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

Chapter 19 The Transaction from the Great Accomplishment Holy Body

The resources within the Kunlun Mountains are indeed abundant. It truly deserves its reputation as a sacred mountain in the universe, and it is no wonder that it was able to support a formidable forbidden zone back then.

Jiang Bai hadn't been wandering around for long when he came across the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the White Tiger Immortal Medicine, and the Half-Step Immortal Medicine, He Shou Wu.

And with the help of three cunning medicine enthusiasts, they quickly found the ingredients to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

And so, Jiang Bai and Wan Hun Fan settled down in Kunlun Mountain. Wan Hun Fan absorbed the energy that Kunlun Mountain had painstakingly collected, while Jiang Bai used the medicinal herbs nurtured by Kunlun Mountain to refine various elixirs.

Benefiting from the experience absorbed from the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, Jiang Bai created various types of items that could extend the lifespan of the Supreme Being.

Such as the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the Nine-Turn Immortal Elixir, etc.

However, it had little effect on Jiang Bai and could only be used to heal injuries.

In his spare time, Jiang Bai would also use the Medicine King to cook. Occasionally, he would meet cultivators who came to collect herbs on the outskirts of Kunlun Mountain, and Jiang Bai would chat with them for a few minutes.

From the conversation, I learned that there was a rumor circulating in the universe that Jiang Bai might cut himself into a forbidden zone of life.

Many humans hope that Jiang Bai will establish a forbidden zone that will last for a long time, and human cultivators are willing to contribute their life essence to Jiang Bai to prolong their lives.

Some even said they could provide Jiang Bai with the power of faith, allowing him to create a divine self.

In this way, Jiang Bai could claim immortality and, by believing in the god, could continuously work outside to protect the human race.

"Don't you care about my opinion regarding the King of Humanity's faith?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask the cultivator he was talking to.

The young Qi cultivator named Chu Yunzi chuckled and said, "That's why no one has dared to make suggestions to the Human King through the Human King's statue so far."

Jiang Bai laughed; it was quite amusing.

Then Izumoko told Jiang Bai some interesting things about the universe.

Although there was no struggle for the Emperor's Path in this life, a Saint Body and a Hegemon Body emerged. The two fought from Saints to Quasi-Emperors and agreed to fight a decisive battle against the fiftieth city of the human race after they achieved great success.

"People in the universe expect the Holy Covenant to win, as they believe this lineage is righteous. However, based on past experience, people are not very optimistic about the Holy Covenant."

Izumo sighed helplessly; it was clear that he also hoped the Holy Body lineage would prevail.

In his later years, such a king could still lend a hand with his Great Accomplished Holy Body.

If it's a super armor, the opponent will most likely just stand by and watch.

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. In the several battles between the Holy Body and the Overlord Body during the Ancient Era, the Overlord Body usually won more often."

Jiang Bai felt that this was related to the fact that the Overlord would challenge the old Holy Body, while the young Holy Body rarely challenged the Overlord.

In the original work, the Overlord Blood Supreme named Canglan from the Ancestral Star of Overlord Body was like this, killing a Saint Body who was old and weak and had reached the Great Completion Saint Body stage.

However, there was retribution for this. As soon as Ye Fan appeared, he put away the compassion of the Holy Body and slaughtered all the powerful figures of the Tyrant Blood Ancestral Star.

For hundreds of thousands of years to come, we won't hear any news about how awesome the Overlord Body is.

"The hatred between them is something outsiders cannot interfere with, and no matter the outcome, they will not allow outsiders to get involved."

"Moreover, I think that instead of expecting the protection of the Holy Body, you should work hard to cultivate yourself. That way, you can accomplish whatever you want to do on your own."

Faced with Jiang Bai's words of comfort, Chu Yunzi gave a wry smile: "Senior, how could I possibly fight against a Supreme Being like the Great Accomplished Holy Body if I didn't have a special physique?"

"I hope the Holy Corps wins because I hope he can help the King of Men in his later years."

Chu Yunzi believed that with the Great Accomplished Holy Body's lifespan of ten thousand years, and by taking another elixir of immortality, he could completely help the Human King through his later years of reckoning.

Jiang Bai was touched by the unexpected kindness.

Years of betrayal had sharpened his senses, allowing him to perceive that Izumoko genuinely cared about him.

