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

"Old Lü!" Ye Fan was anxiously watching from a distant mountaintop. He produced a scroll in his hand, intending to throw it to Lü Yao, but he didn't have the chance.

"What should we do?" Pang Bo was also very anxious. He saw the Immortal Treasure Map in Ye Fan's hand and knew that Ye Fan's plan was to have Lü Yao use this ancient map as a protective magic weapon.

Lu Yao, however, remained unusually calm.

His combat strength was about four or five levels lower than that of the Silver Scale Ancestral King, but the other party was definitely not at the level of a peerless prodigy. So far, he could not see that the other party possessed a certain level of "forbidden" power.

Therefore, if he wanted to leave, the other party couldn't stop him at all. However, with Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Ji Zi, and others around, he couldn't just leave.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a purple-gold gourd trembled gently. This was a great sacred artifact left by Lao Tzu to his successors, and it was just one step away from becoming a quasi-emperor artifact. If he seized the opportunity, this artifact could definitely make up for the gap of four or five small steps.

Not to mention, he still had his Dao Body unused, representing his peak combat power.

Suddenly, countless runes appeared in Lü Yao's eyes, and multicolored light shot out. He saw a tree branch appear in the void.

"What is this?" Lu Yao sensed a hint of familiarity.

The branch appeared in front of Lü Yao and then quickly began to grow. In just a moment, it grew into a tree with a tall, large crown, lush green, and countless leaves interspersed with colorful flowers.

The leaves and flowers began to fall one after another, fluttering in the air and silently blocking out all the silver light.

An aura of supreme divinity and holiness emanated from the divine tree, carrying a sense of divinity and immortality.

"The Pure Land of the God-King!"

Lu Yao blinked and recognized this ancient phenomenon as the unparalleled skill of the God-King Body.

"boom"

In the void, petals fell in profusion, easily blocking the silvery light. Sparks flew everywhere, and clanging sounds rang out incessantly, almost shattering everyone's primordial spirits.

Lu Yao stopped dodging and stood in the Pure Land of the God King, opening his Chaos Heavenly Eye to search for Jiang Taixu's whereabouts, but unfortunately found nothing.

Silver Scale Ancestral King's expression changed slightly, clearly recognizing him as well, followed by even greater anger: "Jiang Taixu! Are you going to protect this young saint who attacked the Heavenly Emperor's son?"

The silver full moon in the sky turned back and transformed once more into eighteen divine rings hanging behind his head.

He knew that after Jiang Taixu arrived, he had even less of a chance. That young sage was strange and difficult to defeat, so the only outcome was for him to leave.

A figure dressed in white, as white as snow, strode over from afar. His long hair was crystal clear, his face was handsome, and his temperament was aloof. In just two or three steps, he traversed hundreds of miles and arrived in front of Lü Yao.

Lu Yao carefully sensed the aura emanating from Jiang Taixu, which was as deep and boundless as an abyss, even more terrifying than the Silver Scale Ancestral King, a late-stage Saint.

Jiang Taixu is at least at the peak of the Saint realm, and may even have reached the level of Saint King.

"Greetings, Senior God King." Lü Yao bowed.

Jiang Taixu raised his hands and a surge of holy power lifted Lü Yao up. He said with satisfaction, "In just twenty-one years, you have actually reached this point. Many senior cultivators can hardly compare to you."

"It's just that I work a little harder than the average person," Lü Yao blinked and chuckled.

In front of elders like Jiang Taixu and Wei Yi, he remained as naive as ever, like an innocent junior.

"Hmm, let me handle this matter." Jiang Taixu looked at the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals a hundred feet away. "It's been a long time, Divine Moon Ancestor King."

So this is his real name? Judging from his appearance and the name, he seems to be from the lineage of the Sun and Moon Divine Generals. It seems Jiang Taixu has had quite a bit of dealing with the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals. Lü Yao seemed to be deep in thought.

The Silver Moon Ancestral King's face darkened, his gloom so intense it seemed to drip water: "Jiang Taixu, why did your human race allow a sage to attack the ancient princes? This violates the agreement that there are no sages under heaven. Does the human race intend to provoke a war?"

The first thing the Divine Moon Ancestor King said was to slap a huge label on someone.

Jiang Taixu didn't care at all and said calmly, "The Holy Son of Yaoguang, the Holy Body, and the Northern God are all peers. They are still at the Dao-Slaying level. Their ability to have Saint-level combat power is entirely due to their talent and opportunities. You don't need to make trouble. His growth experience is clear in the eyes of the Beidou cultivators."

If Lü Yao had focused on cultivating only one secret realm, everyone would have been able to guess that possibility. However, apart from the Four Extremes, he specialized in cultivating four secret realms, and his normal cultivation level did not fall behind. In fact, he was even faster than the five great geniuses of the human race. This made those who had guessed a little fall into self-doubt again.

