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

Chapter 98 The Dog Without Beginning

The God King Jiang Taixu had no breath left, as if he were dead. Ye Fan carried him on his back and walked into the depths of Purple Mountain.

"Old Lü, the God King is on his last legs and is likely in imminent danger. He won't be able to leave before he needs treatment now," Ye Fan suggested to Lü Yao after sensing Jiang Taixu's condition with his divine sense.

"Wait a little longer, it's not safe here." Lu Yao's expression was somewhat solemn; he sensed danger here.

The two had just passed several ancient creatures. Some resembled human women but had gems between their eyebrows, while others were covered in scales, like deep-sea creatures. Fortunately, they were all dead.

Of course, the two also encountered Yuan, who was suspected of sealing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, which was the work of Zhang Lin, the fifth generation Yuan Master.

Lu Yao told Ye Fan to follow his intuition, and Ye Fan chose a direction with weaker demonic power and continued forward.

Suddenly, Lü Yao sensed a spying on him as he walked, but he couldn't pinpoint where it was.

"Give me your golden cone; we may be being targeted by ancient creatures."

Ye Fan quickly handed the golden cone to Lü Yao, looking it over: "Can you sense what level of ancient creature it is?"

Lu Yao sensed the faint aura: "It's different from the aura of human cultivation techniques. This is the first time I've seen it, but its strength is not bad. It should be around the first level of the Immortal Platform realm."

Actually, he seems to be stronger than the human immortal, Lu Yao guessed, possibly because he has the blessing of a special bloodline.

"No, there's another one that looks like a powerful being." Lu Yao suddenly sensed something was wrong. The aura of that powerful being was mixed in with that of a half-step powerful being, as obvious as a campfire at night.

So he hurriedly urged Ye Fan to speed up, because this was far more powerful than the ancient creature that had chased Ye Fan in the original story.

Was it because of himself? Or because of his poker face?

The creatures still alive in Purple Mountain are not necessarily those that broke through the source. Ancient creatures with cultivation levels like these are not worth being sealed in the source by powerful beings.

Perhaps they are the offspring left behind by some creatures that broke free of their seal and reproduced.

After walking briskly for several hundred feet, a bell suddenly rang out in the Purple Mountain, clearing the mind and sweeping away ignorance.

That sense of being watched and the demonic power vanished with the sound of the bell.

It seems that some more powerful creature has awakened and been discovered by Wushizhong.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With an imperial weapon, he has nothing to fear as long as the Ancestral King is not born, and he can leave at will. However, he will miss out on the Origin Book and the Black Emperor.

He still had his eye on the Boundless Array Pattern in the Black Emperor's possession.

This is the best situation now, with the Primordial Bell deterring those ancient creatures.

He and Ye Fan entered the interior of the Boundless Bell, into an extremely spacious hall. A human skeleton lay on the ground, next to which was a silver scroll that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

The two could finally breathe a sigh of relief; no powerful ancient creature dared to enter the Wushi Bell.

Lü Yao and Ye Fan put away their weapons.

"It might be the ancestor of the Zhang family. This silver book is the Origin Book." Lu Yao stepped forward and examined the skeleton. It was wearing tattered stone clothes, exactly the same as those on Ye Fan.

He picked up the silver book.

Ye Fan gently laid the God King Jiang Taixu on the ground, then turned to look at Lü Yao upon hearing this, his tone joyful: "Is it really the Origin Heaven Book?"

"Yes." Lü Yao saw the book cover, which was engraved with three ancient characters: Yuan Tian Shu (Book of Origin).

The entire book is engraved in metal, has about a hundred pages, and feels unusually heavy when you hold it.

Suddenly, Lü Yao looked up, took the Source Book and walked to Ye Fan's side, because he found that Jiang Taixu's aura had weakened even more.

"Save Senior God King first." Ye Fan also sensed Jiang Taixu's abnormality and shifted his attention from the book to the person.

He pulled out a drop of blood, which shone like a ruby, exuded a unique fragrance, and emanated a strong life force, instantly filling the entire hall with vitality.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan took out a drop of the Azure Emperor's essence blood to repay the God King's kindness in passing on the Dharma.

