Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 117 The Strange Little Taoist Priest

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm instantly gained some insight.

No wonder the former supreme beings and ancient emperors were willing to cut off their own lives and transform into the dark supreme beings that everyone scorns and hates.

If they cannot find a way forward and are surrounded by darkness, what is the point of cultivating to the highest level?
Even if one lives for another ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even thirty thousand years, in the end one can only die helplessly, as if one had never existed in this world.

Fortunately, there is a supreme ruler in the world.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was fortunate to have met the Overlord Heavenly Venerable. After attaining enlightenment, he immediately came to visit the Overlord Heavenly Venerable.

In retrospect, he really did make the right choice.

If it weren't for the Overlord dispelling the fog for him, he might have fallen into the same slump as those dark sovereigns.

Thinking that he would one day follow in the footsteps of the Overlord and embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That heartfelt joy, mixed with supreme divine power, spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, causing all things in the world to wail in sorrow.

Many people felt the genuine laughter of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, but no one knew why.

After a long time, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm finally calmed down and cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Ping'an: "Thank you for your guidance, Heavenly Venerable Overlord. I have finally figured it out."

"Back then, the world underwent a tremendous change, making cultivation impossible. However, our predecessors and sages carved out a bloody path for everyone, allowing us to embark on the path of cultivation as well."

"They have already tried their best, and we cannot let them down."

"The best way to repay our predecessors and sages is to cultivate diligently so that one day we can ascend from the mortal world to become immortals and continue the broken path."

Rumble.

As if he had attained enlightenment or made a vow to uphold the Great Dao, the entire world seemed to respond, and a series of booming sounds erupted.

Looking at the location of the Heavenly Heart Mark, a series of astonishing roars emanated, the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao was endless, and countless raindrops of light fell down, flowing everywhere, allowing all living beings in heaven and earth to feel the benefits.

Many practitioners were bewildered by this strange phenomenon, not knowing why it was happening.

Some even believe that the Overlord may have lived a new life and is bestowing blessings upon us.

Think about it, how many years has it been since we've seen such a powerful and terrifying phenomenon?

How similar this is to how, after the Overlord attained enlightenment, he transformed the power of faith in the mortal world into blessings for all living beings.

Ultimately, no one saw the Heavenly Lord appear in the world.

After the countless showers of light fell, things quickly calmed down, and the Heavenly Heart Mark disappeared, hidden in some unknown dimension of space and time.

The heavens and earth were abuzz with excitement. They celebrated as if it were the New Year, for a long time, and solemnly recorded it in history.

After listening to Xiao Ping'an's guidance, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm felt as if he had been enlightened, gaining incredible insights.

He felt more powerful than ever before, and vaguely seemed to have entered a strange state.

He felt he had to immediately go into seclusion and cultivate himself, perhaps he would gain amazing insights.

He immediately exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Ping'an and then flew away.

Xiao Ping'an looked at the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, which was shining with nine-colored divine light, and then tore through the void and disappeared.

Xiao Ping'an only withdrew his gaze after the ripples from the Great Dao of Space had disappeared.

Actually, he had some insights that he didn't share with the Ancient Silkworm Emperor, because one must eat one bite at a time, and saying too much now would be bad for the Ancient Silkworm Emperor.

If Xiao Ping'an were to tell the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor about those strange Immortal Emperors and strange progenitors now, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor might either treat it as a joke or as a myth or legend, or he might be so terrified that his Dao heart would collapse.

Therefore, Xiao Ping'an kept his mouth shut and did not tell everyone about that incredibly powerful and strange race.

After all, the little black creature that parasitized the Emperor almost turned the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths into ashes. If they were told that this little black creature was just a small Karami from a strange race, wouldn't everyone be terrified?

So Xiao Ping'an, in this world, picked and chose, explaining his theory of immortality to those powerful figures who had the potential to ascend to immortality.

While it cannot be guaranteed that everyone can become an immortal in the mortal world, there will always be lucky people who manage to do so.

In the original text, even fools like Zhang Wenchang and Li Ruoyu, who were cultivators, were able to become Great Emperors with Ye Fan's help.

