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

Without any hesitation, Lü Yao sat down cross-legged and discovered that beneath countless white clouds lay a vast and magnificent landscape.

I wonder which sage was so generous as to create a small world within the Yao Guang Main Hall.

Lu Yao watched as the Holy Lord slowly walked forward and sat on the highest cloud-shaped prayer mat.

After returning to Yaoguang Peak, Weiwei and Yao Xi left and went back to their own cave dwellings, without following them in.

"This hall is used to entertain distinguished guests, and only the most powerful fifty-six lineage masters, holy sons and holy daughters of the Yao Guang Holy Land are allowed to enter."

The fifty-six lineages correspond to the legacies left by the fifty-six sages, plus the Holy Lord and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter who represent the future, making a total of fifty-nine seats.

But the two skills of Devouring Heaven and Undying of the Ruthless lineage cannot be made public, so how can they obtain a seat here?

“The Dragon Head Peak lineage has produced sages and left behind scriptures, which is why it occupies a place here.”

Seemingly aware of what was puzzling Lü Yao, the Holy Lord Li Daoqing offered him a special explanation.

Lu Yao's heart tightened: the Holy Lord definitely knew about the situation at Dragon Head Peak, and should have guessed that he was cultivating one of the Dragon Head Peak's secret techniques, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a statement.

Seeing that Lü Yao's expression was calm and he did not show his emotions, the Holy Lord nodded: "Yao Guang cultivates the Undying Heavenly Art. As far as I know, in each era, only one person can cultivate the Heavenly Art, and the rest can only be used as furnaces."

Lu Yao seemed to have a guess in his mind what the Holy Lord was going to say.

The lineage that understands the Ruthless Ones the most is probably the Holy Lord's lineage, with whom they have lived for 100,000 years, both cooperating and competing. It is not surprising that they understand the two cultivation methods of the Ruthless Ones.

As for saying that they don't understand at all, that's probably impossible. It's impossible for every Holy Lord of the past to be so useless, otherwise the Holy Land would have belonged to the ruthless lineage long ago.

"Since you were able to defeat Yao Guang, it means that you were once a furnace that was abandoned by Dragon Head Peak."

Holy Lord Li Daoqing rubbed his thumb against his index finger joint, slowly pondering how to speak in a way that would gain the young man's approval:

“Your defeat of Yao Guang does not mean that Dragon Head Peak has completely given up on him. They may be hedging their bets on both you and Yao Guang, taking advantage of the natural restraint of the Undying against the Devouring Heaven. Once Yao Guang’s cultivation level increases, the outcome between you two at the Dao-Slaying Pass is still uncertain.”

What does the Holy Lord mean? Lü Yao wondered to himself.

"If you are willing to wholeheartedly side with my lineage, you will receive my full support, and any request you make will be fulfilled."

The true intentions were revealed when the truth was revealed: the Holy Lord wanted to win me over. In this way, the Holy Son would be the Holy Lord's man, and the Ruthless Ones' lineage would not be in power in the Yao Guang Holy Land in the future.

"Isn't the Holy Lord afraid that if I devour the source, I will be hunted down by everyone in the world, which would only bring trouble to the Holy Land?"

Holy Lord Li Daoqing said calmly, "Dragon Head Peak caused trouble outside, but to outsiders, wasn't it still the Yao Guang Holy Land that did it? The connection of ten thousand years cannot be severed."

That's the truth. Once the Devouring Heaven Demon Art appears in the world, no one will care about the difference between the Holy Lord's lineage and the Ruthless Man's lineage. The Yao Guang Holy Land will become the Devouring Heaven Demon Art's lair.

The Holy Lord added, "Devouring the essence of living beings is ultimately against the natural order. If you wish, I can send a powerful expert to lead a team into the ancient tombs to bring back the remains of ancient geniuses for you to devour."

Lu Yao looked at the Holy Lord, seemingly lost in thought.

It seems that these powerful figures do have a moral bottom line, but not much. They're just digging up graves for their own power, not massacring entire cities.

"My cultivation method has broken free from its constraints. It emphasizes understanding the Tao through reading scriptures, absorbing precious treasures to gain wisdom, and nourishing oneself with divine resources."

