Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 103 Sideways Push
Fu Ling said in a deep voice, "The Giant Ruins have three important locations: the Dark Soul Land, the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and the True Land of Creation. These three places are where those three strange giants died. You probably came here to obtain the techniques of those three giants or fragments of the giants."

"However, I still have to remind you that you are not strong enough at your current level. You need to be at least a quasi-Immortal King to be qualified to find the treasure that no one has found in over a million years."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanming nodded thoughtfully. Those places were clearly the core area of ​​the ruins, a forbidden zone that even true immortals dared not easily set foot in.

Although his combat power is unmatched in his realm, he has not yet reached the quasi-immortal king level that Fu Ling mentioned. It is possible for him to become a true immortal immediately.

However, this would ruin everything. Xu Yuanming asked himself, having reached the end of his fourth life, was he really willing to stop here?
At the same time, even if he could kill those beings, so what?

Those places are clearly desperate places where even a Celestial King could perish if he entered. If the ruins were to reveal the former giants, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fu Ling smiled slightly and said, "You can explore this further when you become a Celestial King."

He continued, "Of course, some of these places are also humanitarian areas, where you might discover some hidden treasures."

Xu Yuan asked, "If it's the Dark Soul Land, the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, or the True Land of Creation—those are human realms—can I just go there now and break through them in one go?"

“Your courage is commendable, but do you really want to do this?” Fu Ling sighed. “With your strength, it’s certainly not a problem, but this might cause the giants to tilt their rules.”

"What are the terrifying aspects of places like the Dark Soul Land, the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and the True Land of Creation?" Xu Yuanming pressed.

Fu Ling used the Dark Soul Land as an example, saying, "In some of the major cities below it, each city has a cultivator at the True Immortal level in charge. They might be monsters from the ruins, or they might be powerful figures from the past who left behind."

"Moreover, in some large cities, there are many extraordinary geniuses, and even some who can trace back a trace of the true meaning of reincarnation. For example, my elder, tens of thousands of years ago, many people in my Heavenly Court formed an alliance to break through the human realm of the Sea of ​​Bitter Reincarnation, but they were all suppressed by that senior who traced back at that time. It was extremely terrifying."

“I suspect that some of my elders also retain a trace of this mark. These are the memories of that giant and the historical accumulation of this region, composed of both the living and the dead.”

Xu Yuanming remained unfazed.

This massive ruin was truly beyond his expectations; it was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

At least so far, he has traveled through countless worlds and realms, and there are not many people who can reach the level of True Immortal. However, there are many True Immortals and even beings at the Immortal King level here, which is equivalent to a great world.

As expected of a giant among the Immortal Kings, that being has already gone more than halfway on the path to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and ordinary Immortal Kings can't even withstand a single move from him.

Fu Lingdu solemnly stated, "The main reason is that some of the beings here do not come from the myriad realms, but from the heavens themselves. They also come here to train, which makes the ruins increasingly unpredictable. No one has been able to clear it away all this time, and now it is showing signs of becoming distorted."

The current situation in Heaven is actually not good; otherwise, why would they allow this place to develop unchecked? They would have already dispatched a powerful figure to suppress it.

Xu Yuanming smiled and said, "Because he is waiting for someone to arrive."

"Who?" Fu Ling asked reflexively.

Xu Yuanming pointed to himself and said calmly, "Who else but me?"

Fu Ling nodded and said.

"It seems you're ready to go. Then I'll have to see for myself whether the most outstanding person in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has met the Heavenly Emperor's expectations."

Xu Yuanming knew that the Heavenly Emperor the other party was referring to was not Shi Fan, the current ruler of the Heavenly Court, but Shi Fan's father, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor Shi Hao, who ruled alone for eternity and ascended to the heavens.

Even the most outstanding talents in an era would find it extremely difficult to overcome, but in his opinion, that was not enough.

He wanted to spar with a truly top-tier being, just like Chu Feng, who honed his own Dao by fighting against Luo. A supreme being who had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation was no ordinary being.

It is very simple for such beings to become immortals. The Immortal of the Mortal World is one path, and if the other party is willing, they can accumulate merit in this realm multiple times.

