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

"Uh..." Yao Guang didn't know how to answer.

Throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, it seems that he only lost to Lü Yao; no other prodigy had the ability to bully him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Yao Guang still bowed and then turned to look at the Holy Lord and the other peak masters: "I have gained profound insights from the battle with the Holy Son and wish to return to study them further."

"Go then, and study diligently. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to reclaim the position of Holy Son in the future." Holy Lord Li Daoqing's voice was clear and encouraging.

"What the Holy Lord says is absolutely right. You should go back and focus on your cultivation." The Dragon Head Peak Master hadn't expected that Yao Guang hadn't even been able to probe the other party's bottom line of strength.

The opponent is two minor realms lower than Yao Guang, and Yao Guang himself is at the fifth level of the forbidden realm, which is the seventh level of the forbidden realm. Lü Yao won so easily, could it be the eighth level of the forbidden realm?

The Dragon Pattern Peak Master knew the two men's backgrounds best and was calculating in his mind.

But it certainly won't be a divine restriction; this special state requires traversing the five major secret realms and resonating simultaneously.

It's only possible if you go to Sendai.

But actually, his calculation is incorrect, because Lü Yao is cultivating a secret realm alone, and now the combat power of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm has exceeded his original combat power. Lü Yao has never used his full strength, nor has he encountered such an enemy.

Even at the average level, the Nine Forbidden Realms are probably not the end.

Based on his own assessment of his strength, and with all his methods employed, he was invincible in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

From the first level of the Four Extremes Realm to the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, it spans a total of twelve minor realms.

Before leaving, Yao Guang said to Lü Yao, "I hope to spar with you again in the future, Senior Brother."

Lu Yao smiled warmly: "You don't have time to catch up."

After saying that, a surge of divine power suddenly erupted from his body, vast and boundless, stirring the sky.

He actually broke through to the second level of the fourth realm on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Daoqing's lips twitched. At this rate, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up in his entire life.

He could be defeated in one move even at the first level of the Heavenly Realm; at the second level, a single finger would probably suffice.

Yao Guang left, still exuding extraordinary bearing, dressed in white with unparalleled elegance and radiant divine light, but all the disciples could see that he no longer seemed so composed.

Being defeated by someone who defies the heavens and attacks immortality, and losing in one blow, certainly has a significant impact on one's state of mind.

The Dragon Head Peak Master looked at his retreating figure and said with concern: "I hope his Dao heart will not collapse."

This is a seed of divine skill that he has nurtured for many years, and he has even arranged a furnace for it. If it were to fall into oblivion, it would be a great loss to the Ruthless lineage.

"Lu Yao, come here." The Holy Lord called Lu Yao down from the dueling platform.

Lü Yao immediately flew to the presence of the many powerful beings: "Holy Lord."

He bowed and looked at the Holy Lord.

At this moment, the protective halo around the Holy Lord had dissipated, revealing his true appearance. He had long black hair, wore white robes with dark gold cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"From now on, you will be the new Holy Son of Yao Guang. You must set a good example for all the disciples and not tarnish the prestige of Yao Guang."

"This disciple will certainly take it upon himself to protect the Holy Land of Yaoguang and cherish his fellow disciples as if they were his own family."

Lu Yao spoke loudly, making sure all the disciples present could hear him.

How can we not protect our own sacred land?

The previous Holy Son of Yaoguang was a low-key person who often traveled to dangerous places and did not show himself in front of others. Therefore, the Holy Son of Yaoguang's reputation was far inferior to that of the Ji family's Divine Body. At most, he was mentioned alongside the Divine Body, but that was only because of the face of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

"From this day forward, the Holy Son of Yao Guang is—Lü Yao!"

The Holy Lord proclaimed in a loud voice.

"Greetings, Holy Son Senior Brother!" The disciples bowed.

"Greetings, Holy Son!" the elders shouted.

The sounds rose and fell, like a roaring mountain and a surging sea, reaching straight into the sky.

The Holy Lord turned to the Dragon Head Peak Master: "Now that Lü Yao has succeeded as the Holy Son, he should also know something about the Holy Land. I will take him back to Yaoguang Peak for a few days."

"Very good." The Dragon Head Peak Master nodded.

......

Lü Yao followed the Holy Lord to the main hall of Yaoguang Peak, which was the largest palace in the entire Holy Land, located on the peak and surrounded by other palaces.

The moment you step through the palace gates, the world changes instantly; the interior of the palace is like another world altogether.