Pang Bo, who originally seemed unremarkable, actually became a quasi-Immortal Emperor in the final battle of the Sacred Ruins, which is quite unbelievable.

And that big black dog, its strength almost caught up with its master, the Great Emperor Wushi.

Fortunately, after the big black dog became a quasi-Immortal Emperor, Emperor Wushi became a peak Immortal Emperor. They almost succeeded in the Dao sacrifice, thus preserving their last bit of dignity.

If we were to be overtaken by the big black dog, that would be a huge joke.

What does this mean?
This shows that some people with mediocre talent can still eventually reach incredible heights.

Therefore, Xiao Ping'an was happy to select a group of strong individuals and help them embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

He has a long lifespan now, and he will surely live to be reborn a sixth time.

There is plenty of time to travel the world, to look down upon all things, and to witness the rise of great talents throughout history.

Once the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm embarks on the path of immortality in the mortal world, he will inevitably discover the dangers involved, and he will certainly need to consult him extensively in the future.

However, in the original text, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, as the number one homebody and the Emperor of Lying Down, certainly had enough talent and comprehension.

Even without the guidance of the Overlord, he would likely be able to rise to become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future by relying on his innate racial talent and his ability to lie in a corpse.

However, Xiao Ping'an's inspiration was not entirely useless; it helped him avoid detours and find his goal and direction when he was walking in the dark.

It will surely be able to transform at an even faster pace in the future.

In the future, the divine silkworm will undergo ten transformations, or even eleven or eighteen transformations.

The original text says that when the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was alive, his lifespan was frighteningly long, causing almost all the peerless geniuses to despair. Presumably, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor must have lived for no less than 100,000 years.

Now, with Xiao Ping'an's inspiration and guidance, I'm sure I'll be able to live even longer.

As for whether it will block the path to enlightenment for those unparalleled geniuses, that's not something Xiao Ping'an needs to worry about.

After all, if you're not good enough, you're not good enough; there's no room for forcing it.

Thinking that he had been cultivating and comprehending the Dao for so long, Xiao Ping'an felt that he should go out for a stroll again.

Exploring the world and experiencing all things is a joyful thing in itself.

As for the Chaos Celestial Venerable who was in the Great Dream of Eternity, experiencing the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, he did not disturb him.

Aside from visiting the Undying Mountain to see the fleshy ball during the Undying Emperor's transformation, Xiao Ping'an didn't pay much attention to anything else.

I never imagined that the method for the Immortal Emperor's transformation would take so long.

However, considering his long path of transformation, it's understandable that he hadn't even become a mortal immortal by the time of Ye Fan's era.

After all, the path to immortality in the mortal world is extremely time-consuming, and without the guidance of predecessors, one can only explore everything on one's own.

Although the Undying Emperor had been possessed by Xiao Ping'an's demonic seed and had become another Xiao Ping'an, the Xiao Ping'an who had read the trilogy.

However, it will still take a considerable amount of time for this immortal emperor to transform into a mortal immortal.

It might be much faster, but it will probably take a lot of time.

Perhaps even before Ye Fan's era, one could ascend to immortality in the mortal world.

The Overlord left the Underworld, and his incomparably powerful Heavenly Blood Overlord dominated all the heavens, sweeping across the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Heaven and earth wept, all things prostrating themselves at their feet.

The numerous quasi-emperors and emperors immediately sensed the aura of the Overlord, and their faces all showed expressions of shock.

They had no idea that the Overlord was still alive.

No one expected that the aura of the Overlord would be so powerful and terrifying. For so many tens of thousands of years, he has not cut himself once, and his aura is still perfect.

People seemed to see, at an infinite height, not only the proud figure of the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, but also an even more powerful and terrifying figure standing on the Heavenly Heart Mark.

That feeling of being above all the heavens and myriad paths, and that aura, was so terrifying.

Although the Overlord had transformed into a chaotic form, his unique Heavenly Overlord Blood made him feel distinctive and clear to almost everyone.

After all, this miraculous bloodline suppressed almost all other bloodlines when it attained enlightenment, causing a sensation that attracted all the long-established forces to make a grand entrance.

