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

The secret code will be exchanged in a year.

The old madman is in seclusion and we don't know when he'll emerge. When he does, we can exchange the Ancient Sun Scripture for the Ancient Moon Scripture with him, and that should be foolproof.

But we all need to wait patiently.

Back at the Sun God Court, Lü Yao instructed the Sun Cult Master, Li Zhengyue, to send people to monitor the movements of Tianyuan City and Fusang Kingdom.

The latter, in particular, according to the rumors he heard in Luzhou, seemed to have temporarily closed the mountain and recalled the Golden Crow Clan from all over the ancient star.

"I will be in seclusion in the Sun Realm for a year. You can come find me if you need anything." After making the arrangements, Lü Yao led Yi Qingwu and Xiao Nannan into the Sun Realm, intending to comprehend the countless Stone Forest inheritances.

......

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yao sat cross-legged under a stone pillar, carefully comprehending the Dao of this demon saint.

That year, he once again crossed two small steps, truly becoming a supreme being, on the same level as the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, Li Daoqing.

The Sea of ​​Wheels and the Sendai Secret Realm have also undergone tremendous changes. The former has completely turned into a pure white color, transforming from the Purple-Gold Bitter Sea into a White Bitter Sea.

This sea of ​​suffering, which is neither a divine body of light nor a chaotic body, greatly troubled Lü Yao.

"Boom!"

The white sea of ​​bitterness is calm yet turbulent, with a celestial plant rooted in its center. Three celestial flowers bloom on it, each containing a primordial phantom, a wisp of mysterious white energy, and a flower bud, which is suspected to be a phantom of a spiritual treasure.

Purple-gold pages, the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, golden bone fragments, and other items floated above the Life Spring, gushing forth with radiant essence, constantly nourishing these sacred objects.

The Heavenly Platform between the eyebrows is where the Devouring Demon Jar, the Chaos Gourd, and the God-Slaying Whip were conceived.

A phantom figure radiating dazzling golden light sat on the celestial platform, continuously cultivating this secret realm.

Although the Heavenly Gate of Severing the Dao blocked his way, and a single secret realm could not produce combat power surpassing that of a second-level immortal, Lü Yao still gained great benefits.

Moreover, at this moment, with the five secret realms resonating together and standing firm in the divine forbidden zone, he already possessed the combat power of a king.

Once the last wisp of Daoist essence and the last rune were comprehended by the "Five Primordial Elements," Lü Yao stood up, stepped onto the cobblestone path, and continued forward without stopping, even when he reached the last hundred steps.

Li Tian, ​​Yan Yixi, and Yi Qingwu awoke from their enlightenment and watched as Lü Yao walked the last thirty steps, utterly astonished.

"According to the Dao Lord, one hundred steps is the threshold of becoming a king, thirty steps is the threshold of becoming a great king, and twenty steps is the threshold of becoming a half-saint..."

Yan Yixi found it hard to believe.

“He…” Yi Qingwu’s eyes shone with excitement, her fists clenched, she was a little nervous herself.

Li Tian clicked his tongue in amazement: "A peak Great Power is comparable to a Great Completion King. If this one were to sever the Dao, wouldn't he be able to suppress a Dao-Severing King with a single move?"

On the ancient star Ziwei, the foundation of saints is rarely seen. The strongest are the Great Masters of various sects, and only a few major powers possess them.

During this year, Li Tian abandoned his ancestor who had abandoned his disciple, gave up his desires for men and women, and used the illusions on the stone path to experience the seven emotions and six desires of the human world. His cultivation progressed extremely quickly, far surpassing Yan Yixi.

She has already reached the eighth step, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yi Qingwu, and will soon reach the pinnacle.

On the contrary, Yan Yixi, after catching up with great effort, finally stepped onto the seventh small step recently.

"It seems that it wouldn't be bad for you and me to be Daoist disciples for the Dao Master, with the Daoist names Wuqing and Liuyu." Li Tian winked and joked with his senior brother Yan Yixi.

Soon, Lü Yao stopped twenty steps away from the Five-Colored Altar, and then turned back. If he had taken another half step forward, his body would have completely collapsed.