Not to mention, when he made his move, he didn't reveal a trace of saintly aura, concealing it very well, giving Jiang Taixu the opportunity to talk nonsense.

Jiang Taixu, Wei Yi, and other elder sages who were close to him could guess his condition to some extent, but since he was no longer on the Big Dipper Ancient Star after the emergence of the Primordial Clan, they could not be so sure.

The Divine Moon Ancestor King scolded, "Do you think I'm an ignorant child? Even young ancient emperors struggle to break through the barrier of the Holy Path. Only by achieving the Great Perfection of the Dao and being empowered by divine restrictions can one face a saint. But this brat..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Taixu interrupted him: "If you want to start a war with the human race, then just say so. Senior Gai Jiuyou recently obtained the Pan Peach Divine Medicine and is recovering very well."

This is yet another strange tale recently. Gai Jiuyou, the strongest guardian of the Beidou human race, an old man who failed to attain enlightenment nine thousand years ago, recently discussed the Dao with the Great Sage of Shencan Ridge. The Great Sage discovered that Gai Jiuyou's illness had actually improved somewhat, and he had once again reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"You!" The Divine Moon Ancestor King was furious. He actually used a Quasi-Emperor to intimidate people. If my clan's divine generals return, I will definitely kill that sickly old fellow.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and left, transforming into a beam of moonlight that stretched across the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Jiang Taixu did not stop him. He looked towards the outer realm and transmitted his voice for thousands of miles: "Return quickly!"

Before long, three streams of light returned from beyond the realm. They were the three half-saints from Yaochi, the Ji family, and the Jiang family, each holding a legendary sacred artifact.

When the half-saint of the Jiang family saw Jiang Taixu, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately stepped forward: "Greetings, God King."

He was actually a thousand years older than Jiang Taixu, and was sealed away using special methods. Because he was not a saint, he did not use the Divine Source Liquid.

If the suppression of the Great Dao had not been lessened, he would have gradually aged and died, let alone broken through the Dao-Slaying Realm and advanced further.

This situation is actually quite common; it happens in various holy sites. The Golden Age is already a consensus.

"Greetings, Sage Jiang." Yaochi and the half-sage of the Ji family bowed.

"Yes." Jiang Taixu nodded and said kindly, "Thank you for your help, Yaochi and Ji family."

"It's only right for the human race to help each other," said the half-saint of the Ji family with a smile.

Leaving aside Yaochi, the relationship between the Jiang family, the Ji family, and Yaoguang should become much closer in the future. Ji Zi Xiao Zu and Yaoguang Sheng Zi already have a good relationship.

That's good. When the Holy Son of Yaoguang becomes emperor in the future, the Ji family will not be in danger of decline. The Eighth Ancestor lineage was simply making a mess of things before.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo stepped forward and gave Lü Yao a big hug.

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "Old Lü, you've become even more amazing, able to rival the Ancestral King!"

Pang Bo clenched his fist and waved it forcefully: "Old Lu, when we have time, let's ambush and kill the ancestral king of the ancient clans, and give them a good beating!"

Unexpectedly, Lü Yao shook his head and said, "I won't stay in Beidou for long. I will soon embark on the ancient star road to participate in the strongest trial. I've come back this time to see you all before leaving."

"..." Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at each other, but couldn't find the words to stop them.

Ji Haoyue and Ji Zi stood silently to the side. Jiang Yifei respectfully greeted them and then retreated behind Jiang Taixu.

Jiang Taixu looked at Lü Yao and said, "It's good that the Heavenly Emperor's son wasn't killed. At least it left a fig leaf for the Primordial Clan, preventing an immediate full-scale war. The Human Clan still needs to make some preparations, and many fellow Daoists are preparing to break through."

Those who can stand at the pinnacle of the second or even third generation of the Immortal Realm in the post-ancient era have a chance to become saints in the ancient era when spiritual energy is abundant. If the human race has more contemporary saints, the younger generation can cultivate for a few more days, which will naturally bring many benefits.

Lu Yao replied, "I left the Heavenly Emperor's son and the others behind to serve as stepping stones for Ye Fan, Jiang Yifei, and the others."

He then looked at Ye Fan and the others: "I will not kill them. I will leave them for you. Only after you defeat them one by one will you be qualified to embark on the trial and sweep across an ancient road."

These words were quite blunt, like an elder instructing a junior, but Ye Fan, Jiang Yifei, and the others didn't find anything wrong with them, nor did even the Void Emperor's son, Ji Zi.

Lu Yao is too powerful, so powerful that his peers despair.