Now, sensing that terrifying bloodline aura again, although it no longer suppressed everyone, it was still chilling. "The Overlord is still alive!"

"The Overlord has reappeared."

The Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, having broken the Heavenly Heart Mark and traversed the myriad paths of heaven and earth, was already astonishing enough. But the fact that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable is still alive makes it even more astonishing.

Even the lurking Dark Sovereigns turned their gazes toward the Overlord.

At this time, Ba Tianzun was still incredibly young, around twenty years old, with jet-black hair that was glistening with every strand.

His body was filled with overwhelming blood energy and vitality, completely different from those dark sovereigns who exuded a putrid stench.

It's hard to imagine that he has lived for over 100,000 years in his fifth incarnation.

After sensing Xiao Ping'an's aura, the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone all nodded to him or conveyed goodwill; no one dared to bare their teeth at him.

Yes, the Overlord has already killed enough Dark Sovereigns. If anyone is truly blind to his power, Xiao Ping'an wouldn't mind using drastic measures.

He tore through the void and then embarked on the ancient starry road.

Looking at the divine cities he had personally crafted and the pure lands he had created, where people were now gradually multiplying and thriving, he was very satisfied.

After all, although these things were meant for those peerless geniuses who embarked on the ancient path of the stars, most of these peerless geniuses ultimately failed to prove themselves as emperors.

Some of them faded into obscurity, some returned to their original hometowns, while others thrived and multiplied along the ancient road to the stars.

Every divine city and every pure land that exists today was personally created back then.

Each place has its own unique charm and imprint of the Great Dao, and each place appears sacred and majestic, which is truly enviable.

Xiao Ping'an left behind many lineages in this world, such as the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, the descendants who migrated to Ziwei Star, Beidou Star and Feixing Star, as well as the Xiao clan.

And some who migrated to Earth were left only as descendants and members of their clan.

A powerful figure who should have been gradually forgotten over time has become increasingly prosperous because his descendants have produced a succession of geniuses.

This also made the reputation of the Overlord more and more renowned.

Everyone who embarks on the ancient starry road will admire the Overlord to the point of prostration, and almost everyone marvels at the great merit of the Overlord regarding the treasure left to them.

Although he has not appeared in the world for tens of thousands of years, legends about him circulate throughout the world, and they have become more and more fantastical with each passing year.

Xiao Ping'an continued along the ancient starry road.

Sometimes he openly revealed his identity, and other times he would disappear as if he were invisible, visiting a city without even the locals noticing him.

Along the way, he would immediately and meticulously repair any formations or damaged areas deep within.

Even in those pure lands, Xiao Ping'an recreated the world, making them more suitable for cultivation and giving birth to more rare and precious materials.

Those who saw Xiao Ping'an were all shocked by how he transformed the world and repaired the ancient star road.

He continued onward until he reached the depths of the ancient starry road.

I saw a strange person here, and after some deduction, I was quite surprised.

This person's appearance is exactly the same as the legendary portrait of Lingbao Tianzun.

Thinking back to those days, he once took the continent that Lingbao Tianzun's altar had been built on, and unexpectedly discovered that Lingbao Tianzun's altar later turned into a relic.

He placed the relic in the Yellow Springs of the underworld, and later, when he was undergoing metamorphosis there, he discovered that the relic had vanished.

No matter how they tried to deduce it, they could not find any trace of the relics.

Unexpectedly, such a strange person was discovered on this ancient road in the starry sky.

It was as if Lingbao Tianzun had been reincarnated and reborn.

. . . .

"It's really strange. I've been venturing along the ancient starry road, and now I'm blocked by a strange sea of ​​lightning. No matter what I do, I can't move forward. Why is that?"

That place was a chaotic sea of ​​lightning. Back then, Xiao Ping'an threw all the golden sea of ​​lightning from the Emperor's place, as well as the Five Elements Sea of ​​Lightning, Yin Yang Sea of ​​Lightning, and Chaotic Sea of ​​Lightning that he had found, onto the Ancient Starry Road in order to train those peerless geniuses.

