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

Chapter 61 Bones Within the Divine Source

Everyone was a bit confused, not understanding why Li Yao said that, or what kind of trick he had up his sleeve.
Without keeping them waiting long, Li Yao turned his head, his back to Shenyuan, and with a slash of his silver knife, a crack appeared in the stone skin that enveloped Shenyuan.

"Hey!"

An even more intense light shot into the sky, and the sacred aura became even stronger. The dazzling light came too quickly, and many people were not prepared. Their eyes were immediately stung, and they quickly closed them.

A blazing light shot into the sky, and a divine source the size of a human head floated in the air. Those with weaker cultivation levels could not even open their eyes to see it; only those with great strength could observe it. This was the divine source, dazzling with brilliance.

"There's something inside the divine source?!"

"That's a bone, but I don't know what kind of creature it is?"

"No, there are words on the bone... not words, but a strange Dao pattern... how mysterious!"

"Such profound Dao patterns, resembling a phoenix undergoing Nirvana..."

"Ah, where did it go? Quick, take it out and examine it! That was definitely an unparalleled divine technique!"

The scene erupted in cheers, with many exclaiming in amazement that there was a piece of bone within the divine source, and on the bone were engraved many Dao patterns, which together resembled a phoenix burning with the divine fire of rebirth.

Although it was only a fleeting glance, everyone present who could see inside under the divine light was an absolute powerhouse. With just a quick look, they could discern the extraordinary nature of those Dao patterns.

But with just that one glance, he didn't even get a complete look, let alone learn it.

Li Yao withdrew his divine source, looked at everyone with a half-smile, and said, "Everyone, the outcome is decided now."

“Those Dao patterns are extremely profound. Although I have only seen a corner of them, they are already comparable to those of an Emperor Scripture. Just from those Dao patterns, the outcome has already been decided.” Jiang Xiong quickly stepped forward to support Li Yao and end this stone gambling game.

Everyone was in an uproar, stunned by what Jiang Xiong had said. Comparable to the Emperor's Scripture? Could it be that he really cut out the Emperor's Scripture from the source stone?

At this moment, no one could remain calm; that was the Imperial Scripture, a truly unparalleled treasure.

“It’s very mysterious. I also saw a corner of it, which far surpasses many ancient scriptures, but it seems to be… incomplete. The Dao patterns on that bone are less than one-tenth of the complete one.”

"I feel the same way. Although it is incomplete, if one can understand its mysteries, it will greatly benefit one's cultivation."

Many old monsters were lamenting that such profound Dao patterns were right before their eyes, yet they were unable to comprehend them.

"This is an unparalleled healing technique. Although it is incomplete, if one can fully comprehend it, it will be almost impossible to die. If it were complete, how terrifying it would be," an old voice said with regret.

Even the guardians of the Jiang family's top-tier stone garden were amazed, which shows just how terrifying those Dao patterns were.

Li Yao shook his head and walked towards Tuoba Lie. When he got close, he said, "Grandmaster Tuoba, I have won."

Many old monsters shook their heads helplessly. Although they did not want the flawed life fruit to fall into the hands of the Yao Guang Holy Land, the result was already obvious.

If it were just a divine source the size of a human head, they could still speak up for Tuoba Lie, since it wasn't just nonsense but actually based on some evidence.

However, the Dao patterns that appeared in the Divine Source, although incomplete, were still very valuable. It was only because Li Yao refused to sell them that they were willing to buy them even for 300,000 jin of source.

Tuoba Lie was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "You won."

"No, we don't know the true value of that Dao pattern. If you want us to admit defeat, you have to give it to us..."

"Shut up!" Before Tuoba Hong could finish speaking, Tuoba Lie rudely interrupted him.

"Uncle!" Tuoba Hong cried out unwillingly.

“Hong’er, my Tuoba family’s seventh ancestor gambled on stones with the fifth generation Yuan Tian Master several times, but he always ended up losing miserably. Although he lost many times, he could afford to lose and he lost with dignity. Because of this, the fifth generation Yuan Tian Master also admired him and visited him several times. That’s how the Crimson Gold Divine Hand and the Yuan Tian Treasure Wheel came about.”

Tuoba Lie slowly recounted this history that had been passed down through his family, then spoke earnestly to Tuoba Hong:

“Hong’er, losing is not terrible. As long as you know shame and then strive to improve, you can become stronger. But if you can’t accept losing, your heart will be lost and you will ruin yourself completely.”

He seemed to be speaking to Tuoba Hong, but after saying these words, Tuoba Lie's eyes brightened considerably, and his listless spirit returned.

