Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 30 The Rise of the Eastern Wilderness
The Eastern Wilderness is vast and boundless, and even a corner of it can be considered expansive. Just like this corner of the Southern Region, it stretches for tens of millions of miles from east to west, and the number of creatures inhabiting it is countless.

On this vast land, countless cultivators and lineages have been born, with many sects of immortal cultivation existing in a single country.

However, there are only two forces that can truly influence the general trend of the Southern Region. One is the Yao Guang Holy Land, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Although it has never produced a Great Emperor, it possesses a dragon-patterned black gold imperial cauldron, making it a rare and powerful force in the Eastern Wilderness.

The other is the Ancient Ji family, a powerful force that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Their ancestor was the Void Emperor who attained enlightenment hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the Void Mirror he left behind is said to be of immeasurable divine power.

The reason these two forces hold such a transcendent position is due to these two supreme weapons. Both the Emperor Cauldron and the Void Mirror were left behind by supreme figures, and their power, once unleashed, is beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Even moving mountains and filling seas, plucking stars and capturing the moon are not the true manifestation of power. Once the ultimate weapon is used, it will inevitably cause the world to collapse and split apart, making it the ultimate deterrent in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Previously, Qi Zhe had not seen any ultimate weapons in the Yao Guang Holy Land. Now, as he passed by the Ji family's gate, he was somewhat lost in thought as he looked at the ever-flowing Ji River.

"The void has been gone for many years, and now only the ancient mirror remains. Its next appearance in the world will be its final swan song." Qi Zhe's expression was indescribable.

He knew the story of the void, but without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't truly understand the desolation. Now, looking at the surging Ji River, he had a strange expression.

This is a great river that has flowed for hundreds of thousands of years, and it has reflected the bright moon on countless nights. It's just a pity that the rushing years can never return to the time when it existed in the void.

Then Qi Zhe looked up at the distant, continuous palaces, feeling somewhat wary of the Ji family now, because the descendants of the Void were not all benevolent and were not easy to provoke.

However, Qi Zhe was just passing by. After giving the Ji family one last look, Qi Zhe turned around and left, heading east.

He is now hesitant about whether to return to Yao Guang Holy Land, unsure if Yao Guang Holy Land will blame him for being missing for so many days. After much consideration, he decides to check the situation near Yao Guang Holy Land.

He was still thinking about the large tomb under the Yaoguang light and was looking for an opportunity to sneak in. He was really unwilling to leave like this.

Within a few days, Qi Zhe arrived outside the Yao Guang Holy Land and began to inquire about the news since he left. He discovered that there were still powerful figures in the Yao Guang Holy Land lingering in the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb.

Furthermore, rumors circulate among the various sects in the Eastern Wilderness that a wicked Taoist named Duan De has infiltrated the Yin Tomb and stolen the Desolate Tower. He is currently being hunted down by the entire world and has fled all the way to the Northern Region.

No one knew anything about Qi Zhe. Even if there was any information, it was that a genius disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land had gone missing. Some Yao Guang disciples even speculated that he had died in the chaos of the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb.

No one knew that Qi Zhe was safe and sound, and was lying in wait in a small town no more than a hundred miles outside the Yao Guang Holy Land, watching the Yao Guang Holy Land's every move.

"This is truly interesting; the Yao Guang Holy Land has actually gone to such lengths!" Qi Zhe looked at the cultivators constantly leaving the Yao Guang Holy Land, and the smile on his lips was hard to suppress.

In order to obtain the Desolate Tower, many holy lands have mobilized their entire forces, including the Yao Guang Holy Land. Outstanding disciples and many elders have begun to hunt down Duan De throughout the Eastern Wilderness, making a truly astonishing display of power.

Guang Qizhe saw that there were more than a dozen teams of Yao Guang disciples who had been dispatched. They were all disciples from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, some of whom were even from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Many of the previous generation's disciples had also emerged.

With such a grand display of force, Qi Zhe anticipated that Duan De would be severely injured even if he didn't die, and he felt inexplicably joyful.

"Whizzing."

Just as Qi Zhe was hiding in the small town, gloating, a series of whooshing sounds rang out above the town. A group of Yao Guang disciples returning from an outing had landed in the town.

"That scoundrel of a Taoist priest is too good at running. It's outrageous that so many of us couldn't catch him. He's practically a reincarnated rabbit spirit." "I think that fatso probably really got the Desolate Tower. Even while running away, he didn't forget to spout nonsense. He must be fearless."

"Don't even mention it! He insulted my ancestors for eight generations! I'm so angry!"

Amidst the discussions, more than a dozen Yao Guang disciples walked straight into a restaurant, intending to drink and make merry, leaving Qi Zhe, who was sitting in the restaurant, quite speechless.

This group had just failed to kill Duan De and had clearly suffered a great loss; they couldn't forget it after returning to their sect.

However, this also reminded Qi Zhe that Duan De was indeed quite capable. He was able to escape unscathed even when being hunted by all the major holy lands, and he even stirred up trouble while on the run, which was truly astonishing.

Amidst the commotion of the Yao Guang disciples, Qi Zhe quietly left the restaurant, preparing to seek refuge in the wilderness outside the city.

However, at this moment, Qi Zhe noticed dozens of divine rainbows soaring through the air from the direction of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and a large group of cultivators appeared above the small town in the blink of an eye.

"Jingle bells"

As this group appeared, a sound like wind chimes came from afar, accompanied by gusts of fragrant breeze, and a group of Yao Guang female disciples appeared before Qi Zhe.

As the most prestigious lineage in the Eastern Wilderness, Yao Guang has both male and female cultivators. Although they are clearly separated, they do have some contact. Qi Zhe once saw a few newly initiated girls on Qian Yuan Peak, but he never paid them any attention.

Even Qi Zhe had heard of this group, after all, everyone knew the name of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

Among the many Yao Guang female disciples before Qi Zhe, the Yao Guang Saintess, shrouded in a jeweled canopy, is the most eye-catching. Dressed in a rosy robe with a touch of vermilion on her forehead, she resembles a fairy descended from the Jade Palace, exuding a holy and ethereal aura.

"Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang." Qi Zhe was secretly shocked, somewhat surprised that she would appear at this time, which was unexpected.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang should have been born along with the Holy Son, but now that she has been born, does it also mean that the Holy Son of Yaoguang is about to be born and begin to stir up the world?

Meanwhile, many Yao Guang disciples who were drinking in the restaurant rushed out and looked at the Yao Guang Saintess and others passing by in the air with surprise.

However, many of the Yao Guang female disciples did not linger. As if they had something to do, they flew through the air and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"The birth of the Holy Maiden is truly unexpected. I'm afraid a major decision has been made within the sect. We should hurry back to the sect."

"The long-rumored Ji family divine body has emerged and begun challenging the great talents of the Southern Region. Perhaps this is related to it!"

As the group watched the departing Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, they thought of the long-rumored divine body and felt a strange sense of melancholy. With the emergence of geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness one after another, perhaps the great changes of this era had already begun.

"With Ji Haoyue emerging to challenge all the great talents, I also need to quickly improve my cultivation." Qi Zhe, hiding in the shadows, listened to the group's words with a dazed expression, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.

He has just entered the Other Shore Realm, and there are still Dao Palace Secret Realms waiting for him to cultivate in.
