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

Chapter 369 The Golden Crow Cries, the Emperor Falls!

The divine forbidden realm has long been opened, cultivation is boiling, combat power is unrestrained, and its upper limit is unknown.

Compared to himself, Li Yao felt that in this state, he could easily kill his normal combat strength with just a few punches.

Moreover, it was an overwhelming victory; normally, I could only withstand it by using the "Zhe" Secret Technique and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique.

But that wasn't enough. As he got three zhang closer to the stone coffin, the aura became stronger and stronger. The Holy Emperor's Great Dao spread across the sky and the Three Realms and Six Paths, and I alone was supreme!
The Fusang Divine Tree trembled, gathering immeasurable solar holy power, which poured down into the stone coffin, and then the aura became even more terrifying.

But Li Yao walked with great determination. Although he was slow, every step he took was incredibly steady. With each step he took, his aura would surge instantly.

Finally, after spending most of the day, he arrived at the foot of the Fusang Divine Tree.

The stone coffin continued to tremble, its supreme aura permeating the air. The eye of the sea was in turmoil, and even the North Sea outside was experiencing waves tens of thousands of feet high.

In the deepest part of the sea, the Kun trembled with fear. Its aura was incredibly strong, like a celestial emperor standing proudly, looking down upon it from the clouds.

Without doing anything, its sheer power was enough to render it immobile.

"What exactly happened at the Eye of the Sea? Was it because of that person?"

Kun was uneasy. It knew very well how powerful that person was. Just a glance at him yesterday made it instinctively want to submit.

That kind of power is only possessed by quasi-emperors, and although it is a Great Sage, it can never cross that barrier. For three thousand years, it can only look on with envy.

In the path of cultivation, every realm is a watershed. Some watersheds, if viewed with enough brilliance, can lead to defying immortality. The Quasi-Emperor realm, however, is that kind of watershed that cannot be crossed.

Everyone's a quasi-emperor now, who doesn't have an Eight Forbidden Domain!

……

Unaware that the Eye of the Sea had caused a great upheaval in the outside world because of him, Li Yao sat down cross-legged after arriving at the Fusang Divine Tree.

As the Sun Sutra circulated, the five great realms resonated in unison, radiating dazzling divine light.

"Buzz!"

The stone coffin trembled, as if sensing the same aura, and its overwhelming pressure gradually subsided.

At the same time, the Fusang Divine Tree also voluntarily lowered its sacred solar power for Li Yao to absorb and refine.

The golden leaves trembled continuously, and pure, pristine holy power flowed within them. The quality of this power was astonishingly high, far surpassing the naturally occurring holy power of the sun in the universe.

Li Yao's body was crystal clear and radiant, emitting a golden light. Every pore was like a black hole, frantically absorbing holy power. Golden light covered every inch of his flesh and blood, making him look like a humanoid golden Dao Tribulation.

At the center of his brow, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle also began to operate, refining the essence of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit, transforming it into violent energy, and beginning to flow back.

The Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm trembled, and the power of the Sun surged. The original balance of Yin and Yang changed, but instead of the decline of Yin due to the extreme of Yang, the extreme of Yang gave rise to Yin, which led to the rapid growth of the power of the Taiyin.

The two holy powers collided, transforming into a chaotic waterfall that cascaded into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, causing the Sea of ​​Bitterness to expand wildly.

Ten thousand zhang, one hundred thousand zhang, two hundred thousand zhang, three hundred thousand zhang...

"Boom!"

With his blood and qi surging, Li Yao's aura grew stronger and stronger. Sitting there cross-legged, he resembled a god or demon, transforming chaos with yin and yang.

As the Sea of ​​Bitterness expands, the Spring of Life, the Bridge of Gods, and the Other Shore are also undergoing tremendous changes...

As the sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the east, the seasons change, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Li Yao was like a rock, the holy power of the sun descended upon him, engulfing him and turning his entire body golden.

In just six months, he made tremendous gains. First, the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm had evolved to a size of three million zhang, almost indistinguishable from a real ocean.

The improvement of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm will naturally lead to an overall improvement. In fact, Li Yao can break through at any time if he wants.

Secondly, there is the transformation of the chaotic body.

Thanks to this upgrade, his Chaos Origin has reached about 80%, which is a huge leap. He is only 20% away from becoming a flawless Chaos Body.

With progress in both his cultivation and physique, his combat power naturally surged, becoming many times stronger than it had been six months ago.

"Unfortunately, the essence of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit has been fully digested, and I will no longer be able to advance as rapidly as I have in the future," Li Yao said with some regret.

His ability to quickly break through from the Great Sage realm to the Quasi-Emperor realm, and now to the point where he can break through again, is largely due to the creation of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit.

But such good things eventually come to an end; it's impossible to have them forever.

Over millions of years, the Great Perfection Holy Spirit was refined by the Heavenly Venerable Array, and the losses in between were enormous; otherwise, perhaps it could have continued to absorb.

"Contentment brings happiness. This opportunity has already helped me a lot, and I cannot lose my composure because of it." Li Yao's eyes regained their clarity.

Moreover, compared to his cultivation level, he currently has even greater gains waiting for him to unlock.

The Fusang Divine Tree, as an elixir of immortality, was very likely originally a Celestial King-level being.

Tracing back to the source, perhaps today we can obtain another Immortal King's Technique, and even upgrade the Heavenly Book!
His achievements today owe a great deal to the Heavenly Book; its advancement is his future.