"Can the Azure Emperor's essence blood save the God King?" Ye Fan asked.

"At least it can prolong life," Lü Yao replied.

Jiang Taixu's original essence has been depleted to the point of being beyond saving. Only by consuming the complete elixir of immortality or by undergoing a metamorphosis can he live a second life.

But who else but the Supreme Being could possess the complete elixir of immortality? Neither the True Phoenix Elixir of Immortality in Purple Mountain nor the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality in the Myriad Dragon Nest could be obtained by Jiang Taixu or the Holy Master of the Jiang Family.

Ye Fan's ability to obtain even a few drops of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir is already a testament to his extraordinary luck.

Upon arriving in Beidou, Lü Yao, along with Ye Fan and Pang Bo, spent a long time working in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, picking a few of each of the nine kinds of Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine Fruits and quietly taking them out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

It was unclear what fraction of the full potency of the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality it might possess; even Lü Yao was uncertain.

However, the essence blood of the Azure Emperor definitely has the medicinal power of a semi-divine medicine. If the divine spring of the Desolate Ancient Holy Land is added, the medicinal power may be even higher.

Suddenly, Lü Yao paused for a moment, then resumed his normal movements: "Let's try the Emperor's essence blood first, combined with the divine spring. If that doesn't work, we'll try something else."

But his divine sense was constantly focused in one direction, where something seemed to be spying on him.

But it was definitely not an ancient creature; it had neither murderous intent nor any aura of the ancient era.

It only appeared for a moment; if I hadn't achieved a high level of spiritual cultivation, I wouldn't have noticed it just now.

Ye Fan noticed Lü Yao's unusual behavior and transmitted his voice, "What's wrong? Is there something unusual here?"

Lü Yao: "There is a strange creature here, but it is not an ancient being. It revealed its presence when you took out the essence blood of the Azure Emperor."

"Can you beat them?"

Lu Yao nodded slightly, guessing that it was the Black Emperor, the dog of the Great Emperor Wushi.

"Then let's lure him out." When Ye Fan heard that the other party had given away clues when the Azure Emperor's essence blood was mentioned, his eyes narrowed and he came up with an idea.

"Hmm." Lü Yao continued to look down at the condition of God King Jiang Taixu, thinking about how to use the essence blood of the Azure Emperor and the divine spring to heal him later.

The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron was Ye Fan's personal treasure trove; he kept everything he owned inside.

He carefully took out a fruit from the cauldron. The fruit was like a ginseng fruit, shaped like a baby, and was filled with rosy light and Daoist charm, which was refreshing and invigorating. Its vitality was no weaker than that of the Azure Emperor's blood essence.

This is the fruit with the most abundant life essence among the nine kinds of fruits, and it is also the one with the most mysterious appearance, which is very similar to the legendary ginseng fruit, the elixir of immortality.

The moment the fruit appeared, the aura that had just appeared reappeared, and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground clearly reached their ears. Lü Yao suddenly turned around to look at the source of the sound.

Ripples spread through the void there, and two jet-black beast eyes hung suspended in mid-air, about two meters high.

Ye Fan was startled, thinking it was some ancient creature: "What is that?!"

Lu Yao moved with lightning speed, his figure vanishing in an instant. Holding the golden cone in his hand, he stabbed at the fleeting crack, wedging it perfectly. He then channeled his divine power, tearing open the void with a sharp sound.

"It's a dog."

"Woof woof woof!"

Lu Yao reached out to grab the big black dog, and at the same time, the big black dog's blood-red maw bit into Lu Yao's hand, its teeth gleaming with a cold light, as if they were made of divine materials.

With a flick of his wrist, Lü Yao stuffed the golden cone into the big black dog's mouth.

"Awooo—" The big black dog let out a miserable howl and immediately retreated, but unexpectedly, a small Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram appeared in Lu Yao's other hand and pressed down on the black dog.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

Black Emperor felt the heavy suppressive force on his body, even harder than a broken awl that was as hard as an imperial weapon. He let out a miserable cry and jumped out of the void, his tail drooping, looking pitiful.
