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

However, he was willing to use Hua Yunfei on the condition that everything he said was true and that he had not yet begun to devour the essence of innocent people in a frenzied manner!

He considered whether to arrange a two-hundred-year plan for Hua Yunfei, Yao Guang, and Jiang Yifei, so that they could shine in the darkness and turmoil, and even bring out Wang Bo, who was hiding somewhere.

"What happened to your remaining body and corpse after you devoured the source?"

As someone who cultivates demonic arts, he naturally knows that even if one only devours the essence of a corpse, the damage to the corpse will be severe.

"The remains will be reburied."

Lu Yao pretended to believe him first, and then he could ask his guardian spirit.

"The Ruthless lineage will revere me. Whether they are the leader of this lineage or practitioners of Heavenly Skill, they must carry out my will."

I can make them stop using you as a vessel, but only if you have never actually devoured a living person.

If you haven't lied to me, the ruthless lineage will help you cultivate. In the future, during a great upheaval that will cause immense suffering, you must sacrifice your life to quell the chaos.

If you are lying to me, and have already devoured living beings, there's no need for cultivators worldwide to hunt you down; I will take action myself.

"Think carefully about what I'm saying. Once you've made up your mind, come find me at the Holy Land of Yao Guang."

Lu Yao calculated the time and realized that things were bad. If he didn't go to Xiyue Mountain soon, Yao Guang would probably have to personally suppress the Great Moon.

"The Saint of Yaoguang..." Hua Yunfei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he finally guessed his identity.

Lü Yao ignored him and waved his hand to remove the battle flags.

Lu Yao's eyes shone with holy light, and fragments of laws danced in the depths of his pupils.

Sure enough, he saw an old man in gray standing on a cliff not far away, who seemed quite surprised to see Lü Yao.

Lu Yao flashed to his side and waved his hand to set up a restriction.

"The Holy Son of Yaoguang?" The avatar of Elder Zhang Taishang did not bow to the Holy Son, and even had a somewhat arrogant attitude.

He was a powerful being, whose true body had been in seclusion for a long time, while his avatar had been out in the world for a long time. He only knew that Lü Yao had become a holy son, but he lacked a proper understanding of just how monstrous he was, so his attitude had not yet changed.

He clearly saw Lü Yao appear just now, but he didn't go up to acknowledge her. This could be explained as fearing that Lü Yao's relationship with the ruthless lineage would be exposed and cause trouble. But now, he really deserves to be taught a lesson.

Lu Yao didn't tolerate him; it was just an avatar.

"Swoosh!" Elder Zhang felt a blur before his eyes, and one of his arms suddenly separated from his body under the purple lightning, falling to the ground two or three meters away with a "thud".

Lu Yao remained calm, holding a stone gourd shrouded in chaotic energy in his hand.

The lightning bolt just now was the essence of lightning that Elder Zhou collected for him from the thunderclouds. It was nurtured by the secret techniques of sages and could at most kill a late-stage Dragon Transformation cultivator, but with the secret cultivation of the "Soldier" character, it could now injure a half-step Great Power.

But for Lü Yao, it was no longer of any use; it was just enough to intimidate Zhang Taishang.

This thing followed the Dragon Head Peak Master's footsteps closely, doing its best, choosing to sit on the fence, and hurting his avatar was already showing mercy.

If he didn't need to keep an eye on Hua Yunfei, he would definitely have killed him.

This was his way of venting his dissatisfaction, which Elder Zhang understood, and the Dragon Head Peak Master also understood.

"I'll ask, you answer." Lü Yao put away the gourd.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please ask." Zhang Taishang's attitude immediately improved, though a trace of fear still lingered on his face.

He never expected to be injured in a single encounter. If that bolt of lightning had pierced his forehead, he would have died instantly.

"Has Hua Yunfei ever devoured the essence of a living person?"

Elder Zhang pondered for a moment: "When I was by his side, he at most devoured the essence of evil people, but I never saw him indiscriminately killing innocent people."

"When you were around?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled.

"I also occasionally leave for a period of time to return to Dragon Head Peak to see the main body and exchange information. During this time, I can't be sure whether he indiscriminately kills innocent people."