Jiang Bai still did not reveal his identity, but said softly, "You can also reach the level of fighting against the Supreme."

"Chuan Ying, the number one divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, and Ning Fei, the number one divine general of the Eight Divisions under the Undying Emperor, have both reached the realm of Great Perfection Holy Body and Great Perfection Hegemon Body."

Izumoko smiled bitterly: "They are all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Bai interrupted him, saying, "They're not much more or stronger than you; they're just ordinary people. Besides, you wouldn't even dare to dream of it, so how could you possibly achieve it?"

"Roads are made by people walking on them."

Just like the unlucky kid Luan Gu in the future, who could have imagined that he would suffer a hundred defeats and become a demon, and then sweep away the enemy in one fell swoop and become an emperor?

Before him, all the emperors were invincible and unstoppable.

After him, everyone learned that even after a hundred battles and a hundred defeats, one can still achieve enlightenment by overtaking on a curve at the end.

In the original novel, there is also the Golden Age. After Ye Fan overpowered the Golden Crow Emperor, countless people went to challenge the Golden Crow Emperor, and in the end, the Central Emperor Xiang Yufei achieved a glorious victory.

This led to the Golden Age, where a group of unorthodox enlightened beings suppressed the world, suffocating the forbidden zones and forcing them to flee for fear of being purged.

Therefore, the path is made by walking it. If you are afraid of this and that, even without the suppression of the Great Way, you will not be able to achieve the Way, because your mindset is not right.

Izumoko lowered his head in shame. He knew that the principle was just that, but that didn't mean he understood it just by hearing it.

With a sigh, Chu Yunzi took out the statue of the King of Men that he always carried with him and offered it as a sacrifice, in exchange for a table of delicious food, which he then used to invite Jiang Bai to eat.

This scene left Jiang Bai dumbfounded. No, my God has been working as a cook behind my back all these years.
And how much does it cost?

Seeing Jiang Bai's confusion, Chu Yunzi smiled and explained that it did not require sacrificing one's essence, but only a little bit of life essence.

Jiang Bai was still speechless. He felt that his identity had been tarnished by his belief in God.

Izumoko felt that King Jiangbai was a person who understood life.

When they parted, Chu Yunzi invited Jiang Bai to visit their sect sometime, and Jiang Bai accepted with a smile.

Afterwards, Jiang Bai made a special trip back to Mount Sumeru to carefully examine the God of Faith. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he feel relieved.

He was terrified that the other party would cause trouble.

However, I, a believer, created a series of secret techniques related to the power of faith for Jiang Bai.

Among them are the power of faith in cultivating flowers and medicinal herbs, etc.

Furthermore, I, the God of Faith, told Jiang Bai some good news: the Immortal Essence of Longevity has already condensed more than half of the amount needed for Jiang Bai to complete a complete transformation from the inside out. In another ten thousand years, it will definitely be enough for Jiang Bai to live a complete life.

These are all contributions made to Jiang Bai by countless beings in the universe.

It's all accumulated from my more than 20,000 years of work and faith in God.

Jiang Bai was delighted and told the God of Faith to do a good job, and handed over the Silver Armor to him, instructing him to use the power of faith to nurture the Silver Armor whenever he had free time.

As Jiang Bai left Mount Sumeru, he felt a gaze fixed on him from the shadows.

"Is it the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone? Or the Undying Emperor, or perhaps an even more deeply hidden Emperor?"

Jiang Bai murmured to himself, then turned back to Kunlun Mountain.

When Jiang Bai was nine thousand years old, two astonishing auras of lightning tribulation came from the universe one after the other.

It was the Holy Body and the Hegemon Body that successively attained the Quasi-Nine Great Tribulations.

At the age of ten thousand, in the fiftieth city of the human race, the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Great Accomplished Hegemon Body engaged in a bloody battle.

Ultimately, the Great Accomplished Holy Body was defeated and died.

On that day, the Holy Body and Divine Blood were scattered across the skies above fifty cities along the ancient human road.

"Hello, King of Men, I would like to make a deal with you." Suddenly, the voice of the deceased Holy Body rang in Jiang Bai's ears through the power of faith.

"This is a ghost." Through the power of faith, Jiang Bai saw the Great Accomplished Holy Body that had already died.

"Oh, so it's an obsession. How interesting." After careful observation, Jiang Bai quickly realized what he had seen.
