Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 106 Back to the Past
Guided by some inexplicable force, when Jiang Bai opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, not the stone chamber that connected the past and present.

Looking at the surging waves, the ocean is made up of one world after another.

Looking down at the embankment standing somewhere in the distance.

Looking at another prosperous realm, there is a super world that simultaneously possesses the aura of the primordial ancient world and the immortal world of later generations.

At this time, they were all incredibly prosperous, blessed with divine fortune, and contained numerous immortals and celestial kings.

“A cultivation method I’ve never seen before, a figure I’ve never seen before, yet it has the aura of the heavens, and it hasn’t been rejected by this ancient history. How peculiar.”

A towering figure descended from the heavens, leaving a trail of footprints on the embankment before arriving beside Jiang Bai.

"..." Jiang Bai wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything, which made him frown.

"Oh, you carry the aura of that mysterious place. Did you come from there?" the Footprint Emperor chuckled.

As the ruler of all the heavens in this era, he knew a great deal.

“The methods of cultivation have all changed in the future. It seems I have failed as well,” the Footprint Emperor said again.

Jiang Bai continued to urge the power within his body, wanting to speak, to communicate, to say something, but he was firmly restrained.
This made Jiang Bai feel a sense of frustration. What was going on? In the Perfect World, the Desolate Emperor could travel to other times and spaces and ancient history through the Land of Transcendence and cultivate there. How come he couldn't even speak properly here?

"Even that mysterious place shouldn't be able to allow you to travel through it completely. It seems that your future achievements are very high, allowing you to travel through ancient history without being rejected."

The Footprint Emperor looked at Jiang Bai's expression and spoke slowly, bit by bit.

Jiang Bai's eyes calmed down, and he stopped struggling. The other party was a quasi-Immortal Emperor, who could see further than him, and what he said was most likely true.

"Hmm, you came to this era, probably to find something."

"So, I'd venture a guess, what I wanted to do has failed. It seems the enemy was terrifying, surviving into your era."

Jiang Bai had mixed feelings; the Footprint Emperor had guessed right and wrong at the same time.

"By the way, are you here to find your comrades?" Footprint Emperor suddenly asked.

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up instantly, and the Footprint Emperor also smiled.

Suddenly, the River of Time appeared beneath their feet. The footprints looked into the future, which was shrouded in a hazy gray. They looked very far into the distance before they could see a figure that resembled Jiang Bai.

As the river of time dissipated, the Footprint Emperor chuckled softly: "Fellow Daoist, it seems you are very, very far away from me."

Yes, Jiang Bai smiled bitterly to himself.

The Footprint Emperor said with a deep look in his eyes, "The tragedy is far from me, which proves that the enemy has continued to exist. And you have come to find your comrades, which proves that you have found a way to resurrect in the future."

"And a being at the level of a Celestial King can be resurrected with even a wisp of their primordial spirit."

"Then let's pull off a surprise attack."

The Footprint Emperor conjured a stone carving with his own image on it. Under Jiang Bai's gaze, he hurled it into this era, into that magnificent world that simultaneously possessed the aura of the Immortal Realm and the Primordial Ancient Realm.

"Even if the world collapses in the future, as long as you can find me, I will still have a chance to be resurrected."

"However, I will still leave other backup plans, fellow Daoist. My life depends on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Footprint Emperor's figure headed into the depths of the Boundary Sea, humming softly to himself.

At this moment, the Footprint Emperor is like a lonely king, moving forward alone, with unwavering determination.

An inexplicable power emerged, and Jiang Bai's figure began to blur. Jiang Bai saw an earth-shattering battle taking place on the other side of the Boundary Sea.

The Footprint Emperor fought alone against three emperors, his blood staining the ultimate ancient land red, leaving only a ball of imperial fire to escape. Before leaving, Jiang Bai saw a blade appear above the heavens, which slashed down fiercely, instantly shattering all the myriad paths of the heavens, and countless immortals lay dead within the heavens.

