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

"When do you plan to rescue Pang Bo?" Lü Yao asked.

Ye Fan, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Do Yan Ruyu and the Azure Dragon King really not allow us to take Pang Bo away? This is the territory of the Peerless Demon King. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to take any risks."

If anything unexpected happens during the rescue of Pang Bo, disturbing the Azure Dragon King, it will likely lead to a great showdown between the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Knowing that the Yao Guang Holy Land had fallen out with the Ji family and was now also at odds with the demon race, Ye Fan's situation in the Eastern Wilderness was likely to become precarious.

Ye Fan voiced his concerns, but Lu Yao looked at him with a half-smile: "I met you and Pang Bo on the same day. You are eager to save him, but am I heartless? I knew I was not capable enough before, so I did not rush to rescue him. Now that the matter is before me, how can I back down?"

He continued, “The Azure Dragon King is an unparalleled powerhouse with an ultimate imperial weapon, but I can also fight against such a powerhouse, wielding the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. If we were to fight to the death, it would be easy to see who would emerge victorious. As for the factions of the ultimate powers, they are constantly splitting and merging, and are not simply adversaries. You don’t need to think about it too much.”

Thinking of the Ji family, Lü Yao frowned deeply.

The Ji family has been too peaceful for the past six months, which is not a good thing. I wonder what exactly happened within the Ji family.

Dogs that bite don't bark; dogs that bark are mostly bluffing.

Immediately, his brows relaxed. He was ready to meet any challenge head-on. He was now almost in control, just one step away from becoming the most powerful force in the Eastern Wilderness. He would soon be able to confront those top experts who had been famous for one or two thousand years. There was no need to worry too much.

At worst, it would be a confrontation between supreme imperial weapons. Surely the Ji family wouldn't awaken the sage's essence just for him?

However, shouldn't the Ji family's imperial prince, as well as the ancient princes and princesses, be born soon? Otherwise, he already has no rivals among the younger generation...

Ye Fan interrupted his thoughts: "In that case, I want to explore the Immortal Palace tonight, and then we can enter it together tomorrow night to rescue Pang Bo."

Lü Yao agreed: "Do as you say. Let's not delay and leave now."

He already wanted to know whether the scriptures of the vegetative Qingdi could awaken within him, whether they could be devoured by the Devouring Heaven Immortal Technique, and whether, as he expected, they could condense the phantom of the Great Emperor from the Divine Treasury of the Liver.

If feasible, with four of the five emperors present, only lacking the spleen's divine treasure, one can know what changes will occur in the Dao Palace's secret realm.

"Walk."

Lu Yao and Ye Fan went next door to call Hei Huang and Tu Fei, and in an instant, several streaks of light streaked across the sky.

In the stillness of the night, above the thick clouds, stands the enormous Hall of Immortality, its walls bearing the marks of time. Even with some parts collapsed, it still appears magnificent and awe-inspiring, the residence of a sage tens of thousands of years ago.

Countless meteorites surround the main hall, forming a meteorite cluster. Some are over ten meters long, while others are only the size of a palm. All the meteorites gather together, surrounding the Hall of Immortality.

Lu Yao stood in the distance, amidst the clouds, surveying the ancient hall.

The Black Emperor stood beside him, his expression grave: "Although there are no guards here, these meteorites form a great array that even powerful beings would find difficult to break through."

Fearing discovery, the Black Emperor had specially carved a Xuan Yu Platform and used the Boundless Array Pattern to hide the three people and the dog in the void. However, upon arrival, he discovered that it was completely unnecessary, as the array was sufficient to deal with any intruders.

Lu Yao, having gained the enlightenment of "Hun Yuan Gui Xu", looked at the meteorites in the sky with his divine eyes. Sure enough, each meteorite was engraved with mysterious and complex Dao patterns, and then a large array was formed between the meteorite forest.

Ye Fan was anxious, but his face remained calm as he asked the Black Emperor, "Can this formation be broken?"

Black Emperor's eyes shone with golden divine light as he looked at the great array in the meteorite forest. After about several dozen breaths, he confirmed, "It can be broken, but some materials are needed."

Ye Fan asked, "What materials are needed?"

The Black Emperor rattled off many names, including uncommon materials such as Divine Blood Soil, Xuan Turtle Shell, and Frost Jade.

Ye Fan was no longer a novice in cultivation, and he gasped when he heard about these rare materials.