If Luo wanted to become an immortal in the mortal world, it would be very simple. The supreme beings would not be able to be tricked, and it would be easy for her in an era of Dharma decline where the Heavenly Dao has been severed.

Just then, Xu Yuanming suddenly saw a large group of powerful people flying over the distant mountains. These people were all very strong and outstanding in the field of humanity.

"Such a grand display, are they out of their minds? What if they attract the attention of the giants..."

He was puzzled, wondering what these people were up to. Could it be that something extraordinary had appeared in places like the Dark Soul Land, the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, or the True Land of Creation?

However, Xu Yuanming soon realized that something was wrong.

Not long after, another group of people arrived, including those who possessed the power of immortality, concealing their murderous aura.

"Most likely, it's not that they're crazy, but that they want you to go crazy."

Fu Ling continued, "It's very likely that you've been mistaken for someone else. Although I didn't make a move, the power laws within the Giant Ruins are extremely chaotic, which may have interrupted the power I used. They weren't here to find you, but rather to surround and kill me here."

Xu Yuanming immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

The two groups of people who arrived in succession were heading towards the dilapidated town they had visited earlier, judging from their direction.

"These people are going to surround and kill you?" He naturally didn't stay in one place, remaining on guard the whole time. "They just mistook me for you?"

Xu Yuanming smiled slightly. This was really interesting, much like him before he attained enlightenment.

No matter where I go, I'll be accused of a crime I didn't commit.

At this moment, he was not far from the other city.

Xu Yuanming's expression was rather unpleasant.

He could sense the constantly pulsating power of Yin and Yang. These were the people from the camp that first discovered he possessed the Yin-Yang Elixir. They had been chasing him relentlessly, and now, after just retreating, they were coming back again. However, this time, other factions followed suit.

The opponent was an evolved being at the True Immortal level, so he had to retreat. At the very least, he couldn't confront them head-on now. If he were to live another life, Xu Yuanming was absolutely confident that he could contend with beings at the Immortal level.

Xu Yuanming quickly left, stepping into the wilderness and heading towards the area where he had been besieged by those Supreme Realm demons earlier.

He planned to sneak around and find the right opportunity to hunt down this group.

“Actually, you should pay attention to the cultivation network. The myriad realms are incredibly vast. Even Immortal Kings would find it difficult to traverse them all, and there’s a high probability they’d get lost, like headless flies unable to return home. Let alone people like us who haven’t even broken through the human realm. They are no exception, so they need some special tools to maintain communication. Someone gave us a heads-up just now,” Fu Ling said on the way.

"What?" Fu Ling smiled. "Like a 'cell phone,' you should know what that is, right? Over millions of years, the technology of the nine heavens and ten earths couldn't have remained unchanged, could it?"

Xu Yuanming nodded: "I understand."

He wasn't surprised at all that Fu Ling knew about things like cell phones. He had encountered many technological beings when he traveled through the myriad worlds, just like the warships that strange race used for fishing.

"That's good. Here, this is the communication stone from the Giant's Ruins. You only need to spare a wisp of your consciousness to gain access." Fu Ling tossed it out.
Xu Yuanming quickly glanced at the document, his brow furrowed.

This is definitely a message released by a member of a powerful faction, viewing the matter from a supposedly detached perspective, and providing a precise prediction.

Furthermore, this person posted again on the Ruins Forum: "It's confirmed, all the major Daoist sects have mobilized and are besieging Fu Ling, the son of a Celestial King from the Heavenly Court! A grand drama is about to begin!" At the same time, the poster also sent this message to the Real World Star Sea.

Xu Yuanming traversed mountains and plains, shrinking the landscape to an inch, and hurried through the wilderness of the ruins.

Suddenly, Fu Ling's eyes lit up and he said, "Someone is looking for you."

"There's a signal even in the wilderness?" Xu Yuanming exclaimed in surprise.

"The communication stone I gave you was left behind by the great demon you killed. Your attack was terrifying; you shattered all of its assets. If it weren't for the rules of this place, the stone would have shattered on the spot. However, the communication stone was still severely damaged, and the signal is intermittent. I directly used their secret network within their secret network, which should be designed for a few Immortal King clans."

Fu Ling responded.

People who usually contact him are acquaintances of Xu Yuanming, but how could he possibly have acquaintances in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?
"Who is it?" he asked.

