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

Chapter 19 contains the following scriptures.
Thousands of stars dotted the night sky, and the higher one went, the brighter the stars became. A divine rainbow burst forth from his body, lifting Li Yao up and soaring towards the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the first level of the Star Belt, and at the same time, an unimaginable gravity acted on him.

Li Yao staggered, almost being crushed by the force of the gravity.

"drink!"

With surging divine power, Li Yao's black hair danced wildly, his body glowed brilliantly, and his powerful blood and qi stabilized his body, preventing him from being directly suppressed.

"It seems there are still limitations. Currently, I can only access the scriptures on the first level," Li Yao said with some disappointment.

However, he didn't dwell on the issue too much, but instead looked at the surrounding stars.

"The Green Wood Skill is a Dao Palace-level cultivation technique created by the founder of the Green Wood Cave in the Qi Kingdom..."

As Li Yao's gaze focused on a star, information about that star immediately appeared in his mind.

"The Blazing Sun Technique is a Dao Palace-level cultivation method, created by the founder of the Blazing Sun Grotto-heaven in the Chu Kingdom..."

A quick glance revealed that the first layer of stars contained countless Dao Palace-level cultivation techniques, an abundance as vast as the ocean.

Wow!
The heavenly book turned its pages, and one scripture after another was copied onto it, until it stopped after one hundred scriptures had been copied.

It's not that the Heavenly Book is completely filled. In fact, although the Heavenly Book exists in the form of a book, it is infinite. You can't turn the pages to the end.

The reason Li Yao only included one hundred texts was because that number was already sufficient. Even if he continued this business in the future, he would not use Dao Palace level texts, but rather higher-level scriptures.

After completing the collection of the cultivation techniques, he returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Yao couldn't wait to take out 100 jin of Pure Source and start practicing the Green Wood Technique.

A flash of enlightenment appeared, and soon a scripture appeared in Li Yao's mind.

"Green Wood Technique, a cultivation method at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm level..."

This is a new scripture. Through the deduction of the Heavenly Book, the original cultivation method of the Dao Palace Secret Realm has become a cultivation method of the Four Extremes Secret Realm level. And in the process, only one hundred catties of pure source were paid.

The new cultivation technique is not much different from the original Green Wood Technique, but it is more profound, involves more potential gates, and also includes the scriptures of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Li Yao pondered the scriptures in his mind for a moment. Originally, he had no feeling for these scriptures because their level was too low.

However, after fully mastering the Green Wood Skill, he found some bright spots in it. Although there weren't many, they gave him some inspiration and weren't entirely useless.

The path of cultivation is about analyzing and comprehending the Great Dao. None of the emperors in Shrouding the Heavens were unbalanced in any subject; they all read extensively, absorbing the strengths from books and transforming them into nourishment for themselves.

"My path has long been determined: to nurture a hundred scriptures in the furnace, comprehend the myriad ways of the world, and ultimately forge them into a single furnace, transforming into a chaotic entity. This is why I chose the furnace as my weapon to prove my Dao," Li Yao murmured to himself.

The inspiration that Qingmu Gong gave him made Li Yao realize that he had always focused on the Emperor's Scripture, but he had overlooked the fact that a solid foundation was also extremely important.

These basic techniques are definitely not comparable to the Imperial Scriptures; the gap between them is as vast as the heavens and the earth. However, it cannot be denied that these lower-level scriptures also have some advantages. If one can fully understand them, the gains will not be small.

Once someone has thoroughly comprehended ten thousand scriptures of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, would creating the scriptures of the Four Extreme Secret Realms still be difficult for them? "Originally, I just wanted to find a way to make money as a temporary measure, but I never expected to have such an unexpected gain." Li Yao was pleasantly surprised.

At this moment, he felt that his understanding of the Dao had improved slightly, but it was only vague and there was no qualitative leap.

It's like when you're learning something, you feel like you've made progress, but it also feels like it's just an illusion.

“This isn’t an illusion; it’s just that the effect of reading one scripture isn’t obvious. If the number of scriptures is increased, there will definitely be a qualitative leap.” Li Yao seemed to understand.

After calming his mind, Li Yao stopped trying to comprehend the Green Wood Technique and instead focused his attention on the Sea of ​​Bitterness, beginning to forge the artifact.

……

As the moon set and the sun rose, the next day arrived, and as the sunlight shone on the mountain peaks, Zhang Chong's figure followed closely behind.

Li Yao had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Zhang Chong arrive, he quickly went to greet him.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for making this trip." His attitude remained very humble, without any hint of arrogance.

"It's nothing. Is there anything you need to prepare? If not, then we'll set off," Zhang Chong said, waving his hand.

"This disciple simply wants to go and see for himself; there's nothing he needs to prepare."

Li Yao smiled gently. Although he was a little young, his face, which already showed signs of good looks, still appeared quite handsome.

However, Li Yao did not show it on his face, but he was somewhat excited in his heart. If he handled things properly this time when he went to the Holy City, the resources for the next chapters of the Divine Bridge and the Other Shore would no longer be a problem.

“Okay, let’s go then.” Zhang Chong nodded, and then he soared into the sky. Seeing this, Li Yao’s sea of ​​suffering surged, and a burst of blazing divine light burst out of his body, surrounding him and carrying him into the sky, keeping up with Zhang Chong’s speed.

Zhang Chong wasn't moving fast; he was clearly waiting for Li Yao. However, he soon sensed something was wrong.

Although Li Yao is currently only at the Life Spring Realm, his foundation is incredibly impressive. He has opened all the potential gates of the Bitter Sea Realm. After breaking through to the Life Spring Realm, his divine power is comparable to that of a cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm. Later, after cultivating the Life Spring Chapter of the Yao Guang Emperor Scripture, his divine power became even more refined and powerful.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Yao's speed in riding the divine rainbow was like lightning, even faster than some cultivators who had just broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm.

Zhang Chong was startled and sensed the astonishing divine power within Li Yao's body. The level of condensation and strength was beyond what a cultivator of the Life Spring should possess.

The Yao Guang Jing, deduced from the Heavenly Book, is incredibly profound. When one's divine power is contained, it is like a calm lake, but once the divine power is activated, it is like lightning and thunder, a raging storm.

Zhang Chong had never carefully examined Li Yao's aura before, so he was naturally extremely surprised to suddenly sense it now.

"He's only at the Life Spring Realm, yet he possesses such terrifying divine power. It seems that although Li Yao has a mortal body, his talent is in no way inferior to that of a god."

Zhang Chong sighed inwardly, then thought, "I've heard that the Ji family, an ancient clan, has also produced a divine body. Perhaps the two will have a battle in the future."

Even though he knew Li Yao was exceptionally talented, Zhang Chong's opinion of Li Yao changed every time.
