Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

And during these three days.

The old madman wasn't idle either.

He also gave some pointers to Jiang Tingting and Pang Bo.

Under the guidance of the old madman, Jiang Tingting gained a deeper understanding of the "Taiyin True Scripture". The strange phenomenon "the bright moon rising from the sea" became more and more solid, and her cold temperament was like that of the fairy of the moon.

Although Pang Bo did not learn the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, the old madman gave him some tips on demon cultivation, which greatly increased the power of his Demon Emperor Nine Slashes.

Everyone's strength has increased considerably in these short three days.

Jiang Xuan was satisfied with what he saw.

Although the special training was a bit tiring, I have to say...

Having a saint as a private tutor must feel really good.

Over the next three months, the once quiet valley became much more lively.

Although the old madman's madness had improved considerably, he still retained his habit of running away from time to time.

However, he no longer ran around aimlessly. Instead, relying on his terrifying cultivation as a saint, he entered and exited various primeval forests and even the lairs of some ferocious beasts.

It wasn't just to hunt exotic beasts to replenish the blood and energy of these growing juniors, but also to find various rare and precious medicinal herbs.

"Buzz—"

In the center of the valley, an ancient bronze furnace is placed above the divine fire.

The old madman sat cross-legged in front, his hands forming a mudra, refining elixirs.

He planned to refine the spiritual herbs he had found into a gentle elixir to help Jiang Xuan and Ye Fan cleanse their bodies and break through their cultivation levels.

During this period of spending time together, the feelings between everyone grew stronger.

Especially Jiang Tingting.

The little girl was innocent and carefree. Perhaps because she lacked love since childhood, she developed a great dependence on this seemingly strict but actually warm-hearted senior.

"Grandpa, have some water."

Jiang Tingting carried a bowl of spring water, ran to the old madman with her short legs, and obediently handed it to him.

The old madman put away his magic seal and looked at the exquisitely beautiful little girl in front of him. A rare, kind smile appeared on his weathered, bark-like old face.

"well."

He took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

Hearing that sweet "Grandpa" all day long, the old madman felt as if his long-dead and cold heart had been warmed up.

In his eyes, this girl was already like his own granddaughter.

Not far away, Jiang Xuan lay on a rocking chair, watching this scene of grandfatherly love and filial piety, lost in thought.

"The senior colleagues were truly exceptional to us."

Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

These days, the old madman is putting almost all his energy into training them.

But he could also sense that the old madman was becoming increasingly aged.

Six thousand years ago, the Tianxuan Holy Land was destroyed. Although the old madman survived, he was deeply troubled by inner demons, and with the erosion of time, his lifespan was probably about to run out.

"If he falls, won't I lose my 'backbone' in this world?"

Jiang Xuan sat up straight.

Whether out of gratitude or for his own sake, he felt he should do something.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment.

His divine sense sank into the sea of ​​suffering, searching the inner space of the nine-colored immortal cauldron.

Soon, he had a jade bottle and a jade box in his hands.

Jiang Xuan stood up and walked to the old madman.

"senior."

Jiang Xuan spoke up.

The old madman, who was teaching Jiang Tingting to identify medicinal herbs, looked up upon hearing this: "What's wrong? Is there something you're having trouble with in your cultivation?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head.

He handed the jade bottle and jade box directly to the old madman.

"These two items are for you."

The old madman took it with some doubt.

He first opened the jade box.

"Click."

The moment the lid was opened, an intensely fragrant aroma filled the entire valley.

Inside the box lay a bright red, translucent fruit, radiating a breathtaking life force.

"This is..." The old madman's pupils suddenly contracted.

He then quickly uncorked the jade bottle.

A sweet, clear vapor, imbued with divine radiance, drifted out.

"Sacred spring!"

The old madman slammed the lid shut and abruptly stood up.

He gave Jiang Xuan a deep look, his shock barely concealed.

He never expected that this junior would actually possess such a divine object.

Moreover, it's not just a little bit.

The sacred fruit was perfectly intact. The bottle of divine spring water weighed a full half-pound.

"It seems..." the old madman sighed inwardly, "This junior is indeed extraordinary. To be able to survive the desolate ancient forbidden land and even retrieve two divine artifacts from such a perilous place, such luck is simply heaven-defying."

He was well aware of the value of these two things.

For cultivators whose lifespan is about to end, this is a second life!

"Young friend."

The old madman didn't take it; instead, he pushed it back.

His expression turned extremely serious, and he asked, "Are you serious?"

"Do you know how precious these two divine objects are?"

"If it were taken out, it would be enough to make those holy lands and aristocratic families fight to the death, and even those reclusive old monsters would be unable to resist trying to snatch it."

Jiang Xuan smiled when he saw the old madman's serious expression.

"I know."

Jiang Xuan shrugged, looking relaxed.

"It's just sacred fruit and divine spring."

He pointed to the two items and said earnestly, "However, even the most precious things are meant to be used. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave them there to mold?"