"Hmm." Jiang Taixu didn't say anything, just gave a soft hum.

The three human semi-saints looked at Lü Yao's youthful face and were filled with emotion.

As they were talking, the half-saints from the three major forces of Primordial Lake, Golden Clan, and Blood Phoenix Mountain quietly left with the ancient prince. Many fierce clans and royal families also stopped making noise and followed suit.

On the contrary, the Divine Silkworm Taoist and the Fire Kirin were waiting in the distance, their intentions unknown.

Jiang Taixu: "What are your plans now?"

"Let's go back to the Yao Guang Holy Land first," Lü Yao said truthfully.

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave.” Jiang Taixu then made a single gesture, and a passage opened in the void. He stepped inside, followed closely by the Jiang family’s Half-Saint and Jiang Yifei.

The half-saint of the Ji family also left with Ji Zi and Ji Haoyue.

Seeing that the ancient clans were leaving, the Half-Saint of Yaochi bid farewell to Lü Yao and returned to the Yaochi Holy Land not far away.

Lü Yao looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo, and invited, "Where are you two planning to go? Why don't you come back to Yao Guang with me for a chat? I recently returned to Earth and met your parents..."

"What?" Ye Fan stepped forward and grabbed Lü Yao's shoulders with both hands, his expression excited. "How are my parents' health?"

"Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye are both well, as are Pang Bo's parents," Lu Yao said.

Although Pang Bo valued cultivation more, he was also very excited to hear news of his parents: "I'll go back to Yaoguang with you. Did you bring your phone? Did you record any videos for my parents?"

"They all...they all..."

As Lü Yao spoke, he took out an ancient array platform, and the dense array patterns were activated, with a rich flow of void energy surging out.

With his current strength, he can traverse the five domains across a wide area without needing to rely on the domain gate.

"Fellow Daoist Yaoguang, please wait!" The Divine Silkworm Daoist suddenly spoke from afar, stepping forward.

Fire Kirin followed with a look of curiosity and exploration on its face.

"I am Shencan Daoren from Shencan Ridge." "I am Huoqizi from Huolin Cave."

The two revealed their names, unlike the ancient imperial forces such as the Golden Clan and Ancient Emperor Mountain, who were high and mighty and even harbored a vague hostility towards the human race.

However, in the original story, Huo Qizi initially joined forces with the Heavenly Emperor's son to besiege and kill the human race's prodigies.

"Lu Yao, the Holy Son of Yao Guang." Lu Yao returned the greeting, seemingly guessing something in his heart.

As expected, the Divine Silkworm Daoist spoke up: "I heard that Brother Lü once cut out a divine silkworm. Could you return it to my clan? My clan will surely repay you handsomely. The population of Divine Silkworm Ridge is dwindling, and every member of our clan is extremely precious."

A flash of light appeared in Lü Yao's hand, revealing a gourd filled with chaotic energy. He gently tilted it, and a small creature resembling a divine phoenix emerged.

Xiao Guai devoured a large amount of rare and precious materials and underwent another transformation. It was unknown what he would transform from a divine phoenix into, so Lü Yao put him into the internal space of his weapon.

The little creature was suddenly summoned, its beautiful wings fluttering gently as it opened its dazed eyes.

He looked at the Divine Silkworm Taoist with a puzzled expression; this Taoist, who reeked of alcohol, seemed to have a mysterious connection with his bloodline.

"Chirp chirp!" the little silkworm chirped twice.

Completely bewildered, Ye Fan quietly asked via telepathy, "Old Lu, what's this little guy saying?"

Lü Yao replied, "Introduce yourself and ask who the other person is."

The Divine Silkworm Clan is rare, with only a handful of members per generation, just like the Fighting Holy Ape Clan.

This time it just so happens that the God Emperor himself asked for it. Next time, it's very likely that it will be the Divine Silkworm Princess, who is at the Saint King level, who will ask for it personally.

However, since he had already cultivated the Divine Silkworm Ancient Scripture, he really shouldn't be greedy enough to keep this precious little guy.

"You don't want to come with me?" After the two divine silkworms had been exchanging words for a while, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworms suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

"You want to follow Lü Yao? Because he has many fragments of divine source and many spiritual herbs and divine objects?" The Divine Silkworm Daoist's face darkened.

This was the first time he had heard someone say that the divine artifacts of the Divine Silkworm Ridge lineage were inferior to a Dao-Slaying King, even if this King was somewhat abnormal and could strike down an Ancestral King.

Huo Qizi listened for a long time. Huo Lin Cave had a long history and he understood some of the languages ​​unique to some powerful races. So he advised, "Fellow Daoist Shen Can, since your clansmen are unwilling to go back with you, following this Fellow Daoist Lü Yao is a good option."
