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

Chapter 90 Secret Realm
"The Great Evolution Holy Land, the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land!"

The Great Yan Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Beginning Holy Land have very impressive origins. The words "Great Yan" and "Ten Thousand Beginning" have extraordinary significance, as they are both the oldest holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness.

Suddenly, a purple aura appeared in the east, boundless and immeasurably noble, inviolable and sacred, enveloping the east.

The auspicious purple clouds rising from the east, ethereal and majestic, have been regarded as a propitious omen and a symbol of peace and harmony since ancient times.

A floating celestial palace appeared, arriving amidst purple mist, its surroundings shrouded in purple radiance, imbuing the entire world with a celestial aura.

"Those who came earlier were just the younger generation of disciples; this is the main force!" Everyone was shocked. They knew that this was no small matter; something truly extraordinary had probably happened in Quancheng.

Silently, a Taoist temple appeared high in the sky, exuding endless Taoist charm, as if it had stood there since ancient times. Many people did not notice when it appeared.

It is not grand, nor is it adorned with pearls and jade. It is entirely made of ordinary bluestone, simple and unadorned, yet it gives people a sense of boundless grandeur.

"Rumble"

A ferocious ancient ship, thousands of feet long, resembled a primordial beast with its dragon head held high, riding the wind and waves as it arrived. The demon race had dispatched its strongest warriors.

This was not the end, but only the beginning. Next, forces such as the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Ji family, and the Heavenly Demon Palace arrived one after another.

The Eastern Wilderness has five major regions: East, West, South, North, and Central. This time, forces from almost all of them have arrived, making such a commotion truly enormous.

"I need to meet up with the people from the Yao Guang Holy Land. Something extraordinary must have happened in Quancheng, and I have to find out." Li Yao had a premonition.

The fact that it could attract so many forces to make such a big fuss must mean something incredibly important, perhaps even some extraordinary stroke of luck.

That night, the stars shone brightly and the moon shone. In the east of Jinan, a palace stood, suspended in the air, without falling to the ground.

This is the residence of the Yao Guang Holy Land. In the palace square, hundreds of Yao Guang masters stand high above, looking down at Quancheng.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew up to the palace, so fast that the powerful figures of Yao Guang didn't react immediately. It wasn't until Li Yao landed on the plaza that the group became alert.

"Who dares to trespass on the sacred land of Yao Guang!"

Hundreds of people suddenly surged with divine power, and the air pressure in the square instantly dropped to freezing point, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Li Yao had not been a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land for very long, only a little over three years at most, and the time he spent in the Holy Land was even less, only half a year.

The rest of the time, he was either in the holy city or traveling.

Over the past year, he has grown taller and more slender, and his appearance has become more mature, losing much of his childishness. Compared to the eleven-year-old boy he once was, he now looks more like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth.

The powerful figures standing in the square all came from the Southern Region. In other words, even if they knew what Li Yao looked like, they would know it was the eleven-year-old Li Yao, not the fourteen-year-old Li Yao he is now.

"Squeak!"

The palace doors swung open, and a dozen figures emerged from them. Two middle-aged men, their auras incredibly powerful and heavy like mountains, were the Supreme Elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land. Beside them were several Dragon Transformation Realm elders.

Besides them, there was a man and a woman. The man was handsome and dashing, like a god, while the woman was graceful and ethereal, making even the most beautiful pearls pale in comparison.

They are spotless, capable of purifying the mortal world; their steps are light, exuding an ethereal aura, truly like deities.

Li Yao recognized one of the women; she was none other than Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

At this moment, the people who came out also saw Li Yao in the square. The first thing they saw was his extraordinary demeanor.

Li Yao seemed to be surrounded by a layer of celestial light. His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with a few strands casually tied up and the rest flowing freely. Under the moonlight, it shimmered with a crystal-clear luster, like a celestial river sloping down from the heavens.

On his handsome face, a pair of sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards, like an ancient pine tree standing proudly, sharp and flamboyant, while his long, narrow eyes were deep, with a glint of electricity in them.

He was dressed in a blue robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind. The silver cloud patterns embroidered on the robe resembled a flowing galaxy, shining brightly.

