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

Before long, the girl led Nannan into the private room where Luo Heng was. She bowed to Luo Heng and then handed him the few copper coins.

Luo Heng smiled and gave the girl a few coins, then sent her out to play with Nannan.

Simplicity? That's just the master's job.

As for why Luo Heng did this, it's because Ye Fan looks exactly like the ruthless man's brother.

As mentioned before, what the Ruthless Great Emperor pursued throughout her life was merely the reincarnation of her brother.

Luo Heng was unsure whether Nannan's appearance here was purely accidental or if a ruthless person intentionally wanted her to see Ye Fan, who resembled her brother, again.

In addition, his next plan would take some time to complete, and since he would be waiting either way, he might as well stay in Yandu for the time being.

Perfect timing, it will also allow Nannan to meet Ye Fan.

After all, Luo Heng would basically have to rely on clinging to the Ruthless Great Emperor's beautiful legs to make a living in the future, so naturally he wouldn't want to disrupt her possible plans.

In minor details unrelated to his own plans, he was happy to follow the original story's trajectory as much as possible.

However, according to the original novel that Luo Heng read, Ye Fan only looks like his brother and is not a reincarnation as legend has it.

It is worth mentioning that the Ruthless Great Emperor was a firm believer in reincarnation throughout his life.

As a result, she waited bitterly in the mortal world for hundreds of thousands of years, and in the end, the Ye Fan she finally got was just a similar flower.

However, Ye Fan only sought this life and did not believe in reincarnation.

However, after he entered the immortal realm, he met Kou Xiaoxiao, the reincarnation of his confidante An Miaoyi.

Since ancient times, people have often said that reincarnation exists if you believe in it, and does not exist if you don't. However, the "Red-haired Monster" does the opposite.

It's a rather morbid idea that if you believe, it doesn't exist, and if you don't believe, it does—that's rather morbidly absurd.

Furthermore, the Ruthless Great Emperor was only waiting for her brother's return and never cared about becoming an immortal, but in the end she became a mortal immortal.

In stark contrast are those supreme beings in the forbidden zones.

They were all the strongest figures of their respective eras, stunningly brilliant, their brilliance illuminating the entire universe.

But for that slim chance of becoming immortals, they were willing to abandon all their past glory and dignity and live a life of humility and subservience.

However, even with such a desperate gamble, they all ended up dying in battle. It's quite ironic.

With these thoughts in mind, Luo Heng chuckled softly.

He took out a white jade plate from the storage artifact on his wrist, placed the few copper coins he had received from the girl on it, and then activated his divine power to begin making hand seals.

Before long, a halo of white light suddenly appeared on the white jade plate. The light then receded inward and disappeared entirely into the copper coins.

Immediately afterwards, three yellow orbs of light appeared on the surface of the coin, two of which were larger and one was slightly smaller.

With a slight shift in his thoughts, Luo Heng dispersed the two large orbs of light, leaving only the smallest one, which the white jade plate slowly absorbed.

Then he saw a golden dot appear on the surface of the jade plate, flickering and slowly moving toward the rim.

This is a magical artifact with tracking capabilities that Luo Heng obtained from Yaochi.

The copper coins he had prepared earlier were imbued with his and the girl's scent. After passing through Ye Fan's hand, the coins absorbed his scent, making them perfect for tracking him.

Of course, this magical artifact wasn't high-level, and its tracking range was very limited, at most the size of a few mortal cities, making it rather useless for cultivators. But it was enough for Luo Heng.

After putting away the white jade plate, Luo Heng went out and found Nannan and the maid. The three of them returned to the small courtyard together.

After that, Luo Heng lived with Nannan in Yandu for another year.

Although he doesn't usually cultivate much, his cultivation level has already reached the Divine Bridge Realm because he has no shortage of source energy.

After recalculating the time and deciding it was about time, Luo Heng prepared to take Nannan away.

Looking at the little courtyard where she had lived for two years, Nannan's eyes were full of affection.

Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and teary gaze, Luo Heng felt both heartache and joy.

To appease her, he left a generous sum of money for the servants in the courtyard, instructing them to continue taking good care of the courtyard.

Afterwards, he went to the city lord's mansion, revealed his identity as a cultivator, and left a large sum of money, asking the city lord to keep an eye on the small courtyard.

After doing all this, Luo Heng used the silver bracelet in his hand to put away Nannan, then soared into the air, transforming into a divine rainbow, and flew towards the direction of Weidu.

Wei was the capital of the State of Wei, which was merely a small, ordinary state, only slightly larger than the State of Yan. On this vast and boundless eastern wilderness, it was but a drop in the ocean.

Luo Heng and Xiao Nannan embarked on a sightseeing trip in Weidu, during which they also gained a general understanding of the city's layout.

One day, the jade pendant hanging at Luo Heng's waist trembled slightly, and a golden spot appeared on it, shimmering along the edge of the pendant and moving slowly.

Luo Heng glanced at it but didn't pay any attention. Instead, he continued telling the little girl a fairy tale.

After telling the story, he didn't do anything else, but continued to accompany the little girl to play in Weidu, deliberately staying away from where Ye Fan was.

A month and a half later, Luo Heng said to the little girl, "Brother has some things to take care of. Why don't you stay in the silver bracelet space for a few days?"

Seeing that the little girl nodded obediently in agreement, Luo Heng put her into the silver bracelet space.

Inside the Silver Bracelet Space, there was a super pink bed, and a huge, fluffy carpet on the floor, piled with hundreds of dolls of all sizes.

There were several bookshelves not far away, filled with all kinds of comic books, and a cabinet next to them displayed a wide variety of snacks and treats.

In the distance, a carousel slowly turns in the corner, and there are slides, trampolines, and a sandpit filled with colorful pebbles.

Further away, there was a huge fish tank where colorful goldfish were swimming happily.

The little girl floated lightly onto the soft, fluffy bed, picked up the big teddy bear next to her, and let out a silvery laugh.

She couldn't wait to slide down the slide and then play in the sandpit, her little face beaming with happiness.

This storage artifact, capable of holding a person, was specially prepared by Luo Heng for his little girl.

Watching the little one playing happily inside, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. All that careful planning had finally paid off.

After that, Luo Heng picked up the jade pendant at his waist and activated his divine power, instantly turning the jade pendant into a jade plate.

After carefully observing and determining Ye Fan's approximate location, he did not approach him directly.

After all, Ye Fan had already consumed the second Ancient Sacred Fruit, making his spiritual sense range extremely terrifying; he dared not approach rashly.

He took to the air and headed towards the vicinity of the Xuan Yuan Sect, where he found a secluded hilltop outside its gates and waited.

Until one day, Luo Heng saw through the jade disc that Ye Fan was approaching the Xuan Yuan Sect. Only then did he take out a green jade talisman the size of a fingernail.

This jade talisman is no ordinary item; it is one of the most precious items he obtained from Yaochi.

According to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, it is a forbidden artifact of the level of a great power, and its material is the Nine Heavens Azure Jade of the Saint level.

If this divine jade hadn't been so small that it couldn't be made into other objects, it wouldn't have been limited to being refined into a forbidden jade talisman.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, "weapons" are roughly divided into ordinary weapons and forbidden weapons. Forbidden weapons are forbidden weapons that sacrifice their lifespan and reduce the conditions for use in exchange for a significant increase in power in a short period of time.

Activating this forbidden artifact, the cyan jade talisman instantly turned into dust, and a hazy cyan light enveloped him.

A moment later, he disappeared completely.