Chapter Sixty-One: The Black Gold Cauldron with Dragon Pattern

This statement almost perfectly describes Lü Yao's current situation.

Whenever the "Heaven-Devouring Immortal Technique" devours the Dao and principles from other scriptures and feeds back to Lü Yao, it will trigger changes in the environment, causing laws corresponding to the Dao and principles to wash over the body and sea of ​​consciousness. At this time, if a large amount of essence is absorbed, the essence, energy and spirit will transform simultaneously.

But he added one more thing to what he said to the Holy Lord Li Daoqing—precious treasures and divine objects.

He doesn't devour people's origins, but instead comprehends the principles of different scriptures and devours the corresponding laws and fragments of order from the corresponding heavenly and divine objects. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

This way, others will be more convinced that he is completely different from the former cultivators of the Devouring Heaven lineage.

The Holy Lord was shocked: "What? You don't need to devour the source?"

He couldn't help but be surprised.

What realm is Lü Yao at? The Four Extremes Secret Realm.

What realm did he reach when he arrived at the Holy Land of Yao Guang? The Other Shore.

He must have come into contact with demonic arts in the holy land. Even if he had only recently modified the demonic arts after cultivating to the fourth level, it would still be enough to demonstrate his talent.

What else could this be but talent?

Is the Sacred Land of Yao Guang about to produce a prodigy with extraordinary talent?

Lu Yao nodded: "I don't need the origin, but I need a lot of scriptures, divine objects and divine sources."

He paused for a moment: "At the very least, it must be a pure source."

He was really afraid that he would ask for too much, and that the Holy Land's reserves of divine energy were not that large, thus frightening the Holy Lord.

The Divine Source was created in a special environment before the ancient times. Now, it is likely that only powerful beings involved in the Emperor's Path can forcibly integrate the laws of heaven and earth into the source and artificially create the Divine Source.

Pure Source is different. Yao Guang Holy Land controls many large source mines in the Northern Region, and they produce them every day.

The Holy Lord said almost without hesitation, "The Holy Land will do its best to collect scriptures, cultivation techniques, divine treasures containing laws, and abundant pure sources for you."

Lü Yao's eyes lit up.

Generous, open, and imposing—this is the culmination of all the resources of the Holy Land to nurture a postnatal Chaos Body!

This is much better than the stinginess of the Ruthless lineage. Just as the Holy Lord said, it may take some time before the Dragon Pattern Peak Master completely gives up on the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

This is normal given the stereotype that Heavenly Skills are superior to Demonic Skills.

However, Holy Lord Li Daoqing knew that as long as the Holy Son was fully committed to the Holy Lord's lineage, what might be left behind in the future would be an improved version of the Imperial Scripture, making up for the lack of an Imperial Scripture in the Yao Guang era.

Even if resources are so abundant that they could bankrupt a holy land, as long as a Great Chaos Body can be created every few generations using these resources, it is still a profit.

The Holy Lord had lost his composure and stared intently at Lü Yao, hoping for a positive answer.

"I have one more condition."

"speak."

"I will keep the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron with me and frequently study the Dao patterns on it."

Lü Yao made a request that was both normal and abnormal.

This is normal because the Ji family's divine body carries the Void Mirror with them at all times, making it convenient to comprehend the Great Dao of the Void and to protect themselves. It seems that the sole heirs of various major forces all have this kind of authority.

The abnormal part is this: in the original story, Yao Guang never carried the Imperial Cauldron alone when traveling in the Great Wilderness. Perhaps the Holy Lord of Yao Guang did not agree?

The Holy Lord's lineage likely possesses partial control over imperial weapons, and it's possible that their priority is even higher than that of the Ruthless Man's lineage.

After all, this lineage is suspected to be the tomb guardian of a certain incarnation of the ruthless person.

This is good as it is. Both the Holy Land and the Ruthless Man's lineage recognize it, so it's reasonable and legal for them to bring the Imperial Weapon.