Lu Yao nodded, looking at Hua Yunfei by the pond, his gaze gradually becoming profound: "Keep an eye on him. If you find him wantonly devouring the essence of innocent people, kill him immediately. If not, this person will be of great use to me."

Elder Zhang hesitated: "But I occasionally return to the Holy Land..."

"Then show me your true form," Lü Yao interrupted him rudely.

But Zhang Taishang's avatar still forced himself to finish: "He is the demonic embryo of a Heavenly Cultivator. Without him, Yaoguang..."

Before Lü Yao could finish listening, he abruptly turned to the avatar of Elder Zhang and said sternly, "I said, if he indiscriminately slaughters living people, I will personally take action. Don't you understand? Do you only obey my will if I return to the Holy Land and severely injure your true body?"

Although he doesn't currently have the strength to seriously injure a powerful expert, this period of time won't last too long.

At that time, he still needed the Dragon Head Peak Master and Elder Zhang; then, these two would be dispensable.

"Yes... I will keep an eye on Hua Yunfei." Zhang Taishang felt that the Holy Son was extremely majestic, completely different from Yao Guang's gentleness. Was he really a man-eater who could eat people and make them crazy?

"As for Yaoguang, when you return to the Holy Land, you can tell the Peak Master and him that cultivating the Heavenly Technique to the end leads to certain death, unless he can get help from two people..."

Lu Yao's figure slowly disappeared, leaving behind a sentence that Elder Zhang found hard to understand.

......

The sacred families are located on similar mountains, within a hundred meters of each other. Each family has set up a viewing platform, with spiritual fruits and fine wines placed in front of each seat.

A viewing platform was just big enough to accommodate several hundred elders and disciples of the sect.

Such a distance is quite far for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is no different from being right next to them. Therefore, the powerful figures from Zifu, Wanchu, and the Feng family chatted happily among themselves.

The old uncle of the Wang family kept talking with the two powerful figures of the Ji family.

In particular, the powerful figure who was several hundred years old filled the Wang family with fervor. Such a person had a chance to reach the pinnacle of sainthood, and even a slight chance to sever the Dao in the future.

It was obvious that the Ji family was in a good mood, because the Ji family's prodigy was about to suppress the Holy Son of Yao Guang and become famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness. This was far more impressive than bullying the descendants of the Azure Emperor.

That descendant of the Azure Emperor possessed nothing but a Chaos Azure Lotus.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanbing's words of insight have truly enlightened me. After returning and spending several months in seclusion, I hope my cultivation will increase even further."

The powerful figure from the Wang family laughed heartily, startling the cultivators on the other viewing platforms who frequently turned their heads to guess what the two families were discussing.

The powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the powerful figure from the Feng family: "I have heard that the Wang family has a son named Teng, who is the reincarnation of an ancient emperor. He has already entered the Dragon Transformation Realm and is probably about to enter the Immortal Realm."

"I've also heard that there's been unrest in the Northern Region recently. The Wang family is planning to extend their influence there and cooperate with the Ji family to develop an ancient source mine. It seems to be true."

The Feng family is located in the Central Region, bordering the Northern Region, so they receive news from the Northern Region much faster than from the Southern Region.

The Holy Land of Yao Guang was much slower to respond to this news.

"I also heard that Wang Teng once visited the Yaochi Holy Land, and there were rumors in the Northern Region that the two families had the idea of ​​a marriage alliance. But seeing the relationship between the Wang family and the Ji family today, I wonder if the Ji and Wang families also have the idea of ​​a marriage alliance."

"Oh? There are such rumors in the Northern Region? But I don't think Yaochi will ally with the Wang family. Yaochi has always been neutral. The Ji family is a possibility, though. They face pressure from the demon race and now have a dirty secret with Yaoguang."

By the way, why did the Holy Maiden of Yaochi descend upon the Southern Region today?

"I do know a little about that. I heard that the peach trees in Yaochi will soon bloom, and perhaps a grand peach festival will be held. This is an old custom of Yaochi."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi came to the Southern Region to deliver invitations to the Yaoguang and Ji families, but happened to encounter a dispute between the two families.

