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

Hua Yunfei stiffened for a moment, but relaxed the next second, his expression becoming more relaxed: "Yunfei has always wandered in the mountains and rivers of the Southern Region and has never been to the Qinling Mountains in the Central Plains. Junior Brother must have mistaken you for someone else."

At the time, Lü Yao's cultivation level was not high, so he naturally couldn't tell who it was. He even guessed that it was Jiang Yifei or a new cauldron.

But now, he keenly sensed Hua Yunfei's unnaturalness just a moment ago, and thought to himself, "As expected, Hua Yunfei went to Zhongzhou."

It's highly likely that Li Xiaoman went with him, but somehow she ended up with the successor of the Great Thunder Temple and became a follower.

So, was he going to eat people or dig up corpses?

If it's the former, then Hua Yunfei isn't worth saving.

If it's the latter, then Hua Yunfei might become his helper. He has a bold idea to help Hua Yunfei grow up quickly and become one of the ally in the dark turmoil.

As for how to grow up, Qinling is a good place, Earth is a good place, and the underworld is a good place. As long as you are willing to think of a way, you can always find a corpse. At worst, you can let him follow Duan De.

Lu Yao took out the array flag from his sea of ​​energy and casually tossed it away, turning this area into a small world that shielded the outside world.

This array flag, obtained from the Dragon Head Peak Master, is far inferior to the Boundless Array Pattern, and even to the Saint's Array Pattern, but it is sufficient to block the prying eyes of powerful beings.

Seeing his actions and recalling what the other party had just said, Hua Yunfei's divine power erupted instantly. Star power, like a soft veil, draped over his body, and the broken strings of the zither automatically reconnected, leaving no trace of the break.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Hua Yunfei asked softly.

At the same time, he looked around, but everything was covered by the formation. He was afraid that the person wouldn't be able to notice anything unusual for a while, so naturally they couldn't save him.

Lu Yao glanced at the broken string and thought to himself: It's really interesting how artists can break or heal their strings depending on their mood.

Very good, very powerful.

"I have no ill intentions; I have only come to change your fate."

Lu Yao looked at the nervous Hua Yunfei, smiled gently, and a flash of immortal light appeared on his hand, the light of flying immortals flashing by.

"The Flying Immortal Technique?" Hua Yunfei suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Lü Yao's hand, even though the Flying Immortal Light had already disappeared.

His eyes held resentment, fear, and sorrow—a multitude of emotions converging within them, causing his hands holding the zither to tremble slightly, his fingertips digging deeply into the strings: "Are you one of their people?"

Lü Yao shook his head: "No, that doesn't count."

Since the Ruthless Clan hadn't firmly chosen him a few days ago, nor had they handed over the Undying Heavenly Art, he wasn't going to give the Dragon Head Peak Master any face.

Going all in is a kind of wisdom, but the Dragon Head Peak Master doesn't understand it and actually wants both?

Even if he firmly chooses Yao Guang, Yao Guang will eventually give him a broken chaotic body with the combat power of an emperor, and the Ruthless lineage will be considered to have prospered.

It was already a foregone conclusion that Elder Zhou would take control of the Ruthless Clan. All that was left was for him to do was suppress the Dragon Head Peak Master so that Elder Zhou could take over.

"Then how come you practice holy...demonic arts?"

Hua Yunfei was about to say "Sacred Skill" when he looked around and, confirming that the shadowy figure was not there, changed his mind and said "Demonic Skill".

"I also cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, just like you, devouring the essence of others."

Lü Yao smiled, a smile that was extremely radiant.

But in my heart I was thinking: It's so hard to play a psychopath, I'm better suited to positive roles.

Hua Yunfei remained silent.

Lu Yao's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "You and I are both furnaces. If we want to change our fate, the only way is to eat more people and become stronger."

Especially if you advance and retreat alongside me, the two of us working together might be able to defeat a Heavenly Skill cultivator.

Hua Yunfei solemnly replied, "I never wantonly devour living people, and I cannot associate with you."

Having said that, he suddenly transformed into a beam of starlight, soaring into the sky, ready to leave this small world.

Whether Hua Yunfei in the original novel ate living people or not, he didn't know, but at least during this period, he still adhered to his last bottom line, only digging up graves in the wilderness to search for the origins of the dead.

"Come back." Lü Yao chuckled, seeing the boy's surging divine power and the strange phenomenon of stars shining in the blue sky appearing, as he wanted to activate this formation.

With a flick of his finger, he unleashed the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique, dissolving the opponent's immense power. Then, with a hook of his finger, Hua Yunfei was sent flying backward.

