Covering the sky: Starting from the Golden Crow of the Holy Cliff

Chapter 269 Ye Yishui, the Birth of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo
Two old servants, dressed in gray, with white hair and youthful faces, suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

The ancestors of the Lai clan once served the ancient emperor and were servants of the fairy grandmother. This lineage has been passed down for countless generations, and now this old woman has been released from the outside world.

The chaotic frontier stretched endlessly, overgrown with ravines and desolation, a scene of devastation left by the lightning tribulation. Upon seeing this, the old servant's expression turned grim, but he quickly put on a smile and said very politely to the group of people not far away, "Gentlemen, I think this is a misunderstanding."

The two quasi-emperors of the Heavenly Court stared expressionlessly at the envoy from the Immortal Tomb. Their auras were cold, and a terrifying stillness spread, making people's hearts tremble, as if they were about to launch an attack at any moment.

“The princes are ignorant and have disturbed His Majesty. We are willing to pay the price.” Another old servant, his expression unchanged, took out his name cards, wanting to visit some special figures, but unsurprisingly, he was refused.

The elder of the Lai tribe, Sheng, was branded with a sacrificial talisman and led into the Dark Heaven by the Crow General.

He was treated poorly and ignored for several days. No quasi-emperors were willing to see him. Since it involved the life and death of a quasi-emperor in the forbidden zone, no one dared to get involved in such a major cause and effect unless Yan Ming gave the order.

Seven days later, the old servant saw a palace supported by a Fusang tree, where golden lights often hung high. After some bribery, he learned that they were the seven Sun Princes of the Heavenly Court, who had inherited the true blood of the ancient imperial Golden Crow.

The older members of the Seven Golden Crows have grown up, while those below the Saint Realm are still confined to the palace. When they go out to roam, beauties are often presented to them by foreign tribes. They are surrounded by servants under their golden carriages. Together, they ride the divine rainbow in and out, roaring through the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers. They have a world of Tang Valley that belongs only to them.

The envoy from the Immortal Mausoleum witnessed all of this and nodded to himself, confirming that it was indeed the style of the Golden Crow lineage of the Sun mentioned in ancient texts.

So another person came up with a plan to target the mothers of the seven Golden Crow Princes.

"The Taiyin Body has many offspring and seems to be quite favored. It previously returned to the lineage of the Human Emperor, but its clan members are not prominent. Perhaps it is possible to find some of the ancestral graves."

Having made up their minds, the two spent a large sum of money to bribe their way into presenting Jiang Tingting with lavish gifts, including supreme immortal materials, ancient imperial fragments, and ancient secrets held by the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Tomb.

Finally, Shen Yingzi of the Immortal Tomb was released, in a daze, his body completely destroyed, no longer possessing the handsome appearance he had when he was born. He simply held the Spirit Jade and remained silent for a long time.

The old servant sighed, knowing that the nobleman had fallen into hysteria and that the other four fairies must have been poisoned and turned into the demon lord's furnace.

The two dared not make any more demands. After thanking the Central Heavenly Palace, they took Shen Yingzi and fled back to the Immortal Mausoleum. The commotion in the forbidden zone goes without saying.

When this result reached the outside world, it caused a huge uproar. The forbidden zone of life actually bowed its head and allowed the fire spirit to snatch away four fairy maidens with royal blood flowing through their veins, including a forbidden zone maiden who was at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm!
After this incident, the name of the Dark Heavenly Court spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, its power unparalleled, rivaling that of the ancient Heavenly Court at the end of the mythological period.

Deep within the sacrificial cliff lies a supreme being in slumber, while the emerging Yama King is nearing completion. If successful, the world will once again experience the overwhelming power of the Imperial Fire Spirit. This situation of the passing down of the torch leaves many with mixed feelings.

Even creatures in the forbidden zone actively avoid this force, unwilling to provoke or provoke it.