An inexplicable force affected Jiang Bai's senses, and when he regained his senses, he saw a desolate wasteland.

In this vast universe, every realm is covered and suppressed by the dead Immortal Kings and the Great Dao of True Immortals, making cultivation extremely difficult. The original cultivation methods have also been broken and missing.

Suddenly, Jiang Bai found that he could move around and walk around.

"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Bai was a little confused, but he still began to stroll through the heavens.

Soon, Jiang Bai saw the immortal realm of this time and space. It was a great realm with cultivators, but there wasn't a single true immortal.

Beside the Immortal Realm lies another great realm, and the two exude a shared aura.

Jiang Bai tried to pass on the cultivation method, but he couldn't, which made Jiang Bai realize that he was still being restricted.

Soon after, Jiang Bai encountered a three-legged golden crow. It was weak, only at the Supreme Realm, but it was very ambitious. It even gathered a group of friends to study the creation of magic and wanted to create a Heavenly Court.

Jinwu believed that continuing to cultivate the methods of the previous era was useless; he would still die and be destroyed by the great enemy. In order to live on, he had to create new methods and open up new paths.

Perhaps it truly possessed the aura of a chosen one, for this golden crow actually researched a new method and spread it throughout the heavens, thus ascending to the top of the Immortal King realm and entering the realm of Emperor Light Immortal King.

Soon after, the old Golden Crow Immortal King saw Jiang Bai's figure and also sensed the aura of the ancient and modern land.

The old Golden Crow Immortal King didn't say anything, but began to frantically deduce. Somehow, he deduced the stone carving of the Footprint Emperor, which was filled with the aura of the Footprint Emperor.

"Are they coming from the future to find their comrades?" the old Golden Crow Immortal King said quietly, based on information he had obtained from the stone carving.

Jiang Bai suddenly realized that it was a message left by the Footprint Emperor.

The Old Golden Crow Immortal King and his comrades also left behind a series of stone carvings.

When the stone carving was completed, and no cause and effect were generated, the old Golden Crow Immortal King sighed, "Just as I thought."

These stone carvings were buried in the Chaos Sea. The Old Golden Crow Immortal King left a message in his clan: do not offend the people of the Primordial Ancient Realm, and guard the place that connects the past and present.

Suddenly, an inexplicable power reappeared, and Jiang Bai's figure dimmed. He saw the Old Golden Crow Immortal King and others stepping into the Boundary Sea together, destroying an ancient temple of guidance.

The scene flashed by quickly, and Jiang Bai saw the Heavenly Court founded by the old Golden Crow Immortal King and his friends being destroyed and the once glorious Golden Crow Clan becoming an ordinary Immortal King clan in the Immortal Realm.

Next, Jiang Bai went to other time and space, mainly the Primordial Ancient Realm and the Immortal Realm, as well as... other realms and burial grounds.

In a certain era, he met the Burial Master, a kind-hearted but somewhat cowardly person. After touching the ultimate ancient land and guessing what was going on, he chose to hide and ignored Jiang Bai.

In another era, Jiang Bai met a butcher, a medicine seller, and a chicken farmer.

Those who raise chickens are more courageous than those who bury their ancestors; they directly seek to explore the ultimate ancient land.

During the intervals of this journey through time, Jiang Bai attempted to carve the figures of the Footprint Emperor, the Old Golden Crow Immortal King, the Butcher, the Medicine Seller, and others onto the Myriad Soul Banner.

Apart from the Footprint Emperor, the rest succeeded, giving Jiang Bai another means of dealing with enemies.

In another flash, Jiang Bai encountered the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who had also traveled back to the past through the Land of Transcendence and was walking the mortal path of immortality, in a great realm of a certain Dharma-ending Age.

This time, Jiang Bai was able to speak.

"There is still hope for the future. If we persevere, we can leave behind stone carvings."