That was a realm involving "sainthood," not something he could touch.

Lu Yao returned to the stone tablet engraved with the star map and saw three people coming from the stone forest.

"Congratulations, Dao Master, on reaching the pinnacle of Immortal Two!" Yan Yixi and Li Tian said in unison.

The little girl that Yi Qingwu was holding was pulled over by Lü Yao and held in his arms.

"Go and cultivate yourself properly first; I have some things to think about."

"Yes."

The three of them returned to the stone pillar where they were meditating.

"Big brother, what are you looking at?" the little girl asked.

"Tell me, should we go straight back to Beidou, or go to Honghuang, Gouchen, or Feixian Ancient Star?" Lü Yao pointed to several stars on the star map.

Ziwei is the starting point, and the stars that follow are the three ancient stars of Honghuang, Gouchen, and Feixian. After Feixian, the first test for the human race begins.

The arrangement of these ancient stars is quite interesting, because Honghuang, Ziwei, and Gouchen are all legendary ancestral stars of the human race, while Feixian is the place where the surviving members of the Honghuang ancient star and the lineage of Qi cultivators went to seek immortality.

"Wherever big brother goes, I'll go." The little girl hugged Lü Yao's neck tightly, her eyes squinting with happiness.

“Gezhao Mountain on Earth, the Daoist scripture of Feixian Star, the lineage of Qi cultivators... the scriptures of Lingbao and Daode cannot avoid these two places..." Lü Yao made up his mind.

However, if he wants to step onto the Five-Colored Altar, he must have the combat power of a saint.

"First, try to sever the Dao. Once you achieve the Great Perfection of Kinghood, you might be able to get close to becoming a Saint."

Several days later, Lü Yao woke up Yi Qingwu and handed the little girl to her: "I'm going to Tianyuan City in Luzhou. There will be an earth-shattering battle there. Take good care of the little girl for me."

Before Yi Qingwu could speak, he left.

The Mingling Changsheng Temple and the Renwang Palace had a well-thought-out plan, constantly using false information to dampen the enthusiasm of various religions, but those old kings had very keen noses and probably all caught wind of it.

They're all old foxes who've lived for three or four thousand years; who doesn't know who?

Chapter 283 Ascension Cliff

The majestic power of the heavens, awe-inspiring to the world, finally subsided after half a day of continuous thunder.

The chaotic figure standing in the sky opened its mouth and swallowed, instantly depleting the source energy within a radius of thousands of miles.

The Sun Mountain Range had become almost a forbidden area in the Divine Land, and few other cultivators came here.

Since the sudden emergence of the master of the Eight Views Palace two years ago, the situation has become peculiar, making it difficult to see the way forward.

Lu Yao wasted no time. After recovering from the external wounds pierced by the Young Emperor's mark, he took out a lot of divine materials and carved the Xuan Yu Platform on the spot. Then he crossed the void and left the Sun Mountain Range.

At this point, he was already able to inscribe array patterns in mid-air and move tens of thousands of miles, but it was still not as far as using the Xuan Yu Platform, where a single teleportation could cover hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles.

His figure appeared and disappeared on the ground, shifting countless times, before finally appearing outside Tianyuan City.

He did not enter the city, nor did he rashly venture into the ocean of divine power formed by the sacred power of the moon. Instead, he found a mountain peak, sat down quietly, and looked at the divine mountain that pierced the clouds dozens of miles away.

The place of exchange, as the Taoist Sanque said, is right there.

The name Tianyuan City comes from this high mountain, which is shrouded in dragon energy and glowing with rosy light.

It is called Tianyuan Mountain.

Legend has it that after the Taiyin Human Emperor attained enlightenment, he failed in his conquest of the Immortal Realm and forcibly seized the Immortal Daoist temple.

However, these claims were all dismissed as nonsense, as Tianyuan Mountain was not as mystical as the Sun Mountain Range.

On the contrary, it is a fact recorded in ancient books that the Great Sage Taiyin imitated the ancestor, the Human Emperor, and preached the Dao at Tianyuan Mountain.

