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

Gai Jiuyou was right. The secret technique that Luo Heng just used was the second application of the "Wilderness" secret technique that he created himself.

Moreover, this secret technique is even simpler. It involves adding the 108 ancient characters from the Great Luo Heaven to the Holy Light World Technique in sequence, and then using the "Fight" character secret technique to perform it.

In theory, one could simply use the world's secret techniques and the ancient characters in the Great Luo Heaven, but because Luo Heng himself was not proficient enough in the "Primordial Holy Light Technique," he could only rely on the Douzi Secret Technique to perform it.

After all, the Douzi Secret Technique itself has superb functions for learning, using, and DIYing secret techniques, making it comparable to the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" of the "Covering the Sky" version.

In the original novel, Ye Fan even used his imagination to unleash a move called "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" using the "Fight" character. This demonstrates the extent of his abnormal abilities.

Although Luo Heng can only imbue six ancient characters with power at present, its power has already reached the level of a Great Emperor's secret technique. If Luo Heng can inscribe all 108 ancient characters on it in the future, he might really be able to create a Great Thousand World with a single punch.

However, looking at the Black Emperor who had only been knocked unconscious, Luo Heng couldn't help but sigh that Wu Shi had been really good to this dead dog back then.

They must have used a lot of rare and precious treasures on it to give this dead dog a physique comparable to an ancient holy body.

It should be noted that although Luo Heng did not go all out before, that punch would have injured an ordinary fourth-level expert if it had just grazed them, or killed them if it had just hit them.

But this dead dog was only unconscious.

After a while, Luo Heng noticed that although Black Emperor was still unconscious on the surface, its eyelids occasionally twitched, indicating that it had woken up.

Luo Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Black Emperor, stop pretending. I know your character better than you do. Don't worry, I don't intend to eat dog meat. I'm letting you out to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Black Emperor immediately flipped to his feet and ran away in a flash, watching Luo Heng grin from afar.

"Boy, what's your background? That punch just now was so powerful. You wait, I'll remember this grudge. As for any deal? Forget about it, I'll never agree to it."

Seeing this, Luo Heng didn't waste any more words and directly took out the Devouring Demon Jar and played with it in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the Black King let out a howl and tucked its bald tail between its legs.

"Woof... But for the sake of the Boundless Bell, I, Your Majesty, will forgive your petty transgressions this time. Speak! What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

Luo Heng had no intention of arguing with the Black Emperor and said directly, "I plan to enter the old Yaochi area to retrieve some items, and I hope you can lead the way. As for the reward..."

Before he could finish speaking, Black Emperor had already rushed in front of Luo Heng with a whoosh.

"Woof! How did you know I know where the Jade Pool is? What do you want to take? Don't even dream about it, I will never allow it!"

Looking at the dog's face so close to his own, Luo Heng couldn't help but lean back a little, creating some distance, his face full of disgust.

"How I know is none of your business. As for what I'm going to take, I won't hide it from you. I want to retrieve some divine spring water from the old Jade Pool and perhaps find some opportunities along the way."

A hint of confusion flashed across Black King Dog's face.

It knew that there was a divine spring in the old site of Yaochi, but as for other opportunities... after a moment's thought, it suddenly remembered that the Dao Palace Scroll of the "Western Queen Scripture" created by the Western Queen Mother should still exist.

After a few moments of thought, it assumed it had guessed Luo Heng's target. Its eyes darted around, and it put on a stern, righteous expression:

"Woof! Don't even think about it! I will never take you to the old Jade Pool!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng didn't get angry but laughed. He flipped his hand and took out a piece of divine source the size of half a fist, tossed it in front of the Black Emperor, and asked calmly, "Will you lead the way?"

Black Emperor pounced with delight, pressing his paws firmly against Divine Source. His eyes darted around, but his expression remained righteous: "Hmph! What kind of dog do you take me for? You think you can bribe me with this little bit?"

Without further ado, Luo Heng tossed out another piece of divine energy of roughly the same size, which landed with a "thud" on the dog's head. He remained calm: "Lead the way or not?"

"Naive! What haven't I seen when I served Emperor Wushi? Do you think I can compete with this?"

Luo Heng threw out another piece of divine energy, which hit the dog's head with a "thud," his voice still flat: "Lead the way or not?"

"You...you are insulting me!"

This time, Luo Heng didn't throw away the divine source again. Instead, he revealed a playful smile, raised his hand, and used his divine power to snatch back the first piece of divine source he had thrown from the Black Emperor's claws.

Black King was shocked. A vicious dog pounced on its prey and opened its mouth to bite!

Luo Heng was prepared. With his other hand, he swung the Devouring Demon Jar and slammed the charging Black Emperor to the ground with a "bang," then asked with a smile, "Lead the way or not?"

"No... how could I not lead the way? I've already taken two pieces of divine source from you! I always keep my word and am the most trustworthy!"

As soon as Black Emperor uttered a "no," Luo Heng raised his hand again, startling it so much that it quickly pressed down on the divine source beneath it with its two paws, and its words instantly took a turn.

Seeing that it had finally given in, Luo Heng nodded in satisfaction. But noticing that Black Emperor's eyes were still darting around, clearly not having given up, he issued a warning:

"Don't get any funny ideas. I roughly know how to get into the old Yaochi area; it's just a dry well. I only asked for your help because it would be too much trouble for me to find it myself."

If you don't want to, then we'll go ourselves. But whatever we get, you won't get any.

Upon hearing this, the Black King didn't hesitate any longer. He stood up on his hind legs, and placed a furry black paw on Luo Heng's shoulder.

"Hahaha! How could that be? I, the Emperor, always keep my word and do what I say."

"Oh, right, you just mentioned the reward... I'm being extremely generous, hmm... how about this, we split it 70/30, I get 70% and you get 30%, how does that sound?"

Luo Heng slapped the dog's paw away from his shoulder in disgust, rolling his eyes in anger.

This damned dog clearly knew that Luo Heng had made a deal with Wu Shi Zhong and had gained Wu Shi Da Di's approval to some extent, yet he still dared to ask for 70% of the profits. He was so greedy, he was truly heartless!

"Pah! Seventy percent? Do you really think you're Master Huang? You won't get any resources or treasures, but you can have a share of ancient scriptures and secret techniques."

Upon hearing this, Black King jumped up immediately: "Woof...you brat, how dare you play tricks on me!"

As it spoke, it bared its teeth and lunged forward to bite someone again.

Luo Heng quickly took a few steps back.

He wasn't afraid of being bitten by the dog; he was mainly trying to avoid the Black King's spittle.

Having dodged the barrage of insults, he slowly said, "Alright, I won't take advantage of you. If you take me into the Jade Pool Holy Land, I'll give you one of the Nine Secrets, the 'Soldier' ​​Secret. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor, whose face was originally fierce and who was baring his teeth, froze.

Its eyes darted around, and it said, "If it really is the secret of the military, then I might be able to agree to this deal."

"But... how are you going to prove you're not lying? Hmm, how about this: first, hand over the 'Military Secret' to me to verify its authenticity. Once I've confirmed it's genuine, I'll naturally take you to the ancient site of Yaochi."

Luo Heng was so angry at its shameless remarks that he almost laughed. He was too lazy to waste any more words, and with a thought, he directly activated the Military Secret Technique.

In an instant, the golden bell hanging around the Black Emperor's neck trembled violently and flew into the air, shooting straight towards Luo Heng!

Black King was terrified. Without thinking, he opened his mouth and bit the bell in mid-air. The dog was dragged forward several meters, and its four paws dug several half-foot-deep furrows in the ground before it could barely stop its momentum.
