In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 135 Breaking into the Immortal Transformation Pool

Yaochi's allies this time are the Jiang family and the demon race. Each of the three forces sent three top experts, plus an imperial weapon. As for the younger generation, they were just there to watch the show and can be disregarded.

With nine top-tier experts and three imperial weapons, their strength is enough to sweep away any openly known force in the Big Dipper.

Of course, this is on the premise that no sage is involved; otherwise, once a sage appears, no one can stop him!

This period is when the value of a saint is at its highest. Once Ye Fan becomes a king, saints will become mere units of combat power and lose all their significance.

After the three parties finished their discussions, Zhang Taichu led everyone into the Qinling Mountains and headed to the dried-up lake.

On the way there, Zhang Taichu didn't rest either, and began to summarize the gains from the battle.

"As expected, someone has figured out a way to counter the Heavenly Tribulation. Those top geniuses who undergo tribulation every time they advance in their cultivation have a certain resistance to the Heavenly Tribulation."

"For example, Ye Fan, and Wang Teng this time, both have the ability to withstand the heavenly tribulation, and even continue fighting during the heavenly tribulation."

"The Central Emperor and the Southern Demon, who are on par with Wang Teng, probably also possess this kind of strength. Of course, this is only the first level of the Heavenly Tribulation. If I were to use the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dual Emperor Script, it would be a completely different story. However, this is my true trump card, and I cannot use it in front of everyone."

The so-called second tribulation of Emperor Wen is to summon lightning imperial weapons to attack enemies. Zhang Taichu can now summon seven imperial weapons, which are the seven he encountered when he underwent his previous tribulation.

This is far more powerful than the Thunder Dragon. Even Zhang Taichu, who often bathes in the Heavenly Tribulation, couldn't break through the Lightning Emperor Weapon.

Previously, he had to exhaust the energy of the heavenly tribulation to survive it.

Previously, when he underwent tribulation, he always took the initiative, directly destroying the heavenly tribulation and then absorbing it with the Devouring Profound Truth.

This is the first time I've seen a situation where even with all cards played, the game can only end in a draw.

"Besides the Heavenly Tribulation Secret Technique, the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold also proves that before breaking through, it is impossible to steal techniques in battle. Perhaps Saint-level techniques can do it, but Emperor-level scriptures cannot."

"There's another matter, which is the so-called Great Emperor's Secret Technique, which is on the same level as the Immortal Metal Profound Truth that I comprehended on my own."

.

Zhang Taichu thought of Wang Teng's Martial Dao Heavenly Eye. The original work did not explicitly state that the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye was a Chaotic Ancient Emperor Technique, but judging from the fact that nine imperial runes would flash when it was used, even if it was not a Chaotic Ancient Emperor Technique, it was still a forbidden secret technique of the same level as the Great Emperor's Secret Technique.

After all, the nine imperial scripts are the most powerful proof of imperial techniques, and another proof is the nine imperial scripts that Ye Fan learned from the Daoist scriptures.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan's Daoist scripture only contains the Wheel Sea chapter, so although he has nine Emperor scriptures, he doesn't know their specific usage and can only figure them out on his own.

However, Wang Teng possesses the complete Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, so his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye is most likely one of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Techniques.

"Although it is a true imperial technique, it was learned from someone else, so even with nine imperial runes, the power it unleashes is about the same as my Immortal Metal Profound Meaning."

After careful consideration, Zhang Taichu realized that the secret technique, which combined three profound mysteries, was powerful enough to rival the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

This is the true value of self-created cultivation techniques. The world of "Covering the Sky" encourages originality. Blindly learning from predecessors, even if you reach the top level, will only get you to the Great Saint realm at most.

Even becoming a quasi-emperor requires forging one's own path, let alone becoming an emperor.

"In this battle, Wang Teng was enduring the Heavenly Tribulation while fighting me, while I used the Origin Heaven Array Pattern to barely manage a draw. In other words, our overall strength is about the same, but our raw strength is still quite different."

"However, Wang Teng's period of explosive power has passed. He will only ever be a king until his death, and his strength will improve very little. To put it bluntly, he's just an upgraded version of the Golden-Winged Roc King. He has good talent, but a bad mentality, so he's unlikely to achieve great things!"

After summarizing the battle, everyone arrived at their designated location.

A dried-up lake appeared before them, but they were shocked to find that no matter which way they went, they could not get close to it.

The Peacock King roared, and the trend of the mountains and rivers shattering was about to appear, but it was forcibly resolved by an invisible force.

Not to mention the mountains and rivers were shattered, not even a stone by the roadside, a small tree, or even a leaf on a tree was damaged.

The Peacock King and the other two powerful immortals had solemn expressions, knowing they had come to the right place.

"Could this be the legendary Immortal Transformation Pool? It's already dried up?"

The Azure Dragon King looked puzzled. At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly used the Origin Heaven Divine Eye and began to look around.

The problem was quickly discovered, and Zhang Taichu then spoke up to explain to everyone.

"This dried-up lake is just the entrance to the Immortal Transformation Pool. The real Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon's Lair are in a place similar to a realm within a realm. You must take a specific path to enter, otherwise you will have to use a sacred weapon to forcibly clear the way."

After saying that, Zhang Taichu took out the Radiant Mirror and unleashed a trace of holy power.

As a result, part of the mist covering the small lake immediately dissipated, and everyone was horrified to discover that the original mist actually concealed a chaotic divine light.