Li Yao's cultivation surged, and he began to capture the Dao patterns on the Fusang Divine Tree, sensing the profound mystery of its origin.

"Wow!"

In the Heavenly Book Space, lifelike three-legged golden crows flapped their wings and cried out, while the blazing sacred fire of the sun burned, seemingly capable of incinerating all the heavens and the great world!

This was a terrifying aura; even just observing its divine patterns felt like being there, facing a golden crow from the ages of an emperor's fall. Li Yao was greatly shaken, and endless mysteries surged into his mind.

"When the golden crow cries, the emperor's reign ends!"

"Golden Crow Burning Sky!"

"The Golden Crow cuts across three thousand realms!"

"Golden Crow Body!"

The profound meanings of the four supreme immortal techniques surfaced in Li Yao's mind. Everything was as he expected. The predecessor of the Fusang Divine Tree was a Golden Crow King from the Immortal Ancient Era!

The Heavenly Book traces back to its origins and evolved into the supreme Golden Crow Law!

It is not complete, but it includes most of the parts. Only the last two moves are missing before the complete Golden Crow Treasure Technique can be obtained!
Li Yao quietly comprehended the techniques until he had just mastered the four immortal arts, before he began to examine the changes in the Heavenly Book.

After this upgrade, the Heavenly Book has undergone tremendous changes. The originally old pages have been completely renewed and have a metallic texture. For the first time, there have been some changes in its appearance.

Li Yao wasn't interested in these things and continued to delve deeper, caring more about inner qualities than outward appearance.

He continued to delve deeper into the subject, and soon he roughly understood what he had gained this time.

First and foremost, the most striking point is that all abilities have been significantly enhanced after this upgrade.

This pleased Li Yao greatly, but what truly delighted him was the additional ability he had gained.

The Heavenly Book allows one to continuously comprehend the Daoist teachings and enables Li Yao to simultaneously absorb those insights.

"My God!" Li Yao had lost all control over his facial expressions; his features were flying everywhere.

The new abilities the Heavenly Book possessed this time were simply heaven-defying, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

What does it mean to keep comprehending the Daoist teachings? Simply put, it means letting the Heavenly Book comprehend things on its own, and then forcing Li Yao to understand it through an initiation.

This is already a bug-level capability.

Previously, the Creation Realm allowed Li Yao to comprehend the Dao from a higher-dimensional perspective. However, after leaving the Creation Realm, he felt that although he knew the knowledge, he could not fully grasp it. He needed to spend time absorbing and digesting it to make it his own understanding.

This time, however, the ability was left idle, with the Heavenly Book comprehending on its own and then forcibly imparting itself to Li Yao, skipping the digestion process in between.

This is such a bizarre ability that it's almost illogical.

"Very powerful, I like it." Li Yao's lips curled up high.

Although this ability can only be applied to one Taoist technique at a time, it cannot be used to comprehend all of them simultaneously.

But this one alone can cause his cultivation to advance at an alarming rate.

Immediately, Li Yao focused his mind, turning the metallic pages until they stopped at the word "all".

In an instant, he felt his head buzz, his mind cleared, and his comprehension increased several times over.

Moreover, this feeling was not abrupt; it was as if... his future self was residing in his body, helping him to comprehend the secrets of the character "皆".

Every moment, Li Yao had a strange feeling; his understanding of the secret of the character "皆" had deepened.

"His comprehension speed is about one-tenth of that of the Creation Realm." About an hour later, Li Yao compared the two and found the difference.

But he was not disappointed; on the contrary, he was delighted.

While the realm of creation is powerful, it also has many limitations. After comprehending it, one still needs to digest it slowly on one's own. However, the ability to AFK (away from keyboard) is something that one gains immediately upon comprehension.

The former is like accumulating a basin of water and then pouring it all out at once, while the latter is like a steady, continuous flow of water.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but if Li Yao had to choose, he felt that the AFK (away from keyboard) ability was undoubtedly more powerful.

"Could we use them in combination?" Suddenly, Li Yao had this thought.

Then, without hesitation, he entered the realm of creation and studied the secret of the character "皆".

When he exited, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was indeed a connection between the two.

Those extra insights seemed to broaden the channels for the ability to "hang up" (idle/idle). What was originally a trickle the size of a chopstick more than doubled, becoming the size of an index finger.

"Hahaha..." This time, Li Yao really couldn't hold back anymore.

After this, there was no possibility that his cultivation level could catch up with his Daoist cultivation level, which would always be far ahead, and he would no longer have to worry about bottlenecks.

"It's safe now, it's safe now!" Li Yao decided to change his target.

Before the Dark Turmoil, he needs to have the strength of a quasi-Heavenly Emperor. If anyone dares to cause trouble then, his head will be smashed.

He was too conservative before. The Heavenly Book is not such an inconvenient thing. The upper limit of the estimate can be completely relaxed.

For a full half day, Li Yao calmed himself down. Only after his Dao heart had regained its tranquility did he stand up, go to the stone coffin, respectfully bow, and then turn and leave.

The Fusang Divine Tree currently needs to protect the stone coffin and preserve the divine power of the Holy Emperor's human skin.

This can be considered a backup plan; in case he fails to reach the level of a quasi-Heavenly Emperor, the existence of the Holy Emperor will serve as a safeguard.
