follow him.

The two did not linger and headed down the mountain, preparing to leave this sacred cliff, which was by no means a good place, and staying there for too long might bring disaster.

"There's a pond ahead, probably the legendary Lake of Reincarnation. It's said that by passing through the Lake of Reincarnation, one can see through their past and future—"

Instead of returning the way they came, the two chose another shortcut. Unexpectedly, they encountered the Lake of Reincarnation, which appeared in the original story, halfway there.

"Legend has it that only the Great Emperor can view the Lake of Reincarnation. By viewing one's past and future through the Lake of Reincarnation, one may influence the state of the present world."

"It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble; let's leave as soon as possible!"

The two left decisively without hesitation, but they hadn't gone far when they stopped. A person appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

This person was wearing an ancient Taoist robe, quite different from what is seen today; it was clothing from at least tens of thousands of years ago, full of the marks of time.

His purple-gold crown was dull and almost rotten, and his Taoist robe was about to turn to dust. He was slowly walking towards the two of them.

"Two benefactors, if you are willing to lend me a hand and help me escape this predicament, I am willing to give you two of the most unparalleled secret techniques from the Nine Secrets."

The newcomer was none other than the Immortal Daoist. His true form had been suppressed beneath the Sacred Cliff by the Great Emperor Wushi, and the Daoist before him was merely a manifestation of a wisp of his divine consciousness.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the Immortal Daoist's physical body has long since decayed. No one can defy the passage of time, but his primordial spirit has survived to this day, sealed within the divine source.

"The emergence of any one of the Nine Secrets will drive the world mad. I can pass on the two secret techniques I possess to you without reservation—"

"No need! Although I believe you possess two of the Nine Secret Techniques, I don't trust your character—"

As an avatar of the Immortal Emperor, even if the Immortal Daoist claimed to have mastered all nine secrets, Yu Yi would not doubt it, but he dared not seek revenge against such a powerful figure.

Given the Immortal Daoist's personality, they'd probably turn on him as soon as they released him.

"Don't you believe me?"

Seeing that Yu Yi and Ye Fan were not fooled, the Immortal Daoist stopped pretending and his expression turned cold.

A divine light shot from his eyes, creating a world in the void that pressed down on the two of them.

"You brat, you've gone too far!"

Suddenly, the Investiture of the Gods on the mountaintop shone brightly, sending out a burst of golden light that struck the Immortal Taoist, causing him to stumble and fall on the spot.

The golden light in the sky did not dissipate; instead, it transformed into a giant golden hand that pressed down, directly suppressing and killing the Undying Daoist and obliterating that wisp of divine thought.

Knowing that the Immortal Daoist's mere presence would trigger the Investiture of the Gods and cause no real trouble, the two dared to confront him directly.

"Hurry up!"

The two dared not linger and continued down the mountain. They encountered no further obstacles and everything went smoothly. Two hours later, they finally left the sacred cliff.

They both breathed a sigh of relief when they safely walked out of the Sacred Cliff. The journey had been fraught with danger, but fortunately, they had finally managed to obtain the Secret of Travel.

After leaving the Sacred Cliff, the two did not return to the human world, but instead temporarily went into seclusion in a primeval mountain range millions of miles away.

Although the two had memorized the Dao Diagram of the Character "Xing", they still needed to spend a lot of energy and time to comprehend the diagram or even master the Dao Diagram of the Character "Xing".