That's the kind of ghostly thing Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue encountered in the Bronze Immortal Palace. If it weren't for the green copper block, the two of them would have been ground into powder by the chaos.

Hidden within the chaotic divine light were eight winding paths, clearly the eight normal routes.

"Besides using sacred weapons, you can also find these eight paths using source techniques, but well—never mind, you'll understand once you walk them."

"6

Zhang Taichu took the lead, with the others following behind, while Ye Fan continued to study the terrain.

The group followed a path and soon realized that they should have already crossed the dried-up lake, but the road ahead was still very long, indicating that they had clearly entered a realm within a realm.

Suddenly, the Peacock King roared and unleashed a five-colored divine light with his palm. The next second, a strange-looking creature was smashed into pieces.

And this was like a signal, as sinister-looking monsters kept rushing out of the mist, each exuding the powerful aura of a half-step Great Power!

"This is a spirit! We'd better use holy magic or magical artifacts to attack it!"

The Red Dragon Taoist quickly discerned the origins of these monsters and loudly alerted everyone.

Everyone took action, with Jiang Yifei even taking out a replica of the Hengyu Furnace, unleashing towering flames that burned more than a dozen Yin spirits to death in one go.

Perhaps the replica was too powerful, or perhaps it crossed the area where the spirits were active. In any case, after the battle, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again, and the spirits stopped bothering them!

"This is about the maximum we can go. The area of ​​this realm within a realm is not comparable to that of the Immortal Abode Small World. We have just traveled about ninety miles, which is the limit we can reach at the moment. If we go another ten miles, we will reach the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon Cave. We can even see them now."

Zhang Taichu pointed to the distant mountains, then pointed to a spot at the foot of another mountain.

Everyone looked up and saw a celestial pool on the mountaintop, radiating a mysterious and enigmatic light.

At the foot of the mountain, somewhere, a breathtaking dragon aura emanates.

"The Immortal Ascension Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair! They've really been found!"

The three old demons were very excited; they were the oldest among everyone present.

Although they each obtained a 90,000-year-old medicinal king in their previous immortal mansions, which could add several hundred years to their lifespan.

But who would complain about living too long? Compared to the Queen Mother of the West and others, they still haven't escaped the threat of lifespan, which is why they brought Yan Ruyu with them.

Their goal is the Dragon Pearl in the Eternal Dragon's Lair, another elixir for prolonging life.

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Zhang Taichu had to pour cold water on their enthusiasm.

"First of all, the next ten miles are impossible to cross now, even with holy weapons or even imperial weapons clearing the way. You can try it if you don't believe me."

The three, including the Peacock King, looked at Yan Ruyu. Yan Ruyu summoned the Chaos Green Lotus and unleashed her imperial might to press forward.

Instead of opening up a new path, it attracted a mysterious force, causing Yan Ruyu's face to turn pale.

The Peacock King accepted the Chaos Green Lotus, but the situation remained the same.

"This final ten miles will only open at the right time; for now, we can only wait!"

The group tried several more methods, but all of them were the same. The Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon Cave were right in front of them, but they just couldn't get past them.

At this moment, Ye Fan also noticed something and stepped over.

"The terrain here is recorded in the Origin Heaven Book, and it is called the Ascension Land. The Immortal Transformation Pool belongs to another world, so it cannot descend until the time is right."

"Furthermore—that ancient dragon's lair is extremely dangerous. I sensed a terrifying being inside, most likely a Holy Spirit."

"The Holy Spirit!?"

Everyone was taken aback, especially the people from Yaochi, who were nurturing the Holy Spirit and hadn't expected to find one here as well.

At this moment, Zhang Taizhuang added with a serious expression.

"The Ancient Dragon's Lair contains not only the Holy Spirit, but also a red-haired monster."

"He is the third-generation Source Master, the ancestor of the Cai family. You two should have heard of him."

Zhang Taichu looked at Ye Fan and Hei Huang. The two had recently stolen the "Military Secret" from the Qin Clan and naturally knew about the history of the Qin Clan. They learned that this sect was likely founded by the Cai clan.

The Cai family's ancestor was the third-generation Yuan Tianshi, who was extremely famous.

"The third-generation Source Master? The one who, according to legend, had dealings with the Azure Emperor?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was learned and had a remarkable memory; she had also read about the relevant records in the scriptures of the Yaochi Holy Land.

Then she thought of something else.

"If it really is the ancestor of the Cai clan, then it will be very troublesome. Legend has it that before this Yuan Tianshi died, he buried himself in the Qinling Mountains in an attempt to ward off misfortune in his later years. And the Qinling Mountains are a famous place for raising corpses. If he succeeds—"

Now everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. Corpse spirits, or "corpse-dissolving immortals" for short, although not considered holy spirits, were no less terrifying than holy spirits.

"Good heavens, the Azure Emperor has been dead for tens of thousands of years, doesn't that mean this is an ancient zombie that has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

Pang Bo incorporated the memories of the thirteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, thus gaining some understanding of the Azure Emperor.

Ye Fan looked at Zhang Taichu with a solemn expression.

"Tai Chu, you once said that Yuan Tianshi would suffer an ominous event in his later years, his whole body would be covered in red hair, and he would turn into a monster. Could it be that—"

Zhang Taichu nodded slightly.

"Nine times out of ten, what's in the Eternal Dragon's Lair is this thing, and the elixir of immortality you're looking for is inside its belly. In other words, you can't get the treasure without killing it."