Tu Fei, a discerning person, widened his eyes and stammered, "So many... only the Azure Dragon King's treasure vault could contain them all, right?"

"You damn dog, you're not using this opportunity to benefit yourself, are you?" Ye Fan's questioning gaze pierced Black Emperor's heart like needles.

Black King immediately jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on: "Woof woof woof—who am I doing this for? How can you doubt me like this?"

Ye Fan immediately exposed him: "You're after the Demon Emperor's Scripture. Otherwise, why would you risk your life so easily? You'd have to skin me alive before you'd even make a move!"

Lies won't break a person's defenses, only the truth will. The Black Emperor really has ulterior motives; he wants to keep a few divine materials for himself. He knows that Ye Fan still has tens of thousands of catties of source material, making him quite valuable.

Lu Yao pondered for a moment: "These few divine materials are unnecessary."

He named four rare materials, which undoubtedly revealed the Black Emperor's ulterior motives.

Ye Fan glared fiercely at Hei Huang: "Lu Yao saw through you, didn't he!"

Seeing that Lü Yao had accurately pointed out the trick, Black Emperor looked on incredulously: "You're not good at array patterns, how could you find it?!"

"Once you understand one method, you can understand all methods. I have studied the Origin Heaven Technique and the Beginningless Deceitful Heaven Array Pattern, and by analogy, I have gained some understanding."

Lu Yao's voice was gentle and his demeanor was serene. At this moment, in Ye Fan's heart, he was like the sun and moon in the sky, an immortal being.

Because of a single sentence, he saved himself a lot of money. He was far from having enough source material to break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. If he had been tricked by the Black Emperor, when would he have been able to gather enough for tens of millions of catties?

"You damn dog, you're up to no good, taking advantage of my misfortune," Ye Fan muttered.

The man and the dog were arguing loudly, and if it weren't for the Boundless Array Patterns covering their faces, they would have been found by the demon race long ago.

Of course, it was precisely because he knew there was something to hide that Ye Fan dared to tease the "dog" so arrogantly.

In the end, Lu Yao persuaded the man and the dog to stop, and they reconciled.

Tu Fei interjected, "With so many materials, we might not be able to gather them all within the small secret realm, right? We can't exactly rob the Azure Dragon King's treasure vault, can we?"

Ye Fan and the Black Emperor exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Lü Yao: "Lord Lü (Lao Lü), tell me the truth, can you defeat two powerful beings?"

One of them was the supreme powerhouse, the Azure Dragon King.

What do you mean? If I say I can, you'll immediately prepare to plunder the fourth largest bandit in the Northern Region, right?

Seeing that Lü Yao remained silent, the Black Emperor asked, "There are two materials that are quite rare and may not be available in the Demon City. The Holy Son, being of noble birth, should have some..."

That damned dog, realizing he couldn't swindle Ye Fan out of his savings, has now set his sights on him.

Lü Yao was too lazy to say anything and left directly, returning to his own palace.

Tomorrow during the day, they will definitely have the materials ready. He will then appear tomorrow night, enter the Hall of Immortality, and casually kill the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor.

Chapter 126 Yan Ruyu

The next day at noon, while Lü Yao was cultivating, a female demon came to his door and invited him to join her.

"Holy Prince, my princess invites you to lunch." The little fairy slowly bowed and said softly, her voice clear and melodious, like a nightingale in a tree, lively and innocent.

However, her original form should be among the flowers and plants, and her fragrance is just like that of celestial flowers such as peonies and goddesses of the Luo River, which is very different from those beasts that are transformed into demons.

Lu Yao asked curiously, "Why did Princess Yan suddenly invite me to dine?"

The little imp's bright eyes blinked like two obsidian stones. After carefully recalling Yan Ruyu's words, she replied, "You will know when the Holy Son arrives."

Is it time for a showdown? Lü Yao wondered to himself.

"I understand. You go back first, I'll be right there."

Lu Yao dismissed the maid, got up and went to the next room to take a look. Sure enough, Ye Fan, Hei Huang and Tu Fei were not there, presumably they had gone to the Demon City to buy materials.

Before long, he arrived at Yan Ruyu's palace. There were maids waiting outside the palace, who led him inside. Qin Yao was not there; he wondered if she had taken Ye Fan to buy materials.