This young man stood there, under the intense gaze of hundreds of powerful figures from Yao Guang, yet he remained unfazed, calm and collected, seemingly not taking them seriously.

"Li Yao?" Yao Xi asked, sounding somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Within the Yao Guang Holy Land, if one were to ask who was most familiar with Li Yao, it would undoubtedly be Yao Xi, even more so than Yun Shang and Zhang Chong.

Because Li Yao only sought out the two of them when he had something to discuss, and he would leave immediately after the matter was resolved, without any delay.

On the other hand, Yao Xi and Yao Xi met almost every few days during those two months in the Holy City, and spent almost the entire day together.

So even though Li Yao had changed so much, Yao Xi still recognized him, but the changes were so great that she could hardly believe it.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time. You're even more beautiful than before." Li Yao's lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc.

Although he was only fourteen years old, his physique was already comparable to that of a young man, his appearance was handsome and extraordinary, and his demeanor was unparalleled.

"It really is you. It's only been two years, how have you changed so much?" Yao Xi walked gracefully forward, placed her jade-like hand on Li Yao, and carefully examined the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of her.

“Junior Brother Li Yao?” Yao Guang also stepped forward, his brows furrowed slightly.

Those familiar with the Holy Son of Yaoguang noticed his change. The Holy Son of Yaoguang usually had a peaceful smile on his face, which was both sacred and approachable, but it was gone at this moment.

This is normal, though. The relationship between the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter is very complicated. Although there is no marriage agreement between them on the surface, in the past, the Holy Daughter has almost always married the Holy Son, who is the future Holy Lord.

This is already a common practice, but what's going on now is that it's like your fiancée is being intimate with another man right in front of you.

If the Holy Son of Yaoguang can remain calm even in this situation, then everyone present must praise his magnanimous heart.

At this moment, everyone kept their eyes down, pretending to be very busy. Even the two elders turned their heads away and looked elsewhere.

Li Yao was unaware that after he defeated Li Rui, Sunrise Island and Sunset Mountain worked together to elevate his rank from elite disciple to candidate saint.

Don't underestimate the potential Holy Son. Disciples at this level are only lower in status than the Holy Son and Holy Daughter. They have already entered the ranks of those vying for the Holy Son title. As long as they defeat the original Holy Son, they can become the new generation's Holy Son.

This is a contest between the Holy Sons, and according to the rules, no one else is allowed to interfere.

"Junior Brother Li Yao has been away from the Holy Land for more than two years. I had only heard of him before, but seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed peerless in his demeanor." Yao Guang's expression was solemn. Although his words were words of praise, his tone was sharp.

"Your Highness is too kind. In terms of bearing, Your Highness is indeed a man of exceptional talent and bearing, a man of unparalleled grace." Li Yao looked directly at him without flinching.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy. Now everyone could see that the two were just one spark away from erupting into a major battle.

"It is said that Junior Brother is exceptionally talented, and he defeated the Dao Palace Secret Realm while only in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Now that so much time has passed, I wonder what level Junior Brother's cultivation has reached, whether he has crossed the other shore and opened up several Dao Palaces?"

"Does the Holy Son wish to receive instruction? Junior Brother is ready to accompany you to the end."

The aura of Yao Guang rose, like a sun god, stretching across the heavens and earth, radiating countless rays of light, much like a deity.

Li Yao didn't take it seriously. His divine power surged, like a great sun rising slowly, shaking all directions, and collided with the aura of Yao Guang.

"boom"

The sky was brightly lit, like two small suns piercing the night sky, causing the heavens to tremble.

This initial clash of momentum has already created such power.

The commotion that erupted at Yaoguang's base was quite significant, and many powerful individuals sensed it and turned their gazes in that direction.

"That's the Holy Son of Yao Guang Holy Land. Who is that young man opposite him, who can stand up to the Holy Son of Yao Guang?"

"What amazing young people! Their auras are as unfathomable as the vast ocean. They are probably no less capable than many of the older generation!"