Of course, this Great Sage was not the Great Sage of the Duanmu Clan, but a true descendant of the Human Emperor. Some even say that he was the Human Emperor's biological son, and after becoming a Quasi-Emperor, he died in a certain upheaval.

“The ancient scripture of the gods, the son of the human emperor…” Suddenly, the skull of the Taiyin Saint appeared in Lü Yao’s hand.

They promised to bury him in the Taiyin Divine Sect, alongside his ancestors, but they still haven't kept their promise.

"It is said that Tianyuan Mountain is where the ancient prince preached. I wonder if it is appropriate to bury you here." Lu Yao murmured a few words, then put his head away, ignoring the two flashes of divine light it emitted.

The bodies of saints remain incorrupt for tens of thousands of years, and some even retain a trace of divine consciousness; perhaps the head still retains a trace of awareness.

As night fell, the moon in the sky shone with a hazy blue light, like a snail shell.

Tianyuan City stands tall on the earth, silently overlooking the vicissitudes of life, unchanged for millions of years.

All was silent, the stillness like a thin veil, making one reluctant to disturb the tranquility.

But eventually, people did arrive. Eighteen warships flew in from afar, like clouds, silently obscuring the moonlight and casting large shadows on the earth.

Lu Yao suddenly frowned, looking at Tianyuan City crouching on the ground like a giant beast in the distance, and thought of something.

A figure suddenly appeared on the ground, dressed in a purple robe, with gray hair, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. He was none other than the old national advisor of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

This time, Lü Yao brought only him along, no one else.

However, his injuries were still a problem even after consuming a 50,000-year-old Lesser Medicine King. It was a Dao injury caused by the backlash of Heavenly Secrets, which was not easy to heal.

"What brings you here?" The old Imperial Advisor of Heavenly Secrets looked at the young man warily, wondering if he was some ancient emperor or something.

"I am nearing the end of my life, and I cannot concern myself with matters concerning sages and emperors."

Lu Yao didn't expect that the old man would say it was out of the question as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, the secret of the character "者" concerns the Celestial Venerable of Longevity. If the Heavenly Master of Heavenly Secrets were to calculate it again, he would indeed be buried in Tianyuan today.

But what if we take a different approach?

Lu Yao pointed to the eighteen warships in front of him: "Later, help me calculate the other secrets of heaven."

Only then did the old Grand Master of Heavenly Secrets realize that he was surrounded by array patterns, completely integrated with the surrounding environment. He was somewhat surprised: "A corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern?"

Lu Yao had already laid out a corner of the Heaven-Deceiving Array to conceal his figure.

The old Grand Master Tianji looked at Tianyuan Mountain in the distance again: "That's the warship of the Human King Palace. Only the most distinguished people can use such a grand display when they travel."

His ears twitched, and he said again, "Someone else is coming."

In the distance, where the sacred power of the Taiyin was sealed off, an ancient Taoist temple floated silently past the edge of the black mist.

"This is an ancient Taoist temple dedicated to longevity, standing on the Nether Ridge for countless millennia. Some say it contains an immortal, legendary artifact. How has it come here today? Daoist Master, I wonder why Tianyuan Mountain is so bustling?"

The Imperial Preceptor asked in confusion, as he was not considered one of Lü Yao's own people and was unaware of many things.

Lu Yao directly stated: "The Changsheng Temple and the Human King Hall were supposed to exchange half a page of the Ancient Divine Scripture they each possessed here. Within a year, they released smoke twice, conducting a false exchange in two places, including the Feathered Immortal Cliff."

"The Ancient Scripture of the Gods!" The old Grand Master of Heavenly Secrets was shocked. This ancient scripture consisted of only one page, torn in two halves, and was extremely mysterious. It had been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and had touched the hearts of countless people.

The legend about it can be summed up in just two words: immortality.

But these two words have caused countless heroes to stumble and fall.

Therefore, all the major powers are eyeing this exchange covetously, trying every means to seize this page of the ancient divine scripture.

The Imperial Advisor involuntarily held his breath, afraid of being noticed by both sides.