Although the Tai Xuan Feast attracted two forces from the Central Region, it was actually an internal struggle within the Southern Region. Whoever won would become the number one force in the Southern Region.

As the powerful being from the Purple Mansion spoke, he actually left his own observation platform and came to the side of the powerful being from the Feng family.

After the shimmering purple aura that had been concealing his body dissipated, a young man appeared before Feng Huang with a gentle smile: "Junior Nephew Feng Huang, please make room. I have some things to discuss with Fellow Daoist Feng."

The eldest son of the Feng family scoffed inwardly, thinking, "What are you talking about? You just want to hear gossip."

But seeing that this powerful figure looked young, he was unwilling to offend him.

This means that he is young, cultivates extremely quickly, and soon entered the Immortal Platform. Such talent is beyond the reach of even those who are not top-tier in the Eastern Wilderness, and even those who rely on time to slowly grind their way to Immortal Level Two.

The Peacock King is a case in point. Because of his high talent and rapid cultivation, even after a thousand years in the second installment of the game, he still looks like a young boy.

His combat power is extremely terrifying; he is not afraid in the slightest, even when facing the Holy Lord of the ultimate human power.

"I see that Feng Huang is as noble as a celestial maiden, with extraordinary grace. Why doesn't she step forward and compete with the Ji and Yao Guang families? Perhaps the Feng family will produce a figure like the Queen Mother of the West in the future?"

The powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land was clearly a reckless person, saying whatever came to mind.

The eldest member of the Feng family sneered, "Why doesn't the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion step forward?"

"It's up! Look!"

With a flick of his finger, a powerful figure from the Purple Mansion Holy Land caused a purple light to flash from his own viewing platform, appearing on the dueling arena.

"The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land challenges the Ji Family's Divine Body."

The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion, with disheveled hair, wearing a purple robe, and holding a purple-gold divine sword, was pointing towards the Ji family's viewing platform.

He was in high spirits, his hair swirling, and purple mist swirled behind him. In a short while, all the clouds in the sky turned purple.

"It's the extraordinary phenomenon of purple qi coming from the east from the Purple Mansion Holy Land!" The crowd stirred.

"Terrifying! He actually cultivated a strange phenomenon after birth, and it seems to be no less impressive than the 'Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea' technique of the Ji family's divine body."

Ancient phenomena were sometimes innate, arising from one's constitution; others were cultivated later in life, and were the work of exceptionally talented individuals.

Among the powerful beings who cultivate extraordinary phenomena after birth, the most representative figure is none other than Nangong Zheng! He is awe-inspiring in the Eastern Wilderness, aspiring to become an immortal!

The extraordinary phenomenon of the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion was that purple energy came from the east, and the entire sky instantly turned completely purple.

"I've heard that the most outstanding person in the Purple Mansion Holy Land is the Holy Maiden, who is a primordial Dao embryo. I never expected that this unknown Holy Son would be so terrifying."

"As expected of a sacred land with a history spanning countless millennia, its profound heritage and the presence of such a prodigy..."

This is an elder from a major sect in the Southern Region. He's really... hungry. Who wouldn't want a disciple like this? Which faction wouldn't want one?

Even if there's no divine body, having a person capable of cultivating extraordinary phenomena is enough.

"I'll go and suppress him."

At the Ji Family Viewing Platform, Ji Haoyue remained with his eyes closed, meditating. His only opponent was the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and his only rival was the successor of an extreme power.

So Ji Mingyue and Wushang stood up together, ready to make their move.

Suddenly, Ji Haoyue opened her eyes, a burst of blue light emanating from them. Behind her, the bright moon rose, and the sea surged, displaying extraordinary phenomena: "They've arrived."

The purple aura that stretched for three thousand miles across the sky was suddenly split into two, and a beam of white, silk-like light swept across the sky, reaching the distant Star Peak and extending all the way to the Moon.

Dao patterns were inscribed on the Path of Light, fragments of laws danced in the air, celestial flowers descended from the sky, and the phantoms of the Four Spirits—nine dragons, nine phoenixes, nine turtles, and nine tigers—appeared. A figure slowly approached from afar...