"Fu Ling! What happened to your voice and the principles of communication? Are you about to die? Hold on, we're almost there!"

The person on the other side was very surprised, not expecting that "Fu Ling" could change so much.

Xu Yuanming glanced at Fu Ling.

“Now you are Fu Ling, and I am just your little follower,” Fu Ling said with a light laugh.

Soon, the man revealed his identity: he was from the Heavenly Court and had been notified that Fu Ling was going to enter the ruins and was being besieged. They wanted him to hold out for a while longer.

"Tell me, how do we cooperate with you!" The Heavenly Court personnel had only been inside the ruins for a short time, but they were very straightforward and directly asked how to retaliate.

This person is no ordinary person either; his strength is far beyond that of a typical peak human being.

……

……

"He's not here. Didn't the people from the Yin-Yang Realm say that Fu Ling was driven to this area like a dog being chased?"

Yin Zhen spoke, his pupils gleaming with a blazing golden light like the sun.

"He has already escaped. Judging from the marks on the ground, the creatures in the city did indeed riot and chased him for tens of thousands of miles." Kai Zhen sensed an extremely powerful force in the vicinity.

Just as he finished speaking, people from another powerful clan arrived. The king used the power of the time rules to rewind time and saw many blurry figures.

One after another, geniuses from other great realms also arrived here. Some people contacted the people of the Demon Court through the secret network and asked them if they had left anyone to keep an eye on this place.
Yin Yang answered and responded: "Everyone, as I said before, I'm facing a tricky problem and am in dire need of manpower. Besides, with your methods, isn't it easy for you to track down a person's traces? If it really doesn't work, I'll send the Yin Yang Dog over to assist."

He quickly ended the call, his expression turning extremely serious. He said, "It's ready. Now. Let's get going before anyone disturbs us."

A supreme being spoke, his face filled with worry: "Are we really going to the Dark Soul Land? That place is no different from other places; it's not something we can handle right now. We'd be wiped out at any moment!"

“Once we get there, we won’t be able to go in. The giants inside will instantly kill me upon sensing my presence, and it might even trigger greater repercussions. Anyone who lets us in… might die!”

Not far away, there was a creature that looked to be about fifteen years old, with an extremely solemn expression.

This is a supreme immortal, not far from becoming a quasi-immortal king. He is extremely powerful and can be considered 'truly invincible' here if he doesn't go to those rule-bound areas.

The Dark Soul Land is chaotic, teeming with all sorts of monsters, and is vast in scale.

There are very powerful creatures there; even the most outstanding talents in the Heavenly Court need to rely on each other to survive.

Yin Yang shook his head: "It's all or nothing. If I want to truly reach the pinnacle in the realm of humanity, I must go."

"Moreover, such an opportunity is rare. All those Daoist temples have been cleared out, and now that no one is bothering us, we can give it a try. If we can truly turn the former supreme beings of our Yin-Yang Great Realm, who once possessed the potential of Immortal Kings, into our own hands, we will be able to travel freely in this region in the future!"

Yin Yang smiled bitterly.

Millions of years ago, their clan's unparalleled prodigy perished there.

The Yin-Yang Realm has always made "arrangements" for disciples who enter the ruins, and for this purpose, the disciples have been specially trained in a special skill, which leaves a mark on their bodies.

If such a person falls into the ruins and becomes a being corrupted by the laws of the giants, when these later generations of the Yin-Yang Realm encounter them again, activating the mark might allow them to control them.

If this succeeds, the Yin-Yang Realm may very well be able to access one of the three forbidden zones of the Dark Soul Land!

Yin Yang's actions weren't impulsive. They had been operating at the site for many years when they unexpectedly unearthed fragments of a giant object, thus gaining control of many outposts.

Each stronghold contains, to varying degrees, fragments of the rules.

If obtained and refined, it can interfere with the actions of various monsters in the city.

He was going on this adventure precisely because he possessed fragments of the giant's laws.

A middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Fragments of laws might be able to interfere with ordinary monsters in the city, but they probably won't be effective against monsters of that level. Don't forget, our prominent figure in the Yin-Yang Realm died at the hands of someone of the same level. There should be other, even more powerful monsters there."

"No, I have received the latest feedback."
