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

The Big Dipper has existed since ancient times, but the Five Regions were formed from the chaotic entity of the mythical era.

Did this small world that gave birth to the Stone-Embedded Holy Spirit exist before the Five Realms, or was it born afterward?

Considering the runes needed to enter the small world, which are significantly different from the current Heaven-Covering Technique, he prefers the former.

Those runes were likely born at the time of transition between the Chaotic Ancient Era and the Mythological Era, which is why they possess the essence of both.

How exactly did Saint Lan Ying learn the method to enter this realm?

Lu Yao could hardly guess that the memories she shared were actually extremely fragmented. Without these details, the details from 40,000 years ago had been lost in the torrent of time.

Looking at the quiet, lifeless world, Lü Yao took a deep breath, suppressed his heart palpitations, and stepped onto the stairs.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

Footsteps echoed in the stone world as a lone figure slowly made its way up.

The steps are extremely long, with people walking on both sides. In the middle are a series of reliefs depicting mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and golden-winged roc, as well as many Taoist inscriptions and graphics.

But they all lost their charm, leaving only the outward appearance.

With a thought, Lü Yao's understanding of Tai Chi was borrowed.

He looked at the carved characters again, and they were still the same as before. It seemed that they had really lost their Daoist essence over the long years.

Without any tests, pressure, restrictions, or formations, Lü Yao easily and simply walked to the top of the platform.

There floated a huge rock there, its color deep and indescribable, yet seemingly encompassing all the colors of the world.

What's even more astonishing is that streams of chaotic energy cascaded down from its body like waterfalls, each strand weighing immensely and causing the void to hum.

"This is..." Lü Yao rose into the air, an expression of disbelief on his face: "This Holy Spirit was actually imbued with the spirit of the Chaos Stone Immortal!"

He knew that the Lord of the Undying Mountain was the Stone Embryo Holy Spirit Emperor, but he was definitely not a divine material like the Chaos Stone, otherwise he would definitely have stronger combat power than the Heavenly Emperor.

However, this failed Holy Spirit was actually transformed from Chaos Immortal Essence. If it were to be born, it would probably be an invincible Heavenly Emperor, and its second incarnation would have combat power comparable to its third or fourth incarnation.

"Did it fail during the process of achieving great success? Or did it fail in the process of becoming an emperor?" Lu Yao murmured, looking at the chaotic stone with its myriad appearances.

The Holy Spirit who achieves great success but fails usually does so because of interference from outsiders, stopping before reaching the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor.

There are also holy spirits who failed to attain enlightenment. One of them, a near-nine-year-old, made a desperate attempt to transform into an ancient emperor of supreme power and the ultimate path in the human world, but he failed to overcome the heavenly tribulation or was tricked by the supreme being of the forbidden zone, and thus did not succeed.

The Holy Spirit’s testimony is just as difficult as the Eucharist’s testimony, but the former is favored by heaven and earth and has successful examples, while the latter has never had one until Ye Fan came along in the future.

However, the Dao-proving tribulation of the Chaos Immortal Spirit is definitely no weaker than that of Ye Fan.

"If one fails to attain enlightenment, shouldn't one pass away peacefully in the universe or in the wilderness? Why is he here again?" Lu Yao wondered.

He flew to the stone, and the purple gourd descended with divine light, forming a luminous curtain around him.

He slowly reached out his hand, attempting to touch the wisps of chaotic energy.

Logically speaking, the chaotic energy should be as heavy as a thousand pounds, but at this moment it was like clouds or mist, passing through easily.

He touched it; the Chaos Stone was cool to the touch.

"Buzz!" Suddenly, the stone trembled slightly, startling Lü Yao.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yao's eyelids went black, and he lost consciousness. He was lifted up by a mysterious force and slowly placed on the Chaos Stone, lying flat on it as if he were fast asleep.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Lü Yao slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a look of shock.

"Hoo..." He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, calming his mind, and then realized that he was lying on the Chaos Stone.

He had just entered another memory, a memory belonging to the Chaos Holy Spirit, incomplete but even more real.