Actually, his strongest technique is the Ruthless Man's Secret Technique, but unfortunately there's no place to use it, so he can only make up for it with Holy Light Technique and Tai Chi.

Hua Yunfei fell in front of Lü Yao like an ordinary person, without any resistance.

"You!" Hua Yunfei's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock.

The other party looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, even younger than himself, so how could his strength be so terrifying?

You should know that he was carefully trained by the Ruthless Lineage and the Tai Xuan Sect, and he is no less than the Holy Son of the Holy Land.

"So you went to the Qinling Mountains to find the ancient corpses slumbering there, then why were you chasing that woman?"

Hua Yunfei knew he couldn't leave, so he calmed down, stood up, and picked up his beloved guqin: "The ancient corpses in the Qinling Mountains are not normal beings. They devour the source of life at will, so they are not innocent killings."

As for the woman you mentioned, she was the holy maiden of the Central Plains Maiden Cult. She practiced the Maiden's Skill, specializing in yin-yang intercourse, and drained the life essence of all the men in the town. I was hunting her down.

Holy crap, awesome!

"Of all the religions in Zhongzhou, there's also the Maiden Cult?" Lü Yao asked curiously.

This is far more outrageous than the desires of the Myriad Desires Nunnery and Ziwei in the Eastern Wilderness. A saintess and a town's men... Tsk tsk tsk, Lu Yao had never heard of such an outrageous thing before.

I have a friend, let me explain.

Hua Yunfei glanced at the man speechlessly. Clearly, the Ruthless Clan was far more sinister than the Maiden Cult, right? Why did it seem like you weren't afraid of the Ruthless Clan at all, but rather somewhat afraid of the Maiden Cult?

If Lü Yao knew, he would definitely shout: "You think I'm afraid? What a joke!"

"The Hundred Sects of Zhongzhou are just a figurative number; in reality, there are far more. Powerful sects like the Yin-Yang Sect, bizarre sects like the Hundred Flowers Sect, and demonic sects like the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Maiden Sect, each has its own strengths."

Hua Yunfei had clearly spent a considerable amount of time in Zhongzhou and was very familiar with some of the things happening there.

Among them, the Maiden Cult was one that even Lü Yao had never heard of.

Is this an important reason why Emperor Hengyu went to Zhongzhou?

His friend must be interested in the Maiden Cult; perhaps the Maiden Cult was even created by Hengyu for another friend.

Lu Yao was mentally creating gossip about Emperor Hengyu, which he planned to share with Ye Fan, the Black Emperor, and other unscrupulous cultivators in the future.

"What exactly do you want?" Hua Yunfei finally lost his temper. He couldn't leave, he couldn't fight back, and the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Since you don't eat people, there's still hope for you. Are you willing to follow me? I'll solve all the problems caused by the Devouring Heaven Demon Art for you."

Lu Yao explained his purpose: if Hua Yunfei agreed, he would try to slightly modify the immortal technique to see if it could only absorb the source without destroying the corpse's appearance.

When a person dies, the lamp goes out. Hua Yunfei only borrowed the other person's essence and did not desecrate the corpse. This can be barely explained.

Lü Yao could help Hua Yunfei break away from the ruthless lineage and cultivate other scriptures, thus completely changing his fate.

However, facing immense pressure from the Dark Turmoil, he hoped that Hua Yunfei could become a Quasi-Emperor within two hundred years. If that wasn't possible, a Great Sage would suffice, using the Chaos Dao's ability to encompass all paths as one of his backup plans.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art, a wheelchair-bound martial art, is the most suitable.

He had an idea, which was the Summoning of Demons Scripture.

There is no such thing as a battle spirit in this world, but there are remnant souls, divine thoughts, and the power of sentient beings' thoughts. Could this be used to deduce a version of the "Covering the Sky" demon-summoning scripture?

By using Hua Yunfei's incomplete Chaotic Body to operate the Demon Summoning Scripture, summoning the divine thoughts of the Sun Saint Emperor and the Moon Saint Emperor, and merging the thoughts of all living beings into his own body, can he gain the combat power of an Emperor?

The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, Lao Tzu, and Shakyamuni were instructed to cultivate the Demon-Summoning Scripture. In addition to the fragments of laws in their descendants' bloodlines, they also summoned fragments of remnant souls from their past lives in the universe, thus completely reviving them.

Such scriptures involve extremely profound research into the power of thought, primordial spirit, bloodline, and attachments of sentient beings; he might need to reach an extremely high level of understanding to attempt them.

But it doesn't matter, we can make arrangements now. Hua Yunfei is the experimental subject of the Summoning Demon Scripture that I chose myself.
