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

Elder Zhou appeared from around a corner, his face gloomy, still wearing that simple robe, with snow-white beard and eyebrows.

You're just one step away from becoming a Celestial Realm expert. Can't you please pay attention to your appearance? Going out like this is really damaging to the reputation of my Yao Guang Holy Land.

Lu Yao smiled brightly: "Elder Zhou, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

He quickened his pace, and before Elder Zhou could even react, his hands were gripped tightly, and he was even hugged.

This is how one becomes a saint, warming one's own people like the sun.

"Lu Yao, you..." Elder Zhou wanted to say something, but Lu Yao cut him off.

Lu Yao grabbed Elder Zhou's sleeve and headed towards the main hall: "The peak master summoned me, let's talk as we walk."

"Elder Zhou, you have no idea how lost I felt when you abandoned me at the Azure Emperor's Tomb. Without you, where in this world are there any good people?"

Lü Yao felt wronged:

"The Ji family has issued a warrant for my arrest throughout the Eastern Wilderness, the Jiang family wants to steal my fourth-level belt, and after finally making it to the Central Plains, a madwoman appeared and actually tried to set me on fire!"

As Lü Yao spoke, he grew angrier and angrier, his whole body trembling with cold. He thought of the woman in the Chaos Gourd with astonishing combat power, who normally possessed two forbidden abilities and could unleash four forbidden abilities when her mask was removed. He felt even more strongly that everyone outside the Ruthless lineage was a bad person.

"Elder Zhou, look at this mark. Am I cursed?"

Lu Yao stopped and showed his left hand to Elder Zhou.

The mark he gained from cultivating the incomplete Flame Technique bears a slight resemblance to the mark on the face of the Hundred Flowers Saintess, but it was not innate.

These elders may not have advanced their cultivation level quickly, but their knowledge is extraordinary. Perhaps they can confirm whether it is related to that ancient deity?

Just like some middle-aged and elderly men on Earth, they may not earn much money, but when it comes to fishing, gardening, and so on, they are all experts.

"Heh..." Elder Zhou originally wanted to teach this disobedient demon fetus a lesson, but he swallowed it all back.

He looked at the feather-like mark and thought it was just an ordinary birthmark, with no power of curse.

"Looking at it, it seems there's nothing special about it." Elder Zhou pondered carefully, afraid that Lü Yao would realize that he didn't seem to have noticed anything.

"It's alright, Elder Zhou. I know you're self-taught and can definitely find out the origin of the mark. I'll wait for your good news. We've arrived at the main hall. I'll go in and see the peak master first."

Lu Yao released Elder Zhou's hand and entered the main hall.

But he was also wondering: the flame Dao principles within the Crimson Feather Mark were extremely strong, with wisps of flame constantly entering and exiting his every muscle and internal organ, so why couldn't Elder Zhou sense it?

He put the matter aside and planned to go to the Hall of Inheritance later to carefully search through the relevant records to see if anything similar had ever appeared in the Eastern Wilderness.

As soon as Lü Yao entered the main hall, he felt the light dim. In the center of the hall, there was still a replica of the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns, and behind the cauldron stood the Dragon Head Peak Master.

"I'm back."

The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice was calm, showing no anger at the fact that he had disappeared for two years after shaking off Elder Zhou.

"Disciple greets Peak Master. A day apart feels like three autumns, and two years apart feels like several Great Emperors have passed."

Lü Yao seemed to have developed genuine feelings; outside of the ruthless lineage, where are the good people?

There aren't many people as easily fooled as the Dragon Head Peak Master and Elder Zhou.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The Dragon Head Peak Master emerged from the shadows, stroking his beard, looking at his disciple who had been cultivating the sacred art for three years, his face expressionless.

But soon, his expression changed, and he fiercely plucked out a tuft of his beard: "You've broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm?"

This is a question.

Another sentence: "You have achieved the Four Extremes Secret Realm."

This is an affirmative statement.

Lü Yao nodded: "I was fortunate enough to make some progress; I just broke through a few days ago."

He was somewhat dissatisfied that there was no Four Extreme Heavenly Tribulation, which meant that his talent was not heaven-defying enough.