Li Yao was slightly moved. His first impression of Tuoba Lie was that of a superior senior, but at this moment, he had to admit that the other party had great courage and perseverance.

This is the nature of cultivators in the world of "Covering the Sky." Although they are fierce and competitive, they are never short of people with great ambition.

In other cultivation worlds, the ancestors with little lifespan left usually go into seclusion and cannot be disturbed until their sect is destroyed. However, in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the ancestors with little lifespan left the mountain with imperial weapons and took a group of enemies with them.

"I understand, Uncle," Tuoba Hong said, bowing his head. Li Yao silently put away the Human Yuan Fruit and the 100,000 jin of Yuan on the ground. Originally, he had planned to kill him and destroy his spirit, but Tuoba Lie's spirit made him think twice, so he put away his words of destruction.

"Wait a minute." Tuoba Lie called out to Li Yao, who had turned around.

"What's wrong? Do you have any advice?" Li Yao turned around and asked.

Tuoba Lie took out a jade bottle and sent it over with his divine power, saying, "This is the wager, 200,000 jin of source. You can click on it."

Li Yao didn't count the items; he simply put them away silently and prepared to leave again.

"You have great talent and are expected to become the sixth generation Source Master. Don't waste it..." Tuoba Lie subconsciously prepared to lecture him. He was in charge of teaching the clansmen Source Arts in the Tuoba family.

But he quickly realized that the young man in front of him was already more skilled in Origin Arts than him, and he seemed to have no right to say anything.

"Thank you for the pointers." To Tuoba Lie's surprise, Li Yao nodded earnestly in response.

The jade gambling battle came to an end, with Li Yao reaping huge profits, making many people envious, but no one dared to plot against him.

He didn't continue, and Yunshang also advised him not to. He had only come to settle scores this time, and if he continued, things would get out of hand.

Jiang Yi seized the source area of ​​the Yao Guang Holy Land, while Li Yao robbed the Jiang family's stone archway.

If we were to compare them side by side, Jiang Yi would probably have to rob a few more times to match Li Yao's haul this time.

Moreover, some things cannot be measured by their source, such as the Human Origin Fruit, the Divine Source, and the Dao patterns on the bone within the Divine Source.

After the jade gambling battle, Li Yao's fame spread throughout the Holy City. Subsequently, centered on the Holy City, his influence expanded to the entire Northern Region, and then to the Central Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, and other places.

This time, he became famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness, becoming a peerless genius in everyone's eyes, but not for his cultivation level, but for his Origin Technique.

In the following days, Li Yao was busy with various social engagements, attending banquets hosted by various powerful forces and making friends with many important figures.

With his current status as a master of Origin Arts, even if his cultivation level is low, the elders of various holy lands and aristocratic families will welcome him as an honored guest.

However, Li Yao restrained himself and did not go out again on the fifth day.

……

"You've settled down, Grandmaster of Origin Arts." Amidst the lush vegetation of the peaks, Yun Shang sat leisurely on a futon, sipping tea. In front of him was a wooden table, and everything seemed perfectly relaxed.

"It's truly enviable that Master Yun finds solace in nature," Li Yao said, sitting on the other side and picking up a cup of tea.

Yun Shang said, "I'm going to enjoy this rare moment of leisure."

Neither of them spoke after that; instead, they quietly admired the mountain peaks and the surging sea of ​​clouds before them.

After a long while, Yun Shang finally spoke, saying, "Luoxia Mountain is willing to provide 800,000 jin of the Human Essence Fruit."

Li Yao shook his head: "Old Xun's time is coming to an end. This Human Yuan Fruit is his."

"Sigh, I knew it." Yun Shang shook his head regretfully.

"What's wrong with Junior Brother Yun? Why are you sighing like that?" At this moment, a voice came from over. The two looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Zhang Chong, who had been gone for a long time.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

"Master Zhang."

The two got up and walked towards Zhang Chong.

Li Yao's remarkable achievements in the Holy City have naturally alarmed the Holy Land. In particular, the rare treasures he extracted have made countless people envious, causing a great stir in the Holy Land.

Fortunately, Luoxia Mountain and Xuri Island worked together to stop those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, Mount Luoxia and Sunrise Island alone are not enough, but at the crucial moment, the Holy Lord's lineage also stepped forward.

Even before the stone gambling, the Holy Lord's lineage had promised that all the rare treasures cut out this time would belong to Li Yao himself.

Only when the Holy Lord's lineage stepped forward to take charge of the situation did the turmoil subside. It was because of this that Zhang Chong was able to come to the Holy City after so many days.