Once you become a Holy Son, you can carry the Imperial Weapon with you to comprehend its power. The Holy Lord will then arrange for a powerful protector to act as a "power bank" for the Imperial Weapon!

As expected, Holy Lord Li Daoqing did not hesitate for long and nodded directly: "I agree that you can keep the imperial weapon with you, and at the same time, I will arrange a powerful protector for you."

The Holy Lord is magnanimous!

Lü Yao immediately replied, "I am willing to fight for the Holy Land for the rest of my life!"

Holy Lord Li Daoqing was satisfied, his expression softening: His lineage represents the Holy Land!

Dragon Head Peak was certainly satisfied: the Ruthless lineage would definitely be the future rulers of the Holy Land, not to mention that Lü Yao was a practitioner of demonic arts.

Lu Yao was also satisfied: With the imperial weapon and the protection of a powerful figure, although he felt that the trouble he might cause in the future would not be something that a powerful figure could handle, it was alright. This represented the attitude of the Holy Land, and there were still kings and sages in its foundation!

All three parties were satisfied, and no one was injured, except for the former Holy Son Yao Guang.

In addition to reaching an agreement on the core issues, the Holy Land's Dharma Transmission Hall, Treasure Vault, Enlightenment Platform, and other places are fully open to him, and he can use them as long as he doesn't waste them.

The Holy Land of Yaoguang will do everything in its power to find sacred scriptures for him. The Holy Lord is even prepared to persuade the fifth-to-last ranked sage lineage to allow Lü Yao to exchange scriptures of the same level with others under appropriate circumstances.

"Then I will teach you the incantation to communicate with the Imperial Weapon and summon the Imperial Cauldron."

Once the deal was done, the Holy Lord immediately ordered Lü Yao to take the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron away.

Lü Yao smiled calmly: "No need."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand.

The void shattered inch by inch, and a great cauldron slowly emerged from it. Although it had not been revived, its extreme aura still made it difficult for the Holy Lord Li Daoqing to breathe.

This is the cauldron of the Holy Land, why is it now suppressing him with its aura! Holy Lord Li Daoqing roared inwardly.

Holy Lord Li Daoqing hurriedly used his secret technique, but found that the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron did not react at all.

Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron: I don't even want to talk to you! φ(*￣0￣)

But in Lü Yao's eyes, the Emperor's Cauldron was like a docile child, slowly shrinking and falling into his hands.

Lu Yao could feel the intimacy of the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron towards him.

The Holy Lord suddenly realized: "Two years ago, the Imperial Cauldron revived because of you!"

Lü Yao: "At that time, I tried to modify the Wheel Sea chapter of the Scripture, and accidentally triggered the revival of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron."

The Holy Lord murmured, "No wonder, a great emperor is destined to emerge in this era of Yao Guang! That lineage actually regards you as a furnace, how short-sighted!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter, a hearty laugh that shook the mountains and the heavens.

“Go back. Your protector is right outside the door. He usually stays hidden, but he will intervene when you encounter unavoidable danger.”

The emperor had given the order to leave, and Lü Yao had no intention of staying any longer.

The Dragon Head Peak Master is definitely still waiting to ask about the content of his conversation with the Holy Lord.

As for what kind of unavoidable danger, Lü Yao didn't ask. In any case, if he was injured by a peerless prodigy, he would most likely not take action.

"The disciple retire."

Lu Yao put the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron into his Sea of ​​Wheels and then left the main hall.

Strangely, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, despite being an imperial weapon, was still unable to occupy the center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness; instead, it was held in the hand of the Moral Illusion.

At this moment, He held a golden bone fragment in one hand and a black gold cauldron with dragon patterns in the other, sitting upright on the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Divine patterns surged from His body and flowed to the four directions of the Sea of ​​Wheels.

It is precisely because of these divine runes that the Sea of ​​Bitterness has continued to grow, the Spring of Life has opened up three outlets, and the Divine Bridge has become increasingly solid.

Lingbao Tianzun opened up nine life springs. Could this be the limit of the number of life springs?

Outside the hall, an old man dressed in gray was waiting. Regardless of his appearance, what was most memorable about him was that he had a poker face.
