Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Lu Yang watched Luo Heng's retreating figure, his face still filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that the one who came to Yaoguang Stone Workshop to openly challenge them would actually be a disciple of Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Just then, a rather handsome young disciple of Yaoguang quickly walked to Lu Yang's side and said in a low voice, "Master, this kid actually dared to cause trouble at our Yaoguang Stone Workshop and even won so many immortal treasures and divine sources. However, I just noticed his cultivation level; he should only be at the Divine Bridge Realm, otherwise..."

As he finished speaking, the Yao Guang disciple made a downward slicing motion, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang looked at the Yao Guang disciple with a shocked expression and slowly asked, "What's your name?"

Upon hearing Lu Yang ask his name, the Yao Guang disciple's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed respectfully, replying, "Reporting to the Master, this disciple's name is Ye Liangchen."

"Ye Liangchen, hmm, very good." Lu Yang nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious, and then said, "Then I will explain it to you in detail."

Putting aside the fact that this kid is accompanied by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, even I am no match for his protector.

And even if we did something to him, could we keep what we got for ourselves? There are countless spies from within the sect hiding in this stone archway, and in the end, they'll all have to hand it over to the sect.

So what's the point of us doing all this? So don't say such stupid things again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen's face immediately showed a look of fear, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Master, I didn't think it through, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Lu Yang smiled and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, it's good that you know you were wrong. Well then, from now on you'll be in charge of guarding the stone archway gate! You won't be needed at the Heavenly Stone Garden."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen truly showed a look of fear, staring at Lu Yang in shock, and stammered, "Master, I..."

Lu Yang interrupted him directly, saying seriously, "I can tolerate my subordinates being stupid, but I absolutely cannot tolerate them being dumb. You are far too dumb, so from now on you'd better stay obediently at the main gate."

After saying that, Lu Yang ignored the Yao Guang disciple and turned to walk straight into the depths of the stone workshop.

……

Luo Heng strolled along the streets of the divine city for a while, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned and walked in another direction.

Seeing this, the others followed behind him. No one expected that he would actually walk into the Ji family's stone archway.

The Ji family had already received the news, and upon seeing his arrival, their faces instantly turned somewhat ugly, turning a faint bluish-green.

Fortunately, Luo Heng spoke first, saying that he had no conflict with the Ji family, and that he had just come in to take a look around, and at most picked out a stone to play with.

Only after this did the Ji family members' expressions soften slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he went straight into the Ji family's Tianzi No. 1 stone workshop located on a small island in the lake and took a fancy to a stone called "Fairy Sound Stone".

He then directly stated that the stone contained a "Fairy Linglong".

As the stone was cut open, a melodious "ding-dong..." sound rang out, dazzling light filled the center of the arena, captivating everyone's hearts, as if some kind of bewitching power was drawing them in.

When everyone saw it clearly, it was a crystal-clear white jade sphere. It was hollowed out and had nine different colors, making it exceptionally beautiful and dazzling, like the most precious treasure in the world.

At this moment, a younger person asked what "Xian Linglong" was. An older person immediately answered.

"It is said that if the Immortal Linglong is nourished by immortal energy, it can be inscribed with a part of the Dao imprint. It is an immortal book created by heaven and earth."

At this point, the old man shook his head and said, "Whether immortals exist in this world is unknown. How could one possibly find immortal energy to nourish it? In the end, it's just a treasure among musical instruments, and has nothing to do with cultivation."

After hearing the old man's explanation, everyone felt regretful and surprised, not understanding why Luo Heng would choose such a stone, since he clearly knew what was inside.

Luo Heng made no attempt to explain to the crowd. He also kept his promise, cutting the stone and leaving the Ji family's stone workshop immediately.

Afterwards, Luo Heng went to Dao Yi Stone Workshop to cut the humanoid immortality elixir.

Although the original work did not specify which Originium contained the humanoid elixir of immortality, it did provide some relatively specific information, making it not difficult to find.

The top-grade stone garden has stones that are taller than a person, but they are cheap, costing only 3,000 jin.

When Luo Heng once again showed off by cutting out a humanoid elixir of immortality, the scene erupted into chaos, almost breaking into a full-blown battle.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Luo Heng felt somewhat helpless.

Originally, he only planned to mess with Yaoguang Stone Workshop this time, but then he thought that if he did it this way, what if there was a butterfly effect and he lost the few things he wanted? He would have nowhere to cry then, so he might as well go all the way and cut them all off.

As for the remaining items, they are either things he can't handle right now, or things he doesn't like, so it doesn't matter.

As soon as the group returned to the Jade Pool Stone Pavilion, the Jade Pool Saintess, whose body was still faintly glowing, suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Luo, may I have a word with you in private?"

Luo Heng stopped and squinted at the ground beneath her feet, which was shining brightly, still finding the light dazzling.

"I hate drivers who use high beams more than anything else in my life."

He mentally scoffed, but outwardly nodded in agreement.

After everyone else had left, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you know why I suddenly felt such a dazzling divine light just now?"

This time, Luo Heng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I can probably guess. The Holy Maiden is afraid that I've practiced a spell similar to the Origin Heaven Divine Eye that allows me to see through things, right?"

He smiled and said, "But you can rest assured, Holy Maiden. As I said, I am the future Source Master, but I am not yet."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Why is Fellow Daoist Luo so knowledgeable about the treasures within the source stones today...?"

She paused, realizing she had asked a bit rashly, and added, "If this matter involves your secrets, you may choose not to speak of it."

"It's not inconvenient at all," Luo Heng said naturally. "It was all told to me by a senior named Chen Dong."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi glanced at Luo Heng's composed expression and didn't press him further. She simply made a mental note of the name "Chen Dong," thinking she would inquire about this senior in the future.

……

The next morning, Luo Heng and Wei Yi easily evaded the people secretly watching them.

They then leisurely flew towards the agreed-upon place. It took them over an hour to reach a desolate spot.

The soil here has an eerie reddish-brown color, and the ground vegetation is sparse, with only a few shrubs swaying forlornly in the wind.

The two found a flat spot and landed slowly. As soon as they landed, Luo Heng heard Wei Yi's telepathic message, informing him that two people were hiding in mid-air diagonally in front of him.

Luo Heng's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Come out, Holy Son of Yao Guang, we have found you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared in the void diagonally in front of Luo Heng.

This person was exceptionally handsome, with an extraordinary and refined demeanor. He was surrounded by divine light, which was intense and dazzling, like a blazing sun, giving people a warm feeling and displaying the elegance of an immortal descending to earth.

Behind him, one hundred and eight divine halos swirled gently, adding to his mystery and majesty.

However, before the Holy Son of Yao Guang could speak, Luo Heng was startled and said, "You really are here! I was just trying to trick you, and you actually came out."

The newly appeared Holy Son of Yao Guang had a flash of anger on his face. The words he had prepared were instantly choked back, stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
