In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Lu Yao did not leave immediately. He had a hot lunch with his parents, and then, under their astonished and terrified gazes, he became illusory and disappeared.

It was the familiar cobblestone path again, the pressure was still there, but there was now a force targeting the primordial spirit.

"If a prodigy manages to traverse this path, their physical body, primordial spirit, and cultivation will all be honed to their limits."

Lu Yao walked forward with firm steps, no more than a hundred feet away from the Five-Colored Altar. Once he got there, it was truly a test for a king.

The mysterious spiritual power plunged him into one illusion after another, while his immortal skills and the Five Primordial Elements gradually disappeared, becoming difficult to perceive within the illusions, as if this path was being used to temper his Dao heart.

Wealthy merchants, politicians, generals, emperors, spiritual practitioners, patients...

Each illusion was like a cycle, drawing him in so deeply that he could no longer distinguish reality from illusion.

Only in the fleeting moment of awakening between cycles of reincarnation can he rediscover his true self.

His resolve grew stronger, his primordial spirit became more refined, and his gaze gradually turned weathered...

He went through about sixteen cycles of reincarnation before finally giving in. When his eyes cleared again and he saw the path inlaid with red gold and jade, he knew he had reached his limit.

The body cracked under immense pressure, and blood, shimmering with seven-colored light, flowed out, dripping onto the ground and being completely evaporated by the high temperature.

His primordial spirit trembled slightly; if he took another step forward, it might shatter on the spot.

"It's reached its limit. The last hundred steps should be aimed at those with the cultivation levels of half-saints and saints," Lu Yao guessed.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and returned along the same path. Within a few breaths, he absorbed the nearby solar fire essence, and streams of spiritual energy rose up, rapidly healing his injuries.

"How is it?" Li Wan asked with concern as she saw him return from the gravel road.

Lu Yao said, "To step onto the Five-Colored Altar, one must at least have the cultivation of a Saint."

This place was never made for mediocre people.

The final hundred steps will likely be a test of the mind with each step, doubling the challenge for cultivators with every step.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first. Your people are all worried about you."

"it is good."

The two returned along the same route and walked out of the stone gate.

Having experienced sixteen environmental changes, Lü Yao thought it would take a long time, but when he came out, he found that only one day had passed.

"What should we do with this place? Should we just hand it over to the Golden Crow Clan and let them come and go as they please?" Li Wan looked at this ancestral vein as she rode on auspicious clouds.

"I will leave behind a method here, and no one may enter without a sacred weapon."

A burst of dark divine light shot out from behind his head; these were eight array flags, their power awe-inspiring. As soon as they appeared, the clouds in all directions were scattered.

These are the Golden Crow Formation Flags that Nannan played with for a while before she got tired of them; when combined, they are comparable to sacred artifacts.

"Keng"

Lu Yao activated the "Soldier" secret technique, erasing the spiritual imprint left on it by the Golden Crow Prince. With a push of his hand, the eight flags transformed into streams of light, scattering in all directions.

Rays of light intertwined in the void, forming an ancient divine array. The divine light blocked the heavens, its power astonishing.

"Let's go. Without the sacred artifact, even the Golden Crow King can't get in."

The eight array flags disappeared into the void, making this place look no different from ordinary places, but anyone who stepped on them would be killed by the great array.

After doing all this, Lü Yao took Li Wan back to the Sun God Court.

As soon as they entered the protective formation, they saw Li Zhengyang walking towards them with a serious expression. Behind him were Chi Jiao, Yan Yixi, and Li Tian. Yi Qingwu held Xiao Nannan's hand and watched from afar.

Something big has happened.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yao asked in confusion. Could it be that the Golden Crow experts had ambushed and killed high-ranking members of the Divine Cult while he was away?

Li Zhengyang took a deep breath and slowly said, "A human saint appeared in Tianyuan City, Luzhou, and killed the Taiyin Sect Master and a hundred powerful beings."

The news struck Li Wan like a tsunami. A saint? A saint walking in the world?

The suppression of Ziwei by the Azure Emperor's Great Dao is lighter than that of the Big Dipper, so the true overlords on this ancient star are all Great Completion Kings.

The previous generations of overlords, those old guys who could live for over six thousand years, were likely to become saints, and if they were lucky, they could even seal themselves with divine source liquid.

Therefore, all cultivators in the Ziwei sect know that most of the forces that can dominate a region have a sage in charge.

The legendary artifacts passed down through generations represent a formidable foundation, but even more terrifying are their sage ancestors.

As for the saints wandering around Tianyuan City in Luzhou, apart from the old madman, Lü Yao couldn't think of anyone else.

"What is the current situation in Tianyuan City?" Lu Yao asked gravely.

Chapter 277 The Storm Gathers in the North Sea

Despite its decline, the Sun God Cult still has two thousand members who can be sent out to various continents to gather information.

After Lü Yao arrived, he successively killed many experts of the Golden Crow Clan, which made the Golden Crow Clan much more restrained.

But this calm revealed an eeriness, the calm before the storm. Everyone knew that the Golden Crow Clan was definitely preparing to strike at any moment, to truly annihilate the Sun God Cult and the Eight Views Palace.

"According to the information we have gathered, the area outside Tianyuan City that is rumored to be the place where the Human Emperor comprehended the Dao has been completely sealed off by the Taiyin Holy Power, forming a sacred domain. Anyone who tries to get close will be turned into Xuanbing."

Everyone is speculating that the ancient human sage obtained the Taiyin Ancient Scripture and is undergoing a terrifying transformation.

Lü Yao entered the main hall, followed by Li Zhengyang and the others, who then took their seats.

After a moment of contemplation, Lü Yao said, "Have someone keep an eye on that area. As soon as the power of the Taiyin Holy Force weakens, come back and tell me immediately."