In the following years, several high-ranking officials from Heaven set out to search for the whereabouts of several people throughout the universe.

There are emperors of pseudo-divine courts, as well as people like Guangchengzi who have had karmic connections with the Heavenly Court. During the great war in the divine realm, Guangchengzi borrowed a scroll of imperial power and slaughtered his way through the land, almost obtaining the Ancient Tree of Life.

Now that the Heavenly Court has the resources, it is going to thoroughly settle scores!

The Guangcheng clan had Laozi to resolve their feud, and the clan behind that immortal map became the target of the Heavenly Court's powerful forces' search.

If the ancient emperors and great rulers truly wanted to conceal themselves, it would be very difficult for the world to discover them, because they possessed special arrays and other techniques for hiding in their worlds. The universe is vast, and as long as one doesn't get too close, these imperial runes can still deceive everything.

However, when the figure on the Immortal Ruins Heavenly Palace regained his divine soul and truly focused on sensing, specifically searching for a certain inheritance, it was an unimaginable catastrophe, and almost no one could escape it.

"Found it... the Mountain and River Map held by a reclusive family!"

On this day, a celestial land deep in the universe was ravaged by bloodshed. All the people of that race prayed and cried out, hoping that the gods in the Mountain and River Map would be resurrected and block the Heavenly Army.

However, the immortal map formed by the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Mother Qi of All Things, stretching across the starry sky, did not reveal the corresponding laws of order.

This image depicts a past terrible war, the destruction of gods, and its changing hands several times.

The clan that occupies the Immortal Land has produced quasi-emperors and inherited part of the Mountain and River Map from the ancient battlefield. They are not descendants of the Celestial Venerables of the mythical era.

"We are guilty and we are willing to submit to the Heavenly Court."

"It was all due to the coercion and enticement of the Guangcheng clan..."

Some elderly people flew up into the sky, trying to explain, but the sun's true fire filled the sky, leaving only a few clusters of brilliant blood flowers behind.

The army's deputy general is Yang Xi, who is pursuing the Great Sage. His strength has increased extremely rapidly over the years, and he is almost breaking into that realm.

Hua Hua, who led the monks from Mount Sumeru to help, clasped her hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras. The monks could not bear to see such a tragic scene.

He personally gathered the souls from the immortal land, intending to send them back to the sacrificial cliff to be punished...

Ultimately, this hidden lineage was wiped out, and the Mountain and River Map rushed into the Immortal Ruins, becoming a painting in the Lingxiao Palace, reflecting the myriad heavens and seas.

The scene of blood flowing everywhere was recreated, and all the races in the heavens trembled, especially those races that possessed imperial artifacts, who were almost scared out of their wits.

Some choose to close their mountain gates, letting the outside world change as it may, while they recite the Yellow Court Classic and remain untouched by worldly causes and effects.

In just two hundred years, the descendants of the fallen royal family who emerged from the Sacred Cliff built a Heavenly Court, moved to the Sacred Cliff, and fought until the heavens and earth fell silent. Almost all those who opposed him were killed or suppressed one after another, thus creating a mythical scroll.

The Dark Heavenly Court is truly too powerful. This behemoth is now unshakeable, suppressing the Phoenix Nest and becoming the only one of its kind in this world.

The only thing that reassured the cultivators was that they rarely exterminated their clans without cause. Those clans and quasi-emperors who suffered calamities had more or less karmic ties with the Heavenly Court.

"boom!"

On this day, a huge disturbance suddenly occurred in the mythical battlefield. No one knew what had happened, and no one dared to investigate.

Later, some people finally went there, but found nothing; the great battle had already ended.

Months later, no one knew who had fought there.

In the Heavenly Palace, Yan Ming sat cross-legged. Some time had passed since his tribulation, and he had been meditating in the Heavenly Court with his eyes closed.