My single-stage Sea of ​​Wheels cultivation appears to be equivalent to the Four Extremes, but in the battle of Qinling, my combat power was equivalent to the early stage of Dragon Transformation. Shouldn't I be at least a Seventh Forbidden Realm cultivator? I didn't even get a lightning tribulation. I give the Great Dao a bad review!

"Three years, from the other shore to the four extremes...you..."

Dragon Head Peak never expected him to cultivate so quickly, leaping over a major realm in three years. How many people must he have killed and how much essence must he have consumed!

Could it be that he avoided Elder Zhou because he didn't want others to discover his cruelty? If so, it makes sense.

The Dragon Head Peak Master thought of Hua Yunfei from the Tai Xuan Sect. What a good kid he was! When he ate the essence of the first corpse, he cried for a whole month and then became depressed for half a year.

Even now, there is still some resistance to devouring the source.

He has always devoured corpses whenever possible, and the people he kills are all evil people.

"Child, where have you been these past two years since the Ji family issued a warrant for your arrest?" The Dragon Head Peak Master's voice softened slightly, showing more leniency towards the hardworking and ambitious demonic fetus.

"Qinling, your disciple has gone to Qinling in Zhongzhou."

Lu Yao told him the truth, there was nothing to hide.

"Qinling Mountains, so it's Qinling Mountains," the peak master said with an expression that said, "No wonder."

This makes sense. The Qinling Mountains are full of powerful individuals who want to be resurrected or achieve immortality through corpse walking, making it a good place to devour the source of life.

"I know you are diligent in cultivating the sacred arts, but you must also exercise restraint. Otherwise, the many conflicts of the source will be difficult to resolve, and you will die sooner or later."

Even the Dragon Head Peak Master was afraid. With this rate of consumption and cultivation speed, wouldn't they eventually devour the entire Ruthless Clan?

This child doesn't seem to have much of a sense of right and wrong.

"Lu Yao, when you're out in the world, it's best not to act too evilly. After all, we are a reputable and righteous sect, bearing the name of the Yao Guang Holy Land."

The Dragon Head Peak Master entrusted it to him.

So, what do you mean by this, sir? Lü Yao didn't understand. The ruthless lineage was advising him not to eat too much? Not to be too evil?

You ate people all day, but didn't take your medicine?

But he still respectfully replied, "This disciple understands."

Then, his eyes darted around and he said, "When I am away from home, my cultivation resources are consumed very quickly. I ask the Peak Master to grant me some more resources, preferably divine resources, enough for my cultivation at the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation realms."

"Also, grant me two ancient medicinal herbs, each a hundred thousand years old, for use in battles to save my life."

Lu Yao knew what opening a window meant, so he directly asked for a big one, a 100,000-year-old medicinal king, which there were probably only a few in Yao Guang's medicinal garden.

The Dragon Head Peak Master shook his head: "Divine Source is a divine object left over from the Primordial Era. Even the elders don't have it. Only the Supreme Elders can have a little bit to aid their cultivation. I'll give you some Pure Source, which is enough for you."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, and a source of energy emanating a rich and pure essence of heaven and earth appeared in front of Lü Yao.

Lu Yao didn't stand on ceremony and directly collected the pile of pure source material.

The Holy Land is great; there's no need for a poor wretch like Ye Fan to search for resources everywhere.

"There is still a hundred thousand years of Medicine King."

Lü Yao became increasingly greedy.

"A 100,000-year-old medicinal king, second only to the immortal divine medicine, even the Holy Son doesn't have it, so you'd better not even think about it. As for the two 8,000-year-old spiritual herbs, you can just forget about them."

To be fair, the peak master treated him quite well. In order to help him grow and become a proper demonic fetus of the holy son, he was really willing to go to great lengths.

"Five!"

The Dragon Head Peak Master thought for a moment: "Three plants."

"make a deal!"

The Dragon Head Peak Master was taken aback; something seemed amiss.

But he didn't renege on his promise and gave Lü Yao three eight-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Despite being only eight thousand years old, it fetches a high price at auction in the Divine City, even among renowned figures nearing their end.

Having obtained everything he needed, Lü Yao finally revealed his true intentions, stating his sole purpose for returning:

"Peak Master, I want to be the Holy Son!"
