Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Chapter 152 Rare and precious treasures belong to the virtuous.

Upon hearing this, the demons opposite all changed their expressions slightly and couldn't help but gasp. How strong must an ancient corpse that has lived from the mythical era be? It's probably no weaker than an ancient emperor.

However, soon, the gazes of the crowd towards Luo Heng became more suspicious, clearly indicating that they did not quite believe him.

Luo Heng coughed a few times and explained, "Well—there was no direct combat; I outsmarted them."

Upon hearing this, the demons opposite them showed a look of disbelief.

Upon seeing this, Luo Heng quickly changed the subject.

"As you all have probably heard, the Underworld Lord is the only Heavenly Lord in recorded history to have attained enlightenment through a corpse."

His blood can be described as yin giving rise to yang, making it most suitable for nourishing all kinds of yin spirits and ghosts.

That demon elder is now just a remnant soul. If he could be nourished by this drop of Netherworld Emperor's blood, he might not recover all his former strength, but he could probably regain two or three tenths of it. I imagine Pang Bo wouldn't refuse in exchange for this."

Upon hearing that this blood was left by the Underworld Lord from the mythical era, the demons opposite them all gasped in shock, and their gazes toward the jade box became increasingly intense.

Even Yan Ruyu, who was usually calm, became a little breathless.

Although she possesses the Azure Emperor's Heart and can produce a small amount of Azure Emperor's Blood, each ancient emperor follows a different path, and the power contained in their blood varies.

Moreover, in order to ensure that his descendants could use it safely, the Azure Emperor had already refined most of its power in his Azure Emperor Heart, so it could only be used as a special divine medicine.

However, this drop of Netherworld Lord's blood had clearly not undergone any refining; it was genuine Emperor's blood, and its power was naturally unimaginable.

At this moment, all the demons turned their attention to Yan Ruyu.

After all, that Demon Emperor was from their lineage. Although Yan Ruyu was temporarily residing in the Azure Dragon King's small world, the two were not in a subordinate relationship, so he couldn't say anything and could only leave it to Yan Ruyu's own choice.

Having calmed down, Yan Ruyu spoke softly, "The conditions offered by Holy Son Luo Heng are, if not fair, quite generous. Are there any other requests?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng smiled naturally and said, "Princess Yan is indeed exceptionally intelligent. Since I've offered such a valuable treasure in this transaction, it's not simply because I want Pang Bo's freedom."

He paused, then continued, "As you will know in the future, Pang Bo himself possesses the bloodline of a demon god, and can be considered a natural member of your demon race."

After such a long time, that senior demon emperor must have taught Pang Bo many secret techniques of the demon race.

I think we're not strangers, so why not turn hostility into friendship? We'll drop the matter of that Demon Emperor's possession, and the Demon Emperor won't pursue the matter of Pang Bo's demonic arts. What do you say?

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment. But looking at the spirited Luo Heng opposite her, she also recalled how he had asked her to exchange for the Azure Emperor's secret technique years ago.

At that time, I was still secretly resentful of him.

But after what happened with Ji Haoyue and the Supreme Emperor Weapon, even after finally escaping, he still had to face the pursuit of the Ji family.

After that, they were displaced again, taking refuge under the command of various powerful demons, leading a life of constant wandering.

Looking back now, when Luo Heng came to me with an ultimate imperial weapon and a saint, it was just a fair trade, and he did not bully the weak.

Comparing the two, she couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably disposed towards Luo Heng.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu said calmly, "This is indeed a good idea. But in the end, it depends on what my elder thinks."

Luo Heng nodded in agreement.

Yan Ruyu didn't say much, but turned around and gave Qin Yao a few instructions.

The woman nodded, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the small world, clearly going to invite that old monster.

Neither Luo Heng nor Yan Ruyu mentioned "what would happen if that old monster didn't agree."

Because they both knew perfectly well that Luo Heng was now the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and his personal visit with an ultimate imperial weapon and a powerful protector made his intentions clear.

If that old monster knows what's good for him, we can still have some goodwill towards him; if he doesn't—

Ha ha.

Of course, no one would point this out; they would maintain a facade of harmony.

Seeing that things were settled here, Luo Heng turned to the Azure Dragon King, a smile plastered on his face: "Senior Azure Dragon King, I brought with me several longevity pills and spiritual herbs. If we put them together, they should be able to extend your life by about 120 years."

Even if the older generation had taken some before, and the effects were somewhat diminished, it should still last for seventy or eighty years.

He paused, then smiled even more broadly: "This junior wishes to use these to exchange for the remains of the Ancient Sacred Body in your possession, senior."

The Azure Dragon King's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, "How do you know I possess the remains of the Ancient Sacred Body?"

Luo Heng smiled but didn't say anything.

This reaction itself is already an answer.

The Azure Dragon King's eyes flickered, clearly plotting something. After a moment, he flicked his sleeve and said coldly, "I refuse. You Yao Guang stole my seventh brother's Devouring Demon Jar, and now you want to exchange it for my Ancient Sacred Body remains? Dream on."

Luo Heng wasn't annoyed. He shifted his gaze slightly and still smiled, "Senior Azure Dragon King is mistaken. Since ancient times, rare and precious treasures have belonged to the virtuous. The fact that we, Yao Guang, were able to snatch them proves that we are more virtuous than Senior Tu Tian."

He paused, then added, "Besides, we didn't kill him back then; we only took the magic jar and didn't harm Senior Tu Tian. That's already very lenient."

Ye Fan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch his lips. Was this advice or just provocation? He quickly sent a telepathic message: "Old Luo, speak properly, don't provoke him!"

Luo Heng completely ignored him, still smiling as he looked at the other side with an expression that said, "I'm telling the truth."

The veins on the Azure Dragon King's forehead throbbed, and his anger surged.

Just then, an arrogant voice rang out from the crowd: "Talented lands and rare treasures belong to the virtuous? Fine! I like that saying! Then I'd like to try and see if I have the virtue!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with long, golden hair walking out from the group of demons.

His eyes were incredibly sharp, his face was fair, and his blond hair was as dazzling as the sunlight. He exuded an air of untamed arrogance.

It was none other than the Golden-Winged Roc King.

After stepping out of the crowd, without saying a word, two dazzling beams of light shot out from his eyes and headed straight for Ye Fan!

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, not to be outdone. Two beams of divine light shot from his eyes, within which ancient characters rose and fell—this was the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye he had obtained from Wang Teng!

The two gazes met in mid-air, and the Golden-Winged Roc King's divine light instantly dissipated. Ye Fan's gaze, undiminished in its force, shot straight into his eyes!

The Golden-Winged Roc King's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to dodge.

A beam of divine light grazed his cheek.

A moment later, a very thin bloodstain appeared on his face, and a trickle of bright red blood slowly seeped out.

The arrogance on the Golden-Winged Roc King's face finally subsided somewhat, and his gaze towards Ye Fan became serious. He spoke coldly. #8

"I wholeheartedly agree with what Saint Luo Heng said—that rare treasures belong to the virtuous. I have heard that Ye Fan, the Ancient Saint Body, possesses a cauldron crafted from Xuanhuang essence. Such a divine object should naturally belong to the virtuous."

He stepped forward, his fighting spirit palpable: "Why don't we have a friendly spar and see who truly deserves the title of virtuous one?"

Luo Heng, sitting opposite him, curled his lips slightly.

That's exactly what he was waiting for.
