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

Luo Heng didn't explain, but said directly, "God King, we plan to continue inwards. Would you like to go out by yourself now, or come with us later?"

Jiang Taixu wanted to offer some advice, but then he thought about the strength of the group opposite him and swallowed his words.

"I'll go with you," he said, "at least we can look out for each other."

Luo Heng deliberately feigned a troubled expression, glancing at him with a hesitant look: "God King, of course I trust your strength, but your physical condition..."

Even if the words aren't finished, as long as the meaning is conveyed, that's enough.

Jiang Taixu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, feeling both frustrated and helpless.

Since someone saved me, I can't just cause them trouble.

Besides, he understood the unspoken question—if he joined the adventure and found treasure, would he get a share? How much?

He sighed and nodded.

Gai Jiuyou took out an octagonal storage artifact and put Jiang Taixu into it.

The surface of the ritual implement shimmered with light, then immediately lost all its aura, becoming as ordinary as a mortal object.

"Let's go."

Gai Jiuyou put away his magical artifact, his tone indifferent.

The group said no more and continued their journey deeper into Purple Mountain.

……

The group continued their journey, encountering harassment from ghostly creatures and ancient beings along the way. However, these obstacles were all easily eliminated by Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi with a wave of their hands.

They entered a vast cavern, which resembled an extremely large palace, much like a plaza.

Luo Heng was the first to discover a human skeleton, next to which lay a silver scroll that emitted a cold, eerie luster. Not far away, on the purple rocky ground, there were also some broken and mangled fragments of stone.

Luo Heng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the silver book, and found that it was indeed engraved with metal, with about a hundred pages, and was unusually heavy. Three ancient characters were engraved on it: Yuan Tian Shu (Book of Origin).

Luo Heng felt a surge of excitement. One of his purposes in entering Zishan was to find this book.

He opened the Heavenly Book, and beams of silver light shot out, dazzling and shimmering like sparkling diamonds.

The book begins by clarifying that it is not only a sacred book for finding the source, but also an explanation of the relationship between heaven, earth and humanity. By using the source, one can approach the Tao and ultimately achieve the state of unity between heaven and humanity.

"Harmony between humanity and nature, harmony between humanity and nature is wonderful! That's exactly what I want."

Luo Heng couldn't help but mutter to himself, his face full of joy.

He was searching for the Source Book, not for purposes like finding source mines; to him now, the source was just a number.

What he values ​​is the cultivation method in the Source Book, which will be one of the cornerstones of his future path.

The others, though curious about Luo Heng's appearance, wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Luo Heng carefully put away the Source Heaven Book and returned to the group. Looking at the spacious hall, he suddenly said loudly, "Senior Wushi Zhong, you should be awake by now."

After all, when I recounted the life of Emperor Wushi in public before, I didn't hold anything back.

I have come here today only to seek the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality.

Now that the Great Emperor Wushi has entered that strange little world, he no longer needs to worry about his lifespan and will surely become an immortal in the future.

However, the Immortal Emperor, a formidable enemy, was also among them, along with the native powerhouses of that world who colluded with him. Emperor Wushi's current situation was truly precarious.

I think the emperor also hopes that someone can lend him a hand.

Moreover, two hundred years later, the path to immortality will open, which will be the greatest dark upheaval in the history of this world.

Although the Great Emperor Wushi left behind a contingency plan, without the innate holy body and Dao embryo, the imperial blood left in the old Yaochi site would be useless.

The senior Gai Jiuyou beside me, although he failed to transcend the Emperor Tribulation eight thousand years ago, if he had an elixir of immortality, he would surely have been able to attain the Dao and become an Emperor in this life.

If he succeeds in becoming emperor, he will have a better chance of suppressing this dark upheaval, and he might even be able to help the Great Emperor Wushi in the strange world in the future.

"Of course, there's also this one..."

At this point, Luo Heng took off the silver bracelet in his hand and opened a corner of its space.

The circular bracelet, like a mirror, clearly reflected a large bed on which lay a little girl of about ten years old, fast asleep.

The previously silent hall was suddenly filled with a soft humming sound, as if a large bell had trembled slightly.

"How is it, Senior Wushi Zhong? You must know this one, right? She is the Ruthless Great Emperor, one of the most amazing Great Emperors in history. She has also embarked on the path to immortality and may become a comrade-in-arms of the Wushi Great Emperor in the future."

"I hope Senior Wushi Zhong will do me a favor out of consideration for her."

At this moment, Luo Heng used his most familiar old trick, which can be summarized as, "Wu Shi Zhong, you wouldn't want your Wu Shi Emperor to be bullied in this strange little world, would you?"

Luo Heng paused briefly, then continued, "Furthermore, I know that you left behind the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality in order to nurture the future Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo."

"Don't worry about that. We've borrowed the Divine Phoenix Elixir this time, but we'll definitely return a new one to you in the future."

As he spoke, Luo Heng took out the seeds of the Qilin Immortal Medicine and the roots of the Humanoid Immortal Medicine from his storage space and showed them to the air.

After waiting for a while, a fragrant aroma wafted over, and the group felt so comfortable that they almost floated away.

Then, a flash of light appeared, and a magnificent bird flew overhead. After circling twice in the air, it slowly landed in front of them.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was a miniature version of the divine phoenix, vibrant in color and almost ethereal in its beauty.

Seeing the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality before him, Luo Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ye Fan and Duan De had encountered the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality in the original novel, theoretically, as long as they found the right path, they could capture it directly.

However, it should be noted that the Wushi Bell is not like an ordinary supreme imperial weapon. Luo Heng even suspected that it had been in a state of resurgence all along, and it was simply a pipe dream to steal the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality.

Luo Heng estimated that to obtain the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, either Wu Shi Zhong would allow it, or he would have to fight Wu Shi Zhong head-on and forcibly take it away; there was absolutely no third possibility.

Although Luo Heng and his group theoretically had the strength to defeat Wu Shi Zhong, this battle was meaningless, and even if they won, it would be a losing proposition.

That's why Luo Heng painstakingly persuaded Wu Shi Zhong.

Of course, even if Wu Shi Zhong refuses in the end, Luo Heng will not resort to force, after all, he still has the True Dragon Immortal Elixir as an option, and even the White Tiger Immortal Elixir on Earth.

You should know that with a little girl in the picture, taking the elixir of immortality from the dragon would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

After admiring the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality for a while, Luo Heng turned to Gai Jiuyou beside him and said with a smile, "Senior Gai Jiuyou, I have obtained the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality for you."

Gai Jiuyou first put away the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, then turned to look at Luo Heng and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, young friend Luo."

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng simply smiled and nodded. He didn't notice that Xia Jiuyou, standing beside Gai Jiuyou, was looking at him with a hint of admiration, a change from her previous arrogance.