This chaotic sea of ​​lightning was vast and boundless, with surging waves that were awe-inspiring.

Every wave there contains chaotic divine thunder capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

One after another, divine mountains appeared and disappeared in the chaotic sea of ​​thunder, shrouded in mist and exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Legend has it that as long as one crosses this chaotic sea of ​​thunder, one can reach a place where many dark sovereigns and ancient emperors have left their Dao imprints.

There are also the Great Dao imprints left by the Overlord there.

If one could comprehend it, it would be something every exceptional genius would crave.

In this era, although the success of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor in attaining enlightenment has silenced and disheartened many peerless geniuses, leading them to be sealed away and left for future generations, not every peerless genius is like this.

At this time, the Ancient Starry Sky Road was not closed, and there were still peerless geniuses adventuring on this road.

This young Taoist priest, who had given himself the Taoist name Tongtian, didn't know where he came from. It seemed as if he had crawled out of the ground. He himself wasn't sure.

In any case, he was an unparalleled genius in cultivation, whose cultivation speed was as fast as a rocket, which amazed everyone.

Many people lamented that if the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor hadn't attained enlightenment first, and if this young Taoist priest hadn't been born so late, he might have been able to compete with the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor.

But there are no "what ifs".

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm has already successfully attained enlightenment, so the others are no match for him.

In this rare golden age, one after another, peerless geniuses have traversed the ancient starry path, successfully crossed the chaotic sea of ​​thunder, and comprehended numerous supreme and ancient emperor imprints.

The Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was able to defeat all his opponents and become the only one of his kind in the world; he was truly fortunate.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, who broke the Heavenly Heart Seal and walked the myriad paths, will surely dominate the world for tens of thousands of years to come.

However, the extraordinary talents who emerged later did not succumb to fate; they continued to strive on the ancient path through the starry sky.

The final 108 levels are the most special.

This is a dungeon that only geniuses with the potential to attain enlightenment can attempt.

Ordinary geniuses who arrive here would not be able to cross the Chaotic Thunder Sea, let alone find this place.

Those peerless geniuses who once rivaled the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, if they survived, would at least be at the peak of the Great Saint realm.

Since the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor attained enlightenment, no one has been able to cross the Chaotic Thunder Sea for a very long time, let alone comprehend the ancient emperor's imprint there.

But at this moment, the young Taoist priest named Tongtian was wearing a purple Taoist robe, and what he was holding in his hand was actually the Zhuxian Sword, one of the Four Zhuxian Swords of Lingbao Tianzun.

Although the other three swords and the array diagram of Lingbao Tianzun were not present, anyone who saw that sword knew it was no ordinary weapon.

At this time, Tongtian's cultivation was also astonishing, having actually reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Looking at his face now, he looks like a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor and vitality. It is clear that he is still in his prime and has a long time before he enters old age.

However, this ancient starry road is restricted by the rules of the Great Dao, and only young, unparalleled geniuses can cross this chaotic sea of ​​lightning.

This makes one wonder if this young Taoist priest named Tongtian, who is already at the quasi-Emperor level, is still unable to cross this chaotic sea of ​​lightning.

He tried to force his way in, but the place was as if the gates were closed, and they resolutely refused to let him in.

This surprised and angered the young Taoist priest, who frowned as he pondered various solutions.

Finally, unwilling to give up, he tried various methods to cross that chaotic sea of ​​lightning.

However, there was an invisible, powerful barrier that prevented him from breaking through.

Even with the Zhuxian Sword, he still couldn't break through there.

It was like an independent world, an independent universe, where heaven and man were separated. Although one could clearly see the divine mountain in the chaotic sea of ​​thunder, it was beyond reach.

With a helpless and distressed expression, he said, "What's going on? I've heard that even Great Sages can cross the Chaos Thunder Sea and comprehend the imprints left by the Ancient Emperors and Supreme Beings, but I've become a Quasi-Emperor, yet I can't cross that Thunder Sea and enter the Immortal Mountain."

The Immortal Execution Sword in his hand emitted a terrifying blood-red light, ringing out as if it were protesting his injustice.