A holy, eternal sun hangs high in the sky, showering down endless holy light. Beneath one's feet lies a sea of ​​clouds, layer upon layer. At the very center, fifty-nine cloud peaks rise, transforming into prayer mats for people to rest on.

The Holy Lord pointed to one of the cloud-shaped prayer cushions: "Sit."

Without any hesitation, Lü Yao sat down cross-legged and discovered that beneath countless white clouds lay a vast and magnificent landscape.

I wonder which sage was so generous as to create a small world within the Yao Guang Main Hall.

Lu Yao watched as the Holy Lord slowly walked forward and sat on the highest cloud-shaped prayer mat.

After returning to Yaoguang Peak, Weiwei and Yao Xi left and went back to their own cave dwellings, without following them in.

"This hall is used to entertain distinguished guests, and only the most powerful fifty-six lineage masters, holy sons and holy daughters of the Yao Guang Holy Land are allowed to enter."

The fifty-six lineages correspond to the legacies left by the fifty-six sages, plus the Holy Lord and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter who represent the future, making a total of fifty-nine seats.

But the two skills of the Ruthless lineage, Devouring Heaven and Immortality, cannot be made public. How can they obtain a seat here?

"The Dragon Head Peak lineage has produced sages and left behind scriptures, which is why it occupies a place here."

Seemingly aware of what was puzzling Lü Yao, the Holy Lord Li Daoqing offered him a special explanation.

Lu Yao's heart tightened: the Holy Lord definitely knew about the situation at Dragon Head Peak, and should have guessed that he was cultivating one of the Dragon Head Peak's secret techniques, otherwise he wouldn't have explained it like that.

Seeing that Lü Yao's expression was calm and he did not show his emotions, the Holy Lord nodded: "Yao Guang cultivates the Undying Heavenly Art. As far as I know, in each era, only one person can cultivate the Heavenly Art, and the rest can only be used as furnaces."

Lu Yao seemed to have a guess in his mind what the Holy Lord was going to say.

The lineage that understands the Ruthless Ones the most is probably the Holy Lord's lineage, with whom they have lived for 100,000 years, both cooperating and competing. It is not surprising that they understand the two cultivation methods of the Ruthless Ones.

As for saying that you don't understand at all, that's probably impossible. It's impossible for every Holy Lord in history to be so useless, otherwise the Holy Land would have belonged to the ruthless lineage long ago.

"Since you were able to defeat Yao Guang, it means that you were once a furnace that was abandoned by Dragon Head Peak."

Holy Lord Li Daoqing rubbed his thumb against his index finger joint, slowly pondering how to speak in a way that would gain the young man's approval:

"Your defeat of Yao Guang does not mean that Dragon Head Peak has completely given up on him. They may be hedging their bets on both you and Yao Guang, taking advantage of the natural restraint of the Undying against the Devouring Heaven. Once Yao Guang's cultivation level increases, the outcome between you two at the Dao-Slaying Pass is still uncertain."

What does the Holy Lord mean? Lü Yao wondered to himself.

"If you are willing to wholeheartedly side with my lineage, you will receive my full support, and any request you make will be fulfilled."

The true intentions were revealed when the truth was revealed: the Holy Lord wanted to win me over. In this way, the Holy Son would be the Holy Lord's man, and the Ruthless Ones' lineage would not be in power in the Yao Guang Holy Land in the future.

"Isn't the Holy Lord afraid that if I devour the source, I'll attract the wrath of the world and become a burden to the Holy Land?"

Holy Lord Li Daoqing said calmly, "Dragon Head Peak caused trouble outside, but to outsiders, wasn't it still the Yao Guang Holy Land that did it? The connection of ten thousand years cannot be severed."

That's the truth. Once the Devouring Heaven Demon Art appears in the world, no one will care about the difference between the Holy Lord's lineage and the Ruthless Man's lineage. The Yao Guang Holy Land will become the Devouring Heaven Demon Art's lair.

The Holy Lord added, "Devouring the essence of living beings is ultimately against the natural order. If you wish, I can send a powerful expert to lead a team into the ancient tombs to bring back the remains of ancient geniuses for you to devour."

Lu Yao looked at the Holy Lord, seemingly lost in thought.

It seems that these powerful figures do have a moral bottom line, but not much. They're just digging up graves for their own power, not massacring entire cities.

"My cultivation method has broken free from its constraints. It emphasizes understanding the Tao through reading scriptures, absorbing precious treasures to gain wisdom, and nourishing oneself with divine energy."