It was as if Lü Yao was truly a celestial spirit nurtured within the Chaos Stone for millions of years, favored by heaven and earth, and transformed into a holy spirit.

This insight is invaluable, especially the experience of undergoing tribulation after achieving great success, which allowed Lü Yao to witness what the true Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation was like.

No wonder Saint Lan Ying believed he had a chance of obtaining the elixir of immortality or an equivalent divine object. It could be said that even in the era of Dao hardship, with such an understanding, becoming a saint was a guaranteed outcome.

Saints can obtain healing items whether they enter dangerous places or exchange with others.

This is an incredible stroke of luck! If Saint Lan Ying hadn't been seriously injured and on the verge of death, her path from Saint to Great Saint would have been almost entirely smooth.

Now, all the good fortune has been left to him.

Even with his thick skin, Lü Yao couldn't ignore such a favor, so he could only think to himself: I'll take care of Xun Can's Dao injury.

Hopefully, his divine source did not break down for unknown reasons.

This holy spirit was transformed from the essence of chaos. It gained sentience during the transition between the chaotic ancient era and the mythological era. In its ignorant consciousness, it even saw real immortals.

Millions of years later, he was born in the age of mythology, and was extremely powerful. Even the living celestial beings at that time dared not say that they could subdue him.

After his birth, he remained unassuming and quietly established his own little world deep within the starry sky. He opened a training ground and devoted himself to cultivation in order to seek enlightenment.

Finally, one day, he felt that he was powerful enough, even more powerful than the Heavenly Venerable at that time, so he stepped into the edge of the universe and triggered the tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

That tribulation of lightning nearly wiped that star field from the world, so much so that even the most powerful celestial beings of the time dared not approach it.

The nine most powerful celestial beings of the mythological era each created one of the nine secrets, but this does not mean that there were only nine celestial beings in that era.

The Celestial Venerable of this era quietly observed this tribulation of enlightenment, adjusted his state, and awaited the inevitable battle.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Immortal Spirit failed. He did not attain the Dao and become a Celestial Venerable. His origin was either obliterated or scattered by the Heavenly Tribulation and returned to the world, leaving his body covered in wounds.

With his last breath, he returned to the Daoist temple, buried his body, which had only a sliver of life left, back into the Chaos Stone, hastily set up an array to gather spiritual energy and attract spiritual energy, and then fell into oblivion.

He longed to be reborn, to be transformed from a chaotic immortal essence into a holy spirit, even if the chance was pitifully slim.

Countless millennia have passed, and his body, nourished by heaven and earth, has transformed back into a celestial spirit, but has not become a holy spirit again.

The most important and unforgettable memories of my life were left in the Chaos Immortal Essence.

"The path to enlightenment is difficult," Lü Yao sighed softly.

Even though he could attain enlightenment in the shortest time by relying on his cheat system, he still had no clue about becoming a Mortal Immortal or Immortal King.

Not to mention that tens of thousands of years later, even Immortal Emperors are no better than dogs, and those at the end of the road or Dao Ancestors can only barely survive. Will he be able to reach the other side?

All he can do is continuously nourish his immortal skills and Tai Chi with various scriptures and secret methods, thereby enhancing his talent and accumulating foundation so that he will be able to forge a path to immortality and reach the pinnacle of immortality in the future.

Lu Yao snapped out of his daze, stood up from the Chaos Stone, and looked around.

The Chaos Stone was three meters high and three meters wide. At this moment, the stone's outer layer began to become transparent, revealing the celestial spirits inside, hazy and indistinct.

"It's a pity that no scriptures were left behind." Lu Yao was a little greedy. Being able to transcend tribulation from the perspective of a supreme being was already a great fortune. He also wanted the scriptures of the Holy Spirit.

"Huh?" Lu Yao suddenly noticed that there were two pits under his feet, and the size of them...

Lu Yao sat down cross-legged, feeling somewhat out of place.

He changed direction again...

Just right... and... this direction... my butt is facing the steps of the platform...

At this moment, he had his back to all the people.