As the view rises, a celestial lamp hangs high, radiating countless rays of divine light from the twenty-four heavens, with auspicious hues appearing in countless strands. Each layer of heaven contains a celestial golden bead, emitting five-colored radiance, and floating with the power of mountains and rivers.

These are twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls that Yan Ming refined after the war using materials such as Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and Feathered Azure Gold.

That emperor-slaying spear also took on the form of a measuring ruler!
Duan De knocked open the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and the coffin made of the divine peach wood inside appeared. The elixir of immortality, with only the peach pit remaining, was planted by Xiao Song.

The measuring ruler made of celestial gold was also taken back by the Heavenly Court and placed on the Supreme Altar... "Master, what do you think of the Undying Empress? I feel she might become a source of trouble. Although she was with us during the battle with the Divine Court, upon closer examination... she spared the Emperor later because she didn't want you to rise smoothly and was afraid you would surpass her," Hua Hua said.

He had dealt with Ye Fan, the Holy Body, and the latter told him about some things about the Phoenix Nest. There were stone carvings deep in the Purple Mountain in the northern region of the Burial Emperor Star, which recorded some of the past events of the Undying Empress.

"It's alright, she'll never be a source of trouble," Yan Ming said.

Not only Hua Hua, but everyone else felt the same way. The Undying Queen was unpredictable, and everyone felt that there was a terrible conspiracy behind her.

"Why would you say that?" Hua Hua asked, puzzled. If it were the Vermilion Bird of the Divine Court, no one would doubt that the Emperor's hope of attaining enlightenment was extremely slim at this stage.

Throughout history, only the chaotic ancient era has ever managed to transcend adversity.

The Empress is at the height of her power, and no one can say for sure when she will align herself with the will of Heaven and become the supreme Empress.

Yan Ming picked up a golden phoenix hairpin and said, "She will never have another chance."

Hua Hua and Ye Tong were puzzled, but when they stared at the golden feather, they gradually showed surprise and said, "This is the Divine Hairpin of the Undying Queen. So... that battle a few days ago was between Master and him?"

Yan Ming smiled but didn't say anything.

The subsequent defeat cutscenes are too secretive to be leaked.

The news finally came out: half a year ago, Yan Ming had a friendly match with the Undying Queen. In both the Mythical Battlefield and the Phoenix Nest, the Queen was defeated and was no match for him.

The universe was in an uproar. No one knew about that battle. People didn't know how many moves they exchanged. Some said it was only eight moves before the Undying Queen was defeated and disintegrated. Others said it was ten moves. It was generally agreed that it was less than twenty moves. This result shocked the entire universe.

"Indeed, the King of Hell is unfathomable. Perhaps he will achieve great success in a very short time and recreate the glory of the ancient times!" People could only marvel at this.

Although everyone had guessed this outcome and had a premonition about it, the truth still came out and the dust settled, leaving people sighing and giving many a big surprise.

Never before has there been a time like this, with a sixth-level quasi-emperor suppressing Tianyuan, leaving several aspiring Daoists in the universe in despair, and the peak quasi-emperors in the forbidden zones suppressed and reduced to roadside weeds.

Yan Ming had already demonstrated sufficient divine power when he fought at the Immortal Tomb, but now that this has been confirmed, it is still terrifying and shows his unparalleled divine power.

This is truly invincible below the supreme level!

He could be called the uncrowned emperor, but in fact, many powerful figures within the Heavenly Court began to respectfully address him as 'Emperor Ming'.

This shook the heavens and the earth, and caused an uproar throughout the land.

The defeat of the Undying Queen had far-reaching consequences, symbolizing the surpassing of the last contender for the Heavenly Heart. Only one person remained on that path of conquest, radiating brilliance, causing all races to tremble in fear and awe.

“This life is quite extraordinary in the entire history of cultivation. With your talents, if you continue to cultivate, you will all be qualified to join the imperial path. But you don’t have much time left!” Yan Ming’s gaze swept across the hall, and he couldn’t help but shake his head.