The old madman must have obtained the Taiyin Ancient Scripture outside Tianyuan City. He even suspected that a human saint had entered that area and left behind the inheritance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, all of which the old madman obtained.

“Sages often go into seclusion for several years at a time, so there’s no need to pay too much attention to it for now. I’ll first inform Fellow Daoist Zhengyang and Fellow Daoist Zhengyue about the Sun Secret Realm.”

"Oh?"

The group from the Sun God Cult straightened up, knowing that Lü Yao was about to talk about what happened inside the Sun God's Secret Realm.

Afterwards, Lü Yao told everyone about the Sage Stone Forest, the Five-Colored Altar, and the map of the North Sea. Upon hearing that they had not directly found the Ancient Sun Scripture and the Sun Emperor Tower, everyone felt somewhat regretful.

"I am going to the North Sea to find the location of Tang Valley. There should be the Immortal Fusang Tree there, and the Holy Empress's Hand should also be there."

Lu Yao paused.

“I brought Li Wan with me. She is a solar body and has the bloodline of the Holy Emperor. Perhaps she can gain the approval of the Immortal Fusang Tree and inform the Holy Emperor to take action.”

If we were to find a comparison between the Fusang Tree and the Sun Emperor, it would be more like the relationship between the Black Emperor and Wushi than the relationship between the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality and Wushi.

After the death of the Sun Emperor, the Immortal Fusang took root in Tanggu for millions of years and never followed anyone again. Its relationship with the Sun Emperor was more like that of a fellow Daoist and comrade-in-arms than that of a master and servant.

Li Zhengyang immediately made the decision and said to Li Wan, "You will follow Fellow Daoist Lü to the North Sea and must find Tang Valley."

With Lu Yao, a king-level warrior, at his disposal, possessing both a sacred weapon and a damaged quasi-emperor weapon, he has nothing to fear even if the Golden Crow King comes.

"Furthermore," Lu Yao said, looking at Li Tian, ​​Yan Yixi, and Chi Jiao, "all three of you will enter the Sun Secret Realm to cultivate. You are not allowed to come out until you reach the pinnacle of Immortal Level Two."

He gave the three men a death order, and several seven-colored runes appeared between his brows, imprinting themselves into the palms of everyone present.

"With this mark, one can enter and exit the Golden Crow Formation."

Li Wan stretched out her wrist, and with a few "pop" sounds, several drops of blood popped out from her skin, one of each falling in front of everyone.

"Yes, Master/Lord of the Dao," the three replied in unison.

Lu Yao frowned and added, "Although I have taken over the two great Heavenly Techniques of Ruthlessness and Six Desires, I am not your Lord of Human Desires. Don't spread rumors."

He didn't want to be tainted by the shameful reputation of the Human Desire Path. Outside Xuandu Cave, everyone was dead, and no one heard Li Tian and the other's nonsense. But that wouldn't do.

He's not Emperor Hengyu, so he doesn't care about saving face.

Yan Yixi was aloof, but Li Tian had no serious thoughts and said directly:

"We call you Dao Lord, not the Dao Lord of Human Desire, but the Lord of All Daos. If you attain enlightenment in the future, you may call yourself Dao Lord or Dao Ancestor, ushering in a new era and becoming as famous as the Heavenly Venerable, Ancient Emperor, and Great Emperor."

Lu Yao smiled and raised an eyebrow: "You're very good with words."

Those words really hit home for him. How can he be so good at reading people's minds? No wonder he's a practitioner of the Six Desires Heaven Technique. Focusing his attention on love and romance is such a waste.

"You flatter me, Dao Master." Li Tian chuckled.

"When I return, I will send you to serve as the Grand Eunuch to the Empress Ziwei."

"Uh......"

"Ha ha ha ha......."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Yi Qingwu covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling. Xiao Nannan was completely bewildered, not knowing what everyone was laughing about.

The next day, Lü Yao took Li Wan to Beihai.

The Sun God Court has a sage array inscribed in the void, which prohibits crossing the void. Therefore, the two left the God Court and prepared to cross the continent using the Xuan Yu Platform.

"The Palace Master of the Eight Views Palace has come out, and it seems that the incomplete solar body is also there."

This place is constantly under the watchful eyes of various major powers, including the Golden Crow Clan.

Since the Golden Crow King emerged from seclusion, the number of spies here has multiplied several times, all waiting for the members of the Sun God Cult to come out of this tortoise shell.

"Report back to the clan king immediately. The Eight Views Palace Master has traveled across the void and mobilized all the Golden Crows in Ziwei's garrisons to search for the two of them."

"Yes."

The two golden crows obeyed the order and immediately left quietly, returning to the ancestral land of the golden crow clan.

Lu Yao certainly sensed these people, but it didn't matter. He was just swaggering around, which was giving them a chance, wasn't it?

In the original story, when Ye Fan became a Saint King and returned to Ziwei to find Xiao Nannan, the Golden Crow Clan had a Great Saint in charge. Even if that Great Saint broke through more than two hundred years later, he was still a Saint now.

If you want to force your way into the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, you must either fully revive the Devouring Demon Jar or go there with the Old Madman.

It would be better to lure the Golden Crow King into attacking him, and wipe out all the visible experts first.

......

Lü Yao led Li Wan northward, crossing the sea several times, leaving Shenzhou, passing Luzhou, and entering the territory of Beihai.

The seawater here is black, eerily black, extremely peculiar, and very different from other oceans.

On this day, the surface of the North Sea was calm and still, but suddenly ripples appeared in the void, opening a passage. Two figures stepped out and stood in the void.

"Is this the North Sea?" Li Wan rarely went out. Since she was born, all she had heard was that an elder had been killed by the Golden Crow Clan and was not allowed to leave the Divine Court without permission.
