Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 12 Practice
Li Yao took out a fist-sized piece of pure essence from the jade bottle, which radiated a dazzling light. The essence contained within was incredibly rich, and just holding it in his hand made his body feel a surge of desire.

By circulating the profound method of the Yao Guang Scripture, the essence in the Pure Source was guided out. When the incomparably pure essence entered his body, Li Yao felt completely comfortable. That feeling was truly no less than ascending to immortality.

After the essence entered his body, it was directly incorporated into the Heavenly Book in Li Yao's mind.

Wow!

In the darkness, the sound of pages turning began. With a massive supply of vital energy, the second page of the Heavenly Book began to shine brightly, but only for a moment. Before even one percent of the area was illuminated, the trend stopped.

Li Yao, who was completely focused on observing the Heavenly Book, was taken aback. He frowned as he looked at the Pure Source in his hand, which had become an empty shell, and gasped in shock.

"About 20 kilograms of pure source actually illuminated less than one percent of the area."

Li Yao took out another ten-pound piece of pure source from the jade bottle, which this time filled exactly one percent of the area.

"Damn it, to max out the entire area, it looks like it'll take at least three thousand catties of source energy. What a source energy hog!" Li Yao thought to himself, his heart trembling. This was just a Life Spring Realm scripture, yet it already required three thousand catties of pure source energy.

These thoughts were not heard by outsiders. If others knew that it only takes three thousand catties of pure source to strengthen the Life Spring Realm Scripture into an Emperor Scripture, countless people would go completely mad.

Something of the Emperor's Scripture level could never be associated with the Origin, and no one would use the Origin to measure the value of the Emperor's Scripture. Three thousand catties of Origin were enough to elevate a Great Sage-level scripture to the Emperor's Scripture level. If others knew this, they would gladly accept thirty thousand catties of Origin, let alone thirty thousand catties.

"It seems I need to break through my current realm first," Li Yao thought to himself.

To fully replenish the second page of the Heavenly Book, three thousand catties of pure source energy are needed. All the source energy he currently possesses can only replenish less than a quarter of the Heavenly Book's energy.

The remaining 2,300 catties of pure source are still needed. Li Yao's monthly resource is 500 catties. Even if he doesn't use any of the remaining resources, it will still take four months. This is only possible if the Heavenly Book can automatically absorb 300 catties of pure source in four months.

Four months is definitely a huge timeframe that will significantly impact Li Yao's cultivation.

Li Yao shook his head, thinking to himself, "I should improve my cultivation first. Opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness is not difficult. With the resources I have now, I can break through from the Sea of ​​Bitterness to the Spring of Life very soon. At that time, the resources I have each month can increase from 500 catties to 700 catties, and the speed of accumulating pure source will be much faster."

Having made up his mind, Li Yao took out another piece of pure energy and began to absorb essence by circulating the Yao Guang Sutra.

Rumble!
The sound of the surging waves of the ocean rang out again. With the help of the Pure Source, opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness was simple and quick. Almost every moment, the edge of the Sea of ​​Bitterness could be observed to be expanding.

Of course, the source was also consumed quickly. A piece of pure source weighing several kilograms was completely absorbed after a few hours.

The following day, the sun rose from the east, roamed the earth, and cast its golden light.

Li Yao opened his eyes in the room, and a faint divine light suddenly appeared, merging with the golden light that shone in, making the room seem exceptionally bright.

"From the size of a sesame seed to the size of a grain of rice, it only took one night. This progress is truly amazing. Is this the benefit of having resources?" Li Yao was pleasantly surprised. If he was somewhat resistant to entering the Yao Guang Holy Land at first, he could only say that he was now really impressed.

If it weren't for the Yao Guang Holy Land, he wouldn't have had a large amount of pure source for cultivation. In the original story, Ye Fan was hunted down after only finding a small piece of impure source, but he now has hundreds of kilograms of pure source, and that's every month.

"Let's continue cultivating." After strolling around the courtyard twice, Li Yao returned to his room to continue cultivating.

Although his cultivation level has not yet reached the point of abstaining from grains, his body functions do not need to be replenished by grains because of the absorption of the essence from the pure source.

This is something that those independent cultivators cannot compare to. They have no source and can only absorb the natural essence of heaven and earth. They use all the meager essence they absorb for cultivation and are unwilling to expend it on their physical functions. Therefore, they inevitably need to eat extra.

Those who absorb qi attain divinity and longevity; this is the correct way to cultivate immortality.

The sun rises and sets, the cycle continues, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

There's been a lot of news going around in the Yao Guang Holy Land lately, and almost all the disciples and elders know about it.

The steward of Dragon Head Peak found a genius in one of its subordinate caves, but the genius did not become a disciple of Dragon Head Peak; instead, he was snatched away by Rising Sun Island.

For this reason, Li Taishang of Dragon Head Peak even went to Rising Sun Island to forcibly take away that disciple, but he ultimately failed.

Many disciples were curious about what kind of genius could have caused such a conflict between the two major factions.

"It might be a divine body. Only such an existence could almost cause the two major factions to fight each other."

"If it is truly a divine body, then Rising Sun Island is truly going to rise. The Jiang family's God King was invincible for five thousand years ago, and has been the number one attacker for five thousand years. This kind of physique is destined to be invincible in the world."

This has been the most discussed topic in the Yao Guang Holy Land for the past month. Whenever a few disciples get together, they naturally start talking about it.

However, everyone's guesses were different. At first, some people said it was a divine body, and later some people said it was a royal body. There was no definite answer.

As for Xuri Shendao and Li Yao, who were at the center of the storm, the former never came forward to give a clear explanation, but instead let the rumors run rampant, which was also intended to use this to enhance Xuri Shendao's momentum.

The latter, however, was completely unaware of this matter and was currently focused entirely on cultivation, hoping to completely open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness and enter the Spring of Life realm.

……

Yao Guang Holy Land, the Holy Mountain.

In a dimly lit palace, several figures stood silently in the gloom. They were all dressed in black robes, simple in style and rough in material, which swayed slightly with their breath, as if blending into the darkness. The hoods deeply concealed their faces, revealing only blurry outlines. Occasionally, a faint light would flash through their eyes, hidden in the shadows, cold and deep, like endless black holes, devouring all light and hope.

They are the lineage of the Supreme Saint, a faction in the Yao Guang Holy Land that is in no way inferior to the lineage of the Holy Lord. Although this lineage has rarely served as the Holy Lord since the establishment of the Yao Guang Holy Land, it has never weakened no matter how time changes.

In this life, the Holy Son of Yaoguang Holy Land comes from the lineage of the Supreme Saint, while the Holy Maiden Yao Xi comes from the lineage of the Holy Lord.

Of course, their identities are not that simple. In addition to being from the Supreme Saint lineage of the Yao Guang Holy Land, they have an even more terrifying identity: the Devouring Heaven lineage.