She did not lead Lü Yao into the main hall, but instead took a side path, winding and turning, to a garden behind the main hall.

As soon as you enter the park, you see flowers blooming everywhere, their fragrance filling the air. The mist from the plants and trees blends with the essence of heaven and earth, dampening your clothes.

After walking several dozen steps, they turned past a huge rock and came to a pond. A small table was placed on the edge of the pond, and a beautiful figure sat on one side.

She was indeed as beautiful as jade.

She wore a white gauze dress that clung to her body, making her waist appear incredibly slender. Her skin was radiant and translucent, and her dark hair was draped over one side. From the side, she looked like the ultimate combination of a demoness and a fairy.

She rested one hand on the table and held the wine pot in the other, rising slightly to refill it, the bulging pot lightly touching the edge of the table.

The little fairy led Lü Yao to the pond and then quietly retreated, leaving only Yan Ruyu and Lü Yao in the garden.

The garden is beautiful and exquisite, completely different from the grandeur of the main hall. The spring water gurgles, the pond reflects the water, and the flowers bloom in abundance, as if locking the goddess of spring in this place.

Yan Ruyu put down the wine pot, then looked up in surprise, revealing her long, fair neck.

She smiled gently, like a goddess of spring in bloom, sensing Lü Yao's arrival, which was why she filled the wine cup.

"Please sit down, Your Majesty."

Yan Ruyu extended her delicate hand, inviting Lü Yao to take a seat.

Lu Yao didn't stand on ceremony and walked to the pond, where he sat opposite Yan Ruyu, separated by a small table.

“Princess Yan, you must have put a lot of effort into preparing these dishes.” Lu Yao looked at the dishes, spiritual fruits, and wine on the table; each one was extraordinary.

If he wasn't mistaken, even though many of them were exotic beasts: "This dish looks like the meat of a gluttonous boar."

Yan Ruyu sighed, "As expected of someone from a sacred place, you could tell the raw materials at a glance."

Taozhi possesses a trace of the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast Taotie, and is on the same level as the dragon and the roc, but it cannot transform into human form and has become a ferocious beast.

Looking around, the items on the table were all extraordinary: a seven-colored dragon loach, an eight-treasure duck...

To be honest, since joining Yaoguang, he has been constantly on the go, and the food he eats here is not as precious as what he gets from Yan Ruyu.

"I wonder what Princess Yan means by this?" Lu Yao paused and pointed to the items on the table.

Yan Ruyu clasped her hands between her knees and, upon hearing Lü Yao's words, joked, "Since I have a purpose, shouldn't I prepare a table of food and wine?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Your words are so frightening that I'll leave immediately."

Yan Ruyu picked up the jade pen and placed a piece of gluttonous pig meat on the white jade plate in front of her for Lü Yao: "Please, Holy Son, try my cooking first."

Lü Yao: "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, he put the beast meat into his mouth. Instantly, a flavor exploded in his mouth, which was very delicious. Even after swallowing it, Lü Yao still couldn't get enough of the taste.

He exclaimed, "Princess Yan's cooking skills are truly... amazing!"

Lu Yao was at a loss for words for a moment and used an extremely vulgar description.

Yan Ruyu pursed her red lips, her eyes sparkling, and a blush rose to the tips of her ears:

"Ruyu once said that he wanted to ask the Holy Son to nurture the heart of the ancestral emperor. Last night, after returning home, he tossed and turned without sleeping. He also visited the Flood Dragon King and wrote letters to several demon kings, including the Peacock King, the Old Peng King, and the Crow Taoist. He just received replies from the demon kings. So Ruyu invited the Holy Son here, hoping to reach an agreement."

She did not mention becoming partners, but only spoke of nurturing the emperor's heart.

"Oh?" Lü Yao asked curiously, "How do we reach an agreement?"

"Yesterday I intended to present the treasure map to leave a good impression, and then discuss the matter again once the Holy Son had made up his mind, but the Emperor's heart is weary, and he cannot wait any longer," Yan Ruyu explained.

"If the Holy Son is willing to nurture the Emperor's heart, the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan will be the Holy Son's most steadfast ally."

Lu Yao put down the jade pendant and said solemnly, "Princess Yan, please don't joke. The Emperor's Heart resides in the Sea of ​​Wheels, which will affect my cultivation. You know the struggle for the Emperor's Path; one step behind means falling behind at every step."