"The Holy Land of Yao Guang has produced two such amazing young men. But when two tigers fight, one of them will surely be injured!"

Yao Guang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at Li Yao in shock. He had never imagined that the other party was also a Four Extremes Secret Realm expert!

After only three years of cultivation, he has crossed the Sea of ​​Wheels and the Dao Palace, merged his body with heaven and earth, and become a cultivator of the Four Extremes Secret Realm!
Yao Xi stared at Li Yao in shock. This was also beyond her imagination. Although she knew that with Li Yao's talent, he would inevitably stand in front of her in the future, she did not expect it to happen so quickly!

"Senior brother, please enlighten me." Li Yao gestured for the other party to make a move.

"Wait a minute!" Upon seeing this, the two Supreme Elders quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"Do the two Supreme Elders intend to intervene in the struggle between the Holy Sons?" Li Yao looked at the two men with a calm gaze.

“No, no one can interfere in the battle for the Holy Son,” one of the elders denied. “Then why try to stop it?” Yao Guang asked in return.

Another elder stepped forward and explained, "The situation in Quanzhou is currently very complex, and that secret realm is about to open. Even if you two want to fight, it's better to wait until this matter is over."

Yao Guang remained silent, his gaze fixed on Li Yao with a dignified air. He was deeply resentful; Li Yao's talent was too extraordinary, a rarity throughout history, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent this calamity.

“You two can rest assured, the battle between him and me will end soon and won’t cause any delays,” Li Yao said.

His expression was incredibly calm and confident, and the message conveyed in his words was that he didn't take Yao Guang seriously at all.

"I think so too," Yao Guang replied with equal confidence.

"That's not the right time. The battle for the Holy Son should at least be held in the Holy Land, witnessed by the Holy Lord, the eleven lineage masters, and the Supreme Elders." The two Supreme Elders still refused to let the two fight.

Li Yao calmed down and then asked curiously, "What happened in Quancheng? Why are all the holy lands and aristocratic families here?"

Seeing that the two elders were no longer fighting, they relaxed and said, "A secret realm has appeared in Quancheng. It is extremely powerful and may be a small world created by a supreme figure."

"A small world!" Li Yao was startled.

Only those who reach the level of ancient sages can create a small world in the void. Since a small world was discovered in Quancheng, it is not surprising that all the major holy lands gathered there.

Because within it might lie the resources of an ancient sage's entire life, as well as his ancient scriptures and weapons.

The temptation is simply too great. Putting aside the resources, which the holy lands may not necessarily crave, the ancient scriptures and holy weapons are absolutely not to be missed.

Both of these are essential conditions for establishing a holy land, especially holy weapons. Some of these weapons have already given birth to gods, and once they are revived, they can destroy the world.

This is the true priceless treasure, and all the holy lands and ancient families are determined to obtain it.

Li Yao's heart burned with desire; a weapon capable of unleashing boundless power was exactly what he needed right now.

The Divine Furnace of Departing Fire is excellent, but due to the lack of a deity, this weapon cannot unleash its ultimate attack on its own. How much power it can exert depends entirely on the wielder.

If he had a sacred weapon, he would have no fear of the old monster attacking him.

"When will the small world open?" he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What, Junior Brother wants to compete for the Sacred Weapon? That's going to be quite difficult. There are quite a few powerful figures and Supreme Elders here this time." Yao Xi smiled charmingly, her slender figure like a piece of divine jade, radiating divine light, as she looked at Li Yao with a beaming smile.

"Who wouldn't want a legendary weapon? Don't you want one, Senior Sister?" Li Yao countered.

"Of course I want it, Senior Sister," Yao Xi said, her eyes sparkling. "It's just that my strength is too low to even dream of it."

Beside him, Yao Guang's face turned green. He was usually very composed, but perhaps because he was new to the world, his temperament was not yet as tolerant as it would become later. Seeing Yao Xi being so close to others, he felt extremely frustrated.

This doesn't mean that Yao Guang loved Yao Xi that much; he was devoted to the Dao and didn't have much interest in matters of love.

However, in the eyes of others, the saintess who should be his fiancée is so close to other men, wouldn't that make him look like he's been cuckolded?