Xiao Song, Ye Tong, Yang Xi, and the others all changed their expressions slightly, knowing what Yan Ming was talking about—it involved the dark turmoil.

Earlier, a rift in the Immortal Path was reported in the Big Dipper Star Region, and even an ancient supreme being was born and stood before the rift, causing the heavens to tremble and attracting countless powerful beings.

"The path to immortality is about to open. For me, this is both an opportunity and a trial, but for you, it will be a life-or-death calamity."

"Among you, Ye Tong is most like me. Perhaps he can break through the major barrier and advance to Quasi-Emperor before the Path to Immortality opens. The others still lack the necessary accumulation."

Yan Ming revealed some secrets to his disciples and juniors, who were destined to take over his power, tour the world, and become the future pinnacle of the Dark Heavenly Court.

The meeting ended, and everyone left.

In the years that followed, Ye Tong, Xiao Song, Yang Xi, Hua Hua, and others began to retreat into seclusion, seizing the last moments of peace.

Years later, a loud cry resounded through the starry sky, and chaotic energy spread, engulfing the sun, moon, and stars, eliciting a chorus of exclamations.

In the Big Dipper Starfield, a bell rang out from the depths of Purple Mountain. The Boundless Bell flew out and stood at the top of the sky, accompanied by a huge stone book.

The ruined Sacred Cliff in the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness also trembled, and the gods inside the Investiture of the Gods were revived, shining with golden light, echoing the Beginningless Bell.

"The innate sacred body has been born at this time... His name is still Ye Yishui." Even Yan Ming, who was high in Lingxiao Palace, was awakened. His golden eyes pierced through the void and saw the baby in the distant wilderness.

Holy Body, Duan De, Black Dog... and another ancient person, probably Gu Tianshu.

Before he went into seclusion, he received a letter from Duan De, informing Ye Fan that another son was about to be born.

“Yi Shui, since we met at Peach Blossom Spring, let’s call him Yi Shui.” Ye Fan said, his body surging with the aura of a quasi-Emperor, close to breaking through to the next realm. His fortuitous encounters over the years have been astonishing, even surpassing those of the Woodcutter and Rong Chengshi.

It was a tiny, exquisitely beautiful baby, surrounded by the essence of the sun, moon, and stars. From the moment of its birth, it was extremely intelligent, able to understand human speech, cultivate itself, and absorb the essence of the ten directions.

The Black Emperor was overjoyed, his two large paws trembling. After so many years of waiting, he had finally obtained the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

Ye Yishui's birth was kept secret, and not many people knew about it.

With the birth of the successor of the Beginningless One, the Great Emperor's hidden plan began to reveal its brilliance. The Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir broke through the sky and used its original medicinal essence to baptize Ye Yishui.

Soon after, Yan Ming, Jiang Taixu, Jiang Yifei, Zixia, Ye Zi and others arrived, wanting to take a look and see the extraordinary nature of this physique with the power of the Holy Body and the innate Dao embryo bloodline.

At Yan Ming's invitation, the group moved to the Immortal Realm. The depths of the Immortal Ruins were peaceful, with white mist reaching up to people's knees. Even immortality pills jumped out. They were very curious about the child.

The earth shone with auspicious light, soaring straight into the sky. Yan Ming took out a divine pill, the Qilin Golden Pill that Laozi had refined for him, and gave it to Ye Yishui as a birth gift.

"Uncle..." The baby was very intelligent. He understood everything shortly after birth. He held the Qilin Pill in his two little hands. Strange phenomena filled the room, almost making people drunk.

Black Emperor's eyes darted around, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Ye Yishui's mother was resurrected from the sacrificial cliff.

"Why not arrange a marriage for him? Although there are no Chaos Bodies in the Heavenly Court, there are quite a few descendants of Ye Tong who possess pure solar blood," Yan Ming said casually, a faint smile on his face, appearing approachable.
