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

At this moment, Wei Yi and Gai Jiuyou looked extremely solemn, their eyes shining with a dazzling light, as bright as golden lamps.

The divine light shone on the little girl, instantly distorting the void as if it were about to collapse.

"Big brother, I'm scared..." the little girl said, her voice trembling with tears.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, they won't hurt you..." Luo Heng said with a smile, but his eyes glanced at the Devouring Demon Jar and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron that had just been placed on the coffee table.

Seeing the two objects so close at hand, Luo Heng felt somewhat relieved.

After a moment, the strange phenomena around the two disappeared, but they still frowned slightly and looked at the little girl with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Luo Heng said, "Seniors, you must have noticed something. Let me introduce her to you. Her name is Xiao Nannan, and she is... the Dao Fruit of the master of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

Upon hearing Luo Heng's words, Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi looked at the little girl with more respect, a respect for someone who had gone further on the path to immortality.

Seeing that the two seemed to have no intention of making a move, Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a small, seven-colored stone and handed it to Gai Jiuyou: "Senior Gai Jiuyou, it seems that Xiao Nannan has been injured. Every now and then she will lose her memory and forget everything from the past. At the same time, a small, seven-colored stone like this will appear beside her."

The younger generation wishes to ask the senior for help in curing this ailment in the little girl.

Gai Jiuyou nodded slowly after hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, his blue robes fluttered as if billowing in a gale, his white hair stood on end, his eyes flashed with cold lightning, and his demeanor became extremely frightening, completely different from his usual old and decrepit appearance.

At the same time, the little girl closed her eyes and slowly floated into the air. Her little hands quickly formed hand seals, and her movements were mysterious and unpredictable, so complicated that they were hard to understand.

Gai Jiuyou sat there, gazing at the little girl, his eyes shining even brighter, as if trying to see through her. In particular, a god-like figure appeared between his brows, sitting cross-legged in the void, solemn and dignified, also staring at the little girl.

The colorful little stone in Luo Heng's hand suddenly rose into the air and slowly flew to the space between the little girl's eyebrows.

The little girl's hands kept forming hand seals, and the seven-colored stone between her eyebrows became more and more dazzling, gradually melting into a small seven-colored light spot, emitting a mysterious aura.

With a deafening roar, a terrifying white light erupted from Xiao Nannan's body.

Fortunately, Wei Yi gently pressed down on it, extinguishing the white light and saving the hall.

As the white light dissipated, the little girl looked around in a daze and walked out.

The little girl was not injured. The only change was that the colorful little stone melted into her brow and no longer fell off, making her look more ethereal.

Seeing this, Luo Heng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

To be honest, doing this is actually a bit risky.

Although Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi were both good people in the original work, the Ruthless Great Emperor's Dao Fruit was just around the corner, so Luo Heng didn't mind speculating about the two with the greatest malice.

This is also why he didn't let Wei Yi treat Xiao Nannan before.

This place is the Yao Guang Holy Land. He, Wei Yi, Gai Jiuyou, and the Yao Guang Holy Land can be considered as four forces.

On the surface, Gai Jiuyou is the strongest, but he suffers from Dao injuries and is only at the Great Sage level in his normal state.

Wei Yi and the Yao Guang Holy Land are the next strongest, while Luo Heng is the weakest.

However, Luo Heng possesses two supreme imperial weapons. If he lends them to Yao Guang Holy Land and Wei Yi, they will be able to completely suppress Gai Jiuyou.

The same applies to Wei Yi's side.

In other words, the side that Luo Heng helps becomes the strongest.

In addition, he also possesses two trump cards: the forbidden artifact of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the ability to completely revive the Devouring Demon Jar and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron in the worst-case scenario.

Only then did he dare to release the little girl for Gai Jiuyou to treat.

After all, if conditions permitted, Luo Heng would never entrust his life and fortune to others, placing the key to his life and death on the character and conduct of others.

Despite the myriad thoughts swirling in his mind, Luo Heng still wore a smile and bowed to Gai Jiuyou to express his gratitude.

Seeing this, Gai Jiuyou waved his hand: "The Dao injury she suffered is not something I can heal. I was merely guiding her to heal herself. You don't need to be so grateful."

Luo Heng felt somewhat relieved after hearing this. He turned around and beckoned Xiao Nannan to his side, asking, "Nannan, how are you feeling?"

"It's nothing, Nannan. I just feel like I can remember a lot of things now," the little one replied obediently, rubbing the colorful little spot on her forehead as she spoke.

Seeing the little girl's well-behaved appearance, Luo Heng couldn't help but smile and gently ruffle her soft hair, saying softly, "Little girl, brother has some things to discuss with your two grandfathers. Why don't you sit here and wait for a while?"

"Mmm!" The little girl nodded vigorously, obediently climbed onto the chair next to her and sat down. Her little hands were neatly placed on her knees, and her clear eyes quietly looked at the group of people. She was quiet and well-behaved, like a porcelain doll.

Looking at the little girl sitting there so properly, Luo Heng couldn't help but smile again, his heart melting.

I think how wonderful it would be if I had a daughter like that someday.

He shook his head, as if trying to shake off the sudden thought, a lingering smile on his lips.

He then composed himself and turned his gaze to Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi beside him.

Afterwards, the three talked for a while longer. Seeing that the two had no further questions, Luo Heng spoke again: "Since you two have no more questions, then we should set off now."

Wei Yi, who had been just observing the proceedings, suddenly became interested after hearing Luo Heng's words.

After all, he had spent the most time with Luo Heng among those present, and he knew that Luo Heng always produced extraordinary treasures. So he took the initiative to ask, "Oh? What is your target this time?"

Both Gai Jiuyou and Xia Jiuyou showed expressions of curiosity.

They all wanted to know what Gai Jiuyou needed to do for Luo Heng, given the huge cost of cooperating with him.

A confident smile returned to Luo Heng's face, and he uttered three words with certainty: "The elixir of immortality."

He then added, "A complete elixir of immortality that can extend the lifespan of the Great Emperor for one lifetime."

Since Senior Gai Jiuyou has agreed to cooperate with me, I will naturally present this reward first.

After hearing Luo Heng's words, all three people present were moved, especially Xia Jiuyou, who was so excited that she tightly grabbed Gai Jiuyou's clothes with one hand.

Seeing this, Luo Heng simply smiled and said nothing more. He turned around and carefully collected the scattered treasures on the table before beckoning to the little girl sitting quietly to the side: "Little girl, come here."

The little girl's eyes lit up, she slid off the stool, and ran to his legs.

Luo Heng naturally took her soft little hand and walked out of the hall first. Gai Jiuyou, Wei Yi, and the others also got up and followed.

As the group walked out of the hall, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang was waiting outside. Luo Heng went straight to him and said:

"My Lord, I have already discussed this with Senior Gai Jiuyou. I will first find a complete elixir of immortality and give it to Senior Gai Jiuyou to help him live another life and eventually become a Great Emperor."

He will also protect me and ensure that I can cultivate the Chaos Body to its full potential, so that I can also attain enlightenment in the future.

After all, a chaotic being can attain enlightenment in an era with a great emperor.

In this way, there will be no conflict between me and Senior Gai Jiuyou on the path of cultivation.

"From now on, Senior Gai Jiuyou will be the protector of our Yao Guang Holy Land. If you have any needs in the future, we hope the Holy Lord will provide full support."

The reason Luo Heng specifically told the Holy Lord of Yao Guang was to add some weight to his position and prevent the Holy Lord of Yao Guang from doing anything underhanded behind his back.

As expected, upon hearing this, the last vestiges of the Yao Guang Holy Lord's thoughts vanished completely.
