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

Chapter 169: Changes Have Not Changed

After parting ways with the Desolate Emperor, Jiang Bai went to find Ye Fan, whose true form had already advanced to the Immortal Emperor level.

The reason he hadn't been able to "resurrect" through the Cemetery of Gods and Demons before was because he was researching a method to break through.

In this life, Ye Fan became the fastest to break through among the trio.

Through Ye Fan, Jiang Bai also learned the whereabouts of Wu Shi and the Ruthless Man's true form.

The ruthless woman still went to the Bridge of Life and Death, intending to use it as a stepping stone to break through her limitations.

Wu Shi then devoted himself to cultivation in the ancient realm where Jiang Bai resurrected the members of the Shrouding the Heavens, serving as a backup plan to support the two.

The other people's true forms also cultivate in the ancient realm, only occasionally venturing out.

The first thing Ye Fan did upon meeting Jiang Bai was to have Jiang Bai assess his strength, as he was preparing to hunt down the Mysterious Immortal Emperor.

"I plan to study the essence of the strange Immortal Emperor's power, which may allow me to break through to the next stage as soon as possible."

"We can't keep holding others back."

"If you can kill the Strange Immortal Emperor forever, you'll probably be able to break through to the Sacrifice Dao." Jiang Bai told Ye Fan with a smile about how the Strange Immortal Emperor was unkillable.

Like the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan showed no fear or dread, remaining remarkably calm and even subtly excited.

For Ye Fan, this was also a way forward; what he feared most was having no way forward.

However, Jiang Bai still went with Ye Fan when he hunted the strange Immortal Emperor.

That strange Immortal Emperor is currently working on a revival in another ancient realm beyond the heavens and the myriad realms, preparing to cultivate a "Jiang Bai" as the God Emperor had said.

Looking at the experiences of "Jiang Bai," created by the strange race, Jiang Bai's expression was extremely strange.

Because the created Jiang Bai completely imitated the experiences of the "mastermind Jiang Bai," everything was incredibly lucky, as if he had a cheat code.

"They're treating my bad luck as a failure," Jiang Bai laughed.

After Ye Fan successfully captured the strange Immortal Emperor and forced him into the depths of the heavens without any problems, Jiang Bai headed towards the ancient realm where the Perfect Clan was hiding.

This is a magnificent ancient realm, created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Here, the complete laws of heaven and earth exist, and in the center of the world stands a World Tree.

Willow God, the Celestial Emperor Luo, the Butcher, the Ten-Crown King, and others all live here.

Here, Jiang Bai received a warm welcome and chatted with the Perfect World fans about life and various other topics.

He personally guided the Perfect Clan in their cultivation, sharing with them the cultivation methods created by the Emperors of the Heavens, the Undying Emperor, and others, giving them an opportunity to learn from them.

As for the alchemy method that Jiang Bai created himself, Jiang Bai felt that this path might only be suitable for him.

After all, where can you find another person who has reached the ultimate goal of merging with the Dao?

It is no exaggeration to say that the alchemy method could only benefit Jiang Bai alone.

In the Perfect Ancient Realm, Jiang Bai and Liu Shen reminisced about their past and severed the karmic ties between them.

Actually, there's nothing much between the two of them. It's just that when Jiang Bai traveled back to the past using the place that connects the past and present, he preached under the willow tree before the Dao was attained, thus helping the Daoist.

Furthermore, the two fought side by side for a period of time during the late Xian Gu period.

Therefore, the method to sever karmic ties is quite simple. Jiang Bai asked for a copy of the Willow God Technique and also bestowed upon the Willow God an incomplete alchemy technique.

But afterwards, Liu Shen stared at Jiang Bai and said seriously, "You are gradually losing your emotions."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm fine, I feel great right now."

After a moment of silence, Liu Shen spoke again: "Huang told me about the other Jiang Bai that you told him about." "Huang has a guess: the other you actually knew what the end point of your alchemy was a long time ago, and you were able to break through it long ago, but you stopped yourself and entrusted everything to you."

"Because Huang guessed that the other Jiang Bai thought that if the final step of the alchemy was successful, then he would no longer be human."

The implication was clear: Jiang Bai was taking the final step in the alchemy process.

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and said with a hint of speechlessness, "I deny it. I've just been free lately. I'm not acting like a human."

"For example, I resurrected many people and set up many traps."

"If I were truly emotionless and inhuman, I wouldn't have done these things. I would have already merged with the Dao, become the strongest being, and wiped out the entire eerie plateau with a wave of my hand."

Liu Shen's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally she said softly, "Very good, it's confirmed. You've made yourself your trump card."

Jiang Bai was speechless; it seemed he had been tricked by Huang and Liu Shen.

“If you don’t want to be fooled, you won’t be. Don’t blame us.” Liu Shen said that she could see through Jiang Bai’s thoughts at a glance.

"The King of Men in my memory was a being who plotted for eternity, whose mind was terrifyingly sinister, and whose methods were terrifyingly ruthless."

"How could I possibly be tricked out of my knowledge by just a few words?"

"All I can say is, you want to be scammed."

After talking with Liu Shen, Jiang Bai left the world of the Perfect Crowd at lightning speed, afraid that these people would take advantage of his good temper.

When they returned to the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, a million years had passed in the heavens, and the heavens had entered a new round of great war.

After all, over the past million years, the combat power of the various realms has accumulated to a terrifying level.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperors include the divided souls of Ye Fan, Wu Shi, Ruthless Man, Footprint Emperor, and others, as well as Emperor Venerable, Undying Heavenly Emperor, Duan De, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, Moral Heavenly Venerable, Fuxi Emperor, Taiyin Human Emperor, and so on.

There are also a large number of immortal kings who have created their own cultivation methods.

The situation had reached a point where the strange race could no longer tolerate it, and they began to increase their military strength to attack this area, preparing for a grand sacrifice.

To completely end Ye Fan's generation.

After confirming Jiang Bai's return, Ye Fan informed the divided soul in charge on this side and then led his men to rush towards the Soul River on the other side of the Boundary Sea.

Sitting in a small house in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, Jiang Bai watched the live broadcast.

Ye Fan and his companions fought their way through the Boundary Sea, into the Soul River and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit. In this life, they attacked two places in one go.

In order to prevent Bai from sacrificing himself this time, Jiang Bai saw that the Desolate Emperor, Liu Shen and others also took action to restrain the Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan in the heavens.

Without the support of the mysterious Immortal Emperor, and only with the rescue from the other two major outposts, it was not enough to stop Ye Fan and his group from cutting through the Soul River and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit.

Even after Ye Fan and his group successfully fought their way through the Soul River and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, the strange army still had the energy and support to fight and retreat.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of an ancestor who brought about a four-on-one battle, repelling the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and personally presiding over this grand ceremony, Ye Fan and the others would have almost destroyed the four outposts.

After the mysterious progenitor personally presided over the grand ceremony, Jiang Bai led the Divine Demon Cemetery into hiding.

Under Jiang Bai's watchful gaze, the Primordial Ancient Realm, which had refined the entire universe into one great realm, completely collapsed.

The vast ancient world was reduced to ruins, with only one mortal after another surviving.

Ye Fan's split soul and the Emperor, who were at the front line of the battle, all died in battle. Even though they tried desperately to escape, their struggles were futile.

Only a few people, such as Hei Huang's split soul, Duan De's split soul, and Gu Qing, were spared.

Yes, they were let go.