This was an utter disgrace, making him lose face.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the city of Jinan trembled, and a terrifying wave swept through, as if a god or demon was about to destroy the world.

North of Jinan, the void began to tremble violently, and countless tiny void cracks appeared, from which dazzling light burst forth, radiant and spectacular.

Through those tiny cracks, one can vaguely see a world within, filled with ancient trees reaching for the sky, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls—everything one could desire.

"The void tremors caused by the small world present the perfect opportunity to tear open a passage from the outside!" someone shouted excitedly.

"boom!"

In the distant Dao Yi Holy Land, a Daoist nun soared into the air and rushed towards the void rift.

Meanwhile, within the celestial palace of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, powerful figures soared into the sky, rushing towards the void rift.

This undoubtedly triggered a chain reaction, with powerful figures from various holy lands and aristocratic families soaring into the sky and rushing towards the void rift.

The same was true for the Yao Guang Holy Land; one of the two Supreme Elders was stationed at the palace, while the other Supreme Elder hurriedly followed.

At the same time, the palace also began to move, heading towards the void rift.

The same was true for the various warships, celestial palaces, and Taoist temples; they all set off one after another, heading towards the void rift.

The palace moved very quickly, and soon it approached the void rift. The elders who arrived first all unleashed their unparalleled attacks, blasting towards the void rift to create a passage.

"That's not enough. Everyone needs to come together, otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long we'll have to wait."

Under the cover of night, a dazzling light shone as many people unleashed their magical weapons, striking the rift in the void.

After repeated bombardments, the crack did widen somewhat, but the results were minimal, and it was impossible to enter.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable..."

The compassionate Taoist chant, like the heavenly sound of the Great Way, resounded through the sky. The simple and unadorned ancient Taoist temple, built entirely of bluestone, appeared at the crack in the void.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable..."

These four words echoed repeatedly, like a tsunami reaching the sky, grand and righteous. The people of Dao Yi Holy Land had made their move, using the supreme Daoist method to unleash the great power of the Daoist temple.

Leading the group was a female Taoist nun with a magnetic, melodious, and pleasant voice that filled the heavens and earth.

The ancient Taoist temple rippled outwards, its sound waves flowing like water in all directions. Ripples began to spread through the void, and the crack was slowly expanding.

Auspicious purple clouds drifted from the east, their radiance illuminating the sky. A misty celestial palace flew to the crack in the void, its purple light scattering like stars, rushing into the void passage and expanding the passage together with the Taoist temple.

"The people from the Purple Mansion have made their move." Yao Xi looked at the distant Immortal Palace.

"Not only that, Da Yan has also made a move." Li Yao turned his head.

A golden ancient ship, hundreds of feet long, flew in, hovering in the air, dazzling and magnificent. A sword beam slashed down and crashed into the crack.

"Zheng", "Zheng", "Zheng"...

The sword energy was like a dragon, as thick as a mountain, piercing through the sky and the earth. Its chilling killing intent was terrifying, and many people couldn't help but tremble.

The powerful sword intent was overwhelming, capable of tearing apart mountains and rivers and cutting off vast oceans!

"That's not enough. The small worlds created by the ancient sages are not so easy to open. We must also make a move." Elder Yaoguang quickly formed hand seals, and instantly, the entire palace was filled with golden light.

At the same time, hundreds of experts in the square unleashed their divine power, illuminating numerous Dao patterns within the square.

"boom!"

A great sun slowly rose, and thick divine rays shot out from it, crashing into the void rift.

Then, the Ji family, the Jiang family, Yaochi and other forces also took action, tearing through the void together to open up a passage.

With all the holy lands joining forces, the void rift was quickly opened, creating a passage.

At this moment, as the void passage expands, the scene inside becomes more distinct and the view more realistic.

"Charge in!" The Supreme Elder of the Water Palace took the lead and rushed towards the passage.

But the next moment, with a "poof," he exploded, shattering into pieces, with blood mist scattering everywhere.

This astonishing scene happened so fast that the others who wanted to rush in immediately stopped, staring in horror at the void passage.