Looking at the old madman's full head of white hair, Jiang Xuan said sincerely, "Senior, you need it more than we do."

"Your lifespan..."

Jiang Xuan didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already quite clear.

Hopefully, these two things can help the old madman break through his limitations and live another life.

At this moment, Jiang Tingting, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something as well.

She held the old madman's large hand, raised her head, and her big eyes were full of expectation.

"Yes, Grandpa."

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet.

"Tingting also wants you to live."

"Tingting wants Grandpa to stay with me forever."

During this period, the two were practically like grandfather and grandson.

Hearing those words, and looking into the sincere eyes of the two people, one big and one small, I felt a pang of sadness.

A long-lost warmth welled up in the old madman's heart.

The feeling of being cared for and concerned about made even his hardened Dao heart tremble slightly.

He remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he shook his head.

"No need."

The old madman refused and forcibly shoved the item back into Jiang Xuan's hands.

His eyes revealed the confidence and arrogance of a strong person.

"I am confident that I can break through to the next level."

"Now that I know Tianxuan still has hope, my inner knot has been untied a lot, and I have a purpose to live on."

The old madman said calmly, "Of course I won't die easily. You keep these two divine items; the road ahead is long, and you need them more than I do."

Jiang Xuan looked at the stubborn old man and felt a headache coming on.

Is it really that difficult to give gifts these days?

"senior."

Jiang Xuan sighed.

"That's not very interesting."

His expression suddenly hardened, and he forcefully slammed the jade box and jade bottle into the old madman's hand with a loud "smack".

"Senior, please take it."

Jiang Xuan had a roguish look on his face: "Anyway, I've already given this away, so it's no longer mine."

"If you don't want to, senior..."

Jiang Xuan pointed to the cliff outside the valley.

"Then I'll just throw it out; it'll make a noise, after all."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to snatch it and throw it down.

"you……"

The old madman looked at Jiang Xuan's wasteful behavior and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He could tell that the kid was determined to give it to him.

"That's enough, that's enough."

The old madman sighed, but was deeply moved.

He ultimately chose to accept it.

"I will remember this kindness."

However, he did not take it on the spot.

He carefully put away the jade box and jade bottle and placed them deep within his sea of ​​suffering.

He looked at Jiang Tingting, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes.

"Those with the Yin constitution will find cultivation difficult, and a great calamity is inevitable in the future."

The old madman thought to himself, "I should save these two divine items for Tingting to save her life later."

……

After that, the atmosphere of spiritual practice in the valley became even stronger.

Although the old madman didn't eat the sacred fruit, he was as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he paid even more attention to the special training of everyone.

Over the next six months.

Jiang Xuan deeply understood what it meant to "have a big tree to lean on for shade".

Every now and then, the old madman would bring in a large amount of rare resources, and even some alien species that Jiang Xuan had never seen before.

These resources were continuously poured into the four of them.

With such a terrifying accumulation of resources, and the personal guidance of a sage-level expert.

The cultivation levels of everyone rose rapidly, as if they were on a rocket.

Six months later.

Three powerful auras surged into the sky from the valley.

"boom!"

Divine power surged in the direction where Ye Fan and Pang Bo were located.

Ye Fan was radiant with golden light. In the sea of ​​suffering, a divine bridge spanned the chasm, leading directly to the other shore!

His physical body was even more terrifying; every move he made was accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder.

Pang Bo's demonic aura soared to the sky, and the faint phantom of an ancient demon appeared behind him. He had successfully stepped into the other shore realm.

the other side.

Jiang Tingting sat cross-legged under the laurel tree, with the bright moon hanging high behind her.

Although she was young, her Taiyin divine power was extremely pure. Under the careful guidance of the old madman, she actually crossed the Life Spring and broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm!

The one who made the biggest commotion was still Jiang Xuan.

"Buzz—"

Five-colored divine light flowed around the cave where Jiang Xuan was located.

He sat cross-legged in the void, the Nine-Colored Immortal Cauldron within his body trembling gently, emitting the sounds of the Great Dao.

On his sea of ​​suffering, the other shore was not the end.

A magnificent Taoist palace, appearing and disappearing, seemed to stand in the clouds and celestial palace.

Inside the Taoist temple, the sound of chanting scriptures could be heard continuously.

The Mind's Treasury, open!

Jiang Xuan has broken through to the Dao Palace realm!

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the vast, ocean-like divine power within his body, as well as the new insights brought by the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

He looked at the old madman not far away, who was watching them with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Jiang Xuan's lips couldn't help but curl upwards wildly.

He was very happy.

What is spiritual practice?

This is spiritual practice!

You don't have to fight to the death to seize resources, you don't have to worry about incomplete cultivation techniques, and you'll have dedicated protectors to guide you.

All you have to do is open your mouth, and the medicinal resources will be delivered to you.

"really."

Jiang Xuan stretched out a big yawn and sighed inwardly.

"The feeling of sponging off my parents...it's so great!"
