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

Weiwei actually knew about Ye Fan.

After all, the news of the Bronze Immortal Palace and the emergence of the Xuanhuang Qi had caused quite a stir, and the entire Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness was discussing it.

Although she was in the Holy Land of Yao Guang, she had heard some rumors and told them all the news she had heard.

After listening, Luo Heng roughly calculated the time in his mind, estimating that Ye Fan should currently be rescuing Ji Ziyue and being hunted down by the Ji family all over the world. He immediately gave the order:

"Go with Elder Liu to the vicinity of the Tai Xuan Sect and find Ye Fan. First, give him the secret code—'A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude.'"

"Then tell him I'm looking for him and will bring him to the Holy Land of Yao Guang. If anyone tries to stop me..." He paused, "...I'll just take action."

Weiwei nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

Elder Liu, standing nearby, glanced at him and tentatively asked, "Holy Son, this Ye Fan... could he be that Ancient Sacred Body?"

Luo Heng glanced at him and couldn't help but roll her eyes:

"He is my friend. I invited you here because I genuinely wanted to invite him to visit the Holy Land."

"Keep a close watch on the road and don't let anything go wrong. Otherwise, I'll hold you accountable."

He added, "Also, treat them with courtesy."

As he said this, Luo Heng's gaze fell on Elder Liu's face. His tone was not harsh, but his meaning was very clear.

Elder Liu then realized he had misunderstood and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, I understand."

However, he then added with a somewhat strange expression, "That... Holy Son, as far as I know, it seems that... people from my lineage are involved in the forces currently hunting down the Ancient Holy Body."

Although Elder Liu spoke cryptically, Luo Heng understood immediately. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Hua Yunfei, right? Hmm, I understand."

He's a pitiful person too! Let's leave it at that for now; I'll handle it when I have time.

At this point, Luo Heng paused, then used a secret telepathic technique to give Elder Liu a few private instructions.

Elder Liu was taken aback upon hearing the whispered words, and a look of surprise quickly crossed his face. However, he soon regained his composure and solemnly nodded in agreement: "Understood, subordinate."

Seeing that Luo Heng had no further instructions, the two bowed and quietly withdrew from the Holy Son's Hall.

Watching the two figures leave, Luo Heng wasn't in a hurry to do anything else, so he stayed in the Holy Son's Palace a little longer.

He asked Nannan if she was happy lately, and if there was anything she wanted or wanted to do.

After hearing the little guy say in his clear voice, "Sister Weiwei is so nice to me," "There are lots of delicious things here," and "I'm happy here every day," Luo Heng finally smiled with relief.

I chatted with the little girl for a while longer.

He then gently took Nannan's soft little hand and slowly walked out of the Holy Son's Hall, heading leisurely towards the quiet courtyard nearby.

……

They gently pushed open the door and entered, only to find Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi leisurely discussing metaphysics in the quiet and elegant courtyard.

Xia Jiuyou, the little girl, sat there seemingly listening, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were unfocused, clearly lost in thought, and she probably hadn't taken in much of what she was saying.

After all, the content discussed by the two big shots was far too advanced for newbies like Luo Heng and Xia Jiuyou.

Hearing it was like hearing a foreign language.

Upon noticing someone enter the courtyard, Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi's expressions changed almost simultaneously, their gazes shooting towards the entrance like lightning.

Upon seeing that the visitors were Luo Heng and Xiao Nannan, both of them were startled and then simultaneously let out a soft "Eh."

This time, however, their gazes were not drawn to the well-behaved girl, but rather to the faint halo of holy light surrounding Luo Heng. They examined him closely, and exclamations of praise rang out one after another.

"My little one's here!" Xia Jiuyou's face lit up with a smile as soon as she saw the little one, and she greeted her affectionately. But when her gaze shifted to Luo Heng beside her, she immediately pouted, and her voice rose: "Liar! What are you doing here?"

The tone shifted so smoothly, without a single stumble, that the disdain was crystal clear.

Luo Heng ignored Xia Jiuyou and smiled as he bowed to Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi.

Seeing this, the little girl next to her also followed suit, bowing slightly and saying in a soft voice, "Hello, Sister Xia, Hello, Grandpa Gai, Hello, Grandpa Wei."

Xia Jiuyou stood there nonchalantly, while Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi simultaneously flashed back to where they were, still appearing several feet away.

He had clearly avoided the girl's bow.

Seeing this, Luo Heng smiled and ruffled Nannan's hair, saying, "From now on, when you see elders, just greet them. No need to bow. Otherwise, if the grandfathers keep dodging around like this, they might twist their backs one day."

Upon hearing this, Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi, who were standing to the side, also smiled.

Gai Jiuyou shook his head and laughed, scolding, "You little brat, you really have no manners."

But then they saw the little girl blinking her big, puzzled eyes and looking over. Both of them smiled gently and nodded, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite in the future.

Although the little girl didn't quite understand the reason, she still obediently hummed in agreement, indicating that she had remembered it.

Immediately, their gazes returned to Luo Heng, scrutinizing him from head to toe with eyes full of inquiry and admiration, their mouths still clicking in amazement.

……

It turns out that the pavilions, towers, halls, and corridors within the mountain gates of great sects like Yaoguang Holy Land are all densely covered with mysterious and astonishing Dao patterns.

These Dao patterns not only possess powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, but can also block divine sense from prying into them, protecting a peaceful area.

Otherwise, if a cultivator could easily penetrate the walls and see inside with a casual sweep of their divine sense, wouldn't the daily lives and private cultivation practices of the disciples and elders be exposed to others? No one could be at ease in such a situation.

Therefore, even powerful figures like Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi would find it difficult to completely penetrate the layers of Dao patterns that had been blessed by the great saints of Yaoguang without using their full strength.

Moreover, given their status and temperament, how could they possibly conduct unauthorized investigations within other sects on a regular basis?

Therefore, it wasn't until the courtyard gate was gently pushed open and Luo Heng led Nannan to the door that the two realized they had already arrived.

But what truly surprised Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi was not this.

Their keen senses detected only Xiao Nannan's presence at the doorway. But when they looked over, they discovered Luo Heng was also standing there quietly.

After the two focused their attention and noticed the mysterious halo of holy light surrounding Luo Heng, they suddenly realized that this secret technique was actually creating a miniature world within which he concealed himself, completely isolating himself from the outside world. No wonder even their divine senses had failed to detect him for a time.

However, given their character and refinement, they naturally wouldn't rashly inquire about others' secret techniques. Therefore, they merely marveled and observed.

After observing for a while, Gai Jiuyou spoke first, asking, "Young friend Luo Heng, what brings you here?"
